Open Source Conference
am Montag, 17.März 2003, 9.00 bis 17.00 Uhr
Convention Center / CC, Saal 13/14
Parallel zum LinuxPark findet in Zusammenarbeit mit "Open Source
Exchange Program" und Linux International
eine eintägige Konferenz statt.
Das Programm ist für Besucher, die sich generell über den Einsatz von Open-Source-Lösungen informieren wollen.
Hier bietet sich eine der seltenen Möglichkeiten,
sogenannte Maintainer und Linux-Evangelisten hautnah zu erleben. Die Vorträge finden im Kongresszentrum der Deutschen Messe AG statt, so
dass auch technischen Vertiefungen in konzentrierter Atmosphäre gefolgt werden kann.

Linux and Open Source: Current State
[English]
A lot has happened since last CeBIT. Major financial institutions and governments have made a move onto the Linux Operating System. Movie companies have moved development software as well as rendering software onto Linux systems, and the number of Open Source projects on SourceForge has doubled.This talk will discuss some of these happenings and their implications, to set the stage for the rest of the speakers.
Linux and 64-bit [English]
While Linux has had 64-bit virtual address support since 1995, it has only been recently that high-volume chip-makers such as Intel and AMD have brought large address spaces to the masses. Use of these address spaces allow very large memories, filesystems, databases, user models and other benefits in a standard operating system, and in a standard way. This presentation will discuss some of the issues and opportunities brought by 64-bit computing.
United Linux and You: Benefits of Playing Well With Others [English]
Unix vendors created many different distributions with incompatibilities and much redundancy of effort. The Linux Standard Base (LSB) project helps to correct the issues that ISVs face between different distributions, but still does nothing to assist the hardware qualification issue nor the redundancy of effort issue. United Linux solves these problems, yet still allows competition between the vendors. Several months after the announcement of United Linux, distributions based upon this concept have started to appear. This talk will cover the benefits to the customer and to the distributions of using United Linux.
LPI: Linux Certification Done Right [English and German]
There are many models for certification. Some are profit-making, some are non-profit. Some compete for training dollars and some do not. Certification of systems administrators as qualified Linux personnel is so important that LPI was formed as a non-profit organization to bring a standard, vendor-neutral testing of skills to the world.
Apache Web Server Security Secrets [German]
The Apache web server has a very good reputation in terms of security, but absolute security does not exist. If you make your web server available to the public you expose it to certain risks. You may become victim of denial-of-service attacks, get "slapped" by a worm or someone is stealing data from your server by exploiting a particular vulnerability. In this session we take a look through the security vulnerabilities that have affected Apache to date, looking at which are relevant and categorising their severity and exploitability. We then take a look at some of the things an administrator can do to protect themselves against these vulnerabilities. In addition the session will take a look at how security incidents are being handled by the Apache Software Foundation.
New Breakthroughs in Linux Supercomputing [Native German or English]
A discussion on the new frontier of problems that can now be solved with scalable, 64-bit Linux implementations in a low-latency NUMA architecture. Hear about new opportunities for open-source computing that were not possible before the advent of 64-bit NUMA implementations. Specific topics include how large shared-memory spaces, extremely low-latency and low overhead interconnections, and scalable I/O throughput bring the benefits of open-source computing into traditional supercomputing markets. Specific industry areas for discussion include, government/defense, sciences, and manufacturing.

Software Configuration Management with Linux [German]
How do IT Managers of banks ensure that on 01/01/02 at 00:01 a.m. the Euro is the standard currency instead of Deutsche Mark? How does one accomplish that a current security patch will be immediately distributed to all servers which have BIND installed? Software Configuration Management is a common term in large and complex networks. If applications, configurations or data must be installed at a specific date on several machines, one is dependent on an appropriate tool. The talk will define the common and specific requirements of a management tool and will give an overview of current technology. In addition, it will cover which objects and which states should be taken into account. Data transport and the various technology approaches like push and pull, broad and multicast as well as bandwith control will also be discussed. The talk will be completed with security considerations.
Q & A Session [English and German]
Questions will be entertained in both English and German
