August 17, 2025 / Antony Nyagah / Comments Off on Outreachy Internship Update: Building the Fedora Release Schedule Planner API
As part of my Outreachy internship with the Fedora Project, I’m building an API to modernize how Fedora plans its release cycles.
With the help of my mentor Tomáš Hrčka, the goal is to replace the current XML-heavy system currently on pagure.io with something flexible, easy to use, and well-structured.
These changes already make onboarding contributors easier and improve testability.
What’s Next
I’m excited about these upcoming milestones:
Refining and aligning tests with the FastAPI structure.
Integrating with Fedora infrastructure for live data.
Strengthening the deployment pipeline for production.
Challenges
My biggest challenge and opportunity is simultaneously learning new backend technologies like FastAPI and OpenID Connect for authorization, along with techniques to improve developer onboarding. Though the learning curve is steep, my mentor’s continuous guidance on the Fedora infrastructure, career development and general advice makes it manageable.
Reflections
This internship has been an incredible learning experience. I’m gaining hands-on exposure to backend architecture, continuous integration practices, and open-source collaboration. More importantly, the chance to build something lasting for Fedora makes the work genuinely rewarding.
There’s a lot left to tackle, and I’m looking forward to pushing it further.

It’s less than 2 weeks until the switch of fedoraproject to our new datacenter, so I thought I would provide a reminder and status update.
Currently we are still on track to switch to the new datacenter the week of June 30th. As mentioned in previous posts:
End users hopefully will not be affected (mirrorlists, docs, etc should all be up and working all the time)
Contributors should expect for applications and services to be down or not fully working on Monday the 30th and Tuesday the 1st. Contributors are advised to hold their work until later in the week and not report problems for those days as we work to migrate things.
Starting Wednesday the 2nd things should be up in the new datacenter and we will start fixing issues that are reported as we can do so.
We ask for your patience in the next few weeks as we setup to do a smooth transfer of resources.
