Rebuilding the build farm: a new package builder architecture by @fossdd , @ptrc
"Today, we still rely on Lua scripts written over ten years ago to build all of our repositories. But Alpine has grown a lot since then: we have many new architectures (one of which, riscv64, is unbelievably slow...), and a single failing test in one package still blocks the upload of all other, unrelated packages. TL;DR: the builders are very often the bottleneck of Alpine development.
To meet our needs today, I'll propose some requirements I think a new architecture should have, along with an idea for what it could look like. Hopefully we can find some interested people and build the "Next Gen. Alpine-Builder"™."

The story of Kodiak - The SoC that can do everything by @z3ntu
"This Qualcomm SoC - code-named Kodiak - is used for many use cases. With its SC7280 variant it's used in laptops and was planned to be used in Chromebooks, the SM7325 variant is used in smartphones, QCM6490 is the IoT variant used in plenty of SBCs and some smartphones, and perhaps we'll see yet another new variant of this chip?
Let's talk about the history of this chip, with a strong eye on Linux kernel development and device bringup."

Lightning talks: Friday, Saturday
Do you have a cool project that is somewhat related to postmarketOS and/or Alpine Linux? Then this is the perfect opportunity to give a short lightning talk about it!
