A photograph shows a landscape environment at night. The night sky is dark and full of stars. There is a mountain range in the distance with a vast forest of trees in front of it. Closest to the viewer is an open field with a person holding a flashlight, pointed up toward the night sky. Blue text overlaid on the image reads, "2024 Community Operations Initiative." An all-white version of the Fedora Project logo appears in the background over the mountains.

Introducing the Fedora Community Operations Initiative

July 16, 2024 / / 0 Comments

We’re excited to unveil the Fedora Community Operations initiative, an endeavor to boost community engagement, support everyone with more events and contribution points, and build on our amazing culture.

What is the Fedora Community Operations Initiative?

At its heart, the Community Operations Initiative is all about making Fedora an even better place to collaborate and connect. We’re focusing on two main contribution areas: Contributor Experience and Community Social Analytics. Contributor Experience means working on unified documentation, improving onboarding processes, and organizing fantastic virtual events like the Fedora Linux 40 and 41 Release Parties. Community Social Analytics will explore data from our infrastructure tools, applications, and services to help Fedora leadership and the community make smarter decisions, ultimately making Fedora an even more welcoming and efficient community for everyone.

Four rockets with colors of the Fedora Four Foundations leave a colored trail behind them that overlaps, as the rockets propel toward the right-side of the image in lockstep. White text is overlaid on the image, reading "The Fedora Project community." This image is often used with Fedora elections.

Honoring a Fedora legend: Mel Chua

July 15, 2024 / / 0 Comments

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 her 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 her loved ones. In May, we asked the community to share stories and memories of Mel at the F40 Release Party opening remarks. To honor her 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, her impact on the people of our community.

An abstract artwork depicts a lush, green forest with what could either be a pathway or a river winding back through the center of the image. Yellowish strikes of sunlight flood in the open air of the forest. The Fedora Project logo appears overlaid on the image. Underneath the logo it is written, "F40 Wallpaper."

Fedora Linux 40 wallpaper talk: Unveiling the art of Open Source and nature

June 13, 2024 / / 0 Comments

The Fedora Linux wallpaper is always on such a journey 😄. You can explore the creative process behind Fedora wallpapers in my previous F36 blog post.

As I write this, Fedora Linux 40 is live, and being the big four-zero the other Fedora Design Team members and I thought we should do something special. Instead of drawing inspiration from a historical STEM figure with an O last name, we opted for the word “Open” (which conveniently also starts with O!).

We always create a mind map to brainstorm different ways of interpreting the theme we could go with.
