Many of us had to overcome obstacles in order to enter the tech industry.
Consider someone who was raised in a mountainous remote area of Namibia and has no idea what technology is; our parents never had access to technology, never used tech gadgets, and had never heard of anything called an open source project. As an African child, I emerged from my rural world, rode my beloved donkey cart,...

We'll briefly cover the similarities and differences between application containers, system containers, and VMs then we'll shift our focus...
Usually we think to open source projects as efforts done by developers for developers. But that should, and not always is , the case.
If we want to expand the potential outreach of Open Source projects it's vital to onboard a diverse and multidisciplinary team of contributors.
This is the effort we have been doing in the past years and we will share some insights and suggestions, aimed...

The Ubuntu family is broad enough that the variants -- think of the K, L, and X flavors -- have their own particular needs and disires for their ISO images. The installer application that gets the ISO data onto a target computer is one point of variation. While Ubuquity is the uniquitous installer for Ubuntu, some variants have picked up Calamares instead.
Calamares is a distro- and...
We all know that developing cross platform GUI apps with Flutter is an amazing experience. The not so long ago announced stable support for the major desktop platforms was a big achievement for the community, expanding the audiences for our applications.

Join us for a hands-on workshop. We help you get started!
Having great visibility into what's going on in your project is your secret weapon. If you've ever found out something is broken by chance, because you clicked a link and saw a big red X, or if your users have to tell you about problems before you know about them, then you're suffering from a lack of visibility.
In this talk we'll see how this idea can be applied to just one area of...

In late 2020 our team was evaluating the options for our next generation platform for our ever expanding fleet of gateways. Included in that was that we were going to be adding a custom hardware target into the mix in addition to all of our existing Dell 3001s. With an incredibly resource constrained team we chose to move from Ubuntu Server to Ubuntu Core.
The reasons for this are numerous:...
Developing open-source applications allows us to reach a broader audience than we originally could think of. But not all consumers of our application are developers or maintainers, thus we need to provide easy ways to install and use our application. After all, the user experience starts with the discovery and installation of the app.
Let's explore together how we can package a Flutter app...

The expected outcome is happy snapcrafters, and more interesting apps in the snap store.
The focus of Juju has always been on the reliable and secure operation of applications. It does not provide generic abstractions for creating and managing arbitrary cloud resources outside of the scope of the applications it’s driving. Cloud-specific resources can be created by charms, but often when deploying Charmed solutions into the enterprise, there is existing infrastructure it must...

From social events, to teaching classes in on master degrees, online...
Community management has never been what those in the know would consider an “easy” job - attracting & keeping contributors, mitigating corporate project take-overs, keeping projects “alive" once they’ve reached a development peak - these are just a few common, but still nightmarish hurdles we regularly have to find our way over. Well, things were made exponentially more complicated when the...
An overview of the OpenRazer project providing support for many (gaming) peripherals by Razer.

In this talk I will discuss Flutter support on Linux including the history of how we got here, how Flutter works on Linux, what libraries are available for Linux integration and some examples of Flutter apps that work on Linux.
A kernel livepatch is a powerful feature that allows to patch of a kernel at the runtime. Thanks to kernel livepatch, millions of servers over the world can work continuously without reboots.
In this presentation, I will discuss how the kernel livepatching works under the hood. What are the limitations of the livepatch and what hurdles lurk when preparing a livepatch.
I will also show how to...
In this short talk I'm going to present the work the Ubuntu Desktop Team did in collaboration with Mozilla developers to enable native messaging in the Firefox snap.
This is made up of several pieces, including a new WebExtensions portal, and changes in Firefox to make use of the portal where available.
I will demo the functionality with several extensions that require native messaging to...
Ever wondered what goes into creating a functional high-performance computing cluster that powers ground-breaking research and innovation every day? Then this is the workshop for you!
In this workshop, we will dive into the world of high-performance computing on Ubuntu by building our own HPC cluster on top of LXD. As we build the cluster, I will introduce and explain key concepts in HPC...
In this talk I'll be sharing my journey of starting a non-profit organization in Zimbabwe that teaches girls how to code. When I initially started trying to teach girls how to code, I started in the city and shared primarily with young women who were from fairly well off families. After some time I decided I wanted to help girls who were in areas of Harare that were underserved. I was...
In this session we present the latest and greatest in terms of development and debugging tools available to the fledgling and pro charmers.
Juju is complicated, and these tools aim to making developing charms easier, but not more obscure.
Therefore we will present the tools, but also explain why they work — and their limitations.
The presentation is structured as a tour of [jhack][1], a...
Profiling is all about measuring applications dynamically at runtime to understand their CPU usage, memory usage, and other important metrics. Profiling can yield deep insights about your application’s performance at runtime right down to the line of code that allocated some memory, or created a thread.
Previously profiling was almost always performed on a “point in time” basis; continuous...

Rust is now one of the leading choices for building reliable, performant, infrastructure applications. While Ubuntu today is the Linux distro of choice for developers.
In this presentation, I'd like to talk about our experience of building Parseable, a logging platform written in Rust - with Ubuntu not only as our development platform but also as the OS of choice for running in production...
Free software has become a mean for us to share our knowledge in a way that others can build upon and enjoy.
Almost 40 years ago, “Free Software”, as an idea was born. One year later, a human being came to life. The 2 grew up in completely different contexts.
In this story, we'll see how an idea developed in a one part of the planet, can have a massive influence on the life of one human...
The recent Uber and Revolut hacks revealed the importance of identity and access management as a way to protect against social engineering attacks and mitigate security breaches. We will show a live demo that will provide context around the usage of transparent proxies and demonstrate how a man-in-the-middle toolkit, like Evilginx or Muraena, can be used to steal sessions of popular online...
The talk would focus on my journey as an ubuntu-community contributor on the idea of introducing customization/personalization options (accent-colors, desktop-icons and ubuntu-dock) into ubuntu-desktop's settings app for the latest ubuntu LTS release (ubuntu 22.04).
key-points for the talk would be:
- giving a brief overview of the contributions.
- how it all began?
- what was the...
