[Remy DeCausemaker]

Fedorans,

When I packed up my entire life and moved to fair Rollywood this past
January to be closer to Red Hat Tower and dive head-first into this
role as the first ever Fedora Community Action and Impact Lead, it was
an absolute dream for me. Every day, I'm working with some of the most
talented, motivated, brilliant hackers, designers, and volunteers that
build and ship the operating system at the core of my digital
existence--not to mention much of the enterprises and infrastructure
around the world. The scale of problems, and the speed at which we are
solving them, is still absolutely mind-blowing to me.

I love my job.
I love my team.
I love the Fedora Community.
I love Red Hat.
Wholeheartedly.
Thank you, all of you.

Never did I imagine there would ever be another opportunity that could
sway me from this path, which I flipped my life upside down to
pursue... but then I got
the call...

Things are moving quickly, and I don't have all the details yet, but
it looks like I'm going to be the first ever Open Source Campaign
Manager for the next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton.

I have to be at campaign HQ in Brooklyn NY ready to hit the ground
running on Monday.

I will be spending my last 24 hours as a Red Hatter flipping my entire
life upside down, again, and I wanted to give the community one last
window to ping me with any outstanding business or questions, and
direct you to the appropriate channels thereafter.

After tomorrow, I'm going to be packing up and moving to Brooklyn to
work 8 days a week until roughly Thanksgiving ;)

In my absence, here is a list of points of contact for FCL business
(cc'd above,) until my replacement arrives.

For all things related to:
- Fedora Council, Matthew Miller: mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org
- Fedora Budget, Events, and ambassadors, Joe Brockmeier: jzb(a)redhat.com
- Fedora Engineering/Infrastructure, Paul Frields: pfrields(a)fedoraproject.org
- Community Operations/CommBlog/Mktg/Misc, the Community Operations
Team: commops(a)lists.fedoraproject.org

I know the timing is less than ideal, with Red Hat Summit next week,
and Flock in August, but, I believe this position will bring the most
visibility to the work and principles that Red Hat, Fedora, and the
FOSS community stand for.

I find strength, purpose, and peace in these words of George Bernard Shaw:

"...I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community,
and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.

...Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch
which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as
brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."

This is one of those "once in a lifetime" moments in our history, and
if the Free and Open Source Software Movement can be part of that,
then I'm willing to answer the call.

Happy Hacking,
--RemyD.

Congrats

Try and replace "Open Source Campaign Manager" with "Free Culture
Campaign Manager" (of freeculture.org ) or "FOSS Campaign Manager".
People may understand "Freedom" better :)

Remy,

This is big news, and if I've said it once, I've said it many more times 
today. This is awesome news and I'm really happy for you to move into 
this position. If there's anyone I can think of who would be a fit for 
the bill, you'd be my first pick.

It's hardly been a year since CommOps really got rolling off the ground, 
but it doesn't take a decade for things to happen. We've accomplished a 
lot together as a team and as a community, and you've helped herald us 
through it as the CommOps founder and lead. Looking at all the successes 
and changes the team has accomplished working together in the project 
these past year, you've played a large part in it. Just from what I've 
witnessed since September, there's a lot that we have to thank you for 
in the form of your time and contributions. I want you to know that I'm 
hugely appreciative of all your time spent to laying the groundwork and 
helping build up to where we are now.

It's going to be a little different not having you around in channel as 
often, but that's how the cards are played. We've spent a lot of time 
and effort getting things established and set up, and I think thanks to 
the time and efforts of the past few months, things are looking pretty 
great for CommOps (and the rest of the project as a whole too). You will 
have to stop by whenever things slow down and share some news about how 
you're kicking butt by bringing FOSS and free culture to the US 
political table.

It's never a goodbye, but a temporary pause. Wherever life takes you, 
I'm sure the paths will cross again, and you always have many of us in 
the community backing and supporting you in your new endeavors. Best of 
luck in Brooklyn and beyond, Remy.

Keep the FOSS flag high for us.

Though we worked only for couple of project together (iG11N FAD and

All the best for new opportunity.

Btw, be aware that if you fail and Trump becomes president you will never work

You'll have a great time, and be doing great things! Now I know who I'll be
talking to in September....

I've been doing IT for campaigns since 1977, since the days of mainframes
and then early PCs networked together. My late-80s and early-90s IETF PPP
development (what most folks think of as dial-up) was mostly funded by the
Carl Levin (senate) and Bob Carr (house) campaigns through Practical
Political Consulting here in Michigan. D's were light-years ahead of R's....

Several months regionally for DfA in 2004, 5 months for OfA in 2008, and
SE-Michigan-only 3 months in 2012. (Sorry RedHatters, we always deployed
Ubuntu.)
