14 DAY TRIAL // The former leader of the Fedora Project, Robyn Bergeron, resigned a couple of weeks ago and a new leader has been appointed by Red Hat.
Robyn Bergeron had been in charge of the Fedora Project since February 2012, but she decided that now was the time to step down. Red Had needed to appoint someone to that position, and the company chose Matthew Miller.
“These are exciting times for the Fedora Project. Earlier this year, we released Fedora 20, ‘Heisenbug,’ and, as you read, are hard at work on Fedora.next, the next-generation of the Fedora operating system which aims to span the workstation to the cloud.”
“As the Fedora operating system is changing, so too is our leadership. After two years and four successful releases, we are saying goodbye to Robyn Bergeron as Fedora Project Leader, and welcoming a long-time community member as our newest advocate: Matthew Miller,” reads the official announcement from Red Hat.
Matthew Miller is not actually a newcomer to the project, as he has been a contributor from the beginning. He will have a lot on his plate, especially now with the new Fedora, which promises to be a little bit different from the current version.
The next Fedora is expected to arrive in October, but this Linux distribution is also known to be late most of the time.
