Following the week of Flock 2024, Fedora kept the late-summer conference train rolling with a community booth at this year’s DevConf US held at Boston University from August 14-16, 2024. This year’s conference was an opportunity to sponsor another key community event, spread the word about Fedora, and connect with influential community members while learning about new industry developments, paying particular attention to AI and cloud spaces.
Continue readingThe Fedora Council is considering a change to our policy for promotion of a Fedora deliverable to “Edition” status. Please read that entire document for context before commenting.
Part of the policy currently reads:
A Fedora Edition:
- addresses a distinct, relevant, and broad use-case or user-base that a Fedora Edition is not currently serving;
- is a long term investment for the Fedora Project; and
- is consistent with all of Fedora’s Four Foundations.
We propose an additional line:
The Council may make exceptions to the “distinct” rule when we determine that doing so best fits the Project’s Mission and Vision.
This change reflects actual practice. For example, there is clear overlap between the use-cases and potential user-bases for the current Server, Cloud, and CoreOS Editions, but each takes a different approach. We are currently considering an exception for a KDE Desktop Edition, which would overlap with Fedora Workstation.
This topic is open for community discussion, following our Policy Change Policy. After two weeks, the Council will vote in a new ticket, and if approved, the policy will be updated.
Approval of this change would not automatically mean that approval of a KDE Desktop Edition, but would allow that possibility.
Last February 2024, after FOSDEM, the Fedora Council met for a couple of days to discuss strategy and future of Fedora. As part of this discussion, the council also discussed the proposed initiatives, Community Ops 2024 Reboot and Mentored Projects 2024. We are glad to announce that the council approved both of them!

Content Warning: Cancer, hospice care, death.
August 1st 2024 edit: On Tuesday, July 30th, Mel Chua passed away in the company of close family and friends. We are heartbroken by this news. You can find more information on their CaringBridge page or LWN coverage by Joe Brockmeier. Mel, we miss you. <3
The Fedora Council recently received the news that Mel Chua, a Fedora contributor in the early and formative days of the Project, was placed in hospice care after a long battle against cancer. On behalf of the Fedora community, we extend our condolences and love for Mel and their loved ones. In May, we asked the community to share stories and memories of Mel at the F40 Release Party opening remarks. To honor their memory for the next generation of Fedora contributors, we compiled the stories and a reflection on Mel’s impact on Fedora, its trajectory as a Free Software community, and most importantly, their impact on the people of our community.
Continue readingMembers of the Fedora community have been meeting in chats for what feels like forever. For a long time, regular meetings took place in the #fedora-meeting IRC channels, but lately, we’ve moved much of our communication over to Matrix. With that move, our helper on IRC, zodbot, got succeeded by a trio of Matrix bots, of which meetbot serves as a keeper of minutes. It allows meeting hosts to flag agenda topics and high points, which the bots collect and make publicly available at meetbot.fedoraproject.org.
