Presentations

Owen DeLong
Audience: Everyone
Topic: SysAdmin

An attempt at demystifying basic internet terminology with (hopefully) some humor and levity along for the ride.

We'll look at some of the basic differences between Version 4 and Version 6 and talk about why it matters to you and why it shouldn't have to (even though it does).

We'll also look at some of the parallels between IPv6 adoption and Global Warming and other ways mankind delays solving long term problems until they reach a crisis state.

Tom King
Audience: Everyone
Topic: Embedded

The Yocto Project provides an industry standard set of tools and methodologies for building custom embedded Linux operating systems. In this course, you will learn how the OpenEmbedded build system works with a set of recipes that control everything from the Linux kernel to hardware support. Tom will cover all the basics: installing and configuring the tools, understanding the terminology and the concepts of recipes and layers, and the process of configuring and building recipes.

Amber Graner
Audience: Everyone
Topic: Ubucon

In this talk AK Graner will discuss how she decided to jump head first into open source.  How she overcame her fear of contribution and how you can too.  In a raw unflitered, yet honest, passionate and sincere presentation she will discuss overcoming imposture syndrome in order to use Linux and participate in its communities, co-author 2 books, write for internationally published magazines and became the community manager for two hardware communities.  

Jos Poortvliet
Audience: Everyone
Topic: Mentoring

Us geeks think we're very clever. We get paid to think, after all. So we must be smart, yes?

Nope, big nope. Over the last decades, psychologists have uncovered hundreds of situations in which people consistently do silly stuff. And believing we're rational doesn't make it so.

I'll tell you what's wrong with your head. And, to sooth the pain, I have a few tips for dealing.

Dan Kimmel
Audience: Everyone

Designing a reliable, performant data replication system is difficult, but ZFS provides built-in tools to help. This talk gives an overview of the send/receive mechanisms in ZFS that allow simple incremental replication to remote systems, and describes two new features that improve the workflow even further: the ability to resume a partially-complete replication after network outages or machine reboots and compression of the replication stream to speed up transfers.
