EPEL hackfest
2025-06-07 , Topaz

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.
