Presentations
Working in technology and open source communities can put you into some high-stress situations. But you don’t want to go over the edge and put yourself in a situation where you are going through burnout. In this session, you’ll hear personal stories and experiences with burnout and learn ways to prevent and manage stress.
Antenna design is commonly regarded as one of the hardest specialties of RF engineering, and frequently called "black magic." But if you're not scared of learning a little magic - and you don't have access to six-figure antenna design software - what are some cool projects you could do as an introduction to designing and building your own antennas?
ProxySQL is a high-performance SQL proxy that runs as a background daemon, accepting incoming traffic from MySQL clients and forwards it to backend MySQL servers. It is often used in environments where Read Traffic needs to be spread out in a slave pool and Write Traffic needs to be directed to a specific server. This presentation will explain and demonstrate a deployment of ProxySQL.
PostgreSQL 13 is slowly approaching feature freeze state, and at this point we have at least some ideas of what features will be included. This talk will take a quick look at what's in there already, and what's in the queue!
Numpy is a widely-used tool for numerical computation in Python. Despite its wide reach, some of its core functionality is opaque, and in need of improvement. I will describe two libraries that aim to make numpy much more pleasant:
"numpysane" provides facilities for reasonable manipulation of dimensions, array concatenation and broadcasting (in both Python and in C).
"gnuplotlib" is a plotting library with gnuplot as the backend. It is fast, has a nice API, and produces the same plots as non-Python-based tools.
The Kubernetes community is a vibrant beacon in open source. It takes a village to enable a city of contributors doing what they do best. There are a lot of fun stories and lessons to be shared from helping out the community. One lesson is taken straight from the Kubernetes project itself: declarative config management. Join us as we journey through the many bits of community automation and weigh the merits of automating every aspect of our community.
The term Service Mesh encapsulates the concepts designed for insight into and control of a distributed application: Observability, Reliability, Security, & Traffic Management. Whether starting from scratch or migrating an application it is important to have insight into the health of the application components and control over the traffic between the components. This talk will use Linkerd as an example to explain each of these concepts and attendees will learn how the concepts work together to make applications more stable and reliable.
Serverless apps are everywhere these days, but how do you get started? How do you decide which provider to go with? I have created the same Python app with 3 services, AWS, Google Cloud & Microsoft Azure. I will go over the highlights and lowlights, and how to judge what’s right for your project.
In our advancing technological world, AI will only become more prevalent in our lives. Tensorflow, an Open-Source application, allows developers to outline, create, and teach Deep Learning technology. Students from Palisades Charter High School examine this application and its features first hand in an AI model to teach it to produce music. Come join us to listen to the music produced utilizing AI to gain practical knowledge on how you can use TensorFlow for your future projects.
We will have many PostgreSQL community members handy -- come ask us anything!
