Fedora CoreOS has grown steadily over the past five years, while Fedora bootc
has emerged rapidly, creating new opportunities for people to build on Fedora
and develop exciting new projects. Although the two projects approach different
problems and use cases, they ultimately rely on many of the same underlying technologies.
In this session, we’ll discuss Fedora bootc and Fedora CoreOS, and propose a vision
for the future in which their communities, tooling, documentation, and outputs are
more closely aligned. We’ll also explore how coordinated technical and non-technical
efforts can help make that vision a reality.
