Hi Fedora friends!
We are thrilled to announce the return of Fedora Appreciation Week (FAW) for 2023! FAW is a special time for us to come together and express our gratitude to all the dedicated contributors who make the Fedora Project what it is.
Fedora Appreciation Week, abbreviated as FAW, is a week-long event dedicated to celebrating the efforts of Fedora Project contributors and and expressing gratitude to one another. Fedora Appreciation Week kicks off on Monday, November 6, 2023 and runs until Sunday, November 12, 2023.
Originating in 2018 and inspired by the Ubuntu Community Appreciation Day, FAW aims to provide a similar platform for appreciating and acknowledging all the contributions of those who have played a role in shaping the Fedora community. After five years, we are excited to revive this tradition, aligning it with the 20th anniversary of the Fedora Project, on November 6, 2023.
Throughout Fedora Appreciation Week, we encourage all community members to select either an individual contributor or a group of contributors to thank for their work in Fedora. This includes all types of contributions, from development, design, infrastructure, marketing, engineering, and more. Let's come together to celebrate the collective efforts that make Fedora what it is today.
Fedora Appreciation Week is not just about software and code; it's about recognizing and appreciating the people who make the Fedora Project what it is. So, take the opportunity to say "thank you" to your colleagues and friends, whether they are nearby or across the globe. Let's make this event a heartfelt celebration of the Fedora community and its dedicated contributors. #WeAreFedora!

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a virtual event that brings together three significant celebrations in one: the Fedora Release Party, the 20th Anniversary of Fedora, and Fedora Appreciation Week. This event is scheduled to take place on November 10 - 11, 2023. We invite you to join us for two days of joyous celebration! Stay tuned for more details on how to participate, which will be shared soon.
