Fedora Holiday Announcements

[Arran Griffith]

Hi Everyone,

It is hard to believe that we are coming to the end of 2025 already. We are grateful to all our incredible community members for all you have done and continue to do for Fedora. Without you, we would not be the vibrate, engaged, and committed, global community we are today. So thank you!

As we close out the year, we wanted to share some information about upcoming opportunities and reflections on our year.

• You can find our Annual Year in Review here: https://fedorarepository.org/2025-year-in-review/
• This is a small highlight reel of some of our most important achievements from the last year. We couldn’t fit it all in one document, so we chose some of our favourites.
• I’ve also attached a PDF version if you’d like to download and read offline.

• In the new year we will be continuing to gather your input on developing a new training and administrative UI for Fedora through a series of open information gathering sessions. This is a continuation of a discussion that was kick-started at Virtual Fedora Showcase in November.
• We are hosting the following Community Info Gathering Sessions:

• Thursday, January 15 @ 12pm Eastern - https://lyrasis.zoom.us/j/81853680575?pwd=Cz5TngVXS2wc3pQhZrRApHsbdVNgnb.1

• Friday, January 16 @ 8am Eastern - https://lyrasis.zoom.us/j/82302838773?pwd=gy571vCN2ewtTmqx6VNXrUaPCoEe9S.1

• Wednesday, January 21 @ 1pm Eastern - https://lyrasis.zoom.us/j/89598402086?pwd=UYvdeI6vpc11bp8fwv0AFbrcKMVkOR.1

• There is no registration required to attend these sessions. These are the links to join. We will communicate more about other ways to participate in the new year. But attending a session is a great place to start!

Thank you again to all of your for being a part of the Fedora community. We appreciate each of you and look forward to seeing you around the community in the new year.

Best wishes to everyone for a safe, happy, and healthy Holiday Season. All the best in the new year.

Cheers,

Arran
