Dimanche / Sunday

Timeslot Title Presenter Description
10:00 - 10:55 GNOME for system administrators, jessie edition Josselin Mouette GNOME, the default environment for Debian, is well-known for being a nice and usable environment for the average user. It is also designed with powerful administration features and tight integration to Debian packaging. This talk will detail how the internal plumbing behind GNOME and freedesktop technologies work and how to take advantage of it, especially in a multiple-user, multiple-machine environment.
11:00 - 11:55 SIDUS (Single-Instance Distributing Universal System) Emmanuel Quémener SIDUS (Single-Instance Distributing Universal System) was developed at Centre Blaise Pascal (Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon, Lyon, France), where one administrator alone is in charge of 180 stations. Emmanuel Quemener started SIDUS in February 2010, and he significantly cut his workload for administering this park of stations. SIDUS is now in use at the supercomputing centre PSMN (Pôle Scientifique de Modélisation Numérique) of the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon. With SIDUS, you can provide a new user with a complete functional environment in just a few seconds. You can probe corrupted computers without disassembling anything. You can test new equipment without installing an OS on them. You can make your life so much easier when managing hundreds of cluster nodes, of workstations or of self-service stations. You drastically can reduce the amount of storage needed for the OS on these machines.
12:00 - 13:55 Lunch break
14:00 - 14:55 Packaging the free software web Antonio Terceiro While distributions have been excelent at providing packages, most web applications -- and server-side applications in general -- are actually composed of more than one package and perhaps non-trivial cross-package configuration that arguably does not belong at any of the individual packages. In this talk we will explore how we can have a package manager for web/server-side applications that operates one layer above out traditinal package management infrastructure. The end goal is for end users looking to self host their tools to be able to just "install an email server", "install a blog application" without having to deal with all the details themselves.
15:00 - 15:55 Debian Long Term Support, the story of an unusual team Raphaël Hertzog Almost anybody will acknowledge that maintaining 18000 software packages secure over 5 years is a challenge and even more so in the context of Debian where most volunteers tend to skip the parts that are not fun. Still the story of the Debian LTS team shows that it is possible. This talk will explain how we got started and where we are today.
16:00 - 16:55 Lightning talks
