Many of you know that the kiwi appliance image build tool is used to produce most of openSUSE's images. But did you know that other distributions have recently adopted it too, particularly our friends in the Fedora and CentOS projects?
This presentation discusses the story of how this came to be, the methodology of encouraging growth and development, the feedback that improved kiwi in the process, and the takeaways for encouraging broader community adoption of good tools, regardless of who they're from.
