Talk 1: Deploying large datacenter networks with Go

Deploying servers with PXE network booting traditionally involved struggling with several different daemons and management tools. In this talk, Aaron Lehmann will discuss NodePrime Directive, a Go program that combines PXE services, IPMI management tools, and more into a single easy-to-use application.

This talk will discuss how Go helped integrate several services into one cohesive program. It will also dive into some of the unconventional networking tasks involved, such as broadcasting, multicasting, and ICMP scanning, and how those were accomplished in Go.

About the Speaker

Aaron Lehmann is NodePrime's Lead Software Engineer.He previously worked on high-performance email, SMS/MMS, and DNS security software.

Talk 2: HTTP/2 for Profit (and Fun, Too)

Though the RFC is awaiting IETF approval, HTTP/2 is already here. Chrome and Firefox have shipped support for the protocol, over 5% of web traffic is already using it, and you can use it for your backend services today. But while HTTP/2 promises big improvements to web performance, only some of that comes for free.

This talk will discuss the performance optimizations that HTTP/2 provides out-of-the-box, and how you can take full advantage of the protocol for customer-facing or internal services. Some of these optimizations will depend on software that hasn't been written or even imagined yet. I'm hopeful that this talk will inspire you to unleash HTTP/2's potential in creative ways.

Talk 3: Going Global with i18n4go

The Go programming language is increasingly becoming the language of choice for various Cloud-based software. At present, Go has very little built-in tooling for helping with internationalization (i18n).

This talk with detail how a small team of IBM and Pivotal engineers was able to convert the Cloud Foundry CLI (~20K lines of Golang with more than 5000 strings) for i18n with just over one month's worth of effort.

In the process, they have extracted a tool, written in Golang and called i18n4go, which is can be used by anyone to achieve the same thing.

The tool is OSS under the Apache 2.0 license. Find it here: http://github.com/maximilien/i18n4go
