MRG 1-6

Open source thrives on collaboration and shared ideas - especially in operating systems. Flatcar Container Linux embodies this ethos as a minimal, auto-updating distro built for security, stability, and simplicity. But how do you move from simply running Flatcar on clusters to actively shaping it? In this talk, we’ll illuminate that path. Discover how to dive into OS code (even if OS/kernel-level work is new to you), identify ideal “first issues,” and explore the most interesting areas to contribute to. Whether you’re a veteran or just curious about hacking on an OS, join us and become part of Flatcar’s growing family - because in open source, we all build the future together. Finally, use the space to bounce around ideas and discuss on improving the project even further.
