As with all of these conferences, we strongly encourage you to think of ways to share your work with the broader community. Talks do not need to be specifically focused on Fedora implementations, but sharing workflows, user Storie, on-going migration efforts etc. are always extremely valuable to user within our ecosystem. Even something as simple as mentioning the technology you’re working with (ie. Fedora) is valuable name-recognition for us as a program and allows others to see what is possible!

I always say that you may not find your work overly complex, interesting, or unique, but I can almost guarantee someone else out there would find value in what you share! So please consider how you can be a part of the conversation!

If you are planning to attend any of these events, or are speaking at any of them, let us know! We look forward to seeing everyone around!

Cheers,

Arran
