The Fedora Project Leader, Jef Spaleta, gave a talk at Fedora's Flock conference this month and LWN's Joe Brockmeier reported on the talk's highlights. Something which stood out during the talk is that Fedora usage appears to be up, quite a bit. The KDE Plasma desktop edition has gained 120% installs over the past year, while the GNOME edition is up about 18%. Between the two desktop editions, Fedora is estimating over 450,000 installs. Other spins, including atomic images, accounted for about 167,000 additional installs. In short, more people are running Fedora systems. However, at the same time, the number of package maintainers for Fedora has been decreasing. Spaleta's data shows Fedora's contributors have dropped from about 420 in the year 2020 to 325 in 2026. In other words, over 20% of Fedora contributors have dropped out over the past six years. The LWN article goes on to cover Spaleta's thoughts on why the decline in developers might be happening and some plans to reverse the trend. |
