From cherie.ellis at lca2015.linux.org.au Thu Dec 4 12:08:11 2014 From: cherie.ellis at lca2015.linux.org.au (Cherie Ellis) Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 14:08:11 +1300 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] LCA 2015 Keynote Session - Q&A with Linus Torvalds Message-ID: [image: LinusTorvalds.jpg] Torvalds at LinuxCon Europe 2014 Way, way back in 2003, at LCA in Perth, there was a Q&A session with Linus Torvalds, Bdale Garbee and Andrew Tridgell. It?s time for a follow-up so at LCA 2015 in Auckland it?s going to happen! The Q&A session is scheduled for 09:00 am Friday, 16 January 2015 and will be moderated by Bdale Garbee with the assistance of Andrew Tridgell. Helsinki-born Linus, who simply calls himself a Software Engineer, was the principle force behind developing the Linux kernel. It all started from an initial usenet posting in August of 1991 and made what has proved to be a historic debut with the release of version 1.0 on March 14 1994. In June 2003 Linus started working for Open Source Development Labs. After merging with the Free Standards Group it became the Linux Foundation where Linus continues to work as the project?s coordinator and is Chief Architect of the Linux kernel. In 2005, after criticism for for his use and alleged advocacy of BitKeeper, proprietary software for version-control in the Linux kernel, Linus wrote a free-software replacement for BitKeeper called GIT which is now the most widely-adopted version-control system for software development. Linus is an accomplished diver and in 2011, frustrated with the lack of decent divelog software on Linux, he developed Subsurface ( http://subsurface-divelog.org/) an Open Source divelog program that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. We know that there are a number of beautiful diving spots not too far from Auckland... The LCA 2015 Auckland team would like to thank the Linux Foundation for their assistance in making this possible. -- Cherie Ellis Chairpersonlinux.conf.au 2015 +64 21 293 9746 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

So getting no response for most of the working week isn't confidence boosting. That, coupled with it being an RT backed automatic reply - that's always a brilliant way to make users worry. I'll take this flood of 'don't worry, someone will deal with it' emails as at least some confirmation that someone's going to sort out the money we might be using for Christmas?

This is also a good time as a reminder that the CfP for the miniconf will be closing on the 14th of December. As part of the registration you are booking a seat and a kit for the OpenRadio miniconf. Since this is our first build'a'thon at LCA we are setting a limit on seats to 30. We are aiming to dedicate enough time to each of the participants to complete the kit on the day. The whole day will be devoted to building the understanding the kit. As we have limited seats, please order one kit. Extra kits will be made available after the conference. Because of the time lines, we will be ordering kits in advance and will deliver them directly at the miniconf. To register please head to Davids site; http://www.rowetel.com/blog/?page_id=3780#cart For further information please email me at; vk5fj at wia.org.au Or see the wiki at; https://linux.conf.au/wiki/index.php?title=Open_Radio_Miniconf regards and 73, Kim VK5FJ -- PS - Please forward this email to relevant communities, or email me if there are some I missed.

Message-ID: Helo speakers! Everyone, including myself, makes similar mistakes when creating slides. To help try and solve this problem I've funded the development of a "lint tool" for your slides! Similar to lint tools for code (such as pylint or jslint) it checks that you don't make common mistakes with your slides. The tool is able to check PDF slides, you should be able to export such a version in Google Docs, LibreOffice or even *gasp* Microsoft Powerpoint. There is a website version at http://slidelint.net/ and a downloadable version at http://github.com/timvideos/slidelint For the downloadable version; you should be able to do Install it with; $ sudo pip install setuptools --upgrade $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre zlib1g-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-lxml python-dev poppler-utils poppler-data $ sudo pip install https://github.com/timvideos/slidelint/archive/master.tar.gz Run with; $ slidelint presentation.pdf I'd love help getting this into a Debian package so people can just "apt-get install slidelint". Other distro packaging welcome too, but I'll be unable to test it. There is also the start of a docker image at https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/timvideos/slidelint-site-box/ slidelint is still very new software, so it is bound to get things wrong. I'd love if you reported bugs, issues (at http://b.slidelint.net/) or just shared presentations it was unable to check. Of course, any help is very welcome! The developer I'm working with is not a native English speaker, so even simple things like helping proof read the documentation would be extremely useful. Looking forward to seeing everyones slides at LCA2015 be even more awesome! Tim 'mithro' Ansell http://slidelint.net/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I think going for #LCAAuckNZ is just a continuation of the problem. Much as "server-hugging" is now discouraged[1] I think we need to start discouraging hashtag-hugging. I mean the very point of a a hash function is to prevent collisions. A quick Google indicates that sha256 is generally[2] considered secure so I would therefore suggest that our official hashtag be: $ echo "linux.conf.au 2015 in Auckland, New Zealand" | sha256sum 642a96183278655cb7c90e704a42180e68e059c9cda0e4a5dc9c5562a1b38962 - I am happy to see that this hashtag is unique in both Google and twitter. Now while some people might say that putting a 65 character hashtag on the end of each tweet is excessive I think it is the best way to go forward to avoid these problems. I would therefore request we go with: #642a96183278655cb7c90e704a42180e68e059c9cda0e4a5dc9c5562a1b38962 as the official hashtag for Linux.conf.au 2015.

So is #lxconau. TBH I don't see the sense in changing it. Ignoring the fact that people will tweet with whatever tags they see fit, IMO to be worthwhile, hashtags need to either resonate with people[1], or be obvious (or both). The #lcaYYYY form has been in use in previous years and has obviousness, and if the organisers *do* ultimately request we use a different hashtag, it's too late - plenty of #lca2015 tweets already out there in the wild. If people are worried about collisions with other events, we just have to make sure we're louder ;) Cheers, Tim [1] https://twitter.com/hashtag/642a96183278655cb7c90e704a42180e68e059c9cda0e4a5dc9c5562a1b38962?f=realtime -- Tim Serong Senior Clustering Engineer SUSE tserong at suse.com From Stephen.Donnelly at emulex.com Wed Dec 17 11:35:45 2014 From: Stephen.Donnelly at emulex.com (Stephen Donnelly) Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2014 00:35:45 +0000 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] arduino miniconf?

(I am assuming that the organizers will be plugging some hashtag and encouraging people to tweet about the conference.) Yes, there are #lca2015 tweets already - but that's a trickle compared to the stream that will happen during the event. At least to my mind, the importance of the hashtag is for people to follow the social media stream *during the event* and so it really won't matter a lot if they "miss" a tweet from November about the CfP for this or that miniconf closing.

As Steve said, you log in to the wiki with your username and password that you'd use to log into the http://linux.conf.au site. This is the email address for login and the password you gave. (No don't give it to any of us). b. Sometimes wiki login screen prefills it with your name. Clear that and change it for your email address that you used to sign up for your lca2015 registration. c. Ensure the tick is in the box next to "Keep me logged in" before you log in d. If the URL is https://linux.conf.au/wiki/, ensure you aren't trying to use a previous year's lca username + password that was stored in your laptop/computer. If none of that helps we definitely need to sort it out. regards lin On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 11:51 AM, Steven Ellis wrote: > > Josh - Wiki login is your conference email address, plus conference > password. > > If that still fails please email webmaster at lca2015.linux.org.au > > On 16 December 2014 at 07:56, Josh Berkus wrote: >> >> On 12/07/2014 10:59 PM, Chris Neugebauer wrote: >> > On 8 December 2014 at 16:33, Josh Berkus wrote: >> >> On 12/07/2014 01:18 PM, Chris Neugebauer wrote: >> >>> Myself and a few friends are taking the Northern Explorer train on the >> >>> Saturday.

The first step is for someone to write a patch for pgpsubmit[1] to optionally restrict the types/sizes of keys that can be submitted :) I do not have time to do this at the moment.

Why is this? I wasn't aware of any RSA break which would render 2048-bit keys any less secure than 4096-bit keys for the forseeable future (brute force is still ludicrously out of reach). I don't think there's a reason to exclude people with well-established 2048-bit keys just yet.

The Python Software Foundation appreciates LCA 2015's commitment to diversity, and is proud to add its own contribution in the form of the Python Software Foundation Outreach Fund. Much system software for Linux is written in Python (including both distro level tools and open source system management projects like OpenStack, Salt and Ansible), and Linux is often the default choice for deployment of Python web services and other networked applications. This contribution is intended to strengthen ties between the Python and Linux communities by assisting under-represented delegates who participate in the Python community in the region but, without financial assistance, would not be able to attend LCA 2015.

Hi everyone, (I'm helping with organisation for the Open Hardware MiniConf, which is replacing the Arduino MiniConf.) As others have pointed out, signup isn't open yet - we've been finalising a few details for the assembly project which relate to the cost. Signup will appear over the next couple of days, and there will be an announcement on this list. Thanks everyone for being patient! Here's a quick teaser announcement though: the assembly project this year will be "SimpleBot Pi", which is the latest revision of an open low cost robotics platform originally developed by Andrew Fisher and further developed by a few people from the Melbourne hackerspace. SimpleBot Pi is an autonomous Linux powered robot, connected via wifi, with sensors and RGB LEDs to interact with its environment - as well as lots of room for further expansion. Some pics: https://twitter.com/projectgus/status/543332977132859393 More technical details will be available by the time signup is open. There will also be the usual MiniConf short talks, separate to the build project, which won't require special signup. Hope to see many of you there! Angus PS Unfortunately the SimpleBot Pi is not 100% Open Hardware, not least because it's Raspberry Pi based. We'd love for it to be 100% Open Hardware, but time & cost restrictions conspired against us this time. There are three different Open Hardware designs incorporated in the SimpleBot Pi - Freetronics PiLeven, the SimpleBot Shield, and the SimpleBot mechanical design itself.

That's difficult to answer :-) which makes it a good question. I *never* saw CACert as a way to get "free SSL" certificates; although that outcome was initially an expected benefit of CACert, it has never materialised, for a whole bunch of reasons, some good, some bad. So if your understanding of CACert is "free SSL" it isn't relevant, especially if letsencrypt.org gets traction (although note that you already have startssl.com to turn to if you know how to drive the command line) What CACert is really, is a community that has strong identification of its members. The process of understanding what identification actually is, and how it needs to be done in the current world, to me is very valuable as a infosec practitioner. So I treat it as a learning experience, rather than as a technical output provider. In many ways the identity requirements of CACert are similar to Debian's use of the OpenPGP web of trust, only much more stringent. -jim From josh at postgresql.org Fri Dec 19 09:58:27 2014 From: josh at postgresql.org (Josh Berkus) Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2014 14:58:27 -0800 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] Any interest in a Saltstack BoF?

Website: http://wharf2wharf.co.nz/ There's a special ferry run from CBD to the Island in time for the start of the race. Read the fine print etc. The ferry terminal is within walking distance from conference venue.

YMCA Marathon running club. http://www.ymcamarathon.org.nz/ Runners: Every Sunday from 7am. Get there by 6:45am for the 7am start. According to the website the walkers don't start till 26 Jan. Starts from the YMCA gym at the corner of Pitt St + Greys Ave. Map on the website or https://plus.google.com/100792633212715020109/about?hl=en There's a YMCA hostel nearby. Check the website for for more details. You run at the pace you're comfortable with. Fastest pace is sub 4:30/km down to 7:00/km pace. Distance is 21 - 33kms depending on who sets the route that day. I checked with one of the club members. It is still free to join in for 2 - 3 times before they start asking you to consider joining the club. If you bring a bag with a change of clothes + towel, you can use the showers after the run (or my friend runs home to get his shower there). c. Domain 10k run http://www.ymcamarathon.org.nz/events/summer-10k-series/ Auckland Domain is almost next door to the conference venue. 10km, 6km, 3km for runners & walkers.

I'd be happy for a quick lunchtime key signing and have any extended talk about key signing best practices happen during the personal crypto BoF on Tuesday. From past years history half of the BoF has been the keyisgning it's self and half with talking about GPG keysigning in general - usually resulting with the entire thing running over time.

Hah, yeah right! I suppose if you have a soldering reflow station manufactured by a little known Bulgarian manufacturer that has superior temperature tracking when compared to a Hakko, sure, you're probably going to be SOL. If, on the other hand, you bought your soldering iron from a hobbyist supply store, you stand a good chance of finding a tip at Jaycar. regards From thomas.sprinkmeier at gmail.com Tue Dec 23 18:33:27 2014 From: thomas.sprinkmeier at gmail.com (Thomas Sprinkmeier) Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2014 18:03:27 +1030 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] [Chat] Flying with soldering irons In-Reply-To: References: <5498BDB6.2000005@blemings.org> <5498BE86.2080802@nerdvana.org.au> <5498E637.1020808@nerdvana.org.au> Message-ID: <54991AC7.2000907@gmail.com> On 12/23/14 14:25, Mike Carden wrote: > I have flown with all manner of tools but always in my checked luggage.

I put all my tools in checked luggage a couple days ago. no issues. soldering iron and no end of pointy stuff. Batteries and six kilos of random loose electronic components in carry on, didn't bat an eyelid. There are specific and inconsistent rules about the amount of watt hours of battery you can bring carry on, varies depending on carrier. From memory all luggage was x-rayed when I traveled to NZ last. no issues with tools then. regards, Kim From josh at zindello.com.au Tue Dec 23 18:48:08 2014 From: josh at zindello.com.au (Joshua Mesilane) Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2014 18:48:08 +1100 Subject: [LCA2015-Chat] [Chat] Flying with soldering irons In-Reply-To: References: <5498BDB6.2000005@blemings.org> <5498BE86.2080802@nerdvana.org.au> <5498E637.1020808@nerdvana.org.au> <54991AC7.2000907@gmail.com> Message-ID: Checked baggage works ... if you have checked baggage ;) For a 1 week trip I travel fairly light, read: extremely light.

If you have ever sat in LCA and thought it'd be fun to be involved or wanted to introduce a new aspect to the conference, then this is your chance. LCA roams to cities based off bids it receives from local volunteer organisers 2 years in advanced. If you'd like to see it come to your city in 2018 then now is the time to start thinking about it and talking to your friends about being involved. During LCA at Auckland we'll hold an informal BoF to go over the bid process, what is involved in running the conference and have an opportunity for discussion. Due to the busy social calendar and popularity of already scheduled BoF's I'm proposing we meet up during one of the breaks. Picking an arbitrary one, lets meet at 12:20 on Wednesday (14th Jan) in one of the theatres or nearby areas (TBA closer).

My first was in Dunedin, so it's nice to be heading back to NZ. One of the things that makes LCA so special is the community around it, and I think that's worth reflecting on in advance of the miniconf on Tuesday 13 Jan. The wikipage is the goto place to get started. https://linux.conf.au/wiki/Community_Leadership_Summit_X This will be an "unconference". We'll be setting the agenda on the day, but keeping to the break times designated by the conference. For those of you've attended the Community Leadership Summit that takes place before OSCON in Portland each year, this should feel familiar. For those who haven't, there's a wealth of background information if you're curious. http://www.communityleadershipsummit.com/ And in particular, the ongoing forum here: http://communityleadershipforum.com/ cheers Donna -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
