Разкъсано битие (Георги Пенков
/Софийски Университет/)
Цифровото общество разкри неподозирани възможности, но постави модерния човек като никога досега пред едни нови, непознати предизвикателства и дори заплахи. Да вади всекидневно стотици пъти избор от безкрайността на възможности, към които да насочи вниманието си. Да направи уверен избор за посока в живота. И доколкото може да запази съзнателно поетия курс. Една нелека задача, предизвикателство, фарс, ужас дори за невнимателните, който ежедневно ни преследва от всички умни устройства, борейки се за внимание. Къде – с наше позволение, къде – по навик. Така изложени и с достъп до вечно разширяващ се хоризонт от знания, да се спрем за момент и обсъдим предизвикателствата, заплахите, последствията и какви са решенията, които са ни известни, за да останем здрави – физически, ментално и емоционално.

The Army that Never Existed: The Failure of Social Bots Research (Michael Kreil)
After the shockwaves triggered by the Brexit referendum and the election of Donald Trump, media outlets desperately looked for explanations. Previously unknown researchers offered a saving straw: Automated accounts on social media had influenced the public opinion on a massive scale. This theory was widely spread by research institutions, the media, and even government officials, but taking a closer look at the research behind it shows that the whole social bots theory has absolutely no basis. This fact could have been noticed earlier if the scientists had published their data and their code as it should be standard in science. This talk explains what happened, how it happened, and how it could have been prevented.
Как да се представим добре на ИТ интервю (Тони Герджиков

Arguing with Linus Torvalds (Steven Rostedt
/VMware, Inc/)
The Linux kernel is the lowest layer of software (above BIOS) and that requires it to be as efficient as possible. Recent hardware issues have arisen (Spectre and Meltdown) that caused the Linux kernel to have to take measures to protect itself, but these measures have also had a significant impact on performance. One solution was the addition of retpolines, but these slow down indirect calls, which is highly used by trace events. Work has been started to create dynamic call sites in the kernel to handle these cases. But to make these modifications, breakpoints must be used, and emulating calls from breakpoints has various issues. This talk will describe retpolines, why dynamic call sites help and explain the issues as well as various solutions (spoiler, they all suck) to emulating calls with breakpoints. The same issue has recently come up with handling function tracing and live kernel patching, and those will also be explained. Come to this talk to get a good idea of why most kernel developers have gray hair.
Securing BGP beyond the AS origin validation (Атанас Янков)
От самото начало на Internet проблемът със сигурността на BGP рутинг протокола е сериозен и до скоро, въпреки множеството идеи, нямаше налични решения, които да ни предпазят от възможността някой да ни "гепи" мрежите .

Мотики 19.11 (Николай Тенев
/StorPool Storage/)
Резюме на най-интересните бъгове и странни проблеми, с които сме се борили в последните месец-два.
The Beginner’s Guide to Quantum Computing (Ivan Angelov)
Quantum computers promise to be able to solve problems that will remain forever beyond the capabilities of the classical ones. The solutions to such problems would have far-reaching applications in cryptography, machine learning, as well as a variety of natural sciences. Now, with small-scale, noisy quantum computers emerging out of the research labs, some of them even being available in the cloud for anyone to play around with, quantum computing is attracting a lot of attention. However, the properties that enable the promising potential of quantum computing are the very same ones that both make it extremely difficult to construct quantum computers and defy our classical intuitions. In this talk, I will introduce some of the key elements of quantum computing, such as qubits, quantum gates, and entanglement, and will explain how these enable its promising applications. What does all of this have to do with OSS? Come to the talk to find out!
Business Source Licensing (Асен Тотин
/MariaDB Corporation/)
The world of open source presents a substantial challenge to creating a sustainable business model. MariaDB recently created the Business Source License (BSL) as an alternative to existing approaches. We believe BSL offers the community more benefits that traditional "open core", "dual licensing" and related models, ultimately staying true to the open source spirit.

That you can stream audio, video, and even arbitrary data between browsers (almost) without a server in between? Enter WebRTC: open web standards are truly amazing! This talk explains how WebRTC works, why it is relevant in 2019, how to write your own peer-to-peer applications, and how to move even beyond web browsers and into IoT applications.
Evolving big microservice architectures (Николай Стоицев
/Uber/)
Microservices are a well-established architecture applied by many organizations around the world to build scalable and fault-tolerant backend systems. But as these systems grow so does the number of services in them. And this brings many challenges when we want to introduce new functionality. For a simple feature, engineers may need to spend a lot of time designing the end to end flow, changing code in multiple services and setting up complex test scenarios. During this talk, we’ll explore how to evolve a microservice architecture to be easily extensible based on some lessons learned from running 5000 microservices in production. We’ll go over different architectural patterns and open source tools that we can use to make it easy for all engineers to understand, extend and be more and more productive in such big complex systems.
GNU/Linux: coming to a phone near you (Merlijn Wajer)

We will show phone calls, data connections, wireless, virtual keyboards and more.
From 0kmph to Blinking LED (John Hawley
/VMware - Open Source Technology Center/)
It's hard to argue that we aren't living in a new golden age, one where technology is becoming pervasive in ways that our ancestors could only describe as impossible. We have watches you can not only talk to and make phone calls on, but that tell the time, phones that are used more to browse the web than to talk on, and TVs without channels anymore, but more content to view than could be imagined. As most software folks will attest, making a lot of this work isn't that hard - but as software people we can become divorced from the hardware we work on, and with IoT bringing cheap, plentiful, and VERY powerful computers and microcontrollers, maybe it's time that software developers should also start building their own hardware as well.
Diversity & Inclusion & Why it is so important! (Димитър Йорданов
/VMWare/)
At the moment diversity is a hot topic for many companies globally. But why do we need it? To have a diverse team is increasingly being recognized as instrumental for improving the overall performance, driving innovation and is also imperative that organizations can no longer choose to ignore. Diversity is key to our growth as individuals and as organizations. It is widely recognized today that diversity adds a lot of value, even if it requires working through the issues and costs that sometimes comes with it. The purpose of this Workshop is to provide a broad discussion of the concepts of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and provide a better understanding of what they may mean for organizations. This BoF also aims to assist the participants in thinking about both differences and similarities among employees, and how these can be leveraged, and accommodated, by the organization.
CryptoParty (Marie Gutbub)

To try the programs and apps at the CryptoParty bring your laptop or smartphone.
Best practices in creating build and deployment pipelines (Boyan Mihaylov)
The code that we, developers, write only works when this happens in production. The journey from our development machine to production defines the quality of this code and the flexibility of the entire organization to create value for its end-users. In this talk, we will explore theories and best practices for enabling continuous integration/deployment for your organization. We will see good and bad examples from my experience within different types of organizations and the implication such build/deployment pipelines have on the entire organization.
WiFi-Mesh for monitoring and management of large areas (Цветан Узунов
/Олимекс ООД/)
По време на лекцията ще се опишат и демонстрират възможностите на WiFi-mesh технологията, с която се покриват големи площи, като е достатъчно точките в мрежата да виждат поне един съседен елемент. Приложенията на тази технология са много - от мониторинг и отдалечено управление на машини в заводи, до охрана, автоматизация и климатизация на големи сгради и обекти, без да се полагат допълнителни кабели. За да работи мрежата е необходимо просто да има захранване, т.е. съществуваща електрическа инсталация.
Infrastructure Review (Владимир Витков)
Who, what, and how makes this event tick and some times tock.
Free and open source toolchains for FPGAs (Rangel Ivanov)
Днес почти всички компилатори и интерпретатори за софтуер/фърмуер са open source. Ако искате да пробвате някой език или платформа, няма проблем: отивате на сайта на съответния език, сваляте си компилатора/интерпретатора или инсталирате съответния пакет за вашата GNU/Linux дистрибуция и сте готови. Искате да разберете как работи дадена част от компилатора/интерпретатора или искате да поправите някой бъг, няма проблем - почти всички са open source. Но уви, при програмируемия хардуер(FPGA) не е така. В тази лекция ще засегнем какви opensource tools съществуват, кои устройства/чипове поддържат, opensource FPGA дизайни/проекти, ползващи чипове, които се поддържат от opensource инструментите, какви проекти могат да се реализират с тях, какви платки за разработка със съответните чипове съществуват и какво предстои занапред.
Building the next telco: Introduction to Network Service Mesh (Ivana Atanasova
/VMware/)
The technology evolution drives a significant continuous increase in the total number of connected devices and the overall generated traffic. This pushes network service providers, like ISPs and Telcos, to carefully consider their technology choices when designing their next-generation architectures. Unfortunately, the current generation of container networking solutions doesn't fit very well to those preventing industries with more sophisticated network demands from adopting the new cloud-native paradigm. The newly adopted CNCF Sandbox project, Network Service Mesh, offers a potential solution. In this talk we'll introduce the novel approach Network Service Mesh uses to solve complicated L2/L3 challenges in Kubernetes. We will also discuss use-cases and provide a set of examples of this solution.
Job security или как да стана неуволняем (Живко Ангелов
/SiteGround/)

Legal Challenges of TDM in Web-Scraped Content by EU companies (Zhulieta Mandazhieva
/Digital Republic/)
NLP-based TDM is at the heart of many business functions and analyses nowadays. From search engine indexing and optimisation to business/media inteligence, global AML risk&compliance and effective headhunting, acquiring and utilising rich, relevant, diverse datasets is more lucrative than ever. Where does your data come from and can you trigger a lawsuit from an author, publisher or data subject? The Internet is global but IP and privacy laws are still national and it is not always a clear cut and safe bet to scrape data globally. I will try to raise some red flags, outline some safe harbours and instigate further discussion.
Testing Cloud Native applications with KIND (Rostislav Georgiev
/VMware/)
This talk will walk you through testing cloud native applications (or parts of them) with KIND. KIND is a relatively new project.

/MariaDB/)
As Kubernetes is getting more and more popular, developers are trying to put their whole stack in it. A vital part of this stack is the database, which is by definition stateful, and as such presents a unique set of problems that need to be addressed in order to achieve a robust system. Here we'll discuss a primary/replica MariaDB Server topology fronted by a MariaDB MaxScale proxy.
The leak of billions of passwords (Kirils Solovjovs)
Beginning of 2019 marked the time of many underground user:password databases leaking into the general internet. What's inside those leaks? Who's at risk? How did that happen? And what do we do now?
Фактори за успеха на ML решенията (Пейо Попов
/Онтотекст/)
За успеха на един ML проект оптимизацията на алгоритмите и използването на последните достижения имат сравнително малък принос. Ефективните усилия са насочени към определяне измерители за успех, всички аспекти на данните, включване на хора в процесите, инфраструктура за автоматизация, интеграция и чак тогава към ML оптимизация. Най-голямо значение имат човешките умения, процеси и инструменти, като "AI магията" единствено ги умножава.
EdgeX Foundry - Microservices at the Edge (Nikolay Stanchev
/VMware/)
Flexibility and interoperability in the field of IoT software is the main goal. The challenges the IoT needs to handle include resource limitations (CPU/RAM/storage/network capacity and availability), implementing security at the edge of the network, work with a diverse set of devices, that use different network protocols, managing the overall generated data traffic, etc. The mix of platforms, “things” - sensors, actuators, applications, intelligence, etc. all connected in a single IoT deployment is extensive and ever-growing. How do you create a software platform that addresses all these problems, allows incorporation of various edge analytics, communicates to a diverse set of cloud and enterprise platforms like Azure, Google, AWS, etc.?

Burnout – синдром на професионалното изчерпване (Петър Събев
/Webbicus/)
Какво е професионално изгаряне, "прегаряне", "изпържване", професионално изчерпване или просто бърнаут? Много от най-продуктивните хора поне веднъж са се чувствали професионално изчерпани - ще разгледаме няколко такива случая, историята на бърнаута накратко, какви са фазите и стадиите, как да се "усещаме", когато сме на път да прегорим, и какви начини има да го победим... За купона ще вкарам Metallica, "Тигре, тигре" и "Sound of Silence" в една презентация, без да пея...
Scalable and secure infrastructure with LXD, ZFS and LUKS (Стоил Стоилов
/Documaster/)

C++ as Assembly 2.0 - Hello Nim (Виктор Кирилов
/NuoDB/)
Nim is statically typed systems and applications programming language which offers some of the most powerful metaprogramming capabilities. It is the next iteration of imperative language design and aims to dethrone C/C++ for high performance coding - among its rivals are Rust and D. Nim is also perfectly suited for software typically written in C#, Java, JavaScript, etc. - basically all types of software. Nim can bridge the gap between business logic and high performance, sprinkling improved developer productivity on top. Nim is compiled to C/C++ (and JavaScript among others) and thus interoperability is straightforward and without any performance penalties - lots of existing C/C++ software can be reused and built upon.

За свободата, програмиста и развитието (Николай Цветинов
/https://elixir-lang.bg/)
Напоследък от господин програмиста се очаква много! То това важи и за госпожицата/госпожата програмист(ка?)! Много, много, много, толкова много, че само работенето не стига, за да се развиваме в правилните насоки… Какво означава това? Трябва да правим нещо и след работа, че да останем търсени и желани? Всъщност не, има такова предлагане, че и търсенето е голямо, но за да си вършим по-добре работата, можем да поработим над себе си. Работата над себе си е важна работа. Нали все дирят магьосници (бели, сиви, но не и черни) и нинджи (черни!!!!). Аз съм правил различни неща през живота си, за да "вдигам левъл", та реших да споделя, както и да поразсъждавам над тези въпроси. И не, няма да си говорим за хобита като "свирене на гайда", което е яко, ама е офтопик. Ще си говорим за хобита и странични дейности, свързани с компютърни науки, информатика, математика, програмиране. Нека пофилософстваме за книгите, които си струват, конференциите и дали и за какво да говорим на тях, отворения код, затворения код, абе кода въобще, за програмистите и креативността, за свободата и още нещо…
