When you're shipping a product or service -- or a resource that doesn't fit into either category -- you can do a lot of technical work that protects your users behind the scenes. But it's just as important to communicate security and privacy principles to your users, empowering them to take control of their own exposure. Many open-source tools end up being used by people who are less tech-savvy than the creators, and the more accessible you make your security and privacy features, the better.

Designing, when you are a programmer, can be super intimidating. This talk will highlight the best ways to improve your design and UX skills so you can create an interfaces that are usable and at least semi-attractive without hiring a designer — guaranteed no designer-y jargon.

The U.S. Department of Commerce collects, processes and disseminates data on a range of issues that impact our nation. Having a host of data and ensuring that this data is open and accessible to all are two separate issues. This session will cover the Commerce Data Usability Project (CDUP) - a community-driven public-private partnership to help data scientists, programmers and other users to access open knowledge from our open data.

Shaking the world of many mobile developers and startups, Facebook announced Parse was shutting down in 2017. Alongside that announce, parse-server was released on github. We'll discuss in that session the impact it had on the community of developers as well as the bright future open source givers to the popular backend.

HashiCorp has built and released eight different large open source tools over the past 4 years. These tools receive millions of downloads per month, all while spanning three separate user types: developers, operators, and security.
I am often asked what the process is like from start to ship: how did we come up with an idea? how did we design our solution? why did we choose to do something the way we did? how do we maintain eight projects at scale? and so on. This talk presents the process we go through at HashiCorp when designing a new project. This process doesn't require a lot of money or a group of people: I built Vagrant in my dorm room in college! I'll cover idea discovery, technical decisions, user experience design, and more.

Learning to code is complicated. Between Googling your way and figuring it out on your own, military veterans now have a resource at the ready. Is it an open source project? Is it a community of military veterans learning to code? Is it a community of software developers that want to give back? A coding nonprofit? It's all of the above.

Getting people to agree to things is sometimes hard. But implementing consensus with computers is harder. And distributed consensus with computers is really hard. How do we do it?
In this talk, we’ll explore one idea of how distributed consensus can work, which the authors call Raft, with several popular open-source implementations. Along the way, we’ll learn about why consensus is challenging, how Raft works in practice, and see a real live example of a system that depends on Raft.

From 'Space Oddity' to 'Blackstar', Bowie inspired us with his diverse personas. What can natural language processing reveal about those iconic characters? That's the mission of 'Ziggy' a little Python app that builds a database of lyrics, and digs into the style and tone of writing within them. This session explores the findings, and shows how it works. We'll consider real world use cases, and future iterations.

Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. Behind the scenes, Rust is also a community that nurtures new contributors, consistently enforces its code of conduct, and maintains a high-quality codebase. This talk will discuss the implementation details, as well as the social motivations and effects, of the customized infrastructure and workflow practices which allow the small core team to have such a significant impact.

The modern web stack is made up of a dozen different systems, but too few people know how to create and support them. I believe this is because systems programming has historically had too many barriers to entry, such as memory safety and the trading of expressiveness for performance. Let us explore some of the ways Rust breaks down these barriers and can make systems programming feel much more approachable to web developers

After years of searching, I have found the perfect programming language. It is capable of anything, and is all things to all people. Unfortunately, I'd have to recommend that you don't use it. In this talk, I'll share the language with you, describe its design and history, and explain why using it is a terrible idea.

Over the past several years companies around the world have starting using OpenStack and working with partners to provide internal cloud solutions. However, these solutions leverage proprietary components, from platforms developed in house to manage resources to working with vendors who come in with their own solutions. It doesn't necessarily have to be this way. Over the past year I've worked on two major projects that leveraged the official, open source Puppet modules for OpenStack to produce fully open source OpenStack clouds use for training and in production. The tooling is relatively easy to learn and in both cases the teams developing the clouds it were distributed. I'll be diving into the basics of both these projects, challenges the teams working on them faced and overcame, and how we've been able to work with the OpenStack project directly to improve the deployment story for all users.
