profusion talks and events
small review of talks and events by ProFUSION
October and November are being busy months regarding public talks and events that ProFUSION participated. Not just lots of them, but broad scope covering business, free software philosophy and the usual technical talks.
Covering philosophy and a bit of business were talks by Gustavo and Eduardo. Gustavo’s How to employ free software in your venture at UNICAMP event by CONPEC covered different use cases of free software in startups or more established business, from just being users of free software, contributing code up to creating and releasing your own projects. Eduardo de Barros Lima presented at ENACOMP “Linux and Free Software market opportunities”.
Given its strong tech background, couple of ProFUSION employees did presentations covering WebKit, BlueZ and event oriented programming.
At UNIFEG’s COMPUFEG event Gustavo explained the “event oriented programming” concept that guides most of GUI applications, how to create your own main loop given the basic principles. Rafael Antognolli explained what is WebKit, how the project is structured and its community, explaining how ProFUSION (re)created, contributed and maintains WebKit-EFL port upstream.
Gustavo Padovan just became the Linux Kernel Bluetooth Maintainer in time to speak about the BlueZ project and the current status and planned changes to Linux Bluetooth stack at Embedded Linux Conference-Europe and then Linux Plumbers Conference.
As regular attendee ProFUSION participated into Brazilian Government’s “14BIS” that explained overall goals and incentives to make our Football World Cup (2014) and Olympic Games (2016) rock with excellent combination of technology to fulfill social and security requirements while staying environment friendly.
