Were you keeping an eye on the Flock 2023 call for proposals? Were you planning a proposal for this year’s event in Cork, Ireland from 2–4 August 2023? Did you miss the deadline to submit? Fear not, because the Flock 2023 CfP is extended for one week only until Tuesday, 27 June. If you were still working on that perfect proposal for our first return to an in-person event in four years, there is still time to submit before the deadline.

Fedora 37 Release Party Brazil

November 3, 2022 / mairacanal / Comments Off

The Fedora Community in Brazil recently celebrated the release of Fedora Linux 37. The last Release Party in-person in Brazil was back in July 2016. We hosted a Fedora 37 Release Party at the University of São Paulo this month with the help of the Grupo de Extensão em Livre e Open Source (GELOS) group. Thank you to all the organizers, speakers, and attendees who made the Fedora 37 Release Party Brazil possible.

You’re invited to the Fedora Linux 37 Release Party!

October 27, 2022 / riecatnor / Comments Off

As we work our way through the Fedora Linux 37 Schedule, I am excited to announce that we will celebrate the final release of Fedora Linux 37 with a virtual Release Party. Please register on Hopin and join us on November 4th & 5th for a short program of informational sessions and social activities. Make sure to save the dates, share the registration, and show up to celebrate with Fedora Friends, old and new!

The schedule for the Release Party features informational sessions about Fedora CoreOS, Anaconda Web UI, AWS & Fedora, and a bunch more current community activities. We are planning to include the classic Pictionary social, as well as a new (to the release party) GeoGuessr social. Last, but certainly not least, we will be hanging out in the Fedora Museum WorkAdventure for our Hallway track. Thanks to our amazing community for all your contributions to the latest release of Fedora Linux. Let’s party!

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) team is hard at work in the preparation for Fedora Week of Diversity (FWD). We would love to have a larger group of volunteers to make Fedora Week of Diversity bigger and better this year to celebrate our diverse and inclusive community.

FWD will take place on October 14th and 15th on the Hopin platform. We are also hosting an online game on https://teambuilding.com/ for all participants to play and attend connection games.

We are calling for participants to be interviewed or give a talk on personal experiences on diversity, equity, and inclusion within Fedora and in your life. We would love to hear your story!
