Fedora Women’s Day (FWD) is a day to celebrate and bring visibility to female contributors in open source projects including Fedora. The initiative is led by Fedora’s Diversity and Inclusion team. The number of women in tech have been increasing year over year, further highlighting the importance of a more inclusive culture in tech.
On September 21, We had our first Fedora Women’s Day in the UAM Azcapotzalco (Mexico City) and we loved to do it.
On February 27th, the Fedora Community in Nicaragua ran a Release Party for the F27 Release. The activity took place in a salon of Hotel Mansión Teodolinda in Managua.

Of more than 200 subjects discussed by more than 4,500 nerds, teachers, students and interested in new technologies, coming from various parts of Brazil, neighboring countries Argentina and Paraguay and outside countries, during three days of the 14th Latin American Congress of Free Software and Technologies (Latinoware), held last week at the Itaipu Power Plant in Foz do Iguaçu, one of the themes that most attracted public attention was how free robotics can improve education, especially in children.

Although we are a couple of dozen active collaborators throughout Latin America, we are passionate about free software and we believe in the values of the Fedora Project. We have presence in various areas of the project and we hope to continue promoting Fedora in 2017 by getting more users and collaborators for the project in our region.
FUDCon is the Fedora Users and Developers Conference. The Fedora community holds this event annually in the APAC and LATAM regions since 2005. They became exclusive to APAC and LATAM in 2013 when the EMEA and NA regions began organizing the annual Flock conference.
FUDCon consists of sessions, talks, workshops, and hackfests. For Fedora contributors, it is a unique opportunity to share experiences and work together on common goals for the region. For users, it is an opportunity to come into contact with Fedora contributors in the region. It helps find ways to collaborate with contributors and integrate into the community. For FUDCon LATAM, this helps the growth of the Latin-American community. The 2016 edition of FUDCon LATAM is being held from 13-16 October 2016 at Universidad Nacional del Altiplano in Puno. Puno is in southeastern Peru, on the shore of Lake Titicaca.
The Fedora community in Peru is one on the biggest in the region. Peru was the venue for FUDCon LATAM 2013 in Cusco. In 2013, FUDCon LATAM had the biggest audience in almost 10 years of FUDCons (around of 800 people attended the event). We hope this event will help bring new partners to the Fedora Project!
