Fedora Free Media Program Information

Introduction

Fedora Free Media Program is a volunteer initiative under Fedora Distribution Project that aims to distribute Fedora Core media (DVDs) for free to individuals. Local Fedora Ambassadors or Contributors are invited to participate.

History

Relationship with Fedora Ambassadors

  • Free Media was originally created by concerned members of the Fedora Ambassadors Project in an effort to deliver Fedora installation media to more users.
  • The Free Media and Sponsored Media programs work directly with Fedora Ambassadors to advance the spread of Fedora.
  • The Ambassadors Project supports the Free Media program and works to provide free Fedora installation media to those who could not otherwise afford it.
  • The Ambassadors Project laid the groundwork for the Free Media program from a desire to spread Fedora to as many people as possible.

Guidelines

  • Limit to only 1 DVD per request per person per release to cut cost and time.
  • Please note this is a volunteer initiative by local Fedora Ambassadors or Contributors who are willing to burn DVDs and ship them with their own resources (DVD writer, blank media, shipping materials and postage).
  • This means they can only ship a limited number of DVDs per week. You can expect them to send out an average of 2 DVDs a week.
  • Your Free Media request might not be fulfilled at this time as this program depends on their own time and expenses.
  • If you're a Fedora Ambassador or Fedora Contributor, you will not receive any DVD via this program.
  • Please note we can't ship media to U.S. embargoed or restricted destinations. See Fedora Export Control Product Matrix

How the Program Works

  • When a user submits a request for a DVD or LiveCD via the Free Media Request form, the request will be sent to a mailing list.
  • When the request reaches the mailing list, it will be reviewed and discussed among members of the list.
  • Each member in the list will be responsible to fulfill the Free Media Request for your country.
  • You may also accept requests from other countires other than your country.
  • If you accept the request, please type I accept this request in the body when you reply to the request.
  • It's not necessary but if you wish to confirm the request to the user, please remove the instruction from the body to avoid the confusion.
  • IMPORTANT Please do not change the original subject in the email as we track all requests by the subject thread.
