DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will discuss the use of state-of-the-art machi
 ne learning techniques to analyze Debian mailing lists in order to discover
  political\, social\, and technical patterns that could be used to inform p
 roject decisions. I will concentrate on a class of techniques known as stat
 istical topic models\, which automatically infer groups of semantically-rel
 ated words\, known as topics\, from word co-occurrence patterns in document
 s. The resultant topics can then be used to detect emergent areas of techni
 cal activity\, identify subcommunities\, and track trends over time. In add
 ition to providing a brief overview of statistical topic models and their a
 pplication to Debian mailing list data\, I will present examples of topics 
 inferred from Debian mailing lists\, as well as some preliminary political\
 , social\, and technical findings discovered via these topics.

DESCRIPTION:The world is filled with consumer and web-focused federated aut
 hentication solutions. However as federations grow to hundreds of identity 
 providers\, enterprises begin to see strain of the current design. Moonshot
  combines four key security technologies (EAP\, SAML\, RADIUS and GSS-API) 
 to address these scaling challenges and to bring federation to any software
 \, not just the web browser. This talk describes the Moonshot technology as
  well as the ongoing community-driven free-software effort to realize the t
 echnology. One key focus is the role of Debian in particular and distributi
 ons in general in driving coherent technology evolution.

DESCRIPTION:Networking is still very much a domain in which big proprietary
  computing equipments dominate. The Linux kernel\, though\, has some very n
 eat networking features\, and is increasingly being used to replace those s
 ystems with something more open and more adaptable to "strange" needs. Duri
 ng this talk we will explore some less-known Linux networking features\, su
 ch as NBMA networks over unbound GRE tunnels\, policy routing\, or anycast 
 that will allow systems administrators to take control of the network\, and
  even sometimes make something slightly crazy with it\, and make some of th
 ose networking people\, who only trust those closed machines on which they'
 re certified\, a bit (or a lot) nervous.
SUMMARY:Interesting network features of your Debian system - or building bl
 ocks to design a system that will make your network administrators very ner

 ommunity\, with a target group of hundred of thousands ofusers.  It will fo
 cus on the challenges faced when providing theseservices and the almost exc
 lusive use of Debian to solve those.GRNET offers a multitide of services to
  its customers\, both on theInternet and computing fronts\, on a multi-vend
 or environment. Over twohundred physical servers and twice as that on virtu
 al servers are beingoperated by a handful of people\, all but few running D
 ebian.Topics that will be mentioned are ranging from networking monitoring 
 andidentity to virtualization and cloud. The use and integration ofmultiple
  free software components on a Debian platform to accomplishthose will be d
 escribed along with a focus on high availability andautomation of system ad
 ministration tasks out of necessity and theways and tools (e.g. d-i\, puppe

  team of the Greek Researchand Technology Network's Network Operations Cent
 er. He is also a Debian Developer.

DESCRIPTION:The GNU Telephony secure calling project\, built around GNU SIP
  Witch and the GNU ZRTP stack\, offers the means for anyone to create and d
 eploy network scalable and secure peer-to-peer VoIP collaboration solutions
  to enable privacy without the need for a central service provider\, undocu
 mented protocols\, or proprietary software to achieve these goals. Our over
 all vision is to facilitate both solutions that are privately built\, such 
 as for organizations that wish to have secure communication as a foundation
 \, and especially which can be autonomously assembled bottom-up directly by
  users over the public Internet as a full public alternative to Skype\, usi
 ng only free software and that depends purely on existing DNS for user look
 up\, rather than requiring a mediating service provider.

DESCRIPTION:This talk briefly introduces the history and the goals of the F
 reeBSD Project and its development model.For most of the history of the Fre
 eBSD Project\, FreeBSD was "the" distribution.  In recent years\, a number 
 of people have taken on the task of taking the FreeBSD operating system\, o
 r in the case of Debian only the kernel\, and making it part of a different
  project.  The FreeBSD Project encourages these endeavors and is pleased to
  see exposure to new environments.Debian/kFreeBSD is unique in the FreeBSD 
 distribution "ecosystem" in that it takes only the kernel and replaces the 
 entire userspace\, this poses some interesting new problems that we have no
 t seen in the past but also brings new opportunities.
SUMMARY:Debian/kFreeBSD from the FreeBSD Point of View - What is this FreeB
 SD thing anyway?

DESCRIPTION:Fully Automatic Installation (FAI) is a well-known project to a
 utomatically install multiple machines using Debian. Those machines can fur
 ther be kept uptodate via the "softupdate" mechanism. This has been proven 
 very successful for big cluster installation at acedemic institutions where
  the adminstrators have a good Linux/Unix background. However\, for small/m
 edium business or smaller acedemic work groups\, FAI might be to obscure or
  difficult to setup. The GOsa project provides an LDAP-based web administra
 tion tool to install\, configure and administrate machines via FAI. GOsa ma
 kes furthermore possible to administrate users and groups via the same LDAP
  backend\, and to some extent user sessions. This makes it possible for peo
 ple who are no specialists to administrate smaller sets of users and machin
 es via a centralized web frontend.This talk will present FAI and GOsa and e
 xplain how they work together and what is needed to install and adminstrate
  Debian machines via GOsa/FAI.

DESCRIPTION:Debian provides a base for many derivative distributions. These
  distributions are often run as distinct projects with their own goals\, bu
 t are nonetheless closely tied to Debian and depend on it in order to thriv
 e. Many of them face similar challenges in building on\, tracking and coord
 inating work with Debian itself. The purpose of this BoF is to share experi
 ences among derivatives\, identify common challenges and generate ideas for
  how to work better together with Debian.

DESCRIPTION:"Sita Sings the Blues" is a popular film released under a Creat

 onsciously chose a Free license in order to achieve the same dynamics for h
 er film as software has in the free software world\, and she succeeded.By t
 he end of 2009\, "Sita Sings the Blues" was the best-reviewed new release i
 n the country (http://moviereviewintelligence.com/index.aspx?BID=27&RID=805
 &CID=0) and audiences love it.  We will hold a talk afterwards with the fil
 mmaker and myself (Nina Paley is now artist-in-residence at our non-profit 
 QuestionCopyright.org\, and we helped her do the free release)\, both answe
 ring questions from the audience and talking about how free software method

DESCRIPTION:This talk provides a humorous description of an argument in fav
 or of Debian\, and free software more generally\, based on what I call "ant
 ifeatures:" functionality that users hate and that technology developers wi
 ll often charge users to not include. From DRM to crippled non-free operati
 ng systems to digital cameras\, I will show off many of the worst antifeatu
 res and\, describe how Debian and free software both makes them impossible 
 and helps users work around them.

DESCRIPTION:Some people among DebConf attendees like running. This year\, h
 aving DebConf in a big city opens new opportunities to those of us who like
  to have a break for their fingers and thus move their legs instead.On Thur
 sday August 5th 7pm\, a local group of runners (the Van Cortlandt Track Clu
 b) is organizgin one of its X-C Summer Series 5 kilometers cross-country ra
 ces.The race location is in Bronx\, in Van Cortlandt Park. More information
  can be found on the [Van Cortlandt Track Club website].Some of us will joi
 n there and participate to this race. Everybody who enjoys running can join
  in: there's nothing extra high level in this race which apparently gathers
  all kind of runners already. So\, don't be shy: even very occasionnal runn
 ers can make it and share some good time with local runners and fellow DebC
 onf attendees.The race registration fee is quite low (USD 5.-) and no pre-r
 egistration is needed\, though having a good idea of who is participating w
 ould be good.

DESCRIPTION:"Patent Absurdity: How software patents broke the system" explo
 res the case of software patents\, the history of judicial activism that le
 d to their rise\, and the harm being done to software developers and the wi
 der economy. The film\, directed by independent filmmaker Luca Lucarini and
  funded by a grant from the Free Software Foundation\, is based on a series
  of interviews conducted during the Supreme Court's review of in re Bilski\
 , a case that could have profound implications for the patenting of softwar
 e. The film was produced and edited using free software tools on GNU/Linux\
 , and is being distributed in the free Ogg Theora format. I had a part in i
 ts creation as part of my work at the FSF\, and could be available to answe
 r questions and give some background both about the process behind the film
  and an update on the work of the FSF's End Software Patents campaign. The 
 Bilski decision should have come down by the time Debconf happens\, so ther
 e should be much to talk about with regard to what the outcome means for pa
 tents\, free software\, and Debian. The film is about 30 minutes long.

DESCRIPTION:A common problem in any complex computational environments are 
 staleinstructions. Software systems change but their related instructionsar
 e left unmodified. This problem is made further complicated inDebian by the
  large number of human languages supported by theproject.Branavan et al. (2
 009) describe an automated way to translate human\,textual instructions int
 o executable actions. [1]Their approach involves reinforcement learning wit
 h no humanintervention\, by probing alternative interpretations of theinstr
 uctional text in a virtual machine. The computer learns whichdifferent acti
 ons (such as "choose third option from the menu")correspond to different En
 glish words in the instructions. Theirsystem also learns how to re-order in
 structions (as text presentationdoesn't necessarily imply execution order\,
  e.g. "click done afterselecting /dev/usb"). They are also making their cod
 e available(targeted towards a MS Windows VM). [2]In this talk\, I will ske
 tch their approach\, show a prototype of aDebian-adapted system and seek ou
 t collaborators to put this technology to use in different parts of the pro
 ject\, especially in d-i and i18n.[1] Reinforcement Learning for Mapping In

  ...). One long-standing issue is the fragmentation between the pkg-scicomp
  and debian-science Alioth projects.  Other agenda items will be discussed 
 prior to Debconf (and this abstract be updated).  Contact mbanck@debian.org
  if you want to participate as panel member in this event (everybody can pa

DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade the neuroimaging research community hasfor
 tunately converged on the open source software development model\,with the 
 vast majority of all widely used applications and librariesbeing available 
 as source code\, and a substantial proportion coveredby free software licen
 ses. Today\, there exists a large code base fordata collection (e.g. behavi
 oral psychological experiments)\, dataanalysis (e.g. of functional magnetic
  resonance imaging\; fMRI)\, anddata visualization that is productively use
 d in everyday researchactivities. A representative list of available tools 
 is provided onthe NITRC portal [0].Initially\, most of these tools were mer
 e by-products of actualneuroscience research projects\, developed by studen
 ts\, and scholarswho are\, in general\, not trained software engineers.  As
  a result\,software development in this field still differs significantly f
 romestablished good practices in the free and open source software(FOSS) co
 mmunity.  Many projects start without a clear deployment ormanagement conce
 pt\, and due to lack of man-power are later on forcedinto an \textit{ivory 
 tower development} model -- restricting the``supported'' environment as an 
 attempt to reduce the requiredmaintenance effort. They try to decouple them
 selves from ongoingdevelopments and include specific versions of all extern
 aldependencies into their source distributions.  The result is too oftena f
 ork that is no longer updated with bugfixes or enhancements. Manyuseful pro
 jects die because it becomes too expensive to update them.However\, it is h
 ard to blame the respective developers\, because thesheer number of existin
 g combinations of operating systems\, hardware\,and library versions makes 
 it almost impossible to verify that aparticular software is working as inte
 nded.  Restricting the``supported'' runtime environment is one approach of 
 makingverification efforts feasible. On the other hand\, development in the
 free software community sometimes proceeds at an enormous pace\,and many pr
 ojects do frequent releases with sometimesbackward-incompatible changes.  F
 orcing a dependency on an outdatedrelease shifts the burden of maintenance 
 and deployment onto users\, asit gets increasingly difficult to have older 
 releases available.  Onthe other hand\, continuously updating software to t
 he latestdevelopments is a time-consuming task for which there is no immedi
 atescientific benefit.I will argue that Debian is the ideal solution to thi
 s problem. Thistalk will provide an overview of current projects and indivi
 dualefforts within Debian that help researchers to maintain afully-function
 al Debian-based environment for neuroscience researchwith minimal effort (e
 .g. Debian Med\, Debian Science). Moreover\, itintroduces NeuroDebian [1] -
 - a platform specifically targeting theneuroscience community.  I'm going t
 o show several case examples ofpackaging efforts that illustrate typical pr
 oblems\, such asnon-commercial/non-standard licenses\, non-existing upstrea
 m bugtrackerand unavailable version control systems.  Furthermore\, I will 
 offersome evidence that a substantial migration towards Debian is alreadyun
 der way. Popularity statistics and personal communication indicatesthat a g
 rowing number of researchers see it as 1) making neurosciencesoftware (e.g.
  for medical imaging) accessible to a larger user-base\,and reducing the re
 quired maintenance effort on the user side\, 2)improving software quality\,
  and 3) enabling developers to spend moretime on developing new scientifica
 lly relevant features. The talk willconclude with thoughts on what Debian c
 ould do to further facilitateits adoption as the ultimate platform for scie
 ntific research\, suchas tailored guidelines for deployment and project man
 agement\,possibility to run complete regression test suites\, as well asrel
 iable usage statistics to justify funding project funding.[0] http://www.ni

  mathematicians.Mathematical software is software that is useful to people 
 doing mathematics. Examples include: computer algebra packages\; interactiv
 e geometry software (e.g. kig)\; specialized software for e.g. graph isomor
 phism. For much of mathematics\, exact or verifiable computation is an impo
 rtant feature\, so packages like GMP are crucial.Natural questions to discu

 d we cooperate more effectively both with each other and with mathematician
  upstream developers.

DESCRIPTION:All distributions use some kind of meta-data describing relatio
 nships between packages such as Dependencies\, Conflicts\, Virtual Packages
 \, etc. Existing package managers are often specific to a packaging format\
 , or even use implicit assumptions on the meaning of package relations in t
 he context of a distribution.This talk addresses the issue of how we can ov
 ercome this seclusion by resolving inter-package relations in a way that is
  independent from a specific distribution.We will present CUDF (Common Upgr
 adeability Description Format) which permits to encode upgrade scenarios co
 ming from different packaging systems\, including in particular .deb-based 
 and .rpm-based distributions. The format comes with a clear semantics which
  makes it possible to share resolution tools among distributions\, and to a
 dapt general-purpose solvers to the needs of FLOSS distributions.We also sh
 ow how\, in the context of the Mancoosi project\, we are using the CUDF for
 mat to improve the solving abilities of state-of-the-art package managers i
 n distributions such as Debian\, Mandriva\, and Caixa Magica.

DESCRIPTION:Many highly qualified people who come to DebConf are between jo
 bs\, looking to switch jobs or home countries\, or are freelancers seeking 
 additional contracts. This is true every year\, but even more so in 2010 du
 e to the global recession. Many others work at companies that could use the
  professional services of DebConf attendees. This event is intended to brin
 g the two groups together so that job or contract opportunities can be disc
 ussed face-to-face. Another potential topic of discussion is how to search 
 for work in various unfamiliar cities or countries.

DESCRIPTION:Currently\, many multimedia related packages are still unpackag
 ed\, or packaged but not in debian. Our users therefore have to choose from
  a number of 3rd party distributors or compile software from source which l
 eads to a poor user experience.This BoF discusses the needs\, requirements 
 and interest of 3rd-party archives that contain multimedia related packages
 . The goal is to identify the current biggest multimedia related problems i
 n debian and tries to form suggestions on how to improve the situation.

DESCRIPTION:Simple Defects (SD) is a command-line distributed bugtracker. I
 f you'veheard of Bugs Everywhere or Ditz\, you have the general idea.Bugs E
 verywhere and Ditz might be nice for tracking bugs for your ownnew project\
 , but they're not very useful for working with Debian. Whatmay surprise you
  is that SD is!SD has a special feature that other distributed bug trackers
  lack: theability to synchronize bugs back and forth with bug trackers that
  areexternal to itself. It does this through pluggable adaptors that workwi
 th SD's "foreign replica" interface. This allows you to grab bugsmatching s
 ome criteria from a foreign source\, work on them locally (evenoffline) wit
 h all the power of SD\, and then send the updates back to thecentralized bu
 gtracker.This talk will present my work on an SD adaptor to interface with 
 ourbeloved Debbugs\, and how it can make you\, Debian contributors\, morepr
 oductive when dealing with bugs.

DESCRIPTION:Programs and libraries written in Java have a lot of special pa
 ckagingrequirements in common. When I started packaging Java programs I was
 annoyed at the lack of tools to automate some of these tasks and henceJavah
 elper was born.Javahelper provides tools to help with the workflow right fr
 om processingupstream releases (which can be tricky with some Java upstream
 s) throughbuilding packages where upstream doesn't have a sane build system
  togenerating packaging metadata and installing files into packages.This ta
 lk gives an overview of the dh7 and cdbs integration\, how to use thevariou
 s helper tools available in javahelper and finishes with example packagesof
  a selection of simple Java programs and libraries.The aim of Javahelper is
  to provide tooling to implement Debian Java policy\,automate common tasks 
 required by Java packages that aren't provided for bydebhelper and to simpl
 ify the packaging of Java software.

DESCRIPTION:If you are running an ant build\, trying to get it right\, how 
 manytimes do the Java API methods Just-in-Time compile from Java bytecodesi
 nto machine code? For every invocation of /usr/bin/ant\, a JVM isspanned an
 d relevant methods are compiled. This is a clear waste ofwork. Moreover\, j
 ust-in-time compilation is one of the main reasons ofJava perceived sluggis
 hness. As Java is enjoying a sort of renaissancein the Free Software world 
 after the release of OpenJDK\, we can expectmore and more times our system 
 will be just-in-time compiling yetanother copy of java.util.regexp.Pattern.
 A better solution would be to have system-wide JVM where well behaved(also 
 known as "Debian packaged") programs and libraries can co-exist.Luckily\, r
 esearchers at Sun Research Labs were working five years agoin project Barce
 lona [1] (now concluded) which produced a researchprototype of a system lev
 el JVM (they call this a Multi-taskingVirtual Machine or MVM for lack of a 
 more confusing name) to addressthis very issue.Their approach resulted in J
 SR 121 (isolates) [2] for JVM extensionsallowing multiple Java applications
  (classes with a public static voidmain) to be executed concurrently in the
  same JVM.Implementing JSR 121 inside OpenJDK is clearly outside the scope 
 ofDebian but even in the presence of a JVM with isolation capabilities\,the
 re is plenty of system-specific work that needs to be tackled (whathappens 
 with /usr/bin/java? it is really system-wide or user-specific?how "well beh
 aved" do the applications need to be?).In this talk\, we will summarize rel
 evant bits of project Barcelona'sample list of publications and focus on si
 mple\, JSR 121-alikesimulations to show what can we expect from having this
  technologyincorporated into Debian.The hope is that we can spearhead the u
 se of isolates within GNU/Linuxsystems so as to contribute back this knowle
 dge to other distros.[1] http://research.sun.com/projects/barcelona/[2] htt

DESCRIPTION:The paper and and presentation I propose will concentrate on th
 e importance ofDebian products for the University of Groningen\, one of the
  major DutchUniversities.To summarize:              - The university's Cent
 er of Information Technology (CIT) is responsible      for the correct func
 tioning of the University's Information Technology      facilities. This in
 volves making available `standard working      environments' for its 5000 s
 taff members and 20\,000 students\, monitoring      and maintaining the int
 egrity of its 10Gb Internet connection as well as      the computers that a
 re responsible for providing the facilities that are      considered essent
 ial for the university.          The University uses various means to prote
 ct and monitor the well-being      of its computers. Among other means the 
 Stealth File Integrity Control      program\, a Debian package\, is used to
  monitor the file integrity of its      core computer systems.    - The sta
 ndard working environment offered by the university to its      employees a
 nd students has always been a non-Linux system. Fortunately      that has c
 hanged by now and Linux systems are now deployed in more and      more depa
 rtments of the university. This `Linux Working Place' (LWP) as      it is a
 ffectionately called is strictly speaking not Debian but Ubuntu\,      but 
 the close links Ubuntu has with Debian result in a de-facto use of      Deb
 ian (see also below). In addition to this `official' acceptance of      Lin
 ux\, several departments (Astronomy\, Computer Science\, Artificial      In
 telligence\, to name a few) have been using Debian Linux for a long      ti
 me.    - Various programming languages are actively being taught by the    
   University. Since the mid-80s I have organized a course on the C      pro
 gramming language\, augmented with C++ since the early 90s. The      additi
 on of C++ resulted in the `C++ Annotations'\, which became the main      te
 xt-book for that course. The C++ Annotations have also found their way     
  into Debian and are used by many individuals and organizations on a      w
 orld-wide basis for teaching and honing knowledge about C++.    - Students 
 reaching the advanced levels of the C++ course use a parser      generator 
 specifically designed to be used with C++ when       when designing and imp
 lementing their own grammars. This parser      generator is Bisonc++\, also
  a Debian package.    - Students of my class `Information Security' use cla
 sses and templates of      my `Bobcat' software library to implement algori
 thms requiring      computations with integral values of unlimited sizes. T
 hey usually      prefer using these specially designed classes over the raw
  use of the      underlying OpenSSL library functions. Bobcat is not only u
 sed in this      context\, but many C++ programs developed during the C++ c
 ourse or used      by the C++ course students rely on Bobcat. Bobcat is als
 o used in other      sections of the University.  The departments of Comput
 er Science and      Artificial Intelligence customarily have Bobcat install
 ed on their      systems as well.    - Various generic tools (Icmake for pr
 ogram development\, Xd for fast      directory changes and other Debian-bas
 ed tools) are used by students and      staff-members to simplify their dai
 ly activities.Spin-offs of these projects were developed or are being devel
 oped right now byothers\, like `ccbuild' (Bram Neijt) and `flexc++' (Jean-P
 aul van Oosten\,Richard Berendsen\, and myself). Moreover\, the Debian Deve
 loper George Danchevvisited us last fall when the CIT organized a course on
  DebianPackage Construction.

DESCRIPTION:Keywords: design\, collaboration\, interface\, community“Desi
 gn by committee”\, “too many cooks in the kitchen” and other terms ha
 ve been used derogatively to imply that the creative process breaks when it
  involves too many individuals. At the same time\, the software world has b
 een completely revolutionized by the open source\, networked collaborative 
 process. When it comes to graphic and interaction designs (two fields criti
 cal to software development) Open Source software seem to lag behind the mo
 re conventional production models. It seems like in design the Open Source 
 community have not managed to nourish robust collaboration models. One coul
 d argue that even successful free software design projects like Firefox or 
 Ubuntu are often developed in a more traditional process. What are the chal
 lenges of networked collaboration in the creative process? Can and how migh
 t they be solved? Or is it just that designers don’t like to work togethe
 r?I will be tackling these questions in the light of my collaborative work 
 as founding designer of ShiftSpace.org and my educational research leading 
 the Open Source Design class at Parsons’ AAS Program in Graphic Design.6m

DESCRIPTION:In recent release cycles\, it has become more and more evident 
 that a "selfish" approach in which maintainers only care about their own (t
 eam maintained) packages does not scale. To keep up with our principle of r
 eleasing RC-bug-free software we all need to care about the packages of oth
 er\, in particular when they are RC-buggy. That\, of course\, involves acti
 ons such as NMU-ing properly\, but timely too.This BoF aims will bring toge
 ther people that care about keeping the RC bug count low not only for what 
 concerns their own packages\, but also when it comes to packages of other f
 ellow DDs. Topics of discussion include:- How to spot packages that need NM
 U from other maintainers.- Official guidelines for when and how do NMUs (de
 vref §5.11.1).- Best practice and invidual work-flow for NMU campaign (the
  guidelines used by the BoF proponent are in the links section).- How (and 
 if?) communicate about NMU campaigns to get other fellow developers involve
 d.- How to train new/forthcoming Debian developers to care more about packa
 ges other than theirs.- etc.

DESCRIPTION:One of the first programmable devices was the Jacquard loom\, w
 hich used "punched cards" to control fabric designs.  One of the next main 
 programmable devices was the player piano (pianola) that used a spool of pu

DESCRIPTION:The FSF works for user freedom on several fronts\, including ac
 tivist political campaigns\, educational resources\, and support for softwa
 re development. All of these areas intersect with Debian -- activist campai
 gns like Defective by Design\, PlayOgg\, and Windows 7 Sins are supported b
 y many Debian participants and relate to the goals and values of the DFSG. 
 Resources like the Free Software Directory\, Hardware Database\, and Licens
 ing & Compliance Lab provide important information for free software users 
 and developers. Through the GNU Project and the High Priority Projects list
 \, the FSF directly supports upstream free software development. As the Ope
 rations Manager at the FSF\, I can give an overview of these projects\, and
  focus on the most timely ones. It's labelled as a lecture\, but I would ho
 pe to have a significant amount of discussion\, including thoughts about ou
 r existing efforts and suggestions for what more we could do.
