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.

I'd like to propose a talk and a lightning talk:

Reproducible Builds - rebuilding what is distributed from ftp.debian.org
For ten years the Reproducible Builds project has worked towards reproducible
builds of many projects and for almost ten years now we have build Debian
packages twice, with maximal variations applied, to see if they can be
build reproducible still.
Since about a month we've also been rebuilding trying to exactly match
the builds being distributed via ftp.d.o - this talk will describe the setup
and the lessons learned so far, and why the results currently are what
they are (spoiler: less <30% reproducible) and what we can do to fix that.
> * Brief biography (50-100 words) as it relates to the suggested topic
h01ger has been involved in reproducible builds since 2014 and so far has
set up automated reproducibility testing for Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux,
FreeBSD, NetBSD and coreboot.

Chameleon - the easy way to try out Sequoia - OpenPGP written in Rust
This talk will explain briefly what Sequoia is and how you can
easily try it today using the Chameleon or the Octopus!
> * Brief biography (50-100 words) as it relates to the suggested topic
Holger has been doing Debian packaging for almost 20 years and been
a PGP user for over 30 years, so a year ago he thought he could help
packaging Sequoia written in Rust despite having no clue about Rust
back then...

& many thanks & looking forward to see you in Toulouse!

children and grandchildren. The planet will survive anyway.
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

Thanks for your reply! Adding back minidbconf and orga-minidebconf in CC
that I forgot in my previous reply.

Mmmh, I don’t really get the exact topic of your talk proposal, it may
need some polishing to fit in the form of “Title” “Longer description”, but…
We’re happy to confirm that your talk has been accepted.
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,

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
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.
