Do you like your changelogs?
František Lachman, Laura Barcziova

Changelogs – the essential but often underestimated narrative of software updates. Ever found yourself in the dilemma of "keep it short" versus "give me all the details" when documenting changes? You're not alone.

Join us for an engaging discussion where we'll collectively tackle the changelog chaos. Throughout the talk, we'll navigate the complexities, explore best practices, brainstorm areas for improvement, and share experiences.

Whether you're an upstream maintainer, a coding enthusiast, a downstream package maintainer, or simply intrigued by the challenges, your perspectives are more than welcome. Come, share your thoughts, and let's make sense of the changelogs together!
