Fedora Forge Usage Policy

After extensive review and discussion on the ticket request and in recent council meetings (see meetbot for 29 July and 15 July 2026), the Fedora Council would like to initiate the policy change policy process for ratifying the Fedora Forge Usage policy. This document is open to public feedback (if any) for a minimum of two weeks. If there are no significant changes to be made to the policy based on community feedback after Thursday, 13 August 2026, this policy will go to a formal ticket vote for Council to approve or reject.
If there are significant changes to be made to the document, Council will review the policy and, if necessary, extend the feedback period before calling for an official vote. Please provide feedback on the discussion post.

The policy can be found on the Council wiki page in Fedora Forge, posted on discourse, and pasted below here for convenience.

Thank you everyone for your contributions to this policy so far, and on behalf of the Council, we look forward to working with you all to ratify this policy soon.

End of Community update

Last few years a small team of people in the CLE Team were working each week to prepare a Community update for you. First one published on October 21st 2021. We were starting with only Infrastructure and Release Engineering teams (+ initiatives we did in CPE Team at the time), but later added more teams to our weekly reports to bring people a better picture what is being worked on. We thank to everyone who read our updates and found some value in them.

But as life is going forward even this updates are evolving. Last few weeks @abompard worked together with us to improve his weekly report to include the sources we are using for this weekly reports. So I introduce to you This Week in Fedora as a replacement for Community weekly updates. I’m glad that this initiative I started few years ago was able to live for that long and hopefully helped a few people to find information they were looking for.

I would like to thank people who helped me working on Community weekly updates:

  • @lenkaseg
  • @jnsamyak
  • @c4rt0
  • @jskladan
  • @t0xic0der

Fedora at XV P.I.W.O. Poznań Free Software Fest

On Saturday May 30th 2026, the XV edition of P.I.W.O. Poznań Free Software Fest was held in Poznań, 🇵🇱 Poland.

P.I.W.O. is an event with a long history. Between 2004 and 2018, it was organized by various student associations at the Poznań University of Technology. After 2018’s XIII edition (superstition much?), it entered a long hiatus that lasted until 2025, when members of the newly-formed Knyfyrtel Poznań Hackerspace decided to bring it back. The reactivated event proved a huge success, with the XIV edition bringing in 197 attendees. As such, ambitions for 2026 were rather big.

From Contributor to Outreachy Intern: My Fedora Journey Begins

Introduction

Hi, I’m Aman, a software developer and open-source enthusiast who enjoys backend development, APIs, and building tools that are useful to others.

I recently started my Outreachy internship with the Fedora community, and this is my first blog as an intern. In this post, I want to share what my first two weeks have been like, what I’ve learned so far, and what I’m looking forward to in the next phase of the internship.

I’m working on the Fedora Release Schedule Planner API, a project focused on improving Fedora’s release planning workflow by moving away from older XML-heavy processes and strengthening the current FastAPI-based API through better tests, authentication, and infrastructure integration.
