3 Introduction to Streamlit - The Open Source Solution to Data Apps

Creating Data Apps has often been considered a time consuming job for developers. Streamlit is an open source , fast and reliable solution to building your data apps with so much ease, so that you can focus your time on back end coding, rather than worrying about a front end design. This tool is very handy for Data Science & Machine Learning Applications in Particular

12:00 Lunch Break

4 Newcomers Workshop: Learn how to contribute to GNOME apps!

7 Starting the open-source journey, and sharing my GSoC experience

Although there exist many talks on how to begin contributing to open-source, people are still always confused regarding it, which indicates that there is something that needs to be changed. When I started my journey, I was also haunted by the projects listed, I always used to think, this is something which is out of my league, also FOSS is something that is rarely involved in university curriculums which tenders this fear even more.

But, I navigated my way into this community, and became a GSoC Intern at GNOME Foundation, it is this journey that I want to share with everyone. Being a core member of the FOSSC-U club at my university, I’ve listened to a lot of queries regarding open-source, most of them having the same myths and doubt, and when I talk to them, it reminds me of my past, through this talk I want to deliver my experience and my journey to masses, and hopefully remove this fear of FOSS and bring new contributors, to not only GNOME but the whole community at scale. I will also shed some light on my GSoC’22 project and talk about my experience during it.

8 Open Source & Cyber Security

Open source software is a rapidly growing market because every user has access to the respective programming code, can audit what the code’s functionality does and can edit the code to fit specific requirements.

Open-source cybersecurity tools allow enterprises to strengthen their security posture at a low capex, provided they have the requisite technical expertise. These tools can be offensive or defensive, allowing enterprises to proactively test systems and hunt for vulnerabilities or monitor active systems to preempt incoming attacks. They also provide a greater degree of customization if the user possesses the right skill sets, as publicly available source code.

Security researchers may combine a list of security tools into a comprehensive security solution which benefits to the organizations and others. Speaker will share his experience in his applied research & development integrating the list of open source security tools in collaboration with academics and industries in order to establish a comprehensive tools to compliment industrial security products. In the same time contributing back to the open source communities.

Speaker: Mr Fathi Kamil Zainuddin

9 Community building and best DEI practices in Free and Open Source Communities

As an active contributor of FLOSS projects in different countries in Europe and in the last few years specifically in Italy I have gained the experience of different communities and countries at scale and as a consequence very different perspectives.
In this presentation I am going to share the experience I have gained in community building in the small and newborn communities and the experience during my work as the national referent for some of the same projects in Italy.
In the Free Software environment, active communities are the key factor in bringing forward the project. Exchanging knowledge and experience among different projects is important in order to learn from one another new ways to engage the community and understand what are some factors that might influence positively within each community. I will also bring my experience on how to work with the Diversity Equity and Inclusion as well, as an important key for a healthy environment.
It will be a walk through that will include some best practices on growing a local community and some tips and tricks to help keeping community members active and have a positive, inclusive and friendly environment that makes it easier for newcomers to join.

10 Remote development environment for remote developer

I'll explore the concept of remote development vs local and looks into a number of options that exists nowadays, from DIY kind of setup to using SaaS solutions such as Github Codespaces and Gitpod. We will also looks into a number of use cases where engineering team has moved their development environment from their local machine to cloud.

11 Getting Started as a GNOME Contributor and Leveraging the In-Community Opportunities to Build a Career Around FOSS

Getting into open source as a newbie can most often be tricky. People wonder if they are skilled enough, if they can find a community that suits their needs or if they can make valuable contributions. Those who have been contributing before may get cold feet when they think of getting started in a new project or community. This talk is meant to provide an easy guide on how to approach open source through the GNOME Foundation and continue to grow over time till you find that amazing opensource opportunity. I am not there yet, but my interaction with other community members and the stories they've told, have helped me realize that there is a road map that anyone can follow. The talk emphasizes on making use of open source internships like Outreachy and GSOC that come with stipends, getting involved in community activities, building good relationships with community members, asking questions and helping others find their way. The more responsibilities you have, the more liable you get and sooner than later it becomes more about community than about you. That's when you develop the passion and motivation you may have been missing and you become unstoppable.

14 What's in a font?

Fonts are important. Much of our communication relies on written words.
And software like GNOME that is used all over the world needs to support
many scripts.

In this talk, I will present an overview of font technologies, covering both
the content of font files and the software stack that is used to go from those
files to the glyphs you see on your screen.

The talk will be accessible to anyone with a general interest in typography and
graphics and should be interesting to application developers and anybody who
wants to get a better understanding of text rendering on Linux.

The GNOME community aims to be an inclusive and welcoming one. To that end, we have a Code of Conduct. GNOME's Code of Conduct governs the behaviors of all who participate in the GNOME community, whether it be contributors, users, or event attendees. This talk will go over what the code of conduct covers, how to contact the committee to report incidents, and how we resolve conflicts.

18 Using Open Source as Solution in Critical Care Medical Device Integration

Devices such as patient monitor, ventilator, ECG machine, syringe pump etc are categorised as Critical Care Medical devices, used for diagnosis and continuous monitoring of critically ill patients or during certain situation such as surgeries. The information generated from these devices are used for diagnosis, patient monitoring or therapies and considered as vital information delivered in real time representing the state of the patients. Such devices also known as bedside devices, because of the obvious reason it is normally located by the bed side.

There is a need for such vital information to be recorded, and more importantly not only viewable by the bedside but also to be accessible and monitored remotely. In this presentation I will share how open source solutions are used during the phase of development that leads to a finished product.

Speaker: Adzmely Mansor

11:30 Coffee Break

19 Using GNOME Boxes to contribute to GNOME

In this presentation we will dive into GNOME Boxes and discuss how it can be useful to the GNOME development process, helping developers, translators, designers, marketers, and documentation writers.

We will demonstrate some standard contribution workflows combining GNOME OS and Flatpak apps, while using GNOME Boxes features such as file sharing, device redirection, display sizing, etc...

20 between me, Tumbleweed and Mechanical Keyboard

I am Rifki, DevOps Engineer at Aruna, and a contributor to openSUSE, especially openSUSE ID.

I want to tell you about my journey with my openSUSE Tumbleweed at PC and my mechanical keyboard.

A day in my life, my job is DevOps Engineer, and I work from Home (WFH) I always use my Tumbleweed with GNOME 42 for working.

I found trouble connecting my 75% keyboard layout to openSUSE Tumbleweed, the problem is function key (fn) not working at keychron k2. For solution, I compile again with this command sudo mkinitrd.

So. for this talk, I want tell my story between Me, Tumbleweed (with GNOME) and Mechanical Keyboard on day in my life.
