  • The year of the Linux desktop (osc22)
    Since long every year is announced to be the "year of the Linux desktop", and every year there is no real breakthrough.
    In this talk I will look at some reasons why there is no breakthrough yet.
    **About me:** Software developer, 25+ years Linux. I was the person responsible for Linux on the Desktop at the last European PC manufacturer (Fujtsu) for 17 years and can tell from my own experience why Linux on the desktop is an ongoing struggle.

  • As I was saying.... (osc22)
    ** Required Magic's Carpet: How we designed a mass deployment system for Linux. **
    In 2014 we started working with a major Irish bank to help them with a project to upgrade 7,500 Linux workstations across all of their branches. Over the next two years we completed that task - not just once - but on a weekly basis, across 900 locations - with just **two** people, and **zero** site visits.
    Our discoveries of their systems and techniques led us to build "Carpet" (formally known as "Snoopea"), a tool to rapidly roll out - and maintain - Linux systems across a wide area network.
    The systems don't have to be desktop based either - so long as the devices are network connected, Carpet can deploy IOT, Server and virtual machines too.
    This high level talk is an overview of the the journey to take the original CLI based system to a modern, web based tool - including how we used Kiwi (and image builder), and Nuitka (a python compiler) to build certain components.
    We'll start from the beginning for those that missed the first part in 2019!

  • A Better way to make Enlightenment themes (osc22)
    A New Way to Create Enlightenment Themes.
    Enlightenment Themes are very large and complex, this makes them immensely flexible but also means the amount of effort to create a new Theme is huge. To try and find some middle ground here I have been working on a new theme engine that is much less flexible but means you can create a new theme just by changing images and a couple of files. One of the first examples of this is the new default theme for openSUSE Leap 15.4.
    In this talk I'll walk through the process of making a new theme with this engine as well as showing a few examples. I'll also show you how to make GTK and KDE apps play nicely together.
    But because everyone is not interested in Enlightenment i'll spend a fair section of time explaining how gtk and kde themes work and how you can or can't easily make your own versions of them.

  • Wie wird Zürich eine SmartCity? (dgna)
    Laut der Homepage der Stadt Zürich werden in einer smarten Stadt gute Ideen entwickelt und umgesetzt:
    «Smart City Zürich steht für Innovation in der Stadtverwaltung Zürich. Durch Testen, Lernen und Fördern von innovativen Vorhaben nutzt Smart City Zürich den digitalen Wandel als Chance für die Stadt. Das Ziel ist es, heute und in Zukunft die hohe Lebensqualität in Zürich zu erhalten und weiter auszubauen, die nachhaltige Entwicklung zu fördern und Zürich als Innovations- und Wirtschaftsstandort zu stärken.»
    Wie die Stadt diese grossen Ziele erreichen möchte, welche Hürden es auf dem Weg dahin gibt und wie es mit dem Umgang mit Personendaten steht, diskutieren wir mit Maximilian Stern.
    Maximilian Stern ist Politikwissenschafter, Co-Autor der «Agenda für eine digitale Demokratie» (mit Daniel Graf) und Vizepräsident des staatslabors. Seit drei Jahren ist er Co-Programmleiter im Smart City Team der Stadt Zürich, wo er an der Digitalisierung von Dienstleistungen und Prozessen der Zürcher Stadtverwaltung arbeitet.
