Fedora CoreOS has consistently grown over the past five years, eventually
becoming a top level edition and now competing with the Server and Cloud
editions for most active node count on any given week. With operating system
and container technology continuing to evolve at a breakneck pace, Fedora
CoreOS sits nicely at the intersection of this evolution; providing a nice
stable ride along the way.
In this session we'll discuss what is next for Fedora CoreOS; our goals for
the project and the community, and how we can achieve those goals through
coordinated technical and non-technical efforts. Topics will include
fedora-bootc, konflux, sysexts, confidential compute and more!
