Fedora social media accounts
Social media connects Fedora developers, users, friends, and enthusiasts around the world. This is also one strategy to share Fedora announcements, community news, and other updates. All known accounts are documented below, curated by a best-effort volunteering community.
Official accounts
Maintained by Marketing and/or Social Media Teams. Anyone with access to Official Accounts should be members of the fedora-socialmedia FAS group. If you believe you should be in the group, contact a group sponsor.
Official accounts are designated official due to their connection to the Fedora Trademark. |

Community-managed accounts
Fedora Community-Managed Accounts are related to the Fedora Project, but not officially maintained by the Fedora Marketing Team or Social Media administrators. Often, these accounts are specific to a region or country. These pages are typically run by an individual contributor or a group of contributors. However, these accounts are not officially endorsed by the Fedora Project or Red Hat Inc. They are listed here to promote easier discoverability of places where Fedora contributors and users gather online.

Account security
Most official social media accounts are managed by each administrator’s personal account on that network, like for Facebook or Google+. In cases like LinkedIn, access is granted to individual accounts. However, single passwords still exist for most of these accounts. The passwords are securely stored within Fedora’s infrastructure, along with private assets used by the Infrastructure team. As of October 2016, User:Puiterwijk[Patrick Uiterwijk] manages password storage and security.
