Gone are the days that one needs to either pay for expensive software packages... or be a little pirate. With open source packages like GIMP, Inkscape and Blender, just about everyone can now join in. || || {{attachment:Bennie.jpg}} ||Bennie Kahler-Venter ||http://www.abrocha.co.za ||ELK - Log Analysis ||Do amazing things with Elastic Search, Logstash and Kibana || || {{attachment:Guillaume.jpg}} ||Guillaume Belrose ||http://kafecho.blogspot.com ||Be sensible, use Ansible ||In this talk, I will give a quick overview of Ansible (http://docs.ansible.com), a radically simple open source configuration management tool with almost no learning curve. Via playbooks, Ansible allows you to easily automate the configuration of Linux (and Windows) hosts, from 1 to thousands of nodes. I will briefly touch on the core Ansible concepts and talk about / demo things you can do with it. || || {{attachment:Johann.jpg}} ||Johann Els ||http://www.suse.com ||OpenSUSE Build Service ||The Open Build Service (OBS) is a generic system to build and distribute packages from sources in an automatic, consistent and reproducible way. It makes it possible to release software for a wide range of operating systems and hardware architectures. The OBS reference server, which we use to build our distribution, currently has over 35.000 users that are building over 200.000 packages for 22 base distributions on 6 architectures. || ||{{attachment:KarlF.jpg}} ||Karl Fischer ||[[https://twitter.com/kmf|@kmf]] ||ownCloud - Your ownCloud 9 ||Quick overview of ownCloud, Setup and Use || ||{{attachment:MarkC.jpg}} ||Mark Clarke ||http://www.cyberconnect.co.za ||The Internet of Things ||Overview of the internet of things, how open source is powering the next wave of innovation that is empowering individuals and how you can get involved. || ||{{attachment:MarkC.jpg}} ||Mark Clarke ||http://www.jumpingbean.co.za ||Map Reduce with Bash ||How one Univesity's Nuclear Research Department is using simple bash scripting to do Monte-Carlo analysis. || || {{attachment:Ross.jpg}} ||Ross Addis ||http://www.redhat.com ||Open Hybrid Cloud ||How enterprises are transforming their traditional IT infrastructure to "cloud" to achieve more flexibility, agility and innovation within their data centre, all using open source software.|| || {{attachment:StefanL.jpg}} ||Stefan Lesicnik ||http://www.lsd.co.za ||OpenShift || Platform as a Service (PAAS) This lightning talk will talk cover Openshift, a PAAS solution by Red Hat.

He is not a geek or a developer, he's just a regular end user... nothing more. Tshepo Moabi has become tired of the inefficiencies of the many systems that exist. He wants a system that makes it very quick and easy for him to access anything from his computer. A system that exists solely to make computing easier, either for someone new to the world of clicking and typing or for someone who has enjoyed a long, prosperous journey through the many user interfaces that exist. Tshepo has spent endless time downloading and customizing, and many more hours, just to save a few microseconds of navigation while using the desktop computer. The self proclaimed 'regular end user', talks about his vision for the future. This is a vision of the most efficient OS in the world, it also is the easiest UI to learn. || || {{attachment:WalterL.jpg}} ||Walter Leibbrandt ||[[https://twitter.com/wasbeer|@wasbeer]] ||Protecting your privacy with Free Software ||In the face of constantly changing communications, increasingly pervasive monitoring and corporate interests, it has become ever more difficult to protect our digital privacy. This talk will explain why it is important to protect our privacy, how Free Software can be used to this end, and the advantages it holds over proprietary solutions.
