Foreman is a large application and getting it our users reliably requires effort. During this talk we'll go through how software gets from developers to users by using exciting things like processes and procedures.
Writing code is nice, but it's useless until users get their hands on it. Foreman developers have been writing code since 2009 and users have gotten their hands on it. Foreman's release team has the not so glorious task to make sure they do.
For the past decade there's been a time based release schedule. Lessons were learned, processes designed, procedures written. We'll walk through the various stages of the release cycle, why we have them and how we make sure we stick to the schedule.
Ewoud has been around in the Foreman community for a long time with his first patch merged in 2012. After spending 5 years in the community, he joined Red Hat in 2017 where he's part of the platform team. You can find his contributions all over the ecosystem.
