Open Build Service frontend was started in 2005, even before the first version of Rails was released. It is most likely one of the oldest Rails Project that people still keep using! That implies that legacy code and refactoring are two daily topics in all OBS developers’ lives. As said, OBS has already some years and because of that all kind of talks about it have been held: how to use it, its fea...

If you've never used it before, Docker can be a little overwhelming. There is new vocabulary to learn, new commands to memorize, and new files to add to each project. Most resources fall into one of two camps: they teach you the bare bones of Docker but still leave you with too many questions to comfortably try it on your own, or they throw you into the deep end by assuming you're more familiar wi...

The Heroes were founded two years ago. In this time, we worked hard to maintain and enhance the openSUSE infrastructure, but talking about that would be boring. Of course, if you do a lot of things, you'll sometimes also make mistakes. Have a lot of fun with some of our failures, what we learned from them and where we still have room for improvement. The Heroes were founded two years ago. In this...

In a way, both Docker and Tor are shrouded in mystery. Containers have been the biggest thing in the IT field in the past few years and yet a lot of people don't know what they are good for. Why not just use a VM? Likewise, Tor is known only for the negative uses and connotations such as "The Dark Web" and "The Deep Web" meanwhile not many people know about the actual positives of the technology w...

What to do and what not to do in order to collaborate remotely on Django projects without losing your mind Remote working and “smart working” is very much in fashion these days, but what does it entail for the daily routing of a distributed development team? We will talk about tools, the disputed use of email, Skype, Slack but more specifically about time management, what you can expect from yours...

The topic of additional repositories comes up on a regular basis. The official position is to submit everything to Factory to avoid the issue, but for a large number of reasons this cannot always be the case. As such users living in the real world have to navigate the unsupported landscape. By far the best approach is to use repository priorities available through libzypp, but unfortunately this i...

SVG is magical when you think about it. It's one of the few formats both developers and designers can interact with. With the rise of SVG compatibility on the web, the format has enjoyed various new use cases with the HTML5 specification. Could it be used as a common file format both designers and developers can collaborate together? As SVG is basically just lines of code, shouldn't designers bene...

We all know that remembering passwords is hard, so why not leave it to someone else? In this talk, I would like to introduce how we improved our social authentication system in our Django applications at Prezi with the aid of the Python Social Auth package. After a long time coming, we at Prezi introduced social authentication using Google mid last year. This seemingly trivial problem soon became...

Kdump is a vital tool for debugging severe kernel crashes, especially if the failure can't be reproduced easily or an direct access to the system is not possible. When an sever error happens in the kernel, a new crash kernel get loaded which saves the memory of the crashed system. These dump can be used to analyze the state of the machine and hopefully give insights on what has happened. This talk...

Software development is often seen as a young person's game. But what if, as you get older, you want to keep at the keyboard? Thoughts from a (now) veteran developer on building your career in software development for the long-haul. This is a community talk. My favourite topics from DjangoConEU 2017 were the non-technical talks. The most interesting (on-topic) conversations I had were about the no...

I'm aiming to show how avoid spelling errors by showing ways to implement automated spell-checking. Nearly all Django applications have two main textual bodies that users come in touch with: First, any text in the application and its translation, second the documentation. Since both are usually written by humans, they will contain spelling errors. This is considered harmful and can from time to ti...

A new EU regulation comes into effect in the middle of this conference. Here is an overview of what is required and how you can use Django to comply. From 25 May 2018, anyone collecting personal data on European Union residents will have to follow a number of new rules, some of which are pretty far-reaching. The new rules are however simple enough to understand, and as professionals, getting on to...

AMO - https://addons.mozilla.org/ was originally written as a PHP web application, ported to Python / Django 1.1 in 2010, more or less maintained over time and only recently got much more traction because of Firefox Quantum and Mozilla's move to WebExtensions. The talk will show our approach to maintaining very old code, handling refactoring, adding new features as well as feature/code removal whi...

In this talk you will hear about the importance of organizing conferences for school learners, how you can go about organizing one, what you need to do and what you need to avoid as you prepare the conference, how to engage with school teachers as a software developer, what the results of such conferences could bring out in our children and many more. The poor quality of the software developers in...

We take a look at Channels 2.0 and the changes it brings by going fully async, examining not only why the change makes things better, but also how we've managed to bridge between Django's synchronous world and the async world, and what the future might hold for Django and Channels. The Channels project has taken a major turn with version 2.0, embracing Python's async functionality and building app...
