Everyone can contribute to RHEL now! – Thomas Tomecek
A presentation from the 2021 CentOS Dojo at FOSDEM

CentOS Stream completely changed the rules of the game: everyone in the world can now use the latest development version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux – by using CentOS Stream. You no longer need to wait for a beta or even the general availability if you want to try the latest bits.

Red Hat did not stop with the latest development packages and modules – source code of CentOS Stream is now available and easily browsable. You can now clone a CentOS Stream package locally, such as kernel, change it and send Red Hat a patch. It would be then up to the maintainers if they accept it or not. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the contribution workflow, so you have a complete understanding of the process, tooling, gotchas and where to find help.

In this session, we’ll quickly introduce CentOS Stream (though we recommend attending our other session to know all the details) and then show you how to contribute to the ecosystem.
