-# **Reproducible and multi-signed**
-
-All packages provided by StageX are built deterministically
-
-All packages are reproduced by multiple developers to ensure their integrity
-
-All packages are signed by well-known PGP keys after being successfully reproduced
+<!-- Speaker notes
+In this example, note how we are only pulling in Rust and the dependencies
+required to invoke Rust. We don't include anything extra, which reduces the
+attack surface when compiling software.

-# **OCI images**
+# All packages in StageX are:
 
-StageX uses an open standard for images in order to allow the use of different container runtimes
+* Built using hash-locked sources
+* Confirmed reproducible by multiple developers
+* Signed by multiple release maintainers
 
-OCI images makes StageX portable and easy to reproduce on all AMD based systems
+<!-- Speaker notes
+To ensure StageX remains a secure toolchain, there's some additional
+maintenance that is performed compared to most distributions. This includes:
 
-The only available target at the moment is AMD.
+* Built using hash-locked sources. This ensures every developer gets the exact
+  same copy of the code for each container, so no middleman could inject
+  malware, which helps with:
+* Reproducing projects, ensuring they're built deterministically. This confirms
+  that no single developer, nor their machine, have been compromised. Once each
+  package is confirmed, they are...
+* Signed by the release maintainers. These maintainers each build a copy of the
+  package locally and sign the containers with an OCI-compliant signature using
+  well-known OpenPGP keys.

-# **Common open source software**
+# OCI Images
 
-StageX supports 100+ packages, with a focus on supporting software commonly used by developers
+<!--
+  Put some kind of graphic here to explain the association between images
+  and multisig
+-->
 
-Some of the currently available packages include: `curl`, `rust`, `git`, `go`, `bash`, `tofu`...
+<!--
+StageX uses the Open Container Initiative standard for images to support the
+use of multiple container runtimes. Because OCI images can be signed using
+OpenPGP keys, this allows the association of built images to signatures, which
+can enable developers to build their software using StageX, without having to
+build the entire StageX toolchain for themselves.

+
+# Common toolchain dependencies
+
+StageX comes with developer-loved tooling and languages, such as:
+
+* `rust`
+* `go`
+* `python`
+* `curl`
+* `git`
+
+<!-- TODO: Add end-user software like tofu, stagex, ocismack, kubectl, etc. -->
 
 If you are interested in additionally software being added feel free to open a PR or let us know what you would like to see added.

+# Pallets
+
+StageX offers prebuilt containers including all the packages necessary to run
+some of our most used software, such as:
+
+* `kubectl`, `kustomize`, `helm`
+* `keyfork`
+* `nginx`
+* `redis`
+* `postgres`

 # **Full source bootstrapped from Stage 0**
 
 The StageX compiler and all libraries necessary to build software are themselves fully bootstrapped and deterministic
