About Fedora Websites

The key goals of this effort include:

  • Trying to consolidate all the key Fedora websites onto one uniform scheme
  • Maintaining the content that doesn't fall under any particular sub-project
  • Generally, making the sites be as fun and exciting as the project they represent

In order to better achieve these goals, as well as to benefit the community, the work of this project will involve third-party site maintainers where possible. The direct work of this project is limited to the formal Fedora site:

fedoraproject.org

Work on specific sections of the sites will be coordinated with the appropriate projects. A great deal of coordination will be necessary with the Fedora Infrastructure Team , Fedora Documentation Project and the Fedora Marketing Project .

For a list of community websites, see the CommunityWebsites page.

Communicating

Mailing List

The mailing list behind this effort is the fedora-websites-list mailing list. All contributors to this effort and interested third-party site maintainers should join this list.

IRC

The #fedora-websites channel on freenode is the best place to go for chat.

Meetings

Details about the regular meetings for the Fedora Websites team can be found on the Meetings page.

Resources

CSS and Images

One can find all CSS files and images used in the Fedora sites on the web. And we encourage the community to use them directly from our urls in a cascading implementation.

This is especially true when working on official fedoraproject.org domains ( things on this list ):

Websites/DomainsList

Fedora CSS in your application

Load the main Fedora CSS file

fedora.css

And then load your custom css file and override elements as needed. Something like:

main or fedora_planet.css

Fedora Images in your application

Images simply need to be loaded via their 'href' attributes' url:

<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/static/images/banners/paulfrieldstv2.png">

results in a een webpage:
