“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.
The development of better library information systems will always remain the core business of any serious library organization, but a shift took place towards (freely) available web-based tools for creating and managing the information workflow.
End-users are not only using these heavily, but are also creating their own preferred tools. Today's students are incorporating Web 2.0 skills in daily life, in their social and learning environments. Tomorrow's academic staff will expect to be able to use their preferred tools and resources within their work environment. Today's ánd tomorrow's libraries should support students and staff in the learning and research process by integrating their services and resources into our patrons' environments.
This practical workshop will demonstrate the use of Web 2.0 technology to empower users and librarians. During a hands-on session, participants will work with these tools. They will develop tailor-made services via personal start page software like Netvibes, making use of RSS-feeds, Widgets and Browser extensions.
We will explore the use of Netvibes and Web 2.0 tools in library staff and/or library user education/instruction. We will focus on library services which can be created almost on-the-fly with low costs and high impact. The growing use of social networks justifies the development of a library presence within these networks to reach out to our users.

Web 2.0: Implications For The Cultural Heritage Sectorlisbk

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.

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

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.

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.
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.

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.
A talk given at the August 2010 meeting of the Linux Users of Victoria. About using their mailing list of some 20,000 messages (since the start of 2007) with over 2 million words, as a demonstration of using a web corpus in NLTK (Natural Language Tool Kit), the Python library.
A talk I gave at the first MXUG-style Girl Geek Dinner in Melbourne, 21/7/2009. This version comes with extra explanatory slides for the attendance-deprived.
I love web apps. But they generally don't have very good tools to help their own users deal with data overload. Like filters and summaries. Luckily, we have APIs, so they're pretty easy to string together. Examples using MediaWiki.
Free as in Market: Liberty and Property - Rusty RussellBrianna Laugher
AUTHOR: RUSTY RUSSELL
The capitalists keep telling us that strong property rights are the basis of economic freedom, and intuitively people like owning stuff. This is a powerful argument for Free Software with their limits on IP powers, but for some reason it is usually used to argue for strong IP rights. Should be a fun talk.
Public history in the digital age - Claudine ChionhBrianna Laugher
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.

The internet has radically changed what it means to be a journalist – but at the same time the laws, structures and ethical framework for traditional reporting have been weakened or rendered meaningless. Sarah Stokely talks about the pitfalls, challenges and blissful freedoms of being a blogger and citizen journalist in the post-print world.
OpenAustralia - Everyday democracy for everybody in Australia - Matthew LandauerBrianna Laugher
AUTHOR: MATTHEW LANDAUER
Launched to the public in June 2008, http://www.openaustralia.org/ gives everyone much better access to the daily business of democracy in Australia. Have a look! In this talk we'll run through a lightning history of the Hansard and its relationship with our democracy, discuss how our political health depends on it, and show all the fun you could be having with the data.
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?
Free and open geodata: From shadows to reality - Simon GreenerBrianna Laugher
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 SimesBrianna 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.
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!

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 2024Tobias 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.

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.
