Speakers, Technical Stream:
“The Cloud Revolution and OpenStack” by Graeme Gillies, Principal Systems Administrator. This presentation will cover a bit about the background of the "cloud revolution", what it meant for software development companies, and a brief overview of the Openstack project and IAAS.
“Securing open source” by Trevor Jay, Software Engineer. Software security in a post-Heartbleed, post-Shellshock world, with the world watching.
"Cloud Computing, OpenShift, and Public Conveniences" by Katie Miller, OpenShift Developer AdvocateThis presentation will introduce Red Hat's open-source cloud application platform, OpenShift. The session will include background material on Platform as a Service and a demonstration of how to deploy a simple mapping app to OpenShift Online.
“Parametricity, or Theorems for Free” by Fraser Tweedale, Software Engineer. Say more by saying less. Learn how parametric types, when used with a sufficiently strong type system, help the programmer comprehend code by invalidating candidate programs. Parametricity helps the programmer by enabling deduction of theories about what a program cannot do, sometimes to the point of leaving no ambiguity.
“Designing in the Open”by Luke Brooker, Software Engineer. We have learnt how to develop in the open but what about designing? Learn how we are adapting the design of our open source project to become more open and collaborative.
