Optimizing Salt infrastructure with advanced monitoring Salt events (osc25)

There are quite common issues in large scale deployments of **Salt**, but without monitoring it could be extremely hard to find out the root cause of the issue. Using **Saline** could help to investigate performance issues in large scale **Salt** infrastructures. **Saline** also helps to profile _state.apply_ process by exposing average duration of the calls. **Saline** now included to Uyuni and provides capabilities for easy deployment.

R-B-OS (osc25)

During the last year, I have spent several months on a project, that was sponsored by a grant from the NLnet NGI0 initiative. It is about an operating system, that only has packages that can be reproduced anywhere anytime bit-by-bit. I call it R-B-OS - the Reproducible-Builds-Operating-System. Last year when we had https://events.opensuse.org/conferences/oSC24/program/proposals/4378 , most of the work was still ahead. Now it is completed and I can tell how it went. I'll tell about the journey. And I'll tell about the result. RBOS has some unique properties: - The collection of sources are defined by a single hash,...

2 cents on improving openSUSE Membership (Management) (osc25)

The current process of openSUSE membership application can be cumbersome and overall approval deem lengthy or inconsistent. This is due to way applications are made, some times information is lacking, there are back-and-forths, before membership officials can finalise an application. The current state of membership management has its limitations and it is not friendly, either for the members, the membership officials, or the election officials (who need the active membership info to run elections). In this lightning talk, I'll quickly go through some of the hurdles and possible solutions to ease the process. Licensed to...

openSUSE's different shades of green (osc25)

How does openSUSE look from the outside? In this talk, two SUSE expats share how their Geeko hearts started to ache when they were no longer part of the inner circle. Where are openSUSE's strengths, and how are they shining? Where does it desperately need to improve to maintain relevance? There is so much excellence across so many disciplines to be presented to communities outside SUSE's roof. Is openSUSE targeted being an in-house project, or is it ready to engage more broadly with the open source world? Expect some war stories from the days after, and...
