A New Way to Create Enlightenment Themes.

Enlightenment Themes are very large and complex, this makes them immensely flexible but also means the amount of effort to create a new Theme is huge. To try and find some middle ground here I have been working on a new theme engine that is much less flexible but means you can create a new theme just by changing images and a couple of files. One of t...

Lets test and hack Wayland screen sharing on different apps (Zoom, Teams ...), different DEs (sway, GNOME, KDE),different installation methods (rpms, flatpak).

Come with your laptop with DE you have and lets test how it works for you.

The MVP for the session is to have wiki page where to document correct ways to do it, issues and maybe workarounds. If we can hack any solution for the iss...

Recently MicroOS can be installed with remote attestation, using the TPM as a root of trust and Keylime as a service to report and verify the status of our systems.

In this talk we will see what is a TPM, how Keylime can be installed in MicroOS and used to monitor the health of our system in production and what to do when we detect a compromised system.

presented by Marcus Meissner

This talk will introduce the SUSE Product Security team, who handles the software security processes for openSUSE and also SUSE Linux Enterprise.

The SUSE Product Security work is split into "reactive" and "proactive" areas and engineering groups these days.

Reactive work refering to what is traditionally known as "security incident response", while proactive refers to security audits...

There is a difference between the packaging Python packages for openSUSE and for other Linux distributions (the author has large experience with packaging for Fedora and some very old experience packaging for Debian). openSUSE has (primarily in /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d/macros.python_all) over 1600 lines of mainly Lua code worth of macros for simplifying the packaging process (compare with some 150...

At SUSE, and openSUSE we have short feedback loops to ensure compliance with a range of certifications, but our tools can have real world impact beyond the physical barriers, I will talk about how openQA can support operations in Healthcare, Manufacturing, Automotive, Edge, Transportation, and Elections.

presented by rainerkoenig

You're shopping for new hardware, but you're not sure if it will be supported by openSUSE?

This talk explains some basics on how hardware support works and what ways you have to find out if your hardware is supported or not. After 17 years of Linux hardware compatibility testing and hardware certification I can tell some good advice.

presented by Adam Majer

DNS is at the heart of the network. Without it, we are hopelessly lost. We can't even google for it. It allows us humans to map the network into the human domain and vice-versa. Yet we ignore it as unimportant part of network security fabric and allow individual unnamed corporation to control over 20% the internet lookups, because they are not evil.

This presentation should serve as a quick...

The development model for the classic release distribution of openSUSE - Leap - has changed several times. Currently it shares the binaries with SUSE SLE. This has advantages, but as well limitations. The talk explains how the development model has evolved and its current pitfalls. In the second part we will introduce the Adaptable Linux Platform (ALP) and discuss the current state of develop...

presented by Douglas DeMaio

Ask your questions about the new Adaptable Linux Platform. This will be a discussion format with the ALP steering committee. Get all the answers about the next generation product line in this open format discussion.

My experiences over the last 2-4 months learning to update packages in openSUSE. Starting around the middle of March 2022, I began learning to update packages with OBS. This lightening talk with highlight my experiences since then learning to package.

presented by Peter Simons

Linux system administrators often have conflicting interests. On one hand, we would like to have a stable system that runs without a hitch for years and years on end. On the other hand, we -- and our users -- sometimes need updates. We may want to run the latest version of Firefox, LaTeX, GCC, or whatever for any number of reasons. Maybe imported features were added? Or maybe the latest version...

presented by Dario Faggioli

It's no news or secret that containers are good at providing multiple and different testing environments, or at offering a way of deploying apps and services that are completely decoupled from the host OS. E.g., spin up a distro X container, check if code compiles there (and dispose of it).

How about the opposite? I.e., having one (or more!) stateful and persistent environment(s), tightly co...

On an example of PMM (Percona Monitoring and Management) opensource project I would like to show how to use podman instead of docker in software development process. We would go throw the basic (how to configure it) and discuss the changes required in build scripts, environment and etc. This will cover docker (run, build), docker-compose and briefly minikube to be replaced or use podman.

The Open Build Service has new support to allow developing packages directly in git repositories. This means that entire source management would be handed over to some pagure, gitlab or gerrit instance as origin of trust.

The talk will describe possible setups, workflows and development scenarios. Including an open discussion what should we aim for our main distributions.

During the last years, the openSUSE infrastructure was improved a lot. But is it perfect now? Of course not - otherwise the Heroes would be bored, and I could not give this talk. And of course, where people work, funny[tm] things happen - please bring your own popcorn ;-)

Tales in a life of a product security engineer making Open Source software more secure one bit at time. In this session, I will talk about what does it mean to be a product security engineer and how SUSE security team audits can help Open Source community in having a better security posture.

presented by Simon Lees

Pretty much everything that has ever been designed is some form of balance between form and function, from modified car's to architecture to clothes and even user interfaces. In the modern age of material design, Visual Design Group's and Human Interface Guidelines this balance has very much shifted to be in favor of function over form, an interface that looks good is still important but looks ...

Sourcery is a program that builds root file systems consisting mostly of Go source code: of the 90,000 files in a typical sourcery root, there are only 12 or so programs. Other programs are compiled on demand to a ramfs-backed file system. Compilation takes a fraction of a second for most programs, and never more than 2 seconds. Once the program is compiled to a statically-linked, tmpfs-...

cpu is a new (but old!) way to access systems over a network. It is new to the Linux world, and old to the Plan 9 world. The Linux version of cpu is written in both Go and Rust. cpu operates much as ssh does, with a really big difference: once you have cpu'ed to the remote machine, you can still see files from your local machine. This also means the remote machine only needs one program: a cpu ...

Business processes evolve continuously, customer expectations and requirements change even faster. Process management and workflow support systems have a tendency to grow organically into fearsomely complex monolithic beasts while piling up technical debt in the process.

Data migrations come at high cost, changing systems almost always require data to be converted into the new systems parti...

This talk will go over the history of the openSUSE Bar. How it started and what it has done.

simpledrm is a fbdev replacement implemented in the DRM kernel subsystem. It allows for smoother handover from the early boot phase to when a "real" DRM driver is loaded. In addition it allows for Wayland support on simple display adapters that do not have their own DRM driver. It has already been mainlined for a while but is not in active use by major linux distributions.

In this talk I w...

A traditional Linux file system tree in the root file system has quite a number of directories with special purpose, documented in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). An operating system installation by default populates most of those directories with different kinds of files, e.g. by means of a package manager. When looking closer this theoretical order is quite a mess in practice. Altern...

This talk focuses on effective communication with the openSUSE community.

Many workgroups have formed around the new Adaptable Linux Platform. However, not all of them are reporting the public yet.

ALP Community Work Group would like to encourage workgroup drivers to increase transparency by sharing our recommendations on how to...

It is very common for businesses with small teams to use cloud services to synchronise their work, stay in touch etc. All of these can also be achieved using open source software. However, making the different open source applications to authenticate through a single mechanism is somewhat challenging.

In this presentation, I will cover the use of LDAP to authenticate cloud services like Next...
