Explore the latest in Open Source

Workshops & Hackfests

Workshops and hackfests offer opportunities for active learning and collaboration. These sessions are interactive and get you hands-on with engineering and non-engineering aspects of the Fedora community. These typically run for either two hours (workshops) or a half-day (hackfests).

Sessions & Presentations

Presentations that showcase the work done in Fedora and planning for the future. These typically run for either 30 minutes or 60 minutes.

Social Events

Casual, facilitated, and interactive events for meeting and socializing with Fedorans. Spend time with fellow community members to get to know each other better and build connections that last throughout the year.

An In-Person Experience

Flock is the Fedora Project's annual contributor-focused conference. It typically alternates between European and North American locations. The conference provides a venue for face-to-face meetings and conversations. It is also a place to celebrate our community. At Flock, we communicate the Fedora strategy, make connections that lead to action, and celebrate our successes and our community.

FAQs

  • Who comes to Flock?

    While Flock is open to anyone, the majority of talks at Flock are focused on existing contributors and those looking to increase their involvement. There is almost no solely user-focused content. Flock is a space meant for working on and advancing the interests of our global, diverse contributor community.


  • What will we do at Flock?

    Communicate the Fedora Strategy: Everyone in Fedora should understand and feel well-aligned with the project's goals, both tactical and long-term. Flock to Fedora is a crucial unifying force for our community. It offers a unique venue to discuss new ideas with our diverse community around the world. In-person connections form the most powerful way to get everyone inspired to work towards our shared goals. This makes it the best venue to encourage and motivate our contributors toward reaching our shared goals.

    Make Connections that Lead to Action: We do amazing work as a global project, but it is hard to know everything that is going on. When we work online, it is easy to focus only on our work and the people we directly work with. At Flock, we meet many other members of the community who we might not otherwise encounter. These unique connections formed in the Flock “melting pot” empower future collaborations and inspire cross-team ideas that couldn’t happen otherwise.

    Celebrate Our Successes and Our Community: The Fedora community is made up of diverse people from various professional backgrounds, cultures, languages, time zones, and interests. With this amazing blend of people, we never lose sight of the strong value of our Friends Foundation. Flock to Fedora demonstrates how we live that value as a community. The social energy generated from Flock to Fedora sustains contributors for the rest of the year, keeping us connected and engaged.
