Talk: Fedora on Windows Subsystems for Linux
Presenter: Seth Jennings

Description:
When the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) a.k.a "Bash for Windows" was first launched, it was hard coded to use an Ubuntu userspace. There was no easy way to change this. However, Microsoft recently announced that Fedora would soon be among the Linux distributions accessible via the Windows Store. This talk will discuss the technical aspects of WSL, the launcher framework, and how the Fedora userspace is being packaged to run in this environment.
