Events

The Events section of the Fedora Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Team Docs aims to build a Fedora Diversity events calendar and identify regional events for participation. Our focus is on supporting minority-specific events to promote a more inclusive environment across the Fedora Community, we target minority-specific events.

Our mission is to embed inclusivity into all Fedora events and to expand Fedora’s reach into historically marginalized regions through meaningful and well-supported participation.

Making Fedora events inclusive

Inclusivity should be a part of all Fedora events and activities. Here are some best practices to consider when planning an event with your community:

  • Design sessions that are hybrid or remote-friendly

  • Include speakers, panelist and/or contributors from diverse backgrounds

  • Share the Code of Conduct clearly before the event

  • Provide translation or interpretation, if possible

  • Choose accessible venues and platforms

Hosting events in marginalized regions

We want to support Fedora events in regions where open source is still growing - such as parts of Africa, Asia, South America, and more. This requires thoughtful planning.

Here’s how to support that:

  • Partner with local schools or tech communities

  • Offer support for travel, internet access, or event costs (e.g., swag for contributors)

  • Use local languages and culturally aware communication

  • Connect local organizers with Fedora mentors
