Of course we're used to running containers on top of virtual machines, but did you know you can also run virtual machines in containers, or as containers?  And containers on VMs in containers on VMs?  That may sound crazy, but there's plenty of reasons to intermix containers and VMs ... truly they are Two Great Tastes that Taste Great Together.

OpenStack runs one of the largest automated testing environments ever publicly viewed. Some might say you can even see it from space. While supporting the many hundreds of active developers, and landing many hundreds of well tested patches very day, the OpenStack infra team created an advanced Apache licensed CI engine named Zuul.

Until recently, Zuul has been focused entirely on OpenStack's CI space, but many users have sprouted from that. With v3.0 just around the corner, Zuul is ready to take on a wider community and scale your CI to the moon.

GnuCash is an open source accounting software that allows users to track income, transactions, stocks, and other forms of monetary management. In addition, it helps plan upcoming payments, deposits, and investments. In today’s society, many teenagers lack the financial education on how to be fiscally responsible. Financial literacy is an important topic that traditional high schools leave out of the core curriculum, which conflicts with the globalized, commercialized world we live in. As technology and markets grow, so too must the next generation’s knowledge about economics.

Topic: PostgreSQL

In this talk, I will describe what a Kubernetes Operator is, how it is used within a containerized PostgreSQL environment, and the various features found in a reference implementation of an operator. Operators are useful in building an orchestration layer on top of a container platform such as Kubernetes. Orchestration features such as backup, restore, cloning, and upgrades will be highlighted. An operator is an extension of a cloud based PostgreSQL deployment and would be of interest to companies deploying PostgreSQL on cloud environments.

Topic: HAM Radio

Through the years, Amateur Radio has always been the original open-source project; and with “Hams” openly sharing ideas, tools, experience, and  message traffic they continue to support it and their service community. Historically, the origin of the Amateur Radio service was intertwined with the idea of relaying messages.  Back when telegrams and long-distance telephone calls were expensive, and not everyone even had a telephone, many people knew Hams and called upon them to get personal messages to and from distant friends and relatives.
