1) Fedora Program Manager:
John Poelstra has done an excellent job as the Fedora Program Manager for the last few years, but he is ready to move on to different challenges inside Red Hat, so we're looking for someone to fill his role. For more details see: http://poelcat.wordpress.com/2010/09/30/want-to-be-the-next-fedora-program-manager/
The actual job posting is here: https://careers.redhat.com/ext/detail?redhat6124
2) Fedora Architecture Leader:
Mike McGrath has been involved with Fedora Infrastructure for quite some time now, first as a volunteer, then as a full-time employee in the role of Architecture Lead. Mike is moving into a different role inside Red Hat Engineering, so we're faced with the difficult task of filling his position. Mike has been wonderful to work with, and I'm glad that he will still remain involved with the Fedora community, even if that is no longer going to be his primary job function.
