From Fedora Project Wiki
The Fedora community will celebrate the release of Fedora Linux 40 with a virtual Release Party on 24-25 May 2024. For a few hours each day, Fedora contributors and leaders will speak about recent changes in Fedora Linux and the Fedora Project. Our global Release Parties are a great way to learn more about the latest Fedora Linux release and also an opportunity to get to know the Fedora contributors behind it all.
We hope you will join us in a celebration of our last six months and the people who make it possible!
