Why is Fedora Pride hosting a Minetest game session?
We're experimenting with different ways to engage and promote DEI activities in the Fedora community. Visibility is important and we want to help create open spaces where people can have fun, play with innovative technology, and build upon our vibrant community. So while this is a Pride SIG hosted activity, it's a "Let's have fun!" event for everyone to participate!
