This event encourages the general community to learn what's new and exciting with this Fedora release.
A release celebrates code-completion for the 42nd final version of Fedora Linux.
It is quite fitting for Fedora/SFVLUG to hold a grand event with highly-spirited 42, meaning of life / meaning of Linux memes.

To provide general information about:
- Linux

Registration
Open registration, first come first serve. Cap at 15 for a possible Glendale makerspace location, 35 for a possible Burbank/West Hills makerspace location, and 200 for a Glendale library auditorium location.
What happens if a site isn't selected for a Release 42 Event?
Not to worry. After seeing some of the great sites and makerspaces here in the Valley, we may decide to hold future special events and/or field trips to the various sites; this has the added benefit of bringing awareness of your spaces to our technology community.
