Hi Martin,

Highlights for me were:

Taking Technology To The Birds
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/100/
A personal bias here - I am involved in a wildlife project gathering data
on microbats. Using AI to analyse our data would definitely be useful.

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that": Ethics in Software Development
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/117/
A thoughtful discussion of an issue we pay too little attention to, even in
the community oriented open source world.

Sequencing DNA with Linux Cores and Nanopores
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/133/
The most memorable talk of the entire conference for me. David Eccles put
yesterday's lunch through a DNA sequencer. By the end of the talk, he had
matched a gene sequence with an online catalogue to discover there was a
tomato gene in his sample.

The Robots Won't Take Away Our Jobs ? Let's Reframe the Debate on
Artificial Intelligence
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/137/
Again, a talk on the human dimensions of our technology. Thanks Martin.

The Kernel Report
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/146/
I always enjoy Jonathan's report. This year he spent time on how the
"contribute upstream" message is starting to sink in at Google and Android.
His discussion of the new Code of Conduct for Linux kernel developers was
perceptive and might have got those who think they are against it to think
again.

The Tragedy of systemd
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/156/
Benno is always opinionated, and always tells you why. His talk in the dev
miniconf was good value too.

Overall, the talks on community and the human impact of technology, and of
the application of open source to other fields were interesting and I
encourage the papers committee to welcome those as well as straight tech
talks.

Cheers

Paul Foxworthy

If I may correct you slightly :)

Gogole has always tried to upstream anything possible in the kernel,
both because it's the right thing to do, and because keeping sets of
patches is painful long term.
They haven't always been accepted, wakelocks being the obvious example,
but overall it's not been a problem.

What has been a problem is
1) binary only drivers from some hardware vendors that are in turn used
in android hardware, and the lack of ABI in linux, in turn causing
android to be stuck with a version of linux and having to backport
patches until that hardware dies.

2) some android vendors who have indeed modified linux on their own and
not tried to upstream anything (Jon gave an example in his talk).

Cheers,
Marc

The Tragedy of systemd
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/156/
Benno is always opinionated, and always tells you why.
+1
fav quote: Unix is dead.
"dead" is not well defined, but in this context it gives the right message:
Linux has enough mass/space to warrant breaking rank.
I for one welcome our new overlords and look forward to the future.

*The Value of an Apology*
*Jen Zajac*
https://2019.linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/239/
Jen talks about more than just Linus' apology - I would say it uses it as a
case study and how other communities behave.
"...this matters even if you're not a kernel dev."
I hope it helps people be a bit more understanding and compassionate to
each other.
quoting The Tragedy of systemd: "it didn't deserve death threats."
I hope Jen does this kind of talk every year, as long as people continue to
be (insert sad adjective) ... /me crys


Right to Not Broadcast
Karen Sandler
https://2019.linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/125/
"...our most personal data is often being broadcast by default, sometimes
without appropriate security measures and without an off switch. "
As a consumer, I, me, Carl, have this insane delusional trust that the
manufactures are trying to do the right thing.  If I am this dumb, everyone
needs to listen to Karen.

The annoying thing with LCA is that after taking a week to attend it, I
need another week to see all the talks I couldn't see because I was
already attending other talks :)

Marc

PS: but seriously, LCA likely has the best talk selection of any
conference I've talked to, coupled with the best video recording with
almost instant video release. Well done as always!

I have taken Steven's suggestion of a rolling LCA2019 to heart. So far
I've watched one video per day since the end of the conference.

The LISP talk was brilliant, it was so great, spoke on the hidden history
of computing and was delivered so well. It is one that's actually a good
one to send to students in tech aswell aka learning not just about the
history but also about the craft of programming and how sharing is in our
nature.

Oh and oh course the tragedy of SystemD, Beno really surprised me, I also
think that one could be labelled as "Counselling 101 for anyone who has
been on a mailing list talking about
Systemd" and lets face it for many of us LCA is mental health retreat ;)

I think I also do not need to mention Jon Oxers talk, I was blown away as I
know how complex those wheelchairs can be and just wow. I guess if anyone
was going to reverse engineer a multi thousand dollar piece of equipment it
was going to be Jon and his mates lol :) but yeah that talk was great
because it reminds us all of how open source fundamentally changes life for
people, and at the end of the day that's what many of us are passionate
about not building the next app for some rich kid in Silicon Valley but
fundamentally changing lives by opening up what was before a closed box :)


All in all as always top level talks,





- Aimee Maree Forsstrom

Hi,


Was the video of the Children's presentations at the close of the conference removed from youtube at somebody's request or for some other reason?  Our kids teachers were interested to see it.


(It was previously at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzECRd-kdrI )

The title was spelled wrong, so it got put back in the queue.

I'll make you the reviewer, so you will get an email when it gets put up
again.

Hello Linux Conf AU buddies!

I wonder if you might be able to help me ..
There was a prof from a New Zealand tech school that serves about 6000 students a year, Matt (?), he had presented perhaps at the pre-conference workshop on Day-2 or Day-3,
on what his school is striving towards with their limited resources. It was powerful, just as was the raffle target.
I am poor with name recall and so wish I had taken a picture of his badge, and both myself and Tobias have scrutinized the conference schedule and not been able to identify him.
Was he even a Matt? He did attend my Automotive IoT, sitting on the left of speaker facing room, perhaps row 2 or 3.
Might you  know who I am talking about or how to locate him or perhaps he too reads this chat?

Maybe you're thinking of Matt Pattison?

He did speak at the open hardware miniconf, which doesn't seem to have 
its schedule synchronised with the main website: 
http://www.openhardwareconf.org/wiki/OHMC2019

I spoke to him several times, he did work at a tech school but in 
Victoria, not NZ.

Hey all,

A little delayed, but ~10 extra videos are going up at the moment
(conference close, hardware miniconf, some others), on YT and the LA mirror.

The mirror has had a handful of few incorrect filenames fixed, and there's
a new FILES.md file which has a basic index of titles, authors and rooms to
hopefully make finding talks a little easier:

http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2019/FILES.md

Approx 10 new videos (YT link sorted by last uploaded):

Thanks Ryan for tracking down and uploading the stragglers, and tidying 
up the mirror.  It's really great to have such an amazing record of the 
Linux.Conf.Au conference talks.

For those that are wondering about still missing talks, at least for the 
ones I've checked, it seems like either the speaker declined the 
recording/materials release, so I'm assuming they either didn't get 
recorded or can't be uploaded; or they were last minute rescheduling and 
didn't get recorded (which is a risk with any last minute changes).

I'm still working my way through the backlog of recordings I want to 
watch -- the YouTube channel has 159 recordings, of which I've probably 
seen about half of the ones I want to see either in person or over the 
last couple of weeks.

(If you're looking for recommendations, #lca2019 on Twitter still has 
people mentioning recordings they've watched and recommending them.)

I know I'm late to the party, and there are far too many talks to list
that qualify as "outstanding" if I compare them to other conferences,
and I am deliberately excluding the keynotes which were all stellar ?
I'll make this brief. Among the main conference talks, here are my top 3:

Open Source Superhumans, Jon Oxer.
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/101/

Beach Wreck Ignition: Challenges in open source voice, Kathy Reid.
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/148/

The Tragedy of systemd, Benno Rice.
https://linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/156/

Thanks to everyone involved! It was yet another wonderful LCA.

Cheers,
Florian

There was a prof from a New Zealand tech school that serves about 6000 students a year, Matt (?), he had presented perhaps at the pre-conference workshop on Day-2 or Day-3,
on what his school is striving towards with their limited resources. It was powerful, just as was the raffle target.

Message-ID: <CAHLUNMwbxRn=NqAEwg6VC5Nj2kYf_iM93JmBPe3qHiVM_1trtg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi!

At the LCA BBQ I had a long chat to a volunteer who was interested in my
thoughts on how to build an FPGA based networking switch. I however seem to
have lost contact details for him.

I recently came across the snabb (https://github.com/snabbco/snabb) and
EasyNic (https://github.com/lukego/easynic) projects and thought he might
be interested in them.

If anyone knows who I'm talking about, could you forward him this email?

Thanks!

I'm the chap you were talking to - you've found me!




Thanks for the links to those projects. They look very useful. ?
