The Fedora Free Media Program was a volunteer initiative by local Fedora Ambassadors and contributors to distribute Fedora Media (DVDs) for free to individuals who can't afford to buy or download Fedora.

This program was retired in February 2021 due to a lack of participation for some time. You can read more about the background of this decision in the Fedora Mindshare Team ticket #252.

If you would like to obtain physical Fedora Media, please consult the following list of vendors from whom you may obtain copies for a nominal fee: If your current circumstances would make purchasing media a hardship at this time, you are most welcome to open a public or private ticket with the Fedora Mindshare team for assistance.
