Sessions
Mentorship has always been a big part of what makes Fedora special. After a great response last year, we’re bringing back the Mentor–Mentee Lunch at the Fedora Mentor Summit at Flock 2026, with a small tweak. A casual lunch matching session where everyone can meet face-to-face, share stories, swap ideas, and connect over common goals.
Here’s how it works this year:
* Anyone attending Flock can join.
* Participants are grouped based on topic of interest, no pre-signup required.
* Each day features different topics, so people can explore multiple areas across the event.
* 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. 🐧
Topics by day:
Day 1 (Sunday, June 14)
* Documentation
* Operations
* Development
* Marketing
Day 2 (Monday, June 15)
* Packaging
* Infrastructure
* Interpersonal Skills
* Events
Day 3 (Tuesday, June 16)
* Artificial Intelligence
* Governance
* Release Engineering
* Design
No formal structure - just good food and good conversation with someone else who cares about growing the Fedora community.
