FEDORA BY THE NUMBERS

January 2016

Remy DeCausemaker and Matthew Miller

Fedora Linux Had A Very Productive, Tremendous Year….

With the releases this year of Fedora 22 and Fedora 23, Fedora stakeholders should be proud of

themselves with the quality of Fedora releases/support continuing to go up while driving a lot of new

innovation and success into Linux.

— Phoronix

Fedora found its groove again with Fedora Next and turned out its most impressive releases to date.

More than just a great release though, the Fedora Project feels re-energized, like Fedora suddenly

remembered what it was and where it was going. That's great news for Fedora fans, but it's also great

news for RHEL and its many derivatives.
