The aim of this project is to create a device that collects air polution data (PM10 and PM25 fine dust) and is mounted on bicycles to crowdsource factual air pollution information in and around the city of Ghent, Belgium.

Distributed Research Infrastructures are built to support scholars from various disciplines in their work. In the case of CENDARI, a toolset aimed at historians has been developed with support by the European Comission. We will explain how popular open source solutions like Jenkins and Puppet have been employed in building the infrastructure, which is composed of open source applications, both exi...

Buy hardware, write software -- this is the basic rule we in the FLOSS community followed for many years. But things are changing. Today it is easier than ever before to create own digital hardware, aka. "chips." In this talk I'll show give a introduction into what (in terms of tools, knowledge and other factors) is required to get a digital hardware design up and running. I'll also show how to ge...

This is a summary of the infrastructure that GNOME provides to store secrets like passwords, SSH and GPG keys, and X.509 certificates. Our infrastructure is more or less adequate within GNOME, but it interfaces poorly with other pieces of infrastructure that people use, like Firefox, 2-Factor Authentication hardware, and password managers for mobile devices. We will describe some use cases and som...

Have you ever wondered what the GNOME Foundation actually does? What do the employees do to keep the Foundation running? I will cover the details on what is required to keep the Foundation active and solvent. Come see the challenges we face and maybe even see what you can do to help! about this event: https://c3voc.de

The roots of the Internet can be found in the move from large mainframes to smaller and locally connected machines (Unices or VAXen) Unix. Obviously there was a need to connect to remote machines in a convenient way and not only with manually managed uucp networks. Eventually in the mid 90ies decentralization was achieved and directly visible due to Gopher and the Web. With the move of the big sea...

An important aspect of humane interfaces is meeting the needs of a variety of people. They all have different skills, restrictions and whims. How do you figure out what exactly those are? In this presentation I'll talk about how I used user interviews and personas for that purpose, using them as tools for discussions and implementation of Public Transportation in GNOME Maps. about this event: http...

The traditional model of a GNOME desktop is tightly tied to the traditional model of a Linux distribution: many packages that are individually installed onto the users system; some are low-level system services, some are core desktop components, and some are applications. While in some ways very flexible, this model is also fragile: the continuing correct operation of the system depends on a compl...

Endless devices include a lot of content downloaded from the internet so people without internet connections can have access to it. We create lots of apps to organize and present the content. We are creating a "modular" system for putting together apps quickly, and it's built on GTK. (Think one level higher than GTK widgets.) I'll talk about what such a system should and shouldn't do, and about pu...

China is becoming a huge user of open source software. The Chinese government doesn't only claim not to not use Windows 8, but also encourage the use of Linux, like the city of Munich. All require a customized GNOME Desktop. We need to discuss how to meet a market of millions of desktops. about this event: https://c3voc.de

"ZeMarmot" is a project of 2D animation movie, to be released under CC By-SA/Free Art licenses and fully made with creative Free Software. In particular, it is currently fully digitally drawn on GIMP, video-edited in Blender and sound-edited with Ardour. Our desktop of choice is GNOME, under a GNU/Linux operating system. We will present the film project and its status, what happened in the last ye...

With the success of connected cars, there is an increasing demand for a secure, consumer-oriented infotainment platform. The open source application framework "Apertis" serves as embedded end-to-end solution in the automotive environment. With many contributions to the GNOME technologies over the years and its own Free software components, Apertis is truly a unique product in the automotive world...

While there have been great strides in building the GTK+ stack on Windows, cross-building for Windows from Linux is still the easiest way for most developers to build their applications. I will demonstrate, using the Fedora MinGW project, how to build a GTK+ application, including a simple installer to bundle all the dependencies into a single distributable file. about this event: https://c3voc.de
