Flock 2026 was my first Fedora conference, and it won’t be my last. I came home with new ideas, new friendships, and even a new project to work on for next year.
Appreciation
I want to start by appreciating the Flock organizers and volunteers. Putting together an event like this takes a lot of quiet, unglamorous work, and it showed in how smoothly everything ran. Thanks for that!
I’d also like to thank the event sponsors. Their support makes it possible for contributors from all over the world to come together, learn from one another, and strengthen the Fedora community.
I also want to appreciate my mentor, Jona, for pushing and supporting me until I finally made it. And a big thank you to Fedora for the sponsorship that got me there.
