Hi there, I’m Stewart, a Principal Engineer at AWS working on Amazon Linux, and thanks to our new direction in basing Amazon Linux on Fedora, also Fedora. I have a (decently) long time Linux history, remembering Slackware 3.5 on floppies, RedHat (not RHEL) 5 from CD-ROM, MkLinux, and YellowDog (yay PowerPC). I’ve spent the vast bulk of my carreer around the free software ecosystem, having spent a long time in the MySQL community, and more recently OpenPOWER, and now working on Amazon Linux. I have a few areas of interest that I’d personally love to contribute around and see progress in the Fedora ecosystem. The idea of atomic updates and rollback with systems like rpm-ostree is quite fascinating from an operational point of view (my personal desktop is currently running Silverblue), and likely fits really well with the versioned (and version locked) repositories we’re doing with Amazon Linux 2022 and beyond. I also think there’s a lot of interesting supply chain assurance we can do to ensure continual and increased confidence in the open source ecosystem and way of development. Then there’s things like performance, boot times (including time-to-first-useful-work), image based deployments (who needs an installer when you can have cloud-init or similar to init things). So, that's a few areas of interest :) With my AWS hat on, I’m pretty excited to see what we do over the coming years with Fedora and Amazon Linux, and growing the number of people who have working on Fedora as part of their day job (and yes, we're hiring). _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
