Karen Yuen
Audience: Everyone

My talk will provide a personal account of how I was asked to step into the Open science world and learning on the job, opened my eyes to how segragated and fearful we can become to change. I will provide an overview on Open science at NASA and at the federal level. I will also talk about the benefits and impact of open science to the research and academic world. I will talk about the NASA TOPS mission and how my introduction into being certified as a Carpentries instructor provided a new road map to how I would approach my work as well as how I would work with others in the future.

The "General Transit Feed Specification" (GTFS) is one of the greatest open data standard success stories you can find in the US. In 2005, Google collaborated with Portland's TriMet to define an easily maintainable and consumable transit data format. The resulting spec is now ubiquitous - it is published by every major transit agency in the US and consumed by every major trip planning app (Google Maps, Transit App, Moovit, etc.).

This session will cover what GTFS is, how you access it, how to use it, and how you can contribute to it as it continues to grow.

Topic: NixCon

Docker is everywhere, but Nix is not. Nix lets you build Docker images that are easier to deploy than images made with the normal Docker build flow. Want to learn how to make images with a 100% build efficiency and turn your application deployments from pushing many layers at a time to only pushing what actually changed? You can do it with Nix.

Ron Efroni

Wish your old phone was a normal Linux computer, able to run the same software as your laptop, rather than a boring Android? Want to build and deploy Windows and macOS VMs with a single function call? Ever wanted to experiment with cutting-edge AI models without messing up your system? And by the way, defining an embedded system is just a few lines of Nix.

This talk will showcase the limitless possibilities that await those brave enough to embrace the world of reproducible computing with NixOS.

Many open source projects are grappling with a crucial issue: finding future contributors and maintainers.
 
This talk explores the hurdles and solutions in bridging academia and open source. We discuss what mental barriers students face when it comes to coding and contributing to open source, how to craft mentorship resources, and what resources projects need to build lasting relationships with students.
