Cloud for Human Beings
Speaker: Jane Silber
For some people the word "clouds" invoke images of Chaka Kan or Joni Mitchell. For others, it's dwarf galaxies or comic book characters. Even when limiting one's focus to IT, the interpretations and claims associated with the cloud are just as broad. In this talk we'll explore the promise and pitfalls of the cloud, and how we are making Ubuntu the cloud OS for human beings whose feet remain firmly on the ground.

Migrate your existing applications to the cloud
Developers and architects looking to build new applications in the cloud can simply design the components, processes and workflow for their solution, employ the APIs of the cloud of their choice, and leverage the latest cloud-based best practices for design, development, testing and deployment. In choosing to deploy their solutions in a cloud, they can take immediate advantage of instant scalability and elasticity, isolated processes, reduced operational effort, on-demand provisioning and automation. At the same time, many businesses are looking for better ways to migrate their existing applications to a cloud-based infrastructure so that they, too, can enjoy the same advantages seen with greenfield application development. In this session, Jinesh Varia will discuss a practical strategy to migrate your existing applications to the cloud. He will discuss a phase-driven approach to cloud migration and share stories of several enterprise customers who have successfully migrated to AWS cloud including Amazon.com internal corporate IT applications. The session will be filled with lessons learned, tips and some hidden insights that have not been publicly disclosed yet.

Data integration tools aren't new, they're just new to open source. This quick talk will teach you how they can apply to your project, no matter how large or small.
Ever since the mainframe days, banks, governments, and health care conglomerates with fragmented and messy data often relied on commercial solutions for consolidation and analysis. Lawyers negotiated contracts, armies of consultants mobilized, and machines were bolted into racks. Today, there are more accessible tools.
I’d like to talk about why the data industry needed an open source solution, and how open source data integration tools can be applied to projects of any size.

A collection of simple open source communication tools can coordinate thousands of decentralized contributions.
The Unix design philosophy of modularity - simple parts that do one thing well - applies to communication as well as code workflows. We'll give a live demonstration of how a collection of simple Open Source communication tools are used by the Fedora Project to coordinate thousands of contributions to a complex, fast-moving and large-scale technical project in a decentralized manner.
