Fedora 39 Release Party – Frankfurt, Germany

January 25, 2024 / jbley / Comments Off

Even though the odds were slim due to a strike of train operators, 10 Fedora friends (old & new) found their way to the first physical Frankfurt Fedora Release Party on November 16, 2023.

Ten people pose for a photograph in front of a table with pizza, soda, and blue Fedora polo shirts.

A neutral white background appears, of what seems to be a viewpoint looking down at the top of a desk. A plant and pen are on the desk. Text is overlaid on the image, reading "Docs workshop: Virtually writing together."
