I'm a proud Corkonian, that's what we call somebody from Cork.  I've lived in the USA for the past 23 years and I play the bagpipes, sing opera and race pigeons in my spare time.   I have worked in various big named companies over the years most notably Red Hat for 11 years, where I directed the Engineering Partner Management team which was originally responsible for all technical partner relationships around silicon, server, I/O, storage enablement and then grew up into the public cloud space partner arena.  I'm now focused on the enablement of RISC-V as an architecture, more importantly on what do we need to do as a community to make this a success.  RISC-V is an OPEN Architecture with an OPEN ISA and we need your help in order for it to mature into an enterprise ready platform.  RISC-V is the next great platform coming but will require many eyes and hands in order to make it successful.  We need support from the linux community at large and we also need the support of the Fedora, CentOS Stream community.
