Presented at Open Source 101 2023 - Charlotte Presented by Keegan Campbell, GitHub Title: Zero to Open Source Contributor Abstract: In this talk aimed squarely at newer developers, GitHub's Keegan Campbell will discuss how to be a successful contributor on GitHub's open source projects, skills that will be broadly applicable across the industry. I will open with the basics: read the contributing.md, be kind, and consider the project's goals and directions when submitting. When the project is not well-established or is missing ideal documentation, I'll share strategies for overcoming and espousing a "campground mentality" to leave the project better off because of your interaction. We will discuss the machinations required to contribute (forking, PR submission, merging). I'll describe how to consider testing appropriately from a maintainer's perspective, and detail what we look for in a successful issue or PR writeup. I will conclude by giving tips on how to follow through on a PR, responding to feedback without firing and forgetting, and tricks to speed your PRs along to the approval and release phase. By the end of the talk, attendees will feel empowered and confident when submitting contributions to public repositories.

How and Why you can and should Participate in Open Source Projects (AMIS, Sof...
For a long time I have been reluctant to actively contribute to an open source project. I thought it would be rather complicated and demanding – and that I didn't have the knowledge or skills for it or at the very least that they (the project team) weren't waiting for me.
In December 2021, I decided to have a serious input into the Dapr.io project – and now finally to determine how it works and whether it is really that complicated. In this session I want to tell you about my experiences. How Fork, Clone, Branch, Push (and PR) is the rhythm of contributing to an open source project and how you do that (these are all Git actions against GitHub repositories). How to learn how such a project functions and how to connect to it; which tools are needed, which communication channels are used. I tell how the standards of the project – largely automatically enforced – help me to become a better software engineer, with an eye for readability and testability of the code.
How the review process is quite exciting once you have offered your contribution. And how the final "merge to master" of my contribution and then the actual release (Dapr 1.6 contains my first contribution) are nice milestones.
I hope to motivate participants in this session to also take the step yourself and contribute to an open source project in the form of issues or samples, documentation or code. It's valuable to the community and the specific project and I think it's definitely a valuable experience for the "contributer". I looked up to it and now that I've done it gives me confidence – and it tastes like more (I could still use some help with the work on Dapr.io, by the way).
HOW TO OPTIMIZE NON-CODING TIME, ORI KEREN, LinearB
Github Copilot and tools that help us code better are cool. But I’m lucky if I spend 90 minutes a day writing code. We really need to optimize the hours we spend reviewing code, updating tickets and tracing where our code is deployed. Learn how I save an hour a day streamlining non-coding tasks.
This talk is unique because 99% of developer productivity tools and hacks are about coding faster, better, smarter. And yet the vast majority of our time is spent doing all of this other stuff. After I started focusing on optimizing the 10 hours I spend every day on non-coding tasks, I found I my productivity went up and my frustration at annoying stuff went way down. I cover how to save time by reducing cognitive load and by cutting menial, non-coding tasks that we have to perform 10-50 times every day. For example:
Bug or hotfix comes through and you want to start working on it right away so you create a branch and start fixing. What you don’t do is create a Jira ticket but then later your boss/PM/CSM yells at your due to lack of visibility. I share how I automated ticket creation in Slack by correlating Github to Jira.
You have 20 minutes until your next meeting and you open a pull request and start a review. But you get pulled away half way through and when you come back the next day you forgot everything and have to start over. Huge waste of time. I share an ML job I wrote that tells me how long the review will take so I can pick PRs that fit the amount of time I have.
You build. You ship it. You own it. Great. But after I merge my code I never know where it actually is. Did the CI job fail? Is it release under feature flag? Did it just go GA to everyone? I share a bot I wrote that personally tells me where my code is in the pipeline after it leaves my hands so I can actually take full ownership without spending tons of time figuring out what code is in what release.

How to Market Your Open Source Project
How to Market Your Open Source Project
Presented by Ben Nuttall, BBC News Labs
Presented at Open Source 101 2021
Abstract: Having great software is one thing - getting the word out to your potential users is another. Sometimes the more popular project isn't technically better, they just managed to reach their users better.
There are plenty of ways you can find ways to reach your users and grow the adaptation of your project - finding both end-users and potential contributors. Not all of them will work for you, not all of them will be possible, but there's lots to consider and things you can try out without too much effort.
You don't have to be a budget, and you don't have to be backed by a company but if you have the support of a company or bigger project you can make use of that to promote the project.
So what does it take? This talk covers:
- Defining what your project is, who it's for and what problem it solves
- Identifying what people did before your project (is it now easier or faster?)
- Git & GitHub
- Welcoming contributors
- Open discussions & open roadmap
- Active Q&A community
- Documentation
- Social media presence
- Having a website
- Blogging
- Logos, branding & merch
- Featuring & amplifying community members using your project
I've had different experiences running open source projects, some easier to market than others, some with backing from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, others without support. My projects have seen millions of users, and dozens of contributors.

Hands-on Lab: Red Hat Container Development & OpenShift
In this hands-on lab, you'll learn how to create containerized applications and test them in a Red Hat OpenShift development cluster. You'll quickly develop a basic containerized application, break down an application into multiple containers, and then deploy these images to container host platforms. You’ll get a feel for the different container host platforms and learn how to choose the best one for your container needs. Finally, you’ll understand what to consider and what tools are available when implementing a containerized, microservices architecture.

How to Manage Open Source Product by Github Sr. PM
In this presentation, Billy Griffin, dives into how lessons from open source can help anyone become a better product manager, whether or not your code base is OSS.
Main takeaways:
- Are there more opportunities to learn when our mistakes are public?
- There’s an enormous community of people interested in working on open source software. How do you get them to work on your product?
- How do you prioritize issues that come in every day alongside the work you’ve already committed to?

Getting Started Contributing to Apache Spark – From PR, CR, JIRA, and Beyond
With the community working on preparing the next versions of Apache Spark you may be asking yourself ‘how do I get involved in contributing to this?’ With such a large volume of contributions, it can be hard to know how to begin contributing yourself. Holden Karau offers a developer-focused head start, walking you through how to find good issues, formatting code, finding reviewers, and what to expect in the code review process. In addition to looking at how to contribute code we explore some of the other ways you can contribute to to Apache Spark from helping test release candidates, to doing the all important code reviews, bug triage, and many more (like answering questions).
Building Reliability - The Realities of Observability
Presented at the ATO RTP Meetup
Presented by Jeremy Proffit, Director of DevSecOps & SRE for Customer Care and Communications, Ally
Title: Building Reliability - The Realities of Observability
Abstract: Join me as we discuss true observability, learn what works and what doesn't. We'll not only discuss dashboards, monitoring and alerting, but how these can be built by automation or included in your IAC modules. We'll talk about how to properly alert staff based on priority to keep your staff and yourself sane. And even discuss architecture and how it impacts reliably and why serverless isn't always the best at being reliable.
Modern Database Best Practices
Presented at the ATO RTP Meetup
Presented by Peter Zaitsev, Founder of Percona
Title: Modern Database Best Practices
Abstract: There are now more Database choices available for developers than ever before - there are general purpose databases and specialized databases, single node and distributed databases, Open Source, Proprietary databases and databases available exclusively in the cloud. In this presentation we will cover the best practices of choosing database(s) for your applications, best practices as it comes to application development as well as managing those databases to achieve best possible performance, security, availability at the lowest cost.

Open Source and Public Policy
All Things Open 2023
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Deb Bryant - Open Source Initiative, Patrick Masson - Apereo Foundation, Stephen Jacobs - Rochester Institute of Technology, Ruth Suehle - SAS, & Greg Wallace - FreeBSD Foundation
Title: Open Source and Public Policy
Abstract: New regulations in the software industry and adjacent areas such as AI, open science, open data, and open education are on the rise around the world. Cyber Security, societal impact of AI, data and privacy are paramount issues for legislators globally. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic drove collaborative development to unprecedented levels and took Open Source software, open research, open content and data from mainstream to main stage, creating tension between public benefit and citizen safety and security as legislators struggle to find a balance between open collaboration and protecting citizens.
Historically, the open source software community and foundations supporting its work have not engaged in policy discussions. Moving forward, thoughtful development of these important public policies whilst not harming our complex ecosystems requires an understanding of how our ecosystem operates. Ensuring stakeholders without historic benefit of representation in those discussions becomes paramount to that end.
Please join our open discussion with open policy stakeholders working constructively on current open policy topics. Our panelists will provide a view into how oss foundations and other open domain allies are now rising to this new challenge as well as seizing the opportunity to influence positive changes to the public’s benefit.
Topics: Public Policy, Open Science, Open Education, current legislation in the US and EU, US interest in OSS sustainability, intro to the Open Policy Alliance

Weaving Microservices into a Unified GraphQL Schema with graph-quilt - Ashpak...
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Ashpak Shaikh & Lucy Shen - Intuit
Title: Weaving Microservices into a Unified GraphQL Schema with graph-quilt
Abstract: The magic of GraphQL is that it provides data access through a single endpoint—clean and easy. But as the number of GraphQL microservices your tech stack depends on starts to grow, that single-endpoint purpose becomes a new multi-endpoint problem. Ideally, we would have an orchestrator that could aggregate schemas from multiple microservices into a unified GraphQL schema and route the requests to the appropriate microservice.
Enter graph-quilt, an open source Java library that provides recursive schema stitching and Apollo Federation style schema composition. In this talk, we’ll walk through our GraphQL journey and show you how to use graph-quilt to simplify your data orchestration needs. We will also share our open sourced reference implementation of a highly performant graph-quilt gateway currently being used in production here at Intuit, where we’ve had incredible success in scaling the gateway with 50+ microservices and 150+ clients.

Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScript
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Phil Nash - Sonar
Title: Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScript
Abstract: Regular expressions are complicated and can be hard to learn. On top of that, they can also be a security risk; writing the wrong pattern can open your application up to denial of service attacks. One token out of place and you invite in the dreaded ReDoS.
But how can a regular expression cause this? In this talk we’ll track down the patterns that can cause this trouble, explain why they are an issue and propose ways to fix them now and avoid them in the future. Together we’ll demystify these powerful search patterns and keep your application safe from expressions that behave in a way that is anything but regular.

Scaling Web Applications with Background
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Lydia Cupery - HubSpot
Title: Scaling Web Applications with Background Jobs: Takeaways from Generating a Huge PDF
Abstract: Do you need to perform time-consuming or CPU-intensive processes in your web application but are concerned about performance? That’s where background jobs come in. By offloading resource-intensive tasks to separate worker processes, you can improve the scalability of your web application.
In this talk, I'll share my experience of using background jobs to scale our web application. I'll discuss the challenges my team faced that led us to adopt background jobs. Then, I'll share practical tips on how to design background jobs for CPU-intensive or time-consuming processes, such as generating huge PDFs and batch emailing. I'll wrap up by going over the performance and cost tradeoffs of background jobs.
I'll use Typescript, Express, and Heroku as examples in this talk, but the concepts and best practices that I'll share are applicable to other languages and tools.

Supercharging tutorials with WebAssembly
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Robert Aboukhalil - CZI
Title: Supercharging tutorials with WebAssembly
Abstract: sandbox.bio is a free platform that features interactive command-line tutorials for bioinformatics. This talk is a deep-dive into how sandbox.bio was built, with a focus on how WebAssembly enabled bringing command-line tools like awk and grep to the web. Although these tools were originally written in C/C++, they all run directly in the browser, thanks to WebAssembly! And since the computations run on each user's computer, this makes the application highly scalable and cost-effective.
Along the way, I'll discuss how WebAssembly works and how to get started using it in your own applications. The talk will also cover more advanced WebAssembly features such as threads and SIMD, and will end with a discussion of WebAssembly's benefits and pitfalls (it's a powerful technology, but it's not always the right tool!).

Using SQL to Find Needles in Haystacks
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by K.S. Bhaskar - YottaDB LLC
Title: Using SQL to Find Needles in Haystacks
Abstract: Database journal files capture every update to a database. A database of a few hundred GB can generate GBs worth of journal files every minute at busy times. Troubleshooting and forensices, especially of rare and intermittent problems, such as which process made what update and when, is an exercise of finding needles in haystacks. A similar problem exists with syslogs. A solution is to load the journal files and syslogs into a database, and use SQL to query the database. Bhaskar will present and demonstrate this with a 100% FOSS stack.

Scaling an Open Source Sponsorship Program
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Carol Huang & Mike Fix - Stripe
Title: Scaling an Open Source Sponsorship Program
Abstract: We already know this: the open-source ecosystem needs further monetary investment from the companies that benefit most from it. Likewise, companies say they want to participate in these initiatives, but find it hard to dedicate resources to open source funding when there isn’t a clear ROI.
This talk discusses how the Open Source Program Office at Stripe built a scalable, sustainable open source sponsorship model that aligns internal company incentives with those of open source maintainers and the community at large. We go over the unique “platformization” of our OSPO that allowed us to create multiple funding models, such as BYOB (Bring Your Own Budget), and share lessons learned from this experience as well as other OSPOs.

Build Developer Experience Teams for Open Source
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Arundeep Nagaraj - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Title: Build Developer Experience Teams for Open Source
Abstract: Open Source has become the default strategy for many IT organizations and Enterprises. However, the constant challenge with Open Source leaders of these organizations has been -
How is my product's developer experience?
Is this the right metric to track?
How can I scale my team to support our products better?
How can I add automation to scale redundant workflows?
If my product involves working with developers, how can I scale to the complexity of the requests and reduce Engineering bandwidth?
The challenges within support of open source products continues to magnify depending on the end user persona whether they are consumers or contributors to your product. Consumers utilize your product, SDK's and API's and are blocked with using it or run into issues, whereas contributors are advanced users of your software that understands the codebase to provide a meaningful contribution back to the product.
The answer to the above is to look at Open Source support as a first-class citizen of your corporate support strategy. To employ the right level of developer focused support as opposed to traditional infrastructure based support is key to scale to the amount of developers using your product. Supporting customers in the open involves more than pure support - building customer / developer experiences (DX) in the open (across platforms and communities) that pivots over the ability of your product's users or developers to be focused on the end-to-end value add. This helps with your active developer growth and retention of users.
Key Takeaways:
- IT leaders of Open Source will learn to employ strategies to build a DX team that engages on multiple platforms
- Work on identifying accurate metrics for product and organization
- Innovate on platforms such as Discord to build a bot and a dashboard
- Ability to leverage customer feedback and iterate over the customer success flywheel
- Distinguish between DX and Developer Advocacy (DA)

Sudo – Giving access while staying in control
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Peter Czanik - One Identity
Title: Sudo – Giving access while staying in control
Abstract: Sudo is used by millions to control and log administrator access to systems, but using the default configuration only, there are plenty of blind spots. Using the latest features in sudo let you watch some previously blind spots and control access to them. Here are four major new features, which arrived since the 1.9.0 release, allowing you see your blind spots:
- configuring a working directory or chroot within sudo often makes full shell access redundant
- JSON-formatted logs give you more details on events and are easier to act on
- relays in sudo_logsrvd make session recording collection more secure and reliable
- you can log and control sub-commands executed by the command run through sudo
Let us take a closer look at each of these.
Previously, there were quite a few situations where you had to give users full shell access through sudo. Typical examples include when you need to run a command from a given directory, or running commands in a chroot environment. You can now configure the working directory or the chroot directory and give access only to the command the user really needs.
Logging is a central role of sudo, to see who did what on the system. Using JSON-formatted log messages gives you even more information about events. What is even more: structured logs are easier to act on. Setting up alerting for suspicious events is much easier when you have a single parser to configure for any kind of sudo logs. You can collect sudo logs not only by local syslog, but also by using sudo_logsrvd, the same application used to collect session recordings.
Speaking of session recordings: instead of using a single central server, you can now have multiple levels of sudo_logsrvd relays between the client and the final destination. This allows session collection even if the central server is unavailable, providing you with additional security. It also makes your network configuration simpler.
Finally, you can log sub-commands executed from the command started through sudo. You can see commands started from a shell. No more unnoticed shell access from text editors. Best of all: you can also intercept sub-commands.
These are just a few of the most prominent features helping you to watch and control previous blind spots on your systems. See these and other possibilities in action in some live demos during our presentation.

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.
