Fedora is evolving its community leadership structure to better support its ongoing growth. The Red Hat Open Source & AI Program Office is splitting the current Fedora Community Architect role into two focused positions. Shaun McCance will step into the role of Fedora Community Architect, taking over key responsibilities like Fedora Council representation and financial stewardship, while Justin Wheeler transitions to a new focus on AI Alignment.
A Fedora community intern shares a firsthand look at Flock 2026 in Prague. The annual Fedora contributor conference broke sponsorship records and strengthened community bonds. Attendees praised the invaluable hallway conversations that unite the globally distributed project. Discover the behind-the-scenes planning, post-event survey results, and what makes this gathering feel like a family reunion for Fedora contributors.
If you’ve ever needed to install Fedora Linux on a headless server, a Raspberry Pi, or any machine without a monitor attached, you’ve probably reached for VNC or RDP. They work – but as the installer moves to a web-based interface, there’s a new opportunity to do something more native to that model. We’re building […]
At the Flock 2026 Birds of a Feather session, poetically named FFFwF (or, for us lazy people, Forging Fedora’s Future with Forgejo), we discussed the current state of our migration effort to the new forge. I asked the obligatory question: Who still has things on pagure.io?! A few brave contributors raised their hands, some with […]
AI coding agents such as Claude code or Codex get more capable every month. This is great for productivity, but approving all commands gets annoying really quickly. On the other hand, allowing agents to run any command on your work machine is not a great idea. They are really good at exploring your production cluster […]
Flock to Fedora is more than a conference – it’s where the Fedora community comes alive. As part of the In the CommitHistory campaign, we sat down with confirmed Flock 2026 speakers to hear their stories: what brought them to Fedora, what Flock means to them personally, and what they’re hoping for in Prague this […]
UEFI Secure Boot keys, used to sign the first stage boot loader, are expiring in June 2026 (this month!) But that only means that Microsoft can no longer sign with them. Machines, both bare metal and virtual, will continue to boot long after June is over as long as the current public keys are not […]

Petr Boy came to Fedora documentation the way many contributors do, by seeing a gap and deciding to fill it. As a researcher, writing is his daily work. When he looked at how he could meaningfully contribute to Fedora, documentation was the obvious answer. He started with Fedora Core 1, stepped away, and returned in […]

Yes, the Fedora 43 upgrade brought an interesting revelation for all Outlook users—one that Microsoft is unlikely to be thrilled about. Outlook was not encrypting email connections, even though SSL/TLS was clearly enabled in the account settings. It looks like, that bug dates back to at least Outlook 2007, which is the oldest Outlook version […]
Valentin Rothberg’s journey into container-native Linux didn’t start with a grand plan – it started with the work. After over 8 years at Red Hat contributing to projects like Podman and bootable containers, Fedora felt like the natural home for his next chapter. In Summer 2025 he began working on Project Hummingbird, which builds directly […]
