Due to the new government in Syria and changes in US law, the Fedora community was able to restore access to the project to Syrians! This includes not just downloading Fedora Linux, but also all aspects of participating in the project itself.
“The Fedora Project envisions a world where everyone benefits from free and open source software built by inclusive, welcoming, and open-minded communities.“
We're grateful to be able to take this step 🙏
