openSUSE:Launch parties

Jump to: navigation, search

openSUSE Leap 15.6 was released on June 12, 2024! Celebrate the new release with your fellow openSUSE enthusiasts with a launch party! These events revolve around the debut of a new openSUSE version and can take many forms, depending on the organizers. They are great opportunities to share information about the latest release, exchange knowledge and introduce new people to openSUSE distributions. Most importantly, these gatherings are all about having a lot of fun...

If you are hosting an event for a launch party of the next release, go ahead and add it to list below. If you're interested in hosting one and have questions, see the Launch Party HOWTO or ask someone on the Marketing Telegram channel.


If you want to give a presentation, find some materials on the Presentations page.

Picking a date

Launch parties aren't limited to the release date. It's fine to organize a party 3 to 4 weeks after the release or more, when people have had a chance to test it out!

And be sure to fill in the list below as complete as possible!!!

Note that we can not guarantee to be able to get things to you in time. The later the release party is after the release the bigger the chance we can make it!
Note that we can not guarantee to be able to send anything to your party - we have limited resources and might have to prioritize!
