So, do I after all this time want to go to a #Fedora conference once more because it's relatively easy to reach?

I'm toying with the idea.

And should I give a short talk? Maybe about using upstream vanilla #kernel on Fedora #Linux for testing or development purposes?

https://fedoramagazine.org/flock-to-fedora-2025-prague-june-5th-8th/ #LinuxKernel

@knurd42 hm. Prague again. Tempting indeed.

@knurd42 Haven't been to one myself since 2013, but have been thinking about trying to go to one the next time they have a conference reasonably near me.

@knurd42

It would be nice to see you there.

This is a more contributor rather than user-oriented conference, so the topics on development practices, how to work with upstream or what future features to look forward to can be interesting.

@bookwar @knurd42

have you looked if this aligns with the "themes" set for the conference? https://fedoramagazine.org/flock-to-fedora-2025-prague-june-5th-8th/

just speaking for myself, I'm one of the most active packagers, community members, and am on fesco - and I have no idea if *anything* that I'm working on would fit here ...

@decathorpe @bookwar @knurd42 I believe you do plenty of things that fits under:

"Empowering Collaboration: Tools and Practices for Fedora’s Future"

@decathorpe

My internal translation engine reads it as:

* Tools practices and processes used by the project
* Onboarding contributors to the project
* New features coming in the next Fedora releases.

Which seems to be the most generic set of topics a project can come up with.

Can you give an example of a topic which would be interesting to you, and not fitting into these three?

@knurd42

@bookwar @decathorpe @knurd42 I can see nothing that I'd talk about fitting those themes either. What do I have to discuss? Fedora KDE doesn't fit in that, nor does anything else I'm doing in Fedora, except *maybe* the kiwi stuff.

@Conan_Kudo @decathorpe @knurd42

Can you provide it as a feedback directly to Fedora Council along with your suggestion how to change it?

Ticket or a forum post will do. It is quite an open process, and it is not too hard to patch it

@ffmancera literally nothing I work on fits into

"Topics may include the upcoming Git forge change, discussion related to bug tracking systems, communication platforms, and project management that drives Fedora’s collaborative efforts."

so I'm a bit lost here

@bookwar @knurd42 your translation engine seems to be better than mine, maybe I haven't had to read enough corporate speak yet 😂😂

@decathorpe

Additionally to that, I think the point of having themes is more or less to have a teaser for when people do not have better ideas.

Seasoned contributors do not need to be teased. And from my perspective it was a given that if you have a topic, which you think is important to be discussed with a Fedora contributor community, you just do it.

Maybe it is worth to highlight it more explicitly there.

@knurd42

@bookwar @decathorpe @knurd42 I guess I could, but I felt pretty ignored throughout the process for Flock so far. I don't feel like my feedback would matter at this stage. 😦
