The Fedora Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are teams within the Fedora Project that are less formal than official subprojects. The SIGs are sometimes a first stage in the development of new projects within the Fedora Project.


Criar um SIG

A SIG is a lightweight structure with very little red tape. If you're interested in forming one, see Creating a Fedora SIG.

Introduction to some SIGs

Ada

Maintainers of Ada packages in Fedora are strongly encouraged to subscribe to the Fedora Ada mailing list. Anyone else who is interested is also welcome to subscribe.

SIGs/Ada

Alternate Architectures

The purpose of the Alternate Architecture SIGs is to promote fedora on different architectures.

Currently there are active teams for:

The following teams are looking for members:

No longer active architectures are:

Amateur Radio

Goal of Amateur Radio group is to improve the Fedora collection by adding packages for amateur radio (Ham Radio) operators and SWLs.

SIGs/AmateurRadio

Astronomy

Goal of Fedora Astronomy group is to gather people interested to improve support for astronomers and astrophysicists.

Astronomy

Atomic

The Fedora Atomic Working Group works to bring integrate new OS technology and tools from Project Atomic into Fedora.

Atomic WG

Criação de Áudio

Our goal is to make Fedora the best free/open-source platform for computer-based music production, audio mastering, and audio editing.

Criação de Áudio

Big Data

The Big Data SIG, in grand Fedora style, aims to make Fedora the best platform for all things related to Big Data.

Bigdata SIG

Bug Triage

Fedora Bug Triage attempts to manage the flow of bug reports filed against other Fedora projects. They stand to prevent the other project members being overwhelmed by bug reports, eliminating trivial bugs, removing or correcting flawed or inadequate reports, and making sure that maintainers are able to get things done.

Nuvem

The Fedora Cloud SIG works to make Fedora successful on all major cloud platforms, public and private.

Cloud SIG

PC

The Desktop SIG strives to make Fedora a very good desktop distribution. The goal is to produce a more targeted desktop spin while maintaining traditional Fedora strengths such as security and commitment to free software. The Desktop SIG will develop and release the "Fedora Desktop" live CD

SIGS/Desktop

DotNet

The DotNet SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain dotnet (and related) packages in Fedora. The goal of this group is to help to anyone interested in dotnet and to support others in creating and maintaining dotnet packages. Anyone interested in C# / dotnet is welcome!

SIGs/DotNet

Educação

The mission of the Fedora Education SIG (Edu SIG) is to optimize Fedora for use by teachers and learners, both within and outside of the context of educational institutions.

We do this by building, maintaining, and evangelizing a strong ecosystem of educational packages within Fedora and by supporting learners in using these packages as tools to reach their curricular goals.

SIGs/Education

EPEL

EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is targeted at filling the gap between the complete Fedora Collection and the packages that are maintained in Enterprise Linux. We are a community of individuals focusing on package maintenance and infrastructure to provide as many packages as possible to the consumers of Enterprise Linux. The EPEL SIG is led by a steering committee.

EPEL

Erlang

The mission of the Erlang SIG is to encourage the packaging of Erlang projects in Fedora.

SIGs/Erlang

FLTG

FLTG (Fedora Language Testing Group) takes care of the Fedora testing activities: take initiative to conduct the Fedora test days, update necessary wiki pages, prepare test cases, get things coordinated and organized for the testers.

Métodos Formais

"Formal methods" are techniques that use mathematics to prove that models of software, hardware, or systems will or will not have certain behaviors. To be practical, they must be automated using tools. The goal of the Formal Methods SIG is to make it easy to install formal methods tools in Fedora, ease learning how to apply them, encourage the development of "open proofs" (where an implementation, proofs, and required tools are all FLOSS), and to provide feedback to toolmakers so that the tools in Fedora can become more powerful, more scaleable, and easier to use together.

Package Review

This SIG is currently in its infancy and things are still being organized. The job is to process new package review submissions and review them for quality and adherence to the Packaging Guidelines. As this is the initial experience for many new contributors to the Fedora Project, we also work towards making this procedure as enjoyable as possible. Anyone is welcome to join. Obviously it is necessary for one to already be a packager in order to review packages, but there are many tasks that can be done by anyone, and participation in the SIG is a good path to sponsorship.

Package Review

This is a group devoted to packaging Perl modules and applications for Fedora.

PHP

To assist packagers in bringing PHP-related packages to Fedora and assisting in their continued maintenance by providing timely reviews, acting as secondary package owners and assisting with related security issues.
