Org mode is an extension to the Emacs text editor. The talk will introduce a trusted system to manage your daily life and keep track of all the stuff that matters to you.

The mein difference to other personal productivity apps is:

- **You** have control over your files.

- Files are in plain text, you can even read them without org mode.

- The application is Open Source, so no risk that is discontinued because the business plan didnt work.

- The user can customize it for his own needs and is not forced to adapt to the needs of a tool.

**About me:** Software Engineer, 25+ years on Linux, using Org mode daily for at least 12 years now.

This talk focuses on effective communication with the openSUSE community.

Many workgroups have formed around the new Adaptable Linux Platform. However, not all of them are reporting the public yet.

[ALP Community Work Group ](https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:ALP/Workgroups/Community)would like to encourage workgroup drivers to increase transparency by sharing our recommendations on how to communicate with the openSUSE community.

A traditional Linux file system tree in the root file system has quite a number of directories with special purpose, documented in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). An operating system installation by default populates most of those directories with different kinds of files, e.g. by means of a package manager. When looking closer this theoretical order is quite a mess in practice. Alternative approaches to manage and update software components of the operating system such as MicroOS reveal the inconsistencies and require stricter separation of different types of files. This talk analyzes where we're coming from, how the tree looks today and where we're heading.

The talk will be based on https://lnussel.github.io/2020/12/16/fslayout/

Ru Callender has been a self proclaimed, self taught Radical undertaker for the past 23 years, and draws upon a diverse range of influences in his work, such as rave culture, punk DIY, crop circles and performance art and ritual magic. He had written an account of this time in a book entitled “What remains? Life death and the human art of undertaking” for the progressive US publishers Chelsea Green.

Ru will be in conversation with Sophie Lovejoy, funeral celebrant and life coach and EMF favourite. Trigger warning: We die.

The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) was a critical element in the success of the Apollo Moon landing programme, and was one of the first digital computers to use the then new technology of integrated circuits.

By modern standards, its design has many unusual aspects, such as:

- The logic circuits were made entirely from 3 input NOR gates.

- Design was split into 24 logic modules, but due to limits on gate/chip count per module, individual gates were sometimes 'borrowed' from unrelated modules.

- Shift and rotate operations existed, but were not available during interrupts.

- Numerical overflows disabled interrupts.

- There was no stack.

- Limited memory addressing range, combined with a need for ever more memory lead to a complex memory banking system.

- Word length was 15 bits, ones-complement (mostly).

- No floating point - everything done in integer

- programmer responsible for avoiding overflows.

- Single bit 'Up/Down' Analog to Digital conversion (kind of) throughout, with the curious side-effect that the faster the spacecraft was rotating, the slower the computer would run...

On top of the limited hardware was built an impressive realtime system supporting cooperative multitasking, a virtual machine running interpreted commands, a powerful fault detection and restart system, and an innovative VERB NOUN user interface.

This talk aims to describe the architecture, with particular focus on aspects which are unusual by modern standards.

simpledrm is a fbdev replacement implemented in the DRM kernel subsystem.

It allows for smoother handover from the early boot phase to when a "real" DRM driver is loaded.

In addition it allows for Wayland support on simple display adapters that do not have their own DRM driver. It has already been mainlined for a while but is not in active use by major linux distributions.

In this talk I will briefly introduce you to the project and show you how you can test it on your machines. I have recently learned about this effort and started looking at DRM. This talk is held by a kernel newbie.

Keysmashes are way of expressing emotions through spamming random letters on a keyboard but what do they actually mean? How random is a keysmash? Where do keysmashes come from? What can we learn about a person from their keysmashes? This talk is a beginners guide to the world of keysmashes and what they tell us about modern communications and online communities.
