About Fedora Hatch
Our vision for Hatch is to hopefully provide opportunities for Fedorans to get together in person if they so wish. The event does not have to fit a specific format, it will be up to who is inspired to run such an event. For example, someone on the discussion thread said they would organize a hike for Fedorans and someone else mentioned that they would like to do a Pub Quiz, IRL!
What/When/Where are we planning to have in India?
A FOSS and Fedora hands-on experience event organized either in the Red Hat Pune office, or a local university. We also plan to do college drives, i.e visiting different universities and talking about FOSS and Fedora.
