Three of the main design features of the tool include: * Parallel execution * Event driven mechanism * Distributed architecture This talk will demo a prototype I've built that implements these ideas. It is written in golang, and is completely free software. I will also cover the new functionality we've added to the tool such as the automatic edge and automatic grouping features and other fun stuff that happened between now and the conference. Mgmt's design goes out of its way to ensure that it always has feature parity on both Fedora and Debian simultaneously. An introductory blog post on the subject is available. https://ttboj.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/next-generation-configuration-mgmt/ Attendees are encouraged to read it before the talk if they are interested!

Glattfelder: Who controls the world? James Glattfelder studies complexity: how an interconnected system -- say, a swarm of birds -- is more than the sum of its parts. And complexity theory, it turns out, can reveal a lot about how the economy works. Glattfelder shares a groundbreaking study of how control flows through the global economy, and how concentration of power in the hands of a shockingly small number leaves us all vulnerable.

Foredraget vil foregå på norsk: Foredraget vil kort gå igjennom forretningsmodellen til ForgeRock siden den er basert på videreføring av flere fri programvarebaserte produkter som Oracle ikke var interessert i når de overtok Sun. De utvikler i tillegg også sine egne produkter. Uten en fri programvaremodell for disse produktene ville ikke ForgeRock vært en realitet. Foredagsholderen vil beskrive hvordan tjener de penger på fri programvare. Presentasjonen vil også dekke generelle problemstillinger med Identity & Access Management rundt områder som autentisering, autorisasjon, føderering og provisioning. Tidligere OpenSSO, nå OpenAM som de viderefører vil bli kort beskrevet sammen med resten av deres I3-platformstrategi. Stein Myrseth er Head of product Management hos ForgeRock.

Regularly running youth programmes at FOSS conferences where children take part in workshops about many aspects of technology and computer science, Teckids provides the necessary entry level to the free software community. Being a community organisation for young people, Teckids entirely relies on engaging those young people in all aspects of the organisation, starting from tutoring in workshops up to participating as board members. This concept brings a whole bunch of quite complicated and hard processes with it, but is entirely worth while. We would like to introduce our work to interested participants in Norway, to present the idea behind the organisation, and maybe find people who would like to engage in the project in Norway. Eike and Nik are two members of Teckids e.V. in Germany. Nik is chairperson and founding member of the organisation, and Eike, now 16 years old, is the tutor who got everything rolling back when he was 11 years old and held his first PyGame workshops at FrOSCon. The two are now lead developers of the Veripeditus project, a new tool to get young people interested in gaming involved in programming using free software tools.

A watchdog non-government organisation (NGO) which has experimented with introducing Civic Tech solutions in order to facilitate the work of its team, and also to provide citizens with empowering tools. Since Atlatszo.hu was launched in 2011, the Freedom of Information Act has received a lot of attention, and the legal way for questioning public bodies about spending, a «Freedom of Information request» has become the tool for many to reveal information about corruption. Marietta Le will showcase the use of the free software system Alaveteli, and the use of the Freedom of Information Act in Hungary. The law has been changed since 2011, and the latest news is about a threat that would make access to information much harder for Hungarian citizens. Meanwhile, Atlatszo.hu and many others are trying to implement new Civic Tech solutions in Hungary to help people exercise their democratic rights. Marietta Le is an FOI advocate at Atlatszo.hu Hungarian investigative journalism website. She also works with the K-Monitor anti-corruption NGO as a project coordinator to «Be Smart with Data», a program that facilitates NGOs in producing web apps and visualisations using open data. In 2015 the Hungarian Forbes magazine has featured her on their «30 under 30» list for starting «Jarokelo.hu», a street fixing website in Hungary. https://frikanalen.no/video/625446/ 3324 What's new in the Linux kernel - Debconf 16 The Linux kernel is under rapid development. Stable releases are made around 5 times per year, each including many new features and support for new hardware. This talk will summarise the features that have been added and enabled in the last year. There have been many changes to Linux between 4.1 and 4.6. Some of these will require new or updated userland applications to take advantage of them. I will attempt to summarise the most interesting changes and the state of integration in Debian.

A few years later, I took over upstream maintenance. Much has changed in that time, both in Debian and in the wider open source community. Some of it had an impact on NBD, some of it did not. This talk will reflect on 15 years of NBD history, contrast it against Debian's history over the same time period, and see what we can learn from it.

Dette er noe som egentlig ikke har fulgt med i overgangen til den digitale hverdagen og det digitale arkivet er blitt redusert til postmottak og saksbehandling. Resultatet er en forvaltning som svekker innbyggernes rettssikkerhet og et hull i rikets hukommelse. Politikerne sier mye om digitalisering men hvis ikke det digitale arkivet får en sentral plass i IT-arkitekturen så vil digitaliseringsproblematikken fortsatt bli uløst. Denne viktige felleskomponenten burde være tilgjengelig som fri programvare slik at vi får mer kunnskap og innsikt i danningen og bevaringen av forvaltningens arkiver. Det kommunale arkivmiljøet sammen med HiOA har jobbet i flere år med et prosjekt for å realisere en NOARK5-kjerne basert på en fri programvare lisens. Vi har på plass en løsning som kan fungere som en innsynsløsning for NOARK5-uttrekk og begynner nå arbeidet med å fullføre kjernen og få den godkjent. Dette er en REST/JSON-basert tjeneste og vi vil presentere løsningen til dere samtidig som vi diskuterer veien videre.

I'll describe some use cases in more detail: using free software in place of proprietary appliances, which could apply to Debian and ZFS more generally. And we even have a downstream distribution now, so we'll see how that's been a useful collaboration already.

Planetary scientist Nathalie Cabrol takes us inside the search for microbes on Mars, a hunt which counterintuitively leads us to the remote lakes of the Andes mountains. This extreme environment — with its thin atmosphere and scorched land — approximates the surface of Mars about 3.5 billion years ago. How microbes adapt to survive here may just show us where to look on Mars — and could help us understand why some microbial pathways lead to civilization while others are a dead end.

Initially it was based on Debian Stable (Wheezy then Jessie) but since late 2015, it now tracks Debian Testing with its daily changes. There are upsides and downsides to this and I'll try to present those as well as the infrastructure that we have setup to run Kali Linux (repositories, build daemons, jenkins checks, etc.). This talk is interesting for other Debian derivatives that want to learn from Kali's experience, but it's also interesting for the Debian community to learn of the problems that derivatives are facing when they try to track Debian Testing.

Vi vil demonstrere OpenID i en demo hvro vi bruker maskinvare-basert autentisering fra Yubico for forbedret sikkerhet. OpenId er en åpen arkitektur for web-basert brukerautentisering. En av dens fordeler er at den lar deg som web-utvikler unngå maset ved å vedlikeholde en egen bruker/passord-database, med de sikkerhetsproblemene dette innebærer. Fordelen for deg som bruker av systemet er at du kan redusere antall brukernavn/passord-kombinasjoner du må forholde deg til. Presentasjonen fokuserer på egenskaper i forhold til brukervennlighet og berører kun overfladisk de underliggende kryptografiske mekansimer.
