Description:

Gamification - using game elements and tactics in a non-game context - is in the middle of it's hype cycle. Companies integrate game elements in their products, services or events that will give consumers a completely different experience. But why? And why now? What are the trends that made gamification a hype?

This talk is about engagement design or gamification. In the first part it will explain the difference between serious games and gamification. Which of the elements and tactics from gaming can be used outside of games to engage consumers? Can gamification give you as a company the solution to connect with your customers? Social media is giving us the tools to go into conversation. But how do you keep them interested? And how do you keep them engaged? In the second part I will discuss examples from the industry and show which are successful.

After this talk you know what it is that makes gamification a useful strategy for any business looking to better approach and engage its audience.

Description:

This talk explores how the OpenRelief team, inspired by challenges seen during the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, is using Open Source Software and Open Hardware to create disaster relief tools. The first step is to develop a small drone that can take off from anywhere, recognize roads, people and smoke while also measuring weather and radiation. It can be built for less than 1,000 USD, and easily shares information with Open Source and proprietary disaster management systems. The goal is to gather critical information for relief workers on the ground, and contribute to getting aid where it is needed.

This talk is suitable for developers and project managers who want to see how new solutions are rapidly prototyped using open hardware and software, the challenges and advantages faced, and how this approach can solve old problems in new ways. It will be delivered by the co-founder of OpenRelief.

Description:

In 2006 Makezine, a magazine aimed at people who enjoy making all kinds of things themselves, came up with the owners manifesto. The manifesto was introduced as: “If you can't open it, you don't own it: a Maker's Bill of Rights to accessible, extensive, and repairable hardware.” The manifesto is a very practical statement aimed towards the manufacturing industry. Makezine and like-minded people want to be able to repair and tinker with products. In other words, make them their own.

In this presentation Bas van Abel takes one of Waag Society's latest projects, FairPhone, as a starting point to explore the invisible systems behind our products. From the conflicts around mineral mining in Congo to the business models that create closed and "designed for the dump" phones. By opening up a phone or any other product to the source, you open up the systems that make it into a product. You get to understand the actions that are needed to change these systems. Bas believes that this "ownership through opening" will catalyze more responsibility, both within the industry and within society.

Description:

Defensive publications are documents that provide descriptions and artwork of a product, device or method, so that it enters the public domain and becomes prior art. This powerful preemptive disclosure prevents other parties from obtaining a patent on the product, device or method. It enables the original developers or inventors to ensure that they have access to their own work by preventing others from later making patent claims on it. It also means that they do not have to bear the cost of patent applications. Defensive Publications are endorsed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) as an IP rights management tool.

The Defensive Publications Program is a part of Linux Defenders, which is supported by the Open Invention Network (OIN). It enables developers and other non-attorneys to submit defensive publications quickly by using a simple Web-based form. After submission the defensive publication is reviewed and edited as needed by OIN personnel at no charge. The completed defensive publication is then added to the IP.com database, which is used by Examiners at the USPTO to search for prior art when examining patent applications.

To prevent future patent wars and unencumbered use and reuse of Open Source code, we need your help to create defensive publications. At this conference you can bring your ideas for inclusion into the Defensive Publication program. We will sit down with you, explain how to write a defensive publication for your idea and help you write and submit it

Description:

Wikipedia has changed the lives of many people by providing them access to the knowledge of the world. However Wikimedia, the movement behind Wikipedia and its sister-projects, has still not reached its goal of providing this knowledge to everyone for free. One large obstacle is the fact that smaller Wikipedias do not have the manpower to maintain an article base as large as the bigger Wikipedias can. This problem is now being tackled with Wikidata, a new Wikimedia project. It will build a large common free and open data repository for the Wikipedias and the world. This will allow the small Wikipedias to benefit from the research work that the large Wikipedias are doing. At the same time this will build a repository of facts about the world we live in - from the date of birth of a famous person to the length of a river to the number of inhabitants of a city. Wikidata is currently being built as part of a 1-year project at Wikimedia Germany with funding from Google, [ai]² and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

There will be a keysigning event at the miniconf. It will happen on Sunday at 13:30. It will be held at the Gentoo room, unless the number of participants is too high. In this case we will move to the main hall or even out in the street.

There is no central key registry for this keysigning. Instead it will simply be a keyslip exchange.

What to bring:

• Yourself
• Paper slips with your key id, fingerprint, name & emails.
• Something to identify yourself. Usually government-issued
• identification, such as a passport. Multiple pieces of identification are preferred.

If you need to make new paper slips, this generator tool is suggested: http://openpgp.quelltextlich.at/slip.html

At this time, there are 50+ attendees expected at the keysigning event, so you should bring at least that number of slips. Doubling that may be advisable if the event ends up being very large.

Bohužel jde o one man project a Tomáš se kvůli rodině a práci na plný úvazek už dále nemohl zabývat svým koníčkem. Poslední verzi Slaxu tak vydal před třemi lety.

Nyní, po vydání rozhovoru na toto téma v magazínu ROOT, získal Tomáš potřebné investory, kteří mu umožní věnovat se místo dosavadní práce právě Slaxu. Petr Krčmář, šéfredaktor serveru ROOT, povede moderovanou diskuzi s Tomášem. Připravte si otázky!

I plan the talk as an introduction to Nix package manager and NixOS built upon it. First I shall explain its unique features such as safe non-root installations with automatic sharing, simultaneous presence of any number of version and configuration combinations, atomic and quick switches among them, and more. I will show how the properties are achieved and why it is necessary to break the standard filesystem layout to achieve them. The principles are then extended to whole-OS management, which allows to deploy systems from declarative configurations and switch among configurations both in GRUB or while running.

I expect more people not understanding Czech than those not understanding English. Therefore I plan the slides to be in English. I can talk both in English and Czech, I plan to let the listeners choose at the beginning. The talk can be longer than 20 minutes if desired but I believe it should be enough as the main point is bringing more people to our distribution's tiny community.

That means fast fulltext search in large mailboxes, easy tracking of bushy threads, etc. First, we will show interesting uses of the 'limit' command in mutt, mainly together with the fulltext mail indexer notmuch. An open discussion on alternatives, interesting MUA features and other ideas will follow.

Description:

Many small charities are starved for funds and IT expertise. My small company fills that gap. This talk discusses the composition of a rather complete server based on OpenSUSE 11.4 with all open source components, plus a hot spare backup. Central to it is OpenLDAP as an identity store. Complicating internal matters is creating management interfaces for local users who are not IT specialists, and they have no Linux shell accounts. Clients are both local and remote, which means file access needs careful consideration, which we have done.

The discussed system has been in operation for over a year, with positive results.

The moral of the story is we can provide modern servers with a variety of useful applications, all from open source, but much careful thinking and design is needed to make this viable for users.

AppArmor is an effective and easy-to-use Linux application security system. It restricts applications to their known-good set of permissions (called "AppArmor profile"), enforces this good behaviour and prevents even unknown application flaws from being exploited.

This talk explains how to use AppArmor, how to create and update AppArmor profiles, how to secure a typical webserver and some creative usage of AppArmor (for example read-only root access for doing a backup). The syntax of the AppArmor profiles will also be explained.

The talk will last about 30 minutes.

The remaining time can be used as a workshop - every participiant can create an AppArmor profile for his/her favorite program or a program/package he/she maintains in openSUSE (which might be the same ;-)

Description:

ARM has become one of the most widely used platforms running Linux & open source in a large number of mobile and embedded devices. In adopting Linux and other open source projects, many companies have evolved their working practises; moving from traditional closed development to using open source software components, and contributing changes back to upstream projects to enable their platforms, and build a strong developer community around them. Given that ARM is used in such a diverse range of platforms and devices, the challenge for software developers and open source project maintainers has been to integrate and maintain contributions in an efficient way, and limit code duplication to enable them to scale as the number of contributors increases. The Linux kernel has been a very visible example of this, with Linus Torvalds pushing back on contributions forcing some code refactoring and clean-up for redundant implementations. This talk will present the current status of Linux on ARM and how ARM and its partners are addressing these challenges to better support the Linux kernel and upstream open source projects. In addition, ARM partners are contributing performance improvements to the Linux kernel and key open source projects to better perform on ARM CPUs and platforms, where there is a very strong focus on optimizing the balance between power usage and performance. This presentation will also highlight some of Linaro's key contributions in developing and optimizing open source projects on ARM.

Description:

The fdisk tool is perhaps the most recognized disk partitioner in the world, as it has historically been present in Windows and all Unix flavors. While this tool has proven useful and stable for its Linux variant, it as been subject to intense patching along its 20 years of existence, and it is a product of multiple authors, coding styles and concepts. Because of this, extending fdisk to keep up with modern day computing is hard, time consuming and error prone. To address this, during the past few months the fdisk program, part of the util-linux package, has been redesigned and updated to fit the requirements of a modern disk partitioning program. This talk intends to introduce users and developers to the new features that have been worked on (like a brand new API and GPT support) and what work lays ahead.

This work began as part of the Google Summer of Code 2012 program, with direct participation/collaboration from openSUSE. The project, now near completion, included designing and implementing a new API that aids creating disk partitioning tools (like fdisk, cfdisk and sfdisk) and adding EFI/GUID partition table support. Our work has opened the doors to a serious update of the fdisk-family, adding features that are nowadays paramount for any tool of this nature, including: removing CHS addressing, legacy DOS compatibility mode, driver-based label model, generic API for disk partitioning and GPT support, among others.

With this talk, users and developers can gain knowledge of what's going on with fdisk, current efforts and what will be done in the future, like UI enhancements and libfdisk.

Description:

The number of devices which operate in a wireless mode is more and more increasing and there are efforts to make multi-gigabit speed wireless operating over the currently unlicensed 60 GHz frequency band. Thus the transfer of an operating system image over a wireless line is no longer just a vision and we prepared a procedure to deploy KIWI built appliances over a wireless network to the client.

Booting a computer via the PXE protocol is an established process. Most Ethernet network cards are equipped with a firmware that controls the process or at least the BIOS of the computer is able to handle PXE. The client broadcasts for an IP address from a DHCP server followed by calling a bootloader which has to conform to the PXE (Preboot-Execution Environment) specification. On Linux pxelinux is used for this and loads the kernel and initrd via the TFTP protocol.

There is no such execution environment available for wireless networks. Therefore we preinstall a small kernel and initrd on the client so that it can connect to an access point and starts to operate over the wireless network.

Along with the presentation we will describe in detail how to use this feature, e.g how to add the wireless credentials in a safe way.

We use this feature to deploy cash-registers in stores of large retails operators. In the presentation we describe the use-case and provide also general overview of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service product.

Recently quite a lot of development has been done to implement VFIO, an architecture-independent device-passthrough for qemu. This infrastructure has been merged in linux 3.5 and qemu upstream. Its primary goal is to support SR-IOV with qemu, so that real device-passthrough will be available on all architectures.

However, some devices like the megasas driver already have a semi-virtualized interface to the hardware. So with VFIO we can lift that hardware interface directly to the guest with just minimal processing. This should give us near bare-metal performance.

This talk will give an overview over VFIO and how megasas can operate on top of it.

As one of the guys operating the openSUSE maintenance processes, Marcus will give an overview and a technical look inside the currently lived openSUSE maintenance processes.

The update work flow at the project/package level within the openSUSE buildservice is similar to the OSC collaboration processes with the development projects, but not entirely so. Instead of development projects, the maintenance workflow uses so called incidents projects, where maintenance updates are prepared and staged and after successful preparation enter the review processes from the build and potentially the QA teams. These incident projects are self-contained and only build against released updates, making parallel work on updates easier and less error prone.

For the packagers only some process rules and methods change, like certain packaging requirements and using a "maintenance" branch instead of a regular branch checkout of the packages.

Description:

This technical paper explores the mobile printing unsolved problems, probable solutions and hashes out the conceptual printing models for future and some unrestricted ideas

Eliminate the printer specific driver on the work station or device and produce a printable data on the devices where print graphics is absent. The print rendering pipeline and the print sub system variegates across work station computers. And the need for the driver increases since the number of work stations are increasing and more importantly the graphics print quality varies across print sub systems. And in most of the mobile computing devices do not have the print rendering pipe line and the drivers associated to the printer. They are dependent on the external application and print rendering system for a quality print needs. In this paper, the solutions for the above mentioned unsolved problems are discussed and recommendations and proposals are made.

systemd has been integrated and turned on by default in openSUSE 12.1. After the first set of integration bugs, systemd is becoming more and more stable in openSUSE.

What should we do next ?

• drop sysvinit ?
• get packagers to write systemd native units to slowly initscripts
• integrate latest systemd (with udev in the same package)
• world domination !

We might also discuss dracut (cross distribution initramfs generator) if time permit

Description:

Logging is often an afterthought in software development. Even if it is done, it's often limited to debug messages useful only for developers, which is not enough in a production environment. This is why logging should be an integral part of development from the beginning, including a logging infrastructure similar to production environments.

The presentation will show some basic concepts about planing what to log, how to log, and how to use syslog-ng for collecting logs centrally:

• What to log for reporting (SANS top 7 log reports) and for troubleshooting.
• Why to use syslog: the importance of central log collection: security and the ease of use.
• Free form logs vs. structured, how the use of name value pairs eases reporting AND day to day operations.
• CEE: Common Event Expression, standardization of log messages
• How syslog-ng can help you: patterndb to extract useful information from log messages, JSON output and parser for standardized handling of name value pairs, mongodb output to support storing arbitrary name value pairs
• Using opensource tools to search and analyze logs

Syslog-ng is the default syslog implementation in Gentoo and SLES and available in openSUSE.

Description:

Clojure's interactive features provide programmers with a remarkable ability to create software with a unique and highly responsive development process. This can be seen to broadly similar to the differences between the waterfall model and more recent agile approaches yet at an different timescale - that of moments vs minutes, rather than days vs weeks. Programming with an approach which allows one moment to flow frictionlessly to another without having to wait for compile cycles gives the developer a unique workflow which will be examined in detail in this session.

We will cover the art of Live Programming with Clojure, including elements such as interactive editors, REPL sessions, realtime visuals and sound, live documentation and on-the-fly-compilation whilst repeatedly demonstrating that these techniques aren't just useful for artistic endeavours but also a powerful and persuasive technique to be applied in industrial contexts.

Recent X86 processors have sophisticated power management features which can be influenced by the operating system, but are mostly hidden. Deep sleep states have latencies which can affect interrupt delivery timings significantly. Processor cores can be run at high, overclocked frequencies under specific circumstances. CPUpower allows to alter the behavior of these features. It can also be used to monitor them and to better understand anomalies when measuring CPU or IO perfomance of specific workloads.

Description:

Today, openSUSE supports two distinct (and conflictig) approaches for the configuration and management of network interfaces. You can either use the "traditional" sysconfig based approach with the ifup/ifdown command line utilities, or you can use NetworkManager. Both have their pros and cons, but neither is really designed to cover all use cases well. At the same time, we're faced with a lot of challenges, as the requirements on network configuration get more complex. IPv6 has been around for a while now, but doing it Right[tm] requires a much more flexible and dyamic approach to interface management than we support today. Beyond that, virtualization creates a whole new set of problems, with virtual interfaces getting created and torn down on the fly, and with management facilities like libvirt or openvswitch that are hard to reconcile with either of the existing methods. To address these issues, we would like to propose a unified, layered management framework for network interfaces. Some code for this exists today, and we are looking into getting this accepted for the next release of openSUSE. We would like to use the talk to discuss the design with the community, present the current state of the project and gather feedback and suggestions.

About the speaker:

Jmenuji se Petr Šimčík, je mi ke třicítce, dělám grafika a webmastera v několika firmách a sem tam něco na volné noze. Také jsem ten, kdo je z větší části zodpovědný za sobotní komiks na Rootu. Ve volných chvílích něco kutím v Inkscape (například tyhle wallpapery jsou čistý Inkscape http://petrsimcik.deviantart.com/gallery/27202775), věnuji se některému ze stovek pomíjivých koníčků, které střídám jako ponožky případně si čtu nějakou dobrou sci-fi, méně už fantasy a občas i něco reálného :)

Dříve jsem se snažil přispívat nějakou tou grafikou pro okrajové české distribuce, ale Linux tak nějak vyšuměl z mého života. Občas mám sice záchvěv melancholie, ale většinou mě to hodně rychle přejde. Co mi zůstalo je Gimp a inkscape jako hlavní pracovní nástroje. Gimp poslední dobou jen velmi okrajově, asi to způsobila nová verze či co. S Inkscape pracuji už hodně dlouho. Zaujal mě svou dokonalou uživatelskou přívětivostí s níž se podle mě ostatní programy nemohou rovnat (Což, jak jistě uznáte, je u opensource jev hodný pozornosti záhadologů.). Protože je Inkscape v našich luzích a hájích poněkud opomíjený, zabývám se ve volném čase i jeho propagací. Podstrkávám ho na fórech :), ale hlavně občas napíšu nějaký ten tutoriál a když se namane tak dám i workshop. Vedl jsem Inkscape workshop na digilabu AVU. Když to dobře dopadne, někdy před vánoci bych měl k sazbě odevzdávat rukopis uživatelské příručky.

About the speaker:

My name is Baltasar Ortega Bort (aka baltolkien). I'm 39 years old and I'm from Vila-real, a little town at north of Valencia and I'm a fan and a user of openSUSE distro & KDE Desktop. I'm a teacher from secundary level in a little school. I discovered Free Software, Linux, openSUSE and KDE in 2005, when I installed a OpenSuSE 9.3 in my PC, with a lot of problems with my usb modem. From this year all my computers (and a few of friends computers) have Linux Inside ( :) ) This hobby led three years ago that I launched to create a blog called KDEBlog (www.kdeblog.com), about the KDE desktop, their applications and their Distros (openSUSE is my favourite distribution, almost I use Kubuntu in my laptop. I want learn about the most distributions I can) in Spanish, one of my mother tongues, to reach the maximum of users in Spain and many Latin American countries.

About the speaker:

My name is Nelson Marques and I live in the city of Aveiro (northern Portugal) where I also currently work for Portugal Telecom Inovação S.A.. I've started using Linux back in 1998 and my first distribution was SuSE Linux 5.2, which I followed up to 2004. In 2001 I've organized up that point the biggest Linux promotion event in Aveiro, which became known as 'LIP Aveiro 2001' in the Cultural Congress Center of Aveiro with the support of SuSE GmbH, Red Hat Inc., Sun Microsystems and others.

On my professional life, I've worked with Linux for many years, and currently my role in PT Inovação (former Center for Telecommunication Studies) is deeply connected to software packaging for a popular Linux distribution. Besides this I also give training and support in packaging to the developers who require it. I'm an avid defender of Linux on the Desktop and I'm working in bringing MATE Desktop, Cinnamon and Unity to openSUSE, being that Cinnamon and MATE are available on repository for testing and Unity is waiting for xorg-x11-proto to support Protocol 6.

I've participated in openSUSE Conference 2010 with a small talk about Marketing (which is my field of credited expertise) and I'm happy to participate once more, though this time in a field which I believe to be one of the most important for openSUSE as a Technological Community. And yeah, I do it for the FUN!
