Fedora 2028 Strategy.

Find it, use it, change it: Linux accessibility (Fedora Docs, Fedora Linux, release engineering tools).
Be a mentor, have a mentor: Empower a culture of mentoring in Fedora and scale it.
Release stories: Fedora releases should have a story behind changes in each release.
Open collaboration: More partnership with peer communities and upstream projects.

Open Source Values messaging: Freedom, Friends, Features, First

Freedom: We are dedicated to free software and content. (🔗 more)
Friends: We are a strong, caring community. (🔗 more)

First: We are committed to innovation. (🔗 more)

Fedora Linux 39 Changes and talking points

Programming language stacks:
- Golang 1.21: Update of Go (golang package) to the upcoming version 1.21 in Fedora 39.
- Python 3.12: Update the Python stack in Fedora from Python 3.11 to Python 3.12, the newest major release of the Python programming language.
- Perl 5.38: A new perl 5.38 version brings a lot of changes done over a year of development. Perl 5.38 was released on July 3rd 2023.
Package management - Retire Modularity: Fedora will discontinue building modules for Fedora Linux 39 and further in the Fedora infrastructure and shipping modular content to users.
