On this episode of the Fedora Podcast, we sit down with a couple of them: Ankur Sinha and Justin Forbes, to talk about the work that earned them recognition and what keeps them showing up for Fedora year after year. We cover Ankur's long-running stewardship of the Join SIG and his work on NeuroFedora, Fabio's role pioneering Rust packaging guidelines in Fedora and his seat on FESCo, and Justin's work keeping the Fedora kernel reliable, secure, and up to date. Three very different corners of the project, one shared thread of contribution. If you have ever wondered what it takes to leave a lasting mark on Fedora, this episode is full of answers. The Fedora Podcast brings you exclusive interviews and deep dives with the innovators and contributors who make the Fedora community amazing! From cutting-edge technologies to the production of the Fedora distribution itself, we chat with the minds behind it all. Whether you're a longtime user or just curious, there's always something new to discover in the world of Fedora. 🎬 New to Fedora?
