Fedora Infrastructure and Release Engineering

The Fedora Infrastructure team and Release Engineering team are composed of dedicated volunteers and professionals who maintain the servers and services used to build Fedora and enable its community. We’re located all over the globe and communicate primarily by Matrix and e-mail.

There are several different areas of work which fall under the term "Fedora Infrastructure". For details about our team structure, see: Team Structure.

To contact us about work tickets or production issues, see: Working with us.

For all other contact, see: Fedora Infrastructure Overview.

Officers

The team has officers for a number of areas. Please consult with them on matters under their area:

The officers generally decide what needs to be done in the day to day operations of the various Fedora infrastructure facilities. The officers themselves work for the developers and end users but ultimately report to the Fedora Project Council. This basically means that we’ll try to do whatever we can to fill needs and fix things but if we refuse for whatever reason, the final decision can be made by the Fedora Project Council. Such decisions, however, are rare.

Team Structure

"Fedora Infrastructure" is an umbrella term which covers three primary work areas:

  • "Fedora Infrastructure" — the term. (You are here.)

    • "Fedora Infrastructure" — the team

      • "Applications and Web Development" — used to be their own team but now under "Fedora Infrastructure" team.

    • "Release Engineering"

"Fedora Infrastructure" team (Core Infrastructure)

This group runs servers, tends to databases, and generally keeps hardware humming. This is also the primary contact point for any production issues with Fedora applications (Fedocal, FMN, etc).

This team was previously called "Fedora Infrastructure" before everyone became one big happy family, and it’s still called that, so it’s slightly confusing!

To contact this team with a request or questions, see: Working with us.

For information about contributing to this work, see Join the Team for an orientation and instructions, and the Sysadmin Reference for general documentation.

Applications and Websites

Fedora creates and runs many different applications to support our operations and solve our unique problems. In the past, the application developers lived under a separate team but now this is technically all under the core Infrastructure team.

For orientation around our application development practices, see the Application Developer Guide.

Release Engineering (aka "Releng")

This team is responsible for producing new releases of Fedora Linux.
