It's a video game thing. We're Broken out into teams and we're trying to you know win um Today's number two social is with Ifa and myself it's the pub quiz and this time we have Done it a little differently.

I think it's a couple dollars So there's a lot of different ways to to join some of them are free some or not We hope you're able to join us. It was a blast last time when we did it at nest. So Feel free to ask questions too about that and i'm going to pass it to ben Hi, i'm just going to make a few announcements here real quick Um, the election nominations are open So if you want to you know have an influence on the direction of the project over the next year The big qr code that i'm pointing to that you can't see what i'm pointing to Is the community blog post about all the elections generally But we also have a special shout out to the mindshare committee who does a lot of awesome work and really needs more Engagement from the community. So marie wrote a com blog post there and there's also a link to the video session they did at nest And both those links are on the announcements page also and if you want a Go ahead Sorry, yeah, just just chiming in here. Uh, the fedora council election seed open is also very important because This is the time Where we're really working on our next strategy for the next three to five years a lot of big picture stuff about where we're going to go And how we're going to get there Um, I personally would like to double the number of people who are actively participating in fedora every day As contributors that's that's my high level goal And so we need to figure out a plan how to get there and make that work because look look how that made the cat Heard or worried when I said that so join the council and help us figure out how we're going to do this without making ben go entirely entirely out of his mind No, it's just a person here preserve my sanity too Oh, no, yeah, no, I thought yours was already gone marie. I'm sorry. I uh I like you how you're implying that I ever had any no, but it's just a clarifying question here Do you want to double the daily? Uh active contributors or do you want to double the active contributors daily because those are two separate goals Right. Oh, yeah, yeah, you know, that's an excellent excellent question. Um, because we will run out of humans very quickly Uh, yeah doubling the number of daily Have you seen I've posted a graph on twitter about the number of apple systems apple is fedora packages built for enterprise linux And by my calculations that will exceed the number of computers in the universe by like june of next year Um, so I feel like if we're going to keep up with that we need to double the number of contributors every day Yes, forever. No in seriousness. I want double what we have right now We have about 200 to 300 people Who work on fedora every day on average? Out of maybe 2000 to 3000 people who work on fedora overall during the year And I'd like to see that in number go up to 500 people who are doing something in fedora every day That's basically what it what my my goal is there. It's a high level. Just sort of let's see what we can do Kind of goal, but I think we can get there So if you want less, uh, uh, of an obligation way to provide an input on the community I think I would just segue it for like five minutes ago Nice The fedora core os team is doing a community survey right now. There's a link there. They kind of want to know How well are they doing it letting the broader community know what what fedora core os is up to? Similarly, we have a release retrospective survey that I definitely didn't slap together like in the last week Um, so it's not necessarily a great release retrospective survey But I'd really like to know what went well and what didn't in this release and uh for f 36. I'll do Uh, I'll get started on it a little sooner. I like to make this a regular thing that we do to get better at You know producing and shipping this awesome distribution that we make I I don't think you're selling it short. I think it's a good set of questions for a baseline Um, everybody please help participate in this so we've got good information to start from as we as we make this regular practice And it's not too late to invite your friends. We're still here. It's at all the rest of today. It feels like and tomorrow So um share the link with your friends and invite them. Marie is very happy with the registration number. So let's keep making her happier And that's a good goal agenda happy Yeah What makes me happy is drinking from a lovely fedora branded cup while wearing lovely fedora branded clothing So i'll turn it back to marie for a little bit of on swag Cool. So we've been doing some work. Um with swag Um, one of the things we did obviously was um the nest swag pack and if you haven't received yours yet I promise they are still coming That was a way bigger project than um our vendor anticipated. So I thank everyone for the patience their patience um Here we have The new logo in hello tux. So that is now available. They have I think four or five different designs sweatshirts and collared shirts, I believe um With the new fedora logo on it. So feel free to make your purchases there They also have the classic logo still available. So that's that is true all right Next we have The balance of items that went into our swag pack is now In the cool stuff store. So you can use that link to go and make purchases of your own So that's pretty exciting and we should be adding more stuff To the cool stuff store shortly actually the first thing we're going to work on is a t-shirt The cool stuff store is red hats branded a swag store and they said we could use it which is nice because that means we don't have to handle something Something like that up It's got some quirks one of which is you have to create an account and log in to see what there is Um, but trust us the stuff is there. It's worth it And there's not going to be anything evil done with your login information Okay Cool And last but not least a big thank you to everyone involved in making the release party happen mind share committee um All the people who are admins in the back people are hosting Social sessions.

This is a small sized one of it But they I'm thinking of getting some of these in like eight by 12 or 10 by 15 I'm curious if people would pay upwards of 50 dollars for a nice a fedora wallpaper Art to put on in their house Because they're expensive to make but um Really pretty and nice I think Marie, did you get your samples yet?
