Atomic This Week - 2026-06-09

Project Discussion

Bringing back the BCTW bot! I’ll be doing these partially by hand this week :slight_smile:

Note that the bootc initiative is now called the Atomic Initiative, so while the bot and channel (and this tag, actually) are still called bootc for now, I’m removing some of those references in the generated text for cleanliness.

Meetings and Status Updates :thermometer:

nimbinatus says

Here are the (auto-generated summary) notes from this week’s meeting:

Key Discussion Points

  • Konflux for Base Image Shipping:
    • The group agrees that using Konflux to build and ship the Fedora bootc base image is the desired direction for Fedora 45.
    • The primary blocker is getting approval from Fedora releng for a managed namespace to handle signing and pushing artifacts to the registry.
    • Several members will be at Flock to discuss this in person, with a presentation being prepared to address releng’s potential concerns.
    • There’s a belief that the Community and Ecosystem (CLE) team is becoming more supportive of Konflux, which could help the effort.
  • Contributor Access and Governance:
    • There are current difficulties for contributors to get access to Konflux, highlighting a need to expand the number of people who can approve new tenants.
    • The group identified the need for a clear contribution ladder and governance structure to manage permissions for new and existing contributors.
  • Future SIG Structure:
    • As the initiative is temporary, there was a discussion about creating a permanent home for the work.
    • The consensus is leaning towards creating a new “Atomic SIG” specifically for the bootc base images, rather than merging with the existing Atomic Desktops SIG.
    • A proposal for a new SIG structure will be drafted and discussed internally before being shared more widely.

Kudos and Shoutouts :folded_hands:

nimbinatus says

Kudos to the following folks for work lately:

  • siosm and hricky for their work on migrating the repos!
  • jcapitao for his work on Konflux tenants (and everyone else that’s helping… I bet we’ll have a lot more kudos to share post Flock :wink: )

Remaining Thoughts :thought_balloon:

nimbinatus says

In general, we’re moving forward, and that’s fantastic! Due to Flock, we won’t be having a meeting next week. We will be having a video meeting the week after.

If you want to contribute, you can join the initiative and the SIGs making the work happen! Come join us in the Atomic Initiative’s channel on Matrix to start participating and find where we can use your help.

That’s all folks!

If you have made progress on a project that you want to share you can learn how to submit an entry and your update could be featured in the next issue of BCTW.

See you next week, and be sure to stop by #bootc:fedoraproject.org to post your updates and hang out with the community!
