Presentations
Ubuntu is well-known in the user and server space. However, what is less known is that a lot of developers are using it to target multiple platforms. Ubuntu Make aims at making the Ubuntu distribution really shine for developers.
In this open Q&A session, attendees are invited to bring any questions they have about Ubuntu. Whether you're looking for a particular type of application, want to know how to find Ubuntu events in your area, tips on hardware compatibility, or anything else, Nathan and Richard are on hand to help.
Ubuntu is moving towards a converged future, where all of your devices run the same OS, the same apps and the same data. Your phone can become your desktop when you plug it in to a monitor, your convertable tablet will intelligently adapt to the availablity of a keyboard, and anything can become HTPC when connected to a TV. One interface, adapting to many form-factors, that's convergence with Ubuntu.

For over ten years, the Ubuntu project has had a consistent flow of releases and a strong community. From Day 1 the community was a core part of what made Ubuntu special.
In 2006, Jono Bacon joined as Ubuntu Community Manager, working for nearly 8 years before he left in 2014. In this new presentation, Bacon shares the history of Ubuntu and delves into his view of the community and how it has adjusted since he left Canonical. Bacon will also provide recommendations for new areas of focus and opportunity in Ubuntu.
This is where the unconference begins: you can make it happen! Session topics will submitted by attendees in person, who will then introduce them to the audience.
Following the presentations, the UbuCon crew will put together the schedule. Show up to talk and support all the sessions you'd like to see
In this talk, we describe our ongoing initiative to re-architect “network function virtualization (NFVs)” using the Unikernel concept as the main building block. A quick look at current telco and IT markets trends reveals two main intertwined technologies.
Unikernels are a burgeoning technology, ripe for deployment in a range of situations, from cloud-hosted microservices to Internet-of-Things platforms. By compiling and linking only the required code, they offer a range of benefits over traditional OS-hosted deployments, notably efficiency and, through smaller attack surfaces, security. While increasing in maturity, to date they have remained something of a technologists' choice: technically compelling but requiring considerable effort to build, deploy and use.
