Fedora Sets Development Strategy Through 2028

Matthew Miller (Matthew Miller), the leader of the Fedora project, published the development strategy for the next three years. The strategy outlines the key areas of focus for the project:

  • Improving accessibility for people with disabilities by enhancing documentation and tools for application and package assembly.
  • Enhancing community stability through mentoring programs and new collaboration tools like Forgejo.
  • Streamlining the distribution editorial process, including marketing articles, simplifying assembly creation, and refactoring special interest groups.
  • Expanding pre-installation options for Fedora and supporting hardware vendors, local communities, cloud providers, and continuous integration systems.
  • Embracing technical innovation with a focus on containers, the Flatpak framework, atomic editions of desktop environments, programming language ecosystems, and artificial intelligence.
  • Building relationships with related ecosystems like RHEL and CentOS, supporting derivative projects, and engaging with upstream projects.

Over the next few months, four key initiatives will be launched:

  • Ensuring accessible releases by blocking problematic releases that impact people with disabilities.
  • Implementing gitops workflow for package improvements.
  • Migrating to the Forgejo platform for joint development.
  • Providing tools for developing machine learning systems.

Following the initial initiatives, the following actions will be taken:

  • Archiving Bugzilla content as Red Hat transitions away from Bugzilla and moves to Forgejo for error tracking.
  • Moving discussions from mailing lists to Discourse forums as the primary discussion platform.
  • Transitioning to Konflux for container assembly instead of koji.
  • Enhancing marketing information for new distribution releases.
  • Expanding the fedora Ready initiative.
