Justin Wheeler
Special guest
With over a decade of experience, I am the Fedora Community Architect at Red Hat, where I lead initiatives to grow and sustain the Fedora user and developer communities. I collaborate with teams to enhance transparency and openness in interactions between Red Hat and the Fedora Project, leveraging my expertise in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), business strategy, and open source communities.
My work reflects a commitment to fostering collaboration and inclusion in open source communities. In previous roles, I contributed to the CHAOSS Project, where I supported cross-disciplinary teams addressing inclusion practices. I also advised open source strategy for the UNICEF Office of Innovation, mentoring startup cohorts in the UNICEF Venture Fund. These experiences underline my dedication to empowering communities and promoting open source innovation globally.
