What are the Fedora Watch Parties?
With Fedora’s tradition of celebrating each release, we’re thrilled to introduce a more inclusive format this time around: Fedora Global Watch Parties. Instead of a single release party event, Fedora’s Global Watch Parties create three time slots across APAC, EMEA, and LATAM/NA, making it easier for everyone to participate in a way that fits their schedule and time zone.
Each Watch Party is designed to be easy to join, running around 1.5 hours. This shorter format means that more Fedora users, contributors, and community members can attend, connect, and engage. It’s a perfect opportunity to meet other Fedora community members, learn more about Fedora 41, and share the excitement of the release—no matter where you are.
What to Expect
- 5-15 minute pre-recorded sessions that dive into Fedora 41’s latest features, from DNF 5 to GNOME and KDE improvements, and updates for image mode, Secure Boot, and MIPI camera support. These talks are designed to keep you up-to-date on Fedora’s newest developments, whether you’re a long time contributor or a Fedora newcomer.
- Real Time Matrix Chat, so attendees can join in, share thoughts, ask questions, and connect with others who are passionate about Fedora.
- Opening Remarks from Fedora Leadership during the LATAM/NA session, where Fedora Project leaders will discuss Fedora 41’s journey, community goals, and ways to get involved in future releases.
With the change to holding sessions across three different time zones, we’re making it easier than ever for contributors and users worldwide to attend and participate. Whether you’re joining to learn about Fedora 41’s features or to connect with others who share your passion for open-source, we want to bring our community closer together.
Pick the time slot that works best for you, grab your Fedora swag, and join us for our Fedora 41 release event. See you there!
