Topic: Security

Just as a well-coordinated football defense protects a team from scoring, a robust application security strategy safeguards digital assets from cyberattacks. Football teams have the ultimate defense in depth strategy that can be studied to build a stronger application security program. By understanding the parallels between maintaining secure code and football defense, developers can continue to create and maintain secure open source software. No prior knowledge about football or application security is required.

Topic: Cloud Native

These days we all spend a lot of time developing for Kubernetes.  Wouldn't it be great if you could develop and test your containerized application from an easy-to-use desktop application, and not need to touch Kubernetes clusters until you're ready for staging?  With Podman Desktop, you can!

Remember how hard we all faught to keep DevOps from becoming a title?  Not only did we fail we saw a host of new titles like DevSecOps,  SRE and PE burst onto the scene.  Are these all synonymous?  Are they distinct roles?  Have seen the end of this cambrian explosion?  Come join me as we untangle the mess and consider how we get things back on track.

Topic: FOSS @ HOME

Using someone else's cloud to sync photos, calendars and contacts? Proprietary services like iCloud are convenient, but only if you are in the Apple ecosystem. You can get many of the same basic cloud features in a self-hosted Nextcloud instance and sync files, calendars, and contacts on Linux, Mac and mobile devices. This talk discusses how to set up Nextcloud and configure Linux and Mac desktops and iOS mobile devices to use it, especially convenient if your household isn't 100% Linux (or 100% Mac).

Topic: General

This talk will present the RamaLama AI tool.  It will demonstrate it and explain all of its many features.

Solomon Hykes
Topic: Keynote

Everyone’s talking about AI writing code. But what about AI shipping code? How will LLMs change how we build, test and deploy software? Will Devops as we know it continue to exist? Will our favorite tools become obsolete, or endure? And hat about us, the platform builders? Is this our golden age, or the beginning of the end? In this talk, Solomon Hykes, creator of Docker and co-founder of Dagger.io, takes us on a journey through time, as we retrace the history of software’s industrial revolution, and explore the ramifications of the AI revolution for our community.
