Tudo incluído é de código aberto e software livre — não apenas está disponível sem nenhum custo para você, mas você pode compartilhar, remixar e modificar.
O que é o Fedora?
O Projeto Fedora é uma comunidade de pessoas trabalhando juntas para criar uma plataforma de software livre e de código aberto e para colaborar e compartilhar soluções focadas no usuário, construídas nessa plataforma. Ou, em português simples, criamos um sistema operacional e facilitamos para você fazer coisas úteis com ele.
Sobre o que é o Fedora?
The Fedora community includes thousands of individuals with different views and approaches, but together we share some common values. We call these the “Four Foundations”: Freedom, Friends, Features, and First.
Freedom
We are dedicated to free software and content. Advancing software and content freedom is a central community goal, which we accomplish through the software and content we promote. We choose free alternatives to proprietary code and content and limit the effects of proprietary or patent encumbered code on the Project. Sometimes this goal prevents us from taking the easy way out by including proprietary or patent encumbered software in Fedora. But by concentrating on the free software and content we provide and promote, the end result is that we are able to provide:

Friends
We are a strong, caring community.
The Fedora community is made up of people from all walks of life, working together to advance free software. There is a place in Fedora for anyone who wants to help, regardless of technical skill level, as long as they believe in our core values. Like any friends, we occasionally disagree on details, but we believe in finding an acceptable consensus to serve the interests of advancing free software. We believe in a strong partnership between Red Hat and our enormous volunteer community, since they both provide essential contributions that help the Fedora Project succeed. |

Features
We care about excellent software. The Fedora community creates many of the technical features that have made Linux powerful, flexible, and usable for a wide spectrum of millions of users, administrators, and developers worldwide. We recognize the status quo is worth changing to empower additional end-users, or to create a more flexible and powerful environment for building new solutions on the free software we provide. We also believe that these changes are best developed in direct concert with the upstream software communities whose work is part of the Fedora distribution. We work with the upstream in cases where we find opportunities for improvement, so all free software users benefit — even if they don’t use Fedora directly. Our feature development is always done openly and transparently, and anyone may participate. |
First
We are committed to innovation. We are not content to let others do all the heavy lifting on our behalf; we provide the latest in stable and robust, useful, and powerful free software in our Fedora distribution. At any point in time, the latest Fedora platform shows the future direction of the operating system as it is experienced by everyone from the home desktop user to the enterprise business customer. Our rapid release cycle is a major enabling factor in our ability to innovate. We recognize that there is also a place for long-term stability in the Linux ecosystem, and that there are a variety of community-oriented and business-oriented Linux distributions available to serve that need. However, the Fedora Project’s goal of advancing free software dictates that the Fedora Project itself pursue a strategy that preserves the forward momentum of our technical, collateral, and community-building progress. Fedora always aims to provide the future, first. |

Nossa Visão
O Projeto Fedora prevê um mundo em que todos se beneficiem de software livre e de código aberto criado por comunidades inclusivas, acolhedoras e de mente aberta.
Como projeto, queremos que todos vivam em um universo de software livre e de código aberto; o usuário deve estar no controle de sua computação. Mas não basta que o software esteja lá, esperando para ser usado. Tem que ser acessível e utilizável. Essa visão também reflete nossa abordagem comunitária — a fundação Friends. O Fedora não é bits e bytes. O Fedora é nosso povo, e queremos que a declaração inclua nossa visão de uma comunidade saudável.
Nossa Missão
Fedora cria uma plataforma inovadora para hardware, nuvens e contêineres que permite que desenvolvedores de software e membros da comunidade construam soluções personalizadas para seus usuários.
At the operating system level, we don’t just integrate. We do new things — we build a platform, not just a distribution. The Features and First foundations drive us to innovate. We do all of this as a transparent, collaborative community of Friends, and entirely as open source and free software — Freedom.
Nosso Método
The Fedora Project is a center for innovation in free and open source software. In our community, contributors of all kinds come together to advance the ecosystem for the benefit of everyone. The Fedora community contributes everything it builds back to the free and open source world and continues to make advances of significance to the broader community, as evidenced by the regular and rapid incorporation of its features into other Linux distributions. Regardless of which Linux distribution you use, you are relying on code developed within the Fedora Project.
We believe software patents are harmful, a hindrance to innovation in software development, and are inconsistent with the values of free and open source software. While tightly integrating proprietary and patent encumbered components might superficially improve ease of use, this practice does not benefit the community in the long run. The Fedora community prefers approaches that benefit the progress of free software in the future over those that emphasize short term ease of use.
Nossa Comunidade
Fedora is more than just software. It is a community of contributors from around the world, including volunteers and Red Hat employees, who work with each other to advance the interests of the free culture movement. Everyone is invited to join. No matter what your skills are, we have a place for you in our community! We are software engineers, designers and artists, system administrators, web designers, writers, speakers, translators, and more — and we are happy to help you get started.
Acreditamos que todos os colaboradores devem ser excelentes entre si. Ao criar um ambiente para contribuições construtivas, podemos comparar e desafiar de maneira mais eficaz e bem-sucedida diferentes ideias para encontrar as melhores soluções para avançar, enquanto construímos o tamanho, a diversidade e a força de nossa comunidade.
Liderança e Governança
The Fedora Council is responsible for stewardship of the Fedora Project as a whole, and supports the health and growth of the Fedora Community. As in any large project, there are many different levels of responsibility, accountability, and decision-making. As a general rule, we want people working on a Fedora subproject to be make meaningful decisions about their areas of interest and expertise.
