The Fedora Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are teams within the Fedora Project that are less formal than official subprojects. The SIGs are sometimes a first stage in the development of new projects within the Fedora Project.
Creating a SIG
A SIG is a lightweight structure with very little red tape. If you're interested in forming one, see Creating a Fedora SIG.
Introduction to some SIGs
Ada
Maintainers of Ada packages in Fedora are strongly encouraged to subscribe to the Fedora Ada mailing list. Anyone else who is interested is also welcome to subscribe.
AI/ML
The AI/ML SIG is a coordination point for people and groups working to improve AI/ML tooling in Fedora. Anyone interested is welcome to join us on Matrix or Discourse.
Alternate Architectures
The purpose of the Alternate Architecture SIGs is to promote fedora on different architectures.
Currently there are active teams for:
The following teams are looking for members:
No longer active architectures are:
Amateur Radio
Goal of Amateur Radio group is to improve the Fedora collection by adding packages for amateur radio (Ham Radio) operators and SWLs.
Asahi
The goal of this SIG is to help the folks working on support for ARM-based Apple Macintosh computers (otherwise known as "Apple Silicon Macs"). And to produces an image for those that want to run Linux on Apple Silicon devices.
Astronomy
Goal of Fedora Astronomy group is to gather people interested to improve support for astronomers and astrophysicists.
As of 2020, the Atomic SIG is dormant and has been for some time. The content of this page and others related to Atomic are preserved for historical reference and because some of the content is still useful and relevant, but the group is not active or holding meetings. Fedora CoreOS is the replacement for Atomic. Fedora Silverblue is the replacement for Atomic Workstation.
Atomic
The Fedora Atomic Working Group works to bring integrate new OS technology and tools from Project Atomic into Fedora.
Audio Creation
Our goal is to make Fedora the best free/open-source platform for computer-based music production, audio mastering, and audio editing.
Big Data
The Big Data SIG, in grand Fedora style, aims to make Fedora the best platform for all things related to Big Data.
Bug Triage
Fedora Bug Triage attempts to manage the flow of bug reports filed against other Fedora projects. They stand to prevent the other project members being overwhelmed by bug reports, eliminating trivial bugs, removing or correcting flawed or inadequate reports, and making sure that maintainers are able to get things done.
Continuous Integration
The Fedora Continuous Integration SIG develops test automation system for Fedora. As well as tools and workflows for generic Continuous Integration.
Cloud
The Fedora Cloud SIG works to make Fedora successful on all major cloud platforms, public and private.
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. The Desktop SIG will develop and release 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. Both on servers and workstations.
DotNet
The DotNet SIG is a group of Fedora contributors that maintain dotnet (and related) packages in Fedora. The goal of this group is to help to anyone interested in dotnet and to support others in creating and maintaining dotnet packages. Anyone interested in C# / dotnet is welcome!
Education
The mission of the Fedora Education SIG (Edu SIG) is to optimize Fedora for use by teachers and learners, both within and outside of the context of educational institutions.
We 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 curricular goals.
ELN (Enterprise Linux Next)
The ELN SIG maintains ELN buildroot and compose
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. We are a community of individuals focusing on package maintenance and infrastructure to provide as many packages as possible to the consumers of Enterprise Linux. The EPEL SIG is led by a steering committee.
Erlang
The mission of the Erlang SIG is to encourage the packaging of Erlang projects in Fedora.
FLTG
FLTG (Fedora Language Testing Group) takes care of the Fedora testing activities: take initiative to conduct the Fedora test days, update necessary wiki pages, prepare test cases, get things coordinated and organized for the testers.
Fonts
The Fonts Special Interest Group is an informal group of Fedora Linux contributors. It is dedicated to improving fonts availability and text rendering/layouting in the distribution and its other Linux derivatives.
Join us and help:

Any font or text-related activity can be tackled, as long as the result is free/libre and compatible with the Fedora objectives.
The current SIG task list is published here.
The Fonts SIG takes loving care of Fedora fonts. Please join this special interest group if you are interested in creating, improving, packaging, or just suggesting a font. Any help will be appreciated.
Formal Methods
"Formal methods" are techniques that use mathematics to prove that models of software, hardware, or systems will or will not have certain behaviors. To be practical, they must be automated using tools. 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 an implementation, proofs, and required tools are all FLOSS), and to provide feedback to toolmakers so that the tools in Fedora can become more powerful, more scaleable, and easier to use together.
Games
Goal of Games SIG is to make Fedora the best Free software and open source gaming platform there is for both developers and users.
Geographic Information System
GIS is an initiative aimed to pack GIS technology related OSS in Fedora/EPEL and turn Fedora/EPEL to be the best chioce for a GIS platform.
Go
Goal of Go SIG is to bring together all people that are interested in Go in Fedora, be it packagers, developers and/or users and working on improving the overall experience.
GraphQL
The Fedora GraphQL SIG mission is to maintain, grow, guide and promote best practice of the development of applications using GraphQL within our infrastructure.

Goal of Heterogeneous Computing SIG is to encourage the packaging and accessibility of heterogeneous computing projects in Fedora and EPEL. This includes machine learning, OpenCL, and scientific computing. E.g. ROCm.
Independent Software Vendor (ISV)
The 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.

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 review them for quality and adherence to the Packaging Guidelines. As this is the initial experience for many new contributors to the Fedora Project, we also work towards making this procedure as enjoyable as possible. Anyone is welcome to join. Obviously it is necessary for one to already be a packager in order to review packages, but there are many tasks that can be done by anyone, and participation in the SIG is a good path to sponsorship.
