Social Events in Fedora
Fedora social events are fun, welcoming spaces where people can connect, share, and build community. They happen during bigger conferences like Flock, or as part of smaller events or local meetups.
These events are open to everyone - you don’t have to be an expert. The goal is to create a relaxed space where people can hang out, swap stories, play games, and enjoy being part of the Fedora community - they make Fedora feel more human and inclusive.
Tip: Focus on small, easy-to-join activities, give clear instructions, and always invite newcomers to jump in. It’s okay if things aren’t perfect - what really matters is people showing up and learning.
