This talk introduces the Fedora ARM Project and in particular the work we are doing to bring Fedora to emerging 64-bit ARM server systems.

Fedora is a popular Linux distribution on desktop and server-class systems. The Fedora ARM Project brings Fedora to ARM-powered systems - both existing 32-bit and emerging 64-bit. We are presently engaged in a full bootstrap effort to the new 64-bit architecture. This talk will include a live demonstration of Fedora running on 64-bit ARM hardware along with a detailed description of the process of bootstrapping a general purpose Linux distribution from scratch.
