FY2024 - 2025 Funding Campaign
This fiscal year, through your support, Fedora Governance and the Fedora program team are looking to raise funds to complete specific, time-sensitive tasks identified as high-priority by the community. Our goal is to reach $25,000 above the anticipated budget this fiscal year, 2024-2025.
The Request
The Fedora Program, stewarded by our organizational home, Lyrasis, is seeking an additional contribution for fiscal year 2024-2025, to raise a total of $25,000 above the anticipated budget. A simple, one-time contribution or raising your membership tier will help us meet this fundraising goal.
Why we are asking
This additional funding for the Fedora Program would allow us to bring the current Fedora lead developer up to full-time capacity over the next 18-24 months, in order to complete time-sensitive tasks identified as high priority by the community.
How the money will be used
The funds will enable the lead developer to increase from 50% to 80% of their time, this year, to work on critical Fedora updates, development and testing. Specifically, the developer will dedicate their time over the next fiscal year (FY 2024-2025) to the following:
- Critical security and stability updates
- Improved performance and scalability
- Improved documentation and technical resources
- Continued support for migrations to current versions of Fedora
- Integrations with other repository platforms
- Continue maintenance and support
