Fedora is primarily sponsored by Red Hat. However the future of Fedora is driven by independent free and open source upstream projects and potential contributors, including yourself. We welcome you to join. Fedora is a integration point for a large number of upstream projects and strives to bring you the best of free and open source software including new innovations about every six months.

The current development schedule for the next release, Fedora 40, is found on the Schedule page. A full list of features under development is found on the FeatureList page.

  1. The Target tracker is a nice to have fixed list of bugs for a release. It is a convenient way to separate them from all the other open bugs.
  2. Issues that affect the critical path stuff (graphics, installer, network) have a lower barrier because fixing them with updates is much more disrupting.
