Jef Spaleta was an early contributor to fedora.us repo and Fedora Project. He was elected to the Fedora Board as an at-large community representative before life took him to Alaska ( and Antarctica!) to study the Aurora for several years. During those early years of Fedora, he was involved in much of the public discussions around the project’s shape and he was an ever-present voice in Fedora’s IRC channel, helping users and getting them started with constructively contributing. He also did a modest amount of Fedora packaging maintenance work. Now at Red Hat, Jef continues this work as Fedora Project Leader.
