Many companies have copied the fork-and-pull-request model from open source because it works so well, even for closed-source projects. So why are company processes and policies written in isolation with no collaboration? I'll present New Relic's implementation of an open-source-inspired workflow that drives all of our internal company processes. about this event: http://programm.froscon.de/2015/ev...

In this hour long presentation, we consider weaknesses in the pipeline of advancing sensor developments and demonstrate passive and active attacks on hypothetical critical infrastructure using real sensor devices. This presentation does not use scare tactics, but rather hacks along in a playful and humorous way. about this event: http://programm.froscon.de/2015/events/1692.html

Zwei Jahre nach der Ankündigung erschien Anfang 2015 das erste Ubuntu Phone vom spanischen Hersteller bq. Doch was verbirgt sich hinter dem System? Wie sieht die Nutzung aus und wie viel von Ubuntu steckt wirklich in dem Smartphone-Betriebssystem? about this event: http://programm.froscon.de/2015/events/1503.html

Open source is built on volunteer hours. Using best practice in creating and reviewing patches means we're making the most of those volunteer hours - both from contributors but also from those overworked maintainers. about this event: http://programm.froscon.de/2015/events/1622.html

Das Dateisystem btrfs hat Einzug in den Enterprise-Breich gehalten. SUSE Linux Enterprise verwendet es bereits als Standarddateisystem. Dieser Vortrag bietet einen Überblick über die Features von btrfs: Wandlung bestehender ext3/4 Dateisysteme nach btrfs, Multi-Device-Dateisysteme, Subvolumes, Snapshots und Copy-on-Write. Andererseits werden auch die Einschränkungen beleuchtet, die der Betrieb von...

Tech companies that want to stay relevant better learn to learn. More specifically they need employees that learn fast and share their knowledge. But how to make time for that? We invest 10% of our time to hold an Open Space every other Friday. We're still thrilled with the results! about this event: http://programm.froscon.de/2015/events/1600.html

Linux and Open Source Software have always played a crucial role in data centers to provide storage in various ways. In this talk, Lenz will give an overview of how storage on Linux has evolved over the years, from local file systems to scalable file systems, logical volume managers and cluster file systems to today's modern file systems and distributed, parallel and fault-tolerant file systems. a...

When working with webservers it's sometimes necessary to introduce some dynamic parts in the life cycle of an HTTP process. nginx provides this possibilities with an integration of Lua. On the example of dynamic SSL certificate creation we explore the capabilities of Lua within the core of nginx. about this event: http://programm.froscon.de/2015/events/1609.html

After our Talk in the Track "Failosophy" on Sunday, we will discuss four different options to proceed with this project in the future. We would love to hear your opinion and receive your input. about this event:

Let's Encrypt is a new free and automated certificate authority, launching in summer 2015. This talk will explain how Let's Encrypt works, and show you how to use it to automate HTTPS on a range of different Web, mail and other server types. It will cover obtaining new certificates, renewing them automatically, and enabling various advanced TLS security features. We also discuss the roadmap to a W...

Our understanding of the universe has exploded in the past 50 years, largely thanks to incredible advances in detector technology that allow us to precisely measure light and particles of all kinds. In this talk, I will describe some of the world's most sensitive detector technologies. These detectors often exploit strange properties of matter, or push up against the laws of physics in the most ex...

Satellite imagery has been used since the 1960s to monitor agricultural activities at a national and international level. It is only now that the image quality and cost feasibility have made satellite imagery available to individual farmers in application to crop quality analysis, yield prediction, and other measures related to precision farming. Farmers can now pinpoint problem areas of their fie...

In the United States, people increasingly understand that local police departments often possess high-tech military grade weapons and equipment designed for the battlefield. But what people don’t realize is that the same police departments often also possess very sophisticated surveillance technology that can be used to monitor, track and record the population as we all go about our everyday activ...

A whirlwind tour of the past, present, and future for artificial general intelligence (also known as strong AI). This talk will begin with Alan Turing's original test. This is not the same as *the* Turing test everyone has heard of. We will look at the current state of the art covering such topics as: * How old does a human have to be to beat the current state of the art AI in answering science qu...

With the more widespread use of encrypted HTTPS connections many software vendors intercept these connections by installing a certificate into the user's browser. This is widely done by Antivirus applications, parental filter software or ad injection software. This can go horribly wrong, as the examples of Superfish and Privdog have shown. But even if implemented properly these solutions almost al...

In the summer of 2013, Guardian employees destroyed computers storing top secret documents from Snowden, on instruction and supervision from GCHQ. With access to the destroyed pieces, we investigated what GCHQ's instructions were and what we can learn from it about securely eradicating data on a machine. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/camp/2015/Fahrplan/events/6799.html

FPGAs are becoming more and more common in research and industrial projects. They are mostly used to accelerate problems of High Performance Computing. But standard personal computers can also benefit from them, e.g. with cryptographic accelerators, additional processor cores, hardware for special projects. This talk describes possible benefits for FPGAs in General Purpose Computing, and their req...

In this talk we'll go through many examples of targeted surveillance employed by governments all around the world and we'll try to understand the taxonomy and nature of these attacks from a technical and from a political perspective. We'll find that many share common characteristics and that in many cases we have the capacity to identify, track and stop these attacks, often directed against journa...

Bio-fuels from waste can be part of the solution to stabilize climate change, but inaction by governments and industry means such fuels are not readily available. This talk will outline work being done to solve this problem at a personal level, by producing open source designs for equipment for local production of bio-fuels. about this event: https://events.ccc.de/camp/2015/Fahrplan/events/6798.ht...
