Fedora ProjectHoping everyone is having a great time at Flock to Fedora! We want to take some time to thank our sponsors who help us bring everyone together for this event.
Flock wouldn't exist without Red Hat and we don't just mean the sponsorship.
Red Hat engineers are some of Fedora's most active upstream contributors. They maintain core packages, drive release engineering, and shape the direction of the distribution every single release cycle. Many of them are at Flock now!
Thank you for building Fedora alongside us!
Thank you to AWS for sponsoring Flock to Fedora 2026 at the Gold level!
AWS engineers contribute upstream across the Linux ecosystem from kernel work to cloud tooling that millions of developers rely on every day.
Proud to have AWS's support as the Fedora community gathers in Prague.
Thank you to Meta for sponsoring Flock to Fedora 2026 at the Gold level!
Meta's open source contributions span the Linux ecosystem from kernel-level work to developer tools used across the industry. Their support at this level reflects a real investment in the communities that build the infrastructure the internet runs on.
Thank you for your contributions to the Fedora community!

"Meta's open source contributions span the Linux ecosystem from kernel-level work to developer tools used across the industry"
Yes and that's BAD. You're the most corp-simping distro around, maybe you always have been, but it's obvious that these companies are literally evil and they still get thank you messages with love hearts from you folks.
Their contributions push out the rest of us. It's bad.

@krnlg @fedora go on kernel mailing list, and check what features were merged into kernel thanks to Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and Google.
Spoiler: You probably couldn't comfortably use Linux as daily driver desktop if not for them.
Big companies pouring developers, time and money into Linux is GOOD. And everyone who claims otherwise has the brain power of a 3-year old

I'm well aware of all that, believe me. We do NOT have to hand it to the Nazis for helping us with our projects, though. Sorry not sorry. Fedora is ethics-washing here. If you want to be thanked for doing a good thing, you have to stop doing much more bad things alongside.

@krnlg @fedora okay, so you literally have the brain power of a 3-year old. No point in further discussion.
Here you have Sponsor Prospectus for Flock To Fedora 2026, if you manage to read that.

Also "you could not use it if not for them" is BS. Yes they've made many contributions, because they employ many talented developers and have like, all the money in the world. They shouldn't have all the money, they shouldn't be so big - and then other groups could have the resources to do things.
