| Fedora Next | Marcel Ribeiro Dantas and Amador Pahim | Some decisions and a lot of discussions have happened since the initial Fedora Next talk at Flock 2013.

Things are not much different for end users, and the lack of understanding may be even worse. The talk will show an overview of the proposal and what has been discussed so far in order to decide the post-F20 era in Fedora. |
