## What is Universal Blue?

The Universal Blue project builds custom Fedora Atomic images via OCI/Docker containers. This is a feature that is not yet in mainline Fedora. One of the reasons the project was started was to test and validate this method of distribution and modification as a way to experiment with this new model to see if it is viable.

The project also publishes a diverse set of base images and tooling for users to develop their own custom images.

We will also cover how the project plans to accelerate "Fedora Strategy 2028".
