Details
This is the first meetup of the newly renamed “Linux Technologies Berlin meetup”. Previously the “systemd Berlin meetup”, we’ll now be covering a wider range of Linux technologies. But don’t fret, this is still the place to be for talks about systemd and its related technologies.
We’re happy to present Tom Gundersen (github: teg (https://github.com/teg)) and David Herrmann (@dvdhrm (https://github.com/dvdhrm)), software engineers at Red Hat (https://www.redhat.com/en) and Lili Cosic (@lilicosic (https://twitter.com/lilicosic?lang=en)), software engineer at Kinvolk (https://kinvolk.io/).
Lili will be talking about building and running applications with Flatpak and Tom and David will talk about a DBus and bus1.
Snacks & drinks will be provided.

SCHEDULE:
[18:30- 19:00] Arrive and mingle
[19:00 - 19:35] Lili Cosic, “Building and running applications with Flatpak”
[19:45 - 20:20] Tom Gundersen and David Herrmann, “IPC on Linux - DBus and bus1”
[20:20 - 21:00] Mingle time
---------------------------------------------
TALK DETAILS:
“Building and running applications with Flatpak”, Lili Cosic
Abstract: Flatpak is the new way of packaging and running applications that is compatible across different Linux distributions. In this talk we will explore Flatpak’s internal sandboxing mechanisms and see how painless it is to install and run applications. Furthermore we will walk through all the components needed to package an application.
“IPC on Linux - DBus and bus1”, Tom Gundersen and David Herrmann
Abstract: David and Tom will give an overview of the challenges faced and the problems solved by IPC in general, and by DBus and bus1 in particular. They will explore the problems DBus is attempting to solve, how it is used in practice, the shortcoming it has and how they imagine it evolving in the future.

SPEAKER BIO:
Tom Gundersen, Software Engineer at Red Hat - Tom works on the plumbing layer. He started the networkd project within systemd, and works on device management, network configuration and more recently IPC, both in userspace and the kernel.
David Herrmann, Software Engineer at Red Hat - David works on the linux kernel and surrounding userland. In the past he has worked on the HID, Bluetooth, and DRM subsystems, as well as on replacing the ancient VT layer of the kernel. Today he spends most of his time hacking on IPC systems and modernizing DBus transports with projects like kdbus and bus1.
