Change in Fedora leadership

One of the things I like most about the Fedora Project is the
opportunity for people to move and grow in (and out) of different
roles and responsibilities.   The position of Fedora Project Leader,
in particular, has never been a long-term leadership position, but one
that regularly invites new people to assume the role and bring new
ideas and new energy to the project.  I would like to take this
opportunity to share some of my thoughts about being the Fedora
Project Leader, and inform you of upcoming changes in Fedora
leadership.  Any time we make leadership changes in Fedora, we that
that challenge seriously, and do everything we can to make the
leadership transition as smooth as possible.

Although I've been using Fedora since the split from Red Hat Linux,
it's only been the past five of six years that I've really been an
active contributor.  Sure, I was hanging out on the mailing lists,
trying out the pre-releases and reporting bugs, but I didn't really
consider myself a part of Fedora.  It wasn't until I got started with
the Docs team and attended my first FUDCon that I truly caught the
spirit of the Fedora community.  Since then, I've thoroughly enjoyed
rubbing shoulders with people who are infinitely smarter than me, and
I've learned a tremendous amount -- both about the technical bits and
bytes, and also about free software communities.  And for the last
little while, it's been my honor and privilege to serve the community
as the Fedora Project Leader.  The role of Fedora Project Leader isn't
an easy role, but I am proud of the things we've been able to
accomplish both within the distribution and within the community
during my tenure.  We've had three solid Fedora releases during my
time as FPL, each one with a myriad of new features.  I've worked hard
to expand our international outreach, and to get more international
representation on the Fedora Board.  We've updated the Fedora website.
