+ VR: Open Source and Standards
+
+
+ VR took off for the consumer with the release of Oculus consumer hardware. But the hardware lacked open source drivers and Linux support in general. The OpenHMD project was created to solve this issue, and as it so happen it was funded by two former Chalmers students.
+
+
+
+ The consumer VR space has now grown from a crazy inventor in a garage into a large industry. But this growth has its down sides, multiple companies have their own APIs competing. Luckily these companies have agreed to work on a single API under the Khronos umbrella
+
+
+
+ In this talk, Jakob will cover Khronos' OpenXR standard, give an overview about the current state of open source VR and what lies ahead.
+
+
+
+ Jakob is a former student of Chalmers now working for Collabora with graphics and virtual reality. He has worked with Linux graphics since 2006, starting with Tungsten Graphics and moving into VMware. In 2013 he along with a friend started the OpenHMD project to make open source drivers for VR and AR hardware.

+ Reviving Old Software - How bring KDE 1 to run on modern systems teached lessons on software backporting
+
+
+ Bring back to life an old software is easy nowadays, you spin some virtual machine with the older operational system and run it (or even compile it).
+
+
+
+ Bring it back to RUN in modern systems ? This is a completly different history.
+
+
+
+ Not talking on a full refactoring, or a port of the software, but bring s the real software with none to minor modifications.
+
+
+
+ There's plenty of reasons to do that, from historical software archeology to real requirements on closed software companies that need to at least access some proprietary format to export for a different used one.
+
+
+
+ What was done on KDE 1 ( and KDE 2 at the moment ) was an patient exercise in find the best solutions without properly destroy the code, and what is intended on here, is show steps tooke for the process, that can be easily applied to several other cases.

+ What do I need for my IoT Cloud platform?
+
+
+ I just want my device to send data somewhere. How hard can it be?
+
+
+
+ The right IoT platform lets your devices send data somewhere, in a reliable and secure way, and you don't have to care how. This is a talk for those who care about the ""how"" part, with focus on open source building blocks. What is the basic functionality I need in my cloud? Why do I need this functionality? Then what? There are plenty of questions, let's explore some answers.

+
+ Joakim is Software Architect at Endian Technologies where he maintains their IoT Cloud Platform, Endian SCORE, and also helps clients with cloud infrastructure work. Previously, he has been CTO at a couple startups where he designed and implemented their backends from scratch. Joakim lives by the mantra "never stop learning".
