Questions for the Fedora Council AMA Session at Flock

Project Discussion
1

Flock 2025 is coming up in just under two weeks and this is the perfect time to start thinking about what questions you want the Fedora Council to answer in the scheduled Fedora Council AMA session.

To help make best use of the time at the AMA session, we’d like to invite the community to generate a list of questions here, ahead of time, so Council members can have time to prepare thoughtful answers to questions with wide appeal.

With that said, here’s what we are inviting the Fedora community to do over the next week or so…

  1. If you have a question you want to ask the Council as part of the AMA session, reply to this topic with your question for the Council. Please try to be thoughtful and scope the question as something the Council members can speak to. Scoping questions is an art not a science, but do your best.

  2. Everyone in the community is invited to check back on this topic and upvote questions they feel are important to answer in the live AMA session with the :bluethumb: reaction.

  3. The Council will select questions from the list of questions to answer live. We can’t promise we will be able to answer every question in the session. But we will make a best effort to follow up on as many questions as we can.

  4. Other community leaders are encouraged to answer questions here in threaded replies to questions. If it’s clear the question is scoped to your area of expertise/concern in the project, you should feel free to provide an answer as part of this discussion. If it’s clear there is a need for a longer discussion and a single reply answer isn’t sufficient you are encouraged to move the discussion to a new topic to continue the discussion.

The Fedora Project is widely known for adopting new technologies early. Latest thing was the anaconda web installer, but the latest with huge impact was the BTRFS by default (DNF5 was great but not as impactul). My question is: What new technologies are possibly coming that could be considered game-changing?

Another questions is how is the plan on drop old tech? I’m very concerned on X11 and the slow rejection on every new change that come from the newest editions.

In the people part of the Fedora Project we are not free of controversies. The latest one involved the technical side not being able to handle a people problem (that’s how I saw it, but I’m sure everyone have their own take on it). but what is being perceived is a lack of updating on existing policies or even creating new policies to handle situations.

Has the Council a plan in how to involve on these kind of issues as they come or Is there a plan on create a team or use an existing one to deal with people problems in technical teams?
