https://debconf15.debconf.org/

In this talk, we will be presenting a Flight Log of our experience on designing, building and hacking around satellite and communication technologies.

This process gave birth on Jun 2014 to BugSat-1, aka Tita (greeks Theta Θ), a 22Kg Satellite carrying, between others things, six Debian On-Board computers in charge of dealing with the satellite's Payload and Flight Mission.

We will be diving through the technology hacked to make Debian able to cope with high latency bandwidth, and also we'll be introducing ddpatch, a debian package minimalization tool intended to optimize communications throughput.
Enjoy!

https://debconf15.debconf.org/

Over the recent years, a number of packaging tools have been improved to include "automated packaging" features, to facilitate the packaging of software also distributed through CPAN, Pypi, rubygems, etc.

The goal of this BOF is to discuss the existing tools, discover opportunities for improvements in each tool, and opportunities for collaboration between those tools.

https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15/meeting/277/lernstick-a-debian-derivative-for-schools-in-switerland/
https://debconf15.debconf.org/

The "Lernstick" is a Debian derivative built with Debian Live for Schools in Switzerland. It exists in two variants. The original variant is intended as a mobile learning environment on an USB stick. Students can carry their personal computing environment in their pocket thanks to a Live system installed on the stick. The second variant is called "Lernstick exam environment" and is a stripped down version for "Bring your own device" exams. This version provides a restricted environment for exams which can be carried out using the students own computers without compromising the integrity of the exam.
The goal of this talk is to give an overview of the Lernstick system and to show how it leverages Debian and Debian Live to provide a Linux distribution targeted at schools. I will also talk about further collaboration possibilities with Debian (eg. Debian EDU/Soklelinux, Debian Blends). While the Lernstick project has always been Free Software we have only just begun to make the project more accessible to outside contributors. We would like to encourage more contributions in the future.
The Lernstick distribution is developed by a unit of the University of Applied Sciences of Northwestern Switzerland. I work part time as a freelancer on the technical implementation of the Lernstick.

https://debconf15.debconf.org/

The graal of accessibility is that it should be ready to be enabled everywhere, all the time. Some of the Debian desktops are very accessible, but most of them are not. In this talk, I will present how the accessibility stack is packaged in Debian, how it works, and what desktop maintainers need to do to make sure that their desktop is accessible.

systemd provides a range of tools to debug boot and shutdown problems, failing services, and optimize boot time. This "hands-on" talk introduces the most important use cases with some live demos and leaves time for answering questions about your favourite systemd related problems.

https://debconf15.debconf.org/

While the Debian archive only contains a single PostgreSQL version per distribution, upstreams supports five concurrent branches plus the devel/beta versions. The apt.postgresql.org repository extends the Debian packaging of the PostgreSQL server packages to cover the full cross product of all branches times seven Debian and Ubuntu releases times currently two architectures. On top of that, various PostgreSQL extension packages are built.

This talk is about the lessons learned while maintaining this package set and how automated testing helps to ensure high quality.

Ingredients are pg_regress, jenkins, jenkins-debian-glue, autopkgtest, dpkg and reprepro tweaks, and automation tools from postgresql-common.
