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!

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.

Name: Ben Hutchings
Location: Belgium (and I have already arranged travel)
Affiliation: Debian project
Topic: What's new in the Linux kernel (and what's missing in Debian).
.
I will talk about some of the interesting changes to Linux since
last year, and work that still needs to be done to integrate or take
advantage of new features in Debian.
.
This would be the same format I've used for talks almost every year
since 2013.
Brief biography: Ben Hutchings has been a Debian and Linux kernel
developer for over 15 years, and works within the Debian kernel team
to integrate the two.
Duration: 40 minutes

The talk is about how authentication for developers works on pypi.
It shows how the authentication evolved over time and ends with predictions/
conspiracy theories on what will happen in the future.
I presented it at OWASP Göteborg last spring, but it will include some new
material that happened after then.
> The choice between 20 or 40 minutes duration
40 minutes I think would be more appropriate

Hi,
I want to propose a talk or BoF or something in between about cross
building Debian packages. I've done this at DebConf 22 very
spontaneously as a Q&A BoF format. In Toulouse, I want to given an
introduction to the matter to the uninitiated and then move into the
hairy details. What is cross building? Why is cross building useful?
How can one cross build packages? What tends to work and what does not?
In what situations is cross building beneficial? How can one fix things
when it does not work? Unlike Kosovo, I'll come with slides for the
first half and want to leave plenty of room for questions. I'll try to
collect some questions ahead of time in case the audience is too shy.
If this is getting videoed, multiple microphones will be needed. Please
let me know if the unconventional proposal suits the conference. If not,
I will to consider changes to the format and topic.
Below goes the requested information.

Biography
After starting to contribute to Debian in 2005 it took me until 2013 to
formally become a Debian Developer. I tend to not maintain packages as I
am invested in architecture bootstrap, cross building, and other
archive-wide topics. Since 2022 I am serving on the technical committee
and working with Freexian who is funding my work on finalizing the
/usr-merge transition.
Please cc me in replies as I am not subscribed.
