About. Meet The Team
The Korora Project is small, but we have a dedicated team and community.
We appreciate everyone who has come along and been a part of it, from our contributors, helpers and testers to IRC lurkers. Thank you to everyone who has downloaded Korora and helped to spread the word, you make it all worthwhile!
Core development team
Without our dedicated core team which work very hard, Korora would not exist. Thank you!
