End of October turns out to be one of the highs when it comes to workload this year. Everything happens at once – there are two public events that I’d like to tell you about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first one is running lights<\/a>. This is an annual running competition organized by AIF Friidrott, the sports club my kids are active in. This year, this means organized by me and postponed due to COVID-19, but the virtual races started this weekend and the arena race will take place on the 24th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anyone of you are in the Alings\u00e5s area<\/a> and enjoy I highly recommend you to join. The weather looks nice, and we will light up the arena with live fire, so it will be a great evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second one is the foss-north 2020 take II<\/a> event. This spring, we decided to try to organize a physical foss-north event this fall, as obviously the pandemic must be over by November. This seems to not be the case. :-)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Instead we are running a single day event on November 1 with six handpicked speakers. The event is virtual and free for all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to tell you about the speakers one by one, because I’m very excited about each and everyone of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Andrew<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the morning we welcome Bunnie Huang<\/a> who will talk about the precursor project. Precursor<\/a> is an open hardware platform for secure, mobile communications and computations. The focus is on security aiming to create a trustable platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Simon<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next up is Simon Ser<\/a>. He will talk about how to get pixels onto the screen in a modern Linux stack. This means a deep dive in the Kernel Mode Setting<\/a> (KMS) interface. How it exposes hardware blocks and how to use it to get images shown on the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ram\u00f3n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The morning session then ends with Ram\u00f3n Soto Mathiesen<\/a> taking us into the land of Domain Driven Design (DDD) using Algebraic Data Types (ADT). Ram\u00f3n has a background in functional programming languages and brings this knowledge into the world of multi-paradigm languages such as C#, Rust, and Swift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Carol<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The afternoon session starts with Carol Chen<\/a> from Red Hat Ansible. She works as a community manager for Ansible. She will be talking about how they move have moved from collections to contributions to conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lars<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We then continue with Lars Brinkhoff<\/a> who will talk about the Incompatible Timesharing System<\/a> (ITS). Lars works with restoring ITS and recreating the history from these early days of computing. ITS is of particular interest at foss-north at is the platform where tools such as Lisp, Logo, Scheme, Emacs and Zork where developed. This is where the foundations for the free software movement where born – quite literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tor-logo<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The day then ends with Alexander and Georg<\/a> who will talk about Tor, the anonymity network. They will discuss why diversity is essential for reaching security and anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the next days will be crazy hectic, but it is all for something good. First a cosy evening of running on an arena lit by live fire, and then a day of talks about various FOSS projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
