Name, email, company, job title

Sinny Kumari, sinnykumari@fedoraproject.org, Red Hat, Senior Software Engineer

Project Title and description

Fedora CoreOS initial support work on aarch64

Which members of the community would benefit from your work?

Fedora CoreOS

Is the code that you’re going to run 100% open source? If so, what is the URL or URLs where it is located?

Yes, Fedora CoreOS is in early design phase and related discussion occurs at https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker. Content of Fedora CoreOS will be built from Fedora packages which are available at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/

What infrastructure (computing resources and network access) do you need? (see: https://www.packet.net/bare-metal/)?

Decent memory and CPU with nested virt capability
According to https://www.packet.net/cloud/servers/ , armv8 comes only with c1.large.arm . This should be good enough for us.

Let us know if you need short-term (one time) support, or if this is a request for
continuous ongoing support. If possible, please identify foundations or other
support organizations that can help with long-running projects.

Continuous ongoing effort
Building Fedora CoreOS is going to be a continuous effort at least till we do our first Fedora CoreOS release. Community members will need access to aarch64 machine for things like test, debug and fix aarch64 related issues.

Describe the continuous integration (CI) system in use or desired for this project.

Not at the moment

Please state your contributions to the open source community and any other relevant initiatives

I am involved with Fedora Atomic Host and worked in past on enabling Fedora Atomic Host on aarch64 and ppc64le. Also, I help in getting Fedora Atomic Two Week release out for all supported architectures(x86_64, ppc64le, aarch64)
I am also involved in Fedora CoreOS which will be successor of Fedora Atomic Host once released and work towards getting it's first release officially available.

Brag a little bit about yourself, please!
