EPEL 10 Overview
+
Carl George
+
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is a yum repository of community
+ maintained packages for use on CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
+ In EPEL 9, package maintainers were able to build against CentOS Stream 9 early
+ to have packages ready before the RHEL 9.0 launch. For EPEL 10, the EPEL Steering
+ Committee is planning on expanding that strategy to all minor versions of RHEL 10.
+ Attend this talk to learn more about this initiative and the progress towards it
+ so far.

AlmaLinux: How we automated testing without inventing the wheel and instead improving it
+
Elkhan Mammadli
+
As the AlmaLinux OS Foundation, we take the testing seriously while pioneering
+ on the speed of the delivery. When you have multiple major versions with the
+ support of multiple architecutes, testing of a GNU/Linux distribution can be
+ exhausting. One of the phase on our journey of testing was the automation. We
+ will talk about the openQA and Testinfra as the technologies choice of us, the
+ challenges we faced while adopting them and how we handled them with contributing
+ back to upstream and Enterprise Linux ecosystem.

Briging the Gap: Packit automation for CentOS and upstream projects
+
František Lachman
+
Are you a package maintainer striving for a seamless integration with upstream
+ projects? Are you an upstream project developer aiming to ensure your software
+ functions flawlessly on CentOS Stream? Look no further – Packit is your solution!
+
Since the beginning of CentOS Stream, Packit has allowed developers to execute
+ CentOS Stream RPM builds directly from their upstream changes. But that's just
+ the beginning – delve into the possibilities of running tmt-based tests on a
+ pristine virtual machine with the newly-built RPMs installed. This approach
+ enables you to identify and address potential issues as they are introduced
+ to the codebase, ensuring robust and reliable software when the new code
+ reaches the user.
+
More and more projects are using Packit to automatically synchronise upstream
+ releases to Fedora. And we are pleased to announce that the very same is now
+ available for CentOS Stream as well!
+
In this talk, we will guide you through the functionalities Packit brings
+ to the table specifically tailored for CentOS Stream. Discover how you can
+ effortlessly enhance collaboration between upstream projects and CentOS
+ Stream, fostering a more efficient and reliable development process.

+
Discuss your identity: how FreeIPA helps running CentOS community infrastructure
+
Alexander Bokovoy
+
It is time to gather a feedback!
+
CentOS Stream upstream and downstream communities rely on infrastructure bits
+ provided by FreeIPA project. Fedora uses FreeIPA since 2017, providing the shared
+ infrastructure together with the CentOS project.
+
FreeIPA team would like to hear a community feedback! At this session let us dive
+ into what is working and what could be improved in CentOS community's usage of
+ FreeIPA.

+
Packagers Meetup: Share your experience with packaging RPMs
+
Nikola Sella
+
Are you an RPM packager? Do you work with packages downstream? Do you
+ have experience with automation and build systems, or are you just
+ learning how to approach this world?
+
Whether you work with Fedora, CentOS, Enterprise solutions or other RPM
+ environments, join me to discuss the state of packaging in the domain of
+ RPM-based distributions. This will be an opportunity to connect with
+ people involved in the creation, delivery, and maintenance of packages
+ in different distributions.
+
Both beginners and experienced packagers will be able to introduce
+ themselves, share their experiences with different RPM systems, and
+ learn from each other. There is no set plan or schedule. Everybody is
+ welcome, and we will have an open discussion. Bring a topic or question
+ you would like to discuss and meet the people that work behind the spec
+ files.
