    <title>Free. Open. Future?</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Keynotes</track>
    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>Freedom, openness and participation have become a pervasive part of digital \r
life. 250 million people use Firefox. Wikipedia reaches people in 260 languages. \r
Whole countries have Linux in their schools. Flickr hosts millions of openly \r
licenses photos. Apache underpins the Internet. We have moved mountains.</abstract>
    <description>At the same time, the terrain has shifted. Our digital world has moved into the \r
cloud. And, our window into this world is just as often unhackable phones in our \r
pocket as it is flexible computers on our desktop. Hundreds of millions of \r
people take being digital for granted, and rarely stop to think what it means. \r
The world where free and open source software were born is not the same as the \r
world they have helped to build.\r
\r
It's time to ask: what do freedom, openness and participation look like 10 years \r
from now? How do we promote these values into the future? Building the open web \r
and hackability into the world of mobile is part of the answer. Promoting privacy, \r
portability and user control in the cloud are also critical. But what else? Mark \r
Surman will reflect on these questions and chat with the FOSDEM crowd.</description>

    <title>Scala - A Scalable Language</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Development and Languages</track>
    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>In this talk I'll describe the design principles of the Scala\r
programming language, which has scalability as its primary design\r
objective.</abstract>
    <description>Today's software landscape resembles increasingly a tower of Babel:\r
Systems are built using many different languages, combining\r
server-side and client-side languages, scripting and systems\r
programming languages, general and domain specific languages, all\r
glued together with a hefty amount of XML.  The advantage of this\r
approach is that each individual language can be tailored to a\r
specific application domain.  Its disadvantage is that the necessary\r
amount of cross-language glue can make applications cumbersome to\r
write, deploy, and maintain.\r
\r
An alternative is offered by scalable languages, which can be used for\r
many different applications, ranging from small scripts to very large\r
systems. An important aspect of a scalable language is that it itself\r
is extensible and malleable. It should be possible to define very\r
high-level libraries in it, which act in effect as specialized domain\r
specific languages.  The advantages of this approach is that it leads\r
to more regular system designs, gives better static checking, makes\r
applications easier to deploy, and increases their reliability.\r
\r
In this talk I'll describe the design principles of the Scala\r
programming language, which has scalability as its primary design\r
objective.  Scala combines lightweight syntax with strong static\r
checking on a Java-compatible platform. It encourages the embedding of\r
domain-specific languages as high-level libraries. I discuss how Scala\r
affects systems design and discuss its suitability for large scale\r
industrial deployment.</description>

    <abstract>The Board of Directors of the Open Source Initiative (OSI) will cover recent activities of the organization in this presentation, talk about the adoption of open source throughout the whole world and discuss the future direction of the OSI, such as the introduction of a membership program.</abstract>
    <description>The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is the steward of the Open Source Definition (OSD) and is the community-recognized body for reviewing and approving licenses as OSD-conformant.\r
\r
The OSI is actively involved in Open Source community-building and education. OSI Board members frequently travel the world to attend Open Source conferences and events, meet with open source developers and users, and to discuss with executives from the public and private sectors about how Open Source technologies, licenses, and models of development can provide economic and strategic advantages.</description>

    <title>The Linux Defenders: Stop the Trolls, Protect Linux, Further Innovation</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>Open Invention Network (OIN), a collaborative enterprise that enables open source innovation and an increasingly vibrant ecosystem around Linux, has unveiled the Linux Defenders program, which is designed to make prior art more readily accessible to patent and trademark office examiners, increase the quality of granted patents and reduce the number of poor quality patents.  \r
\r
 \r
\r
Keith Bergelt will talk about how the open source community is leading the charge in market-based patent reform. Its Linux Defenders program offers the Linux and broader open source community a unique opportunity to harness its collaborative passion, intelligence, and ingenuity to ensure Linux’s natural migration to mobile devices and computing. He will also detail how this landmark program will benefit open source innovation by significantly reducing the number of poor quality patents that might otherwise be used by patent trolls or strategics whose behaviors and business models are antithetical to true innovation and are thus threatened by Linux.\r
\r
 \r
\r
The Linux Defenders website is located at http://www.linuxdefenders.org.</abstract>
    <description>Co-sponsored by the Software Freedom Law Center and the Linux Foundation, Linux Defenders is a first-of-its-kind program which aims to reduce future intellectual property concerns about meritless patents for the Linux and open source community.  The program is designed to accomplish this by soliciting prior art to enable the rejection of poor quality patent applications; soliciting prior art to enable the invalidation of poor quality issued patents; and soliciting high quality inventions that can be prepared as patent applications or defensive publications.</description>

    <title>SmallMail, or how to keep your email private in an era of Data Retention</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>When the European data retention directive becomes law in all member nations governments will store who's e-mailing whom and who's phoning whom. This is bad news for citizens and has a devastating effect journalists and bloggers who need to protect their sources, especially whistleblowers. \r
\r
The Small Sister Project created a tool, SmallMail. It adds anonimity to e-mail even when data retention is in effect. So SmallMail delivers e-mail privacy as it was meant to be: you decide what happens with your data.  When needed and allowed people can deliver a message totally anonymous.\r
\r
The talk highlights the tools and then deals with the technical details of getting from A to B. Privacy and anonymity are complicated, but the tool is not. We build on the strong foundation laid by the Tor Project. The SmallMail engine is technically interesting, but quite easy to understand. In 15 minutes you can learn how simplicity and free software solve the problems posed by complex systems.</abstract>
    <description>The Small Sister Project tries to create a digital environment for all users to have a privacy-friendly system where personal data is properly secured\r
\r
So we try to create:\r
    * A toolkit that is very simple to install and acts like a flushot for a computer to add privacy/security\r
    * Sufficient information for people to empower themselves to secure systems and are aware of privacy-issues\r
    * Software that is the missing glue for what already exists and helps us reach our goals</description>

    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>The talk will show the main results of the FLOSSMetrics project. In particular, it will show how to obtain data about the history of software development of more than 2,000 FLOSS projects, which kind of data it is and how it can  be used, and some results of using it in a research environment.</abstract>
    <description>FLOSSMetrics is collecting data from the CVS/SVN repos, mailing lists and issue tracking systems of several thousands of FOSS projects, and collecting all of it into a database that is offerered to researchers and others for data mining. See http://melquiades.flossmetrics.org for the data currently been offered. The project will end in August 2009, and more data and more projects are expected in the meantime.</description>

    <abstract>This talk will give a quick introduction to Bazaar, the friendly distributed version control system. It will highlight the benefits of using distributed version control over a centralized approach and what features make Bazaar a perfect match for this kind of collaboration.</abstract>
    <description>Bazaar is a distributed version control system that Just Works. While many similar systems require you to adapt to their model of working, Bazaar adapts to the workflows you want to use, and it takes only five minutes to try it out. People have used it to version pretty much anything: single-file projects, your /etc directory and even the thousands of files and revisions in the source code for Launchpad, MySQL and Mailman.</description>

    <title>Building custom OpenSolaris distributions with the  distro constuctor</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>The presentation will give an overview about building your own customized OpenSolaris distribution. The presentation will discuss the new distro constructor being released with OpenSolaris 11.2008 and demonstrate on how to use it.</abstract>
    <description>The Distribution Constructor project is building a set of GUI and command-line tools allowing users to build an install image from a package repository. The distribution constructor tools accept input from the user and process a set of repository packages into one or more media images which can be utilized to install an OpenSolaris distribution.\r
\r
The Distribution Constructor package is available in the pkg.opensolaris.org repository as of build 99, its name is SUNWdistro-const. Some basic documentation is available. The OpenSolaris 2008.11 distribution is built using this tool beginning with the build 98 ISO images.\r
\r
A future phase of the project will add the ability to generate an installable distribution using an existing installed system as its input, rather than a set of packages in a repository. This would be either an enhancement to, or replacement for, the existing Flash Installation functionality.\r
Key Requirements and Functionality (2008.11 Release)\r
\r
    * A command-line interface to run the construction process\r
    * A manifest file format consumed by the constructor\r
    * Modifications to the Target Instantiation module built in Dwarf Caiman and Slim Install to create the file system structure needed for building thedistribution\r
    * Modifications to the Transfer module to support installing a set of IPS packages\r
    * A plug-in interface that the user or other projects can use to perform their image-specific customizations\r
    * Checkpointing interfaces which allow a build to be debugged, and restarted\r
    * A module for constructing a boot archive usable on installable media\r
    * Support for localization of the image produced\r
    * An installable package containing the distro constructor</description>

    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>Overview of Marionnet, advantages towards different solutions, how it proved to be a necessary tool, how teaching networking has become less painful.</abstract>
    <description>Marionnet is a virtual network laboratory: it allows users to define, configure and run complex computer networks without any need for physical setup. Only a single, possibly even non-networked GNU/Linux host machine is required to simulate a whole Ethernet network complete with computers, routers, hubs, switches, cables, and more.\r
Support is also provided for integrating the virtual network with the physical host network.\r
\r
As Marionnet is meant to be used also by inexperienced people, it features a very intuitive graphical user interface. Marionnet is written in the mostly functional language OCaml and depends on User Mode Linux and VDE for the simulation part.</description>

    <description>"Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment", is an extremely faster,\r
performing and energy saving desktop environment started by Taiwanese\r
hacker Hong Jen Yee aka PCMAN in 2005. Today it is maintained by an international\r
community of developers. It comes with a beautiful interface,\r
multi-language support, standard keyboard short cuts and additional\r
features like tabbed file browsing. LXDE uses less CPU and less RAM.\r
It is especially designed for computers with low hardware\r
specifications like netbooks, mobile internet devices (MIDs) or older\r
computers. LXDE can be installed with distributions like Ubuntu or\r
Debian. Applications running on these systems will run with LXDE. The\r
source code of LXDE is licensed partly under the terms of the General\r
Public License and partly under the LGPL. LXDE has recently been\r
included as a standard desktop in Fedora and Mandriva and will also be\r
offered in the upcoming Debian release.</description>

    <title>Quick start into mobile development for desktop developers</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>There is still a void for open source developers having their own platform for mobile development. The current choice is between Google, Nokia and Intel. Hackable1 intends to close this gap and offers desktop developers a quick start in minutes. No longer "fighting" with scratchbox or Openembedded: mobile development like on your desktop and with similar speed. If you have been developing for the desktop you will feel at home in no time. Hackable1 is based on Debian thus brings the power of 1500 DDs with it. It implements the GNOME Mobile stack and comes with a basic suite of phone applications: a dialer, a SMS and contacts application.\r
\r
Mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous and hackable1 is intended to bridge from desktop development to embedded development. It is an area where Open Source has a chance to be from the start ahead of the closed source competitors. We just need to do it!</abstract>
    <description>hackable:1 is a Debian based community distribution for hackable devices implementing the GNOME Mobile stack. Currently it runs on the Neo Freerunner from Openmoko but other devices will be supported soon too.\r
\r
As I have been developing myself on and for mobile platforms for several years now the main goal was to bring mobile development to all open source developers in minutes: mobile devices are the next "revolution" in computing and we should not leave the field to Google and Co.\r
\r
Hackable:1 comes with the full development environment, can be installed in minutes and provides an environment like on your desktop and allows for similar speeds.\r
\r
Bearstech (the french distributor of the openmoko phones) supports the development but a key point is community involvement - no decisions behind closed doors, everything is done in public on IRC and mailing lists.</description>

    <title>An Introduction to BUG</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>This lightning talk will cover the basics of the BUG platform and show a brief working demo.  We will show aspects of the Linux OS running and focus on the OSGi service layer and how Java applications can easily be written to work with custom hardware devices.</abstract>
    <description>BUG is an open source hardware and software gadget creation platform.  There are no proprietary or closed software components running on the BUG CPU.  New devices can be created by snapping a variety of hardware modules (camera, motion sensor, GPS, LCD Touchscreen, WiFi, 3g, etc.) onto a small Linux base computer to make things like GPS enabled motion detectors, alarms, crowdsourced input devices, and wireless weather stations.  The hardware schematics for the device are GPL and the computer runs Linux, FOSS Java, and OSGi to enable a dynamic service runtime.  \r
An SDK is available that's based on Eclipse and we have a application collaboration website based on Ruby on Rails.</description>

    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>In this talk, we will first introduce Gemvid, a system that allows the monitoring of animals in their own environment for an extended period of time. Then, we'll show how we demonstrated the sensitivity, reproducibility and stability of the system. Finally, we'll highlight some issues and interesting points for the future of Gemvid.</abstract>
    <description>Gemvid is a monitoring system that quantifies overall free movements of rodents without any markers, using a commercially available CCTV and a motion detection software developed on a GNU/Linux-operating computer. The application is based on software modules that allow the system to be used in a high-throughput workflow.</description>

    <abstract>Most embedded routers and similar devices have traditionally limited themselves to a very static system, typically providing the web interface as the only means of doing any configuration.\r
\r
OpenWrt intends to solve this problem in a generic way by providing a structured, extensible and modular configuration system, which does not limit itself to being the backend of a web interface.</abstract>

    <abstract>Pieter presents [[http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt Wt], an open source web toolkit that brings state-of-the-art cross-browser, AJAX-enabled web application development to C++ programmers who have little or no experience in web technologies.</abstract>
    <description>A web interface to an embedded system provides many benefits, such as remote control without software installation, and comfortable device operation and configuration without the constraints and the cost of an awkward user interface due to limited space on the device itself.\r
\r
\r
At the same time, web interfaces are becoming the preferred choice for application development of various types, driven by rapid advances in web browser technology, (wireless) network availability, and low deployment costs.\r
\r
[http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt Wt] is an open source web toolkit that brings state-of-the-art cross-browser, AJAX-enabled web application development to C++ programmers who have little or no experience in web technologies. We present some of its features and show how it resembles typical desktop GUI toolkits from a programmer point of view. Because of its high performance, it is popular for large deployments on Internet and intranet servers down to small deployments on embedded systems. We discuss its suitability for embedded systems compared to alternative approaches, and demonstrate some capabilities using a 200MHz ARM device.</description>

    <abstract>Every uA is sacred: A dynamic voltage and current regulator interface for the Linux kernel</abstract>
    <description>The Linux kernel voltage and current regulator subsystem is designed to provide a standard kernel interface to device drivers and board level code in order to control system voltage and current regulators. The subsystem is designed to allow systems to dynamically control their regulator power output in order to save system power and prolong battery life. \r
\r
This talk will describe the regulator subsystem and discuss how the subsystem can be used to reduce dynamic and static system power consumption.</description>

    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>PTXdist is a "make your own distribution" build system, based on Bash, Kconfig and GNU Make.</abstract>
    <description>Dealing with embedded systems is a complicated thing: you have to take care of toolchains, cross compiling and, in industrial projects, most of all: reproducability and testability.\r
\r
PTXdist is a "make your own distribution" build system, based on Bash, Kconfig and GNU Make. Making a root filesystem for a target box can be as easy as 'ptxdist go', but the focus is on "executable documentation", not distribution. We care about upstream of the managed softare, separate our patches and try to be part of the world domination project by finding bugs in other people's open source software.</description>

    <abstract>Graphics drivers under Linux have seen the most significant changes since X was first ported in the last year. The X server can now run as an unprivileged process; kernel panic messages can be displayed while graphics are active; graphics applications can use virtual memory to store GPU data.</abstract>
    <description>In the kernel, these changes include the new Graphics Execution Manager (GEM) and kernel-based video mode setting (KMS). Beyond the kernel, the second version of the Direct Rendering Interface X extension (DRI2) unifies the X and OpenGL image storage space.\r
\r
This talk will describe the kernel and user-space changes along with the other kernel changes necessary to support the new code. Finally, the audience will be encouraged to participate in a discussion about future plans in this area.</description>

    <abstract>[http://augeas.net/ Augeas] is a configuration editing tool. It parses configuration files in their native formats and transforms them into a tree. Configuration changes are made by manipulating this tree and saving it back into native config files.</abstract>
    <description>One of the many things that makes Linux configuration management the minefield we all love is the lack of a local configuration API. The main culprit for this situation, that configuration data is generally stored in text files in a wide variety of formats, is both an important part of the Linux culture and valuable when humans need to make configuration changes manually. AUGEAS provides a local configuration API that presents configuration data as a tree. The tree is backed directly by the various config files as they exist today; modifications to the tree correspond directly to changes in the      underlying files.\r
\r
AUGEAS takes great care to preserve comments and other formatting details across editing operations. The transformation from files into the tree and back is controlled by a description of the file's format, consisting of regular expressions and instructions on how to map matches into the tree. AUGEAS currently can be used through a command line tool, the C API, and from Ruby, Python, and OCaml. It also comes with descriptions for a good number of common Linux config files that can be edited "out-of-the-box."</description>

    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>openSUSE</track>
    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>The Cross Development in OBS feature is now integrated into normal OBS development. It allows you to build, test, run applications for other processor architectures using a combination of emulators and crossbuild.</abstract>
    <description>Emulators are already a normal part of OBS. An analysis has been made of the different ways to implement Cross Build to result in better interoperability with existing linux distributions for other architectures. The goal was to implement Cross Development as an orthogonal feature, and to glueless implement openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu for embedded architektures like ARM, sh4, mips in the same way as is done already by OBS for x86 and powerpc architectures.</description>

    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>SUSE Studio is a new web application to build openSUSE based appliances. It provides an easy to use interface to quickly create images for live CDs, \r
bootable USB sticks and VMware. It's also possible to conveniently customize software selection, configuration and theming of the appliances. Third party software may be integrated through coupling with the openSUSE Build Service.</abstract>
    <description>Studio's testdrive feature allows users to run the appliance via the web interface for testing and further configuration.\r
\r
We will present the concepts behind SUSE Studio and demonstrate how to easily create a customized openSUSE version in five minutes.</description>

    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>Apport for automatic crash reporting on openSUSE.</abstract>
    <description>Many application crashes remain unreported due to different reasons: \r
* the crash is silently ignored since no core file is produced \r
* existing crash handlers like bug-buddy or Dr. Konqi are desktop application specific \r
* the crash is not easy to reproduce \r
* the location to report the crash is unknown\r
\r
Apport gives you an easy way to solve these problems.</description>

    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>This presentation explores the free tools that the GNUstep project provides for writing cross-platform Objective-C software.</abstract>
    <description>Objective-C is most known for being the language of choice of Apple and being the "native" language for Apple Mac OS X and iPhone development.  Unfortunately, while Objective-C is a fantastic language, the development tools provided by Apple are designed to lock developers into a closed Apple-only environment.\r
\r
GNUstep provides an alternative, free implementation of the OpenStep specification (the core Objective-C libraries), largely compatible with the Apple Mac OS X Cocoa implementation, and a number of tools that allow Objective-C software\r
to be developed and easily distributed across a number of platforms, including GNU/Linux, *BSD, Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.</description>

    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>Because Debian calls itself "the universal operating system", it was inevitable that it would have come to the first F/LOSS-friendly mobile phone, the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner.</abstract>
    <description>Debian on the Openmoko FreeRunner is not a new port nor a new distribution, but instead a different underlying system for the various Openmoko distributions (originally based on      OpenEmbedded).

    <abstract>Network Storage Devices (NAS) are gaining popularity and are available quite inexpensively. For most customers, they are basically just a hard drive that you connect to the network for  file storage. In reality, these devices are complete, even if fairly low-end, computers - and Debian can be installed on some of them.</abstract>
    <description>This talk will discuss a number of devices that are currently supported and cover some platforms that may be supported in the future.</description>

    <abstract>Grid Computing with Debian, Globus and ARC - collaborations in high-performance computing beyond programming and packaging.</abstract>
    <description>Debian is known for being developed from its userbase. The individuals mutually trust each other, implemented mechanisms for peer review and have the technical support for authorisation and authentication. This way, the workload to provide the software packages for the compute infrastructure is shouldered by many individuals. Grid computing takes this collaboration further. Here, research groups offer access to their local resources not only to other research groups, but they may even grant the right to admit users to virtual organisations - much like the Debian keyring.\r
\r
The presentation presents an overview on current grid middleware and computational grids established. The Globus grid middleware and its Debian packaging are explained, together with the packages of the Advanced Resource Connector (ARC). \r
\r
Today, the most usecases of the technology are the sharing of the computational resources like plain compute power or storage. With the advent of these packages in the Debian main distribution, the adoption of these packages is expected to become more of a commodity to exchange computational workflows, share the burden to maintain rapidly changing data, or control the limited access to special hardware.\r
\r
The speakers are researchers at the Universities of Copenhagen, Lübeck and Uppsala. With funds from several national and international projects in high-energy physics or grid computing, the three are contributing to the development of the ARC grid middleware - and for the provisioning of its Debian packages.</description>

    <description>The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system. The development processes are open to the public and anyone can contribute. The strict Debian Free Software Guidelines are the basis of the Open Source Definition. The resulting operating system consists of tens of thousands of Free Software packages and is renowned for its reliability, thanks to Debian's extensive quality assurance policy.\r
\r
Debian GNU/Linux supports 12 hardware architectures and 4 more are in various stages of development. Debian GNU/Hurd, Debian GNU/NetBSD and Debian GNU/kFreeBSD are works in progress. Several other distributions use Debian as their foundation.</description>

    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>The [http://www.adaic.com/standards/05rm/html/RM-E.html Distributed Systems Annex] is an optional part of the Ada language that allows writing programs that are distributed across several computers.</abstract>
    <description>Each "partition" of the program, running on one machine, communicates with the others by means of remote procedure calls and shared data structures.  Ada provides facilities to make this communication completely transparent to the programmer. Thanks to it, writing a distributed program is no more complex than writing a monolithic one. Indeed, it is possible to recompile a distributed program to make it either distributed or monolithic with no changes to the program source. There are two Free Software implementations of Annex E for GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler: GLADE and its successor [https://libre.adacore.com/polyorb PolyORB], both licensed under terms of the GPL.</description>

    <abstract>NARVAL stands for "Nouvelle Acquisition temps Reel Version 1.6 Avec Linux". It is a distributed data acquisition software system that collects and processes data from nuclear and particles physics detectors.</abstract>
    <description>NARVAL replaces an older system based on C, Fortran and proprietary technologies with Ada and Debian GNU/Linux and is itself Free Software.  In order to ensure maximum data safety most of the program is written in Ada with heavy use of Annex E, the Distributed Systems Annex.  Software engineers and physicists from several countries use this system for fundamental research. The talk will present the NARVAL architecture in detail with some focus on the multi-tasking dataflow core and the configuration done through Annex E.</description>

Ideally the attendees should bring their own laptop into the workshop. And they should have installed NetBeans 6.5, Java 1.6, OpenOfice.org and the OpenOffice.org SDK. A CD with installation programs for the common platforms and the whole workshop material will be available in the workshop room as well. \r
\r
If you have no laptop, no problem watch your neighbour over the shoulder and work together. Or simply listen and watch what the speaker is doing ;-)</description>

    <abstract>This talk will give an introduction to areas inside OOo amenable to graphics hackers - stuff that has the desirable property of instant visual gratification.</abstract>
    <description>Layout: there's currently work underway to give OOo's dialogs an auto-layouting facility. Besides work on the layouting core, there's also help solicited for converting existing dialogs to the new layout-enabled scheme.\r
\r
Canvas: the new OOo rendering subsystem, and what it can do; showing a prototype of an OpenGL-based implementation plus pointers where interested hackers can start helping Slideshow: probably the easiest way to make an impact to millions of OOo users is to code another Impress 3D slide transition – here's how to do that.</description>

explain where we'd like to see it going and explain a few use cases.</abstract>
    <description>Cobbler is an installation server, written in Python, which allows for rapid\r
deployment (and re-deployment) of large amounts of physical and virtual\r
machines by defining distributions, repositories, profiles and systems as\r
objects. It's easy to get started with Cobbler, but we ship a lot of\r
advanced features to make it as versatile as possible, so you won't get\r
bored with it.</description>

    <abstract>This talk takes a trip along the Roadmap for Upstart 1.0, introducing\r
 what features will be available.</abstract>
    <description>Linux has always traditionally lacked good service management\r
 facilities, so much so that the typical daemon doesn't use what ones we\r
 have and instead relies on hokey shell scripts.\r
\r
 Upstart is being developed to not only solve this problem but also how\r
 it, through integration with D-Bus, DeviceKit and similar frameworks,\r
 allows service lifecycles to be tied to hardware and system state.</description>

    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>This talk will discuss the x86 boot process, how to make it work in a\r
dynamic system, and the tradeoffs between versatility and reliability.\r
It will also discuss the Syslinux modular interface and how to use it\r
to quickly add new features with a minimum of coding.</abstract>
    <description>Originally written during an all-night hacking session in 1994 with\r
the intent to better support the then-ubiquitous install boot\r
floppies, Syslinux has evolved over the years into a widely used boot\r
loader suite with an advanced modular interface, with emphasis on ease\r
of use and reliability. It is now the most commonly used x86\r
bootloader for removable media, and is increasingly used for\r
conventional hard disk booting as well.</description>

    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>I'll be going over some of the particular UI and workflow issues in \r
editing, media uploading, and other areas that we intend to tackle, \r
summarize some of the existing work toward those ends, and give a \r
preview our upcoming Wikipedia Usability Initiative.</abstract>
    <description>MediaWiki was born in 2002, when Wikipedia's editing activity outgrew \r
the concurrency limits of its original wiki engine. The first 6 years of \r
this open-source wiki platform's development were largely devoted to \r
scaling and performance, ensuring that the world's most editable online \r
encyclopedia could keep up with the number of articles, visitors, and \r
changes that come with being an insanely popular user-written site. But \r
the user interface hasn't changed much since 2003; if anything, packing \r
in more features has made many aspects of the wiki harder to use over time.\r
\r
In 2009, MediaWiki developers are turning their eye towards usability \r
and design issues. As with the scaling problems we've tackled before, we \r
have to be able to target anything from a tiny personal or intranet wiki \r
to the massive Wikipedia sites, making a range of different use cases \r
with different needs... It'll be fun!</description>

    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>The talk will start with a very short overview of the history of Mailman and\r
the mailman-pgp-smime project.  Some remarks will be made on how to install and\r
configure the software, so that one can try it.  Currently supported features\r
will be mentioned, as well as an overview of development plans.  One will learn\r
how to contribute to the project; an overview of the revision control system\r
used will be given.  Some remarks on the future of the patch will be made: will\r
it be shipped with Mailman itself?\r
\r
If you have used Mailman, both as a subscriber and as a list admin, and if\r
you know what PGP and S/MIME are, you should definitely attend this talk.</abstract>
    <description>he Secure List Server, mailman-pgp-smime, is an effort to add support for\r
encryption and authentication to Mailman, the GNU mailing list software.  This\r
enhancement enables groups of people to safely cooperate and communicate using\r
email.  The patch includes support for both RFC 2633 (S/MIME) and RFC 2440 \r
(OpenPGP) email messages.\r
\r
Development of the patch is made possible by the NLnet foundation.\r
\r
A post to a secure list will be distributed only if the PGP (or S/MIME)\r
signature on the post is from one of the list members.  For sending encrypted\r
email, a list member encrypts to the public key of the list.  The post will be\r
decrypted and re-encrypted to the public keys of all list members.</description>

    <abstract>The talk will be focused on the main features delivered by the JTR Project that enable the seamless distribution of the full spectrum of test-suites that can be written to a set of JTR-enabled nodes making it easy performing distributed test sessions.</abstract>
    <description>The JTR Project is a Java distributed testing framework conceived to fill a gap existing today most notably in the open-source world that’s the lack of a single tool that could help in developing from simple to complex test suites in Java with particular emphasis on the stack of backend-technologies embraced by the JEE specification.\r
\r
The JTR Framework is aimed at fastening the development of both functional and stress-test suites for verifying the requirements and robustness of both JSE and JEE projects. The JTR Framework supports you in writing components meant for testing:\r
•standard JSE components / applications\r
•EJBs conforming to both J2EE 2.x and JEE specifications\r
•MOM-based JSE and JEE systems (JMS)\r
•web-services (both document-based and rpc-like)</description>

    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>We have found two main limitations in Berkeley Sockets API:\r
(1) it has been designed to manage one stack per protocol family\r
(2) there is not a protocol family supporting (fast) multicast for Inter Process Communication (among processes running on the same computer).\r
The virtualsquare team proposes solutions for both problems:\r
(1) the msocket call to support several stacks (implemented in lwipv6 and ipnet)\r
(2) the IPN (inter process networking) protocol family.\r
IPN can be used for many applications: midi, mpeg-ts dispatching, kernel based\r
vde switches.</abstract>

2.2.- Procedures: instalaltion, management, update, etc.\r
3.- ModularIT community project</abstract>
    <description>ModularIT is a virtuliced and distributed modular services architecture based on free software. This project has been released for the spanish community at the beginning of 2008 and by January 2009 it will be translated to english. Right now it is downloadable and before the end of the year we will begin to develop the project through a public SVN.\r
\r
ModularIT is the result of 10 years of hard working from Grupo CPD (www.grupocpd.com) with free software systems and network services. we are a free software companies network from the Canary Islands, Spain. we are interested in presenting the project at FOSDEM.\r

    <title>How the social networking site Hyves benefits from puppet</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>After explaining the basics of puppet and some background of the social network Hyves the speaker will discuss how puppet helped Hyves to automate a large set of daily sysadmin tasks. The speaker will also discuss how to automate common sysadmin problems / tasks with puppet and will show how to manage puppet masters and clients on large scale networks (+2000 servers)</abstract>
    <description>Puppet is an open-source next-generation server automation tool. It is composed of a declarative language for expressing system configuration, a client and server for distributing it, and a library for realizing the configuration.\r
\r
The primary design goal of Puppet is that it have an expressive enough language backed by a powerful enough library that you can write your own server automation applications in just a few lines of code. With Puppet, you can express the configuration of your entire network in one program capable of realizing the configuration. The fact that Puppet has open source combined with how easily it can be extended means that you can add whatever functionality you think is missing and then contribute it back to the main project if you desire.</description>

    <title>Introducing FreedroidRPG, a great FOSS isometric RPG</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>The talk introduces the game FreedroidRPG, insisting on it being mature and fully playable.\r
We will see what features FreedroidRPG provides, present a few screenshots, explain our\r
interest in having an immersive ambience through dialogs, music and graphics, and mention the\r
unusual history of the game (it started off as a 2D arcade game before evolving into a full featured\r
RPG similar to Diablo). We will explain where we need help from the community. A demo will not be\r
possible in the timeframe of a lightning talk, but a little video may be played.</abstract>
    <description>FreedroidRPG is a mature open source sci-fi isometric role playing game. It\r
strives at providing an immersive ambience backed by refined graphics and\r
music tracks. Besides the hack'n'slash action phases, dialogs with dozens of\r
NPCs take care of storytelling. The player can fight with melee or ranged\r
weapons, take control of his enemies by hacking, and remotely execute code on\r
enemy robots.</description>

    <title>Games Engines Done Good</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>Too many game engines expect you to use their code exclusively. But no games company will replace their entire technology with an open source engine, just to utilise one component. Consequently, the only open source technology generally used in professional games are those that come as individual libraries - like Lua, or ODE.\r
\r
In his talk, Steven covers the reason for why monolithic architectures are no good for games development, how to avoid them, and the alternatives - at both a technical and man management level.\r
\r
He covers the principles behind creating interfaces and loosely-couple modules to ensure flexibility, and how to introduce new modules and platforms into the mix. Distinctions are also made between commonly-confused terms such as "engine", "drivers", "domains", "platforms" and "libraries."\r
\r
Finally, an overview of the practical solutions are given, using the SGX Engine as a example covering audio, graphics, input, and scripting.</abstract>
    <description>SGX is a 3D graphics engine, based around of series of null drivers and loosely-coupled modules to facilitate an infinitely upgradable engine. It is primarily suited to games and digital TV backdrops, and runs under Windows and Linux, using OpenGL. It is also one of the few Open Source engines to be used in commercial products.</description>

    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>After a brief overview of the main features and benefits of Apache Solr (an open source embeddable search server), the architecture of eZ Find (the search plugin for eZ Publish, a PHP CMS), will be presented. The main lessons learned around dealing with a mix of structured and non-structured content, multilingual aspects, tuning and the various state-of-the-art features of Solr will be shared with the audience.</abstract>
    <description>eZ Find is the enterprise grade search engine used for eZ Publish (a CMS written in PHP, with flexible content modeling). The back-end engine used is Apache Solr. The document/field model of Solr together with its powerful features around faceting, filtering, automatic related content and language features are a 1-to-1 match with the CMS used. But is also capable of integrating various data-sources, such as ERP systems or document collections with the use of plugins.</description>

    <title>TikiWiki CMS/Groupware - When just a Wiki is Not Enough</title>
    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Lightning Talks</track>
    <type>Lightning-Talk</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>TikiWiki is a powerful, multilingual Wiki, Content Management System (CMS) and Groupware. Translated to 35 languages, and with an install base of tens of thousands, over 200 people have contributed to the source code and it provides hundreds of built-in features to create all sorts of web sites, intranets and extranets, including support.mozilla.com.\r
\r
The community eats its own DogFood and applies the "Wiki Way" to software development. Written in PHP, it is released as free software (LGPL). TikiWiki is at the crossroads between Wikis and CMS/Groupware. It is so much more than just a wiki. \r
\r
Most wikis are pure wikis. However, is that sufficient? "He who is good with a hammer thinks the world is a nail". While a wiki is a great tool, it is not optimal in many situations. For some things, forums, issue trackers, blogs, etc. are better. That's why there are hundreds of Content Management Systems (CMS) out there. However, many CMS systems are focused on classic publishing, rather than community and collaboration. \r
\r
In TikiWiki, the wiki way is found throughout the application. For example, the wiki syntax works in the forums, and in structured data trackers. Major features of TikiWiki include news articles, forums, newsletters, blogs, a file/image gallery, structured data trackers, translation, polls, calendar, Mobile Tiki (PDA and WAP access), RSS feeds, a category system, a theme control center, and more.\r
\r
When would you need a wiki that is bundled with other features? Find out for yourself in this session what makes TikiWiki unique.</abstract>
    <description>TikiWiki CMS/Groupware is a full-featured, tightly integrated, open source, multilingual, all-in-one Wiki-CMS-Groupware, written in PHP and actively developed by a very large international community. Major features include articles, forums, newsletters, blogs, a file/image gallery, a wiki, bug &amp; issue tracker (form generator), a calendar, RSS feeds, a category system, tags, a workflow engine, an advanced user, group and permission system and more.</description>

    <abstract>Solar hot water systems in particular, and home control in general, provide excellent opportunities for fun geeking. Conventional control is done with various boxes, each of which is very stupid. Everything is proprietary and mostly incompatible with other manufacturers.\r
\r
Wookey decided that a better solution was one smart controller using open technologies, which could do cool stuff like on-line energy logging.</abstract>
    <description>He will explain enough about plumbing that the rest of the talk makes sense, then cover the practicalities of the necessary mix of IO: (I2C, 1-wire, digital IO, switching, displays), Software (logging, control scripting, user feedback) and Hardware (Balloonboard+IO).\r
\r
When he's finished you should have enough knowledge to go away and put together your own versatile controller (and solar system), and have an appreciation of the potential of this technology, as well as what work is still needded to make it accessible beyond the world of embedded Linux engineers.</description>

    <abstract>Experiences in Development and Certification of Linux-Based Fire Safety &amp; Security Systems</abstract>
    <description>As time passes, we rely more and more on software-intensive systems in safety-critical areas, from car brakes to aircraft control systems. A number of standards and certification procedures have been defined to assess the reliability of those products. Linux and open-source software (OSS) are attractive components to use in embedded systems.\r
\r
While some reliability information is available from enterprise systems research, certifiability of OSS in a particular industry is a major project risk.\r
\r
In this presentation, we share our experience in the development and certification of Linux-based fire safety systems. We provide a short introduction in standards objectives and approaches, describe the certification stakeholders and processes, product development challenges and possible solutions.</description>

    <abstract>As ASIC technology progresses to smaller technology nodes (63nm and and lower), leakage currents become increasingly important. This means that just stopping clocks isn't enough to save enough power to obtain the desired device use times. \r
We need to shut off inactive parts of the ASIC depending on the actual usage. Eg. turn off the camera functionality or the GPU when not in use. We call this dynamic power switching (DPS).</abstract>
    <description>This talk will show how TI, Nokia and the community implemented DPS in the linux kernel. We will also discuss other power saving features of OMAP3 and how they are used in the linux kernel.</description>

    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Embedded</track>
    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>Neil presents the release of Emdebian 1.0 Grip and Crush.</abstract>
    <description>== Emdebian 1.0 Grip - a small, binary compatible, Debian ==\r
Grip is between 25 and 40% smaller than standard Debian and uses TDebs for localisation. Grip can be easily installed using standard Debian-Installer images or debootstrap and allows for easy mixing of Debian and Grip packages. Grip supports seven architectures using the existing Debian ports: arm, armel, i386, amd64 (test architecture), mips, mipsel and powerpc. Version 1.0 is primarily for developers but is roughly equivalent to Debian in terms of usability and maintenance.\r
\r
Emdebian 1.0 Grip includes packages for a typical XFCE desktop installation. Typical Grip installations are between 25 and 40% smaller than the equivalent Debian installation.\r
\r
This talk covers all the essential features of Grip and will (hopefully) include a demo of using the Debian Installer from Lenny to install Emdebian 1.0 Grip on an Acer Aspire1 netbook.\r
\r
== Emdebian 1.0 Crush - a cross-built tiny Debian developer release ==\r
Crush is only available for ARM and consists of a limited package set based around the GNOME Palmtop Environment. Crush\r
installation methods are machine-specific (with support from packages in Debian Lenny) and Crush does not include any kernels. Version 1.0 is only for developers and is significantly more difficult to prepare, install and maintain than either Debian or Emdebian Grip but provides a much smaller installation. Basic root filesystems of 24Mb installed,\r
full GPE GUI installations within 75Mb.\r
\r
This talk covers the limitations of Crush, the practical difficulties inherent in cross-building Debian using packages from Lenny and the improvements being implemented into the next release of Debian (Squeeze) that will make it easier to add support for more architectures for Emdebian Crush 2.0 (based on Debian 6.0 "Squeeze").</description>

    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Drupal</track>
    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>As many already know by now, 80 to 90% of the response time of a web page is dependent on the page loading performance (the fetching of the HTML and all files referenced). This is different from the page rendering performance, which is just the time it takes to generate the HTML.\r
Drupal already tackles several issues pretty well. But there's more we can do!</abstract>
    <description>You can solve several additional problems today, just by installing extra modules (such as [http://drupal.org/project/sf_cache Support file Cache]), by configuring Apache (e.g. gzipped output), or by configuring some shell scripts (e.g. to optimize image files). I'll explain you how to apply these solutions.\r
\r
For most Drupal sites, CDN integration and putting JS at the bottom of the page have the biggest impact. However, these two techniques are currently very hard to apply properly to Drupal: both require hacks to Drupal core.\r
My aim is to solve both of these problems as part of my bachelor thesis. I'll explain how I expect to solve this and the impact of both issues on your site.</description>

    <abstract>Continuously importing data, of any size or number of sources, needs infrastructure. Neil Drumm wrote [http://drupal.org/project/job_queue Job Queue] and [http://drupal.org/project/import_manager Import Manager] to queue and manage imports.\r
\r
He will show how to use these modules to get the basics out of the way.</abstract>
    <description>Neil Drumm will also talk about a few strategies he found successful for data conversion. The presentation will not be able to cover how to get everything into nodes, but will teach how to think about converting data.\r
\r
At [http://maplight.org/ MAPLight], Neil managed importing data from GovTrack, OpenSecrets, the FEC, the Iowa Legislature and other government entities. Some updates happen within 30 minutes of an action in Congress, while others need to be run monthly, or reports as-needed.</description>

    <subtitle></subtitle>
    <track>Drupal</track>
    <type>Podium</type>
    <language>English</language>
    <abstract>Roel explains how he manages deployments of very large Drupal sites from staging to live servers.</abstract>
    <description>The problem:\r
A client has a live site with 1000's of pages, 10's of blocks containing rather static information.\r
There is almost no user interaction except for a few webforms to collect some user information (contact, request for documentation, etc..)\r
\r
While the site is live, the client wish to prepare for the next iteration of the website. The new version will contain altered, new and deleted nodes and blocks. There is a workflow to allow approving all the changes by the end-redaction. While the old site is unaltered they wish to have a live-preview of what the new website will look like.\r
\r
a Solution?\r
Can Drupal handle this out-of-the-box?\r
An initial guess would be to define a some states using the workflow module and handle revisions using the revision_deletion and revision_moderation modules.\r
But that doesn't help when you want to test drive the site as anonymous visitor.\r
How DID we do it? A small set of bash scripts and drupal modules did the trick. We'd be honoured to explain those and be cross-fired with questions!</description>

    <abstract>Davy explains how they implement a complex Drupal website at DotProjects.</abstract>
    <description>DotProjects is developing a new website for Cultuurnet Vlaanderen. This website allows users to browse all kinds of events happening in Belgium. All event data is not managed in Drupal but is managed in Cultuurnet's own system and access to this data is provided by their REST API.\r
\r
This event data, which is "hosted" on their API is enriched with comments, ratings, YouTube video's, Press releases, ... in Drupal. To make this possible, all events need to exist in Drupal as nodes. For this we developed an offline synchronisation method and a real time synchronisation method where nodes for events are only created as soon as their node page is accessed.\r
\r
For each event the system also tries to look for a YouTube video, Flickr image, Wikipedia entry. This all happens automatically without any user interaction. For this a custom Drupal module was developed (Service Attachments) which allows to automatically look for content on APIs for each node.\r
\r
With a high focus on these two problems, we'll explain the process of implementing this website in Drupal.</description>
