Rocky Linux -- The Successor of CentOS

Rocky Linux has been described by some people in media as the most anticipated and desired software release of the year. And since the release, our download numbers and size of the community certainly supports this notion. This talk provides a bit of past, present, and future of Rocky Linux and endeavors to share as much about the project as possible as well as what is coming.
