In February 2008 <a class="external-link" href="http://www.press.redhat.com/2008/01/16/introducing-paul-frields-as-fedora-project-leader/">Paul Frields replaced Max Spevack</a>, bringing a different perspective to Fedora's community management. Paul, you see, is not a developer. Nor is he based in Raleigh (Red Hat's headquarters). His background with Fedora has been mostly on the documentation side, and he's been working remotely. This gives Paul an interesting perspective on Fedora and its community, and how Fedora connects with Red Hat. I spent a half-hour with Paul today and probed into Fedora and the art of community, as well as some of the innovations in the pipe for Fedora 9. <clip> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blogs.cnet.com/8301-13505_1-9875189-16.html?tag=head">http://blogs.cnet.com/8301-13505_1-9875189-16.html?tag=head</a> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- Caroline E.
