Just for you information, I have submitted the following two abstracts for openSUSE Conference 2017. I'm sharing them here just to keep track of the YaST-related content we will deliver. Feel free to help with "my" talk/workshop (definitely the workshop would benefit from having different speakers for each technology) or share here the ones you have submitted. FORMAT: 15 min talk TITLE: YaST: from the repository to the distributions SUBTITLE: Continuous testing and delivery, the YaST way ABSTRACT: In this talk we will briefly explore all the mechanisms and workflows used by the YaST developers in order to share as much code as possible between all the SUSE and openSUSE distributions, while ensuring the quality of all the different YaST modules. Learn how Rake, unit tests, Github, Jenkins, Travis, OBS and even Docker are used to deliver the developer's work to the already released products (via maintenance updates), to the ones still to be released and to our rolling distribution Tumbleweed. FORMAT: 3 hours workshop TITLE: Develop a YaST module in the 21st century way SUBTITLE: Enjoyable object-oriented YaST development ABSTRACT: YaST, the openSUSE beloved Swiss army knife, has been around since 1996. The history of quite some components still present in the current version can be tracked back to 1999. In 2013 the code was automatically converted from YCP, a purpose-specific procedural programming language, to Ruby, a general-purpose object oriented one. Since then, the YaST team has been trying to steady replace many YCP components and paradigms with new object-oriented, test-driven ones. In this workshop we will develop a new YaST module from scratch using the new Ruby-based approach. That is, object oriented dialogs and clients, CFA to modify the configuration files, Cheetah to execute system commands, RSpec tests and so on. Attendees are expected to be proficient with object oriented programming (preferably Ruby) and to have an recent openSUSE system (can be a virtual machine) to follow the workshop. Having read the YaST development tutorial in advance would definitely be a plus. That's all folks.
