Fedora Websites & Apps

Welcome to the official documentation for the Fedora Websites & Apps Team.

About our team

Our websites being our representation to the wider community of users and contributors over the internet, the team works on designing, developing and maintaining these user-friendly interfaces. The community-led team consists of voluntary contributors from around the world and are involved loosely in the following activities.

Consolidate key Fedora Project websites into a single uniform scheme

In terms of design (look/feel and UI/UX), engineering (tech stack and implementation) and operation (navigation and content), the team attempts to maintain the websites as consistently as possible.

Develop frontend and backend components of Fedora’s web applications

With the use of frontend tools (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the related frameworks) and backend tools (Python, Ansible, JavaScript and the related frameworks), the team develops the web applications.

Making websites as fun and exciting as the project they represent

A book might not be judged by its cover but a project is likely to be judged by the website it is represented by. The team ensures that the websites precisely represent the project’s details and offerings.

Help maintain content that doesn’t fall under any particular subproject

The team works on maintaining the content on certain online elements are very generic in nature, like documentation, community wiki, event banners which do not fit in a certain subteam or SIG.

Websites & Apps Community Revamp Objective

The team was rebooted in 2021 as a part of the Websites & Apps Community Revamp Objective. With the onset of this council objective, the team has been growing ever since with developers, designers and project managers having a wide range of skills and interests. Please refer to [this] documentation to learn more about the council objective’s purpose and functions.

Our collaborations

In order to work in a community with as many diverse projects and stakeholders as the Fedora Project, the team aims to communicate and collaborate regularly with different community members from various subprojects, SIGs and workgroups within Fedora. The activities on specific websites and applications are coordinated by the relevant points of contacts.

Here is a list of our active collaborators:

Our subteams

The team is further assisted with three subteams that are distinct in function but integrated in purpose.

Fedora Websites Revamp Stakeholder Team

The subteam consists of folks from the design team and various other subprojects, SIGs and workgroups where they come up with mockups for the offerings websites, review them and improve upon them continually.

Fedora Websites Engineering Team

The subteam looks into the technical side of things - helping with developing and maintaining the websites in the state that they are in for now, assisting with the issue tickets and onboarding/mentoring contributors.

The subteam looks into the cohesion of the aforementioned two teams - introspecting the current state of the teams, ensure contributors feel rewarded and that the objective outcomes are met.
