@sgallagh The CfP Committee likes this concept a lot and would like to see very clear plans for the lessons in the workshop, or perhaps, to see it broken down into a couple of workshops with targeted missions.

My team is working on materials preparation and should hopefully have some initial plans available this week. CCing @langdon @asamalik

We have just talked about this workshop over IRC and the result is:

We want to do a kind of "technical semi-hands-on BoF" where we would discuss real-life modules people would bring to the table — talking about the modular architecture, best practises, or even corner cases. The goal of this session will be giving people enough confidence to start making alternative versions/streams of packages/modules in Fedora, knowing how to approach common problems (or a new ones we discover), and where to find (or ask for) more info.

As a side goal, we will record all questions and answers, and use that to enhance the Modularity documentation — so that everyone else can benefit from the outcome of this session.

We believe that having this as a scheduled session with all the people in one room would yield better answers and ideas. The goal is not to tell people what to do, but to discuss topics as a group and possibly coming up with new patterns/practises/ideas.

Agenda:

1. The very basics of module creation — so everyone is on the same page (10 mins).
2. Discussing real-world scenarios people would bring to the table. (100 mins)
3. Wrap up, making sure all questions have been recorded— we'd use this later to enhance our documentation. (10 mins)
