Presentations
Open-access communications platforms on the Internet have made building social capital more critical than ever for connected digital citizens. Focusing on the Discord platform, this presentation explains the effectiveness of its features in making community building and social capital accessible for users. As online communities continue to rise in popularity and usage, digital leadership becomes ever more important and valuable. Join Alex Moral to learn more about key principles in building social capital online, starting a community from scratch and becoming a digital leader.
Delve into the often-overlooked aspect of open source hiring: the candidate experience. Discover how open source companies can elevate candidate experience to drive reputation, community advocacy, and future hires. This talk covers key strategies in automation, transparency, and policy, giving hiring teams actionable steps to create a standout candidate experience.
A behind-the-scenes look at how our small systems engineering team manages our infrastructure. This is centered around MySQL and MongoDB.
We'll go through real-world implementation with code examples, showing how we:
- Built a flexible automation framework that adapts to new technologies
- Created a sustainable way for a small team to manage enterprise-scale infrastructure
- Turned "those #@$% servers" into well-behaved, predictable systems
Ceph is an open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability. It runs on commodity hardware, has no single point of failure, and is supported in the Linux kernel.
This tutorial will describe the Ceph architecture, share its design principles, and discuss how it can be part of a cost-effective, reliable cloud stack.
Explore the evolving integration of CephFS with OpenStack Manila in this session, where we’ll delve into the unique features CephFS brings to cloud file systems. We’ll cover the trade-offs of CephFS Native and CephFS NFS, highlighting practical reasons why each might not fit all use cases. Wrapping up, we’ll look at future innovations, like the SMB driver and VirtIOFS, that promise to expand functionality and use cases for OpenStack file sharing. Join us for a deep dive into these powerful tools and their future in cloud architecture.
The adoption of open source software is on the rise across all industries, but what 'open source' means (even if they use the right licenses) is getting muddier and muddier. It can be hard to know for sure whether your efforts will benefit a corporation, a community, or both.
In this talk you will get a crash course on open source licensing, the differences and similarities in open source projects depending on who's funding it, the different ways you can engage with the types of projects, and how to decide what type of project you want to work on.
This talk will focus on the development of an open-source Earth System Model (ESM) by the Climate Modeling Alliance (CliMA), which aims to address the limitations of existing, outdated ESMs that are computationally expensive and not readily publicly accessible. CliMA's model is being built from scratch to be less resource-intensive while maintaining scientific accuracy, making it more useful to the broader scientific community. The talk will highlight the benefits of providing such a model as open source to support climate research and collaboration.
Many organizations have adopted the cloud for software deployment but still rely on local machines for development. A Cloud Development Environment (CDE) is now essential. This talk explores deploying a secure, scalable CDE that enhances performance and developer experience. Key focus areas include automation, self-service, efficiency, and fostering collaboration. Attendees will learn how to leverage cloud-native technologies, justify costs, and ensure long-term innovation, reducing time-to-market and boosting competitiveness.
Learn how cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes are revolutionizing database software, enabling scalability, resilience, and agility. Join Divine, a Data on Kubernetes Ambassador to explore real-world examples and best practices for building the next generation of database solutions.
We went from running databases in a typical LAMP stack, to building databases to run in cloud like environments, to actually just running database in the hosted cloud (or a self-run hosted platform like Kubernetes). The principles of running your data stores, however, have not changed, and still require: monitoring, instrumentation, management, compliance, high availability, optimised performance, security, capacity planning, and keeping up with the SLAs.
