Back in 2020, when I barely started using Linux, I was using Fedora as my main driver. I always looked forward to the major release events, indicated by their codenames or version numbers.
These parties were virtual via Zoom, and they hosted games, and etc.
I always thought it was a cool way to be in touch with community, share accolades and accomplishments, make announcements, and etc.
Has there been any interest in someone from the Nix community organizing this type of “virtual event”?
I know that we do release retrospectives via Jitsi. @RossComputerGuy do you know if we did anything else for last release?
In any case, sounds like a cool idea.
Yeah, I’d say the release retrospective is essentially a release party. We discuss how the release went, what to improve, and general discussion after the release.
Where do the retrospectives get announced? How can one attend?
Usually here and the release management chat on Matrix. You just join the jisti call.
Yeah, they’re a great time. Participation is open, I took notes last time if you’d like a feel for how it went.
Here’s how to participate in this one:
Looking like 2025-06-01 @ 5:00pm UTC.
We’ll do a release retrospective today 2025-06-01 @ 5:00pm UTC in Jitsi Meet.
