    54: BootC in the Wild

    What does bootc look like when it's actually running in production, not just in a lab? James Harmison joins the Fedora Podcast to talk about building custom bootc images across wildly different contexts: NVIDIA drivers, AGX Orin hardware with custom kernel RPMs, replacing RHCOS images in OpenShift, and even a stripped-down SteamOS-style couch gaming rig. We also get into his contributions to the Chunkah project and the real-world UX conversations shaping where bootc goes next. The Fedora Podcast brings you exclusive interviews and deep dives with the innovators and contributors who make the Fedora community amazing! From cutting-edge technologies to the production of the Fedora distribution itself, we chat with the minds behind it all. Whether you're a longtime user or just curious, there’s always something new to discover in the world of Fedora. 🎬 New to Fedora?

    53: Introduction to Fedora Flock

    Flock to Fedora is coming! On this episode of the Fedora Podcast, hosts Eric and Noah sit down with Justin and a special guest to give you everything you need to know about the Fedora Project's annual contributor conference. Flock 2026 is headed to Prague, Czech Republic, June 14-16, and whether you are a seasoned contributor or thinking about getting involved for the first time, this is the episode to watch before you pack your bags. We cover what Flock actually is and who it is for, how the conference is structured across its three-day run, what kinds of sessions and activities to expect, and how to register, submit a talk proposal, or apply for financial aid. We also dig into why Flock matters beyond the schedule itself — the in-person connections, cross-team collaborations, and community energy that keep contributors going the rest of the year. If you have ever wondered what happens when the Fedora community gets together in one room, this is your invitation to find out.

    48: What's Next for the Podcast?

    Noah and Noel will be talking about the state of the Fedora Podcast since Eric's departure and what will be happening next! This is the first podcast episode that Noah and I hosted without Eric being involved. We had some tech issues: Noah is only coming out of the left speaker, we will fix this for next show Noel did not have sound for the first 11 minutes of the show. I have went ahead and cut that content from the broadcast. Our stream started right away with no transition bumper, we will address this for the next show We have just one topic today which is talking about the production of the show, not many timestamps are needed.
