The following is a list of presentations, birds of feathers, workshops, talks and discussions organized by the community members of the Fedora Project. If you are a part of the community and have a subevent that is selected for the event, please feel free to edit the table below to add an entry with all the related details.
| No | Name | Description | Submitter | Participants |
| 1 | Fedora 39 Release Party: Celebrating 20 years of Fedora | Join friends from the Fedora community to celebrate the most recent release of the Fedora Linux operating system, Fedora Linux 39. We will provide the refreshments while you get to meet other Fedora contributors from across the region. There will be short presentations about Fedora Linux 39 and new changes, the Fedora community, and more. In addition to Fedora Linux 39, the Fedora community is also celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023, so we will have double the reason to celebrate and party near the closing of the year! See you there? :) | Justin W. Flory | Sumantro Mukherjee], Nikita Tripathi, Anushka Jain, Amita Sharma |
| 2 | Creating with Krita | Most designers use applications like Inkscape on GNOME, but they do not venture on to explore even more powerful softwares like Krita because of fear of failing or thinking that it is too complicated or that it can’t create what designers have in mind. This talk will introduce the powerful features of Krita that I have explored while using it since my freshman year at college and will help contributors and new designers bridge the gap to using and creating graphic design, digital art or animation with the software. | Nikita Tripathi |

- Be a mentor, have a mentor: Empower a culture of mentoring in Fedora and scale it.
- Edition stories: Every Fedora Edition should have a story behind its changes each release.
- Open collaboration: More partnership with peer communities and upstream projects.
Open Source Values messaging: Freedom, Friends, Features, First
