Fedora Project Podcast

Show Notes

As we look ahead to 2025, the Fedora Podcast dives into the exciting developments and changes on the horizon for the Fedora Project. We'll discuss what to expect with Fedora Linux 42 and 43, reflect on the evolution of the project, and explore the upcoming leadership transition as the Fedora Project Leader steps down. Join us for an engaging conversation about Fedora's future, its community, and the innovations that await in the new year.

The Fedora Podcast features interviews and talks with the people who make the Fedora community awesome! These folks work on new technologies found in Fedora, produce the distro itself, or help put Fedora into the hands of users. There is so much going on in Fedora that it takes a whole podcast series!
