The Fedora Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are teams within the Fedora Project that are less formal than official subprojects. They are sometimes a first stage in the development of new projects within Fedorat.
Creating a SIG
A SIG is a lightweight structure with very little red tape. If you're interested in forming one, please visit Creating a Fedora SIG.
Introduction to existing SIGs
# – B
3D Printing
The 3D Printing SIG's goal is to make Fedora the best platform for 3D printing.
Ada
Maintainers of Ada packages in Fedora are strongly encouraged to subscribe to the Fedora Ada mailing list. Anyone else who stay informed about the topic is also welcome to subscribe.
Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
The Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) SIG is a coordination point for people and groups working to improve the tooling for such pursuits in Fedora. Anyone interested is welcome to join us on Matrix or Discourse.
Alternative Architectures
The purpose of the Alternative Architecture family of SIGs is to promote Fedora on a wider array of computer hardware implementations.
Currently there are active teams for:
The following teams are looking for members:
No longer active architectures are:
Amateur Radio
The goal of the Amateur Radio group is to improve the Fedora collection by adding packages that are useful for amateur radio (a/k/a "Ham radio") operators and shortwave listeners (SWLs).
Asahi
The goal of the Asahi SIG is to help the folks working on support for ARM-based Apple Macintosh computers (otherwise known as "Apple Silicon" Macs) and to produces a Fedora installation image for those that want to run Linux on Apple Silicon devices.
Astronomy
The Fedora Astronomy group seeks to gather people interested in improving support for astronomers and astrophysicists.
Atomic Desktops
The Atomic Desktops SIG coordinates efforts related to all Atomic Desktop (rpm-ostree based) variants of Fedora: Silverblue, Kinoite, Sway (formerly Sericea) and Budgie (formerly Onyx).
Big Data
The Big Data SIG, in grand Fedora style, aims to make Fedora the best platform for all things related to extremely large and diverse collections of structured, unstructured and semi-structured data that grow exponentially over time.
BIOS Boot
The goal of the BIOS Boot SIG is to help those working on Fedora's bootloader stack to keep Fedora booting on systems which require Legacy BIOS to boot or have a need to employ the UEFI Compatibility Support Module (CSM). To help with this, the SIG members will regularly test that Fedora Rawhide images still boot on Legacy BIOS systems and assist with triaging and fixing Legacy BIOS boot bugs.
Budgie
The Budgie SIG's mission is to maintain the Budgie desktop environment experience and its Spin in the Fedora Project. The group is lead by Joshua Strobl, the founder of the Buddies of Budgie organization that coordinates the project's development.
Bug Triage
Fedora Bug Triage attempts to manage the flow of bug reports filed against the myriad of Fedora projects. They stand to prevent the other project members from being overwhelmed by bug reports by resolving trivial submissions, removing or correcting flawed or inadequate reports, and making sure that maintainers are able to get things done.
C – E
Cloud
The Cloud SIG works to make Fedora successful on all major cloud platforms, public and private.
Confined Users
The Confined Users SIG works to coordinate efforts related to different means of confining users and their accounts (i.e. achieving secure process, data and account isolation and protection, and mitigating privilege escalation), and also to bring beginners and intermediate users with an interest in computer security together with developers and experts and engage them in contributing to the testing efforts. This can often be time-intensive but also does not require as much long-term experience as many expect. A willingness to contribute to simple usability testing, requiring only to identify and report issues and unintended behavior, often makes a large impact. Admittedly, however, the core focus on achieving confinement tends to involve sophisticated testing conducted by more experienced users (and those who want to become experienced).
Container
The Container SIG's mission is to maintain, grow, guide and promote best practices for the development and release of operating system-level virtualization containers and their image ecosystems.
Continuous Integration
The goal of the Continuous Integration (CI) SIG is to bring together enthusiasts interested in developing tools, best practices, standards, and workflows to implement Continuous Integration in Fedora at a larger scale. While the practice is well-known and used by many software projects, it is usually applied at an individual component level. Scaling it up is a challenge from both technical and organizational points of view, and this SIG feels they have an opportunity within Fedora to explore and develop the CI/CD topic beyond simple pull-request testing.
CoreOS
The CoreOS Working Group champions the CoreOS Edition of Fedora as the most credible solution available today for container workflows.
COSMIC
The COSMIC SIG aims to prepare for and promote the upcoming COSMIC Desktop environment, developed by System76.
Data Engineering
The Data Engineering SIG seeks to make Fedora and CentOS pleasant platforms for building systems for the collection and usage of data.
Deepin
The Deepin Desktop Environment SIG's mission is to define a high-quality Deepin DE experience to Fedora users and developers. They are just getting started, and in need of members who will push and maintain the Deepin packages in Fedora.
Design
The Design SIG aims to provide the latest free and open source tools for visual designers, especially Fedora's own Design Suite.
Desktop
The Desktop SIG strives to make Fedora a very good desktop distribution. The goal is to produce a more targeted desktop spin while maintaining traditional Fedora strengths such as security and commitment to free software. They work on developing and releasing the Fedora Desktop Live CD.
DNS
The DNS SIG attempts to improve name resolution implementations available on Fedora. The goal is to have fully-featured and privacy enabled name resolution, while still working on all common networks, for servers as well as workstations.
DotNet
The DotNet SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain .NET (and related) packages in Fedora. The goal of this group is to help to anyone interested in .NET and support others in creating and maintaining those packages. Anyone interested in C#/.NET is welcome!
eBPF
The goal of the extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) SIG is to help the folks working on eBPF development and adoption, and evangelize and promote its usage in a community within Fedora.
Education
The mission of the Education SIG (Edu SIG) is to optimize Fedora for use by teachers and learners, both inside and out of the context of educational institutions. They do this by building, maintaining and evangelizing a strong ecosystem of educational packages within Fedora, and by supporting learners in using these packages as tools to reach their learning goals.
Enterprise Linux Next
The Enterprise Linux Next (ELN) SIG maintains the buildroot and compose tools that aim to make possible the emergence of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)-like environment, using only the standard Fedora package sources. The hope is that both distributions will benefit from the integration, as Fedora users will gain access to a professional-style Linux environment and Red Hat will be better positioned to evaluate what impacts new software releases may have on their customers.
EPEL
EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) is targeted at filling the gap between the complete Fedora Collection and the packages that are maintained in Enterprise Linux. The EPEL SIG is a community of individuals (led by a steering committee) that focuses on package maintenance and infrastructure to provide as many packages as possible to the consumers of Enterprise Linux.
Erlang
The mission of the Erlang SIG is to encourage the packaging of Erlang and Elixir projects in Fedora.
Extended Reality
The XR SIG's goal is to enable extended reality (XR)—an umbrella term that encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR)—capabilities in Fedora. This includes integrating runtime environments, emerging desktop environments and development tools into the Fedora package archives, along with upstream collaboration and gaming.
F – K
Finance
The Finance SIG works across the Fedora Project to ensure that all contributors and groups have the financial resources that they need. They coordinate processes, manage budgets and strive to push financial authority and accountability as close to the margin as possible while ensuring accurate and transparent accounting.
Flatpak
The Flatpak SIG is for people who are interested in improving the state of Flatpak packaging in Fedora. This includes maintaining existing Fedora Flatpaks, maintaining the Fedora Flatpak runtime and improving the documentation and overall packager experience when working with Flatpaks on Fedora.
Fonts
The Fonts SIG is an informal group of Fedora Linux contributors dedicated to improving fonts availability and text rendering/layouting in the distribution and its other Linux derivatives. They stay very busy tackling the tasks seen below, among others:
- Finding the best fonts to include in Fedora, looking to the needs of artists, translators, publishers and more
- Identifying new fonts and font creation tools that need packaging, and reviewing new packages before they enter the repository
- Creating and improving Fedora fonts
- Proposing robust defaults for each locale and then documenting them once adopted
- Improving the ways fonts supports various scripts and fixing font and text problems in existing applications and libraries, by identifying problems and proposing ameliorations
- Convincing typeface foundries to release fonts under free/libre Fedora-friendly licenses, and
- Coordinating with other similar groups within other organizations to advance common goals
Formal Methods
"Formal methods" are techniques that use mathematics to prove that models of software, hardware, and other systems will or will not have certain behaviors. To be practical, they must use automated tooling. The goal of the Formal Methods SIG is to make it easy to install formal methods tools in Fedora, ease learning how to apply them, encourage the development of "open proofs" (where implementations, proofs and the required tools are all FLOSS), and provide feedback to toolmakers so that the tools in Fedora can become more powerful, scale better and are easier to use together.
Games
The goal of the Games SIG is to make Fedora the best free and open source gaming platform available for both developers and users.
Geographic Information Systems
The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) SIG is an initiative aimed to package GIS technology-related open source software in Fedora/EPEL, and turn Fedora/EPEL into the best choice for a GIS platform.
Go
The goal of the Go SIG is to bring together all people that are interested in the Go programming language, be they packagers, developers or users, and working together to improve the overall experience of using Go on Fedora.
GraphQL
The GraphQL SIG's mission is to maintain, grow, guide and promote best practices for the development of applications using GraphQL within our infrastructure.
Haskell
The mission of the Haskell SIG is to maintain, grow, and guide the packaging of Haskell projects in Fedora.
Heterogeneous Computing
The goal of the Heterogeneous Computing (HC) SIG is to encourage the packaging and accessibility of heterogeneous computing projects in Fedora and EPEL. This includes machine learning, OpenCL and scientific computing. AMD's ROCm software stack is a perfect example of the kind of projects we love to champion.
Independent Software Vendor
The Independent Software Vendor (ISV) can be anything from a one- or two-man shop to a software design and development powerhouse. Fedora is a great platform for showing off your product, especially to community developers who might be interested in contributing code, plugins, or feedback.
i3
i3 is a tiling window manager for X11. The goal of the Fedora i3 SIG is to produce a Fedora i3-based Fedora Spin. They can be found on Pagure.io, Telegram and IRC.
Internet of Things

OpenStack
This SIG is for people interested in maintaining the packages for OpenStack clients in Fedora, the associated Oslo libraries, and their dependencies. They coordinate with the RDO Project (RPM Distribution [of] OpenStack) to sync packaging and collaborate with upstream developers to provide high-quality packages.
P – R
Package Review
This SIG is currently in its infancy, and things are still being organized. The job is to process new package review submissions and evaluate them for quality and adherence to the Fedora Packaging Guidelines. As this is the initial experience for many new contributors to the Fedora Project, we also work towards making this procedure as smooth and rewarding as possible.
Anyone is welcome to join; obviously it is necessary for one to already be a packager in order to issue the ultimate review for new packages, but there are many tasks along the way that can be done by anyone and participation in the SIG is a good path to securing sponsorship for eventually becoming a member.
