OSCON 2013 - Planning an OpenStack Cloud - Tom FifieldOSCON Byrum
The flexibility of OpenStack is a dual-edged sword, giving you unprecedented control over your infrastructure, but potentially becoming a nightmare for the indecisive manager, architect or sysadmin!
In this presentation, Tom Fifield – co-author of the OpenStack Operations Guide, and Community Manager at the OpenStack Foundation – takes you through some of the decisions you will face when planning your OpenStack cloud. In addition to a brief introduction on OpenStack and advice on how to interact with the community, he will cover topics such as:
How to approach your deployment, ranging from DIY to a turn-key solution from the ecosystem
Storage and networking decisions, including plugin options
Automating deployment and configuration with popular tools like Puppet and Chef
Through discussion of the ecosystem, customization and scaling, you’ll walk away with an understanding of ‘what it takes’ to build your OpenStack cloud.
Protecting Open Innovation with the Defensive Patent LicenseOSCON Byrum
The Defensive Patent License (DPL) is a new legal mechanism to protect innovators by creating a patent network that is committed to defense and "de-weaponizing" patents. It draws from the theories and values of F/OSS licensing to create obligations that "travel with the patent"--preventing troll from taking over open technologies and pulling them out of the public domain.
Using Cascalog to build an app with City of Palo Alto Open DataOSCON Byrum
"Using Cascalog to build an app with City of Palo Alto Open Data" by Paco Nathan, presented at OSCON 2013 in Portland. Based on a case study from "Enterprise Data Workflows with Cascading" http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920028536.do
Finite State Machines are overlooked at best, ignored at worst, and virtually always dismissed. This is tragic since FSMs are not just about Door Locks (the most commonly used example). On the contrary, these FSMs are invaluable in clearly defining communication protocols – ranging from low-level web-services through complex telephony application to reliable interactions between loosely-coupled systems. Properly using them can significantly enhance the stability and reliability of your systems.
Join me as I take you through a crash-course in FSMs, using erlang’s gen_fsm behavior as the background, and hopefully leaving you with a better appreciation of both FSM and erlang in the process.

The Vanishing Pattern: from iterators to generators in PythonOSCON Byrum
The core of the talk is refactoring a simple iterable class from the classic Iterator design pattern (as implemented in the GoF book) to compatible but less verbose implementations using generators. This provides a meaningful context to understand the value of generators. Along the way the behavior of the iter function, the Sequence protocol and the Iterable interface are presented. The motivating examples of this talk are database applications.

OSCON 2012 US Patriot Act Implications for Cloud Computing - Diane Mueller, A...OSCON Byrum
Presented by Diane Mueller, ActiveState @pythondj
Are you unsure what the security and privacy implications are for sensitive corporate data? US Patriot Act is causing many of us to hesitate on leveraging the cloud.
Organizations are thinking long and hard about the legal and regulatory implications of cloud computing. When it comes to actual corporate data, no matter what the efficiency gains are, legal departments are often directing IT departments to steer clear of any service that eliminates their ability to keep potential sensitive information out of the hands of Federal prosecutors.
Despite all the hype about every application moving into the cloud, some practical patterns are starting to emerge in the types of data corporations are willing to move to the cloud.
Covered in this session:
(a) Introduction to the US Patriot Act and Data Privacy issues Implications for on Cloud Computing Jurisdictional Issues
(b) Best Practices & Practical Patterns Classes of applications that best leverage the cloud
(c)What types of applications should stay on-premise Private Cloud Model(s) Building a Compliant Cloud Strategy

BodyTrack: Open Source Tools for Health Empowerment through Self-Tracking OSCON Byrum
The BodyTrack project develops open source tools self tracking tools to aggregate and visualize data from diverse sources such as wearable sensors, observations from mobile apps, photos, and environmental data. Our goal is to empower individuals to explore potential environment/health interactions (food sensitivities, asthma or migraine triggers, sleep problems, etc.) and better assess strategies they think might help.
A Look at the Network: Searching for Truth in Distributed ApplicationsOSCON Byrum
A talk by C. Scott Andreas (@cscotta) of Boundary on "the network" and designing / deploying distributed applications.
This session offers a deep-dive into how application-level problems manifest at the network level. Some of these cases range from basic network partitions and node outages to sophisticated application-level changes such as garbage collections on managed runtimes, classes of bugs which evade conventional monitoring but constitute partial failures, changes in network activity based on database partitioning, load balancing, and sharding, and other warning signs that crop up at layer three long before wreaking havoc at layer seven as customer-visible failures begin to occur. Combining application-level metrics with network analytics is a powerful cocktail for identifying hot spots quickly, and connecting the dots out to the client closes the loop.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

135. A Community-wide
Database
Build an inter-agency superset of public art
137. Yes, it’s complicated.
Yet Portland has some of the best
public art data in the country.
138. Data Source Tips
• Start small
• Find allies and implement an example
• Don’t wait for the perfect dataset
• Plan for chaos
• But be ambitious in the long-term!
140. Each source has its own:
• metadata
• schema
• volatility
• level of accuracy and currency
• messes to clean up
141. A dynamic mix of...
• noisy data
• shifting standards
• unexpected restrictions
• adapting to community requests
• addressing data provider concerns
• ambiguities of project 'ownership'

I look forward to using this app on a walking

235. The Pace of Each Layer
http://www.ecobuildtrends.com/2011/02/designing-in-layers.html
236. "A design imperative emerges: An adaptive building has
to allow slippage between the differently-paced systems of
Site, Structure, Skin, Services, Space plan, and Stuff.
Otherwise the slow systems block the flow of the
quick ones, and the quick ones tear up the slow ones
with their constant change. Embedding the systems
together may look efficient at first, but over time it is
the opposite and destructive as well."
