Talk Proposal for Toulouse: Using debusine to automate your QA

par Stefano Rivera

Sorry, I see the deadline was yesterday. I had it in my head as being in the next week or two. Hopefully you'll accept a day-late proposal. Speakers: Enrico Zini, Stefano Rivera, Colin Watson, Carles Pina i Estany We are all Freexian collaborators, and will be in Toulouse for a Freexian sprint around the Toulouse miniconf. Title: Using debusine to automate your QA Language: English Slot Length: 40 minutes Schedule Preference: none, put us where it makes sense. Abstract: Learn how you can use debusine to automate Debian software development QA. This talk is aimed at a broad audience of Debian contributors. We'll tell you what debusine is, if you haven't heard about it. For those who have, we'll show you some of the features we've implemented in the last year, and how you can use them to do QA work in Debian right now. Debusine is a general-purpose software factory tailored to the needs of a Debian-based distribution. It manages the scheduling and distribution of tasks to distributed worker machines. It's free software, implemented in Python, and packaged in the Debian archive. The talk will jump right in with practical demos, using them to explain the project's architecture.

Talk proposal: "Trixie on mobile"

par Arnaud Ferraris

Hi, I'd like to propose a talk for the upcoming MiniDebConf in Toulouse: * Speaker: Arnaud Ferraris * Speaker location: Toulouse * Affiliation: Debian & Mobian (https://mobian.org) * Topic: Trixie on mobile: are we there yet? Over the past few years, both Linux-first mobile devices and a growing number of mainline-supported Android smartphones have triggered the interest of many Linux developers and users. The resulting ecosystem is growing rapidly, with the DebianOnMobile team ensuring mobile-friendly software made their way into Debian. The Trixie release approaching, this talk will detail the state of mobile support in Bookworm, how things evolved since then and the remaining hurdles to get full support of those devices in Debian. * Date/time: no preference * Language: English * Biography: Arnaud is a Debian Developer mainly active in the DebianOnMobile team, working towards making mobile-friendly software available in Debian: - essential middleware (ModemManager) - graphical environments (Phosh, Plasma Mobile...) - mobile-first applications He also maintains Mobian, a Debian derivative providing packages not ready for Debian yet (mostly apps/kernels with downstream patches) and device-specific tweaks and metapackages, as well as ready-to-flash disk images for a selection of supported devices. * Duration: depends on Q&A time inclusion - 20mins if additional time is available for Q&A (e.g. 20mins presentation + 10mins Q&A) - 40mins otherwise Best regards, Arnaud

Can you please log in to the MiniDebconf website with salsa SSO? That saves us the effort of manually creating speaker info for the video review system. https://toulouse2024.mini.debconf.org/accounts/login/ However, we’ve not yet established a final schedule. We may also need to shorten some talks (to 30 or 20 min) because the allowed time for the event is pretty tight and we’ve received many interesting proposals. We’ll come back to you as soon as possible once we’ve settled on a final schedule. > - workshop: «let's break PostgreSQL» We’re sorry, but we won’t be able to provide a workshop slot within our tight schedule. However, you’re more than welcome to propose it as an adhoc session during the preceding MiniDebCamp (I know I’d would be personally happy to attend). Regards, taffit

Talk proposal: Linux livepatching for Debian

par Santiago Ruano Rincón

Chère équipe d'organisation de la MiniDebConf Toulouse, Voici une proposition pour une présentation : The suggested talk topic: Linux live-patching for Debian We filed ITP #1070494 in May 2024 about adding live patching support for linux in Debian. Live patching is the ability to load modules into the kernel to apply patches that fix issues, especially security flaws. More that an ITP, our project is an Intend to Design, Implement and Maintain live-patching for the kernel, and this talk will present our current plans. We would like to present and discuss the ideas about the design of a first approach, and all the questions and concerns that come with this project. Those questions include how to triage the security issues, for how long to maintain specific kernel versions, taking into account the Debian kernel lifecycle. We aim at performing a live demo of a simple livepatch. The work-in-progress prototyping can be found in the Salsa linux-livepatching repo. This talk would be the opportunity to discuss live what would be the best way to support linux livepatching in Debian. 🧉 Date/time: Whenever in the afternoon would be good. I am working on this with Emmanuel Arias, who is in Argentina. This is: if there will be video streaming (or even he could attend via jitsi), we need it to be on the afternoon. Otherwise, there is no preference. Language: English Brief biography: Santiago became DD on 2006. He is now part of the Debian LTS/ELTS team by Freexian, providing security support for different Debian releases. Duration: 40 mins slot. But I could acomodate to 20 mins if preferred. Thank you for considering the talk! -- Santiago

Talk proposal: How LTS Goes Beyond LTS

par Roberto C. Sánchez

Speaker names: Roberto C. Sánchez and Santiago Ruano Rincón Travel budget: not to be compensated via the conference Affiliation: LTS (Freexian) Duration and date: 40min during the weekend Video recording: agreed Language: English Registered: yes (currently rows 14 and 21) Talk topic: The proposed talk is titled "How LTS Goes Beyond LTS". The LTS project aims to ensure that each Debian stable release has 5 years of security support. The effort was begun by Freexian in 2014, initially focusing on the 5 year timeline by working on oldstable. As the project has grown we have been working to extend the team's contributions to other releases/parts of Debian. As a result, Freexian actively encourages and funds paid LTS contributors to find ways to contribute beyond simply preparing LTS package updates. This talk will review some highlights from the past 12 months covering 3 key areas: contributions to (old)stable/testing/unstable packages, contributions to broader non-packaging work in Debian, and contributions to the broader free software world. Time will be reserved at the end for a Q&A/discussion about other ways that the LTS team can contribute to Debian and to the free software world. Bio: Roberto and Santiago are both Debian Developers (Roberto since 2007 and Santiago since 2006) and both are active as members of the LTS Team. Roberto primarily serves in the coordinator role, looking after the day-to-day operations of the team, and Santiago primarily serves in the service owner role, dealing with strategic matters concerning the team. We are always on the lookout for ways that the LTS team can be of greater service to the Debian project and the free software world. -- Roberto C. Sánchez
