Gary Landrio - Streetcars
Streetcars provide fixed route transportation using electric vehicles running on steel rails. They have been in use since the late 19th century. Streetcars can encourage development and shape city growth by connecting inner cities to new housing, employment, and entertainment. Many cities have recently restored or implemented streetcar systems to aid development, tourism, and mobility. Streetcar projects typically cost $3.5-5.5 million per mile to build and less than bus systems to operate, with funding coming from various government and local sources.

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP: From Content Creation to Consumption
Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is an adaptive bitrate streaming technique that enables high-quality streaming of media content over the Internet delivered from conventional HTTP web servers. It works by breaking the media content into a sequence of small HTTP-based file segments, each segment containing a short interval of playback time of the overall content. The presentation is described through a MPD manifest file that contains information about the available adaptations sets and representations of the media content. The client can then select the most appropriate representation based on available bandwidth, device capabilities, and user preferences.

It also discusses how the ADW taxonomy was built from multiple sources and how taxonomy data could be better managed in the future by separating source data and building composite classifications to import into other databases.
Improving Drupal Taxonomy Editor
The document discusses improving the Drupal Taxonomy Editor for biological taxonomy. It describes tasks like name editing, classification editing, and reconciliation. Name editing involves adding, changing, and deleting species names. Classification editing allows changing the hierarchy and ranks of organisms. Reconciliation groups different names for the same species together. The ideal editor would allow quickly editing names, classifications, and reconciliations with features like flags, ranks, synonyms, and a two-window interface. However, the current Drupal editor is relatively slow and lacks some of these key capabilities.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
