# Atomic SIG

The purpose of the Atomic SIG is to explore atomic Linux technologies like bootc, to develop a modern AlmaLinux-based immutable desktop system, and to enable others to build upon our tooling. In short, the purpose of this SIG is to expand AlmaLinux's role in the atomic desktop space.

# How to Join

Joining is easy! You can show up to a meeting, pick up an issue from the list by assigning it to yourself, or ask questions in chat! Not every contributor wants to be a part of the SIG, but if you do, joining is simple.

Where we chat

We use Mattermost (opens new window) for communication.

Where and when we meet

We do not currently hold regular meetings, but work asynchronously in Mattermost to accomplish our goals.

# Activities, projects, and deliverables

  • Base desktop bootc image and ISO installer based on Cloud SIG (opens new window)'s bootc images starting with AlmaLinux 10.
  • Templates/automation/examples to guide downstream extension/customization of the base image
  • A workstation distribution that is opinionated, modern, and polished, based on the previous deliverables

# Help wanted

Contributions take all kinds of shapes and sizes, and we welcome everyone! If you have expertise or time and would like to help us out, please get in touch!

# SIG members

# Additional information for SIG application approval

We hope to be able to start quickly and have at least the base image ready by Q3 2025.

We will require the creation of:

  • An Atomic SIG channel on chat.almalinux.org
  • Several git repositories under an AlmaLinux namespace at GitHub
  • Several OCI repositories under an AlmaLinux namespace at DockerHub and Quay.io
  • (Optional) Access to openQA (opens new window) to test our images before release
