The Freemedia program sends out Fedora media to end users. Please do not join the team if you require Fedora media, instead, please see Request Media
Thank you for your interest in Fedora Free Media Program! This is a volunteer driven initiative under Fedora Distribution Project that aims to distribute Fedora Media (DVDs) for free to individuals who can't afford to buy or download. 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 . If you have any question about the program, please drop one of the admins an e-mail, or file a ticket at the Pagure project instance. Please do not write directly to program coordinators requesting media

Housekeeping

We use Free-Media/Housekeeping to manage the programme. Please file a ticket there if you have any issues.

The current administrators are:

  1. EMEA - Rvalkass, Twohot, Ankursinha
  2. NA - Linuxmodder
  3. LATAM - Fredlima

What to expect

We expect from you to provide time and resources to:

  1. get the ISO of the current Fedora Release.
  2. do what you can to help out. 1 or 2 discs per month, is all we ask.
  3. 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.
