Introducing Fedora Docker Layered Image Builds
In this session we will discuss what the Docker Layered Image Build Service is and what it provides to Fedora Contributors as well as how it caters to the goals of Fedora.Next and now the Fedora Modularization initiative. We will also show examples of how Fedora Contributors can use the service via Koji in a consistent manner as for RPM builds via the fedpkg utility. We will also do a dive into how the system is created with technologies such as Koji, OpenShift, osbs-client tools, atomic-reactor, fedpkg, and distgit namespacing.

Introduction to Container Security
Application containerization is one of the coolest technologies in IT. It solves numerous problems, allows for incredible application density, and can really increase flexibility and responsiveness. There are some misconceptions about container security, though. In this session, Red Hat’s global solutions architect leader, Thomas Cameron, will talk about the components of container security, some tips and tricks for planning a secure container environment, describe some “gotchas” about containers, and debunk some of the security myths about containers.

Low Hanging Fruits Hackfest
A lot of people think that an welcoming environment is important to fetch new contributors. But is is lesser important as giving people tasks or things to contribute, where the can make there first steps away from consumer/user forward to contributor. We should start thinking about these, its not done with making nice "Join pages" as more creating tasks or bringing existing ones to beginners. With Nuancier, we have already one application to animate people to contribute, but there can be more. openSUSE has with openFATE the right idea (even its poor implemented) but there are also other things we should think about, like our "easyfix" and how we can market them better or how can we get in a better way involved in GSoC and keep our students contributing. This hackfest shall help collecting ideas and make progress in this area.

Packaging Chromium for Fedora
Although the popular Google Chrome web browser is official supported in Fedora, there are users interested in its fully open source version - Chromium. In 2009 an article called "Chromium: Why it isn't in Fedora yet as a proper package" was published by Tom Callaway, and even now there's still no official Chromium package for Fedora. In this presentation, Paweł Hajdan, Jr. will review the current state of Chromium packaging, including support for system libraries, new build systems (GN), and better cooperation with wide open source community. It'll be an updated version of LinuxCon 2014 talk http://sched.co/1yFa8g9 , with focus on Fedora. Paweł is a Chromium project developer since 2008. He got a job working on Google Chrome after becoming the first committer from outside the company. Leading a small team of Gentoo Linux developers packaging Chromium, he also helps other Linux distribution developers. Paweł earned a master's degree in computer science from University of Warsaw.

How to use personal kanban for better organization
As a Fedora developer, we have a lot to keep track on, with a limited time if it's not your $DAYJOB. Personal Kanban borrows from Lean principles without enforcing a heavyweight process like erm Scrum. No ceremonial, only two simple rules: vizualize your tasks and limit your work in process. Then, you'll get better to track your tasks, expectations and commitments. It also means less context switches and improved life quality. You'll learn how to do more and better with the same time (or even less!)

Python Packaging in Fedora
Even though Fedora Workstation 23 shipped without Python 2 installed by default, the full transition to Python 3 is still going on. How are we doing on that? What still needs to be done, both upstream and in Fedora? And how you can help? And more importantly – how are we making life easier for future packagers? Now that Copr can build RPMs directly from the Python Package Index, will getting a Python library into Fedora be less of a chore? And how will system-python – an effort to slim down minimal installs – affect Python packaging?

Application Containers and System Services
Software maintainers started to face new challenges after Docker formatted containers arrived to developer boxes. Fedora has always been bleeding edge distro, so it comes natural that even in containers world Fedora should be innovator to follow. Linux containers might soon be viable alternative for system services, after they has been already de facto standard of modern PaaS, like OpenShift. Not every container must support both theses use cases, but there are some, like databases containers, where we definitely want to use them as system services and PaaS applications at the same time. Technical Solution is not that hard, it is enough to understand principles of the both use cases. The harder portion of work is to start thinking differently, than how maintainers usually do. In this talk, Honza will share experiences and some tough topics we learned so far during preparing containers for RHEL and CentOS and will share some best practices that should be followed in Fedora as well. The talk will focus on view of Fedora maintainers, who are about to join the dark side of containers development. Let's meet and talk how to make Fedora-based containers better.

Try to increase exposure of Fedora in university settings to gain new users, but also to hopefully gain new contributors.

In this talk, we begin looking at the current mindset and marketing thoughts around attracting university students to Fedora. What is working? What isn't?

Secure Automated Decryption
Keeping secrets is tough. It is hard enough when you have control over the full computing chain. But now we are expected to keep secrets while storing those secrets in cloud and SaaS infrastructures. At least we can trust the network providers, right? Of course, the answer is to encrypt the data. But then how do we know who should have access to the data and when? This talk will look at the new cryptographic techniques implemented by the Tang and Clevis open source projects. Tang forgoes complex (and compromise-prone) key management infrastructures by using simple algorithms to bind data to third party entities. Clevis permits sophisticated unlocking policies that go beyond simply password management to true attributed cryptography. Come see how to integrate Tang and Clevis into your infrastructure or software project!

What's Fedora's alternative to vi httpd.conf?
The most traditional way to do server development on a Linux workstation is to treat your workstation like a server: install the dependencies, put your code in a system directory, and edit the web server config. The idea of an ostree-based workstation with a fixed system image would make this impossible: a workstation doesn't have the web server or development dependencies installed systemwide, but it's not the best way to do things for many other reasons: the project may need versions of dependencies that are newer or older than what your workstation has, different projects may have conflicting dependencies, its hard to go from development to deployment, and so forth. There are no shortage of options for alternate ways to develop: Docker, Vagrant, Python's virtualenv, and many more, each with lots of subvariants. But with all these options out there, how do we guide users to ways that work well, and that let them leverage the Fedora ecosystem? And how do we provide integration with standard Workstation components like the terminal, GNOME Boxes, and with IDEs to make the experience truly slick and compelling?

Bringing Developers into the Flock
The container "revolution" has resulted in a lot of non-Linux users suddenly very interested in Linux containers. These developers often can't run containers on their laptops because they are using Windows or OS X or a janky non-Fedora Linux. Therefore there are a lot of virtual machines getting spun up just to run containers. Additionally, many of these developers aren't thinking about how to work with multiple containers or orchestrate them because it is hard to set everything up. The ADB solves these problems ... but ... ... it could not only solve these problems, but it could solve them with FEDORA! Today there is no Fedora version of the ADB. A Fedora ADB can be faster moving and help developers use the latest code sooner. In this talk learn how to build and improve the ADB so you can use it in your own work and so it can become a tool for expanding the Fedora community. #TheFedoraADB

Integrating a Modular System: How Cockpit does it
Fedora is modularizing. But what does it mean to make disparate modules work well together? Cockpit is a fast paced project that touches many other technologies and has evolved over the years into a system that does exactly this. I want to share how Cockpit survives modularization, distribution releases, changing APIs and new features by testing against real operating systems before code is even merged, released or packaged. You'll see how we integrate, how the testing is composable and upstream & testing framework agnostic. We show how to focus on the goal - deliver software that works for users.

Don't Destroy Your Machine with Development
Vagrant is a tool which streamlines virtual machine creation and provisioning on Linux, Windows and OS X. Using Vagrant, developers can quickly set up and share environments. Vagrant libvirt support and RPM packaging have made it easier than ever to get Vagrant up and running on your Fedora system. Additionally, the Fedora Cloud working group is now producing Vagrant boxes for Fedora releases. This makes it very simple to get a Fedora environment running on any host/platform that supports Vagrant. Combine these things together and developing Fedora just got easier (and less dangerous) on your Fedora laptop. This talk will introduce Vagrant and how it helps with development and testing. Demos will include showing vagrant on both Fedora and OS X laptops. At the end there will be a workshop to help everyone get started on their laptop today. Outline of Talk: - general point of vagrant - show how sharing boxes/vagrantfiles can help reproducibility - sharing folders - show editing code and then building inside of vagrant box - testing OS level changes using vagrant - show mac running fedora linux vagrant box - how to get it installed and working in Fedora - questions - workshop -- helping people get it installed on their systems

Nulecule - Packaging multi container applications
Currently there is no standard mechanism for creating, distributing and deploying applications on containers. Applications that need orchestration for multiple containers and hosts require hand-crafted customization that is difficult to replicate and manage, not to mention time-consuming. Nulecule is a specification for defining the packaged contents, including metadata, dependencies and orchestration providers, of container-based applications. Atomic App is the reference implementation of Nulecule that provides an easy method for packaging, distributing and running applications.

Diversity Panel: Building an inclusive community
Best way to understand diversity is to experience it. It's hard to see the reach of a community if we don't know everyone who's part of it, and with such a wide community it gets harder. On this panel we will have several people explaining their experiences within the Fedora Community and how they have overcome every obstacle to make Fedora their homes. We will have a set of panelist that will include people with Asperger, Autism, LGBT members, people from different languages and remote locations, and more. Our idea is to let everyone learn from everyone point of view and sensitize our community about the daily challenges that people from minorities need to fight in order to make contributions and be part of our community. More people with different backgrounds might join, yet, we need to make the proposal before time runs up (feel free to follow the mail thread on the Diversity mailling list)

Everyone agrees that testing is best done as often and as close to development as possible, the Linux Kernel is no exception. Catching problems, especially regressions, during the development phase not only helps users, but it makes life easier for developers as well by decreasing debug times.

Rebases done easily with rebase-helper
Rebase-helper is a promising tool which automates most of the manual steps when updating a package to the latest upstream version. For tasks which can not be fully automated it at least assists the maintainer. Example of such task is rebasing of downstream patches on top of the new upstream sources. Rebase-helper additionally builds old and new sets of RPMs and performs multiple checks on them. The results including possible issues and differences are then presented to the maintainer. Running rebase-helper in non-interactive mode is also possible, however using it may provide only partial results. This is because some tasks simply need user interaction. Rebase-helper has been integrated with Fedora Upstream Release Monitoring service. Nowadays, for every new package version, rebase-helper is run and a the results results are added to the appropriate bug. During the talk I will describe how rebase-helper works and how it was integrated with the Upstream Release Monitoring service. If we are lucky enough I’ll show live demo of rebase-helper workflow.

Diversity - women in open source
My paper will highlight different aspect of diversity and how fedora is supporting diversity in all terms.
It's wonderful to be a woman. Women have been participating in social, political, economic, cultural, and technological fields for many decades and it's time to push it further. Even if Fedora has a rising number of women participating actively in our community, we aim to increase this number by creating and encouraging programs where women interested in IT can develop their personal and technical skills and make a path for themselves in the IT field.

Every activity counts, like running workshops for schoolgirls in undeserved areas or reaching out to college women to spread knowledge about open source. We can share information about many great groups and opportunities, such as OpenHatch, Women in Drupal, PyLadies, Outreachy and Google Summer of Code. There are so many great outreach programs for women in open source, and we just need to spread the knowledge and motivate women out there to join the movement. We can point people to the resources created for supporting women in open source by the Ada Initiative during its existence from 2011 to 2015, and more resources available on the Geek Feminism wiki. There are lots of things to do, and it is not just coding in fact, you can do many different and exciting things to contribute to open source, such as writing, documentation, design, translation, testing, and more.

We can have a helping-pyramid where each Fedora woman can be a mentor of two more women, and once they feel comfortable enough, each one can be a mentor for two more women, and thus continue the work to make our numbers grow.

One library to rule them all: unbundling workshop
Fedora policy regarding mandatory removal of bundled libraries and other components in existing and prospective packages was relaxed last year. While it is now acceptable to have bundled components in a package and still pass review, it is still worth making an effort to unbundle as much as possible, even if upstream doesn't support it, mainly for security reasons. This workshop will teach you how to unbundle a library from a package and work with upstreams to add support for using the system version. Participants are encouraged to bring their own cases to the table and are expected to know how to:
  • create an RPM package compliant with the Fedora Packaging Guidelines
  • read source code
  • create patches
  • be diplomatic :)

Building Modules Workshop
In this workshop, you will learn more about Fedora modularity - in particular you can see how the modules are defined and even try to write your own.

You will find out more about the building pipeline and try to build the module you have defined. You can also try the client-side tools to work with the built modules.

Please bring your own computer and your FAS account. The workshop will be fairly unstructured so come any time. However, if you want to learn more about modularity, please try to come at the beginning and, if there is interest, I will do a brief overview.

Fedora Loves Python
Fedora has a great relationship with Python. Our tools on the system and in the infrastructure are written in Python, we help upstreams to port their stuff to Python 3. Fedora provides great tools for a Python developer. Python, Python developers, and Python communities are a major target audience for Fedora. What can we do to promote Fedora at Python events? How do we communicate that Fedora is so Python-friendly? What to show and tell to potential Fedora users who code in Python, how to attract them to contribute? Let's meet and discuss this. (I'd like to see Ambassadors, Marketing, CommOps, Python SIG members and any other Python enthusiasts.)

Brewery Lubicz
A feast and beer tasting awaits us at Browar Lubicz, a recently restored brewery. The brewery dates from 1840 and has been brewing beer almost continuously, even during nationalization in the 1950s. Restored in September 2015, the brewery is a high point of a trip to Krakow. There will be non-beer options available. Dinner starts at 7:30 pm. Buses will depart the hotel at approximately 6:30 pm and 7:20 pm. Buses will begin returning to the hotel at about 9:40 pm.

Ansible best practice working session
Fedora was one of the first project to adopt Ansible, and also on of the biggest provider of production grade playbooks and roles, thus being a model for others. However, the ansible best practices did evolve (or rather, did emerge), and the sheer size of the repository mean there is some dusty corners to be improved. This hacking session aim at having people in the same room to try to fix and improve various parts of ansible, and work together for fast review. Beginners wanting to improve their knowledge of Ansible, or wanting to learn about Fedora infra are welcome to give a hand.

Taskotron: Create automated, package-specific test
Taskotron developers will walk you through writing an automated test for your Fedora package. With upcoming launch of dist-git repos for tests, you will be able to create tests for your packages that will be run automatically by Taskotron. Join us in this workshop and learn all the details necessary for creating such a package-specific test. Time permitting we will also showcase a generic test which can be used for any package. By the end of the workshop, you will have enough knowledge and information to start writing your own automated package-specific tests. If you want to be a spectator, you are welcome to do that but if you want to follow along and get the most out of this workshop, please prepare in advance using https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron/Flock2016Workshop.

What we do for Docker image test automation
Layered Docker Image Build Service will have a significant impact on Fedora. Producing these new images calls for having an automated checks run on every built image. In order to facilitate continuous delivery, new bits will be deployed in Taskotron. I'll show you what's done and we hope to open a discussion and make sure we all share the same expectations.
