53: Introduction to Fedora Flock
Thursday, 9 April, 2026
Flock to Fedora is coming! On this episode of the Fedora Podcast, hosts Eric and Noah sit down with Justin and a special guest to give you everything you need to know about the Fedora Project's annual contributor conference. Flock 2026 is headed to Prague, Czech Republic, June 14-16, and whether you are a seasoned contributor or thinking about getting involved for the first time, this is the episode to watch before you pack your bags. We cover what Flock actually is and who it is for, how the conference is structured across its three-day run, what kinds of sessions and activities to expect, and how to register, submit a talk proposal, or apply for financial aid. We also dig into why Flock matters beyond the schedule itself — the in-person connections, cross-team collaborations, and community energy that keep contributors going the rest of the year. If you have ever wondered what happens when the Fedora community gets together in one room, this is your invitation to find out. The Fedora Podcast brings you exclusive interviews and deep dives with the innovators and contributors who make the Fedora community amazing! From cutting-edge technologies to the production of the Fedora distribution itself, we chat with the minds behind it all. Whether you're a longtime user or just curious, there’s always something new to discover in the world of Fedora. 🎬 New to Fedora?
