[tormath1]

we recently merged Ignition-v3 spec in Alpha and added Flatcar support to coreos/butane - we could quickly showcase an example. (luks for example)

[tormath1]

asked on IRC channel if some Butane developers want to join to introduce the tool and / or just say "hello" :)

[tormath1]

prepared a quick config for demo purposes and uploaded an asciinema demo in case of demo bad luck.
@bgilbert if you still interested to join, would you like to cover a butane introduction (history, etc.) ? :)

[bgilbert]

Sure, I can talk a bit.

@krnowak volunteered to introduce our Flatcar/Gentoo version differences report.

Update: Krzesimir can't make it, let's do this in the May call.

While we don't have a blog post yet, I wanted to hint on the new docs for systemd-sysext and that it can be used now on Flatcar Alpha/Beta instead of Torcx or plain binaries in /opt/bin: https://www.flatcar.org/docs/latest/provisioning/sysext/

Added an item for our new project board.
