Flock 2015: Full Schedule

Two factor authentication with GPG

This presentation will discuss the uses of Two Factor Authentication in GPG, including the GPG shell tokens with the GPG smart cards, and Yubikey NEO which comes with an OpenPGP applet. I will also discuss how to use a GPG token (either type) to authenticate yourself with SSH to a remote server, which I believe is helpful for increased security, especially given all of the hacking going on lately.

Security threats at conferences

In this talk I will raise awareness for security threats against developers and contributors during conferences and show mitigation techniques and best practices to avoid them. A lot of attacks that happen less likely if someone uses the Internet from a secure station at home become dangerous, if for example WiFi networks at conferences are used. But there are a lot of possibilities that allow to reduce the risk. Using the Fedora Project as an example I will show what can be done in the infrastructure and by the contributors to minimize the risk.

Understanding DNSSEC: F22 feature

Domain Name System SeCurity Extensions(DNSSEC) is a set of standards defined to extend the Domain Name System(DNS) protocol, to securely exchange information between DNS clients & servers. This session aims to introduce the audience to the nitty-gritty of the domain name system(DNS), its pitfalls, its security, its utility and importance to the users. And how Fedora contributors could help to develop this feature. This session is suitable for all kinds of audiences.

Build your own (Ansible) lightsaber‼

Ansible allows sysadmins to do more work in less time by giving them a means to capture the desired state of machines in special configuration files and then apply those configurations to multiple remote machines. But for every labor saving tool there is some startup cost. In this case the price is recording the desired state into ansible playbooks. Several Fedora Infrastructure admins were faced with just this problem and solved it by building https://github.com/ralphbean/lightsaber , a common repository of playbooks and roles to configure their systems. Come to this session to learn how you can use their work to jumpstart your own ansible deployments on Fedora.

Icaro: educational robotics in LATAM

Icaro is a Educational Robotics project. It is a merge between a
hardware board and an intuitive block programming interface aimed for
kids. The board has reach it's 7th version. Hardware and software has
been created enterily using Fedora. Robotics is an excuse to teach
programming concepts while kids play, but it can get further into help
teaching math, physics and more. Originally from Argentina, Icaro has
gather collaborators from Nicaragua, Panama and Venezuela who have been
helping with code, packaging and electronics improvements.

Using Fedora as a base for the IoT revolution

There's a lot of new technologies and standards out there that are driving the IoT (Internet of Things) revolution including 802.15.4 WPAN, 6LOWPAN, Thread group, MQTT, CoAP. A lot of those standards have open source reference implementations. There's a lot of existing IoT devices that run Linux on ARM. What is the state of these in Fedora? How well do they work? What extra work needs to be done to enable Fedora to excel as a development platform for the Internet of Things revolution. I'll cover kernel and hardware support, network stack support, gateway requirements as well as a number of messaging and middleware components that are designed for enabling of IoT devices, gateways as well as IoT server components that might be useful in a complete IoT platform.

Let's go meta: how to build the next Flock software system

Currently the Flock conference is run via some quickly (even if tastily) hacked code from a few brave but overworked Fedora souls. What if we had a conference system that could run multiple conferences, including Flock each year but also regional FUDCons? Let's get together, figure out the problems we want to solve in a new conference system, and start solving them.

You will setup your own OpenQA instance using Docker, and we'll create a simple testcase covering Fedora installation via Anaconda to get the gist of things.
