## 11 Sep 2026
## Attendees
- Laura Santamaria (Red Hat)
- Hristo Marinov
- John Eckersberg
- Chris Kyrouac (Red Hat LLC)
- Harshwardhan Patil
- Mohan Shash
- Dusty Mabe
## Agenda
- [name=John] 1.16.12 Release out! Go give it a shot
- Note: If you're in Fedora, the beta is shipping Tuesday and we are in freeze, so you won't find bootc there. If you're in a derivative from those branches, same thing. If you're on another image such as from bootcrew, that's up to you!
- Some folks have started testing in the wild :)
- Events!
- CNCF
- KCDs, Cloud Native Days, and DevOpsDays
- [name=Mohan] any updates on the bootc based images naming convention issues
- TL;DR: Tooling names seem to be fine as long as it isn't marketing-related. So if you name an image with the toolchain used to build it or where it's targeted (e.g., `fedora-bootc-base`, `ubuntu-bootc-base`, `debian-bootc-base`), that seems to be okay from what we can tell.
