 is building on Fedora Atomic the future?\n\n## What is Universal Blue?\n\n
 The Universal Blue project builds custom Fedora Atomic images via OCI/Dock
 er containers. This is a feature that is not yet in mainline Fedora. One o
 f the reasons the project was started was to test and validate this method
  of distribution and modification as a way to experiment with this new mod
 el to see if it is viable. \n\nThe project also publishes a diverse set of
  base images and tooling for users to develop their own custom images.\n\n
 We will also cover how the project plans to accelerate "Fedora Strategy 20
 28". \n\n## Why should you come to this talk?\n\nIf you enjoy the followin
 g:\n\n- See what is possible when using Fedora Atomic.\n- Lessons learned 
 from Universal Blue that would be beneficial to the Fedora project:\n  - T
 ooling lessons\n  - Community patterns that we have observed\n  - Recommen

DESCRIPTION:Collecting data for monitoring and observability is fundamental
  to modern systems design. We want this data to be relevant and the impact
  of collecting this data to be as small as possible. The eBPF subsystem of
  the Linux kernel has proven to be the tool of choice of collecting such d
 ata.\nWhile eBPF programs can be extremely powerful\, they require a speci
 alized domain of knowledge to write and implement. This talk will give a h
 igh-level introduction to eBPF and introduce Inspektor Gadget\, an open-so
 urce framework that makes eBPF accessible to everyone by providing off-the
 -shelf eBPF programs packaged in OCI images which we call Gadgets. We will
  share how Inspektor Gadget “supercharges” eBPF by providing additiona
 l functionality to enrich\, process and export data. We will demonstrate h
 ow end users can leverage eBPF using a diverse set of “gadgets.” And w
 e will show how eBPF programmers can use the Inspektor Gadget framework to
  neatly package their programs to share across the community.

DESCRIPTION:We have made substantial strides towards improving Fedora's qua
 lity and reliability through automated testing in recent years. Critical p
 ath updates are gated on extensive integration tests in openQA\, and many 
 packages have opted into gating on sanity and functionality tests via Fedo
 ra CI. dist-git commits can also be tested for buildability\, installabili
 ty and functionality via Fedora CI. However\, there are still some substan
 tial opportunities for improvement. Gating on installability could be enfo
 rced distribution-wide for packages that are in the critical compose path.
  The same could be done for reverse dependency testing\, with some improve
 ments to the testing itself. There are also many opportunities to improve 
 testing and gating of compose inputs like comps\, kickstarts\, and other c
 onfiguration elements\, and of changes like package retirements that can a
 lso cause unexpected consequences. This talk will present ideas\, plans an

DESCRIPTION:Managing enterprise Linux mobile endpoints (usually laptops) at
  scale can be difficult using the existing tools made for managing Cloud a
 nd Server systems. While there are many commercial and open source tools a
 vailable intended to manage Windows and MacOS mobile endpoints\, there are
  very few for Linux mobile management. I've also discovered that managing 
 a fleet of Linux laptops doesn't follow the traditional Linux management w
 orkflow. I will talk about issues my team has encountered\, and how we hav
 e leveraged Ansible and cloud services to solve our problems. \n\nWe have 
 seen great strides in usability and performance of many Linux distribution
 s on modern laptop hardware\, and there are benefits in using an Open Sour
 ce operating system on company devices. However\, Linux laptops often oper
 ate outside a locked-down managed network\, and the devices still need to 
 manage access\, perform software updates\, identify and address security i
 ssues\, as well as self-repair. As more employees work from home\, there i
 s very little guarantee that the managed Linux device will be attached to 
 a corporate network anymore\, so we need to re-think how we apply a manage
 d infrastructure to mobile Linux endpoints. We need to have the ability to
  apply automation\, auditing and account management to remote endpoints in
  a secure manner\, and not expose the internal company resources to the pu
 blic internet. Ansible is a powerful tool used to manage systems at scale\
 , but tools like Ansible Automation Platform tend to rely on a highly mana
 ged networking infrastructure. We will demonstrate how Ansible can still b
 e used to manage Linux mobile endpoints.\n\nThis talk should explain what 
 to consider when managing Linux workstations for remote or traveling emplo
 yees. We will discuss some of the technology we used and how we are changi
 ng the way we manage Linux laptops. We'll also discuss some of the possibl
 e ways modern tools might make this easier in the future.

DESCRIPTION:In the changing landscape of the AI era\, where algorithms wiel
 d unprecedented influence across industries and societies\, the imperative
  for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) becomes ever more pronounced
 . This talk embarks on a journey to explore the intersection of AI and DEI
 \, delving into the multifaceted dimensions of this critical discourse.\n\
 nAs AI technologies increasingly permeate our daily lives\, there is a pre
 ssing need to interrogate their impact on marginalized communities and und
 errepresented groups. We navigate through the complexities of AI bias\, sh
 edding light on how inherent biases in training data and algorithmic decis
 ion-making processes can perpetuate systemic inequalities and reinforce ex
 isting power dynamics.\n\nHowever\, amidst these challenges lie opportunit
 ies for transformative change. We uncover innovative approaches and best p
 ractices for fostering diversity in AI development teams\, promoting equit
 able access to AI technologies\, and centering inclusivity in algorithmic 
 decision-making processes. From community-driven co-design methodologies t
 o algorithmic auditing frameworks\, we illuminate the pathways towards bui
 lding AI systems that reflect the richness of human diversity and advance 
 social justice objectives.\n\nThrough a synthesis of theoretical insights\
 , empirical evidence\, and real-world case studies\, this talk seeks to in
 spire a paradigm shift in how we conceive and operationalize DEI in the AI
  era. By harnessing the power of AI as a force for positive social change\
 , we can collectively chart a course towards a more equitable and inclusiv
 e future for all.

DESCRIPTION:Back in 2022\, I introduced [ebranch at CentOS Dojo](https://ww
 w.youtube.com/watch?v=VjPZmq_h2Rk) - a tool to make branching Fedora packa
 ges to EPEL easier\, by computing the transitive graph of missing dependen
 cies and\, later on\, providing helper commands for tracking branch reques
 ts and escalating stalled requests.\n\nThe original dependency resolution 
 functionality was written specifically to handle comparing Fedora and EL +
  EPEL repositories\, but there are other use cases that can be tackled by 
 a more general tool - e.g. packaging new Rust crates (or upgrading existin
 g ones) - as the [rust-update-set](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/pyth
 on-rust-update-set) proof of concept does - or tracking dependencies and d
 ependent packages (as [poi-tracker](https://pagure.io/michel-slm/poi-track
 er) does).\n\nI'm now therefore working on a common dependency graph libra
 ry that can support multiple repository formats - leveraging existing tool
 s such as [fedrq](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedrq) and [cargo2rpm
 ](https://pagure.io/fedora-rust/cargo2rpm). Do come and provide your feedb
 ack if this is something you find useful.

DESCRIPTION:CentOS Stream is a Linux distribution built by Red Hat Enterpri

 n the OS happens in Fedora. CentOS Stream provides a solid base for innova
 tion on top of an OS. Many CentOS Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are build
 ing on and extending it in all sorts of interesting ways without needing t
 o reinvent the wheel.\n\nThe source\, the builds\, the release\, it all ha
 ppens in the open. And because it's what's coming to RHEL\, not a rebuild 
 of what's already been there\, you can contribute as well.\n\nWe've had Ce
 ntOS Stream around for over three years now. Recently we've retired CentOS
  Stream 8\, our first release that reached its end of life\, and got a pre
 -release of CentOS Stream 10 out!\n\nWe've learned a lot on the way\, many
  things have changed\, and we keep working on making it better every day. 
 We introduced release tests\, and we're looking at contribution guidelines
  and even at accepting external 3rd-party test results to ensure CentOS St
 ream works well for all sorts of use cases.\n\nCome and learn about what's
  new\, what's coming\, how to get involved both directly and through CentO
 S SIGs.

DESCRIPTION:A typical Active Directory or FreeIPA deployment assumes strong
  trust between the domain controllers and client systems enrolled into the
  domain. Kerberos configuration\, machine credentials\, TLS certificates a
 nd their CA chains are unique to each environment and not all this informa
 tion can be made public as a part of a generally available image. Addition
 al packages need to be present in the image to make sure enrollment is suc
 cesfull as well. On-demand domain enrollment\, adjustment of the configura
 tions to enable use of single sign-on services\, and many other features p
 rovided by traditional Fedora don't work well with Silverblue images.\n\nT
 his talk is an investigation on what is needed to adjust Samba\, FreeIPA\,
  and SSSD clients to work properly with CoreOS/Silverblue-based deployment
 s. It is based on a 1.5 year experiment of running own automatically rebas
 ed Silverblue images for a FreeIPA client in custom domain environment.

DESCRIPTION:Hello everyone! About a year ago\, we introduced our release sy
 ncing automation for Fedora. But that was just the start! The most importa
 nt part was the feedback we got when we began getting people on board to s
 tart using this automation. \n\nAs we started with onboarding\, we realize
 d there was more to do than just getting new users. We have been collabora
 ting with packagers\, fixing bugs\, adding missing elements\, and polishin
 g our documentation. And besides tweaking the automation for Fedora\, we h
 ave been lately working on doing the same for CentOS Stream to bring the s
 ame simplification for the maintainers there. We've learned a lot\, and th
 e journey isn't over – with more users\, we're still figuring out how to
  prioritize feature requests and bug fixes. But we enjoy every bit of it. 
 \n\nThis talk will dive into our journey – the challenges\, victories\, 
 and everything in between. We'll compare then-and-now in Fedora's release 
 automation\, showing the improved cool features and progress that has been
  made\, allowing even more packagers to use our automation. And of course\
 , it doesn’t stop here. We will also discuss our plans for future enhanc
 ements\, including the work on release syncing to CentOS Stream\, validati
 on of new version updates\, as well as our efforts to make the release pro
 cess even easier for maintainers. If you're curious about our experience\,

 reated the ebpf-sig group just recently\nin order promote ebpf usage and o
 ne of our first work topics has been to add\na self contained change to ha
 ve bpfman available.\n\nbpfman\, serves as a pivotal tool in this domain. 
 It simplifies eBPF\napplication deployment and management. While it also w
 orks with Kubernetes\nclusters\, offering a Custom Resource (CR) operator 
 for streamlined\noperations the Fedora package aims to serve as a simple t
 ool to not only\ndeploy but to orchestrate secure ebpf programs.\n\nOur pr
 esentation will delve into bpfman's evolution\, stemming from the Rust\nli
 brary Aya for eBPF development. We'll explore practical aspects like\ndepl
 oying applications\, and how the user experience is greatly enhanced in\nc
 omparison to current available tools.\n\nSecurity concerns surrounding eBP
 F application\, SELinux and eBPF token will\nbe addressed\, along with ins
 ights into integration challenges and ongoing\ncollaborative efforts withi
 n the ebpf and the rust sig-groups in Fedora.\n\nNotably\, eBPF's adoption
  by industry giants like Google\, Netflix\, Shopify\,\nand Cloudflare unde
 rscores its relevance\, prompting an insightful discussion\non its orchest
 ration in Fedora and Kubernetes.

DESCRIPTION:"Reproducible Builds" mean the build process is fully determini
 stic: given a build definition\, anyone can independently repeat the build
  on their own system and get an identical result.\n\nTwo reasons why this 
 is useful:\n- independent rebuilds increase trust in the build infrastruct
 ure\,\n- development is easier. Checking for reproducibility exposes vario
 us bugs\, for example packaged temporary files or noarch packages with fil
 e paths dependent on the architecture.\n\nThis talk will discuss:\n- chang
 es to the build tools like rpm\n- changes to build configuration\, for exa
 mple clamping of mtimes to `$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`\n- fixes in packages to no
 t introduce randomness in any build artifacts\n- post-build cleanups done 
 to normalize non-deterministic bits (static libraries\, Python pyc files\,
  Java jar and javadoc files)\n- F41 Change to introduce a general post-bui
 ld cleanup tool\n\nIf we fix general issues that affect broad classes of p
 ackages\, we expect build reproducibility for 80+% of packages. The goal i
 s to have 100% of packages reproducible. We'll discuss the current state a
 nd what needs to be done.

  align with the Fedora Project council's strategy of ensuring everyone has
  a mentor and is a mentor themselves.\n\nOnce again\, for this upcoming me
 ntorship summit\, I propose a "Panel Discussion." Such discussions offer a
 n excellent platform to delve into various mentorship-related topics. \n\n
 Here are some suggested discussion points:\nThe Importance of Mentorship: 
 Highlighting why mentorship is vital for all members of the community and 
 its potential impact on Fedora or any open-source community.\nEffective Me
 ntorship Strategies: Exploring different approaches for establishing fruit
 ful mentor-mentee relationships\, including matching\, goal-setting\, and 
 regular communication.\nMentoring through different mediums: Examining how
  technology has influenced mentorship programs\, including virtual mentori
 ng and online resources\, along with their advantages and challenges.\nDiv
 ersity and Inclusion in Mentorship: Emphasizing the significance of divers
 ity and inclusion in mentorship and strategies for promoting them within p
 rograms.\nMentorship Goals: Discussing the expected outcomes of mentorship
 \, such as aiding mentees in community understanding\, network-building\, 
 and skill development.\nMentorship Metrics and Evaluation: Exploring metho
 ds for measuring the effectiveness of mentorship programs and assessing th
 eir impact.\nMentorship Beyond the Community: Considering opportunities fo
 r mentorship outside the Fedora community and the benefits of extending me
 ntorship initiatives.\nOvercoming Challenges in Mentorship: Addressing com
 mon obstacles in mentorship relationships and proposing strategies to over
 come them.\nEncouraging Participation in Mentorship: Discussing ways in wh
 ich existing mentors and mentees can inspire other community members to en
 gage in mentorship programs.

DESCRIPTION:With the increased awareness of inequality\, law regressions\, 
 and the push to improve diversity and inclusion in Free Software\, events 
 and DEI are becoming an important topic among organizers and communities a
 nd a source of discontent from some marginalized groups. In order to explo
 re these challenges\, this interactive workshop will dive into applying sa
 mple policies on various scenarios\, such as determining event locations a
 nd decision-making for funding community-led events. Participants will exp
 erience the difficulties associated with creating equitable policies and b
 e inspired to craft unique solutions while keeping the practical on-the-gr
 ound logistics in mind. Join this workshop to learn\, broaden your perspec
 tive\, and help shape the future of Fedora community events and (hopefully
 ) beyond.

DESCRIPTION:EPEL 10 is expected to launch in November or December of this y
 ear\, a few months after Flock.  EPEL 10 will be different than previous v
 ersions of EPEL because it will target individual minor versions in order 
 to better integrate with CentOS Stream.  There are many things that need w
 ork in order to make this vision a reality.  During this hackfest\, we'll 
 work together on several of these items.  This could include work on:\n\n-
  koji\n- bodhi\n- mirrormanager\n- ansible playbooks\n- fedpkg\n- mock\n\n
 If we happen to have most of these pieces working prior to the hackfest\, 
 we can pivot our time to adding an initial set of packages to EPEL 10.

DESCRIPTION:Historically\, Fedora has been the only top ten Linux distribut
 ion missing a significant chunk of multimedia software mostly due to FFmpe
 g being excluded from the distribution for legal reasons. With the introdu
 ction of a limited build of FFmpeg in February 2022\, that changed. \n\nLe
 ss than a year later\, a number of previously forbidden codecs have been a
 pproved for inclusion in Fedora. Following these events\, Fedora saw an in
 flux of multimedia-related packages. While much progress has been made\, t
 here are still over 200 packages in a popular third party repository that 
 could potentially be moved to Fedora.\n\nDuring this hackfest\, we will:\n
 \n1. find eligible packages from a popular third party repository\,\n2. tr
 y to build them using only Fedora repositories\,\n3. attempt to fix any is
 sues we encounter and\n4. submit selected packages for review and inclusio
 n in Fedora.\n\nLet's close that multimedia gap!
