That's a great point. In retrospect, we really should perhaps have made something bigger of the fact that the most recent RB summit was reasonably close in time and space to PackagingCon, for example. Anyway, we'll definitely keep this in mind when choosing future RB locations and dates. The difficulty, as you no doubt are aware, is that conference dates must perforce be picked long in advance, and they are dictated in no small part by the blunt reality of the venue's availability rather than organisers' good intentions. :( Best wishes, -- o ⬋ ⬊ Chris Lamb o o reproducible-builds.org ⬊ ⬋ o

About half of them I can enter for free or even have expenses covered. I have to take PTO for each of them unfortunately.
Re: Which conferences are folks attending these days?
My goal this year is to attend: * All-Systems-Go, Sept. 25-26th, Berlin https://all-systems-go.io/ * Linux Security Summit, Sept. 16-17th, Vienna Austria. https://events.linuxfoundation.org/linux-security-summit-europe/ * Linux Plumbers, Sept. 18-20th, Vienna. https://lpc.events/ Plumbers and Security Summits are connected and same week in Vienna, and with ASG the week after in Berlin. So they make for a nice eurotour-conference trip i reckon. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Which conferences are folks attending these days?
I'm a lurker on this list but I'll plug bazelcon since there's a lot of interest in that community about reproducible builds as well. It definitely skews a bit more towards bazel specifics though. -- Keith Smiley On Thu, Apr 18, 2024 at 10:42 AM Santiago Torres-Arias < santi...@archlinux.org> wrote: > Hi, > > Nowadays I tend to attend LF-managed confs.

Re: Which conferences are folks attending these days?
Hi, Nowadays I tend to attend LF-managed confs. I don't think there's 100% overlap with e.g., FOSDEM attendees but they tend to fill a niche. In theory there's "SupplyChainSecurityCon" there, which I think does pull in a bunch of people. I've heard positive stuff about OSS Summit this year around. I myself am aiming to attend plumbers later this year -- I'm hoping I see some of you there! For good or bad, I think there's a mix of the different types of OSS folks in r-b. In a sense this leaves meeting r-b folks as an "accident" rather than the primary reason for conference travel. I wonder if co-location with another conf would help people prioritize the "right conf." It may just be a matter of signaling r-b presence in a conference as first class. For me, it'd help me choose which of the 20 conferences that happen each year is the one I should aim for.

Hey -general, I was talking to a bunch of RB folks yesterday, and we came to the loosely shared view that, after peak Covid and other industry-wide changes, conferences are no longer the "must attend" events they previously were… especially in the area of software supply-chain security. In rough, practical terms, it seems harder to justify conference travel today than it did in mid-2019. To that end, what conferences are folks on this list still going to, and, hopefully, still getting something from?
