= Communication in Fedora
As referenced on the xref:join.adoc[Get Involved] page below, Fedora is a massive global organisation with many people with different skills carrying out different roles.
As you get involved you may need to find assistance and the xref:help.adoc[Getting Help] page can help you with that.
This current page goes into more detail around the various communication channels within the Project.
== Primary Channels
=== Chat
We now use https://chat.fedoraproject.org[Matrix/Element] as the primary synchronous channel to speak to each other in real time.
You can find a list of the Fedora channels on Matrix https://chat.fedoraproject.org/#/room/#fedora-space:fedoraproject.org[here].
=== Fedora Discussion
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/ask/6/none[Fedora Discussion] is the primary discussion forum where you will find all the latest news & announcements, as well as discussion about open source projects; workflows, and Fedora-specific offerings such as the Fedora Editions.
See also under xref:help.adoc[Getting Help].
=== Ask Fedora
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/ask/6/none[Ask Fedora] sits within Fedora Discussion and is the main community knowledge base and support forum hosted by the Fedora Project.
Ask Fedora is a good place to go for support and troubleshooting help, as mentioned on the xref:help.adoc[Getting Help] page.
== Other Communication Channels
As above, https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/ask/6/none[Fedora Discussion] is now the primary platform for longer asynchronous discussions where short-lived chats may not be enough.
Some teams do still use mailing lists though.
The most significant mailing lists are:
* https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/[announce]
* https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/[devel]
* https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/[devel-announce]
* https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org/[test]
For a catalog of all the mailing lists look at https://lists.fedoraproject.org/[lists.fedoraproject.org]
https://fedoramagazine.org[Fedora Magazine] is a great resource for user-facing announcements and cool stories about usage, features, etc...
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org[Fedora Community Blog] brings you contributor-facing announcements and updates.
Within the Community Blog you'll also find https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/tag/fridays-fedora-facts/[Friday's Fedora Facts].
These are weekly posts with status updates, schedule info, etc..
The Fedora Pagure source control repository allows posting of https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/council-docs/issues[issues] which can be discussed, assigned and remediated.
Here you can raise issues or view, comment on, and request to act on open issues.
There are a number of official and other social media accounts, on various networks.
You can find details of these documented on the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_social_networks[Marketing Social Networks] Wiki page.
== Etiquette
In all our interactions, we aspire to _be excellent to each other_.
Read the xref:code-of-conduct.adoc[Code of Conduct] to learn more of what is expected of Fedora community members.
