The Infrastructure Team consists of dedicated volunteers and professionals managing the servers, building the tools and utilities, and creating new applications to make Fedora development a smoother process. We’re located all over the globe and communicate primarily by IRC and email.
After four bids (again this year!) and months of comparisons and research, the Flock Planning Committee is pleased to announce that Flock 2016 will be held in Krakow, Poland from Tuesday August 2nd, through Friday August 5th.
The Fedora Council requests that the Objective Leads and top-level teams provide periodic updates to present status and progress towards the mission of Fedora. Recently, I presented the status of the Fedora Modularization Objective. If you would like to track future Council updates, follow this blog, or attend yourself! The schedule is normally posted on the Council Mailing List.
Please keep an eye on the Environments & Stacks Working Group mailing list for ongoing progress with the Modularization Objective.

2015 has been an active and busy year for Fedora. All year, the contributors across all of the different sub-groups, working groups, special interest groups, and teams help make the magic behind Fedora happen. With a project as large as Fedora, sometimes it can be hard to keep others on different sides of the Project up to date. To help share what everyone has worked on make happen this year, all sub-groups, teams, or other groups are invited to share your “Year in Review” on the Fedora Community Blog!
The FOSDEM Distro Devroom will take place 30 & 31 January, 2016 at FOSDEM, in room K.4.201 at Université Libre de Bruxelles, in Brussels, Belgium.
As Linux distributions converge on similar tools, the problem space overlapping different distributions is growing. This standardization across the distributions presents an opportunity to develop generic solutions to the problems of aggregating, building, and maintaining the pieces that go into a distribution.
We welcome submissions targeted at developers interested in issues unique to
distributions, especially in the following topics:
Submissions may be in the form of 30-55 minute talks, panel sessions, round-table discussions, Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions or lightning talks.
Visit https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM16

Flock 2016 planning is in progress! Flock is the annual conference for Fedora contributors to come together, discuss new ideas, work to make those ideas a reality, and continue to promote the foundations of the Fedora Community: Freedom, Friends, Features, and First.
Each year, project leadership works with community members who submit bids to bring Flock to their city. Flock alternates between a North American venue and an European venue each year. More Europe proposals are needed soon for next year’s event. So far, there are two bids in France, but for budget reasons, it does not seem like they will be possible. There is another bid in progress for Vienna, Austria.
It’s not too late to get a proposal in for another city! You can also look at the winning proposal for the city that hosted Flock 2015. If you want to send in a bid, two important things to focus on are cost and convenience. One popular feature of the 2015 site was that the hotel and convention center were in the same building. This would be a major boost to any 2016 bid.
If you are interested in bringing Flock 2016 to your city, you can find information on that process on the Fedora Wiki.
Send any questions to flock-planning@lists.fedoraproject.org, the official mailing list for all planning and coordination for organizing Flock every year.
Across the Linux and Fedora communities, there are several members of various communities that write and maintain their own blogs across all four corners of the world. With that being said, both of these communities are large and sometimes it’s a challenge to keep track of an individual contributor’s blog versus all of the other noise on the Internet. How can one expect to keep up with what’s going on in the world of Fedora and the greater Linux community? Fortunately, the Fedora Project offers a solution to this problem: Fedora Planet!

It’s that time of year again: the Fedora Elections cycle for November / December is here. As jkurik described in his detailed post, there are a wide number of seats open this election cycle. Unlike prior elections, there will not be any IRC Town Hall sessions due to the difficulty of scheduling across time zones, which prolongs the election process itself. Instead, this cycle, campaigning and interviews will be done through the Community Blog.
The nomination period will be ending 23:59 UTC on November 23rd. After this period, candidate interviews will begin appearing on the Community Blog. Please see the November / December 2015 Elections Questionnaire for the questions that will be available to the candidates. You are encouraged to add your own, especially if it’s the “tough questions”! Candidates may (or may not) choose to answer as they fit.
Tune in for more Elections coverage on the Community Blog over the next couple of weeks.
