The story so far...

DeBoot reached the following milestones in its development:

• 2022 Q4: Hackathon Concept: demonstration of a minimum viable DeBoot technique.
• 2023 Q2: x86-64 Proof-of-Concept: DeBoot technique for x86-64 architecture, on VM and Baremetal. link
• 2023 Q3: aarch64 Support: DeBoot technique for aarch64 architecture, on VM and Baremetal. link
• 2023 Q4: Security Model Proposal: an exploration of bootstrapping bare metal host infrastructure, and definition of a trust-oriented security model for provisioning and package management. link
• 2024 Q1: Enhanced UX: refinement of the build and boot processes, and creation of a user guide for the DeBoot technique

Upcoming Projects
