In our session, we'll navigate the challenges of evolving software behavior without causing disruptions across different distributions. We'll delve into best practices and strategies that ensure seamless transitions, drawing on real-world use cases to illustrate effective approaches. Whether you're a seasoned developer or an open-source enthusiast, this discussion aims to provide valuable insights into maintaining project stability while embracing necessary changes. || https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2921-adapting-your-project-making-changes-without-breaking-linux-distributions/

As blind software engineers, we believe we can bring a unique perspective to this essential endeavor. We'll explore the challenges faced by blind users when using the Linux desktop environment, with a focus on constructive solutions. We will discuss two main topics: lack of preinstalled assistive technologies and accessibility problems of basic components of desktop environments. || https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2949-enhancing-linux-accessibility-a-unified-approach/

It consists of a new Keycloak plugin and a bridge service to access the identity providers (FreeIPA/AD/LDAP). The bridge project, ipa-tuura, is based on the SCIMv2 API and provides an improved integration for classic directory services to cloud environments with an easy deployment. The bridge can also be used in a variety of different scenarios, from migration to synchronization of identities across different providers. || https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2618-ipa-tuura-freeipa-connector-for-keycloak/

While openSUSE is built entirely using the Open Build Service, Fedora relies on a variety of tools to perform specific tasks of building a full Linux distribution. Both distributions have stood the test of time, and both approaches work for the most part fine for their communities. Yet, the question remains: is one of the approaches better than the other? And what are the advantages and drawbacks for the various contributor roles? The talk answers these and other burning questions and reveals the hidden weaknesses of both setups. || https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2945-the-monolith-versus-the-swarm-a-comparison-of-opensuse-s-and-fedora-s-build-infrastructures/

Image builder supports the Fedora, CentOS Stream, and RHEL distributions for a host of target platforms such as bare metal, QEMU, vSphere and cloud platforms like AWS, Azure and Google cloud. It can build rpm ostree based images or "plain" dnf. It is shipped in a variety of ways: as a CLI tool, a cockpit plugin or a hosted service. We will take a look at the basic concepts, some of the features, and a new initiative targeted towards the Fedora community. || https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2678-an-introduction-to-image-builder-building-up-to-date-customised-operating-system-images-the-easy-way/

Order Name Date Time (CET) Speaker(s) Track/DevRoom Description URL
1 Orchestrating eBPF Applications in Kubernetes and Fedora Sat, 3 Feb 15:40 – 16:10 Daniel Mellado, Dave Tucker Containers During our discussion, we will delve into the developmental journey of bpfd, tracing its origins from Aya, a Rust library designed for eBPF development. Our exploration will extend to practical aspects such as leveraging the operator, deploying applications, and understanding how Fedora elevates the user experience as a host. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-1745-orchestrating-ebpf-applications-in-kubernetes-and-fedora/
2 Adapting Your Project: Making Changes Without Breaking Linux Distributions Sun, 4 Feb 10:00 - 10:25 Fernando Fernandez Mancera Distributions As a member of the NetworkManager team, I understand the impact that changes in a free software project's behavior can have on various setups and environments, especially within the diverse landscape of Linux distributions. In our session, we'll navigate the challenges of evolving software behavior without causing disruptions across different distributions. We'll delve into best practices and strategies that ensure seamless transitions, drawing on real-world use cases to illustrate effective approaches. Whether you're a seasoned developer or an open-source enthusiast, this discussion aims to provide valuable insights into maintaining project stability while embracing necessary changes. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2921-adapting-your-project-making-changes-without-breaking-linux-distributions/
3 Enhancing Linux Accessibility: A Unified Approach Sun, 4 Feb 10:30 - 11:25 Vojtech Polasek, Lukáš Tyrychtr Distributions Join us for a discussion aimed at supporting Linux distribution developers in enhancing accessibility. As blind software engineers, we believe we can bring a unique perspective to this essential endeavor. We'll explore the challenges faced by blind users when using the Linux desktop environment, with a focus on constructive solutions. We will discuss two main topics: lack of preinstalled assistive technologies and accessibility problems of basic components of desktop environments. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2949-enhancing-linux-accessibility-a-unified-approach/
4 Ipa-tuura: FreeIPA connector for Keycloak Sun, 4 Feb 12:00 - 12:30 Alexander Bokovoy, Francisco Triviño García Identity & Access Management The FreeIPA and SSSD teams have collaborated on a project to enable Keycloak to get a unified access for users and groups in FreeIPA/LDAP/Active Directory. It consists of a new Keycloak plugin and a bridge service to access the identity providers (FreeIPA/AD/LDAP). The bridge project, ipa-tuura, is based on the SCIMv2 API and provides an improved integration for classic directory services to cloud environments with an easy deployment. The bridge can also be used in a variety of different scenarios, from migration to synchronization of identities across different providers. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2618-ipa-tuura-freeipa-connector-for-keycloak/
5 mkosi-initrd: Building initrds out of distribution packages Sun, 4 Feb 12:30 - 12:55 Daan De Meyer, Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek Distributions In this talk, we'll present mkosi-initrd, a project to build initrds out of distribution packages using mkosi, systemd's image builder sister project. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2888-mkosi-initrd-building-initrds-out-of-distribution-packages/
6 The Monolith versus the Swarm - A Comparison of openSUSE’s and Fedora’s Build Infrastructures Sun, 4 Feb 13:00 - 13:25 Dan Čermák Distributions Even though openSUSE and Fedora are both RPM-based Linux distributions, their respective infrastructures differ significantly. While openSUSE is built entirely using the Open Build Service, Fedora relies on a variety of tools to perform specific tasks of building a full Linux distribution. Both distributions have stood the test of time, and both approaches work for the most part fine for their communities. Yet, the question remains: is one of the approaches better than the other? And what are the advantages and drawbacks for the various contributor roles? The talk answers these and other burning questions and reveals the hidden weaknesses of both setups. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2945-the-monolith-versus-the-swarm-a-comparison-of-opensuse-s-and-fedora-s-build-infrastructures/
7 Upstream and downstream, best friends forever? Sun, 4 Feb 14:00 - 14:25 František Lachman Distributions Integrating the upstream and downstream world is hard. Isn’t it? During the talk, we will go through these and provide suggestions on what you can do in such situations and how to bring the best benefit both to developers and maintainers. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2881-upstream-and-downstream-best-friends-forever-/
8 PipeWire State of the Union Sun, 4 Feb 14:00 - 14:25 Wim Taymans Open Media PipeWire started out as a low-level multimedia transport layer. Services such as screen sharing and later audio routing were added on top of this infrastructure. The recent 1.0 release marked a big milestone in the development. This talk will detail the current state of PipeWire and the plans for the future. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-1988-pipewire-state-of-the-union/
9 An introduction to Image Builder: building up-to-date, customised operating system images the easy way Sun, 4 Feb 15:30 - 15:55 Sanne Raymaekers Distributions Image builder is a tool that builds bespoke operating system images in a manner that is reliable and well-defined. Image builder supports the Fedora, CentOS Stream, and RHEL distributions for a host of target platforms such as bare metal, QEMU, vSphere and cloud platforms like AWS, Azure and Google cloud. It can build rpm ostree based images or "plain" dnf. It is shipped in a variety of ways: as a CLI tool, a cockpit plugin or a hosted service. We will take a look at the basic concepts, some of the features, and a new initiative targeted towards the Fedora community. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2678-an-introduction-to-image-builder-building-up-to-date-customised-operating-system-images-the-easy-way/
10 POSIX identities out of OAuth2 identity providers: how to redesign SSSD and Samba? Sun, 4 Feb 16:35 - 17:00 Alexander Bokovoy, Andreas Schneider Identity & Access Management This talk aims to define a common set of requirements and approaches to represent a secure POSIX identity management integration with OAuth 2.0-based identity providers. Aside from requirements towards client software on the Linux platform, we aim to define possible requirements towards other components of the integration, based on our experience developing Samba, SSSD, and FreeIPA for more than 25 years. https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2587-posix-identities-out-of-oauth2-identity-providers-how-to-redesign-sssd-and-samba-/
