What is your proposal?

We are working on a Fedora Objective about saving packagers’ time with an automation related to building of their packages. That includes but not limited to automatic rebuild of packages on dependency changes, removing manual work on writing changelog both in spec and later in git and doing release bumps on rebuilds.

The talk will be split into 3 smaller parts:

• Presenting Objective to the audience
• Comparing workflow of Fedora packagers with other distributions with demo
• Discussing the objective with audience and asking for a feedback

This talk is about presenting our ideas of how to improve the quality of life for packagers (the lifeblood of our distribution) and getting feedback (in a panel-ish form) about how to further refine and improve the packaging and maintenance experience. This is becoming increasingly important as the way we deliver software is increasing in complexity with things like modules and flatpaks and whatnot.

Who in addition to the speaker needs to be in the room for this to succeed? This could be the audience you need to reach, other participants in the conversation, or other stakeholders.

Anything else we need to know?

We will be using a laptop to present and do a demonstration, so a projector and wired networking for our demo to work would be very helpful.
