** Griode, a music instrument written in Python
Crafting a music instrument used to be a delicate art requiring thousands of hours of meticulous work. Not anymore! We will present Griode (https://github.com/jpetazzo/griode), an open source project written in Python that uses the Novation LaunchPad (a popular MIDI controller) and some open source components, libraries, and sound samples, to create a custom instrument that everyone can play, even if they don't know neither music, nor Python.
*** About the speaker
Jérôme was part of the team that built, scaled, and operated the dotCloud PAAS, before it became Docker. He worked seven years at the famous container company, wearing various hats. When he's not glued to a computer screen, he collects musical instruments. He can passably murder the theme of Zelda on a dozen of them.

** Practical introduction to Dodo Commands
Dodo Commands is a tool that helps you to automate your local development environment.
It allows you to create projects that each have a set of Python command scripts (*) and a set of configuration files.

In this talk I will do a live demo of automating a task with Dodo Commands. Specifically, I will show how to:

• add a new command script
• use the project configuration in a script
• customize a command by enabling configuration layers
• share scripts and configurations with the rest of the team
• run command scripts in docker

If there is enough time, I will also go into some of the design choices I made in order to implement these features.
(*) In theory, other languages can also be supported.

** Lightning Talks
A lightning talk is a presentation shorter than 10 minutes.
Keep it brief and concise with a lot of slides and code.
