I'd like to offer congrats and thanks to everyone who worked so hard to 
make this release possible -- the community contributors, all of the 
developers who worked tirelessly, the docs and translation teams, the 
marketing and ambassadors folks who help spread Fedora to the masses, the 
testing community, and everyone else who is involved.

It's a great release, and I hope that everyone involved is proud of what 
we've accomplished.

For those of you who don't yet know me, let me introduce myself.  I've 
been with Red Hat for about a year and a half, and over the course of the 
last month I've transitioned from an engineering and quality assurance job 
into a new role as Red Hat's Fedora Project Leader.

My job is to represent the Fedora Project within Red Hat, to work with all 
of the leaders within the Fedora Project (the leaders within the community 
as well as inside of the Red Hat fenceline), and to set priorities and 
direction at the level of engineering, budget, testing, branding, 
marketing, and community building.

I've been getting to know people in those various sub-sets of Fedora, but 
today's release seemed like a great time to make an official introduction 
via email, and I will be at FUDCon Boston on April 7th, and I hope to have 
a chance to meet with and speak to lots of members of the Fedora community 
there.

Enjoy fc5.  Congratulations again to everyone who was involved.
