4 - 7 Nov 2014
at Griffith University
Talk comments
The live demos were very well done, and very enlightening to the issue being presented. Hopefully more people take note and try and protect themselves and their products
@Fraser As I said, I still think Haskell is a superior language and everyone should learn it, even if just to make them a better programmer in whatever language they choose/have to work in day to day. I also didn't make it clear during the preso that we'll probably end up being a polyglot organisation too. There are aspects of BagsUp that would probably lend themselves quite nicely to Haskell. Plus I keep cajoling Richard into letting us do some Haskell at LiteracyPlanet too!
In relation to Alex's question about dynamic DNS updates: I answered that I was not aware of such a feature but I have investigated and yes, FreeIPA and SSSD do support this!
Especially enjoyed the case studies/success stories. Would like to have heard a bit more about Code for Australia - success stories or current projects - but maybe there aren't (yet!) many to talk about.
Great presentation - I'm glad there was plenty of time spent on IFE requirements, architecture and contrasting the legacy approach with the digEcor IFE system.
Would like to know more about PKI/Identity Management requirements in this space. Can you suggest any resources?
Great overview of technologies, attacks and countermeasures.
Brought back memories of many things I learned in school and uni! I can't write the Schroedinger wave equation, but for a brief time some years ago I could!
I too would have liked more info on the construction/operation of the computers - not just their underpinnings.
Katie's talk was one of my favourites at the conference.
As she walked us through the playful curiosity she experienced, and the lessons she learned during the creation of her new fangled image mangler, I'm sure I wasn't the only one to be reminded of the excitement that solving your own problems with a variety of tools brings.
The pace of the presentation was great, and the accompanying slides were easy to follow and had great continuity. I have no doubt that her enthusiasm will have rubbed off on some in the audience who hadn't hacked on their own projects before,
Inspirational and, as Daniel says, fun :)
