There are many ways to get involved in the community for both Developers and Non-Developers.
There are a wide variety of communication channels available for all Fedora users.
If you have interest in becoming more familiar with the Fedora software, you are welcomed, and encouraged to join the process – Java skills not required!
A great place to get started is by joining either of our two scheduled Tech Calls. Join us at any time to familiarize yourself with current Fedora work, ask questions, and get to know the Tech Team and Committer Team.
Fedora is the reference implementation of the Fedora API Specification. Its development, therefore, is informed by the specification, which in turn is an expression of a number of community defined use cases for a content repository designed for durable access to data.
Each Fedora release is accompanied by a Docker Image, so use cases can be tested and validated easily in a desktop environment.
There is an API Test Suite created to ensure conformance with the Fedora API Specification and, therefore, one means to test the Fedora software, though there are a myriad of ways to test the software.
If you have an interest in the Fedora API Specification and/or resulting software, please join the testing and validation effort. You can leave feedback as a comment on the relevant wiki page, and/or contact the Fedora Product Manager, Arran Griffith or Fedora Developer Dan Field, directly with your feedback.
