Stephen Partington: LVM Cache Round 2, now with some real use.
Description:
Having Presented the LVMcache in using an SSD to speed up your system, single disk, or array some time ago, this will be a follow up with the real time experience and use of LVMcache and its application in day to day use.
About Stephen:
20+ years of Technology, Almost as many of that with at least some level of supporting or using Linux desktops and servers. Into gaming, Technology, Mobile devices, Linux, Photography and Maybe soon Blacksmithing.
Description:
C++ today is very different from what it was just a few years ago. The revitalized and fast-moving (for ISO) standards process as well as major changes both to the language core and the standard library have produced almost a new language.
This presentation is a practitioner's perspective on the state of C++ development on Linux platforms today, the recent standards improvements, how "good" C++ idiom today looks almost nothing like "good" C++ from 15 year ago, and perhaps a bit about all the ways C++ code is done badly.
No slides, but some live code samples are possible.
Biography:
Joseph Sinclair is a software engineer, long-time linux user, and general all-around tech head. He occasionally wonders what it would be like to dream in binary, and sometimes remembers that most people don't actually know what a convolution code is or why 8b10b encoding is important.
Ed Nicholson: Project Atomic and Immutable Linux
Description:
This presentation is about the changes to a system's life cycle as an Immutable Linux such as Fedora-Atomic.
Immutability of a system has been an objective for some time, and with good reason. The shift in deployments to containers has made this a critical feature for the stability and manageability of the large number of systems that support the services we have today. We will look at how this has resulted in some very basic changes to a typical systems life cycle and how easy it is for you to have your own container ready servers.
Biography:
Ed has been involved with Free Software and how people, organizations and populations use, create and experience information. Ed enjoys The Prescott National Forest as his "office" and The Valley of The Sun as a home away from home. His personal systems run either Fedora, Project Atomic, Android or OpenBSD.
We'll have 2 presentation on Thursday, "Intermediate shell scripting: getting more bash for your $" and "SSH and the shell-go forth securely", both from der.hans
der.hans: Intermediate shell scripting: getting more bash for your $
Description:
Want to take your shell scripting to the next level? Interested in adding string manipulation and arrays to your arsenal? In shell math?
Shell still has the best system integration for stringing together our favorite command line tools such as ls, grep and sed. Better yet is doing some of that work in the shell without reaching for a forked program, especially inside loops. This presentation will cover intermediate scripting techniques and useful command line tips.
After attending this session, audience members will understand string operators, in shell math, indexed arrays and associative arrays. They will also be familiar with regular expressions, globbing and differences between the two. Finally, attendees will be familiar with useful builtin variables.

der.hans: SSH and the shell-go forth securely
Description:
SSH is the go to tool for sysadmins and developers for interactive connections to remote machines. It creates secure, encrypted connections between computers, even across hostile networks. Unless you accept keys without verification (DON'T DO THAT!!!).
SSH can also create tunnels for encapsulating other connections, including other protocols and data. Sysadmins can bridge protocols across networks for ease of access such as a one-off data sync. Devs can present the dev database on their desktop to ease use of graphical development tools.
After attending this session, audience members will be able to create a local tunnel from client to server, a remote tunnel from server to client, and do simple analysis of local vs remote evaluation of a command. Attendees will be able to use tunnels for SSH or sample other protocols (MySQL and HTTP), and tunneling via a third party system. They will also be familiar with dynamic SOCKS proxies and using SSH to tunnel graphical applications. Finally, attendees will also learn SSH configuration and command line tips for convenience of use, including using forced command to restrict an SSH key to one purpose.

der.hans: SSH series: Inroduction to SSH
Description: SSH is the go to tool for sysadmins and developers to make secure, encrypted, interactive connections to remote machines. It's even secure across hostile networks, unless you accept keys without verification (DON'T DO THAT!!!).
The introduction to SSH will describe what SSH is and the basics of how it works. It will also cover verifying an SSH host key, making an SSH connection and running a remote command.
