Presentations
Learn about the ecosystems in the Fedora and CentOS projects, and how you can package software for both. We will present an overview of the Fedora project followed by an overview CentOS ecosystem. We'll show how both systems are developed and what the various special interest groups are doing. We will then provide a packaging workshop where you can learn how to package your favorite software, whether you want it in Fedora, EPEL, a CentOS SIG, or just for your own personal use.
We’ve all heard the usual insider talks about Nix. This session flips the script. Ron Efroni will lead a candid fireside chat with Kelsey Hightower, known for his pioneering work on Kubernetes, as we dive into his journey discovering Nix. Expect blunt takes on where Nix gets it right, where it needs a reality check, and what lessons from container orchestration might apply. If you’re curious about the raw, unfiltered truth of Nix’s present and future, don’t miss it.
In DevOps, we often interact with networks via ingress/egress, routers, subnets/IP addresses, and firewalls, but can we learn anything from our experience with these while improving our professional network? In this age of layoffs and AI, ensuring we are authentically connected to our communities is more important than ever. Let’s take what we’ve learned from systems networks and apply it to our professional network.
Flox aims to simplify software delivery by leveraging Nix. This presentation explores lessons from years of building developer tools and cloud-native systems. Discover how Nix is the key building block, addressing complexities in modern application delivery. The talk emphasizes a guided path for adoption, enabling teams to modernize without needing a Nix expert in every department. Dive into the underlying mindset of Flox's approach to evolving software practices for a simpler experience.
A Forum Session to discuss the move of Ironic to better enable cloud-native workloads and use cases, and discuss other bare metal-related topics.

Static environments like staging, qa and dev are major bottlenecks in microservices architecture which slow down the development process. In this talk, we present a tool we've developed and use at GoodRx that automatically creates ephemeral environments from GitHub pull requests managed directly by a comment block in the pull request. This enables developers to quickly test, share and get feedback on their changes in isolated, disposable environments. We will share our journey in building this tool, discuss its integration with existing workflows and its future.
Join us as we zero in on the virtualization market in North America and hear how OpenStack providers are building cloud-native migration strategies for their customers. Our panel of experts will be moderated by Jimmy McArthur, Director, Business Development at OpenInfra Foundation.
Attendees will understand how developers identify bugs/features to work on, create contributor accounts, develop the code change, test it against an OpenStack deployment and submit it for community code review. As seasoned core maintainers of OpenStack, we can share strategies we have learned to engage with the community and get these code changes merged. We hope this session will serve as a quickstart to in-person audiences who get to follow along hands-on.
There are a lot of different secret management technologies around nixos, like sops-nix, agenix, etc. All of them still require to manually generate and encrypt secrets though. So we are happy to announce the missing piece to have full declarative services with zero user interaction: NixOS vars (name will maybe change :))
Learn more about OpenStack as a whole, the different services and how to get involved.
