CI / CD / Distribution

Every project has builds, tests, and some means to distribute artifacts, but there is no standard solution. Many converge on GitHub (via Actions/GHCR/Packages), but there is a wide variety of problems in this space, and stories to tell.

Do you want to get the members of your project together to discuss a feature or issue? Or perhaps plan the work for the next major release? Project meeting submissions can be used to book a space for your project to get together and take advantage of face-to-face time to get things done!
