[Pierre FICHEUX]

Hi,

Could the devroom include topics such as Yocto or Buildroot as there is no
"embedded" devrom this year?

thx

> ## Focus Areas
>
> - The ways that distribution technologies can be leveraged to allow
>   for easier creation of a multi-verse of artifacts from single source
>   trees. This includes the increasing move toward self-contained
>   applications and providing multiple non-parallel installed versions
>   of software.
>
> - Efforts being made in shared environments around Build/Test/Release
>   cycles.
>
> - Topics related to the delivery problem as it impacts updates in
>   terms of both size and rollback/reliability are expected to be featured.
>
> ## Additional Topic Ideas
>
> - Distribution and Community collaborations, eg: how does code flow from
>   developers to end users across communities, ensuring trust and code
>   audibility
>
> - Automating building software for redistribution to minimize human
>   involvement, eg: bots that branch and build software, bots that
>   participate as team members extending human involvement
>
> - Cross-distribution collaboration on common issues, eg: content
>   distribution, infrastructure, and documentation
>
> - Growing distribution communities, eg: onboarding new users, helping
>   new contributors learn community values and technology,  increasing
>   contributor technical skills, recognizing and rewarding contribution
>
> - Principals of Rolling Releases, Long Term Supported Releases (LTS),
>   Feature gated releases, and calendar releases
>
> - Distribution construction, installation, deployment, packaging and
>   content management
>
> - Balancing new code and active upstreams verus security updates, back
>   porting and minimization of user breaking changes
>
> - Delivering architecture independent software universally across
>   architectures within the confines of distribution systems
>
> - Effectively communicating the difference in experience across
>   architectures for developers, packagers, and users
>
> - Working with vendors and including them in the community
>
> - The future of distributions, emerging trends and evolving user demands
>   from the idea of a platform
>
> Ideal submissions are actionable and opinionated. Submissions may
> be in the form of 25 or 50 minute talks, panel sessions, round-table
> discussions, or Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions.
