[rb-general] submission: Reproducible Toolchains For The Win!

[Vagrant Cascadian]

I'd like to present the proposal below for Cauldron2019.

It also might be nice to arrange related BoF or workshop if anyone is
interested in divig directly into the issue.

Please let me know if you'd like any additional information, and thanks
for considering!

live well,

Reproducible Toolchains For The Win!

The Reproducible Builds project promotes a set of software development
practices that create an independently-verifiable path from source to
binary code, by providing bit-for-bit identical results.

A key component in building software are the toolchains used. Solving
reproducibility issues at the toolchain level can sometimes fix
thousands of bugs in a single place, rather than patching each
individual affected package.

As an interesting side-effect, Reproducible Builds can also assist in
verifying license compliance.

This talk will mention some of the past and current issues in
toolchains needed to realize Reproducible Builds in the real world.
Let's work together to fix outstanding issues and further these
efforts!
