You instrumented your metrics and now you are vendor locked? So were we! Come to this talk to hear our observability story of freedom. We will share with you cautionary tales of the lessons we learned along the way and the anti-patterns we discovered.

Codebases, regardless of location, face security threats. The Okta 2022 breach underscores this risk. Developers are advised to adopt a shift-left approach, tackling code flaws before public release.
"The Open Source Fortress" offers a framework for using open-source tools to identify vulnerabilities in codebases. The emphasis is on static techniques like symbolic execution, secret scanning, code querying, and dependency scanning, as well as dynamic techniques such as fuzzing.

Infusing standards and best practices into open source is a challenge. At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory we created Software Lifecycle Improvement & Modernization (SLIM) to address this challenge. SLIM shares best practices with the broader government-affiliated open-source community and provides actionable templates and guidelines as open source code. This talk highlights SLIM's unique model as well as specific example standards for DevSecOps and "shift left" best practices. Join us to explore merging open-source methods with software standards development.

Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) are popping up everywhere, not just in corporations but now in universities, research insititutions, NGOs, public government, and international organizations. In this panel hear from OSPO leaders who are beginning their journey, from ones who are some years into it, and others who have been through this once or thrice.

Just because Kubernetes is cloud native doesn’t mean you can’t run it on-prem, but why is it so hard in 2024? There are lots of options but all of them have trade-offs. Justin has been building on-prem clusters for 8 years and will help you figure out if you need a project or a product, CAPI or PXE, and cloud-init or config management.
Declarative partitioning is now available in all supported versions of PostgreSQL. As with all major features in PostgreSQL it started off with basic capabilities and has been slowly advancing on those to become a well supported part of the architecture. However, there are still some significant hurdles to overcome. This talk will review where partitioning as been, where it's at now, and where it still has to go.

GLIBC has been a boon to Linux but comes with a toll when attempting to cross-compile code for embedded Linux systems. In this talk, we’ll explore the idea of cross-compiling and why it is important in embedded systems. We’ll then introduce problems caused by GLIBC when cross-compiling, and why these problems arise. Finally, we’ll cover several different techniques we can use when cross-compiling for embedded Linux to mitigate or avoid these issues. This talk is intended for users who have some experience with embedded Linux and embedded C/C++ development.
