Graphics in the open source world |
Nowadays anyone can create eye popping graphics, whether it be animated or stills, vectors or raster, 2 or 3D. 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. |

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. |

Vision of the end user |
A talk about computing from the perspective of someone who cares for nothing, except the experienced derived from using a desktop computer. 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. |
