Red Hat ☛ Build a RHEL environment with image builder and content templates
Consistent image builds, or golden images are an important part of any standard operating environment (SOE). You need to guarantee that the software in the image remains consistent from build to build until you update your approved package set. Beyond the image, you need to be sure that your running systems are receiving the same updates as your image, so that you can maintain consistency throughout your environment. Red Hat Enterprise GNU/Linux image builder, hosted on the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console, and content templates can help you achieve that consistent environment.

Fedora Project ☛ Fedora Community Blog: Fedora at XV P.I.W.O. Poznań Free Software Fest
On Saturday May 30th 2026, the XV edition of P.I.W.O. Poznań Free Software Fest was held in Poznań, Poland.

After 2018’s XIII edition (superstition much?), it entered a long hiatus that lasted until 2025, when members of the newly-formed Knyfyrtel PoznaÅ„ Hackerspace decided to bring it back. The reactivated event proved a huge success, with the XIV edition bringing in 197 attendees. As such, ambitions for 2026 were rather big.
