[yast-devel] YaST at the openSUSE Summit Dublin
Douglas DeMaio asked if me or any other YaST developer was planning to give a talk at openSUSE Summit Dublin[1]. I have to admit that was out of my radar. That summit is a small event that takes place right after SUSECON[2] in the same location, reusing part of its infrastructure. So it sounds like a nice place to meet people who are both openSUSE enthusiasts and SUSE customers. To be honest, YaST had almost not presence In the latest openSUSE Conference and that felt pretty wrong. Imo and me tried to fix that with some lighting talks but, although they were well received locally, there is no online record of those. I'm not sure whether I will be personally able to attend, but I think that at least one member of the YaST Team should be there presenting all the new stuff that debuted in 15.1 (we can extend my lighting talk about it) or what we are working on. Being visible is one of our strategies, after all. Cheers.

Hi, so as follow up of yesterday retro I prepare draft of two talks ( still need to find nicer titles and abstract ). One is about Leap 15.1 and one about Leap 15.2, respective TW. If you have any ideas please comment. I am also not sure if we should maybe replace one talk with something like how development happen from bugzilla, via trello, github, jenkins, travis, devel repo to final sr to Factory + openqa. So drafts: ## Presentation 1 - YaST in Leap 15.1 TODO: better title ### Abstract - TODO: improve Highlighting known and also some not so visible improvements done in Leap 15.1 in YaST/Installer. Funny stories from development included. ### Tasks - query a bit audience like favority feature, how many use expert partitioner, etc. - group features by sub-system like storage, booting, network, packager, etc. - point to our blog post ## Presentation 2 - YaST in Leap 15.2 TODO: better title ### Abstract- TODO: improve Highlighting what is in preparation for Leap 15.2 and also that you can see it now in TW. Some changes are even not yet implemented. ### Tasks - query a bit audience like what how many use TW, how often they upgrade and who already report bug for YaST - group features by sub-system like storage, booting, network, packager, etc. - point to our blog post - show how they can participate ( testing, development, documentation, PR, etc. ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
As deadline for papers are really close I would like to present the final proposal for two talks. If you can please do proof read and ideally also some PR buzzwords enhancements as it is not my strong page. ## Presentation 1 - Leap 15.1 and Hidden Gems in Installer Do you ever heard about bcache or IRST? Do you want to play with it? Are you fighting with ssh keys for users? Are you start with salt and do not know how to do initial deployment? Are you fighting with tuning kernel cpu issues mitigations? Are you not sure which btrfs snapshot eats your space on btrfs? YaST can help with these and much more things in Leap 15.1 and in this talk I show how. ## Presentation 2 - Bright Future of YaST YaST team does not slow down and also in Leap 15.2 will be many interesting new features which you can already see in Tumbleweed. Network module was simplified and its backend was more straighforward now. Encryption is always important, but nowadays even more and yast allows to use more advanced techniques now in the installation. Btrfs allows to be on multiple device and now it is also easy to setup in installer. Scripting with snapper will be easier than ever. Usability will be improved with new type of widget and many others improvements that will be demonstrated in this talk. TODO: Do you have some interesting feature that will be in Leap 15.1 or 15.2 that deserve mentioning in talk?

## Presentation 1
I like the marketing-oriented tone and the content. I will just "rewrite" it to be a bit more English-compliant.
- Leap 15.1 and Hidden Gems in Installer

Hidden Gems from the Leap 15.1 Installer Have you ever heard about bcache or IRST but you don't how to start experimenting with them? Are you struggling to configure ssh keys for your users? Are you looking for an easy way to deploy your SaltStack configurations in your machine? Do you want to easily configure your system to balance performance with security against Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities? Do you want to know which of your Btrfs snapshots is consuming so much space? The latest versions of YaST can help you with that and with many other topics. This talk will try to provide an overview on all the interesting new YaST stuff shipped in Leap 15.1.
## Presentation 2 - Bright Future of YaST
YaST team does not slow down and also in Leap 15.2 will be many interesting new features which you can already see in Tumbleweed. Network module was simplified and its backend was more straighforward now. Encryption is always important, but nowadays even more and yast allows to use more advanced techniques now in the installation. Btrfs allows to be on multiple device and now it is also easy to setup in installer. Scripting with snapper will be easier than ever.

YaST's bright future Release after release, the YaST Team keeps on moving. Leap 15.2 will include many interesting new features which, in most cases, you have been already able to experience in openSUSE Tumbleweed. The overall usability has been improved, including the creation of a new widget for selecting the system role. The network module was simplified and its backend is more straightforward now. The installation process now allows to create and manage Btrfs file-system that expands over several devices and also allows to use more advanced encryption technologies. Scripting with snapper is now easier than ever... Join this talk to know more about what is coming and to provide your feedback to help us shaping the future of openSUSE.
TODO: Do you have some interesting feature that will be in Leap 15.1 or 15.2 that deserve mentioning in talk?
About stuff for 15.1, I'm sending you[1] the slideshows of my beer lightning talk on openSUSE Conference 2019. It lacks a slide about CPU mitigation (I realized too late to add it in time for the presentation), but I hope it will still be useful. Cheers. [1] I will do it in a separate mail, I have just realized it's 1.8MiB, clearly too much for a mailing list. -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org

Surely I am not the best for proofreading, but here you are some suggestions.
## Presentation 1 - Leap 15.1 and Hidden Gems in Installer
Do you ever heard about bcache or IRST? Do you want to play with it? Are you fighting with ssh keys for users? Are you start with salt and do not know how to do initial deployment?

Have you ever heard about Bcache or IRST? Do you want to give it a try? Are you fighting with ssh keys configuration? Are you starting to use Salt and you do not know how to perform an initial deployment? Are you dealing with CPU issues mitigations? Are not you able to find out which Btrfs snapshot is eating your disk space? Discover how YaST can help you with all that and much more in Leap 15.1.
## Presentation 2 - Bright Future of YaST

Network module was simplified and its backend was more straighforward now.

YaST team keeps working hard and many interesting features will debut in Leap 15.2. Most of them can be already enjoyed in Tumbleweed. For example: Network module was simplified and now it provides a much more straightforward back-end. New encryption methods are available, for example encrypting swap devices with random password. Btrfs file systems can now be configured over several devices, and YaST also helps you to accomplish it with only some clicks. Scripting with snapper is now easier than ever. Usability is being improved with new types of widgets. And much more, as it will show in this talk.
TODO: Do you have some interesting feature that will be in Leap 15.1 or 15.2 that deserve mentioning in talk?
