About a year ago, Microsoft started the Community Linux Engineering team. One of our focuses is the Fedora Project. What have we been doing for the last year, what are our plans for the next year, and why are we here?
First, we will look back at the past year and celebrate some work we have done. Highlights include expanding the supported content types in the image uploading service we initially built to automatically upload the Fedora Cloud images to Azure, onboarding several folks from Microsoft to maintain their software in Fedora, working to improve Fedora’s signing infrastructure, and adding an official Fedora WSL build.
Next, we’ll talk a bit about the work we hope to highlight at Flock 2026, like a more reliable and capable signing service, more automated testing for Cloud images, and more.
Finally, we’ll wrap up by talking about why we’re committing resources to the Fedora Project and what we hope to accomplish.
