This document discusses visualizing geographic data related to frog sightings in Australia. Over 6,700 frog sightings have been recorded by FrogSpotter, an app and website that allows users to log frog sightings and view data on a map. The data is aggregated and can be accessed through FrogSpotter and other sites. The goal is to continue improving FrogSpotter and making more frog population data available through open data portals and visualizations.

AUTHOR: CLAUDINE CHIONH Public history is a field that seeks to return the study and interpretation of history to the wider community. While 'professional' historians with academic training may be involved, public history is largely focused on and driven by 'amateurs' – genealogists, local history societies and others who collect and collate sources and interpret and present them for a general audience. The increased use of the internet in recent years has created new opportunities for opening up sources and archives to the world, and for collaboration and public presentation of historical research. In this presentation I will describe two projects that aim to collect and publish historical sources on the web and to work with local and family historians to maintain these as dynamic historical resources.

Gratis & libre - Liam Wyatt

Brianna Laugher

AUTHOR: LIAM WYATT “Gratis & Libre” discusses aspects of the idea of freedom in history by analysing the means by which it is curtailed. Specifically these are: the changing nature of copyright; attempts at censorship; knowledge destruction; the monetary cost of knowledge; and the politics of language. It seeks to show how Wikipedia walks a well-trodden path of anti-authority when it comes to the various means by which the ideal of freedom has been curtailed.

So You're A Software Developer, Now What? Exploring Career Growth

Brianna Laugher

Talk presented at PyConline Australia 2021. So you’re a software developer, now what? Is it satisfying? How do you level up? How can you influence your career direction? How can you even figure out what you want? If your manager asked where you want your career to go, do you know what you would say? Do you feel like being a developer is a bit “meh”, but you are not really sure what else is out there? If career questions make you feel a bit lost, you’re not alone. It’s common for software developers to feel that their career is something that happens to them while they scramble for job stability, rather than something that they have any influence or control over. This talk will challenge you to look sideways when it comes to moving on up. Software is so much more than just programming, even if you still program every day. Come to get some new ideas on what your current or next job might look like, and how to figure out what you might like. Leave with some confident directions to guide your next 1:1 discussion or job search. Software is a generous and expansive field - why not aim to find fulfilling work while we’re here, hey?

CFFSW - Crowdfunded free software

Slides for a talk at PyCon AU 2013. Integrating PyDAP + WMS + OpenLayers + IPython Notebook. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJqBGi48RAM The IPython Notebook is a powerful web app for exploring ideas and data sets with Python. It has excellent integration with Matplotlib, giving the user highly customisable static plots with ease. But for larger data sets, a static plot may not be ideal - the ability to pan, zoom, choose dynamic layers and sample the data at particular points would be nice. This talk will demonstrate just how easy it is to integrate a Web Map Service/client such as Pydap/Leaflet.js into the IPython Notebook.

Funcargs & other fun with pytest

Brianna Laugher

Video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTNejE9EraI Code - https://gist.github.com/3386951 Pytest is a mature and comprehensive testing suite for Python projects, but it can be a little intimidating for newcomers. Where do these mysterious funcargs come from, how do parametrised tests work, and where are my xUnit-style setUp and tearDown methods? Pytest lives by "convention over configuration" - which is great once you know what the conventions are. This talk will look at real examples of pytest in use, emphasising the features that differentiate it from nose.

Zookeepr: Home-grown conference management software

Brianna Laugher

A talk presented at PyCon AU 2011. Zookeepr ( http://zookeepr.org/ ) is a comprehensive web-based conference management system, written in Python and built on Pylons. It has an unusual development history: custom created for the annual Linux.conf.au conference, there are yearly spikes in event-focused feature development, but relatively little of the ongoing development typically seen in open source projects. This presentation is an introduction to the project, aimed at developers interested in contributing to a non-trivial open source project where meeting your fellow developers is quite possible, even likely, and your work is almost guaranteed to be seen and used each year by hundreds of Australia's most diehard geeks.

Distributed wikis

Brianna Laugher

The “right to fork”, a consequence of the “hack on copyright” that is copyleft licensing, helps keep open source and open content project leaders honest. Forking is a political act as much as a version control command, and it used to be that both were a big deal. But now that distributed version control systems (DVCS) have made forking trivial, are there implications for the political act as well? How does political forking work within collaborative prose text projects (i.e. wikis)? English Wikipedia is so large as to be practically unforkable - it essentially has an unassailable monopoly, and unchecked power, in the English language encyclopedia market. One of the core Wikipedia rules is “one topic, one article”, which would seem to prohibit forking, but could we adhere to this principle and still take advantage of DVCS? Can a community be forked while keeping the shared project goals intact? Audience members will benefit from a grasp of version control, distributed version control and the workings of wikis and Wikipedia. Presented at the 'Freedom in the Cloud' miniconf, Monday January 24 2011 at linux.conf.au.

Clash of the encyclopedias - is competition good for sharing?

Brianna Laugher

Talk given at the Get It Louder 'SHARISM' conference in Shanghai, 22 October 2010. http://www.getitlouder.com/enChair.aspx?ID=94 One of the benefits of the open web is that good ideas can flourish easily. In the Chinese speaking web, the idea of an online encyclopedia has been especially fruitful. With the Chinese Wikipedia enjoying its eighth birthday last month, it’s worth examining whether the fragmentation of efforts ultimately leads to a better product and bigger communities, or if the “us vs them” mentality is harmful to sharing.

Freedom Fighting: How do we convince the powers that be to relax their grip? ...

Brianna Laugher

AUTHOR: JESSICA COATES Over the last few years the free culture movement has moved out of the bedrooms and into the boardrooms. Open copyright models are increasingly of interest not just to enthusiasts, but to big name creators, government bodies and even corporate entities. It finally feels like we're just a hair's breadth away from widespread acceptance and take up, both in Australia and internationally. But there is still that tiny gap. How do we get people to cross the final divide from interested party to adopter? Drawing on her experience as Project Manager of Creative Commons Australia, Jessica Coates will lead a group discussion on tactics for promoting greater adoption of open copyright in Australia. What tools are most useful for spreading the word? What projects have been successful in the past? How do we convince people to give more thought to their copyright decisions?

AUTHOR: SIMON GREENER This talk will attempt a review of the geospatial data space within Australia. The talk will outline who the main players are, what spatial data is available, and the licensing options that cover their use. An assessment of the licenses will be made. In particular the talk will outline the data that is available for free and, and after establishing the various uses of that data, assess how important that data is to various sectors and individuals within society and how it might benefit society as a whole.

Future directions for copyright law - Laura Simes

Brianna Laugher

AUTHOR: LAURA SIMES Australia's copyright laws are the chief means by which we as a society regulate the creation and distribution of knowledge. With the digital age well and truly upon us, individuals, corporations and Governments are grappling with how copyright law now 'fits' in with this, with diverse opinions on how copyright law could or should adapt to meet these changes. This talk will look at a few current issues of interest in the world of copyright, and consider where we seem to be heading. Some developments, such as the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) suggest a preoccuopation with stronger copyright laws and penalties. On the other hand, the recent Review of the National Innovation System (aka the Cutler Report) presents a number of recommendations for more 'flexible' copyright law, along with a suggestion that we need to look at copyright law in a different way than we have in the past.

Beyond Open Source - Arthur Sale

Brianna Laugher

AUTHOR:ARTHUR SALE The Open Source movement, of which Linux is a shining example, is a showcase of how accessibility makes for excellence. A parallel thrust is currently being conducted in the research institutions and the publishing industries of the world to create Open Access to the world’s publicly funded research. Arthur Sale will trace the origin of the movement, its economics and the forces holding it back, and where we are now, particularly in Australia. Open Access, or OA, has very many more active participants than Open Source, and many more nay-sayers, cautious Scrooges, and ignorant people. The struggle is titanic – the benefits equally large! http://freeasinfreedom.modernthings.org/d/doku.php?id=arthur_sale

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !

KatiaHIMEUR1

Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster. However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks. In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024

Tobias Schneck

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other? Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
