The future of operating systems - Avishai Ish-Shalom

Linux distros and Windows NT both date back to 1993 and the principles of the operating systems we use today are rooted in that era. The way we use O/S and software has changed dramatically since, and the role of O/S has shifted considerably, giving birth to many tools trying to bridge the gap. This talk will cover the evolution of O/S in recent years and emerging trends which may prevail in the near future.

BONUS SESSION

Following Avishai's session, Ilya Sher of Fewbytes will segue into a short talk about "The Future of Shell Scripts"

Unix shells remain the main interactive tool for many of us. Unfortunately they don't keep up with reality. They haven't changed much in a long time. Look at IDEs. Look at your shell again. Think of a 20 year old PC. Think of the cloud you are probably using. This talk will discuss the vision about the future of shells and expected difficulties while getting there.
