Mindshare planning workshop at Flock 2023

The Fedora Community Architect, Justin W. Flory, hosted a workshop with Nick Bebout to brainstorm with the community about what events the Fedora community should plan for in 2024. The sections below capture feedback shared by participants on sticky notes during the workshop. These were events or types of events that community members wished to see a Fedora presence in 2024.

Flagship Fedora events

Flagship Fedora events are main events for all Fedora contributors. These are typically run at a global scale and represent major congregations of people who work in and around the Fedora community.

  • Fedora Flock

    • A Flock in LATAM or APAC?

  • Fedora Hatch

  • Fedora Mentor Summit

  • Fedora hackfests: Great way to gather in-person with your team and work on new ideas.

  • Fedora Release Parties (virtual)

Community ecosystem events

Community ecosystem events are ones where our upstreams or neighborly Linux communities gather. There is a strategic importance for Fedora to participate and attend these events, so that Fedora efforts and initiatives are represented across the Linux and open source ecosystem.

  • GNOME GUADEC

  • KDE aKademy

  • openSUSE Conference

  • Academic conferences (e.g. NeuroFedora)

Local & regional events & festivals

These are open source and Linux-focused events and festivals that happen on a smaller scale in cities or in a region/state. Typically, Fedora does not send representatives or Ambassadors internationally to attend these events, but local Fedora community members may participate as speakers or organize a booth to talk about Fedora with their local communities.

  • Fedora Women’s Day

  • Local events

  • Community outreach (local)
