This talks is split in three topics:

1. openSUSE is not SUSE, it is her sister. There are still too much people outside of open/SUSE world that still confuse the difference and the options they have. This usually leads them to use the wrong distribution for their use cases and thinking that "SUSE" is not working for them. I will describe the current distribution palette and their respe...

The topic of additional repositories comes up on a regular basis. The official position is to submit everything to Factory to avoid the issue, but for a large number of reasons this cannot always be the case. As such users living in the real world have to navigate the unsupported landscape. By far the best approach is to use repository priorities available through libzypp, but unfortunately thi...

Very often we come across a masterpiece of software, while now days almost everything is cool and built for the web, or built with technologies that are changing every single day and moving forward, but often we forget how the user feels when new software is available to download and install, it can be an overwhelming experience.

This talk is meant to talk about how some projects show the tr...

In a way, both Docker and Tor are shrouded in mystery. Containers have been the biggest thing in the IT field in the past few years and yet a lot of people don't know what they are good for. Why not just use a VM? Likewise, Tor is known only for the negative uses and connotations such as "The Dark Web" and "The Deep Web" meanwhile not many people know about the actual positives of the technolog...

Open Build Service frontend was started in 2005, even before the first version of Rails was released.It is most likely one of the oldest Rails Project that people still keep using! That implies that legacy code and refactoring are two daily topics in all OBS developers’ lives.

As said, OBS has already some years and because of that all kind of talks about it have been held: how to use it, it...

In Tumbleweed with have roughly ~25.000 packages for 64-bit architecture. Do you know how many of those are actually install-able? From those who are not, do you know the reason behind? Do you know how many of those will become install-able if boo#123456 gets fixed? And from those which can actually be installed, do you know if there are any glitches at the post-installation scripts?

-Sure, ...

Driven by curiosity and some late night ebay purchases, I ended up down the rabbit hole of building a cloud from scratch: why use OpenStack when you can do it the hard way. This was a great excuse to dive into the various subsystems required to assemble a cloud and to find out how frustrating aspects of it could be.

A cloud is a jigsaw, requiring many different pieces to fit together and co-...

The original Ceph Manager Dashboard that was introduced in Ceph "Luminous" started out as a simple, read-only view into various run-time information and performance data of a Ceph cluster, without authentication or any administrative functionality.

However, as it turns out, there is a growing demand for adding more web-based management capabilities, to make it easier for administrators that ...

Event logging is a central source of information for IT operations and security. The syslog-ng application collects logs from many different sources, performs real-time log analysis by processing and filtering them, and finally it stores the logs or forwards them for further analysis. The same feature set comes in handy in a containerized environment too, where you start and stop containers aro...

Identihub is the first Open Source visual assets management software which can also be self-hosted. Identihub can host icons, logos, photos, fonts and colors on a single page, making it easy to share them with other people, eliminating the need to send .zip fles back and forth with a specific resolution. This makes the collaboration between designers and non-designers easier, as they don't need...

Kdump is a vital tool for debugging severe kernel crashes, especially if the failure can't be reproduced easily or an direct access to the system is not possible.

When an sever error happens in the kernel, a new crash kernel get loaded which saves the memory of the crashed system. These dump can be used to analyze the state of the machine and hopefully give insights on what has happened.

Privacy & Security is a buzz word this 21st century and Cyber security is very important issue. Privacy is mainly defined as a human value consisting of 4 rights: solitude, anonymity, intimacy and reserve. There are many things we can do online from entertaining ourselves all the way up to completing business transactions or any other important things. While the internet allows many people to d...

The current EU Copyright Reform proposal puts pressure on platforms to monitor and filter all content, including uploaded free and open-source software, for copyright infringement (Article 13), proposes a new 20-year license for news snippets (Article 11), and limits who can access datasets -- including open data (Article 3). Any of these would be terrible outcomes. Let's demand better copyrigh...

Šifrování pevného disku je dnes běžná záležitost, šifrovat ale úplně celý disk je vždycky trochu oříšek. V přednášce si předvedeme, jak nastavit takové šifrování, které bude zároveň uživatelsky přívětivé i rozumně bezpečné. Použijeme přitom tyto ingredience: Btrfs, LVM, LUKS, GRUB, UEFI secure boot.

GNU Health is a community driven project. There is a wide spread variety of users that run GNU Health in different scenarios. And there is a community of 'makers', that build the software and brings it to its users.

This presentation will put some light into both communities. For the first time we have collected the end users, and will present some statistics around that.

And for you, th...

Containers would like to be able to make use of Linux Security Modules (LSMs), from providing more complete system virtualization to improving container confinement. To date containers access to the LSM has been limited but there has been work to change the situation.

This presentation will discuss the current state of LSM stacking and namespacing. The work being done on various security mod...

Mycroft is an open source virtual assistant similar to the ones provided on phones by some companies. It provides some interesting functionality, it's open source, it's easily expanded with new functionality and it's fun. During the last hackweek, I packaged it so it's easy to install on Tumbleweed and in this talk I'll try to show how it works, the changes I did to it in order to package it an...

As probably you might know, GNOME hasn't been the most updated in technologies & processes used for the design, development, testing, QA, delivery loop. To be honest, we have been quite behind!

Build fails, not passing tests, contributors stuck with trivial details, each product with different released days, designers and QA in need to build the whole stack to try out a minimal UI change... ...

Containers are becoming more and more popular way how we develop and deploy applications. We trust them to protect our applications, but do we understand how they security model works? How they're isolated and sand-boxed? Let's look at all the pieces in Linux which are there to isolate and support containers security. We will then continue with overview what every deployment pipeline should per...

Creating development setups can be tedious, error-prone and quite horrifying to novice contributors of Open Source projects. You would set up a virtual machine, install the required software and spend quite some time configuring it. On top of this, your setup would require maintenance and updates. A more modern approach is featured in this talk: Create a reproducible environment, have automat...
