Hi everyone! Since it's a new year and a new decade [*], it seems like a
good time to look forward and talk about what we want the Fedora Project to
be in the next five and even ten years. How do we take the awesome
foundation we have now and build and grow and make something that continues
to thrive and be useful, valuable, and fun?

Those are my thoughts. What other challenges and opportunities do you see,
and what would you like us to focus on?
For me, the main challenge Fedora faces is **positioning**.
Let me explain: (I don't have numbers but) in my (limited) experience,
when seasoned sysadmins need to launch a new system, they usually
think "Debian" as something reliable; when seasoned as well as
not-very-seasoned-in-Linux research engineers (I know better this
category, since I'm a researcher) need to setup a system for some demo
or experiment, they mostly think "Ubuntu" (yes, I know...); when we
see a new exciting service (such as Travis CI and the like) coming
out, they usually support Ubuntu; and so on and so forth, and I'm not
even talking about the desktop use case.
So I think there's the challenge for Fedora, for all those people to
consider Fedora as a first option for their use cases.
