Tom 'Spot' Callaway

Biography

Tom "spot" Callaway has worked for Red Hat since 2001, starting as a support technician, then in Sales Engineering for 5 years, and now in Release Engineering. A member of the Fedora Steering Committee since its creation, and the chair of the Fedora Packaging Committee, Tom has put a lot of time into the Fedora project (and with over 100 packages to his name, a lot of tears as well). In what little remains of his spare time, Tom also leads the Aurora SPARC Linux project (porting Fedora to SPARC), and occasionally sleeps. He lives in Chicago with his wonderful wife Pam, two cats, three toads, and at least 30 SPARC machines.
