Nextcloud is your private cloud.
Your data, your cloud.
Nextcloud joined the Fediverse with ActivityPub integration.
Use Nextcloud for private, secure cloud features such as collaboration tools, file sync and phone sync.
In addition to the Nextcloud Talk for video calls it integrates with Big Blue Button for full classroom and meeting style video conferencing.
Nextcloud was created to be Free Software.
Using the copyleft AGPL helps ensure it will remain Free in the future.
Be your own cloud with web forms, project management, password management and collaborative office suite.
U-Boot is the universal bootloader used on a vast majority of embedded systems, development kits, products and so on. This session is an introduction into the U-Boot bootloader, including a hands-on part, and covers practical topics like identifying that the board is running U-Boot, accessing and exploring the U-Boot shell, including advanced scripting techniques to make life easier, obtaining information about the current hardware, accessing buses and storage and finally booting the kernel.

Vitess (vitess.io) is a framework built on top of MySQL for horizontally scaling MySQL. It was designed at Google for scaling YouTube through hyper-growth and has since then been release to Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) were it is considered a "graduated project".

IT Revolution published a new novel based on The Phoenix Project narrative in September 2022. It’s about an investment bank dealing with DevOps, DevSecOps, and IT Risk. John as co-author of this bestseller will share with the story behind the book and how it was created.d. it was created.. It’s about an investment bank dealing with DevOps, DevSecOps, and IT Risk.

Up until fairly recently, you had to make that difficult decision up-front when modeling your JSON data: document or relational database? Yes, you could use two separate databases, using each tool for what they’re best at. Alternatively, if have an existing PostgreSQL workload and wanted to extend this to support JSON use cases, this session is for you! Postgres has had JSON support for a while but with recent versions, Postgres now handles JSON really well. In this session, I cover the benefits of using JSON, anti-patterns to avoid, and an example of how to use JSON in Postgres.

In a world where speech depends on software, free speech depends on free software. Or: in a world where billionaires control our social, work and communication platforms, maybe we need to pay attention.
In this kitten-laced presentation I'll make the case for worries about privacy and how open source & decentralization can fix it. Will I mention Musk and twitter? You bet. Also, Facebook, Tik Tok, and Twitter.
And tons of cool, open source, decentralized alternatives from all over. Like Nextcloud (ask me anything!) but also Mastodon, Peertube, Matrix and more.

<p>Understanding the cost and efficiency of Kubernetes is essential once you start expanding your infrastructure with production workloads. The CNCF Sandbox OpenCost project and specification models current and historical Kubernetes cloud spend and resource allocation by service, namespace, labels, and more. This data provides cloud bill transparency which can be used as the basis for optimizing your Kubernetes deployments. Optimizing Kubernetes for cost and performance is an ongoing iterative process that starts with applications and works through the entire stack.</p>


Kubernetes is just for big server farms, no? No! You can run Kubernetes in your own home or small office, and build your own on-prem bare-metal cluster. Join some community folks who have done so to discuss how to do this, and share your own experiences with running small, on-prem clusters.

After thirty years of FOSS advocacy, issue and problems in approach have begun to emerge. Strategic mistakes in response to new technologies has often led to large areas of software endeavor to remain proprietary. While for-profit companies have been rewarded with great efficiency benefits and other perks from their adoption of FOSS, rarely do these benefits trickle down to consumers and end-users in their daily computing lives. This talk examines our past mistakes in advocacy and activism, and considers what to do next.

In this talk, we will discuss open project management through the lens of NASA's F´ flight software framework. Starting with an understanding of a project's open-source goals, we’ll analyze the paths to open management, cover management practices, discuss common problems, and dive into the dilemma of community engagement. This talk will close with a look toward future potential challenges. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how to manage their open-source projects, and a better understanding of the challenges faced by those who manage the projects we have all come to love.
