Its combination of an easy to use API coupled with high quality documentation has lowered the barrier to compiler development significantly.This has led to a strong adoption of LLVM in many different areas and as a result we can see a wide range of projects using LLVM today. Projects using LLVM cover a large spectrum of domains, ranging from classic C/C++ toolchains to code obfuscation engines and binary translators.The vast number of different projects based on LLVM and the fact that new projects are appearing constantly makes it increasingly hard to keep track of all of them.This talk attempts to summarize the current landscape of projects which are using LLVM in one way or another.The focus of this talk is on projects using LLVM rather than the LLVM compiler infrastructure itself.

Your infrastructure description differs from your monitoring configuration ? Having trouble communicating between ops and monitoring ? Use Salt configuration management to change that.
Once you start using configuration management systems like Salt and describe your infrastructure as code, you can then re-use that description to generate monitoring configuration for various existing monitoring solutions (nagios, shinken, etc.).
You can also use Salt to orchestrate the checks and use other data silos to explore your supervision.

We are part of the movement by creating our own engine and a framework for the development of new algorithms.
Tempus focuses on planning trips that involve all possible transport modalities, mixing private and public modes as well as shared vehicles, and on requests with multiple objectives.
It relies on well-known open source components and standards like PostGIS, QGIS, WPS, boost graph and offers tools for importing routing data from various sources, including OpenStreetMap.
This presentation will illustrate the overall modular architecture of Tempus built around a C++ core and will detail recent additions to the engine, like the integration of Contraction Hierarchies, thanks to industial parternships.

However, mailing lists can struggle to compete with code collaboration tools like Gerrit and Rietveld, many of which offer features such as integration with automated testing tools and patch tracking. How can such features be integrated into existing, mailing list-based projects like the Linux kernel or DPDK? The presenter reports on the ongoing work around the widely-deployed 'patchwork' tool to do just this.

If you wanted to reach users with your project, the best path to do so was to have your software packaged for the "major" Linux distributions of the time. Today, the world looks a lot different with language-specific package managers, microservices and containers, and so on. What's the role of Linux distributions in today's open source world, and where do we go from here?

We also know that PHP is born single threaded, and therefore it’s not the best available tool for heavy processing or intensive batch jobs. In this talk we’ll see how to get through these shortcomings, achieving parallel processing through native solutions such as Process control functions and POSIX functions, but also exploiting more recent techniques such as message queues and nonblocking I/O. We’ll cover a wide range of examples from real world applications, and dealing with tools such as Gearman, RabbitMQ, ReactPHP and Icicle.

DESCRIPTION:Routing: A view from my local topography on routing technology and Free Software.
Routing is a seemingly simple field, but with many details as you dive in. This talk intends to give an overview of some of the core methods used in routing, and their uses (which can extend beyond routing), benefits and trade-offs. It intends to tie this in with an overview of Quagga, a Free Software routing software suite, and explain how Quagga can be used to build solutions to routing and other networking problems.

Furthermore, such "activity" would pretty much all the time be an application (or system) program. Well, guess what: these days, things are more complicated! Applications and physical processors have moved away from each other, as one or more layers have been put in between them. In fact, in a typical virtualization/cloud scenario, we have a hypervisor, providing the abstraction of virtual processors, and it is onto them that applications run. And here we are: running an application inside a virtual machine requires a virtual processor to be scheduled on a physical processor --at the host level-- and the application itself to be scheduler on the virtual processor --at the guest level. So, two schedulers (at least!).
But how do these two schedulers interact right now? How should they interact ideally? Should they be closely related, completely independent, or something in the middle? Are they better be based on the same algorithm? Or do different layers have different enough needs to require highly specific solutions?
This talk will go through the above (and more) questions, trying to outline pros and cons of a few approaches. That will happen both in a "theoretical" and practical sense. The latter meaning that we will be looking at some real scheduling traces (at both host and guest level), and at numbers from different benchmarks. The main focus, especially of the 'case study' part, will be on the Xen's scheduler(s) (i.e., on the interactions between Xen's and Linux's schedulers) but we will have a look at a few KVM data points as well.
One Scheduler to rule them all. One Scheduler to find them, One Scheduler to bring them all and...

The future of MIPS is a new family divided into several generations evolving.During the presentation, after a brief and simplified introduction to architecture, will be shown the technologies available at the time and what will be the future developments.In the presentation will also show some reference platforms (ex. Imagination Creator CI20), and how to work to integrate and port on these platforms.Application examples with yocto and buildroot, to switch to a full distribution (Debian). Finally it will also present a perspective on the use of MIPS in embedded designs.

It has always been hard to find qualified MySQL Developers and Database Administrators and there is still a great shortage. The NoSQL world has bright shinny 'toys' and MySQL is now in a 'young adult stage'. With containerization and verbalization there is more demand for the MySQL skills but that does not seem to be growing the community at the same pace. So how do we promote our community to attract more people, how do we promote the knowledge of MySQL skills to hiring managers, is there a way to mentor new people as does the PHP Community, and how do we provide support for each other. Please come to provide your ideas so we can get more of us.

Processing dynamic graphs is a challenging task that requires sophisticated state management, snapshotting mechanisms, and incremental graph algorithms. Luckily, several graph computations, like graph statistics, aggregates, and graph sketches, as well as more complex algorithms like connected components and bipartiteness detection, can be computed in a single-pass fashion. Single-pass algorithms process each edge once and do not need to store or access the complete graph state.

DESCRIPTION:Digital hardware design, or “HDL programming,” is growing in popularity with the widespread availability of FPGA platforms. Yet, the ecosystem around it needs some work. Tooling, the availability of code, licensing and a scattered community make it hard to get started. In this talk, we'll look at the situation today, and where things are going. As newcomer you'll leave the talk with all you need to know to start an FPGA design. And as experienced developer you will get an update on what's going on around you. Because digital hardware design doesn't need to be hard.

Making an application scale is generally seen as something that only the most magical of developers can do, but it's easy once you have the correct tools. Fortunately for us, these tools are freely available online!
In this talk, we'll take a look at a few options that we have available to work out what our application is actually doing, help identify bottlenecks and fix them so that we can move on to the more important part of the project: delivering features.

However, obtaining the complete, corresponding source code (CCS), which Linux's license (GPL) requires, can prove difficult. The license dictates technical requirements;verification of a source code release for license compliance therefore requires technical analysis. After 15 years of reviewing such CCS relases, the speaker discovered (finally!) an excellent example,which not only meets GPL's requirements, but also encourages users to take advantage of their rights to modify and install new versions of the software. This talk explains the aspects of the source release that made it particularly outstanding, and proposes methods to achieve similar compliance successes. Attendees will learn procedures to increase the "tinkerer" userbase,and receive valuable insight into the compliance engineering analysis that occurs during GPL enforcement work.

PXF provides a unified extensible framework for accessing any distributed system data source. Existing plugins include loading and querying of data stored in HDFS, HBase and Hive. It supports a wide range of data formats such as Text, Avro, Sequence, Hive RCFile, ORC, Parquet and Avro formats and HBase. The pluggable framework makes it very convenient for adding new custom plugins. It also supports advanced statistics and filter pushdown.PXF is an open source project and is currently being used by Apache HAWQ’s external table via PXF’s exposed REST API and is in the process of being integrated with other SQL engines.
With the integration of PXF into Postgres FDW, we can achieve a single unified pluggable framework to read and write any distributed system data source. PXF also abstracts Postgres from any remote client dependencies and provides a clean installation mechanism.

While developing our GPL distributed storage solution we researchedthe state of the art of consensus algorithms to achieve fault-tolerance.Our first stop was Paxos, which turned out to be complex and lacking accurate and comprehensivespecifications. Without a reference implementation, confusion reigns supreme, andanalyzing all the different variants would have taken us at least 3 months.By contrast Raft defines a single clean way to implement reliable leaderelection. It controls responsiveness with autonomously made decisions ofparticipation in the cluster, while providing data availability.
In this lightning talk I will recount the road bumps we hit while implementingthe consensus algorithm and the headaches we had before we ditched Paxos.With this head start on Raft, I hope to save my fellow developers from the painwe went through!

It is somewhat configurable, with a minimum of 4 16-bit general registers, at least one word-addressed code space of up to 16Mword and at least one byte addressed data space of up to 64kbyte.
The primary role of AAP is as a test bench for compiler backends. It encapsulates features found in a wide range of popular embedded processors which traditionally cause difficulties for compiler writers. By contributing it to the official LLVM distribution we hope to provide a solution to these problems for many such compilers..
A Clang/LLVM implementation for AAP has been submitted as a patch to the mainline development (patches D12191 and D12192). In this talk we will discuss our experience implementing and testing LLVM for this architecture, the architectural features unique to our processor and how these interact with LLVM. In AAP integers are less than 32-bits, pointers may be word addressed, not unique, and too large to fit in a registers (of which there may be very few).

Qucs is an integrated circuit simulator. The graphical user interface (GUI) is used for schematic capture and visualization of simulation results. It can simulate the large-signal, small-signal and noise behavior of the circuit. The software aims to support all kinds of circuit simulation types such as DC, AC, transient, S-parameter, noise analysis, harmonic balance analysis. Digital simulation and circuit optimization are integrated into the GUI and powered by other open-source tools (Icarus-Verilog, freeHDL, ASCO). Besides the library of components it also includes tools for the design of active and passive filters, transmission lines, attenuators and matching circuits. Interfaces for Matlab/Octave and Python are also available.
The talk will provide an overview of the features and available tools along with a selection of examples. It will present the latest developments including: ongoing migration towards the latest Qt framework; new features related to the “turn-key” Verilog-A (ADMS) model compiler as well as support for other simulation engines (Ngspice, Xyce).

They didn’t. And for the sake of your mobile users, you both need to be friends. Enter Frida, the diplomat (she’s really only a library, but don’t tell anyone). She has coaxing superpowers that allow you to expose the innards of binary-only software, be it other libraries, operating systems, or other OS processes you must deal with. You can program Frida to infiltrate closed-source software, and expose their internals into abstractions you can use for testing the interoperability of your software. Want to lift some of their logic into your mock? Or replace a few functions in their binary code with your mocks? Hopefully, you want to do that using high-level languages such as JavaScript and/or Python, because those are the ones Frida likes the most.

This is how next-generation journey planners are being built: open standards, open data, open APIs, open source code. Authorities in places such as Portland, New York State, Netherlands, Finland, Iceland and Oslo are already working this way in collaboration with citizens and businesses. Latest result of this model to replace proprietary solutions is Digitransit, a mobile-first HTML5 passenger information app by the main transport authorities in Finland (Helsinki Regional Transport Authority HSL and Finnish Transport Agency FTA).
This is an example how more civic tech should be built, which leads to more open source from the government. Transport has proven an easy and interesting field for citizen participation, as everyone has an itch to scratch, and it's visual with maps and realtime data. If the transport data is open in your city, you can set this up. If your city hasn't opened data yet, here's one reason why they should.

A key part of any implementation of an embedded toolchain is a simulator of the architecture, both such that user written code can be run and so the compiler's implementation itself can be verified. As part of AAP, we have implemented a simulator based on LLVM MC that both runs standalone and as part of a gdb/lldbserver.
In this talk I will discuss the design and my experiences of using LLVM as the host for a simulator.

Embedded applications typically request special privileges such as playing sound, sending SMS or geolocating. Those running on vehicles, while having the same requirements, need to be more strictly constrained to prevent dramatic consequences on equipment, driver and passengers.
The most common motivation to ignore security is cost reduction and time-to-market. Developing secure HTML5 applications should be smooth and simple. This talk presents a model of architecture leveraging modern tools such as Gulp, Angular and Foundation6 to simplify the production of applications for the automotive industry, while respecting strong security constraints.

Admins often develop their own scripts trying to implement fast execution, not always successfully.ClusterShell proposes to address these problems by offering a new set of command-line tools and a Python framework, both relying on the same optimized code and features. It took the best of famous commands, like pdsh, and improved it. The library can be used to ease admin script development and remove the burden of implementing optimized parallelism.ClusterShell supports multiple execution backends like SSH or RSH variants. Tools from other projects already rely on ClusterShell for their efficient command execution like MilkCheck or Shine. Moreover, ClusterShell offers a powerful way to manage range of nodes which could be used in any tools using its Python API.

Unfortunately, the effect of legal policy decisions by a primary copyright holder can have unanticipated negative effects on this constituency.
Some legal decisions which have an effect on the contributor community are:* License choice* Contributor licensing agreements* Determining origin of contributions and "clearing" them* Trademark usage policy
Dave Neary is a community manager with a long history of participating in and organising open source community projects, and he will walk you through some of the ways in which decisions in these areas have actively harmed project growth in the past, and may suggest some alternatives which accomplish similar goals without the same side-effects.

HTTP messages are the foundation of web development. Web browsers and HTTP clients such as cURL create HTTP request messages that are sent to a web server, which provides an HTTP response message. Server-side code receives an HTTP request message, and returns an HTTP response message.
This talk will explain the interfaces defined by PSR-7, how they define the future of interoperability between frameworks and tools. After that there will be a showcase of several implementations and tools such as zend's diactoros package, Guzzle v6, php-http, RelayPHP and other packages that show the real power of shared interfaces for HTTP objects. A clear path to how we can start using these typed objects in our applications today will be shown.

Static System on Chip (SoC) configurations commonly found in today's embedded systems can be easily describedby devicetree files. These files provide the kernel with the necessary information about hardware devices, their connections, clocks, resets and other properties that could be either runtime probed, or would be provided by the BIOS on normal PC systems.
FPGAs have been present in embedded systems for a long time. Their reconfigurabilityallows for in-the-field upgrades to large parts of a system's functionality.For this kind of reconfigurability it is sufficient to reload the FPGA image once at boot,and to present the peripherals in the programmable logic parts to the Linux Kernel in the same way as any other hardware.
With FPGA based SoCs such as Altera's SocFPGA and Xilinx Zynq this model of reconfigurationposes its challenges, as runtime reconfiguration (and even partial reconfiguration)may cause parts of the fabric-based logic to temporarily (or permanently!) disappear.In that case presenting the FPGA based logic to the kernel might lead to issues as thecorresponding device drivers don't get unloaded properly when the corresponding logic goes away.
Vendor trees (that contain modifications to the Linux Kernel, that have not been upstreamed) provide userland applications with a capability to reload the FPGA image. In this case a hybrid system with in kernel drivers and userland applications is quickly forced into using ugly hacks to make it all work together.
FPGA manager is a vendor-neutral framework currently under development (will be in 4.4), that allows reloading FPGA images in a safe, clean and intuitive manner, while nicely integrating with the Linux Kernel's driver model.
To model the dependencies of FPGA based IP in processor based SoC's the SimpleFPGA bus was developed. It allows to specify dependency topologies to reconfigure SoC busses at runtime, while dealing with issues such as runtime clock control, resets, as well as loading the correct (partial) bitstreams through FPGA Manager.
Originally developed to support the BeagleBone Black's capes that require runtime pinctrl, devicetree overlays can be used to change the Linux Kernel's representation of the devicetree at runtime. Recently merged into upstream devicetree overlays provide a very natural and clean way to describe modifications to the devicetree, while keeping the whole system in a coherent state.
This talk will give a brief intro to devicetree, the problems related to runtime reconfiguration and then describe the SimpleFPGA bus and FPGA Manager frameworks. Some simple examples using devicetree overlays will be given that will demonstrate why the three elements make for such a compelling combination.

Thus the system behaves as areplicated state machine.To have all this working together, there is an underlying work of awell-known paradigm in distributed computing: Group Communication andDistributed Consensus - that is becoming quite hot in the softwareindustry nowadays, along with with top-notch software architecture.
Come and learn what it is, where to get it and how to use it. Get toknow how to install, configure and deploy it in your existinginfrastructure.

Getting this data into a format that can be easily used for analysis may seem intimidating at first, but there are some very useful open source tools that make this task relatively easy. The primary tools used in this talk are the open source Metrics Grimoire tools that take data from various community sources and store it in a database where it can be easily queried and analyzed.

HPC system users often have no guarantee that they will be able to reproduce results at a later point in time, even on the same system—software may have been upgraded, removed, or recompiled under their feet, and they have little hope of being able to reproduce the same software environment elsewhere. We present GNU Guix and the functional package management paradigm and show how it can improve reproducibility and sharing among researchers with representative use cases.

HVM is anewer kind of guest, which exploits hardware virtualization extensions,and offers an emulated PC-like environment. Linux typically runs on Xenas a PV guest but can also run as an HVM guest very efficiently. Windowsruns as an HVM guest only.

I want to talk about the relationship between virtualization and containers, and some of the efforts to manage virtualization / IaaS technologies with containers to make them easier to deploy and manage. This includes efforts to containerize things like oVirt and OpenStack, as well as the best way to run KVM virtual machines in privileged containers.

Scylla applies systems programming techniques to a horizontally scalable NoSQL design to achieve extreme performance improvements. As CPU core counts continue to grow, along with the raw speed of networking and storage devices available on a modern system, software design approaches that were valid and safe even a few years ago are no longer sustainable.
Scylla enables high throughput, low latency, and rapid completion of housekeeping operations such as compaction. Scylla eliminates known performance bottlenecks of existing NoSQL servers by running multiple engines, one per core, each with its own memory, CPU and multi-queue NIC. Scylla bypasses key performance bottlenecks that can affect NoSQL server performance using per-core memory allocation to avoid locking, and asynchronous I/O for storage to bypass the system page cache. With Scylla, NoSQL projects can avoid performance uncertainties up front in order to deploy a system that performs and scales with a low risk of unpredictable performance issues later.

DESCRIPTION:When is distribution not distribution?
‘Distribution’ triggers copyleft obligations, and accurate interpretation of copyleft licences is dependent on an accurate determination of 'distribution'. In the course of other research, we developed a model containing a spectrum of software use-cases illustrating what activities may result in distribution, as defined in law, and which therefore trigger the copyleft conditions in FOSS licences. This talk explains the model, and the use-cases, and explores, from a European Copyright Law perspective, when software can be considered to have been distributed, and what the consequences are for copyleft in each case, with reference to the GPL, AGPL and other FOSS licences.

He decided that the paper book was no place for the numerous footnotes, documentation or glossary, insteadgiving access to all this information surrounding the book through a web application which would present itself as a reading companion.He also offered to the community of readers to submit their contributions to his inquiry by writing new documents to be added to the platform.The first version of our web application was built on PHP Yiii and MySQL on the server side. This soon proved to be a nightmare to maintain because of the ultra-relational nature of our data.We refactored it completely to use node.js and Neo4J. We went from a tree system with internal links modelized inside a relational database to a graph of paragraphs included into documents, subchapters etc. all sharing links between them.On the way, we've learned Neo4J thoroughly, from graph data modeling to cypher tricks and developped our custom cypher query graphical monitor using sigma.js in order to check our data trans-modeling consistency.
During this journey, we've stumbled upon data model questions : ordered links, sub items grouping necessity, data output constraints from Neo4J, and finally the limitations of Neo4J community edition.Finally we feel much more confortable as developers in our new system. Reasoning about our data has become much easier and, moreover, our users are also happier since the platform's performance has never been better.
Our intention is, therefore, to share our experience with the community:
- our application's data needs- our shift from a MySQL data model to a Neo4J graph model- our feedbacks in using a graph database and more precisely Neo4J including our custom admin tool [Agent Smith](https://github.com/Yomguithereal/agent-smith)- a very quick description of the admin tools we built to let the researchers write or modify contents (a markdown web editor)The research has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) / erc Grant ‘IDEAS’ 2010 n° 269567”

We propose and demonstrate an easy framework based on lessons learned from programming for IoT scenarios which shows potential for programming multiple processors as well.

DESCRIPTION:About 5 years ago it hit me that Corporations are never going to take responsibility for Software Libre compliance. Full Software Libre compliance actually affects their bottom line, and it's the responsibility of Directors to pathologically maximise profits. In fact, selling eco-conscious products that can be upgraded year-on-year, throwing away perfectly good components in the process, also adversely affects a Corporation's bottom line.
Competing with existing profit-maximising Corporations on "Software Libre Compliance" is not a strong selling point: nobody who isn't a programmer actually really cares, and they're not knowledgeable enough to upgrade the software anyway - they'd rather just throw the whole thing away and get a new one, in the naive hope that the new OS will somehow be better, cleaner, and free from the malware attacks that slowed down the perfectly good hardware they just discarded into landfill.
People are mainly influenced by money (saving it), cool-factor, convenience and fear. So the trick is to come up with a strategy that plays on all these four things. The EOMA68 Project thus was envisioned as a way to help people save money (because they can upgrade just like popping out a "Memory Card", they can now push a button and pop out the "Computer Card"), as well as help reassure them on personal security. Sending the laptop back for repair, you don't want the people in the shop to copy or rifle through your private data? No problem: pop out the "Computer Card" before sending it off... and incidentally you can pop that Computer Card into a spare base unit and carry on working.
Almost as an incidental side-line, then, the products being developed are Software Libre Compliant right from the ground up (not that the end-users really need to know that, as it's not a major selling-point to them). Some of the products being developed can even be RYF Certified (are FSF-Endorseable) - again, the average end-user doesn't care about this. However, Software Libre developers will know what's under the hood, and are being invited to participate in bringing these products to market. The first main products will be two EOMA68-compliant CPU Cards (one with an FSF-Endorseable Ingenic jz4775, the other with an Allwinner A20 dual-core ARM Cortex A7), a Micro-Desktop "base" and a 15.6in 1366x768 Laptop. The laptop's case is 3D-printable on a standard 200x200mm Mendel90, and uses bamboo laminate for the main panels, to save on plastic.
In short: where standard Hardware Corporations are set on maximising profits year after year, collectively they've left a gaping hole in the market that, with a little creative thinking, can be filled by someone who is willing to take active responsibility for doing things in a conscientious and principled way. The resultant products - which have an expected upgrade lifecycle of at least a decade - just happen to be really cool.

Another important aspect is security policy that is easy to configure. To meet these requirements, we combined usage of widely known DAC and one of the most simple Linux Security Modules - Smack. The talk will also cover set of tools used to control access to abstract resources (Cynara) and tools used to configure all needed policy mechanisms (Security-Manager). Finally, a new module for controlling multi-container virtual environments will be presented (Vasum), that is also part of the Tizen 3.0 security framework. Described security model is open source with repositories publicly available both on tizen.org and github. It is successfully implemented and used on Tizen 3.0 platform with increasing interest from other Linux distributions.

Debugging programs can be extremely difficult. Start mixing in massive parallelism and the task quickly devolves into a frustrating exercise that challenges your patience and sanity. During the course of this talk I will show how Delve can take the pain out of debugging Go programs. Concretely, I will explain the problems Delve solves, and present the features unique to Delve.

Modular architecture of the library keeps the core tiny and efficient, and provides a state-machine like API for extensions. There are three built-in modules - iterator, cache, validator, and many external.
The Lua modules, switchable and shareable cache, and fast FFI bindings makes it great to tap into resolution process, or be used for your recursive DNS service. It's the OpenResty of DNS.
The server adopts a different scaling strategy than the rest of the DNS recursors - no threading, shared-nothing architecture (except MVCC cache that may be shared). You can start and stop additional nodes depending on the contention without downtime.

This is exactly the goal of the OMR project: an open source project with reusable runtime technologies originating from the IBM J9 JVM representing hundreds of developer years of investment.
This talk describes a set of experiments conducted by IBM to test the use of several OMR technologies within the Ruby MRI runtime: GC, JIT, method profiling, and more. All this while still running real Ruby applications, including Rails. The talk will include the results from our experiments and ideas about the future of Ruby and OMR.

We can edit typographic quality documents in a browser using arbitrary page layout with page styles, headers and footers, footnotes, linked frames, custom fonts, also with font features, like true small capitals and ligatures.
These WYSIWYG document editing and form filling capabilities aren't limited by incomplete web standards and clients, and they are based on the OpenDocument format and its embedded XML based form standard, XForms.
We have made minor, but important LibreOffice improvements, too, like changing the default, unprofessional ASCII apostrophe to the long-awaited typographic one (U+2019) in online and desktop versions of LibreOffice.
To solve the problem of the simplified toolbars of the online version, we allowed to use nearly all keyboard shortcuts of LibreOffice in the online version, also adding new ones for compatibility and better usage, for example the shortcut Ctrl-Alt-F for footnote insertion.
The presentation will show several online document editing examples, focusing on the typographic quality and easy layout management (like online usage of the OpenDocument character, paragraph, list, page and other styles, the strengths of Writer word processor), and the related developments.

Gamedev learning tools like Construct and Stencyl have made game development ubiquituous. But even if creating a simple game is no longer a challenge. These days there are so many options fo create your own games, even your own game engine. Then comes a big problem. Unplanned obsolescence. Every game engine dies. Every game engine that has its own crazy, crappy script variant, has its own API, its own tremors. And when it dies you might usually lose your rendering code, your shader infrastructure, your gameplay routines or your business logic.
Haxe tries to solve all these problems. It is not an engine, nor a framework. It is a language and a toolkit. Haxe compiles your code to every major languages used for game developments. Haxe pre-optimizes your code so that you focus on your game. Haxe does native compilation and allow you to bypass VM's. With its advanced type system and aggresive inlining, it can even allow jitted code to go faster than hand written code.
Whether you use Unity3D, Flash, Unreal, Haxe can bring you goodness and agility.
So let's talk about OSS and Haxe a bit!

The theory under US law is equitable estoppel, legal estoppel, or both. A license implied by equitable estoppel is one based on conduct, and a license implied by legal estoppel is based on the principle that one may not license a right, in the case of FOSS licenses the copyright, and then derogate from the right granted by asserting a different right.
The session will briefly cover the concepts of equitable estoppel and legal estoppel and argue that, while both trademarks and patents may be impliedly licensed by equitable estoppel, and patents are always licensed under a theory of legal estoppel, trademarks (qua trademark, not the pure letter string) will never be impliedly licensed under the doctrine of legal estoppel because enforcing trademark rights does not derogate from the copyright grant, i.e., the right to run, study, adapt, redistribute and improve the program.

Full Software Libre compliance actually affects their bottom line, and it's the responsibility of Directors to pathologically maximise profits. In fact, selling eco-conscious products that can be upgraded year-on-year, throwing away perfectly good components in the process, also adversely affects a Corporation's bottom line.
Competing with existing profit-maximising Corporations on "Software Libre Compliance" is not a strong selling point: nobody who isn't a programmer actually really cares, and they're not knowledgeable enough to upgrade the software anyway - they'd rather just throw the whole thing away and get a new one, in the naive hope that the new OS will somehow be better, cleaner, and free from the malware attacks that slowed down the perfectly good hardware they just discarded into landfill.
People are mainly influenced by money (saving it), cool-factor, convenience and fear. So the trick is to come up with a strategy that plays on all these four things. The EOMA68 Project thus was envisioned as a way to help people save money (because they can upgrade just like popping out a "Memory Card", they can now push a button and pop out the "Computer Card"), as well as help reassure them on personal security. Sending the laptop back for repair, you don't want the people in the shop to copy or rifle through your private data? No problem: pop out the "Computer Card" before sending it off... and incidentally you can pop that Computer Card into a spare base unit and carry on working.
Almost as an incidental side-line, then, the products being developed are Software Libre Compliant right from the ground up (not that the end-users really need to know that, as it's not a major selling-point to them). Some of the products being developed can even be RYF Certified (are FSF-Endorseable) - again, the average end-user doesn't care about this. However, Software Libre developers will know what's under the hood, and are being invited to participate in bringing these products to market. The first main products will be two EOMA68-compliant CPU Cards (one with an FSF-Endorseable Ingenic jz4775, the other with an Allwinner A20 dual-core ARM Cortex A7), a Micro-Desktop "base" and a 15.6in 1366x768 Laptop. The laptop's case is 3D-printable on a standard 200x200mm Mendel90, and uses bamboo laminate for the main panels, to save on plastic.
In short: where standard Hardware Corporations are set on maximising profits year after year, collectively they've left a gaping hole in the market that, with a little creative thinking, can be filled by someone who is willing to take active responsibility for doing things in a conscientious and principled way. The resultant products - which have an expected upgrade lifecycle of at least a decade - just happen to be really cool.

Starting from the R language, we have built a higher level intermediate representation on top of the LLVM-IR, to benefit from a well defined target for the front-end generation and to reuse the LLVM optimization passes framework over that IR. The compiler generates LLVM-IR proper, integrated with a dataflow oriented, heterogeneous capable high performance runtime (StarPU). This talk will describe the higher-level IR and how the required transformations were implemented as LLVM passes.

But even well-adopted solutions like Phinx and Doctrine Migrations have either struggled to keep-up with modern PHP due to architectural issues, or failed to provide enough framework integration to be actually practical for everyday use.
In this talk I'll guide you through Baleen: an open-source PHP framework that synthesizes the very core of the migrations mechanism into a “domain library”, which can be re-used to power migrations for virtually any modern PHP framework (not kidding!). I'll also reveal plans of re-building Doctrine Migrations using the Baleen framework. But most importantly, you'll see an example of how separating common logic into small domain models can help you invent and contribute relevant modules to the open-source community.

Most of those mistakes can't be fixed because doing so would break the ABI that the kernel presents to user-space binaries. To further rub salt into the wound, kernel-user-space APIs are often buggy when first shipped. Thus, it's important to get API designs right the first time. Taking (good and bad) examples from past APIs, I'll cover a number ideas on improving the design of future kernel user-space APIs. Those tips are relevant both for kernel developers producing the APIs and for user-space programmers looking at what kernel developers are serving to them. I'll also look at some strategies that developers can pursue in order to get help with improving the designs of APIs that they are producing.

It offers robust and efficient linguistic annotation to both researchers and non-NLP experts with the aim of lowering the barriers of using NLP technology either for research purposes or for small industrial developers and SMEs. The ixa pipes can be used or exploit its modularity to pick and change different components. Every ixa pipe can be up an running after two simple steps. The tools require Java 1.7+ to run and are designed to come with all batteries included, which means that it is not required to do any system configuration or install any third-party dependencies. The modules will run on any platform as long as a JVM 1.7+ is available.
IXA pipes are just a set of processes chained by their standard streams, in a way that the output of each process feeds directly as input to the next one. The Unix pipes metaphor has been applied for NLP tools by adopting a very simple and well known data centric architecture, in which every module/pipe is interchangeable by any other tool as long as it reads and writes the required data format via the standard streams.
The data format in which both the input and output of the modules needs to be formatted to represent and pipe linguistic annotations is NAF. We currently covered tokenization, pos tagging, lemmatization, Named Entity Recognition and classification and probabilistic parsing, but further annotations and languages can be easily added. The tools are distributed under Apache License 2.0.

DESCRIPTION:Code review is the manual assessment of source code by human reviewers. It is widely recommended practice in software engineering and it is widely adopted both in industrial settings and in open source projects.What can we learn if we compare code review in OSS projects and at Microsoft? In this talk, I will present and compare the results of two studies about code review: One conducted at Microsoft and one conducted in open source settings. We learn that--despite the differences in environments, incentives, languages, and used tools--code review at Microsoft and in the analyzed open source projects have one common trait: The outcome. Unfortunately, this outcome does not match the main reasons why developers say they do code reviews: Finding defects. I will discuss why this happens and what we can do about it.

Its software-only approach and simple configuration makes it extremely well suited for deployment in a Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment. It has already been used as an exemplar VNF (virtual network function) by CloudNFV, Cloudify, OPNFV and Canonical, and deployed live as the backbone of the Indoona VoIP service in Italy, and other major service providers.
This talk covers the key aspects of Clearwater – what an IMS core is and how it fits into a telecommunications network, how Clearwater differs from traditional telecoms appliances, what architectural principles have been followed in building it, how open source has contributed.

Most of these algorithms require that the server and the client run the same algorithm otherwise risk desynchronisation - the nightmare of realtime collaboration algorithm designers. I will propose a new method of finding consensus using a blockchain of the type originated in bitcoin. This algorithm uses the blockchain to find consensus on the state of the collaborative document or data-structure then applies the Operational Transformation on the client side without requiring any help from the server. Such a setup simplifies the server side, allowing multiple implementations of the server, for example in different programming languages, but it also allows the client-side to use encryption in order to keep the data secret from the server. Finally, I will propose an extension to this algorithm which, borrowing again from bitcoin, makes the system able to function purely as a peer-to-peer system, providing high resilience and greater security.

Applications range from controlling computers / machines, biofeedback and Quantified Self. At first sight, the current generation of commercial devices seem to be decent in their functionality, and various use cases are suggested. However, neurophysiological signal quality, as well as limitations of software and hardware hackability are among the greatest issues and hurdles towards advancement in user experience. This is why we started to work on Brain-Duino, an open-source brainwave amplifier shield for the Arduino and other microcontrollers.

DESCRIPTION:Ensuring that top-of-trunk consistently generates high-quality coderemains harder than it should be. Continuous integration (CI) setupsthat track correctness of top-of-trunk work pretty well today sincethey automatically report correctness regressions with low falsepositive rate to committers. In comparison, the output generated by CIsetups that track performance require far more human effort tointerpret.
In this talk, I’ll describe why I think effective performance trackingis hard and what problems need solving, with a focus on our real worldexperiences and observations.
As part of the bring-up of one of the public performance trackingbots, I’ve done an in-depth analysis of its performance and noisecharacteristics. The insights gained from this analysis drove a numberof improvements to LNT and the test-suite in the past year. I hopethat sharing these insights will help others in setting up low-noiseperformance-tracking bots.
I’ll conclude by summarizing what seem to be the most importantmissing pieces of CI functionality to make the performance-trackinginfrastructure as effective as the correctness-trackinginfrastructure.
This presentation has been given before at the US LLVM dev meetingin San Jose. Given the interest there and the mostly non-overlappingaudience between the FOSDEM llvm dev room and the US dev meeting, Ithink it's worthwhile to repeat this presentation at FOSDEM.

We offer
(internet) services to the Dutch higher education and research community.
Our goal was to get hands on experience with Network Function Virtualisation
(NFV) using open source software. We choose to use the OpenDaylight Service
Function Chaining (SFC) software.
In this presentation I will give a short introduction of NFV and the
concepts used in SFC followed by how we used these in a 4K streaming
proof of concept (poc). The network functions is the poc were video
transcoding functions like grayscaling, adding a logo or text, and
mirroring along the Y or X axis. During the development of this
poc we ran into several problems and limitations of both hardware
and software. I will explain the multi table limitations of our
ASIC based OpenFlow switches and the challenges with MAC and IP
address handling in OpenStack VMs.
Ronald van der Pol joined SURFnet in 2012 where he scouts and
evaluates new network technologies. His current focus is on SDN,
NFV, programmable dataplanes (OpenFlow and P4), multipathing, and
end-to-end performance of demanding applications. He holds masters
degrees in both Physics and Computer Science.
Firefox has recently gained an API designed to let developers and add-on developers monitor in real-time the performance of add-ons, webpages or Firefox itself. In this talk, I will present this API, and what we did to make it work reliably and without reducing the performance of Firefox.

This technical talk will outline how Facebook has implemented some of these systems and provide recommendations for methodologies and open-source tools that could allow other organizations to put them into practice. It will also discuss how Facebook is addressing the challenge of serving SSL to millions of people in developing countries.

DESCRIPTION:4 years ago, the UK set up Government Digital services. The objective was to build "digital by default" government services for the UK public which were "simpler, clearer and faster".
User research, user centred design and open source technologies are central to building services that meet GDS's standards.
This session will be an overview of some projects I've worked on showing how user research and design is done in the open, and will discuss limitations of the government "open source" approach.

With IoT.js developers can create IoT services that communicate with each other and the outside world.IoT.js is a lightweight version of Node.js and designed to bring the success of Node.js to small IoT devices like lamps, thermometers, switches and sensors. This class of devices tends to use resource-constrained microcontrollers which are too small to fit a full Node.js stack.In order to meet those constraints, IoT.js runs on top of JerryScript which is a lightweight JavaScript engine running on platforms with less than 64KB of RAM and less than 200KB of flash memory. Despite the low footprint, JerryScript is a full-featured JavaScript engine implementing the entire ECMAScript 5.1 standard.Both IoT.js and JerryScript are open source projects released under the Apache License.The talk will include a demo running a Node.js module with IoT.js on a resource-constrained microcontroller.

This is a tradeoff we free software aficionados accept. What other tradeoffs around freedom are we accepting, when it comes to user experience (including developer experience), codes of conduct, and our financial structures? When we compare those policies and assumptions to licenses like the GPL, we learn unexpected lessons about our attitudes towards governance, and we consider where our decisions place us on the liberty-to-hospitality spectrum.

It is ok if you have a few/several of them. However, most of the companies grow and you can quickly wake up with dozens or hundreds of jobs to maintain.
A new email address/alias to get notification about failed builds? Global migration to the better™ SCM? No way to do it manually with GUI in a convenient way. It just doesn’t scale. Manual scripts using Jenkins API? Better, but hard to test and maintain. The same applies to plugin installation, credentials managements etc. Luckily, there is a better way.
During the talk we will present how Jenkins Job DSL together with Ansible can be used to automatically provision Jenkins instance and maintain any number of jobs. We will show how to define jobs and views in Groovy based DSL and test automatically that the generated structures are exactly the same as expected in Jenkins. Expect live demo - we will setup fully functional Jenkins instance with just one click!

This was done thanks to the Rump kernel, embedded in a library. As a first-working implementation the library is directly linked into mplayer, but of course we plan to make this much more flexible by moving the Rump sound driver into a separate translator, very much like we did for network drivers with netdde. This however poses design questions. The other hardware bit missing on the Hurd is USB support, which we should be able to add a similar way. This poses yet more design questions, as to the shape of the hird of translators we should start for this. This will of course also be the opportunity to give the now-traditional yearly latest news about the Hurd.

Rasdaman is tackling the big data deluge by providing a scalable array database that is capable of storing complex geographic data structures and exposing them through open and standard web services. Actually, the rasdaman team is actively shaping the OGC Big Geo Data standards.
Rasdaman is the OGC Web Coverage Service (WCS) Core Reference Implementation, but also supports WMS and WPS, for example. A particularly exciting extension of the WCS service is the Processing Extension. This links in the Web Coverage Processing Service (WCPS) which allows users to exploit the flexibility of a fully fledged query language for coverages to request ad-hoc parallel processing directly on the server, minimizing data transfer and response times.

If such a row already exists, the implementation should update it. If not, a new row should be inserted. This is supported by way of a new high level syntax (a clause that extends the INSERT statement) that more or less relieves the application developer from having to give any thought to race conditions. This common operation for client applications is set to become far simpler and far less error-prone than legacy ad-hoc approaches to UPSERT involving subtransactions. Moreover, the new implementation performs much better than those legacy approaches.
While the feature is most obviously compelling for OLTP and web application use cases, it's also true that the syntax is powerful enough to be very useful in many real world data integration scenarios. The non-standard PostgreSQL syntax offer explicit, fine grained control over where and how to update. For example, an update may not actually affect an existing row due to not satisfying some additional criteria (i.e. due to not passing the ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE special, dedicated WHERE clause).
This talk gives an overview of the feature from a high level, and examines these use cases. You will learn how you might want to use the new UPSERT feature in your application beyond the obvious. In passing, there will be brief discussion of why UPSERT's implementation proved to be a hard problem, and, relatedly, why a custom syntax was used instead of the SQL standard's MERGE syntax.

After six years, our beloved driver had become quite the complex, monolithic extension, and PHP 5.x was no longer the only platform on the block. With the goal of supporting multiple platforms (PHP 5.x, HHVM, and PHP 7) while still keeping our maintenance burden in check, we set out to create several new light-weight extensions and pushed all of those user-friendly, high-level APIs off to a single, supporting PHP library. This session will walk through our journey and provide a fresh look at the next-generation MongoDB driver for PHP.

We do our best to optimize the computation of data, but our tools and techniques haven't kept up. The need for a new approach to query optimization has never been greater.
This motivates the development of ORCA, now a fully open-source query optimizer that is designed to work with any database.
ORCA has achieved a 1000x performance improvement across TPC-DS queries by focusing on three distinct areas: Dynamic Partition Elimination, SubQuery Unnesting, and Common Table Expression.
ORCA is the default query optimizer in the open-source databases, Greenplum Database -- RDBMS data warehouse solution, and Apache HAWQ -- a SQL on Hadoop solution.
Addison will give an overview of ORCA’s architecture, where the project is headed, and how to get involved.The need to rethink query optimization led to the development of ORCA, now a fully open-source query optimizer that is designed to work with any database.

It makes managing all those different use cases a challenge when we want to reconcile the ability to be flexible and the need of a stable infrastructure. This talk will show how the configuration is generated and processed by a set of micro services, and also how the DNS servers themselves consume it. It concludes on a small digression about how in addition to the common DNS records we use www.facebook.com to load balance our billion daily active user and make them connect to the closest location.

DESCRIPTION:A long time ago (2013), in a galaxy far, far away (Orlando Perl Workshop) I gave a talk in which I declared Perl was not dead, but a dead end. The thesis of the talk being that the Perl 5 core was not a platform capable of change and the Perl 6 future was still to uncertain, so ... the only reasonable thing was to just rewrite it all in Scala!

There are several challenges that highly-dynamic and fully-distributed container orchestration systems impose on SDN architectures.
This presentation is geared towards anyone working with open source SDN technologies, as well as those who would like to ensure the robustness of their containers' connections / of their container connectivity.
Several approaches/options for container networking will be presented, including Weave Net, an open source overlay network for Docker containers. We will demonstrate the in-kernel Open vSwitch datapath used in Weave Net; this manages VXLAN tunnel configuration across hosts, without requiring the user to be a networking expert. We will also highlight how Weave Net provides service discovery and load balancing through a robust, distributed DNS. Users don't need to understand the underlying complexity, nor do they need to make changes to their application.
In this talk, Weave Net's engineers will share what is required to deliver this level of user experience, through the implementation decisions they have made.

This misses the point that IoT is the realization of end-to-end machine interaction. In this talk I address this issue by showing how to approach IoT end-to-end using free software. We'll pick and choose from many projects out there, some of them apparently unrelated to more "traditional" IoT approaches are revealed to be fundamental for a scalable IoT implementation.

First, we will present how to get started hacking Sulong, and use the mx build tool of the Truffle/Graal ecosystem.We use the Truffle Domain Specific Language (DSL) to implement LLVM IR operations as AST nodes, and we will demonstrate how Graal optimizes and compiles the AST.Subsequently, we demonstrate how we implement speculative optimizations such as value profiling, profile based inlining, branch probability injection, inlining of function pointer calls, and other dynamic optimizations.
We show how Sulong uses the Java Unsafe API to access native memory and implement pointers. By using the Graal Foreign Native Interface Sulong can call native libraries directly from Java code. Virtual registers from LLVM bitcode are mapped to the Truffle Frame implementation which gets escape-analyzed and thus ensures fast access to local variables. We show how we map some of the common data types such as I32 directly to Java primitives, and how we map others such as the X86 80 bit floating point to custom Java types.
Finally, we give you an outline of the things we still want to implement in Sulong, and how other Truffle languages can use Sulong as their native interfaces, and perform function inlining and optimizations over language boundaries.We will also present how we want to use Truffle and the Java platform to implement security features such as efficient integer overflow value tagging and memory safety.

If you have ever encountered the problem that something only has Java API while you intend to use it with your C / C++ code, this talk is for you.
The goal of syslog-ng is to become a major player in the big data logging infrastructure market. Our aim is to be the fastest and most reliable logging software that can send messages to most big data tools, for example Elasticsearch, Hadoop and Kafka. Most big data software uses Java API. Originally, syslog-ng has been written in C, with the pros and cons of the language. Although there are a few 3rd party tools in C language, utilizing these results in encountering several problems, for example difficulties when we attempt to follow the original libraries, maintenance issues, and so on. Therefore, in order to stay up-to-date with the big data tools, we must use the official Java APIs. This is why we have started our “Java language binding” project. We also hope that this project will be an important factor in the syslog-ng community, because now anyone who wants to contribute to improving syslog-ng by developing plugins in Java can do so.

BMUnit is very simple to use; just add a few annotations to your test classes and place a few jars in your classpath. This talk will explain how BMUnit works by presenting and executing tests which exemplify the 3 most common use cases:
injecting trace code so you can be sure your tests enter the expectedcode paths
injecting validation rules so you can assert that specific outcomes dooccur
injecting 'faults' to modify state or control flow, driving theapplication or JDK runtime down the path needed to exercise a desiredtest scenario

DESCRIPTION:Users (and developers) don't just want to run an executable, they also like to know that it runs efficiently, that it doesn't use unnecessary resources and if it crashes and burns they want to collect the pieces and inspect what went wrong. So a package should also provide the user with a means to easily profile, trace and debug what is running on their system. This means a distro should also package symbols, debuginfo and sources for easy/automatic installation. With different distros and different versions of distro packages running next to each other in containers we need some standard conventions to identify executables (build-id) and match and fetch the needed symbols, debuginfo and sources to help the user profile, trace and debug any binary they find on their system.

Analyzing high volume transactional data traditionally required complex and hard to maintain ELT / ETL integration batches that ran overnight, causing any insights to be based on data that is already outdated.
What if we could transact data very fast, on an open-source horizontally high scalable NoSQL system, and that data be automatically and constantly written to a massive parallel analytical database - allowing near real-time transactions and analytics?
What if we could cache back on the transactional system any analytical data insights or machine learning algorithm results, pushing those analytical findings back to the applications, allowing real closed-loop analytics?

It was the Darpa Robotics Challenge. The goal of the contest was to push the limits in robotics to assisting humans in responding to natural and man-made disasters. Two years before, as the first part of the contest, took place the Virtual Robotics Challenge (VRC) which consisted on replicate the same set of tasks proposed in challenge finals but using cloud-based robotic simulation instead of real robots.
The Open Source Robotics Foundation (OSRF), thanks to its open source robotics simulator Gazebo and the ROS (robot operative system) framework, was selected to rule this virtual contest. It was a challenge to manage the software infrastructure, from the simulator to machine provisioning, and testing played a key role. The talk will review the testing practices that were designed and implemented during the development of the software infrastructure used for the Virtual Robotics Challenge.
How was the testing of a robotics contest in the cloud done? What did we learn about testing software from organizing the VRC? How using open source software helped to organize the VRC?

This is primarily due to identifier scope complications introduced by the C preprocessor. The CScout refactoring browser analyses complete program families by tagging the original identifiers with their precise location and classifying them into equivalence classes orthogonal to the C language's namespace and scope extents. A web-based user interface provides programmers with an intuitive source code analysis and navigation front-end, while an SQL-based backend allows more complex source code analysis and manipulation. CScout has been successfully applied to many medium and large open source and proprietary projects identifying thousands of modest refactoring opportunities. Projects where CScout has been applied include the Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris kernels, Apache httpd, awk, PostgreSQL, and gdb.

Gradoop is designedaround the so-called Extended Property Graph Model (EPGM) and supportssemantically rich, schema-free graph data. In this model, a database consistsof multiple property graphs, which we call logical graphs. These graphs areapplication specific subsets from shared vertex and edge sets. The EPGMprovides operators for both single graphs as well as collections of graphs.Operators may also return single graphs or graph collections thus enablingthe definition of analytical workflows in a declarative way.
In my talk, I would like to give an overview of Gradoop, the EPGM and itsoperators and show how Apache Flink helps us by presenting a subset of ouroperator implementations. Furthermore, I will sketch the usefulness of Gradoopby presenting an analytical use case from the business intelligence domain.
Gradoop is open-source and licenced under GPLv3. The Gradoop source code anda short documentation can be found on GitHub [3], a more detailed explanationof the data model and our operators can be found in a technical report [4].

Development is led by the Collaboration team at the Wikimedia Foundation, and we have gradually begun using it on Wikimedia projects.
LiquidThreads, an older structured discussion system for MediaWiki wikis, is still in use on some Wikimedia wikis.
Both projects aim to foster Wikimedia collaboration.
We have been converting discussions from LiquidThreads to Flow, to reduce technical debt and make Flow's new features and design available to more users. We have implemented resumable batch software to complete this work.
This talk will be a playful, guided walk through Wikimedia's conversion, exploring how batch software for a complex system has been developed, debugged, and (repeatedly) troubleshooted.
Come hear about the batch architecture and the conversion process. Topics will include performance issues with long-running batch jobs and the challenges of mapping between systems with different data models. Plus, hear why a post about broken JavaScript broke our node.js service, what characters are (really) allowed in HTML 5 and XML, why "Ciudad de México" was the last page I converted in Mexico City, and more.

Today’s perception of containers is primarily focused on the “Dockeriziation” of application containers. Or the forward progression pattern of adopting microservice architectures to achieve immutable results. Meaning - Config Management is a direct antipattern..
The proper answer here is that we can achieve proper microservice patterns, in familiar environments using the tools we’ve had on hand all along. Bringing this knowledge into containers has real world benefits and I’ll show you how.

It's not over: many more threats are on the way. Not by coincidence these attacks on copyleft come when "Open Source" reaches new heights of success. For example, hordes of software developers are funded full time to churn out new Free Software, as long as it's not copylefted. Some such code is specifically designed to replace existing, widely used, copylefted programs.Meanwhile, programs under copyleft licenses (most notably the kernel named Linux) face a decades long, ongoing myriad of license violations. Such violations include nefarious attempts by major companies to shirk their responsibilities under copyleft. The situation is undoubtedly bleak.Those of us who care about software freedom need a plan. Copyleft once assured an equal playing field, but big companies work daily to tilt the playing field in their favor and against the interests of most developers, hobbyists, users, and enthusiasts.

Recording wideband signals is a challenging task, with high data rates often yielding low resolution samples and hence poor range. Multiple strategies have been investigated to reduce the recording rate, including stroboscopy (assuming a static environment), downconversion or frequency stepped measurements, all of which are well suited to feed Software Defined Radio applications. In addition to monitoring passive reflectors, cooperative targets can be designed to reflect a signal whose delay is not representative of distance or velocity but a physical quantity. One early application of such an insight has been the bug placed by Russians in the American ambassador house, modulating an incoming continuous wave illumination signal to an amplitude modulated backscattered signal. Although the leaked NSA documents hint at such techniques still being used today, we will be interested in more daily applications in which sensors are designed to return a signal representative of an identifier (ID-tag) or a physical property.

Advances in networking hardware, with 10Gbps NIC cards being available for only a few hundred dollars, have far outstripped the speeds for which the kernel’s network software was originally written. As with the increasing speed of processors over the last 30 years, systems developers and integrators have always depended on the next generation of hardware to solve the current generation’s performance bottlenecks, often without resorting to any coherent form of measurement. This presentation shows developers and systems integrators at all proficiency levels how to benchmark networking systems, with specific examples. Common pitfalls are called out and addressed and a set of representative tests are given, all using open source software.

We tend to provide information in one or at most a few languages, which makes it hard for speakers of all the other languages to access that same information.This is also an issue on Wikipedia, a project widely and internationally used by all kind of people. But there are many topics that are only covered in few languages on Wikipedia. People who don’t speak any of these don’t have access to all the information available potentially vital to them.This is a huge issue we need to address.
Today we have Wikidata, Wikimedia’s knowledge base, which collects localized open structured data in one central place and makes it available to everyone.In this talk I will show you how we can give more people more access to more knowledge by making use of Wikipedia’s reach and Wikidata’s multilingual data.

A great number of mobile apps have been developed to assist users protect their privacy, but little has been done to address the issues facing distribution of the apps themselves. Basically all of the app stores except F-Droid track their users in detail. Meanwhile, we are working to make F-Droid even more private. Google Play is blocked in many countries, and app stores like Play or iTunes often censor to comply with regional law, whether just or not. Regional app stores are often cesspools of malware. In many countries, people exchange apps through web forums, email, bluetooth, SD Cards, or any other method they can figure out, whether safe or not. Effective techniques for circumventing censorship and internet outages exist, and work in many places, but none work in all, and it is very difficult to keep track of them all. This current state requires users, trainers, developers, and organizations to be fluent in many technical details in order to effectively get and distribute mobile apps and media around the world.
In Cuba, people share apps via mesh networks and thumb drives. In Vietnam, swapping apps with Bluetooth is widespread. In China, the internet is ubiquitous but heavily filtered and monitored; but "collateral freedom" techniques have proven effective. Each of these workarounds can also be useful in many other parts of the world so F-Droid is including them all in a unified user experience. All of these distribution methods are included in F-Droid, and we are now working to provide a simple, smooth user experience, with three use cases in mind:
The developer is in control of a simple set of commands that automate the entire distribution workflow for making highly secure, reproducible builds then getting them out through all possible channels.
Organizations and trainers can use these tools to make curated collections of apps and media use, without getting caught up in the technical details of the whole process.
The end user gets a familiar app store experience, regardless of the complexity behind their successful connectivity.
The 25 minutes talk intends to familiarize the audience with the Processing software sketchbook & language used extensively in education, and gives an overview of the state of this software running on single board computers (RPi, Allwinner SOCs). The second part outlines the challenges in implementing a vendor-neutral hardware I/O library, and what parts are currently missing (esp. kernel-wise) to offer an "Arduino"-like functionality across many affordable SBCs running Linux.

A game jam is hackathon for games, where over the course of 24 hours, a game (or a prototype) should be developed. In our game jam we gave out a common theme: use one aspect of Free Knowledge in the game. The event was a great way to bring two worlds together - the world of Free Knowledge and Open Source software and the (often verycommercially-minded) game industry. This talk aims to introduce you to our concept of creating and promoting open source and free knowledge games via a game jam. Of course we will show you some of the creative games made during this event, too. Some games in-corporated open assets like graphics and sound. Some others used data or photos which are free to use via the Wikimedia APIs or repositories of Free Knowledge like Wikimedia Commons.

Hence, graph database systems are becoming increasingly important. In the study of these systems, it is vital that the R&D community has shared benchmarking solutions for the generation of database instances and query workloads having predictable and controllable properties. Similarly to TPC benchmarks for relational databases, benchmarks for graph databases have been important drivers for the Semantic Web and graph data management communities. Current benchmarks, however, are either limited to fixed graphs or graph schemas, or provide limited or no support for generating tailored query workloads to accompany graph instances.
To move the community forward, a benchmarking approach which overcomes these limitations is crucial. In this talk, we present the design and engineering principles of gMark, a domain- and query language-independent open-source graph benchmark addressing these limitations of current solutions. A core contribution of gMark is its ability to target and control the diversity of properties of both the generated graph instances and the generated query workloads coupled to these instances. A further novelty is the support of recursive regular path queries, a fundamental graph query paradigm. We illustrate the flexibility and practical usability of gMark by showcasing the framework's capabilities in generating high quality graphs and workloads, and its ability to encode user-defined schemas across a variety of application domains.
This is joint work with Guillaume Bagan, Angela Bonifati, Radu Ciucanu, Aurélien Lemay, and Nicky Advokaat.

Environment Modules have been the way since the '90 thatusers select the software they need. They allow users to load andunload the packages they want. They get to control which version ofthe software they use, rather than the system administrators. Lmod,implemented in Lua, is a modern replacement for the venerable TCL/Cbased tool. Lmod offers many features to handle the vastly moredynamic software environment than the original tool was designed tohandle.

After the Nepal Earthquake in 2015, more than 7000 contributors came together using open source tools such as the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team's Tasking Manager to make more than 13 million edits to OpenStreetMap in the first two weeks after the earthquake. These tools are also empowering communities and international NGOs such as the American Red Cross and Medicins Sans Frontiers to map vulnerable areas before disasters occur. Using the power of the crowd, over 4000 "Missing Maps" volunteers have now put an area where 7.5 million people live onto OpenStreetMap for the first time. These efforts, powered by open source tools, are having real life saving impact and been credited for helping stop the spread of Ebola (http://www.fastcolabs.com/3037350/elasticity/inside-the-crowdsourced-map-project-that-is-helping-contain-the-ebola-epidemic) and improving the Nepal Earthquake response (http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-04/28/mapping-nepal-after-the-earthquake)

Governance in the real world DESCRIPTION:Many FOSS projects have a carefully designed governance. But to which extent that governance fits the real inner life of the project? In this talk I will present some ways of measuring to which extent governance may be subverted (or not) by real practices, how that can be detected, and tracked. From this base, I will show how a continuous tracking of those behaviors can contribute to a more fair development community, and to increase the trust in the project. The discussion will be framed by the concept of "open development analytics".

What you might not know is what it means - telecommunications companies who have traditionally used only proprietary software to run their core services are now embracing free and open source software, and in the process changing the way they build and deploy core telco serives to be more open.
This presentation will review what makes up an NFV stack in OPNFV, covering OpenStack, OpenDaylight, Open vSwitch, DPDK, QEMU, the Linux kernel, and other projects. I will present the work being done in these communities to enable the migration of telco applications to this platform, particularly in the areas of improved network dataplane performance, enabling better management of applications running on the platform, and the ability to run real-time guest workloads with KVM.
I will also look at the organisational transformation in the telecommunications industry, and the adoption of DevOps and agile practices, and the evolving culture of the telecommunications industry, and how the changes that are happening at the request of the telecommunications industry benefit everyone, from the home hardware hacker hobbyist to IT operations in small and large companies.

(e.g., non-deterministic hardware faults, message ordering, ..)
In the talk, we will show Earthquake, our open-source debugging framework for distributed systems.Earthquakes permutes Ethernet packets, Filesystem events, Java/C function calls, and injected faults in various orders so as to control non-determinism in the cluster.Basically, Earthquake permutes events in a random order, but the user can write his/her own state exploration policy (in Go language) for finding deep bugs efficiently.Earthquake also controls non-determinism of the thread interleaving by calling sched_setattr(2) with randomized parameters.
We will also share our successful stories about testing some Hadoop components with Earthquake.For ZooKeeper, we found a distributed race condition bug which decreases availability of a ZooKeeper cluster.We also reproduced a known ZooKeeper bug that no one had successfully reproduced for 2 years, and analyzed its cause.For YARN, we found a disk-fault tolerance bug that inappropriately marks faulty node as healthy.We also found bugs of non-Hadoop softwares, such as etcd.
With Earthquake, you can also test your real distibuted systems without any modification.

Designed as a generic data sequencer, this open source software allows a remote dialog with various applications, such as Max, Pd, Live ... using show-control protocols like OSC to store and recall parameters value.
Founded by the National French Research Agency project OSSIA, the 1.0 version of i-score proposes a graphical formalism to set precise temporal and conditional relationships between events that can be interactively triggered. The edition and the execution of several independant time layers offer an unique way to manage parameters automations being attended by tools to interpolate states or to draw your own curved breakpoint function.
As the result of continuous discussions between scientists, ingeneers and users, the presentation will be articulated around well known issues identified during the development of setups for show-control or interactives setups used in museographic situations.

I discuss about what is certification and group communication explaining how it's performed. I also cover the difference between MySQL 5.6 GTID and Galera GTID.
We always say Galera replication in synchronous... is it really ? Always ? For every steps ?
What are the caveats of such replication ?
After this presentation, the audience should be comfortable with terms like Brute Force Abort, Flow Control, Local Certification Failure... and now what does virtual-synchronous mean.
The plan is to demystify this technology with easy illustrations and analogies.
