About Us

The Infrastructure Team consists of dedicated volunteers and professionals who provide servers, tools and utilities for the Fedora Project. We are the people that maintain the servers that run the Fedora Project and create new applications to make development of Fedora a smoother process. We're located all over the globe and communicate primarily by IRC and our mailing list.

IRC

You can find the #fedora-admin channel on freenode . We also hold weekly meetings in #fedora-meeting. See the Meetings page for details.

Mailing list

The mailing list for the Fedora Infrastructure project is: infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org .

Fedora is known for using and creating new technologies, the Infrastructure team often uses these technologies. As such we are always interested in discussing these technologies academically and theoretically.

Note, for scripts and services written especially for Fedora, we have a policy on using the GPLv2+ or LGPLv2+ for everything unless we discuss it and decide there's a need for a different license. Check the Infrastructure Licensing policy for details and answers to frequently asked questions.

Standard Operating Procedures

Working on a ticket and need to remember which commands to run to create a new hosted project? Or notice that a service is down and want to troubleshoot what's wrong with it? The Category:Infrastructure SOPs pages contain instructions on common situations that could crop up and how to go about resolving them.
