Achieving culture change in the technology enterprise can be daunting. A top down approach can be risky as “culture shock” may cause attrition. How can technologists change culture organically from the bottom? Tools can do this incrementally as adoption increases and dramatically changes the way engineers engage work. We will talk about using tools to achieve cultural change, and introducing products in the enterprise that incentivize standardization through inspiration not fiat.
Linux is a robust and secure operating system with a rich array of applications. The Southern California Linux Expo is once again providing those who want to start using Linux an opportunity to learn how. SCALE will provide a one-day Installfest + basic system administration class on Saturday, February 21st, 2015.
Mobile devices have taken the lead over desktops and laptops in the past few years, and every major provider of software is trying to make the transition to this new way of computing. Out goal, which we call "Convergence", aims to simplify the platform for app developers, giving them a consistent set of tools, interface, and experiences from mobile to desktop to televisions. In this talk I will present each of these challenges and how Ubuntu has overcome them, what that means for app developers, as well as what consumers can expect from Ubuntu when running it on multiple devices.
Docker, LXC/LXD, MAAS, Kubernetes, Juju, CloudFoundry, Snappy, OpenStack, just to name a few. And you might want to do these things on x86, ARM, or POWER. The list goes on and on!
There's been a ton of innovation in the cloud lately, find out how Ubuntu Cloud and Server is bringing these to you
Join the Ubuntu Server Product and Engineering Managers for a deep dive including a full overview of security features, and our choice of favorite new capabilities found in kernel and userland features.
Kicking off this year's Ubucon, this talk will outline achievements in the Ubuntu world over the last year, and opportunities for the year ahead.
With the critical role applications play in adoption of Ubuntu, tools and resources for crafting custom software solutions will be the focus of this talk.
Whether a professional programmer or an end-user eager to learn, open source scripting languages like Python, LiveCode, Lua and more offer everyone a chance to make applications for themselvesm their friends, and the organizations they work with.
Jono Bacon spent eight years at Canonical as the Ubuntu Community Manager and was one of the most public representatives of Ubuntu. He left for XPRIZE in May 2014.
In this new presentation, Bacon shares the history of Ubuntu, what the future, how the Canonical machine works, and shares some candid new insights from stepping outside of Canonical. He will also show the new bq Ubuntu phone, of which only a few are in the USA, and have a full Q&A.
Free and Open Source licenses are a key part of how FOSS works, but most of us do not fully understand how (or why) they work. After reviewing over 350 FOSS licenses for Fedora, I've seen almost everything and can share my wisdom with you. In this talk, I'll cover the commonly used FOSS licenses, describe how they work, and even point out some of the unique licenses on the fringe of our universe. Bonus: I've been reading Legalese for years (as a non-lawyer who regularly works with lawyers at Red Hat), so I can translate licenses back to English.
The UpSCALE talks are held in the style of the Ignite presentations made popular by various O'Reilly sponsored events. Participants are given five minutes to speak on a subject accompanied by 20 automatically-advanced slides, making this a fast paced, fun event for participants and audience. The UpSCALE talks will take place on Friday the 20th at 8pm in the La Jolla room. Please join us as members of the Free and Open Source community do their best to beat the clock and get their ideas out!
Boot a beaglebone running XFCE with USB mouse and keyboard connected, and both input devices will likely behave as expected. Venture away from this limited use case (ubiquitous embedded board serving as mini-desktop-replacement), and things start to get more interesting. Embedded USB controllers present embedded Linux developers with special challenges and features not encountered in desktop or server Linux systems.
