- Fedora upgrades - A long time ago, an upgrade from Fedora N to Fedora N+1 was not easy and the general practice was to reinstall the whole system. I participated in making the upgrade a more pleasant experience.

- Fedora's SPDX migration - I am part of a group that coordinates the change of license's IDs from the old Callaway system to SPDX. That is 30k tags, thousands of maintainers. As part of this process, we identified many new licenses and assigned an SPDX ID to them.
