Overview of Fedora Infrastructure

"Mainers"

The sysadmin-main group has ‘root’ access to nearly everything. They can assist with any request regarding Fedora infrastructure.

People are added to this group after being nominated by an existing member and approved by consensus. This nomination usually takes place after the person has been around in the community for some time doing good work in general and also have completed some larger project in Fedora infrastructure showing that they can manage a complex deployment. They have proven their dedication, trustworthiness, and ability.

Communicating

The Infrastructure Team coordinates their activities using a variety of tools. Our primary methods of communication are weekly matrix meetings, the Matrix room #admin:fedoraproject.org and the discussion.fedoraproject.org with the #infrastructure-team tag.

Application development efforts take place in the #apps:fedoraproject.org Matrix room, and system administration related efforts take place in the #noc:fedoraproject.org Matrix channel.

Meetings

We also hold weekly meetings in #meeting:fedoraproject.org each Thursday at USA Pacific Time. You can run this shell snippet to convert to your local time:

pdx2local() {
    local PDX_TIME="${1:-now}"
    local EPOCH=$(TZ=America/Los_Angeles date -d "$PDX_TIME" +%s)
    date -d @$EPOCH +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z"
}

pdx2local now
pdx2local "September 23, 2025 08:00"

See the meetings page for details and historical archives.

Mailing list

The mailing list of the Fedora Infrastructure Project is: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org/

The archives are available at: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org/

We are in the process of moving much of the discussion that used to take place there over to discussion.fedoraproject.org with the #infrastructure-team tag.
