Join us for the 2nd annual Virtual Fedora Showcase taking place this October.

This 3-day event will take place online and bring our Fedora community together in one (virtual) place to share, learn and engage with each other. This event is FREE for all attendees and we are looking forward to hosting a wide variety of presenters from institutions around the world sharing their work with others.

Everyone is welcome! Whether you're a longtime Fedora user or new to the software, there is something for everyone. And there might just be some fun interactive games and activities for those who are interested (wink)  

Registration is now open!

  • New this year - Newcomers Welcome & Meet-and-Greet! We welcome everyone to join us before we kick off day one for an unofficial, social gathering to welcome any new Fedora users to the community. This is a casual, informal opportunity for new users to come and say hello, meet the program team and connect with others from the community. Participation will not require special registration. Simply use the same zoom link from registration to join. Looking forward to seeing some new faces.
  • You will also notice several activities labeled in blue. These indicate different engagement activities that we have planned throughout to add a little fun and laughter to the event. Participation is completely optional, but laughter and smiles is guaranteed! Feel free to drop in and watch if you don't feel like participating as well. Cheering sections are always welcome.
  • The schedule of events is mostly finalized, however slight variations in timing may occur due to speaker availability.
