2026 MacAdmins Conference

This full-day workshop combines two half-day workshops.

In the morning:
Automate Anything! Create AutoPkg Processor from scratch
This workshop will walk through the steps of creating an AutoPkg processor from start to finish. It will also cover testing the processor and creating example recipes from it.

In the afternoon:
macOS GitOps: Building Secure and Versioned macOS Script Repos
I once accidentally committed a sensitive API key to GitHub, and I only realized it when Security reached out to me. That is the reason I built Shikomi (https://github.com/maparker/shikomi), an open-source tool I built to help Mac Admins build scripts that are secure and versioned. We will use it as a framework to automate things like versioning, security scanning, and GitHub Actions.

Remember: You've already selected your workshop during registration. Adding this workshop to your sched agenda does not count.

This session will educate admins on the changes and the process of developing and deploying a working security baseline with version 2.0 of the macOS Security Compliance Project. We'll cover what's new from 1.0 and, similar to our session in 2023, have you build your own baselines live. Note: You did not have to be at the 2023 session to know what's going on here.
