**May 12-13, 2026 | Atlanta, GA**

**Speakers:** Stef Walter & Scott McCarty

At Red Hat Summit 2026, Stef Walter and I introduced Fedora Hummingbird Linux — a new Linux for Builders.

## Abstract

With more software being written faster than ever — driven by AI-assisted development — the security landscape is changing. More software means more CVEs and faster time to exploit. Fedora Hummingbird Linux is a rolling release built by the Hummingbird "lights-out" factory, featuring the Always Ready Kernel (ARK), upstream-stable software versions, and a frictionless path from free to supported. In this session, we cover the state of software in 2026, the Hummingbird factory's agentic build pipeline, and the vision for a unified product matrix that gives Builders three simple choices: fast or stable, image or packages, free or supported.
