Fedora is a huge project, with many ways to get involved.** '''Are you a system administrator?''' You can help create tools, develop and improve processes, and maintain the infrastructure to build over 12000 software packages and distribute 24 petabytes of data each release, or help shape the way that Fedora works.** '''Are you a programmer?'''
