Personal schedule for Florian Haas

Monty Taylor, manager of Automation and Deployment at HP, will be our guest speaker and will be running a lab session. This will be an in-depth, hands-on session on how to set-up OpenStack. We'll walk through setting up devstack, with the end result of creating a working OpenStack development environment by the end of the night. Read more.

If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Would you pitch a project? Launch a web site? Teach a hack? We’re going to find out when we conduct our third Ignite event at OSCON. Read more.

A deep dive and discussion of Ceph, the highly available, massively scalable distributed object store, file system, and block device. Read more.

Deploying things at scale can get hard and complicated, wouldn't it be nice if deploying services was as easy as using apt-get? With Ubuntu and juju you can deploy over 80 services to AWS, HP Cloud, OpenStack, or bare metal with really simple commands. This talk will show you what juju is, how it works, and how it can save you time by showing you how to write juju charms. Read more.

Grab a drink and kick off the 14th edition of OSCON by meeting and mingling with exhibitors and fellow attendees. Read more.

Opening remarks by Portland Mayor Sam Adams, as well as OSCON program chairs, Sarah Novotny and Edd Dumbill. Read more.

An open source community depends on its capacity to attract people and the efficiency with which it can harness their energy to create great software. While a compelling mission or killer product can be helpful, effective communities must be responsive and efficient in managing the diverse needs and demands of its members. Read more.

Applied Minds CEO, Danny Hillis will offer an introduction to The Learning Map, a Shared Learning Collaborative initiative organizing online learning material to get the right content to the right student at the right time. Read more.

The Web has transformed not only the way we approach modern day science, but a number of other facets of the research cycle: tools for analysis, mediums which now serve as “information inputs”, how we exchange ideas and even discover knowledge. Yet despite the pieces being there, changing practice is like trying to shake a castle. Read more.

In this keynote, Brian Aker, HP Fellow, will share challenges and best practices from his work with OpenStack software, including how a rich set of APIs must be developed in order to drive broad platform adoption as well as the need for formal APIs. Read more.

Open source software was one of the earliest successful examples of a sharing economy that has had huge economic impact. But as alternative energy advocate Steve Baer once noted, ecosystem services are often ignored in economic analysis: when you put your clothes in the dryer the energy you use is measured and counted, but when you hang them on the line, they disappear from the measured economy. Read more.

An introduction to high availability for the OpenStack cloud stack, using the Pacemaker cluster management framework. Read more.

Applications are only as reliable as the database they use. At Stripe, we've developed a set of practical techniques for running MongoDB without downtime even in the face of catastophic machine failure. This session will cover a range of these techniques (and the tales behind their development). Read more.

We love being at OSCON. And we want to celebrate. So drinks are in order. Because celebration is conducive to meeting interesting people and sharing ideas. Stop by the Tap Room in MacTarnahan Bar. We'll be there from 7-9 and we'll grab you a beer. It's free. It's interesting. It's delicious. Read more.

Please join us to celebrate the OpenStack community's success on its 2nd anniversary during OSCON 2012! We will have food, drinks, bar games and of course, OpenStack limited-edition t-shirts! Read more.
