It will also speak of the usual legal issues we have with VLC, notably on software patents and DRM breakage.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Legal issues http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/relicensing_vlc/ K.3.201 Jean-Baptiste Kempf PUBLISH 1123@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1123 wine_keynote wine_keynote Wine Keynote en en_US Wine Project 2013-02-03 09:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 10:00:00 +0100 01:00:00:00 20130203T090000 20130203T100000 01:00:00:00 Wine Keynote <p>The current state of Wine and the plans for the future.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Wine Project http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/wine_keynote/ K.3.601 Alexandre Julliard PUBLISH 1503@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1503 l20n l20n L20N en en_US Mozilla 2013-02-03 09:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 09:30:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20130203T090000 20130203T093000 00:30:00:00 L20N <p>Firefox OS has already altered many people's perceptions of what is possible through standard technologies like HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript. As Firefox OS is a perception-altering, market-changing project, we believe every element should be preception-altering, including the technology behind the way we localize it. L20n is paradigm-shattering, next generation localization technology which will only add to Firefox OS's ability to stand out as a truly innovative project. L20n allows localizers reach a higher level of free linguistic expression, unencumbered by an application's logic. Join us to see how l20n will change localization and how it adds to Firefox OS's mission to push the boundaries of what's possible in open source.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Mozilla http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/l20n/ U.218A Zbigniew Braniecki Staś Małolepszy PUBLISH 1273@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1273 postgresql_openbarter postgresql_openbarter openbarter, a possible solution for ecological regulation en en_US PostgreSQL 2013-02-03 09:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 09:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20130203T090000 20130203T095000 00:50:00:00 openbarter, a possible solution for ecological regulation PUBLIC CONFIRMED PostgreSQL http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/postgresql_openbarter/ AW1.121 Olivier Chaussavoine PUBLISH 1283@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1283 integrating_voice_through_adhearsion integrating_voice_through_adhearsion Integrating Voice through Adhearsion en en_US Telephony 2013-02-03 09:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 09:30:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20130203T090000 20130203T093000 00:30:00:00 Integrating Voice through Adhearsion <p>The presentation will start with a brief panoramic of Adhearsion 2 and how to connect an app to a voice platform, then moving on to real life use cases.

Many contributors to the templates repository find it to complicate to upload and publish a template on the site, because they had to create a project and then a release for every new template version. Only afterwards they could upload their template onto the site. It's currently not possible to translate the project pages (and sub pages) or e.g. the categories of the projects. Thus I started to work on a new add-on for a LibreOffice template center that has a more flat hierarchy and make it possible to translate the projects (and sub pages) as well as the categories of the projects into different languages.

This means providing forms that are in an open format and that can be used with FOSS tools. Providing forms and documents in proprietary formats makes it difficult for FOSS users to make use of the full potential of the services that are offered online.

We'll explore:</p> <ul> <li><p>Copyright assignment: Some high-profile GNU maintainers have recently criticized the FSF's copyright assignment policy and system. What are these criticisms, what does the FSF intend to do about them, and what's the point of its assignment process to begin with?</p></li> <li><p>GPL adoption: Last year here, in "Is copyleft being framed?", I put numbers supposedly showing declining GPL adoption in perspective, showing problems with the data, questioning the conclusions drawn from the data, and presenting different data leading to the opposite conclusions. We'll look at the questions that were raised since then about my data, and at some new data that's been made available, and draw new conclusions.</p></li> <li><p>App Stores: When Apple's App Store launched, the FSF concluded that its terms were incompatible with the GPL -- and with any kind of strong copyleft. Since then, we have several new App Stores; most notably from Google and Microsoft. Are the Apple terms still incompatible with the GPL? Are the other stores any better? Are these stores undermining GPL adoption, and should copyleft relax its standards in order to get free software to this audience, or should it stand its ground?</p></li> </ul> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Legal issues http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/state_of_the_gnunion/ K.3.201 John Sullivan PUBLISH 1016@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1016 scaling_php_with_hiphop scaling_php_with_hiphop Scaling PHP with HipHop en en_US Web development 2013-02-03 10:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 10:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20130203T100000 20130203T105000 00:50:00:00 Scaling PHP with HipHop <p>HipHop is the Open Source PHP language compiler and runtime designed and used by Facebook.

Interfacing them and building complex applications is still hard, mainly due to proprietary hardware and communications protocols. Open source and community based solutions are the key to overcome the aforementioned limitations. To prove that Open Source is the solution we decided to upgrade various devices to smart-objects using open protocols and the concepts and directives of Future Internet. We will present all the levels of the architecture of our system to fit our greater vision of an Open Source Home automation System.

I will present some tricks used by Hotspot to implement invokedynamic, why some of them can not be used by Dalvik and I will finish with some ideas of implementations on Dalvik.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Free Java http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/android_292/ K.4.401 Jérôme Pilliet PUBLISH 1467@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1467 storytelling_floss storytelling_floss Storytelling FLOSS en en_US Community Development and Marketing 2013-02-02 11:00:00 +0100 2013-02-02 11:25:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20130202T110000 20130202T112500 00:25:00:00 Storytelling FLOSS <p>Storytelling is a very effective communication tool, increasingly used in advertising today in order to build customer loyalty, and echoes the need of all humans to be entertained.

It's usually considered as a simple device mainly responisble for detecting the "position of the device in the space". The most common use case is orientation detection. However modern accelerometers can offer much more, things like gesture recognition and improved games experience.

Before licences were tested in court, enforcement was carried out in a quasi-legal way and “bargaining in the shadow of the law” was the norm. Later, some cases came to court across a number of jurisdictions and a variety of FLOSS licences have been upheld, albeit in lower courts. This does not really set any legal precedent but it has brought a little predictability to the area. The debate about the legality of these licences is still current, nonetheless and new licences are being drafted, despite a plethora already in existence. Seen in a socio-legal and historical context, such agreements emerge when the law does not provide for the type of arrangement envisaged but there comes a point at which the legislature needs to respond to provide legal certainty which a licence or contract may not. This talk explores two possible legal evolutions which would ensure the legality of FLOSS licences: either the enactment of an international or regional convention along the lines of the Free Software Act http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/ahrc/script-ed/issue4/FS-Act.asp or else an agreement between licensor and licensee along private international law principles (choice of law clauses) which can then be enshrined by the courts.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Legal issues http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/legally_cementing_licences/ K.3.201 Maureen O’Sullivan Ian Ó Maolchraoibhe PUBLISH 1466@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1466 python_rq python_rq Lessons learned from creating pleasurable libraries like RQ en en_US Python 2013-02-03 11:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 11:25:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20130203T110000 20130203T112500 00:25:00:00 Lessons learned from creating pleasurable libraries like RQ <p>Creating libraries is easy.

In a related note, open source applications (because distros are so "inclusive") are put through significant scrutiny around their design and deployment related to their integration with the core OS that may or may not make sense.

Moreover, advanced simulation techniques enable us to simulate the growth of a cell on the metabolic level. To grasp the topology of the metabolic network and to interpret the fluxes through its reactions a visualization of the simulation results is indispensable. However, traditional graph visualizations are unable to cope with the complexity of metabolic networks and often very cluttered graphs. In contrast, AMEBA reduces the number of nodes displayed while retaining as much information as possible by identifying branch points in the metabolic network. Although the algorithm does not rely on extrinsic information, it can be guided additionally by expert knowledge to produce camera-ready figures. Furthermore, the run-time of less than a second -- even for large metabolic networks -- enables an interactive usage. This way, a researcher can track the fate of compounds through the whole network and thus is able to get the big picture. The development of AMEBA was tremendously facilitated by the availability of FLOSS. In fact, the first prototype was created within a week and subsequently refined to a stable analysis tool, which is now available under the terms of the GPL (http://metano.tu-bs.de/ameba). The talk will cover the details of the algorithm and will highlight the steps at which FLOSS was crucial for the success of this piece of scientific software.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED FOSS for Scientists http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/ameba/ K.3.601 René Rex PUBLISH 1455@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1455 automating_openstack_testing automating_openstack_testing Automating OpenStack Testing on Ubuntu en en_US Testing and Automation 2013-02-02 11:50:00 +0100 2013-02-02 12:30:00 +0100 00:40:00:00 20130202T115000 20130202T123000 00:40:00:00 Automating OpenStack Testing on Ubuntu <p>This talk will cover the overall approach taken to automating packaging and testing of Openstack on Ubuntu, on hardware, per upstream commit for every core OpensStack project; tools/patterns covered will include:</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Testing and Automation http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/automating_openstack_testing/ H.1309 James Page PUBLISH 1594@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1594 two_factor_authentication_in_perl_with_google_authenticator two_factor_authentication_in_perl_with_google_authenticator Two Factor Authentication in Perl with Google Authenticator en en_US Perl 2013-02-02 11:50:00 +0100 2013-02-02 12:10:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20130202T115000 20130202T121000 00:20:00:00 Two Factor Authentication in Perl with Google Authenticator <p>This talk shows how to use your mobile phone as a security token.

However, conventional frameworks for distributed graph processing, such as Pregel, use programming models that are well-suited for scalability but inconvenient for programming graph algorithms. In this talk, we demonstrate how to use Green-Marl, a Domain-Specific Language for graph analysis, to describe graph algorithms intuitively and extend its compiler to generate equivalent Pregel programs. Using the semantic information exposed by Green-Marl, the compiler applies the same kinds of transformation rules that programmers apply when manually implementing graph algorithms with Pregel. Our experiments show that the Pregel programs generated by Green-Marl compiler perform similarly to native Pregel implementations of the same algorithms. The compiler is even able to generate a Pregel implementation of a complicated graph algorithm whose native Pregel implementation is very challenging.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Graph Processing http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/scalable_graph_processing/ AW1.121 Jan Van Der Lugt PUBLISH 1434@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1434 drmi915 drmi915 drm/i915 updates en en_US X.Org 2013-02-02 12:00:00 +0100 2013-02-02 13:00:00 +0100 01:00:00:00 20130202T120000 20130202T130000 01:00:00:00 drm/i915 updates <p>A potpourri of updates from the drm/i915 punchboy^Wmaintainer.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED X.Org http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/drmi915/ K.3.401 Daniel Vetter PUBLISH 1495@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1495 localization_toolchain localization_toolchain Recent changes in localization toolchain en en_US LibreOffice 2013-02-03 12:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 12:20:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20130203T120000 20130203T122000 00:20:00:00 Recent changes in localization toolchain <p>What happened on l10n front recently?

I will also explain how and why the project has adopted some of the standard methodology of public free software project development, including the use of a public git repository and a publicly-archived mailing list, a major change from earlier free software-related legal drafting efforts. The project is also noteworthy for its invention of the "Harvey Birdman Rule", which has two aims: to maximize transparency by discouraging undisclosed private negotiations over license drafting, and to limit the undue influence of interest groups far removed from the concerns of individual free software developers and users.</p> <ul> <li>https://gitorious.org/copyleft-next</li> <li>https://github.com/richardfontana/copyleft-next</li> <li>http://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/copyleft-next/</li> </ul> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Legal issues http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/copyleft_next/ K.3.201 Richard Fontana PUBLISH 1565@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1565 couchbase couchbase Getting Started with Couchbase en en_US NoSQL 2013-02-03 12:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 12:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20130203T120000 20130203T125000 00:50:00:00 Getting Started with Couchbase <p>In this session you will learn more about Couchbase Server capabilities and the benefits of a distributed JSON document database.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED NoSQL http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/couchbase/ K.4.601 Tugdual Grall PUBLISH 1279@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1279 european_derivative_work european_derivative_work What is a derivative work under European Copyright Law? en en_US Legal issues 2013-02-02 12:00:00 +0100 2013-02-02 12:45:00 +0100 00:45:00:00 20130202T120000 20130202T124500 00:45:00:00 What is a derivative work under European Copyright Law? <p>What is a derivative work under European Copyright Law?</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Legal issues http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/european_derivative_work/ K.3.201 Till Jaeger PUBLISH 1518@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1518 astonish_python_tricks astonish_python_tricks Astonishing python tricks en en_US Python 2013-02-03 12:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 12:25:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20130203T120000 20130203T122500 00:25:00:00 Astonishing python tricks <p>Most of us are writing python during our days or nights and we're still discovering new and impressive ways of using the language quite often.

Mass spectrometry is a rather recent field in biology (converse to other fields, like genetics, genomics). Therefore, awareness about Free Software is very low among mass spectrometrists. Only since the last few years are people starting to develop on Free Software systems (Ubuntu, for example). But the mentality still has to progress a bit, as for the moment people develop software and keeps that soft in their lab without thinking about packaging it for their platform.

We need to force them to open the formats or at least to force them to write proper full-featured converters to open standard formats. Free software must be a way to force vendors to behave properly.

The majority of the components that make up these images are licensed under copyleft terms. However, the default approach of many cloud service providers is to contractually limit the use of these official Linux images to execution within their propriety cloud service. To the extent they make available complete and corresponding source code for the purposes of examination or modification, the cloud service providers also restrict access and viewing of that source code to within the sandboxed cloud service.</p> <p>This session will examine the legal and business justifications for such practices. What good is complete and corresponding source (freedom 1) in a sandboxed environment if you are essentially denied use of it outside of a proprietary cloud service (freedoms 0, 2 and 3)? Are these restrictions enforceable?

Since it only supports one pipeline, the replication service is an all-or-nothing matter. Using Tungsten Replicator, instead, not only you can define topologies with multiple masters easily, but you can also set filters and conditions for each pipeline. With asynchronous replication, conflict resolution is hard to implement. But what you can do is conflict PREVENTION. If you want to define a system of records (each source is authorized to modify some of the data) in your multi-master topology, Tungsten offers you tools to achieve your goal easily.

"Big science" has evolved into "big data", which necessarily entails "big measurement". In science the problem is amplified by the experimental nature of measurements; the user often does not know a priori what region of parameter space is of interest. Instrumentation which offers immediate feedback may be ill-suited to repetitive, automated measurements.</p> <p>Mezurit 2 [2] is cross-platform Free Software (GPL) designed to make the setup and operation of experiments common in nanoscience and low-temperature physics quick and easy, while providing mechanisms for complex automation. In a typical scenario, the user begins by defining several virtual channels, each corresponding to a physical quantity present in the device under test, as functions of available input and outputs provided by DAQ boards and GPIB-connected external hardware. Then, the user can control several virtual instruments which provide mechanisms to view and record data, sweep outputs, and configure event triggers. After working out the optimal procedure, the user can then automate everything using the comprehensive Python-based scripting interface.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED FOSS for Scientists http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/mezurit2/ K.3.601 Brian Standley PUBLISH 1599@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1599 perl6__dude_wheres_my_flying_car perl6__dude_wheres_my_flying_car Perl 6: Dude, where's my flying car? en en_US Perl 2013-02-02 13:50:00 +0100 2013-02-02 14:10:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20130202T135000 20130202T141000 00:20:00:00 Perl 6: Dude, where's my flying car? <p>A whirlwind exposition of the Perl 6 language: its release status, some concrete syntactic examples, a historical overview, a real live demo, and current status and roadmap.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Perl http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/perl6__dude_wheres_my_flying_car/ AW1.126 Carl Mäsak PUBLISH 1474@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1474 project_management project_management Project Management in Distributed Open Source Communities en en_US Community Development and Marketing 2013-02-02 13:50:00 +0100 2013-02-02 14:15:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20130202T135000 20130202T141500 00:25:00:00 Project Management in Distributed Open Source Communities <p>A plethora of methodologies exist for managing the release process and life cycle of an open source project.

Security should be considered throughout the development process, but testing for security vulnerabilities (penetration testing) is a key part of secure software development. This is a particular challenge for open source projects as most developers have limited security experience and often don’t have the funds to pay for external expertise.</p> <p>This talk introduces the OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP), an integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications. It is completely free, open source and cross platform, as well as being a community orientated project that actively encourages participation. While ZAP is used by security professionals, it is also ideal for anyone new to web application security and includes features specifically aimed at developers. ZAP can be run interactively, but it also supports a REST API, making it ideal for including in a continuous integration environment.</p> <p>Simon will show how ZAP can be used to find vulnerabilities, both manually and as part of an automated build. He will also give an overview of some of the more advanced features, and explain how they can be used for more complex security testing.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Security http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/security_owasp/ Janson Simon Bennetts PUBLISH 1271@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1271 postgresql_as_a_schemaless_database postgresql_as_a_schemaless_database PostgreSQL as a Schemaless Database en en_US PostgreSQL 2013-02-03 14:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 14:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20130203T140000 20130203T145000 00:50:00:00 PostgreSQL as a Schemaless Database PUBLIC CONFIRMED PostgreSQL http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/postgresql_as_a_schemaless_database/ AW1.121 Christophe Pettus PUBLISH 1322@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1322 arduino_from_prototype_to_final_product arduino_from_prototype_to_final_product Arduino: from prototype to final product en en_US Lightning talks 2013-02-02 14:00:00 +0100 2013-02-02 14:15:00 +0100 00:15:00:00 20130202T140000 20130202T141500 00:15:00:00 Arduino: from prototype to final product <p>Arduino is a development platform useful not only for amateur/hobbyist projects, but also for prototyping commercial solutions.

The modular design intends to validate the main features of the product being developed, while the prototype has the goal of evaluating its performance. The two first steps allow us to validate the proposed product with reduced costs and reduceddevelopment time, as well as it helps reduce the need of making changes in the final product project in a later stage.

The change of scale from 32 to 64 bit implies a broadening of ARM's target market from (mostly) embedded devices to address the requirements of high end consumer devices and servers. The 64 bit mode (AArch64) programming model is significantly different from the existing 32 bit model. If ARM's change of direction does indeed grab a significant share of this market then there are two corresponding implications for the Free Java community. We need a high quality free Java implementation to ensure that the market is not colonised solely by commercial Java vendors. We need to provide this implementation from scratch rather than try to modify existing 32 bit Java implementations. Red Hat has decided to port OpenJDK to AArch64 precisely to meet these implications head on.</p> <p>This talk will describe the significant progress we have made in porting OpenJDK to AArch64 since the project began in earnest in July 2012, even though real hardware is not yet available and will not be for many months to come.</p> <p>During the talk we will:</p> <p> outline our plan for converting the runtime JIT components of OpenJDK to generate AArch64 code -- the (generated AArch64 code) template interpreter and the C1/C2 JIT compilers</p> <p> explain how we have already managed to execute and debug generated ARM code using our own ARMv8 functional simulator integrated into an x86 JVM</p> <p> display execution of a Java program using the template interpreter running on our simulator</p> <p> show both ARM instruction-level and Java bytecode-level stepping and debugging of generated code within gdb</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Free Java http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/porting_openjdk_to_aarch64/ K.4.401 Andrew Haley Andrew Dinn PUBLISH 1379@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1379 adopt_openjdk adopt_openjdk Adopt OpenJDK.

For instance, a study can try to assess the impact of smoking behavior with respect to getting lung cancer in a group of 40-year old construction workers who also have been exposed to asbestos. As retrospective case studies are historical in nature, researchers require accurate representations of patient records over time in order to correctly assess the importance of particular time-dependent patient characteristics.</p> <p>During this presentation, we will show how state-of-the-art Graph Databases can be extended with a set of temporal primitives that effectively aid researchers at gathering the required insights from a set of longitudinal medical records. Graph Databases are the ideal platform to model and store the multi-dimensional data points of the individual patient records and the cohorts to which they are belonging. By introducing a temporal notion within Graph Databases, physicians are given the power to query beyond time boundaries and get historical access to individual patient characteristics or combinations thereof. Patterns for individual patients can be compared and evaluated against the patterns for the cohort.</p> <p>In order to validate our proposed approach, we have implemented FluxGraph, a proof-of-concept Temporal Graph Database. Being Blueprints-compatible, it should be straightforward to integrate the proposed API changes within mature Graph Database products. The explicit notion of time, combined with the flexible modelling offered by Graph Databases, provides users with an expressive and powerful data store and analysis platform which is difficult or even impossible to implement with traditional relational database technologies.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Graph Processing http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/fluxgraph/ AW1.121 Davy Suvee PUBLISH 1151@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1151 odeint odeint odeint - Solving ODEs in C++ en en_US FOSS for Scientists 2013-02-02 14:10:00 +0100 2013-02-02 14:30:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20130202T141000 20130202T143000 00:20:00:00 odeint - Solving ODEs in C++ <p>Odeint is a modern C++ library for numerically solving Ordinary Differential Equations which got recently accepted to become part of the boost libraries.

To make such mods portable across CPUs and operating systems Quake 3 allows to compile regular C code to a Quake3 specific byte code. The byte code is then translated to native instructions by the game when loading the mod to achieve near native performance. This talk explains how the virtual machine works and how it's possible that Quake 3 supports both native shared objects as well as byte code VM's.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Open Source Game Development http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/games_quake3_vm/ AW1.125 Ludwig Nussel PUBLISH 1369@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1369 power_to_the_people power_to_the_people Power to the people - the OpenJDK PowerPC/AIX port en en_US Free Java 2013-02-02 14:50:00 +0100 2013-02-02 15:30:00 +0100 00:40:00:00 20130202T145000 20130202T153000 00:40:00:00 Power to the people - the OpenJDK PowerPC/AIX port <p>The PowerPC/AIX porting project currently driven by IBM and SAP is a good example how the OpenJDK fosters the cooperation of different players in the Java ecosystem in an open environment.</p> <p>The project was initially started in June 2012 with the goal to provide a full-featured and certifiable version of OpenJDK on the Linux and AIX PowerPC platforms.

During the year 2012, the project has proven its worth, surviving turbulent changes and releasing several Qt 4.8 patch releases and the 5.0 major release. It has managed to do that through the dedication of its community and through the structure established last year, which may be unfamiliar to many customers of Qt.</p> <p>This session will present the set up of the Qt Project, showing how a developer can approach the community with ideas and contributions.

This concluded an open competition that was remarkable both for its magnitude and the involvement of the cryptographic community. Public review is of paramount importance to increase the confidence in the new standard and to favor its quick adoption. The SHA-3 competition explicitly took this into account by giving open access to the candidate algorithms and everyone in the cryptographic community could try to break them, compare their performance, or simply give comments.</p> <p>In this talk the authors of Keccak will introduce and highlight the strengths of their cryptographic primitive and explain how it can benefit to the FOSS community.</p> <p>Although Keccak, as the SHA-3 standard, will coexist with the current standard SHA-2 hash function family, it is much more than just another "SHAxSUM" algorithm. Keccak relies at its core on a new construction, called the sponge construction, which allows for simpler and more flexible modes of use. The talk will illustrate this by giving various examples on how current software designs can benefit from this greater flexibility, e.g., for all the flavors of hashing, stream encryption, authentication, authenticated encryption and pseudo-random bit generation.</p> <p>This talk will also focus on the different aspects that make the design of Keccak open, from the open source implementations on various platforms to initiatives to keep encouraging third-party cryptanalysis, such as the KeccakTools cryptanalysis software and the Crunchy Crypto Collision and Pre-image Contest.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Security http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/security_keccak/ Janson Gilles Van Assche Joan Daemen Michaël Peeters PUBLISH 1585@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1585 xmpp_lightning xmpp_lightning Jabber/XMPP Lightning Talks en en_US Jabber 2013-02-02 15:00:00 +0100 2013-02-02 15:30:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20130202T150000 20130202T153000 00:30:00:00 Jabber/XMPP Lightning Talks <p>Lightning talks about any aspect of Jabber/XMPP technologies.

It is because the data structures use naive approach to the document - there is one array of 'nodes' (BigPtrArray), and additional data structures that take care of the changes. There are editors that use different data structure, so called "piece table", that has the advantage that it contains the change tracking information in the data structure itself, so it is trivial to traverse the changes. But, it is unusable for us because it would mean a complete Writer core rewrite. But - is there a possibility to upgrade/rewrite BigPtrArray so that it would contain the change tracking information in itself in a git-like fashion? ;-) That would allow us to do the changes incrementally - first upgrade the BigPtrArray without affecting the current functionality, and then do the rest.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED LibreOffice http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/libreoffice_writer_core/ H.2213 Jan Holesovsky PUBLISH 1430@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1430 cloudeebus cloudeebus Cloudeebus DBus proxies for Javascript en en_US Lightning talks 2013-02-02 15:40:00 +0100 2013-02-02 15:55:00 +0100 00:15:00:00 20130202T154000 20130202T155500 00:15:00:00 Cloudeebus- DBus proxies for Javascript <p>DBus proxies for Javascript</p> <p>Cloudeebus – dbus for the cloud - is a component which provides dbus proxies for Javascript.

Some believe that trademarks and the enforcement of trademark rights are inconsistent with FLOSS principles. But some amount of control over when and how a project name can be used is necessary for the name to remain meaningful as a an identifier of a specific software program with known attributes and qualities. That's the role of trademark law.</p> <p>Balancing how we would like to be able to use FLOSS trademarks with currently existing trademark law is challenging. Trademarks are fundamentally different from copyrights, so the licensing concepts that work for copyright don't work for the name. Complicating matters further, current trademark jurisprudence generally contemplates that trademark owners are formalized legal entities in hierarchical structure, so the law is ill-suited for a world of collective decisionmaking by non-employees in a dynamic organizational structure.</p> <p>But it still can come together in a way that serves the goals of free software and meets the requirements of trademark law. I will explore with the participants what the appropriate role of trademarks in FLOSS is and talk about ways that software projects can manage the use of their trademarks with some degree of freedom while still maintaining the validity of the trademark, with a view towards shaping the law so that it is better-suited for handling FLOSS concerns.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Legal issues http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/share_trademark/ K.3.201 Pamela Chestek PUBLISH 1237@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1237 slapos slapos SlapOS, an efficient all-in-one cloud With a case study of porting the collaborative Extranet Mioga. en en_US Cloud 2013-02-03 16:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 16:25:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20130203T160000 20130203T162500 00:25:00:00 SlapOS, an efficient all-in-one cloud- With a case study of porting the collaborative Extranet Mioga. <p>SlapOS aims for an efficient, decentralised, Free Software cloud with higher resilience and improved privacy. It is developed by a community including companies (Alixen, Bull, Dashing Soft, Nexedi, ViFiB, ZP Web Sites) and academia (Telecom ParisTech, University of Paris XIII)</p> <p>The SlapOS model is based on standard Unix process/user separation. SlapOS can thus implement a wider range of Cloud models: virtual machine models, IaaS models, containers, instances, bare-metal PaaS among others. Nodes can be distributed geographically among different data centers and companies, or even into people's homes (self hosting). Software can also be deployed on more than 42 public clouds, even to create a Cloud federation where each infrastructure can back up another one. Billing is built into SlapOS through ERP5, the open source ERP, which acts as a process orchestrator and gives full independence. Other building blocks are Buildout to manage applications and supervisord for the monitoring. Documentation, forum and code repositories are available at community.slapos.org.</p> <p>Mioga, the collaborative Extranet by Alixen, permits document sharing within inter- and intra-organisational workgroups through a fine-grained permission system. It complements an existing messaging system by providing groupware services: workgroup management, directory service integration, WebDAV or web-based document access, meta-data search, calendars, and many others. The source code (GPL) is available at www.alixen.org.</p> <p>We introduce the main SlapOS concepts through simple examples using the command line: adding a node and requesting deployment of simple services like a database or a virtual machine in different regions of the world; then transforming our own computers, phones or some EC2 virtual machine into a SlapOS server and requesting deployment of ten LAMP applications inside of it.</p> <p>We take Mioga as an example for how to port an existing, complex web application to the SlapOS cloud, be it for a SaaS offer or for internal usage (load-balancing and better use of spare servers). We can show code examples from all steps: from the Buildout "recipes" for components like PostgreSQL or Perl modules to the Slaprunner integration interface and recipes for both software and instance deployment. Administrative tasks such as supervision and backups can be fully automatised and integrated into the deployment recipes.</p> <p>The SlapOS community would like to spread awareness and encourage participation. We conclude with an outlook of further work on security and robustness, welcoming questions and input of all kind.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Cloud http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/slapos/ Chavanne Cedric de Saint-Martin Viktor Horvath PUBLISH 1526@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1526 go_concurrency_model_python go_concurrency_model_python Experimentation in porting the Go concurrency model to Python en en_US Python 2013-02-03 16:00:00 +0100 2013-02-03 16:25:00 +0100 00:25:00:00 20130203T160000 20130203T162500 00:25:00:00 Experimentation in porting the Go concurrency model to Python <p>Lot of people are trying to port the actor pattern to Python, but this pattern isn't really designed for such langages.

We describe their intended purpose as seen by the language designers. Next, we describe what programmers actually do with them by looking at recent empirical studies.</p> <p>Second, we present a new platform (Wiggle) developed at the University of Cambridge that intends to democratise studies of language features in Java. We describe the technical architecture of the platform, the research and design decisions behind it. The audience will learn about Java source code query languages, graph databases and interesting recent development in the Java compiler. In addition, we will demonstrate a prototype in live.</p> <p>Finally, we present a recent idea about classifying Java language features based on different dimensions such as typical applications and conceptual complexity. We describe how such a classification could be useful both for collaborative development, software comprehension and teaching.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Free Java http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/a_research_platform_for_java_and_other_ideas/ K.4.401 Raoul-Gabriel Urma PUBLISH 1304@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1304 high_performance_astronomy high_performance_astronomy High performance streaming data processing an application in astronomy en en_US FOSS for Scientists 2013-02-02 16:20:00 +0100 2013-02-02 16:40:00 +0100 00:20:00:00 20130202T162000 20130202T164000 00:20:00:00 High performance streaming data processing- an application in astronomy <p>Over the last few years, radio astronomy has undergone a revolution: complex analogue machinery such as dishes is increasingly being replaced by arrays of simple antennae combined with fast networking and high-performance computing.

However, turning the signals recorded by the telescope's antennae into astronomically relevant images is highly computationally intensive, and requires the development of a fast, flexible, scalable streaming data processing pipeline.

After introducing the capability concept and the basic communication mechanisms, more advanced topics such as IOMMU support and real-time scheduling will be discussed.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Microkernels and Component-based OS http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/nova_microkernel/ AW1.120 Udo Steinberg PUBLISH 1459@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1459 devops_with_jenkins devops_with_jenkins DevOps with Jenkins en en_US Testing and Automation 2013-02-02 16:50:00 +0100 2013-02-02 17:05:00 +0100 00:15:00:00 20130202T165000 20130202T170500 00:15:00:00 DevOps with Jenkins <p>This lightning talk will give an overview what DevOps is and which role Jenkins can play while implementing DevOps.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Testing and Automation http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/devops_with_jenkins/ H.1309 Michael Hüttermann PUBLISH 1219@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1219 mining_social_data mining_social_data Mining Social Data en en_US Graph Processing 2013-02-02 16:50:00 +0100 2013-02-02 17:20:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20130202T165000 20130202T172000 00:30:00:00 Mining Social Data <p>Hands-on section showing mining techniques for the social web (as a graph): Use them to visualize human interactions at a higher level, be it on public social networks (like facebook) or Enterprise private social networks (like yammer). while the examples will be social, the techniques exposed are usable in any graph datastore, the exact techniques I shall focus on will be: * Extraction * Finding frequent patterns * (Un)Supervised pattern learning * Constructing decision trees * Entity resolution Everything will be illustrated in code, All code will be open-source and pushed to github.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Graph Processing http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/mining_social_data/ AW1.121 Romeu Moura PUBLISH 1432@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1432 pystemon pystemon pystemon Pastebin alike monitoring en en_US Lightning talks 2013-02-02 17:00:00 +0100 2013-02-02 17:15:00 +0100 00:15:00:00 20130202T170000 20130202T171500 00:15:00:00 pystemon- Pastebin alike monitoring <p>Pastebin alike monitoring</p> <p>Pystemon is a multithreaded monitoring tool for PasteBin-alike sites written in Python.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Lightning talks http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/pystemon/ Ferrer Christophe Vandeplas PUBLISH 1207@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1207 eng_resilient_systems eng_resilient_systems Engineering Resilient Systems through Cross-Disciplinary Insight en en_US Configuration Systems Management 2013-02-02 17:00:00 +0100 2013-02-02 17:45:00 +0100 00:45:00:00 20130202T170000 20130202T174500 00:45:00:00 Engineering Resilient Systems through Cross-Disciplinary Insight <p>IT infrastructure, software projects and organizations are all systems that are required to be resilient, ie have the ability to absorb change, tolerate transients and maintain their self-organizing capacity in unexpected or even hostile circumstances.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Configuration Systems Management http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/eng_resilient_systems/ K.4.601 Volker Hilsheimer PUBLISH 994@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 994 security_identity_management security_identity_management How to build an Identity Management System on Linux Making Identity Administration Easy and Secure at the same time en en_US Security 2013-02-02 17:00:00 +0100 2013-02-02 17:50:00 +0100 00:50:00:00 20130202T170000 20130202T175000 00:50:00:00 How to build an Identity Management System on Linux- Making Identity Administration Easy and Secure at the same time <p>How do you build a comprehensive and coherent Identity Management System on Linux ?

In this talk we will explain how to set up a browser-based volunteer computing platform using NoSQL servers and what are the advantages of doing so (including a boost to your H number).</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED FOSS for Scientists http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/leverage_volunteer_computing/ K.3.601 Juan Julián Merelo PUBLISH 1394@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1394 cryptocat cryptocat Crypto.cat Secure messaging for everyone en en_US Lightning talks 2013-02-02 17:20:00 +0100 2013-02-02 17:35:00 +0100 00:15:00:00 20130202T172000 20130202T173500 00:15:00:00 Crypto.cat- Secure messaging for everyone <p>Secure messaging for everyone</p> <p>Cryptocat is free software that aims to provide an open, accessible Instant Messaging environment with a transparent layer of encryption that works right in your browser.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Lightning talks http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/cryptocat/ Ferrer Daniel Faucon PUBLISH 1220@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1220 sigmajs sigmajs Explore and visualize graphs with sigma.js en en_US Graph Processing 2013-02-02 17:25:00 +0100 2013-02-02 17:55:00 +0100 00:30:00:00 20130202T172500 20130202T175500 00:30:00:00 Explore and visualize graphs with sigma.js <p>sigma.js is a lightweight JavaScript library to visualize graphs.

Since such models are usually non-linear and impossible to solve analytically, their analysis is often carried out by simulation on high performance computing environments. Cluster, grid and cloud computing are nowadays adopted, but their use still requires specific technical and methodological skills. That is why high performance computing is not yet part of the daily practices in numerous communities where it would be needed. OpenMOLE (Open MOdeL Experiment: www.openmole.org) is a FOSS framework that implements a solution to this problem. It emphasizes on the easy integration of home-brewed models and on transparent scaling from a single computer up to a grid execution. It makes it possible for the modellers to build workflows for experimenting on their simulation model. OpenMOLE is based on a blackbox approach to embbed models based on very different technologies: java / scala / C / C++ / fortran / scilab / octave / netlogo... Once the user model is embedded in the platform, it can be executed according to various design of experiments, sensitivity analysis, calibration processes... OpenMOLE automatically distributes the numerous executions of the model on a distributed environment specified by the user, such as a cluster or even on the 100,000+ cores available on the European computing grid. The platform takes care of software installation, files transfert, job failures, rendering the distributed execution entierly transparent.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED FOSS for Scientists http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/openmole/ K.3.601 Romain Reuillon Mathieu Leclaire PUBLISH 1327@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1327 fipes fipes Fipes Beating the sneakernet en en_US Lightning talks 2013-02-02 17:40:00 +0100 2013-02-02 17:55:00 +0100 00:15:00:00 20130202T174000 20130202T175500 00:15:00:00 Fipes- Beating the sneakernet <p>Beating the sneakernet</p> <p>Fipes is a damn simple privacy friendly file sharing web application.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Lightning talks http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/fipes/ Ferrer Romain Gauthier PUBLISH 1461@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1461 building_testing_mobile_apps_jenkins building_testing_mobile_apps_jenkins Building, testing and deploying mobile apps with Jenkins & friends en en_US Testing and Automation 2013-02-02 17:40:00 +0100 2013-02-02 17:55:00 +0100 00:15:00:00 20130202T174000 20130202T175500 00:15:00:00 Building, testing and deploying mobile apps with Jenkins & friends <p>We'll take a quick look at how Jenkins and its plugins can integrate with various open source tools, helping to quickly find issues with Android and iOS apps, test across multiple OS versions and devices with minimal effort, and how to deploy beta versions to your testers and end users automagically.</p> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Testing and Automation http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/building_testing_mobile_apps_jenkins/ H.1309 Christopher Orr PUBLISH 1316@FOSDEM13@pentabarf.org 1316 apache_openoffice_uno apache_openoffice_uno Programming Apache OpenOffice: The Universal Network Object (UNO) Framework en en_US Apache OpenOffice 2013-02-02 17:45:00 +0100 2013-02-02 18:30:00 +0100 00:45:00:00 20130202T174500 20130202T183000 00:45:00:00 Programming Apache OpenOffice: The Universal Network Object (UNO) Framework <p>This talk gives a bird eye's view of the programming model of Apache OpenOffice (AOO) and LibreOffice (LO).

One response was AGPLv1, a modification of GPLv2 published by Affero, Inc. and drafted with Free Software Foundation (FSF)'s help. AGPLv1 and contemporary licenses addressing this policy issue saw limited adoption..</p> <p>Many expected, and some strongly advocated for, FSF to incorporate the Affero clause into GPLv3. Instead, in 2007 the FSF drafted a separate license, AGPLv3, containing an additional requirement that modified versions of a program offer access to corresponding source to all users interacting with AGPLv3'd programs through a network.</p> <p>AGPLv3 has seen little adoption by individual free software developers and community projects for various reasons. Yet notable exceptions exist, such as GNU MediaGoblin. Currently, AGPLv3's most common use is by businesses as a means of promoting purchases of proprietary software licenses, a practice often criticized by some framers of AGPLv3. Meanwhile, some corporate open source users have investigated the issue of AGPLv3 compliance. Awareness of AGPLv3 has steadily increased with the growing focus on “Cloud Computing”.</p> <p>This panel, comprised of a few of the world's foremost experts on AGPLv3, seeks to discuss and explain all issues surrounding AGPLv3 and contemplate the future of AGPLv3 as a viable copyleft license.</p> <p>Panelists:</p> <ul> <li>Moderator: <strong>Richard Fontana</strong>, IP Counsel at Red Hat. Richard is responsible for open source legal matters at Red Hat, and in his prior role at the Software Freedom Law Center he was co-drafter of GPLv3 and AGPLv3. He is an active public speaker on FLOSS legal and policy issues.</li> <li><strong>Eileen Evans</strong>, Vice President &amp; Associate General Counsel, Cloud &amp; Open Source, Hewlett-Packard Company. Eileen has spoken on complex open source issues at many open source conferences in the U.S. and in Europe and with governmental bodies, such as the European Commission and Members of the European Parliament.</li> <li><strong>Bradley M. Kuhn</strong>, Executive Director, Software Freedom Conservancy and Member of FSF's Board of Directors. Kuhn invented the original Affero clause, and helped draft AGPLv1 and AGPLv3. Kuhn is also widely known for his work in Free Software licensing compliance and Free Software non-profit management.</li> <li><strong>Christopher Allan Webber</strong>, Lead Developer, GNU MediaGoblin (free software image, audio, video publishing platform). Activist and developer for free software and network services freedom. Previously worked at Creative Commons as software engineer (and occasionally involved in licensing as well). Presently works fulltime on GNU MediaGoblin via money raised in a crowdfunding campaign in conjunction with the Free Software Foundation.</li> </ul> PUBLIC CONFIRMED Legal issues http:/fosdem.org/2013/schedule/2013/schedule/event/agpl_panel/ K.3.201 Bradley M.

On the other hand, when science is based on software foundations, the computational part of the research should be subject to validation by the scientific method. This implies that every program used in the elaboration of a research paper should, at least, be usable by referees, and if possible be publicly available is source form.
