=== Package Review ===
==== '''[[:Category:Multimedia SIG|Multimedia]]''' ====
The purpose of the Multimedia SIG is to provide the best possible multimedia experience for Fedora users, out of the box. They aim to share the burden of maintenance for multimedia-related packages, coordinate interdependent updates and rebuilds, and also provide a pool of experienced reviewers in the area of multimedia.


This SIG is currently in its infancy and things are still being organized.
==== '''[[SIGs/Music & Audio|Music & Audio]]''' ====
The job is to process new package review submissions and review them for quality and adherence to the Packaging Guidelines. As this is the initial experience for many new contributors to the Fedora Project, we also work towards making this procedure as enjoyable as possible.
It should be easy and enjoyable to make music and work with audio on Fedora, and the Music & Audio SIG is one of the prime reasons that it is.
Anyone is welcome to join. Obviously it is necessary for one to already be a packager in order to review packages, but there are many tasks that can be done by anyone, and participation in the SIG is a good path to sponsorship.

Latest revision as of 12:07, 31 August 2024

The Fedora Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are teams within the Fedora Project that are less formal than official subprojects. They are sometimes a first stage in the development of new projects within Fedorat.

Creating a SIG

A SIG is a lightweight structure with very little red tape. If you're interested in forming one, please visit Creating a Fedora SIG.

Introduction to existing SIGs

# – B

3D Printing

The 3D Printing SIG's goal is to make Fedora the best platform for 3D printing.

Ada

Maintainers of Ada packages in Fedora are strongly encouraged to subscribe to the Fedora Ada mailing list. Anyone else who stay informed about the topic is also welcome to subscribe.

Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning

The Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) SIG is a coordination point for people and groups working to improve the tooling for such pursuits in Fedora. Anyone interested is welcome to join us on Matrix or Discourse.

Alternative Architectures

The purpose of the Alternative Architecture family of SIGs is to promote Fedora on a wider array of computer hardware implementations.

Currently there are active teams for:

The following teams are looking for members:

  • RISC-V (Note: This architecture is now promoted by its own SIG.)
  • X86_32

No longer active architectures are:

Amateur Radio

The goal of the Amateur Radio group is to improve the Fedora collection by adding packages that are useful for amateur radio (a/k/a "Ham radio") operators and shortwave listeners (SWLs).

Asahi

The goal of the Asahi SIG is to help the folks working on support for ARM-based Apple Macintosh computers (otherwise known as "Apple Silicon" Macs) and to produces a Fedora installation image for those that want to run Linux on Apple Silicon devices.

Astronomy

The Fedora Astronomy group seeks to gather people interested in improving support for astronomers and astrophysicists.

Atomic Desktops

The Atomic Desktops SIG coordinates efforts related to all Atomic Desktop (rpm-ostree based) variants of Fedora: Silverblue, Kinoite, Sway (formerly Sericea) and Budgie (formerly Onyx).

Big Data

The Big Data SIG, in grand Fedora style, aims to make Fedora the best platform for all things related to extremely large and diverse collections of structured, unstructured and semi-structured data that grow exponentially over time.

BIOS Boot

The goal of the BIOS Boot SIG is to help those working on Fedora's bootloader stack to keep Fedora booting on systems which require Legacy BIOS to boot or have a need to employ the UEFI Compatibility Support Module (CSM). To help with this, the SIG members will regularly test that Fedora Rawhide images still boot on Legacy BIOS systems and assist with triaging and fixing Legacy BIOS boot bugs.

Budgie

The Budgie SIG's mission is to maintain the Budgie desktop environment experience and its Spin in the Fedora Project. The group is lead by Joshua Strobl, the founder of the Buddies of Budgie organization that coordinates the project's development.

Bug Triage

The Fedora Cloud Special Interest Group
The Fedora Cloud Special Interest Group

Fedora Bug Triage attempts to manage the flow of bug reports filed against the myriad of Fedora projects. They stand to prevent the other project members from being overwhelmed by bug reports by resolving trivial submissions, removing or correcting flawed or inadequate reports, and making sure that maintainers are able to get things done.

C – E

Cloud

The Cloud SIG works to make Fedora successful on all major cloud platforms, public and private.

Confined Users

The Confined Users SIG works to coordinate efforts related to different means of confining users and their accounts (i.e. achieving secure process, data and account isolation and protection, and mitigating privilege escalation), and also to bring beginners and intermediate users with an interest in computer security together with developers and experts and engage them in contributing to the testing efforts. This can often be time-intensive but also does not require as much long-term experience as many expect. A willingness to contribute to simple usability testing, requiring only to identify and report issues and unintended behavior, often makes a large impact. Admittedly, however, the core focus on achieving confinement tends to involve sophisticated testing conducted by more experienced users (and those who want to become experienced).

Container

The Container SIG's mission is to maintain, grow, guide and promote best practices for the development and release of operating system-level virtualization containers and their image ecosystems.

Continuous Integration

The goal of the Continuous Integration (CI) SIG is to bring together enthusiasts interested in developing tools, best practices, standards, and workflows to implement Continuous Integration in Fedora at a larger scale. While the practice is well-known and used by many software projects, it is usually applied at an individual component level. Scaling it up is a challenge from both technical and organizational points of view, and this SIG feels they have an opportunity within Fedora to explore and develop the CI/CD topic beyond simple pull-request testing.

Fedora CoreOS logo
Fedora CoreOS logo

CoreOS

The CoreOS Working Group champions the CoreOS Edition of Fedora as the most credible solution available today for container workflows.

COSMIC

The COSMIC SIG aims to prepare for and promote the upcoming COSMIC Desktop environment, developed by System76.

Data Engineering

The Data Engineering SIG seeks to make Fedora and CentOS pleasant platforms for building systems for the collection and usage of data.

Deepin

The Deepin Desktop Environment SIG's mission is to define a high-quality Deepin DE experience to Fedora users and developers. They are just getting started, and in need of members who will push and maintain the Deepin packages in Fedora.

Design

The Design SIG aims to provide the latest free and open source tools for visual designers, especially Fedora's own Design Suite.

Desktop

The Desktop SIG strives to make Fedora a very good desktop distribution. The goal is to produce a more targeted desktop spin while maintaining traditional Fedora strengths such as security and commitment to free software. They work on developing and releasing the Fedora Desktop Live CD.

DNS

The DNS SIG attempts to improve name resolution implementations available on Fedora. The goal is to have fully-featured and privacy enabled name resolution, while still working on all common networks, for servers as well as workstations.

DotNet

The DotNet SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain .NET (and related) packages in Fedora. The goal of this group is to help to anyone interested in .NET and support others in creating and maintaining those packages. Anyone interested in C#/.NET is welcome!

extended Berkeley Packet Filter logo
extended Berkeley Packet Filter logo

eBPF

The goal of the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) SIG is to help the folks working on eBPF development and adoption, and evangelize and promote its usage in a community within Fedora.

Education

The mission of the Education SIG (Edu SIG) is to optimize Fedora for use by teachers and learners, both inside and out of the context of educational institutions. They do this by building, maintaining and evangelizing a strong ecosystem of educational packages within Fedora, and by supporting learners in using these packages as tools to reach their learning goals.

Enterprise Linux Next

The Enterprise Linux Next (ELN) SIG maintains the buildroot and compose tools that aim to make possible the emergence of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)-like environment, using only the standard Fedora package sources. The hope is that both distributions will benefit from the integration, as Fedora users will gain access to a professional-style Linux environment and Red Hat will be better positioned to evaluate what impacts new software releases may have on their customers.

EPEL

EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is targeted at filling the gap between the complete Fedora Collection and the packages that are maintained in Enterprise Linux. The EPEL SIG is a community of individuals (led by a steering committee) that focuses on package maintenance and infrastructure to provide as many packages as possible to the consumers of Enterprise Linux.

Erlang

The mission of the Erlang SIG is to encourage the packaging of Erlang and Elixir projects in Fedora.

Extended Reality

The XR SIG's goal is to enable extended reality (XR)—an umbrella term that encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR)—capabilities in Fedora. This includes integrating runtime environments, emerging desktop environments and development tools into the Fedora package archives, along with upstream collaboration and gaming.

F – K

Finance

The Finance SIG works across the Fedora Project to ensure that all contributors and groups have the financial resources that they need. They coordinate processes, manage budgets and strive to push financial authority and accountability as close to the margin as possible while ensuring accurate and transparent accounting.

Fedora Flatpak SIG logo
Fedora Flatpak SIG logo

Flatpak

The Flatpak SIG is for people who are interested in improving the state of Flatpak packaging in Fedora. This includes maintaining existing Fedora Flatpaks, maintaining the Fedora Flatpak runtime and improving the documentation and overall packager experience when working with Flatpaks on Fedora.

Fonts

The Fedora Fonts Special Interest Group
The Fedora Fonts Special Interest Group

The Fonts SIG is an informal group of Fedora Linux contributors dedicated to improving fonts availability and text rendering/layouting in the distribution and its other Linux derivatives. They stay very busy tackling the tasks seen below, among others:

Formal Methods

"Formal methods" are techniques that use mathematics to prove that models of software, hardware, and other systems will or will not have certain behaviors. To be practical, they must use automated tooling. The goal of the Formal Methods SIG is to make it easy to install formal methods tools in Fedora, ease learning how to apply them, encourage the development of "open proofs" (where implementations, proofs and the required tools are all FLOSS), and provide feedback to toolmakers so that the tools in Fedora can become more powerful, scale better and are easier to use together.

Games

The goal of the Games SIG is to make Fedora the best free and open source gaming platform available for both developers and users.

Geographic Information Systems

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) SIG is an initiative aimed to package GIS technology-related open source software in Fedora/EPEL, and turn Fedora/EPEL into the best choice for a GIS platform.

Go
