Fedoras mission och grunder

Hur får jag tag i mjukvaran?

Ladda ner olika utgåvor av Fedora för din bärbar/stationär dator, server, eller behållarapplikationer på Get Fedora, eller utforska andra möjligheter som tillhandahålls av Labs, Spins, ARM, och Alternativa nerladdningar.

Allt som inkluderas är open source (öppen källkod) och fri (libre) mjukvara — inte bara finns den tillgängligt utan kostnad för dig, men du kan dela med dig, remixa och ändra den.

Vad är Fedora?

Fedora Projektet är en gemenskap av människor som arbetar tillsammans för att skapa en fri och öppen mjukvaruplattform och samarbeta samt dela med oss användarfokuserade lösningar byggda på denna plattform. Eller, på vanlig svenska, vi skapar ett operativsystem och förenklar för dig att göra användbara saker med det.

Vad handlar Fedora om?

Fedora gemenskapen inkluderar tusentals individer med olika synsätt och tillvägagångssätt, men tillsammans delar vi några gemensamma värderingar. Vi kallar dessa för “Fyra Grunder”: Frihet, Vänner, Utmärkande egenskaper och Först.

Freedom

Four Foundations: 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:

releases that are predictable and 100% legally redistributable for everyone;
innovation in free and open source software that can equal or exceed closed source or proprietary solutions;
and, a completely free project that anyone can emulate or copy in whole or in part for their own purposes.

Friends _~_~~ Four Foundations: Friends We are a strong, caring community. photo friends 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 _~_~~~ Four Foundations: 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 _~~~ Four Foundations: 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.

Our Vision

The Fedora Project envisions a world where everyone benefits from free and open source software built by inclusive, welcoming, and open-minded communities.

As a project, we want everyone to live in a universe of free and open source software; the user should be in control of their computing. But it’s not enough that the software is there, waiting to be used. It has to be accessible and usable. This vision also reflects our community approach — the Friends foundation. Fedora isn’t bits and bytes. Fedora is our people, and we want the statement to include our vision of a healthy community.

Our Mission

Fedora skapar en innovativ plattform för hårdvara, molnen och behållare som gör det möjligt för mjukvaruutvecklare och gemenskapsmedlemmar att bygga skräddarsydda lösningar för sina användare.

På operativsystemnivån, vi inte bara integrerar mjukvaran. Vi gör nya saker — vi bygger en plattform, inte bara en distribution. Utmärkande egenskaper och Först grunderna driver oss att vara innovativa. Vi gör allt detta som en transparent samarbetande gemenskap av Vänner, och i sin helhet som öppen källkod och fri mjukvara — Frihet.

Vår metod

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.

Vår bestämda uppfattning är mjukvarupatent är skadliga, samt skapar hinder för innovation i utvecklingen av mjukvaror, och är oförenligt med grundvärderingar av fri och öppen källkod mjukvara. Medan snävt integrerande proprietära och patent belastade komponenter kan på ytan förbättra enkelhet av användning, den utövande bidrar ingenting till gemenskapen i långa loppet. Fedora gemenskap föredrar tillvägagångssätt som gynnar fortsatta framsteg i fria mjukvaror för framtiden över de som framhäver kortsiktigt enkel användande.

Vår gemenskap

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.

We believe that all contributors should be excellent to each other. By creating an environment for constructive contribution, we can more effectively and successfully compare and challenge different ideas to find the best solutions for advancement, while building the size, diversity, and strength of our community.

Leadership and Governance

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.
