Hi Liam,

I don't plan on attending next year's edition of FOSDEM. Hisham has been
there last year, so it's possible he attends it once again in 2019.  @Hisha=
m
<[email protected]>, is that the case?

<br>
The Distributions devroom will take place Sunday 3 February 2019 at<br>
FOSDEM, in Brussels, Belgium at the Universit=C3=A9 Libre de Bruxelles.<br>
<br>
As more and more workloads are being considered for containerization in<br>
the future and are finally landing in virtualized environments today,<br>
distributions remain a critical success factor and are more important<br>
than ever. Containers, like virtual machines, are not magical and<br>
rely on piles of software being assembled in a way that is repeatable,<br>
reliable, and functional. This is at the very heart of the problem that<br>
distributions have always solved.<br>
<br>
Each distribution is responsible for building, testing, and releasing<br>
software as well as managing the lifecycle of each application in the<br>
collection. Additionally, distributions do very important work in ensuring<=
br>
that various versions of upstream software work well together and can<br>
co-exist. Distributions are also, often responsible, for &quot;de-vendoring=
&quot;<br>
upstream software so that security fixes can be applied more quickly.<br>
<br>
We welcome submissions targeted at contributors interested in issues<br>
unique to distributions, especially in the following topics:<br>
<br>
# Topics and Areas of Focus<br>
<br>
## Focus Areas<br>
<br>
- The ways that distribution technologies can be leveraged to allow<br>
=C2=A0 for easier creation of a multi-verse of artifacts from single source=
<br>
=C2=A0 trees. This includes the increasing move toward self-contained<br>
=C2=A0 applications and providing multiple non-parallel installed versions<=
br>
=C2=A0 of software.<br>
<br>
- Efforts being made in shared environments around Build/Test/Release<br>
=C2=A0 cycles.<br>
<br>
- Topics related to the delivery problem as it impacts updates in<br>
=C2=A0 terms of both size and rollback/reliability are expected to be featu=
red.<br>
<br>
## Additional Topic Ideas<br>
<br>
- Distribution and Community collaborations, eg: how does code flow from<br=
>
=C2=A0 developers to end users across communities, ensuring trust and code<=
br>
=C2=A0 audibility<br>
<br>
- Automating building software for redistribution to minimize human<br>
=C2=A0 involvement, eg: bots that branch and build software, bots that<br>
=C2=A0 participate as team members extending human involvement<br>
<br>
- Cross-distribution collaboration on common issues, eg: content<br>
=C2=A0 distribution, infrastructure, and documentation<br>
<br>
- Growing distribution communities, eg: onboarding new users, helping<br>
=C2=A0 new contributors learn community values and technology,=C2=A0 increa=
sing<br>
=C2=A0 contributor technical skills, recognizing and rewarding contribution=
<br>
<br>
- Principals of Rolling Releases, Long Term Supported Releases (LTS),<br>
=C2=A0 Feature gated releases, and calendar releases<br>
<br>
- Distribution construction, installation, deployment, packaging and<br>
=C2=A0 content management<br>
<br>
- Balancing new code and active upstreams verus security updates, back<br>
=C2=A0 porting and minimization of user breaking changes<br>
<br>
- Delivering architecture independent software universally across<br>
=C2=A0 architectures within the confines of distribution systems<br>
<br>
- Effectively communicating the difference in experience across<br>
=C2=A0 architectures for developers, packagers, and users<br>
<br>
- Working with vendors and including them in the community<br>
<br>
- The future of distributions, emerging trends and evolving user demands<br=

=C2=A0 from the idea of a platform<br>
<br>
