12:30 - 13:00
Room: Main hall **What is the Open Documentation Academy?** Open Documentation Academy is an initiative founded by Canonical’s documentation team with the key aim of lowering the barrier to open source contributions and we have chosen documentation as the channel to achieve this goal. **Who can participate?** Anyone who is interested in contributing to open source and documentation can participate. The experience level of participants is not a barrier as we welcome everyone from newcomers to experts. **Why documentation?** Documentation is at its heart, an engineering practice but rarely is seen as one. It exists to serve as the bridge between the product and the users. In a way, product documentation is a way of showing our users how much we care about them and how we value them. What better way exists to further the values of open source and community than to use such a key channel as documentation, something that will make a direct impact on the product’s users, something that will influence how the users perceive the product, something that could potentially shape the way the product is developed? Also, contributing to documentation is a way that welcomes people from all areas of the spectrum irrespective of their experience level or programming skills. **I am interested, how do I get started?** We already have a task list open and we have our public documentation office hours every Friday. In addition to that, we have public channels of communication on Matrix, discourse and Fosstodon. We also have a mailing list that is actively monitored. We will share more details on these channels during the talk.

13:00 - 13:30
Room: Main hall Have you already thought about how the applications we develop get distributed to end users? Often developers only provide the source code. So for not so tech-savvy users the major distributions need to pick up projects and package it, and maintain it for new releases. This is why there is a need for distribution-independent, secure, and easy-to-use packaging, like on smartphones. This exists also for Linux ... Among the options, there is [**Snap**](https://snapcraft.io/about)! Applications are easy to find in the Snap Store and they are installable on most Linux distributions. And, to make Linux even easier for end users, we cannot only provide applications in the Snap format, but also have an **all-Snap operating system, [Ubuntu Core Desktop](https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-core-desktop-deep-dive/)**, an [immutable core operating system](https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-core-an-immutable-linux-desktop) based on Snap. And here we do not only have Snaps of desktop applications, but also system applications and components (like the printing stack), the kernel, the desktop environment (like GNOME or KDE), the boot loader, and the core system. So everything can get easily updated or replaced by alternatives, and in case of failure one can easily revert (on boot failure we revert automatically). All this is based on the knowledge and experience we gained at Canonical when creating the smartphone operating system [Ubuntu Touch](https://ubports.com/). After the phone project having been discontinued we started with the IoT system Ubuntu Core, snapped desktop applications, ...

16:20 - 17:50
Room: Main Hall Spinning a Kubernetes cluster from scratch – the task often perceived as daunting, intricate, and fraught with operational challenges. But is it really as complex as it's made out to be? In this talk, we'll delve deep into the world of Kubernetes cluster management, unraveling the myths and realities of 'ranching' a cluster. We begin by exploring the common challenges faced in Kubernetes cluster management, from initial setup to scaling and maintenance. This includes addressing concerns around deployment, networking, security, and resource optimisation. By examining real-world case studies, we'll demonstrate how these challenges manifest in different environments and under varying workloads. Furthermore, we'll also look at the evolution of Kubernetes and how its growing ecosystem is shaping the future of cluster management. Are there emerging trends or tools that could make 'ranching' a cluster easier than ever before? The key benefit to the Kubernetes ecosystem lies in its comprehensive approach to demystifying Kubernetes cluster management. It serves to clarify common misconceptions regarding "Kubernetes the hard way", thereby becoming an invaluable resource for newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. By sharing practical solutions and best practices, the talk aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of cluster management across various environments. This session will not only encourage more informed decision-making among Kubernetes administrators and developers but also stimulate community engagement and collaboration. Covering a range of Rancher open source tools, the talk ensures relevance to diverse workloads and operational scales, contributing to the development of more secure and high-performing Kubernetes environments.

My Creative Journey and Why Ubuntu Studio Is A Great Choice for Creative Linux Newcomers (Content and Design)
- Bayu Aji
10:20 - 10:50
Room: Main hall In the last four years, the demand for creative and related fields has rose sharply. The post-pandemic era has made people more aware of the potential of creative roles, coupled with the increased use of the internet and online media which has made competition in the creative sector increasingly tighter both offline and online. To be able to compete, someone in the creative field is required to master various tools and have a ready-to-use set of software to work with. This is where I chose Ubuntu Studio as my operating system which has accompanied my career since the beginning until now as a graphic designer and illustrator. In this session, I will talk about my career journey as a graphic designer using Ubuntu Studio and how this distro makes my work in the creative field easier. Also, I will explain to the audience why Ubuntu Studio can be a good choice for newcomers, especially those who are in the creative field.

6 little-known features: How to make the most out of Launchpad (Cloud and Infrastructure)
- Guruprasad Lakshmi Narayanan (Canonical)
11:35 - 12:05
Room: Main hall [Launchpad](https://launchpad.net) is an open source suite of tools that help people and teams to collaborate on software projects and distributions. Launchpad is the centerpiece of Ubuntu development and provides various features and tools to develop and release every Ubuntu version and maintain it. But Launchpad is also free to use for all open source projects and there are many projects that are hosted on Launchpad. Launchpad offers various features like code hosting (git and bazaar), bug tracking etc. But it has a lot of powerful and useful features that aren't well-known. This talk will shed some light on some of those lesser-known features. ## Bug tracker federation Launchpad is good at handling aggregate distributions of software, tracking and federating information with other places where similar software is maintained - for example remote bug tracking or groups of projects or a distribution in Launchpad itself, which allows tracking things across multiple entities all in one place. For example, [this bug](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zeromq3/+bug/1811531) tracks the status of a remote execution vulnerability in the `zeromq3` package in Suse, Debian, and Ubuntu. For more details, see https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/MultiProjectBugs. ## Launchpad build infrastructure Launchpad has a huge build farm with hundreds of builders for 8 architectures, that are capable of building various artifacts like deb packages, snaps, charms, OCI images etc. This infrastructure is provided for use by the Ubuntu and Launchpad user community to reliably build, package, and publish software for various architectures and platforms free of cost. The `riscv64` architecture, which is the current/next hot architecture in the industry and was restricted to builds from trusted users only, is now open for everyone. ## Recipes Launchpad also makes it easy to automate building these types of packages using recipes. There is support for creating recipes for deb packages, snaps, charms etc., that allow automating the building and publishing of software packages of various formats, whenever a change to the associated VCS repository is made. This allows developers to ship changes to users quickly. Even if the source is hosted outside Launchpad, recipes can be set up on Launchpad by setting up a code import for the external repository and setting up the recipe to use that for the builds. ## Archive snapshots Since Launchpad is the platform and the engine powering Ubuntu development, release and maintenance processes, it tracks the details about every package uploaded to the Ubuntu archive or to PPAs and maintains the history of every change. With that, Launchpad is able to provide a point-in-time state information about the Ubuntu archive or a PPA. Using this, we now have an archive snapshot service for the Ubuntu archive and the PPAs at [snapshot.ubuntu.com](https://snapshot.ubuntu.com) and [snapshot.ppa.launchpadcontent.net](https://snapshot.ppa.launchpadcontent.net) respectively. We are working on extending this to various other archives like the ones corresponding to ESM and Ubuntu Pro. ## Launchpad CI Launchpad has a built-in CI functionality that is powered by [lpci](https://lpci.readthedocs.io). It is already being used by a lot of projects in the community for running pre-merge checks on their merge proposals. We are working on adding more useful features to it and making it better. ## Automation using the Launchpad API Did you know that Launchpad has a comprehensive API, documented at https://api.launchpad.net, that allows doing almost everything that can be done via the browser using a Launchpad account with the relevant permissions? Launchpad provides a Python library, `launchpadlib`, a useful interactive command-line utility `lp-shell` to play with the API easily.
