Agenda for the Flatcar Developer Sync on Wednesday, 23th of September 2026, 2:30pm UTC

[LexiNadolski]

In our monthly Flatcar developer syncs maintainers review development / roadmap progress, discuss special projects like OS composability, secure / trusted boot, vendor support, and CNCF incubation status. We provide an overview of ongoing work, give an outlook of future work, and plan the next release.

Join if you're curious about current or future Flatcar development and/or to raise visibility of a feature, bug, or PR.
