Will Git Be Around Forever? A List of Possible Successors

In 2010, only Linux kernel committers and other early adopters used Git. Almost everyone else used Subversion. Ten years later, Git is the most popular product. Which makes me wonder: what will we use another ten years from now? And what would YOU want from your version control software in 2030? More speed? Better collaboration support? No merge conflicts ever? In this talk I'll discuss a few post-Git products, including Fossil, Plastic and Pijul, and their support for the features we so dearly desire. I'll also try to predict which one will be 'the top dog' in 2030. So attend this session if you're excited about the future of version control and if you want to have a shot at beating even (!) the early adopters. Now if it turns out I was right, remember that you heard it here first. 😀

How and Why to Upgrade to Java 17

Java upgrades are sometimes seen as difficult and many applications are still running on an older version of Java. This session describes Java's current six months release process and why applications should use a recent Java version. After that, I'll explain the challenges of upgrading and provide some useful tips to make the process easier. Concrete examples (including solutions) will be used to show you how to upgrade your application to Java 16 or 17.
