I second the nomination of Troy. He's been a pleasure to work with and has done fantastic work to bring KDE Plasma to RHEL/CentOS users after Red Hat ripped it out of RHEL for RHEL 8. The fact that he's a member of modularity team means that he can easily take our feedback and have it incorporated into improving the system, which is a huge boon for us as RHEL 8 leverages that everywhere. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
