#### CNCF updates - Zoom, channel changes, and more! - Neil Smith - (1: in the video) -

Moving to Zoom for meetings, watch for changes to the channels to Discord, and more!

#### Podman 6.0 Update - Brent Baude (2: in the video)

Brent shared the design document for 6.0. Intent is Fedora 44 and the spring of 2026. Reviewed only by the Red Hatteam and he expects to broaden it more by the anyone with GitHub Access.

Removing slrpnet4ns replaced by Pasta.
CNI has also been replaced and will be removed.
cgroupsv1 will not be supported any further.
boltdb will be fully deprecated, it had notices of deprecation during Podman v5.*.

Windows 10 support will no longer be supported. We won't do anything to remove it, but support cases will be closed without a fix.

Changes to how/where the configuration files are read and used throughout Podman.

Expect postings to GitHub in then next 10 days or so.

Podman-py issues are being worked.

libkrun will be the default provider for Macs, Apple Silicon ones only. This is the same a Podman Desktop.

Changes to conmon and Pasta are also planned.

Applehv and libkrun are the providers in Apple. Name based addressing of machines is expected to arrive in Podman 6.0.

Intel mac support will likely be dropped in Podman 6.

We may combing the netavark and aardvark-dns binaries into one.

Updates for Podman machines needs updating in itself. The thought is to pull images from quay.io. Still a WIP.

WSL update strategy is being looked into as it can be a bit unpredictable at the moment.

#### Mono Repo Update - Jan Kaluza (18: in the video)

We have three libraries, storage, image and common all together into one. They now live at: https://github.com/containers/container-libs/

go.podman.io/common
go.podman.io/storage
go.podman.io/image

This will be part of Podman v5.7 and above. Skopeo 1.21 and Buildah v1.41. This change shouldn't mean anything to end users, only packagers, developers, and then for filing issues.

Jan included a blog post on the changes https://blog.podman.io/2025/08/migration-to-the-container-libs-monorepo-is-complete/

There will be tags in the repo like storage/1.5.0 so you can get particular versions.
