Poznan Open Source Meetup #11

Save the date! Poznan Open Source Meetup is back!

It's already the 11th edition of Poznan Open Source Meetup! Join us on November 28th and get ready for an evening full of open source technology. We’ve prepared two technical talks followed by Q&A sessions and an afterparty till late.

Agenda:

1. Overview of build systems used in open source projects; Kamil Rakoczy, Antmicro

The more a software project grows, the harder it gets to keep it well-organised. Software is often split across a multitude of source files and header files with a certain hierarchy and relationship that needs to be preserved and transparent. At some point, it can get near impossible to keep track of all these files, the targets to which they can be compiled as well as their required flags and attributes by hand.
Build systems solve this problem by providing a way to easily define relationships and configurations needed for complex projects.
In this talk we’ll take you on a journey through the history of build systems, show you how it all started and what problems newer build systems were promising to solve.
We’ll show examples of open source projects that use various build systems as well as help you choose the best build system for your next open source project.

2. USB – The One Port to Rule Them All; Tomasz Baciak, Antmicro

This presentation provides an overview of the USB-C standard. It focuses on design challenges introduced by USB standard updates – increasing data rate, orientation switching, dual-role ports, USB Power Delivery, alternative interface modes, Thunderbolt compatibility. The presentation shows selected solutions and their implementations in Antmicro’s Open Source Hardware designs.
