The Fedora Project is a global partnership of free software community members. The Fedora Project is sponsored by Red Hat, which invests in our infrastructure and resources to encourage collaboration and incubate innovative new technologies. Some of these technologies may later be integrated into Red Hat products. They are developed in Fedora and produced under an open source license from inception so other free software communities and projects are free to study, adopt, and modify them.

Read an overview to find out what makes Fedora unique, and learn about the foundations upon which the project is built.

About the Distribution and Software

The Fedora 40 release summary covers our most recent release.

The Release Schedule gives a timeline of the next release, Fedora 41. The Feature List documents the features planned for Fedora 41.

We have a large community full of talented and energetic people who enjoy meeting new contributors and helping them learn how to participate in Fedora. The list below provides links to each team and subproject -- use it to visit a team that interests you. On the team page you can find out how to contact other community members and get involved in the Fedora community.
