Sessions
Mentorship has always been a big part of what makes Fedora special. This year, we’re adding something new to the Fedora Mentor Summit: a casual lunch matching session where mentors and mentees can meet face-to-face, share stories, swap ideas, and connect over common goals.
Here’s how it works:
* We’ve already paired folks based on the Fedora Discussion thread.
* If you didn’t sign up ahead of time - no worries! Stop by and we’ll find you a spot based on the groups we’ve already put together.
* Need a conversation starter? We’ll have a few prompts ready to help break the ice.
* Take a group selfie during lunch and you’ll earn a Fedora Badge as a fun keepsake. 🐧
No formal structure - just good food and good conversation with someone else who cares about growing the Fedora community.
Join us for a fun way to meet fellow attendees. Pick up a Fedora mascot sticker (we’ll have plenty of designs), then look around for others wearing the same one. That’s your cue to say hello - it’s that simple.
This isn’t just for mentors or mentees - it’s for anyone who wants to connect with new or familiar faces and feel more at home in the Fedora community. And yes, there might be some goodies in the mix too. 🐧
To bolster Fedora's membership and cultivate increased community engagement and participation, a strategic approach emphasizing regional visibility is required. This involves establishing a presence at relevant open-source events, particularly within the Latin American region, and re-establishing connections with local colleges and universities. Achieving this necessitates the development and delivery of compelling events and workshops led by internationally recognized experts or facilitators.
