Kudos to Jesse Keating!

First off I would like to say... the teleconferencing room in the TEL building has the most comfortable chairs ever!

Anyways getting back to the important stuff, during our teleconference with Fedora's Release Engineer, Jesse Keating, we had learned all about what it's like to work for the Fedora Project and specifically what it means to be a Release Engineer.

As a Release Engineer he is responsible for organizing and managing Fedora's progress throughout all the release phases....and best of all... he does it all from home! His thorough explanation of what he does exactly, makes it clear, that he not only is good at what he does but really really likes his job!

I specifically asked Jesse a couple questions.
Question 1: What kind of resources do you use? It seems like you're the go-to-guy so what happens if you can't or are unsure of how to fix a problem?

His answer (in a nutshell): The best resource is the other fedora developers/packagers, google and other redhat engineers!

Question 2: What kind of features is fedora incorporating that are making Fedora more mainstream?

His answer (in a nutshell): Easy use features to access things that normal users care about such as web browser, email, battery life, and fast boot up time.
