(Redirected from SIGs/ISV Welcome)
The ISV SIG (Special Interest Group) is a group that helps Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) with answers about Fedora. Need help getting your software into Fedora? Have questions about your software license and compatibility with Fedora standards? The ISV SIG can help.
Here is where and how to get started.
Personal Information
Fedora is a very visible and transparent project, which means that its mailing lists are archived and mirrored in many places on the internet outside of our control. Please use caution when sharing personal information with Fedora on a mailing list, because it is not possible for us to remove any postings from the wider Internet universe after they are sent. For more details, please refer to Fedora's Privacy Policy.
