While we are looking at coming up with goals for Fedora, it might be a good revisit to focus on getting the developers back on Fedora as their default developing environment. Just a thought.


This is already the primary stated goal of the Fedora Workstation. In Fedora 21, we made a big push in this direction with the DevAssistant project, which we have been advertising and getting excellent press coverage.

There are plenty of other developer-oriented features in the works, including Software Collections (to address forward and backward compatibility) as well as exploration of the use of containerized applications to simplify the differences between development and deployment environments.

So from the outreach perspective, I think the best thing we can do is help gather requirements for these new features and assist Marketing with advertising the ones we have already delivered (like DevAssistant).
