bootc has transformed how we can consume operating systems.
+Where does this leave the "enterprise workstation"? + There may not me a lot of us, but we have some great use cases that need to be filled. + Join me as I go over "Bluefin LTS" - a CentOS based workstation. + Can it compete with it's Fedora cousins? Can we have our cake and eat it to? + Stability AND freshness?
+In this talk we'll go over the lessons learned from building a desktop for + cloud native developers and some of the feedback we've received. + (There's some good eatin' over here.)
+ - title: "Proposed Updates SIG: Bridging the Gap between development and production" + slides: https://gitlab.com/CentOS/promo/centos-events/-/raw/main/2025-04-showcase/cpu-sig.pdf + youtube: DK1_UwaNvGU + speakers: + - name: Michel Lind + - name: Jonathan Write + desc: | +CentOS Stream is especially suited for production deployments. + In these environments it's often common to develop improvements to + distribution packages and want to contribute them upstream. + Unfortunately, until very recently that required one to then maintain their + own build and deployment pipeline for the packages, at least until the changes + made their way into the distribution.
+CentOS Proposed Updates (CPU) SIG aims to bridge this gap - + changes that have been submitted as merge requests can be built in this SIG, + providing those who run Stream in production with access to needed updates + while they make their way into CentOS Stream. + We hope this will help increase collaboration between RHEL engineers, + CentOS Stream contributors, and the rebuild community as well, + especially those that have distributions derived from CentOS Stream directly + (such as AlmaLinux with AlmaLinux OS Kitten), as everyone can focus on making + improvements without reinventing their own build pipelines.
+ - title: "RPM Copy-on-write" + youtube: YMR2-PMx-Kc + speakers: + - name: Matteo Croce + desc: | + RPM CoW (Copy-on-Write) leverages filesystem reflink capabilities to perform + package installations with minimal I/O overhead. + This significantly reduces disk usage, speeds up deployment, and frees space + due to the deduplication. + This method integrates seamlessly with modern filesystems that support reflinks, + such as XFS and Btrfs. + - title: "Building AutoSD images for the Automotive industry" + slides: https://gitlab.com/CentOS/promo/centos-events/-/raw/main/2025-04-showcase/autosd.pdf + youtube: YXqJTtNIIYc + speakers: + - name: Leonardo Rossetti + desc: | + I would like to share how the CentOS Automotive SIG builds its images for + the automotive industry (aka AutoSD - Automotive Stream Distribution), + the reasons behind doing it this way while introducing the tool that does + it all: automotive-image-builder. --- -CentOS Showcase is a half-day virtual event that showcases -the work happening in the CentOS ecosystem. -It features short talks focusing on CentOS Stream, the CentOS SIGs, -and various projects that build on the work done in CentOS. +CentOS Showcase is a half-day virtual event that showcases the work +happening in the CentOS ecosystem.
