Part of Open Source Career Day (OSCD) activities.
With the rise of streaming services, the market for affordable digital media has become more in-demand and lucrative. By combining the accessibility of Cloud Computing (AWS/Oracle) and the open source web development of JellyFin, we created a cheap but reliable scalable streaming service that is accesible to all end users. To understand the architecture of streaming services, we must first look into Cloud Computing and understand how Load Balancing/Auto Scaling compliments the integration of JellyFin. We will also cover how to set up accounts for end users.
There has been, and continues to be, a large push for more diversity in tech. Too often it is overlooked that Open Source communities are leading this charge & have been for over a decade. Come & discuss ways in which we've succeeded & what we can all still do to espouse more diversity and inclusion at our workplaces.
The Arches open source FAIR data management platform, originally developed to manage cultural heritage information, enables governments and organizations worldwide to manage and provide open access to their important data. Learn about the technical details of how this free enterprise software was developed using PostgreSQL, Django, and other OSS technologies to create a flexible system that includes geospatial and semantic capabilities. Also learn about how Arches helps to open access to LA’s cultural resource data and aids in city planning & historic preservation.
You’ve heard about the open source core business model. Now, meet the open data core business model! The Open States project, is the best & oldest source for open legislative data and tools in the US. But foundation funding doesn’t last forever; what models can sustain a long-running open data project into the future?
Civic Eagle answered that question by adopting Open States in 2020. But why would a B2B SaaS firm that runs on policy intelligence give away its “moat”? How does a business with an open data core succeed in driving value for both investors and the public good?
The Library at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has been at the center of the Open and FAIR initiatives for several years. This presentation highlights Library activities involving Open Data (including data governance, DOI minting, metadata, and repository design), Open Access (journal availability and partnering with our Document Review team), a unique partnership with our Knowledge Office and Office Of the Chief Engineer, Ethical AI, and other initiatives.
This presentation is a fight to the death between two leading contenders. In the red corner is Rust, the trendy language armed with thread safety and memory safety. Rust firmware typically runs without an operating system. In the blue corner is Zephyr, the traditional Real-Time operating system (RTOS) from the Linux Foundation. Zephyr comes to the fight as a mature contender with broad hardware support and an extensive feature set. Which approach is right for you: bare metal or RTOS? The goal of this presentation is to help you make that decision.
