Fedora + Red Hat = Truly Open
We all win when it happens in public
●No big secret agenda ● Sometimes lousy communication● We're working to make that better
● Why?● Because Red Hat succeeds when Fedora does● And Fedora succeeds when Red Hat does

Goals for RHEL.next
No big secret agenda
● Composition changes for the distro●Modularity●Dependency management●Packaging updates
● Even more security
hardened
● Easy to update from
release to release
● Automated composition

Goals for RHEL.next
A few specific technical areas so far: NOT

● IPV6 through the stack
● Python3
