What to expect
We expect from you to provide time and resources to:
- get the ISO of the current Fedora Release. 32\64 bit DVD, 32\64 Gnome Live, 32\64 KDE Live
- do what you can to help out. 1 or 2 discs p\m, is all we ask.
- pay the wrapping and postage to ship those disks.
You are not expected to provide boxes, printed sleeves or printed labels. Writing with a soft tip marker and a standard CD mailer will be enough.
A FreeMedia Mailer has been created to aid this process and it is available here.
Feel free to donate more media and send printed disk if you wish. You can even send media to other countries if you wish. But remember that this is a volunteer initiative. There are no refunds. Do not expend more that you can afford.
Donation
Obsolete, link for historical purposes. If all these expectations are too much, you can still help us by Making a donation to the program.
How to join
Why two lists?
- Freemedia list is a low traffic list where you can ask questions and communicate ideas related to freemedia. Being on this list is mandatory.
- Freemedia Trac list is a high traffic where every single transaction on the trac system is emailed. If one person open, assign , comment, or close a ticket one email is generated. This should be about 1750 mails every month. Being in this list is optional.
