CANCELLED: openSUSE: Engineering Stable Rolling Releases with OBS and openQA

The openSUSE project stands out in the Linux ecosystem by offering a diverse range of distributions: the rolling release distribution openSUSE Tumbleweed, the stable/fixed release openSUSE Leap distribution and Slowroll, a slowed down version of Tumbleweed. While all openSUSE distributions are RPM-based, their tooling is vastly different to all other RPM-based distributions. What enables the project to deliver a stable rolling distro along with many spins, container images and more given its limited resources? Is it the different build systems? Or maybe it's a different approach to packaging? Or is it the automated testing pipeline or something else entirely?

This talk dives into the unique build system, automated testing pipeline and general workflows that empower openSUSE. We'll explore the Open Build Service (OBS) and openQA, demonstrating how they enable a small team to achieve impressive results.
