Please note this is completely a community driven volunteer driven system - volunteers pay out of their own pockets for the media and the postage. More Fedora Ambassadors or Contributors are invited to participate .

Housekeeping
We use Free-Media/Housekeeping to manage the programme. Please file a ticket there if you have any issues. Team members are encouraged to hang out on our IRC channel - #fedora-freemedia[?].
The current administrators are:
- EMEA - Rvalkass, Twohot, Ankursinha
- NA - Linuxmodder
- LATAM - Fredlima
- APAC - Kartik0709
What to expect
We expect from you to provide time and resources to:
- get the ISO of the current Fedora Release.
- do what you can to help out. 1 or 2 discs per month, 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 is 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. Please always keep in mind that this is a volunteer initiative and we strongly suggest that you not spend more that you can afford.
