Reproducing Bullseye in practice
The goal of this talk is to give a an update on the state of Reproducible Builds for the upcoming Debian “bullseye” release, focussing on the promise of enabling anyone to independently verifying that binaries distributed on ftp.debian.org were made using the sources.
It’s been 7 years since Reproducible Builds were first introduced to the Debian community at large at DebConf13 in Vaumarcus and much progress has been achieved since, yet without some dedicated actions from several teams in Debian it will very hard to verify those binaries we actually distribute.
So the idea is to present the curent status of the project together with a hopefully complete list of bugs preventing the above promise from being reality and sparking some work together to fix at least some of the bugs during DebConf 20 online.

Debian LTS BoF
On July 18th Stretch LTS starts, offering two more years of security support to the Debian Stretch release. Stretch LTS will be the fourth iteration of LTS, following Squeeze LTS which started in 2014, Wheezy LTS in 2016, and Jessie LTS in 2018.
The LTS team would like to gather together to discuss the work they’ve done so far and the work that needs to be done for the upcoming years, areas that could be improved upon, and potentially discussing the feedback that we’ve got from the LTS survey!
