    The future of Flatpak

    [12:56] schestowitz[TR2]

    At the Linux Application Summit (LAS) in April, Sebastian Wick said that, by many metrics, Flatpak is doing great. The Flatpak application-packaging format is popular with upstream developers, and with many users. More and more applications are being published in the Flathub application store, and the format is even being adopted by Linux distributions like Fedora. However, he worried that [12:56] schestowitz[TR2] work on the Flatpak project itself had stagnated, and that there were too few developers able to review and merge code beyond basic maintenance.
