Fedora Astronomy SIG

The Astronomy Special Interest Group aims to work on improving usability of Fedora and Fedora EPEL for astronomers and astrophysicists. Our goal is to ship complete astronomy tooling based on freely available software.

Users

If you intend to use Fedora and are wondering what's available for you, take a look at the list of available packages. All of them can be easily installed via the usual mechanisms.

If you have questions or want to connect with other users, feel free to join the community on the mailing list.

Contributors

Packaging

The most straightforward way to contribute is to package your favourite piece of software. Take a look at what has been done and what has not:

• Packages already in Fedora
• Refused packages
• Proposed packages

Projects

Our sincere thanks goes to the Fedora Infrastructure team for setting us up with our own project space on Pagure.io. (Link to an archive of the Trac (Subversion) instance it replaced.)
