You probably have an iPhone or Android phone that you used for pictures. Well what do all those pictures say about you or the world you live in? In this session I will show you how to use computer vision data curation to understand: are there themes in your pictures, which pictures are out of focus, which has your pet versus a QR code?
This talk will include working demos, each with Github repositories that you can use later. Come to learn some of the latest AI Computer Vision techniques by using photos you can relate to.
Come along on this ADHD-fueled journey as Jeremy tells _some_ of his journey in tech, all while trying to stay on topic. He’ll dive into some of his early days “hunting squirrels” while also keeping the local librarians employed. He’ll also touch on his experiences through the early days of the internet (not ARPANET, but the “world wide web”) and how he learned to “cope” with this thing called ADHD, without _really_ coping with it, until he had to. You’ll hopefully laugh, probably cry, and that will just be from having to listen to him try to stay on topic.
It started with a product listing for a four-wheeled device that looked like a fun weekend project.
Before long, upgrades made our robot aware of its environment and much more fun to control.
In this talk, attendees can expect to learn the abbreviated version of everything we learned not to do when it comes to building and controlling remotely operated vehicles. We'll dive into the hardware side of things, talk about protocol-driven development, why memory and garbage collection are crucial and how we made all parts work together, reliably.
Have ever wondered how FOSS was actually was supposed stay FOSS for the long term? Have you ever been unsure or confused why — in a world where Linux is on nearly every device — most people cannot actually run an alternative OS build on their device? This talk will leave you informed on these questions and prepared to participate in the next policy steps our community must take to bring back software freedom and rights to the next generation of FOSS users, activists and developers.
This session offers a rapid introduction to deploying generative AI (GenAI) with open source tools tailored for business. Attendees will explore key projects like Enterprise GPT, an open source alternative to proprietary models, gaining practical insights for using GenAI in content creation, search, and analytics. With a focus on collaboration within the open source community, participants will leave equipped to leverage GenAI’s potential and implement customizable, enterprise-ready solutions.
ClickHouse recently undertook a major refactoring of our operator to change how we orchestrate customer-provisioned databases through Kubernetes StatefulSets.
The challenge? Migrating thousands of services to the new orchestration system without any downtime. This talk explores how we accomplished this migration, diving into the complex challenges we faced and solved. We'll cover our custom migration controller, durable execution workflows, and database synchronization hurdles that emerged while keeping ClickHouse Cloud's fleet running smoothly.
We'll cover the basics in darktable for new users: importing files, filtering, tagging and management, and achieving a basic, neutral edit. We'll then transition to more advanced techniques, such as color grading, masking, luminance control, highlight reconstruction, and denoising.
For maximum impact, please have darktable installed on your laptop (https://www.darktable.org/install/) and any raw files you've captured and want to edit.
Right now, there is a tremendous demand for AI ML solutions. The tasks of training and deploying open source AI models and then scaling inference have become crucial to business needs. Even though the underlying libraries are maturing rapidly, MLOps solutions have a long way to go. In this presentation, Crexi (Commercial Real Estate Exchange, Inc.) reveals how it achieved its business objectives with a powerful and flexible pipeline and model deployment solution, using open source tools to deploy open source models in AWS.
In this workshop, Leigh, Tanja, and Nick will show a GitOps workflow for both your team's laptops and Kubernetes clusters.
We'll cover the basics of Nix and Flox, a collaborative interface for using Nix as a team.
Attendees will work together in the hands-on portion to:
- bootstrap a frontend and backend project with Javascript, Go, and Postgres
- declare cross-platform tools and dependencies for build and development
- containerize their build in a Nix-native way
- use GitOps via Flux to promote their service to Kubernetes clusters with zero-downtime deploys
Platform Engineering and DevOps leaders must move beyond traditional technical and productivity metrics to ensure lasting success. Developer Experience (DevEx) is no longer a luxury—it's a critical business factor that directly influences developer retention, minimizes bottlenecks, speeds up time to market, and leads to superior business outcomes, including higher revenue.
Attendees will learn how to effectively communicate the value of DevEx in business value to gain internal buy-in from leadership and stakeholders, even those without a technical background.
