[distro-devroom] [Distros] Last-minute substitution; Pretalx 500 error

[Justin W. Flory (he/him)]

For what it is worth, I will leave the session details here in case a staff
member can help out with this. I get a 500 error each time I try to enter
this into Pretalx.

*Time*: 13:00-13:30
*Room*: H.1302
*Track*: Distributions
*Title*: The Road to EPEL 10
*Abstract*:
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is a yum repository of community
maintained packages for use on CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL). For most of its history, each version of EPEL was made available
after the corresponding major version of RHEL. This slowed down package
availability, which then slowed down adoption of new RHEL major versions.
In EPEL 9, package maintainers were able to build against CentOS Stream 9
early to have a large number of packages ready before the RHEL 9.0 launch.

For EPEL 10, the EPEL Steering Committee is expanding that strategy to all
minor versions of RHEL 10. This will improve support for CentOS Stream and
for specific minor versions of RHEL, resolving several key pain points of
users and maintainers. Attend this talk to learn more about this bold
initiative and the results achieved so far.

While I may be sending this email outside my normal office hours, I have no
