System76 to Collaborate with elementary OS Devs on the New Installer for Pop!_OS

A week ago, we reported on the progress System76 has made for their upcoming Ubuntu-based Pop!_OS GNU/Linux distribution, as well as some of the things that they're planning to implement soon.

Pop!_OS is developed on top of Canonical's Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) operating system, due for release on October 19, 2017, which means that it's of Alpha quality, so some things might not work as expected or are missing, including the installer, which System76 now wants to develop in collaboration with the elementary OS devs.

"We’ve invited elementary OS team members to come to System76 HQ the last week of August to work on a new and improved OS installer," said System76. "We look forward to collaborating with elementary OS on an installer and consider this the beginning of a healthy collaboration between the Pop!_OS and elementary OS teams."
