Git is a tool used by millions every day and a core part of any software development workflow. But how does it really work? How does Git actually transfer data to the server? How does it track changes and stores all the data and versions?
In this talk, we’ll take you on a journey through Git’s internals and protocols, sharing what we’ve learned about how Git transfers data over HTTPS, optimizes for storage and speed, and what it’s like to manage a Git server yourself.
UpSCALE is a set of lightening talks held at SCALE, in the style of Ignite presentations. Speakers will get 5 minutes to enlighten the audience. Slides will auto-advance while chosen speakers deliver their message, a brief story of open source deliciousness. The format makes for a fast paced, fun event for participants and audience. Please join us as members of the Free and Open Source community do their best to beat the clock and get their ideas out! Want to be an UpSCaLE speaker? Email your proposal to hannah@socallinuxexpo.org.
Adrianna Frick, head of Credentialing and Curriculum for Canonical, will discuss the importance of technical certification to the open source community, while providing information on how technical certification programs are developed. Learn how to spot the difference between certificates, certifications, and skill builders, understand the characteristics of a reputable program, and learn how to create your personal path to success.
We've all probably encountered the following scenario at least once. We start pulling a container, and have to wait a solid 4–5 minutes... Why? Oh, our colleague decided to put all the development and building tools inside the container, making it >5 GB in size. Let me show you a way to construct images that prevent this from happening, and maybe teach you a thing or 2 about Nix in the process.
VALKEY is a superfast in-memory distributed database with clustering, redundancy, and low latency. If you need a cache, then you need to look at VALKEY. The VALKEY project started when REDIS changed from an open-source license to extort money from its community. VALKEY is a much-improved fork of REDIS, and the Linux Foundation supports the project. This session briefly covers the fork's 'why,' explores some exciting new features, and shows you how to start with VALKEY.
Matt and Reza will welcome you to the Kwaai Summit and introduce you to Peronsal AI
From phones to TVs to wireless routers, our lives are increasingly defined by how device makers design the devices on which we rely. But who do these devices really serve? And why can't we fix them so they serve us instead?
KiCad has been one of those workhorse tools used by those in the know, but perhaps scary and intimidating for those who haven't tried it (and maybe some who have). It is described as "A Cross Platform and Open Source Electronics Design Automation Suite", but what exactly does that mean, and how can it help you? This session will present my trials and tribulations attempting to use it to initially to track an arduino project through to ending up with industry manufactured boards and custom 3d printed housings. Failures surely will abound so that you can learn through the pain of others.
As an anthropologist in Meta’s Infrastructure, my job is to integrate culture to applied systems analysis and to design and conduct interventions to effect positive change. This talk explores how we used anthropological research to help Meta shift from “Move Fast and Break Things” to “Move Fast with Stable Infrastructure.” I present 2 interventions where we used culture and behavioral “nudges” to drive change from the bottom up and top down. The aim is to provide actionable guidance on how engineering orgs can adopt social sciences as they scale.
