Packaging is not an easy thing to learn, and learning it is much more suited to sitting down and messing around with some packages rather then watching a talk. However, as someone who has been packaging for many years now I believe there are alot of hints and tips I can give to someone starting out.

I will start with some basics on how packaging in openSUSE works, how to find the right version of a package to fork and where to submit your packages, then I will go over some basics with the obs web interface then touch on the command line interface.

I will then give an overview of rpm spec files covering the more important parts that regularly need to be changed, such as version updates and doing desktop files right, I will then move onto rpmlint and some of the common errors that it throws up, then I will look at some common build errors and how to fix them. Then i'll briefly cover the places you can go to find more info and documentation.
