The Fedora Community Tour
People Make Fedora's Community
... and there's a lot of people in Fedora's community. To make matters more complicated, the people who make Fedora happen every day live across the world, in completely different time zones, and may go by different names (for example, their IRC nickname may bear no resemblance to their real life name!) Fedora Community provides a community member directory and details on each community member to help you keep it all straight.
People Details Tour Highlights:
- Browse a directory of community members
- Learn the basics about any commnunity member
- Get a feel for what groups a community member is involved with
- Learn what packages a community member is involved with
- Check up on the builds for the packages a community member owns
- Check up on the updates for the packages a commnunity member owns
Browse a directory of community members Back to Top 
There are over 1,000 community members from all over the world in the Fedora account system. Can't quite put a name to an IRC nick, or vice-versa? Not exactly sure of the name of the person you are looking for, but have a rough idea and want to browse around to see if you recognize it anywhere? Check out the Fedora Community member directory. Drill down into any community member's profile by clicking on their name.

Learn the basics about any community member Back to Top 
View any community member's profile overview and you'll learn the basics about that person - how to contact them via email or IRC, where in the world they are located, and what their current local time is so you'll know if now is a reasonable time to contact them or not. You'll get a preview listing of what Fedora account groups they're a part of. If the member has a blog URL configured, you'll get a preview of their latest blog posts. All-in-all, a quick glance relays a lot of information to help you learn more about the community member whose profile you're looking at.

Get a feel for what groups a commnunity member is involved with Back to Top 
Maybe you simply want to get a feel for a community member's interests and involvement within Fedora, or perhaps you're trying to determine whether or not your approval to accept a member into your group went through successfully. Maybe you're browsing the profile of a really cool person and want to scope out what groups they're a part of so you can apply to those groups too and also be really cool. Either way, it can be handy to get a listing of the groups a community member is involved with.
