How can you help?
There are many ways you can help out -- from big to small. Every contribution helps and every helper on the ground counts.
 The HelpWanted page is always a good place to start if you can't decide where you would like to contribute to the Fedora Project.

| Events |
Events
- Represent Fedora at a local event
It does not have to be a Linux event. Think big, go to a music or media trade show and tell them how Fedora can help solve the problems they are facing. Help people understand why open media formats are better than proprietary.
- Speak at a conference near you
If you are looking for ready-made presentations and ideas for talks, visit individual events pages, like FUDCon If you hold a talk, consider sending the slides to Alex Maier , so they can be published for others to use.
- Alert Fedora about an event near you
Add the event to the FedoraEvents list yourself or simply send an email to Alex Maier
- Go to an event listed on Fedora Events page and tell the rest of us on Fedora Marketing List how it went
| If you are unsure of messaging, Fedora Talking Points is always a good source
