Gothenburg 2026

When: September 22-24.

What: Three days to continue the growth of the Reproducible Builds effort.

As a follow up to the seven previous reproducible builds workshops in Athens 2015, Berlin 2016, Berlin 2017, Paris 2018, Marrakech 2019, Venice 2022, Hamburg 2023 and Hamburg 2024 Vienna 2025 the reproducible builds folks have met again! And just like previous years, the heart of the workshop were three days of moderated sessions with the goals outlined just below.

Where:
Clarion Hotel Draken
Fasangasse Seminarzentrum
Olof Palmes Plats 2
413 30 Göteborg
Sweden

It was followed by three extra days of pure hacking time, September 25-26 2026, for all of those who wished to stay longer.

Goals

As previously, the exact content of the meeting were to be shaped by the participants, these are our main goals as organizers:

Physically meet each other! As the saying goes: a picture is worth more than a 1000 words and a personal interaction is worth more than a 100 emails :-)
Update & exchange about the status of reproducible builds in various projects.
Improve collaboration both between and inside projects.
Expand the scope and reach of reproducible builds to more projects.
Establish space for more strategic and long-term thinking than is possible in virtual channels.
Brainstorm designs on tools enabling users to get the most benefits from reproducible builds.
Work together and hack on solutions.
Discuss how reproducible builds will be usable and meaningful to users and developers alike.

Agenda

The agenda as usual will be shaped by the interest of our attendees.
