Subject: [CentOS-devel] Welcome Thomas and Patrick to CentOS Project 

Governing Board

Date: Tue, 07 Apr 2020 17:55:53 +0100



Hi,



  The CentOS Governing Board of Directors is pleased to appoint two new

Directors to be added to the Governing Board, effective 8th April 2020:

Thomas Oulevey [1] and Patrick Riehecky [2]. The community will

instantly recognise both from their long standing and well established

support for the CentOS Project over the years, initially as consumers

and community participants, and in more recent times as active across

various initiatives in and around the project space.



  Over the last sixteen years the CentOS project has established itself

as a critical component in the open source ecosystem online. In order

to

maintain this leading role and help drive success for the wider open

source ecosystem, we are moving to a more contributor-centric model. A

key part of enabling this goal is to evolve our transparent governance.

Pat and Thomas have shown keen interest in participating in this

specific endeavour, and we are excited to welcome them to the team,

helping us get there.



  Thomas (alphacc) works in the Controls group within the CERN Beams

department [3]. He has contributed to the CentOS Project since 2012, as

a member of the infrastructure team. He helped to bootstrap a few

Special Interest Groups, helped the QA team with reports, and now

mainly

designs and improves the Community Build Service [4]. Thomas’s sponsor

on the Board is Mike McLean, who will help oversee his transition to

project leadership.



  Patrick (jcpunk) works at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory [5].

He is part of the Scientific Linux team [6] and works on systems that

perform Data Acquisition for various experiments at Fermilab. Although

a

long time member of the community, formally Pat began working with the

CentOS Community when Fermilab decided to use CentOS 8 [7] as its

EL8-base platform. Pat’s sponsor is Johnny Hughes, who will help

oversee

his transition to project leadership.



Please join me in welcoming them to the team,



Regards



Karanbir Singh

Project Lead, The CentOS Project
