Below are all the speakers for this edition of OSCAL.

Adam Samalik

Open source enthusiast. Software Engineer with Red Hat working on Fedora. Most of Adam’s activities tend to be in the Fedora community, focusing on advocacy and innovations of the Linux distribution. This includes looking at ways how to make the build infrastructure more effective, exploring ways how we can define and manage different lifecycles within the distribution, and also making sure everything is understandable and well documented. He also enjoys automating things with horrible shell scripts, making graphical design, and writing.

Topic
Linux distributions, lifecycles, and containers

Description
Deploying software has lots of solutions, but what gets deployed often plays out as a fight between developers and operators. Developers want the latest (or at least later) code. Operators want things in nice packages, certified, and with a known period of support. What we need is a catalog of software with the variety of versions the developers need, with the qualities expected by the operators. Come and learn how various projects within Fedora approach this problem from different perspectives, including Fedora Modularity, containers, Fedora CoreOS, and Fedora Silverblue.

Adrian Ratiu

Adrian Ratiu is both a hobbyist and a professionel embedded Linux software engineer, currently working for Collabora in the Core Systems team. He has a wide range of interests accross the F/LOSS stack from low-level bootloaders, the kernel and associated sub-projects like PREEMPT_RT or eBPF, to maintaining his own Yocto/OpenEmbedded-based distribution and hacking on various tools like Emacs or the notmuch mail indexer. He created an eBPF series on the Collabora blog which can be useful for those wishing to further their knowledge after attending this introductory presentation.

Topic
A gentle introduction to Linux tracing using eBPF

Description
Over the last few years a new technology has been developed within the Linux kernel. It allowings engineers to safely monitor, debug or modify the behaviour of a running system, both in production and development, without risking performance degradations (for example a normal debugger completely halts a process), crashes or other unwanted side-effects which may negatively impact software reliability. This is done by running code inside a kernel Virtual Machine which is now present and enabled by default in all Linux distribution kernels, and is gaiding wide industry adoption. Come to this presentation to learn more and how you can also use this technology on your own devices. No prior OS/Linux kernel development experience is required.

He joined the Free Software Foundation Europe in 2018 as EU Public Policy Programme Manager.

Topic
Public Money? Public Code!

Description
"Why is software that is programmed with taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software? We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for public sector must be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software licence. If it is public money, it should be public code as well. Code paid by all people should be available to all people! This talk will provide a brief overview of the FSFE's previous and ongoing activities to foster software freedom in Europe on the levels of politics, legal work with enterprises, and general public awareness."

Topic
Introduction to Anonymous Mix Networks Description
I shall explain the renewed interest in mix networks. Like Tor, mix networks protect against metadata leakage by using layered encryption and routing packets between a series of independent nodes. Mix networks resist vastly more powerful adversary models than Tor though, including global passive adversaries. In so doing, mix networks add both latency and cover traffic. We shall outline the basic components of a mix network, touch on their roles in resisting active and passive attacks, and discuss how the latency impacts reliability, application design, and user experience.

Topic
Presentation of the pilot-project and website ‘Preservingtirana.city’, the common public platform, connecting Participatory Architecture to Open Source culture.

Description
The initial idea of our project started after a dedicated research project developed on the urban texture of the city of Tirana where many issues of the urban development were identified. This lead to the grassroots development of Preservingtirana.city as a necessary, interactive platform for the online documentation of some important assets of Tirana’s Identity as a city, the ‘neglected buildings’ with a specific historical, cultural and architectural value left in the deterioration of the course of nature. An innovative added value of the project is the fact that the website has been created in all of its phases through the notions of an Open source platform, all the data and content of the website can be found on GitHub so that it can be a public common project offering the opportunity to the community and people interested to contribute to its further development, in different ways (detaily explained how, on the website). Apart from using GitHub as an open source platform for the community engagement, we use also Wikimedia Commons for all the visual contents (images) of the website as a further step that enriches the project and offers another way of contributing at the same time to two different platforms. One of the ways of contributing can be done also through Cryptocurrency, since a bitcoin-wallet was provided specifically for the website Preservingtirana.city. The project aims to raise the awareness of people to participate in preserving their common public assets of the city they live in, aims to give to people interested, the basic notions of using GitHub or Wikimedia commons and it also represents a pilot-project that starts with Tirana but that can be implemented for several other cities that suffer from the same problematics, once the structure already exists. A first presentation of the website happened on the beginning of January, at Open Labs Hackerpace Ti rana, a very supportive community for the project. To see all the above mentioned issues please check the website: www.preservingtirana.city

TFW your country is funding Open Source development         

Description
During 2018 I’ve been a contractor for the Italian Digital Transformation Team working on docs.italia.it (Docs Italia), a platform to collect and share the Public Administration documentation. Docs Italia is an Open Source platform based on the Read The Docs code. Working in the open posed its own set of issues:

  - does contributing upstream deliver value to our project?
  - working productively with an Open Source community
  - managing an Open Source project fork

In this talk I’ll share what we did and how it did go.

Why Are You So Busy?

Description
For this presentation we look at a simple but very fundamental question: why are you so busy? Are you wondering what happened in the last 30 years which caused such a shift in the amount of work we do on a daily basis? And how you can improve your coping skills so you can spend more time on the things that really matter? If so, this presentation is for you! We'll dive deeper into how we got here, and -more importantly- how we can make everything a little better for ourselves.

Open Source Product Development: from research to release         

Description
In 1974 Fred Brooks argued that an app requires nine times extra work to take it from merely being functional, to being a usable product. This challenge is as real now as it was then. What is this extra work, and can you do it using pure Open Source?
At phpList we manage both hosted and downloadable products, from conception to release, using Open Source tools. That includes usability, acceptance, and A/B testing, project management, and more. In this talk Sam will provide a high-level overview of powerul Open Source systems for managing modern software products, including a specific workflow which uses them.
Whether you are creating a web app on a budget, or wanting to make an Open Source project the best that it can be, gain insight into how Open Source can support and empower your workflow.

The hairy issue of end to end encrypted instant messaging

Description
In XMPP there is a over 14 years of experience with end to end encryption in distributed chat systems. After 4 standards for e2e encryption, we are still not content. So what makes it so hard to come up with a good encryption standard? Well, to name some of the issues: - what is the threat model e2e encryption should protect against? - what about the metadata? - what about audit trails? - what about archives? - what about group chats? - what about multiple devices? - what about key-verification? After this talk you will never look at e2e encrypted chats in the same way again.

Structural Patterns: Implementing the Composite Pattern in a single page webapp using parcel.js and Javascript ES6.

Description
What is one of the main concerns when building any software product? My favorite answer is "Managing Complexity!". Starting as a wireframe with a little markup, some dynamically generated content, throw in a templating engine and maybe some persistence and eventually that will turn into a conglomerate of interconnected software features. Adding new features whilst maintaining the delivery as short as possible, becomes a real struggle while barely keeping the head above the water with the sporadically emerging bugs.
How to make this mess manageable while keeping your software sanity in check?
The answer is Design Patterns. - Common solutions to well know problems. Don't reinvent the wheel, and most of the people looking at your code will recognize these patterns.
Composite Pattern as name implies means composing objects into wholesome structures that can be treated as a simple instance. Start with the top and keep braking it down until all you have remaining is granular and a no brainer to implement.
The Composite Pattern in Action: 10-15 of live coding session, demonstrating the concepts and getting familiarized with the following libraries and tools.
Javascript ES6 - although not a typical object oriented programing language but we can leverage the classes and inheritance mechanisms to implement a component based single page webapp based on the Composite pattern.

MoustacheJS - lightweight open source templating engine allowing the separation of the markup from the business logic and architectural code.

jQuery - DOM traversing and manipulation, ajax client, popular and lightweight

Parcel JS - lightweight,open source web application bundler, package and optimise a variety of resources, packaging ES6 JS code and libraries, code splitting.
