EPEL Hackfest
2026-01-29 , Walnut 2

Join your fellow EPEL maintainers for this hackfest all about EPEL. Here are some of the topic areas we intend to explore.

  • adding new packages to EPEL
  • patching CVEs
  • policy revisions
  • mass branching improvements
  • documentation

We'll also set aside a section of time for a general EPEL Q&A, geared specifically at helping Fedora contributors get onboarded to EPEL.

Carl George leads the EPEL team at Red Hat. He is a longtime maintainer in the Fedora and CentOS projects and contributes regularly to the broader open source ecosystem. He is a member of the EPEL Steering Committee, the Fedora Packaging Committee, and several Fedora Special Interest Groups.
