Continue readingAs we head into Flock, It’s time again to talk about #strategy2028 — our high-level plan for the next few years.
Since it’s been a while since I’ve given an update, I’m going to start at the top. That way, If this is new to you, or if you’ve forgotten all about it, you don’t need to go sifting through history for a refresher. If you’ve been following along for a while, you may want to skip down to the “Process section”, or if you just want to get to the practical stuff, all the way down to “Right Now”.

The SCaLE (The Southern California Linux Expo) community Linux event delivered an iconic experience with four days of open source training, exhibits, and general presentations. This year’s conference took place in Pasadena (Los Angeles) area.
This expo drew worldwide guests to discuss AI, Linux, security, embedded, IoT, and more. The Technical Committee (Online Services) Chairperson, Mr. Phil Dibowitz, and Technical Committee (Networking) Chairperson, Robert Hernandez paved the way for a smooth registration.
Fedora @ SCaLE 22x Linux Conference – Ready, Set, Go!
Justin Wheeler coordinated and shipped hand-selected swag and marketing items to Perry Rivera. Items included: pens, stickers, commuter mugs, badge lanyards, and more.
Furthermore, the ambassadors gathered up supplies for the conference.
Red Hatter and Fedora Ambassador Perry Rivera delivered community marketing items and swag.
In addition, Perry brought the following:
Some of our ambassadors arrived the previous day to avoid traffic, others in the morning, to catch earlier events and workshops.
We checked in at the Red Hat Booth, but things were quiet there. So, a small group of up lunch at Noodle St., which was perfect considering how cold and drizzly the day presented itself.
We reunited in the lobby area and later in the expo hall to discuss next steps. We discovered just how close the Fedora/CentOS booth was next to the Red Hat booth, which facilitated comm and referrals to and from our teams.
The booth received a vibrant free-standing banners this year. We received a great looking table cover, and swag. We also used a flip chart easel to display a QR code for guests to easily scan to pick up a Fedora badge and to display presentation/workshop info.
After dropping things off, Perry helped steam iron the Fedora table cloth to give it the “less travelled less wrinkly look” and put up the flipchart easel. After doing some initial setup, Perry returned some boxes for booth items back to my car to reclaim booth space. Next, some of us reconvened at the KWAAI Summit, new for 2025. Their chair Reza Rassool and crew organized a lively charcuterie mixer.
After the networking event, a small group of us re-convened at Cordova Cafe to reflect on our day.
We returned to the conference and the Expo Hall this morning to continue unpacking swag, marketing systems, and more. Perry also checked in from to the Red Hat booth from time-to-time to render assistance as needed.
Perry set up a flip chart and glued on a handy QR that users could scan to pick up an e-badge.
Then, Alejandro later wrote in our Fedora scheduled talks, which was handy for guests to take pictures of as they stopped by. Concurrently, Brian and Scott strategically set up swag items. Ivan and Alex, meanwhile routed power cables within the booth.
Meanwhile, Carl and Shaun set up camp for CentOS.
At 2pm, the Exhibit Hall opened. Initially, we had high traffic coming in at the Red Hat and Fedora booths.
We greeted approximately 450+ this day, discussing key foundations such as Freedom, Friends, Features, First, and topics such as AI on Fedora, bootable containers, gitops for packaging, accessibility, git forge, RISC-V, and more.
To accomodate the masses, we took turns around lunch to keep the booth up and running. Some of us departed to Yard House for lunch.
Upon returning, we resumed exhibiting and handing out swag.
Upon closure of the Exhibit Hall, we headed to UpScale to support Scott’s presentation.
After, we headed over to Cafe Santorini to a fine dinner with Red Hat, CentOS, and Fedora associates.
Next, some of us went to Karaoke night to listen to great music and hear each other sing.
We returned to exhibit hall to meet with more of our community and talk about Fedora and tech topics. Perry also time-shared with the Red Hat booth as well.
Later this evening, a few of us attended Game Night.
Perry packed up his hotel room early Sunday and then returned to the conference center and the exhibit hall to continue discussions with our Fedora and Red Hat community.
The final day brought in about 250 Fedora booth guests.
Around 2PM, all booths began closing down to pack things up for shipment. We returned the rolling luggage and a banner box over to Kate Mulder for FedEx return.
Afterward, Perry stopped by Leslie Lamport’s insightful closing Keynote, Coding isn’t Programming .
Throughout the conference, our booth had a sign-in sheet where visitors could stop by and leave feedback and suggestions about Fedora and related efforts.
From the data reviewed, we collected key findings:
In conclusion, we look forward to seeing you at next year’s SCaLE!
The evening before, we prepared the Fedora booth so we could start on time on Saturday. As is tradition, we attended the social event at the Turmbrauhaus. Almost the entire time during the event, I was at the booth and visitors had a few questions. We could assign a special badge to some people. The talks on various topics were well attended. In addition to other distributions and community projects, several commercial companies were also represented with their own booths.
Hello readers of community blog!
Recently on community blog round table meeting we had an interesting conversation about the future of community blog and we would like to hear your feedback on that discussion.
Continue readingFollowing the discussion during the recent Fedora Council F2F on Fedora-Council#502 , the council would like to approve a new policy to set some DEI criteria for potential locations to meet when choosing where we hold our large-scale community events such as Flock. The objective behind this proposal is to make sure we have a governance structure in place to later propose some more specific rules for event location selection. The proposal has two parts: the policy itself, which proposes criteria we would like to use, and then formalize some rules to adhere to when deciding on a location. The rules will be submitted later in a separate proposal.
In order to approve this policy, we are using the policy change policy framework. By policy, this proposal is now open to our community discussion for a period of two weeks, after which the Council will hold a formal vote. The vote will come into effect on March 12th. The full proposal is available from Fedora-Council#502 and council-docs#234 , and discussion is welcome on the discourse thread.
A special thanks to our DEI team who have spent a considerable amount of time creating this well thought out policy.
