About the Event

Come play Minetest with Fedora Pride!
Join us for an exciting afternoon of gaming with the Fedora Community! Fedora Pride invites you to a community event on our Fedora-hosted Minetest server. This virtual gathering is scheduled for Saturday, January 27th, 2024, at 19:00:00 UTC. Engage with fellow community members and contributors through our Fedora Discord for voice chat.
Why is Fedora Pride hosting a Minetest game session? We're experimenting with different ways to engage and promote DEI activities in the Fedora community. Visibility is important and we want to help create open spaces where people can have fun, play with innovative technology, and build upon our vibrant community. So while this is a Pride SIG hosted activity, it's a "Let's have fun!" event for everyone to participate!
