Goals & messaging

Fedora 2028 Strategy: “Double the number of Fedora contributors active every week.”

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)
  • Features: We care about excellent software. (🔗 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.
  • Apps - LibreOffice 7.6: Update LibreOffice suite to 7.6. At the same time we plan to stop building LibreOffice for i686 architecture.
  • Fun & novel - Color Bash Prompt: Introduce a default colored prompt for Fedora's default shell bash.
  • Spins:
    • Sericea and Sway Spin Xorg-less: At the moment Sericea and Sway Spin ship with xorg-x11 packages. This proposal removed xorg-x11 packages from such artifacts.
    • Fedora Onyx: Creation of an official Fedora immutable variant with a Budgie Desktop environment, complementing Fedora Budgie Spin and expanding the immutable offerings of Fedora.
  • Fonts - FontAwesome 6: Update the FontAwesome package in Fedora to version 6.x, with a compatibility package for packages still needing 4.x.
