Welcome, developers! This is the Fedora Repository Development wiki. Here you'll find information about the development team, resources of interest to Fedora developers, and instructions on how you can work with us and contribute code to the project.
Development Status
Fedora 3.2 was released on May 8th, 2009. See the Release Notes for more information.
Our future plans include:
- Working on high-priority features and bugfixes
- Redesign of Fedora modules using Spring Dynamic Modules.
- Improving Fedora software builds with the help of Maven2
How To Contribute
You don't have to be a committer to contribute code! We have a lot of things to work on, and love to recieve quality contributions. Patches for bugfixes and code cleanup are most appreciated, and are relatively easy to get approved and merged by an existing committer.
You can find a list of unassigned, outstanding items to be worked on in the FCRepo Tracker. You can also report issues that you discover directly to this tracker. Please notify us via the fedora-commons-developers mailing list if you plan on working on an item. When you're ready to submit code, you can attach your changes (vs trunk) to the issue in question.
If you submit code, we'd like to have your formal permission to distribute your contributions! To make this process easy, we can take an emailed copy of your signed CLA. For further instructions, see the Fedora Commons Licenses Page.
After making significant contribution to the codebase, you may be asked to become a committer. Committers are trusted members of the development community who have write access to the code repository and are thus able to make changes more effectively. Please see the Committer's Guide for more information.
