CTO at Prozorro.Sale
In Pozorro.Sale we run public e-auctions. From the very beginning, we decided to make our trading system open source. There are three reasons for this. First of all, we want our auctions to be trusted. Another one - we believe that public services should be really public. And the last one - we want to build a technical community around public selling. I’d like to tell you about our presumptions and how they performed in the real world.
Field Engineer at SUSE
France
You’ll hear about Rancher, a software allowing to easily provision, manage and upgrade Kubernetes clusters on AWS, Azure, GKE, vSphere, bare-metal, and others.
The talk starts with a couple of slides, followed by a technical demo. We’re also going to cover Fleet, allowing to use GitOps model for k8s; and k3s, a production-ready lightweight version of k8s.
Founder of the Free Software Foundation
Founder and development leader of the GNU operating system
Stallman will talk about the free software movement, the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL), and specifically about the advances in GNU GPL version 3
Dr. Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 and started the development of the GNU operating system (see www.gnu.org) in 1984. GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to copy it and redistribute it, with or without changes. The GNU/Linux system, basically the GNU operating system with Linux added, is used on tens of millions of computers today. Stallman has received the ACM Grace Hopper Award and the ACM Software and Systems Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer Award, and the the Takeda Award for Social/Economic Betterment, as well as several doctorates honoris causa, and has been inducted into the Internet Hall of Fame.
Co-founder of VictoriaMetrics
Building a company around free software product is not something new. What's less common is creating a company in order to build a free software product. This talk will cover our story of creating time series database, the lessons we learned, the mistakes we made.
The free software world has changed over the last years. The one thing remains essential - importance of community, people who use the product.
Roman is a software engineer with experience in distributed systems, monitoring and high-performance services. Prior to VictoriaMetrics, Roman has worked at Cloudflare, but then decided to join the VictoriaMetrics team.
Director of Server Engineering at Percona
Running databases in Kubernetes attracts a lot of attention today. Orсhestration of MySQL on Kubernetes is no way a straightforward process. There are several good MySQL based solutions in the open source world, made by Oracle, Presslabs, and Percona. Having common base, they differ in self-healing capabilities, multimaster and backup/restore support, etc. So let’s make a fair comparison to figure out the pros and cons of their current state.
Mykola is Kubernetes and Clouds lover and, currently, his goal to bring databases into Kubernetes world. Since 2004, most of his career has focused on development of monitoring, update and deployment systems.
Driver Developer at Intel
ACPI SSDT overlays are quite useful for embedded devices when one may change device configuration at runtime, while being advertised as a debug mechanism in that case. The goal here is to show how to create an overlay for the most used peripherals (usually I²C or SPI connected) and manage it at runtime.
Andy Shevchenko was born in Donetsk in 1977. He studied electronics engineering at the State University of Donetsk and graduated in 1999. Andy joined Intel Finland Oy in May 2011. He has participated in few projects since and eventually become one of the active contributors to the GNU/Linux kernel. Andy has over fifteen years of software development experience in GNU/Linux environment, especially in a peripheral drivers area in the kernel. During this time he has contributed hundreds of patches to the Linux kernel. In his current position, he has been working on pin control, GPIO, ACPI, and other areas related to the hardware support.
Tech Lead at Portside
Dhall is a strongly typed functional configuration language. This talk will start with Dhall basics and tell a story of real-life refactoring of Kubernetes configuration to Dhall.
Head of Customer Solutions
Security Software Engineer at Cossack Labs
Maintaining cross-platform free software cryptographic library is a journey full of unexpected bugs, language-specific hacks, difficult decisions and endless struggle to make developer-facing APIs easy-to-use and hard-to-misuse.
Coordinator at OpenUp Ukraine
I want to talk about free software/open source for IT solutions for government, local administrations.
Session will consist of brief introduction, collection ideas and proposing a plan for public code in Ukraine.
