Fedora 的使命和基金会
什么是 Fedora?
Fedora 项目是一个由众多用户组成的社区,他们共同致力于构建一个自由开源的软件平台,并在此平台上协作和分享以用户为中心的解决方案。或者,简单地说,我们开发一个操作系统,并让您能够轻松地使用它来做有用的事情。
Fedora 到底是什么?
Fedora 社区汇聚了成千上万个拥有不同观点和理念的人士,但我们拥有一些共同的价值观。我们称之为“四大基石”:自由、友谊、特性和优先。
FeaturesWe 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. |
FirstWe 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. |
我们的愿景
The Fedora Project envisions a world where everyone benefits from free and open source software built by inclusive, welcoming, and open-minded communities.
作为一个项目,我们希望每个人都生活在一个自由开源软件的世界里;用户应该掌控自己的计算。但仅仅有软件等着被使用是不够的。它必须是可访问且可用的。这一愿景也体现了我们的社区理念——Friends 基金会。Fedora 不只是比特和字节。Fedora 是我们的员工,我们希望这份声明能够体现我们对健康社区的愿景。
我们的使命
Fedora creates an innovative platform for hardware, clouds, and containers that enables software developers and community members to build tailored solutions for their users.
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.
我们的方法
Fedora 项目是自由和开源软件创新的中心。在我们的社区中,各种贡献者齐聚一堂,共同推动生态系统的发展,造福所有人。Fedora 社区将其构建的一切回馈给自由和开源世界,并继续为更广泛的社区做出重大贡献,这一点从其功能定期快速地融入其他 Linux 发行版中可以看出。无论您使用哪种 Linux 发行版,您都依赖于 Fedora 项目内开发的代码。
我们认为软件专利有害,阻碍了软件开发的创新,并且与自由开源软件的价值观相悖。虽然紧密集成专有和受专利约束的组件可能会在表面上提高易用性,但这种做法从长远来看不利于社区发展。Fedora 社区更倾向于有利于自由软件未来发展的做法,而非那些只注重短期易用性的做法。
我们的社区
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.
领导与治理
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 make meaningful decisions about their areas of interest and expertise. More details are available on our page on Fedora Leadership.
