The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Fedora 26 Alpha. The Alpha release is an important milestone towards the Fedora 26 release later this year.

You can download the Alpha versions of Fedora 26 Workstation and Fedora 26 Server from the pre-release pages of the Get Fedora website. Pre-release versions of the Fedora Spins, Fedora Labs, and Fedora for ARM are also available.

Fedora Alpha releases are provided for Fedora users to try out the upcoming release. More importantly, Fedora engineers want you to file bugs against the upcoming release. The Fedora 26 Changeset page on the Fedora wiki provides a list of new features provided in Fedora 26.

Judging from what I've read on the changenotes.. the team has resolved quite a few issues and introduced new things that I think folks will like.

Fedora.. the Fedora community and arguably the best Linux distro out there.

So recently, (3 weeks back) I decided to volunteer my time and limited knowledge to the Fedora Infrastructure group.  The IF group is what keeps the many official Fedora websites going, as well as EPEL repos, Bugzilla reports, Fedora ISO/etc downloads and a host of other systems running in top shape.

I've learned to love Fedora, much like an ancient simian loves picking at grubs and berries.*

(Sorry I've been re-watching Deadwood, and I find myself talking in that fashion)

Anyways, So yeah at work I finally made the switch totally and I felt the need to give back.. what little I can.  Luckily for me the community and the IF group have no qualms taking on those with little experience, giving them tasks for perform while at the same time learning as they go.  Which is definitely my forte since whatever I learn from them can only help me at work and vice-versa.

Anyway I have been working on SOPs or Standard Operating Procedures for a couple sites with the group and hopefully my tasks will rise in both complexity and awesomeness.
