Hello everyone. This week we’ve found a way to use freely choose the OCI image URI used by bootc and other container-native technologies while still using the same backing OCI registry such as Quay or DockerHub. This empowers bootc projects to migrate OCI registries while maintaining the same public-facing URI. More details coming soon in September’s This Month in HeliumOS.

As for my updates for this week, I’ve been working through my list of people to interview as I dive into the Bootc project. If you think you want to be interviewed, feel free to reach out to me at moralcode@fedoraproject.org or @moralcode:fedora.im on matrix.
In the upcoming week I hope to start getting a draft together of some visuals and writeups condensing some of the things I learned and starting to sink my teeth into some larger project to help the bootc community, Open to suggestions!
That’s all folks!
See you next week, and be sure to stop by #bootc:fedoraproject.org with your updates!
