Great news, everyone!

#ONLYOFFICE Docs 10.0 is finally out 🚀

#AI tools in every editor, 50+ new features, 4 new modular apps, 1,000+ bug fixes and 35 fixed vulnerabilities in one big release.

Based on community feedback, AI is no longer built into the open-source versions. Add it separately only if you want it, and connect any model, including local ones.

Which update will you try first?

The Fedora Community Architect role has changed hands.

Justin Wheeler passes the seat to @shaunm, who continues as @centos Community Architect. Both join Fedora Podcast Ep. 60 to explain what the job actually does.

🎙️ New episode of the Fedora Podcast is out!

We sat down with two of the three 2026 Fedora Contributor Recognition Program winners -- Justin Forbes and Ankur Sinha -- to talk about the work that earned them recognition and what keeps them showing up for Fedora year after year.

Congrats also to Fabio Valentini, the third winner, who we hope to have on a future episode!

Thank you to Arm for sponsoring Flock 2026 at the Silver level!

Arm designs the chips that power billions of devices worldwide, and they are interested in enabling better Linux support as well!

Thank you to Microsoft Azure for sponsoring Flock to Fedora 2026 at the Silver level!

Microsoft's support of open source goes beyond the cloud. Microsoft engineers contribute actively in Fedora and upstream to projects that power the Linux ecosystem every day!

Thank you to @centos for sponsoring Flock 2026 at the Silver level!

CentOS and Fedora have always been deeply connected. CentOS Stream sits at the heart of that relationship, feeding directly into RHEL and drawing from Fedora's innovations. Their contributors and ours overlap in ways that make both projects stronger.

Thank you to @rockylinux and @resf for sponsoring Flock 2026 at the Silver level!

Rocky Linux was built by a community that believes in what Fedora believes in - open, free, and community-driven Linux for everyone. Their contributors work upstream and their mission runs parallel to ours.

Glad to have you in Prague with us.
