Speakers#
Speaker: Johan Westin
Title: Crack it open
Summary Lets open up some container images and look inside to understand how they work. And maybe we might even learn some tricks when creating those Dockerfiles.
Speaker: Falko Flessner
Title: Assessing Long-Term Availability Of Open-Source-Software
Summary: Within a month, MinIO went to a maintenance-only mode and ingress-nginx was discontinued. With these two widely used OSS projects suddenly being unavailable, the question is how to assess the long-term availability of Open-Source projects? By a structured analysis of both failed and greatly successful projects, we will see which organizational factors influence longevity or the risk of a project being discontinued. Looking at the failed projects also allows us to have fun while expanding our vocabulary of swear words of varying appropriateness.
Speaker: David Hall
Title: Digital sovereignty.
Summary: What does digital sovereignty actually mean in practice, beyond buzzwords and policy documents? This talk looks at control, transparency, and long-term resilience in cloud and platform choices. We will explore how open source, data location, vendor lock-in, and operational autonomy intersect, and where the trade-offs really are. Expect practical examples, a few uncomfortable questions, and some concrete takeaways on how to build systems you actually own and understand.
