Ok so I got some advice on the naming stuff

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:20 PM

and how to align the bootc/universal blue thing

antheas•9/28/25, 10:21 PM

i was thinking of names for where i'd like to go with supply chain issues

antheas•9/28/25, 10:21 PM

the name i came up with is fortified core images

antheas•9/28/25, 10:22 PM

ie you get the core thats immutable and safe, then the rest is swappable

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:22 PM

I think ubuntu just renamed theirs to something like this?

antheas•9/28/25, 10:22 PM

well windows uses secured core

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:22 PM

I was going to align it with the other cncf projects around reference architectures. But that would be different from what you're naming

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:22 PM

"Bluefin is a reference architecture for bootc."

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:23 PM

"Secureblue is a reference architecture for bootc"

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:23 PM

and so on

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:23 PM

which is just marketing for "they take a bunch of things and bundle them together"

AfterStory•9/28/25, 10:31 PM

Makes sense considering the start of the project.

AfterStory•9/28/25, 10:33 PM

It's also nice that on the bootc adopters.md, they don't mention anything about based on fedora and etc

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:38 PM

fedora is in there

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:38 PM

which is funny to me but whatever

AfterStory•9/28/25, 10:38 PM

I mean there is fedora core-os right?

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:42 PM

yeah, but I don't think they've switched it over yet? I know they are very soon, was thinking for F43?

AfterStory•9/28/25, 10:48 PM

@j0rge so its the idea to move to something like this:

Bluefin is a cloud‑native, opinionated reference implementation for Bootc that ships a polished, low‑maintenance desktop and developer workstation. Bluefin is intended for users who want a reliable, near‑zero‑maintenance desktop and for developers who want integrated cloud‑native workflows.

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:51 PM

no this is more for the readme and stuff

j0rgeOP•9/28/25, 10:51 PM

in the marketing it'll stay the same

j0rgeOP•9/29/25, 12:06 PM

it's reference architecture though, I'll work off your text

j0rgeOP•9/29/25, 12:07 PM

this is much better

AfterStory•9/29/25, 2:38 PM

I was between saying implementation and distribution. but since distro was so charged that I choose implementation. Not using architecture is more because to me architecture seems like something that only exist's on paper. Bluefin works it made a architecture, implementation and distribute a model on top of bootc.

j0rgeOP•9/29/25, 4:35 PM

I think I'll do the paper tho

antheas•9/29/25, 4:52 PM

Do a whitepaper

antheas•9/29/25, 4:52 PM

Then mint a shit coin as well

j0rgeOP•9/29/25, 4:52 PM

gotta do what I gotta do lol
