From arjen at openstem.com.au Wed Jan 3 17:10:49 2018 From: arjen at openstem.com.au (Arjen Lentz) Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2018 16:10:49 +1000 (EST) Subject: [lca2018-chat] Request for friends travelling from US to LCA Message-ID: <1389710122.152596.1514959849742.JavaMail.zimbra@openstem.com.au> Hi friends, Our Tash is really into photography, and wants to acquire a Canon DSLR. With their prices in AU, it's better to grab one in the US. Except many shops don't ship these kits internationally. Anyhow, long story short... would any of you travelling from the US be able to carry in a camera to Sydney? The whole kit is about 5kg in its original packaging, but you'll want to unpackage it and just have the camera in its shoulder case. The body and lenses and such should be carry-on, just to be safe. The kit also includes a tripod which would go in checked luggage. You'll just need to consider what airline you're flying and what their rules are on hand luggage. If you're only carrying a laptop and some small bits, the camera generally shouldn't be a problem - but milage will very between airlines... If you are able&willing to help, please contact me off-list. Thanks! Regards, Arjen.

This may be difficult if the receipt for the goods has Arjen's name on it. This is especially so if you're carrying the stuff as hand luggage, since customs officers will be more likely to see it, even if you use automated entry processing (SmartGate) Not declaring dutiable goods is a crime which is punishable by an on-the-spot fine, and you can't enter the country if you can't pay the fine, and you can't carry the goods in if you can't pay the duties + taxes. So basically, It's worth making sure you have the means to pay the GST+duty and the spare time (1-2 hours on arrival) to go through the longer customs processing lines on arrival. --Chris -- --Christopher Neugebauer Jabber: chrisjrn at gmail.com -- IRC: chrisjrn on irc.freenode.net -- WWW: http://chrisjrn.com -- Twitter: @chrisjrn From duncan_roe at optusnet.com.au Thu Jan 4 08:56:23 2018 From: duncan_roe at optusnet.com.au (Duncan Roe) Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 08:56:23 +1100 Subject: [lca2018-chat] Request for friends travelling from US to LCA In-Reply-To: References: <1389710122.152596.1514959849742.JavaMail.zimbra@openstem.com.au> Message-ID: <20180103215623.GA3302@dimstar.local.net> On Wed, Jan 03, 2018 at 08:33:00AM -0800, Christopher Neugebauer wrote: > On 2 January 2018 at 22:10, Arjen Lentz wrote: > > > > You'll just need to consider what airline you're flying and what their rules are on hand luggage. > > If you're only carrying a laptop and some small bits, the camera generally shouldn't be a problem - but milage will very between airlines... > > > > YMMV, and IANAL, but: > > Technically, if it's a new and unused good whose purchase price > exceeds AUD$900, you have to declare it at the border and pay 10% GST > + import duty on the goods too, unless you can demonstrate an > intention to bring the camera back home with you when you finish your > trip.

FYI all, I wasn't asking anything edgy. Having travelled widely, I'm well aware of how things work. For reference of the AU duty free concession rules, see https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Trav/Ente/Duty-Free-concessions You'll note the point on items that have been owned/used for some time (no issue bringing in and taking out), so that will include any laptop, tablet, phone and camera unless they're particularly brand-spanking new. Other items (e.g. brandnew stuff) has a limit of AUD 900 per person for anyone 18+yo, specifically including cameras and electronic equipment. Regards, Arjen.

Take a photo of box before recycling. All it takes is one irate customs official to decide they don't like the look of you and they can arbitrarily decide to charge you duty, require you unlock/turn on and demonstrate laptops,phones and cloud accounts/storage. Both NZ and AU have implemented some of the broadest border seizure controls under the guise of anti-piracy and terrorism laws in the last decade. The US is awful, well NZ and Australian border officials have just as much if not more legal power - it's just not quite as stressed in public rage. To be honest tho, just don't bring anything that is remotely food/wood/plant related you probably will be fine. -Joel On 4 January 2018 at 17:02, Arjen Lentz wrote: > Hi Duncan > > > I usually try to have "something to declare" because I have found those > lines to > > be shorter ;) > > True too! > > > FYI all, I wasn't asking anything edgy. > Having travelled widely, I'm well aware of how things work. > > For reference of the AU duty free concession rules, see > https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Trav/Ente/Duty-Free-concessions > > You'll note the point on items that have been owned/used for some time (no > issue bringing in and taking out), so that will include any laptop, tablet, > phone and camera unless they're particularly brand-spanking new. > > Other items (e.g. brandnew stuff) has a limit of AUD 900 per person for > anyone 18+yo, specifically including cameras and electronic equipment. > > > Regards, > Arjen. > -- > lca2018-chat mailing list > lca2018-chat at lists.lca2018.linux.org.au > http://lists.lca2018.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/lca2018-chat > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <9891e37d6b44986f3b959eddb3e53f5e@lca2018.org> Open Hardware Miniconf The Open Hardware Miniconf is a 1-day event at LCA that provides a fun introduction to electronics and hardware hacking. It starts with an assembly session, where you will have the opportunity to learn how to solder while building your own little robot. Places for the assembly session are strictly limited, so registration is required. Even if you have your ticket for the conference already you still need to register for the miniconf separately if you wish to participate in the assembly session. Anyone else with a valid conference ticket who doesn't want to participate in the assembly session is more than welcome to come along for the talks though. The cost of the assembly session is $65, which includes all the parts required for you to build your own robot with Bluetooth and WiFi, running MicroPython on an ESP32 microcontroller. Some subsidised places are also available for those who can't afford to attend. See http://www.openhardwareconf.org/wiki/OHMC2018 for more information and to register for the assembly session. ================ Practical hands-on accessibility testing For anyone wanting to attende Nicolas Steenhout's accessiblity hands accessibilty tutorial (https://rego.linux.conf.au/schedule/presentation/50/) - to get the most out of it there is a little bit of of preparation work required. Details can be found here: http://incl.ca/speaker/practical-hands-accessibility-testing-preparation/ =============== Hotel Deals Our deals with participating hotels are now expired - anyone still looking to book rooms should contact the hotels directly to see what can be done for you or use one of the many online hotel booking search engines.

Conversely you can add your favourite eating establishment there so that others can know all about it. 3. https://wiki.linux.conf.au/wiki/Birds_of_a_Feather_sessions_(BoFs) Birds of a feather sessions allow delegates with similar interests to meet up and share those interests with each other. From Dungeons and Dragons, to MySQL, to ARM architecture, to early morning running - if you want to hold a get together with like minded people then this is the place to organise it. 4. https://wiki.linux.conf.au/wiki/Information_for_Delegates This hopefully is a good starting point for everyone who is attending. If there is information that is missing from it please feel free to add it yourself or ask someone who may know the answer (even this mailing list), and then update it on the wiki. To edit and update the wiki just use your login from when you registered for a ticket and you should be on your way. The wiki, like this mailing list is provided for attendees to be able to collaborate together so I heartily encourage everyone to get involved.

To do that and keep up with the rates we expect at peak times we need to be able to spit them out quickly. Getting the templates (with all the fancy color bits) pre-printed and loaded into a B&W printer to add in the name text is the tried-and-tested way to get a combination of looking good and still able to print quickly enough to keep up with the queues. Last year's team pre-printed badges, which had some advantages (they looked fantastic! and nobody had to stress about printers breaking down in the middle of rego, or running out of toner, or being bitten by evil DRM randomly deciding that the cartidge was too old and refusing to work any more) but also some disadvantages (we've heard, anecdotally, although this is not universally accepted, that having to rummage in a stack of badges to find the one that matches the person in front of you is slower and more frustrating than pressing a button and picking up the next badge out of the printer) The ideal combination would be enough speed to print the badges on demand, in full-duplex, in full colour, in 10 seconds or less per badge. > > Cheers, > Shaun > > --- > Shaun Walker > Web Developer / Software Developer > Mobile: 0437 3523 39 > Web: http://theshaun.com > Twitter: @theshaun > > > > On 8 Jan. 2018 23:35, "James Polley" wrote: > > On Mon, Jan 8, 2018 at 6:28 PM, Daniel Sobey wrote: > >> Hello List, >> >> Just wondering what font will be used to render the conference badges. >> I can see in the preview that that some emoji do work but when I try and >> enter the flag for Australia it does not render. >> > > That's a really good question, I'm open to suggestions.

Where should foreign visitors change money upon arrival??? Perhaps at > the airpoort? While you definitely can change money at any international airport, usually the rates will be even less favourable there than at downtown banks or downtown bureau de change. Typically what I do when going to a country with different currency is get a small amount ($100-$200) of cash in that country's currency at my local bank before leaving home, and then get the rest by taking money out of an ATM when I'm in the country (usually again a few hundred dollars, to spread out the transaction fees). These days you might even be fine just planning on getting money out in an ATM at the first airport in the country you reach. You'll also find that you can use a Visa/Mastercard (and often Amex/Diners, perhaps with an extra fee) most places, so you may not need that much cash (eg, unlike the USA there's much less need to have cash on hand to give "random" cash tips to people in NZ/Australia). > 1. What should those of us whose phones have incompatible bands do? > Get a 'burner' phone??? If so, any suggestions? There are usually phone stores at the airport too. They can be a reasonable option if you want a "tourist SIM" card (ie, local number, etc) as those are sometimes harder to track down when downtown. But the phones themselves are probably also marked up a fair bit. I'd suggest double checking how incompatible your phone is before deciding if you need another one. A lot of higher end phones are at least tri-band or quad-band, and often that combination will cover at least one of the "foreign" bands. (I have, eg, travelling with my Australiasian-model phone to the USA multiple times and just used that phone -- it worked well enough for the trip.) If it's only tri-band then it might only cover one of the frequencies in Australia which will reduce coverage and/or networks it can roam to. But in the middle of a big city like Sydney even one frequency in common might be sufficient. This page of someone's notes on frequencies used in Australia: http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_phone_frequencies might help cross check against what your phone model supports for 2G/3G/4G (LTE) on which frequencies.

That's my standard practice - international withdrawals at an ATM tend to result in fees around $5-10 with most banks (Australian, at least - YMMV for people who are coming *to* AU) and as such are comparable with getting cash exchanged at many banks/Travelex outlets/etc. I agree with Ewen that you absolutely can get away without much cash at all - you might want some for smaller food outlets that prefer cash to card, and for splitting bills at restaurants that don't like to split for you, but otherwise if you're happy to cop the foreign transaction fee on your card you'll be able to use at least Visa/Mastercard in most places. -- Andrew Donnellan http://andrew.donnellan.id.au andrew at donnellan.id.au -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Be careful though. I once got stuck after making a purchase in NZ at a kiosk without cash. We told them beforehand that we didn't have NZD cash, and were unsure of our ability to pay, and they said they don't take credit card, only EFTPOS, and it would be fine.

In Australia, if you see a card reader, that will basically 100% take both Australian EFTPOS cards and any Australian or international Visa + MasterCard (Amex/Diners/other international credit card/charge card networks can be patchy but still quite common). -- Andrew Donnellan http://andrew.donnellan.id.au andrew at donnellan.id.au -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

With EFTPOS the transaction fee is charged to the customer by the bank and those of us with mortgages generally get those fees waived as part of the deal. Others may get a fixed monthly fee or just pay some small amount per transaction. With Visa/Mastercard/Amex the fee is charged to the retailer. So the retailers will either take the hit, refuse to take "credit" cards (which can include those newer debit cards) or add a surcharge. > Turns out (according to rumour) the EFTPOS network in NZ (as opposed > credit card transactions) is completely different and seperate from the > EFTPOS network in AU.

Possibly same technology different networks. I know NZ was one of the early adopters of EFTPOS which has lead to a slower up-take of the newer credit-card based systems. Anecdotally I think I may have accidentally used my NZ EFTPOS card at a previous LCA but I certainly wouldn't rely on it. Definitely bring a credit/debit card or plan to stop at an ATM if you wan't to avoid fees. I've not run into a place in previous LCAs that didn't take my credit card but I think pretty much all of them added a 2.5% surcharge.

Whoever is interested can join up along the way or just meet for dinner or whatever. If we get enough people, Sol1 will provide a van to drive people around. * 12pm Wildlife Tour at Darling Harbour * 3pm Harbour cruise or Bondi Beach visit * 6.30pm dinner at a city location Sol1 will contribute to the cost and Dave Kempe will run event. We already have a couple of people lined up, so we are looking for whoever else is in town to join us for any of the above events. The cost (and subsidy) will depend on the amount of people who take up the offer and what we all decide to do. So, if people can email dave at sol1.com.au if you are interested in attending, I can gather responses and make a little mailing list and get things organised. My mobile number is +61413022143 in case you need to contact me. I will most likely have the van for the whole of the Sunday , so I can even pick up people from the airport in the morning if that works out. Note, this is not an official LCA event, and is just me wanting to make people feel welcome. If we get too many people, we may have to decide based on who has travelled the furthest or something. So, if you are not sure what you were going to be doing on the Sunday, and are OK with hanging out with fellow geeks, please get in touch.

There are buses that leave from out front if you prefer. Rooms are super cheap at $65 per night with shared bathrooms or cheaper for a 7 nights stay. Wifi is free but awful. There is better wifi across the road at the Stanton library which is open during business hours. There?s no air con. It?s very basic though the rooms have tv and come with crockery etc. There are share kitchens and courtyard for outside smoking. http://www.falconlodge.com.au/ cheers Rosie -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For those that don't know a key signing party is a session where we prove our identities to each other and confirm that we own that gpg key building a web of trust between participants. I have not yet booked a time but i'm thinking of running this on Thursday or Friday possibly during lunch or during one of the regular conference slots. Anyone can attend the session even if you don't yet have a key. If you are new to this feel free to chat with me during the breaks and I can guide you on how to get started. Please submit your key to the following website: http://biglumber.com/x/web?keyring=7983 before we end submission on Wednesday night. I'll try and organize to have printed copies of the keys during the day for you to mark off. If the conference organizers can help with printing (or suggesting a place close that can print) it would be appreciated. As we have 2 free form text fields that will be printed on the badge I would recommend you put either the full fingerprint or just the last 8 numbers is usually sufficient to look up a gpg key. ? 28F8 2EA3 26A3 7748 EC41 CD28 00D4 08C4 FA9E C035 ? 0xFA9EC035 Before you leave home remember to bring some sort of identity as well as a few copies of your key printed out. Know that the organizer could have changed paper copy so don't trust it, read your fingerprint off your own printout or a device you trust.

This was despite being well known by my name in the room as well as going by that name publicly all over the web, on the website of my employer, etc. I'd like to respectfully suggest that keysigners at LCA reflect for themselves on what it means to strictly require government-issued photo ID as proof of identity over and above all other forms of social identification, what kind of people may be excluded on that basis, what kind of difficulties it could create for those people, and (most importantly) whether it pushes away some of the people who could benefit the most from security and involvement in our community. Of course I'm not asking people to be less serious about verification - just to reconsider how it should be judged. In my own view, we've created a very impoverished distributed security platform if we tut-tut and frown when asked to sign a key without a document of proof from the state.

If you're a potential employer, please add yourself to the wiki page at https://wiki.linux.conf.au/wiki/Jobs_Page. Job seekers are likewise welcome to add their details to that wiki page, but do bear in mind that it's a *public* wiki, so don't if don't want to. Then, come down to the BoF where employers give a quick spiel, job seekers likewise if they're comfy doing so, and hopefully some nice matchmaking ensures :-) Cheers, Tim -- Tim Serong Senior Clustering Engineer SUSE tserong at suse.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Unfortunately because I don't know you its hard for me to come to a key signing and sign your key, whereas if I didn't know Daniel I could look at his official ID and go that is probably him and sign his keys. If I worked with you or spent a lot of time at a LUG / Hackerspace etc and could see that you clearly use that as your identity everywhere i'd probably sign your key.

We will do some investigation and get it sorted. In the meantime, if you go to https://rego.linux.conf.au you will see a box on the left side of the page with Paid Items (or maybe Unpaid if you have not paid the invoice yet). This will show what you have selected. If you are missing something, the buttons in the Add/Update Items box will let you fix that up.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Throwing more "gah, more stuff to care about" on the fire, I tried to enter some Chinese characters on the 'free text' line in the account info - they showed up fine in the browser (debian/firefox), but in the preview image they were the unicode placeholder boxes (no chinese chars at all). Presumably the fonts are missing from the server generating the preview image, but I have no idea if this would affect the actual printed tickets. It's not a major issue for me, just a bit of fun, but just something to be aware of.

Matrix is an open source chat server that has most of the features of slack. It can be configured to act as a bridge between irc, matrix and slack so all 3 can be in the same room and communicate with each other. Does anyone know if this is still set up and is last year's slack still there?

When it's happened, it's fractured the conversation between IRC and Slack. Last time I saw this done, there were several bots copying logs back and forth but it was impossible to have a conversation that spanned both platforms. I hated it and I'd be really annoyed if it happened again. I know slack has worked very well for some other conferences (eg, PyCon-AU) - but in those places, Slack is the primary comms channel, and the conversation is unified in that one place and that's great. LCA's primary comms channel is IRC and email, and I don't like what happens when we fracture the public conversation into closed proprietary invite-only silos. That said - I haven't seen that kind of slack<->IRC bridge for a few years; perhaps they've improved now and wont' fracture the conversation the same way? Last year, we had some wonderful attendees who set up an IRC<->Matrix gateway, and a Slack<->Matrix gateway, and that seemed to work reasonably well - as far as i could tell, there was just one conversation-space that spanned IRC+Matrix+Slack reasonably well. The IRC<->Matrix part of that still seems to be going, but I have no idea about the Slack side of it. If you're suggesting slack because you want that unified-across-devices push-notification multiple-conversation-with-easy-sub-channels rich-text-and-emoji-and-anigif-laden feel, I'd strongly suggest you come join us in https://riot.im/app/#/room/#linux.conf.au:matrix.org rather than trying to set up a slack<->IRC bridge.

I believe that's the Monday after the conference, not the first day of the conference. (Not that the question is any less valid, but to avoid confusion!)

There was an email sent out on the 14th (Sunday evening) titled: Registration for the LoliBot build session at Open Hardware Miniconf 2018 which seems to be the confirmation email; it's not clear if that just went to those who "made the cut" or if there was another to those on the waiting list to get in. But possibly you want to go hunting for an email with that subject filtered away into a folder? Given that the email talked about "Test and Tag" testing on electronics being required, and I'd guess it's a NSW/Australian test required, I'd be inclined to leave your soldering iron at home in NZ either way. But maybe smaller tools that are easier to travel with might be worth packing?

We had been keeping an eye on developments in regards to public transport. Our current understanding is that the full strike action will take place on Monday the 29th, which is after the conference. However on Thursday the 25th there may also be some disruptions to trains due to staff not doing any overtime on that day. Although i can't find a link to an article that says that at this time, and that may have changed due to the strike action. If you are using trains during the week please just keep an ear out and be aware of alternate ways of getting around.

We will have posters and signs up with arrows starting from Sunday. The check-in desk will open between 3pm-5pm on Sunday for anyone who is around and wants to collect their conference badge early. Otherwise it will be open each day from 8am. The boarding passes that you receive make the check-in and badge collection process easier. If for any reason you don't have it with you then the people on the desk can look you up manually and sort you out, if required. The conference is spread over a few buildings. All of the room numbers are listed at the top of the columns on https://rego.linux.conf.au/schedule/main/ UTS have an interactive and searchable map system if you want to check it out here: http://wayfinding.uts.edu.au/ We'll get some more updates to the wiki happening soon. Unless someone out in the community wants to do that for us? (the wiki is editable by attendees).

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: In the middle of doing other things, I threw together a really basic little test environment for anyone who wants to play with the badge rendering - either by playing with the badge template, or by finding a more better way to render the SVG into a something we can use for a preview without relying on the fonts available on someone's desktop. You can check it out at https://gitlab.com/LCA2018/rendertest If you're comfortable with Docker, you should be able to use the "make_badge.sh" script to turn the SVG in the repo into a PDF. If you're not so comfortable with Docker, you should be able to send a merge request, and Gitlab's CI should generate a PDF for you.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello Anthony, No need to pre-register for miniconf's just go to the room and sit down. For the ones where you need to pre-register it is about having enough parts to put together the thing. There can be talks for open hardware after they make thair things so there still may be something interesting if you are not going to put together the kit. Mini conf's are put together by volunteers and have thair own schedule. Feel free to swap between mini conf's and between sessions as you don't need to stay in the one room all day. The time slots do not always line up so take that in to consideration when switching rooms.

Last time I did so I Uber?d it from around Central which cost me ~$10 one way. The course is a loopy figure 8-like course with a nice hill climb which will make you enjoy the coffee you drink on the way out to Mascot for your flight home.

It's still listed in the initial menu, even. I kinda intend to spend some time writing a scraper and generate a more proper Pentabarf/FRab-style XML file with better metadata and other advantages like not sentence-length room names, the rooms being in the same order every day, etc. (If anybody has access to the original schedule data in a better format than HTML I'd love to get a copy by the way.

You can check it out at https://gitlab.com/LCA2018/rendertest If you're comfortable with Docker, you should be able to use the "make_badge.sh" script to turn the SVG in the repo into a PDF. If you're not so comfortable with Docker, you should be able to send a merge request, and Gitlab's CI should generate a PDF for you.

Presumably the fonts are missing from the server generating the preview image, but I have no idea if this would affect the actual printed tickets.

For now, https://rego.linux.conf.au/tickets/mybadge.png probably gives you the best idea about what would come out of we printed it today, but I hope to improve that if I can figure out how to improve the rendering.

Hello Arjen, What kind of hackers is this for? There are computer hackers, and then there are life/ETC hackers? (Blue Is the Warmest Colour; also my favourite!!! :D) I will definitely attend if it's in a break. Should I say how depressed I am about my attempts at finding employment as a programmer (without signing an NDA ? Saint IGNUcius condemns them), how depressed I am about how few hours are in the day to learn more languages & about said languages, or am I misinterpreting this event? I think I saw some"-thing" about insomnia on the website; I don't "have" insomnia, but I keep disrupting my sleep cycle for assignments/exams/ETC? LIVE LONG AND PROSPER \V/, AGENT S. ?

I understand you're not familiar with BlueHackers. As the About page on the bluehackers.org indicates: === The objective of this initiative is to make visible that there are many fellow geeks among us who are intimately familiar with depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. It helps to know you?re not alone. And it?s not because we?re geeks, but because we?re human. The Australian BeyondBlue site is of course an excellent resource, but, because geeks have a specific work environment, there are also particular challenges in dealing with these issues, and that?s where we feel our group can help with additional insights, tips, and posts from others with experience. Using the logo (our little stickers that people place on their laptop), we can also make the topic visible at meetings and conferences around the world, ensuring that indeed no geek need feel alone in this, or feel unsupported. They can simply look around and see. Anybody is able to show their support and understanding, in a kind and non-intrusive manner. === regards, Arjen.

Indeed, that's where it comes from. I don't know the exact etymology for "feeling blue", however it's used in a broad range of English literature at least from the early-mid 1800s. There was some claim for a naval (sea-faring) origin, but that's unsubstantiated. And just to be clear, "feeling blue" does NOT mean "gloomy, downtrodden, and down on your luck" Its meaning according to reputable English dictionaries (such as Oxford's) is: (of a person or mood) melancholy, sad, or depressed. Depression, and being down on one's luck, are quite different matters. Regards, Arjen.

Best to check with the conference organisers (I assume your recruiter doesn't have a ticket to the conference). I'm not one of the organisers, so this is not an official position, but: in my opinion, if I were evaluating a work place and potential employer, I would prefer to talk to someone who has a job similar to the one I'm interested, rather than a recruiter. I.e., I would much rather talk to you than someone in HR. Perhaps bring along some of your recruiter's business cards if you think that is the best next step.

I don't know anything about the Slack side of things, nor do I particularly care, but if someone deems it necessary to have a Slack channel, feel free to get in touch and I'll link it via Matrix, which worked well last year ? for the 13 people that used it (compared to 105 Matrix users, and 153 on IRC)? As others have said, it'd be fantastic to see more people join the Matrix universe. During last year's LCA, almost a hundred people signed up, so let's beat that this year! There's a number of clients: - "Riot" in the app stores - https://riot.im/app (or you can run your own riot-web instance) - A desktop web container app: https://riot.im/desktop.html - matrix-ircd, and plenty others: https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html#clients All these will allow you to quickly make an account. Do note that you'll be asked for e-mail address and phone number, but those are gathered only to facilitate others finding you, and you can just skip entering those data. Once online, join #linux.conf.au:matrix.org, or, if you are interested in this stuff on a meta-level, #lca-matrix:matrix.org. Yes, there are still some features Slack provides which Riot doesn't, but those are being worked on. It's Free software, so it's unstoppable. And in the end, you get state-of-the-art tech with federation, the choice of clients, plenty of cool integrations, and features that Slack won't ever see. Finally, if you want to know a bit more, I delivered a lightning talk on Matrix last year: https://youtu.be/brNmfD1Lb7M?t=868 and I'll be happy to chat about this on site. I've also registered a BoF on decentralisation for Friday lunch: https://wiki.linux.conf.au/wiki/Decentralise_All_The_Things See you next week, -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ "verbing weirds language." -- calvin spamtraps: madduck.bogus at madduck.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: HELLO LCA PEOPLE! The Developers Developers Miniconf -- which is happening on Monday as part of LCA -- is looking for Lightning Talks! They're being held from 16:40 onwards. # What's a lightning talk? Lightning talks are 5-minute long talks, and are a great opportunity to share something interesting that you know with an audience. They're a great opportunity to try out conference speaking without the pressure of making a much longer talk. Usually they're presented with slides or other visual tools. # What topics? Our audience is people who write code, or contribute in any other way to making software. Our miniconf is about making the people who make software better at making software [0]. So, if you've got a talk about programming, or documentation, or tools you use to make software, then you're on-topic. # Signing up Sign up on the day. Talking slots are available first come, first served. See you Monday! --Chris Your friendly former LCA organiser. [0] Basically, our talks develop developers [1].

It's pretty clear that I'm not going to do anything further with these so I'm looking to get rid of them. Before dismantling and recycling them I thought I'd ping the list to see if anyone's interested. * 3x Amstrad CPC 6128 computers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad_CPC) * 4x original CRT monitors for the CPC 6128 computers My initial plan for these when I acquired them in late 1999 was to build a converter to use these as tv-video monitors. However, alternatives surfaced soon after and I didn't end up needing to do this. * 1x Microbyte PC230 The working status of all the above is currently unknown, although everything did work when it was last powered over a decade ago. The equipment is in Adelaide, so for the bulky items (the CRT displays) a local pickup is obviously best. I could possibly get some of the 6128s into my luggage to Sydney. The PC230 would be borderline. If anyone is interested in the above and wants to discuss options please contact me off-list.

Message-ID: <1516325906.5a614c125c8b0@anchor.net.au> Back at the LCA conference in Canberra I thought I would ask if anyone was interested in an Apple Mac Xserve. One person was slightly interested but it's not free. IU rack mount, no video, runs OSX, comes with an original kit of spare parts and disks. Power PC chip, 8 GB RAM. It originally cost me about A$2500 and was setup as a web server. Any offers? Getting OSX onto it was an interesting exercise in remote installation... Its main use would be if your organisation already has one and needs another for spare parts etc. It's too big to carry and is in Thornleigh, a suburb of Sydney. Thornleigh pickup only.

You can check it out at https://gitlab.com/LCA2018/rendertest If you're comfortable with Docker, you should be able to use the "make_badge.sh" script to turn the SVG in the repo into a PDF. If you're not so comfortable with Docker, you should be able to send a merge request, and Gitlab's CI should generate a PDF for you.

The session will share some hints and tips for getting the most out of your LCA experience as well as a little of the events history, presented by a small panel of experts and yours truly. We expect to finish by 5pm at which point it is likely that folk that so wish to can repair to a suitable venue for further discourse, food and/or beverages. At the time of writing we're awaiting details on the location for this but it'll be convenient to the conference venue. This after gathering isn't an official LCA thing as such, just a suggestion for a common meeting point :) If you can't make the Newcomers Welcome Session for some reason don't worry overmuch - the official conference open on Monday morning will give you the key things you need to know.

It is pretty common for the emails to take a while on this list. I also think there is some moderation of new posters than means sometimes emails have to be manually approved (which can delay them hours). Even for regular posters a 30 minute delay is common.

I found this: Received: from mailhost.linux.org.au (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mailhost.linux.org.au (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2D846151C; Sat, 20 Jan 2018 12:53:31 +1100 (AEDT) Delivered-To: lists.lca2018.linux.org.au-lca2018-chat at mailhost.linux.org.au Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mailhost.linux.org.au (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7B2BF14E9 for ; Sat, 20 Jan 2018 11:53:02 +1100 (AEDT) The email itself was sent just before 11:23 Adelaide time, which was 11:53 AEDT. However, the mail was delayed for a full hour on mailhost.linux.org.au for unknown reasons. Katie Bell's response was also delayed through the same system but only by around 10 minutes: Received: from mailhost.linux.org.au (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mailhost.linux.org.au (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8590B1571; Sat, 20 Jan 2018 12:08:28 +1100 (AEDT) Delivered-To: lists.lca2018.linux.org.au-lca2018-chat at mailhost.linux.org.au Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mailhost.linux.org.au (Postfix) with ESMTP id 54F4914E9 for ; Sat, 20 Jan 2018 11:58:49 +1100 (AEDT) Other respondants experienced varying delays. While the delay is not fixed it can obviously be substantial at times. Presumedly the server's load is high for some reason: perhaps with the conference approaching it's getting flooded by spammers. I guess we'll have to keep this in mind: when posting to the list, be aware that the message could be delayed by a substantial length of time. If a more immediate delivery is required IRC or Matrix might be the better bet.

True, it is greylist-like behaviour. However, for greylisting to be effective it needs to occur during the SMTP transaction with the sender's mail server. It works on the assumption that spammer servers won't bother to retry a temporary failure. In the case of the list posts the delays are introduced between two different components of the mail server handling the list (mailhost.linux.org.au). Greylisting here wouldn't achieve anything because the list's mailserver will always retry when communicating with itself. jonathan From jared at ring.gs Sat Jan 20 14:47:36 2018 From: jared at ring.gs (Jared Ring) Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2018 13:47:36 +1000 Subject: [lca2018-chat] Trains Message-ID: <35ae232e-2102-8557-5ea8-1b647d4891c0@ring.gs> Hi Sydney-siders With all the press regarding Sydney Trains over the last week or so have I got rocks in my head thinking using the train to from the airport is the way to go?

Very quick and only about $16. There are lifts at several stations, including the airport stations (lifts + escalators, IIRC you may need to use both) and Central (nearest station to UTS; lifts, stairs, and escalators in various combinations from memory). You'll need to look signs to figure out which direction to head for the lift. Certainly this trip in Sydney I didn't have to carry my suitcase up any stairs -- lifts and ramps were sufficient at Central -- for which I was grateful. At least at the airport Opal cards appeared to be free -- just pay for the value you needed on the card, rounded up to the next $10 AFAICT, so $20 covers Airport to City (about $16.50 on Opal?) and leaves a little extra. At the airport you can also get single-use "airport to city" passes from the ticket machines (around AU$18 IIRC) if you don't think you'll use an Opal card again. (Beware that AFAICT most Sydney buses are Opal card only, so if you think you might use any public transport the LCA week it may still be worth getting the Opal card.) And yes, Sydney Airport Train was very quick. About 20 minutes from arriving at International station until I was at Central station, including time at the stations. For reference: https://wiki.linux.conf.au/wiki/Transport has a bunch of detail now. And: https://wiki.linux.conf.au/wiki/Airport_arrivals_and_departures_page might help with figuring out if anyone else is arriving close enough to your time that it's worth trying to organise a Taxi / Uber / something else. As someone else said if you have 2-3 people a Taxi is probably cheaper overall and potentially gets you to the door of where your're staying too.

See http://www.retailers.opal.com.au/ But if you're arriving at Sydney Airport, you can just buy it from the ticket counter at the airport train station.

Don't know whether registration has closed or whatever... -------------------------- The LCA2018 team are pleased to announce that we will have a child minding option in place for the duration of linux.conf.au 2018 from 22-26 January. Please note that although we have not been able to find a sponsor, we are subsidising the cost of this childcare. The cost is only $30/day for the first child from a family and $15/day for any subsequent children in a family unit. The child minding facility will be located nearby to the conference in Mountain St and will be staffed by qualified professionals. The service will be available from 8am to 6pm each day. Payment can be made through our online system (https://rego.linux.conf.au/ti ckets/category/11), and you will need to also register your children with our provider, Charlton Brown - instructions are on the registration site. We do realise that this announcement has come very close to the conference - we were holding off in the hope that we would be able to secure a sponsor for this service. As it is we have made the decision to offer this at a subsidised rate. If you haven't secured your ticket for the conference yet time is running out to do so. We look forward to seeing everyone in just a few weeks!

The spare parts kit contains a main logic board and "other parts" (according to the outside of the box); there is also a small rack mounting kit and helpful documentation. Also a Mac Xserve distro in box with CD and manual.

My AirBNB which is on Regent St pretty close to Central station comes with an underground parking spot that I am not using. You are welcome to use it.

As part of your welcome pack, you will find a Tomu USB device. This is a small, open-source computer designed to live inside your USB port.? Our crowdfunding campaign ends on 8 February, but we've got a pre-production unit just for you.? More information about Tomu, including hardware schematics and source code, is available at https://tomu.im/.? Here's some quick information. Your Tomu unit comes without a case.? If you have a high-resolution 3D printer, you can print a case from https://github.com/im-tomu/tomu-hardware/blob/master/case/tomu_0.3_case.stl. If not, you can fold over a thick piece of paper and use that to make contact.? Business cards work well for this approach. Remember that Tomu was designed to be left in your USB port. The default software includes only the default serial bootloader. We've developed a Device-Firmware-Update bootloader that you might want to use instead.? The new bootloader can load code using dfu-util, which is likely present in your package manager.? We've brought the factory test jig here to LCA, and you can use it to flash this new bootloader.? It's a quick three-second process, and gives you a peek into how the factory process works. We have a simple blinking demo available at https://github.com/im-tomu/tomu-samples, and a more complete sample U2F firwmare available at https://github.com/im-tomu/chopstx/tree/efm32/u2f To program software, you can either use Xmodem (if you have the default serial bootloader) or dfu-util (if you have the newer DFU bootloader).? You should load the .bin file, not the .ihex file or .elf file. If you have any questions about Tomu, feel free to contact me via sean at xobs.io, or find me around LCA.

(b) Load the U2F firmware onto your Tomu and test it with your favourite site. Help audit and improve the source code. (c) Help write "Getting the developer environment set up" instructions for your favourite OS (it should just be a recent ARM bare metal GCC). Who's going to do BeOS? :-P (d) Organise a BOF, have a development party and generally help get people excited about the project. (e) Share the project with 2 other people who would be interested in it but are not at the conference. I created the Tomu project because I believed that a hobbyist should be able to do things like this and to help make U2F more accessible. Sean picked up the production and crowd funding to make it possible for people to get them easily. Many others have contributed software, docs and expertise. What will you do? We have even more Tomu boards available and contributing is a great way to get some more boards for cool hacks or to share with friends and family. Let's put a computer in every USB port! Lastly, if you don't think you will use your Tomu, give it to someone you think who will. Looking forward to all the cool things you will do!

I was thinking more on the lines of $100. I was interested because we (the ppc64 kernel team) still support the G5 processor and it would be nice to have a rackmount chassis for our CI setup. However we still have a few desktops that do the job and $1000 is a bit too steep for a decade old server.

I need to be in Australia, and particularly Melbourne, a few more times this year, and some of those are relatively close together so I'm considering staying in Melboure in between some of those events and just "working a bit more remotely" than usual (for most of what I do even the 2 hour time difference to NZ clients probably doesn't matter, and might even help with "after work" change windows; and some of my clients are in non-NZ timezones anyway). Can anyone recommend friendly, convenient, nice to work in, co-working spaces in Melbourne? Ideally either near north Melbourne, or in the CBD/easily reached by tram from North Melbourne. Preferably with reasonable Internet access, and either per-day or per-week rates (I know some co-working spaces are per-month only, which wouldn't really work for me at this stage). Also if anyone has suggestions on good ways to find/book short stay furnished apartments in Melbourne -- in the 1-3 week sort of range -- at reasonable rates that'd be useful too. North Melbourne, perhaps nearish to Fitzroy, would be ideal. But being based outside Australia I'm not even sure what's the "go to" sites for short-stay/furnished apartments in Australia.... Thanks for any suggestions, Ewen PS: Replies off list probably best, unless y'all think it's going to be useful to others.

Whether you're - involved in education directly, or - just interested in what's going on (being a parent is often a good reason!), or - you'd perhaps like to contribute somewhere but don't know quite what yet, or - you'd like to learn more about the real curriculum vs what you hear from the media... Or another background and reason entirely, you're most welcome to join us, listen and also participate in some conversations and activities! It'll be educational, and fun.

Look for the tall guy with very little hair[1], and the less tall guy with a long plait and a ridiculous beard[2]. There's also a jobs whiteboard outside the great hall near rego; please treat this as a rather more analogue form of the wiki. We'll merge the two later.

Matrix is a modern messaging platform with many good things going for it. One of the best aspects is the concept of bridges designed to interconnect with other ecosystems. So we set one up for IRC last year, and it's working great. As of right now, 77 Matrix users join the 144 users on IRC. The beauty is that as a user of Matrix, you can now interact with our IRC channel (or any other channel, really) using Riot, a client that works much better on mobile than IRC. Plus it's easy to exchange media, video-conference, comes with widgets such as Etherpad integrated in rooms, etc.? If this piques your interest, install the Riot app, get yourself an account and join #linux.conf.au:matrix.org. There is also a web-based client, and you can use that in addition, for all will be synced with each other. https://riot.im/app/#/room/#linux.conf.au:matrix.org There's also #lca-matrix:matrix.org for all your meta-chat needs about our use of Matrix. Or find me any time for more evangelism. -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ "if confronted with a choice between all the truth in god's right hand and the ever live struggle for truth, coupled with eternal error, in god's left, i would choose the left." -- gotthold lessing spamtraps: madduck.bogus at madduck.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Yes, updating the bootloader won't touch the code you've already got loaded on there.? However, it will automatically boot if there's a valid program loaded, unless it fails or unless you short out the two touch sensors while powering it up. This behavior is unintuitive enough that I might modify the bootloader to support opt-in auto-boot, where it will only auto-boot if your program requests it.

Note how neither of those make any statement about the credibility of the ID provided. They only refer to your own level of diligence, which is independent from e.g. my level of diligence. Beware, I have a very strong take against mass keysignings.? But if you must engage in keysignings, please consider formulating and publishing your policy. Unfortunately, my web server is down and on the other hemisphere, but the document is here for now: http://scratch.madduck.net/madduck-key-certification-policy.txt This will make keysigning just a little bit more useful.

Reusable cups people don't use because they have too many aren't a win either. I like that idea. I vaguely remember at least one previous LCA (or pycon?) let people choose between a keepcup and some other swag item I?m not sure that making it optional helps reduce waste though. If you only order cups for people who ticked the box saying they want a cup, you?d (probably, I?m guessing, based on my experiences this time) have to close orders around Christmas time - and that means about 40% of attendees won?t be offered the choice because they order after the deadline The alternative seems to be to order based on expected numbers and risk having excess stock; which makes professionals less upset but results in organisers from LCAs long post turning up this year with their excess keepcups that they?re *still* trying to get rid of ~6 years later I?d love to hear alternatives, or support for one of these options. I love the idea of reuseable cups that get washed during the day. We investigated using reusables for the morning/afternoon breaks but the UTS caterers didn?t have enough to cater for our numbers, and wouldn?t have been able to wash them on site fast enough even if they did - we?d have had to arrange them being driven off-site each night for washing > > I don't really need another laptop bag or shirt either.

I promised to give some more info about it, so here it is... I recently got a new laptop (previous one having done well for about 5 years!) The new one is a Lenovo Yoga 520. The exact one is: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/laptops/lenovo/lenovo-yoga-520-14-2-in-1-laptop-onyx-black/503711/ Yes, I bought it at a local JB Hifi. Bear with me. Price right now is $1099 incl.GST (special sale thing going on). (there are other models around, including ones with i3 CPU and non-FullHD, so be very careful!) It comes with Win10. I left it there, but you can choose to not set it up - in which case the license won't activate and thus you won't have a EULA arrangement with Microsoft. Your choice. It has a quad core Intel i5 8250U 1.6GHz (turbo to 3.4GHz) which is a quad core + hyperthreading. Why not an i7? Because you will mainly kill your battery life, in return for very little extra performance - remember it's a mobile CPU infrastructure. A desktop replacement approach will always be bigger, heavier and eat more power (been there, tried that). It comes with 8GB RAM. However, physically it's a replaceable module and you can upgrade it yourself to 16GB. Unfortunately only 1 module so single channel (=slower), but it performs decently anyhow. I haven't yet done a RAM upgrade on it as the 8GB will do me for now. Then, the model linked has 128GB SSD, it's actually an M.2 module. You could upgrade it. But, the laptop actually has a full 2.5" space inside, occupied by a heavy stainless steel bracket to keep the structural integrity. So I put an SSD in there (960GB actually, a Sandisk I snaffled for only a few hundred dollars the previous year on black friday), and boot my Linux straight from there. That only 'cost me' 5 grams, as the SSD is barely heavier than the steel bracket I took out. My total laptop weight now is 1.785 kg. Battery is built-in. Can be replaced though. You can get in to do the RAM/SSD upgrade and other internal trickery by removing 10 little Phillips screws and carefully unclicking the bottom panel from the rest. It's very straightforward. You just need to be gentle. The screen is 14" Full HD (1920x1080), touchscreen if you want to use that capability. It actually has a Wacom digitiser in the screen for an ActivePen (2048 different pressure, for real drawing) but I haven't acquired an ActivePen yet - Linux does report the Wacom though. Then, you'll be happy to know that everything works, mostly out-of-the-box. I installed Xubuntu 17.10 (xfce desktop). I tweaked a few things: power management can be improved (others had already done the homework on that), some tweaks for better SSD behaviour, and if you want to have the automatic screen rotation working (for tent/tablet modes) you also need to install some bits for that. The battery life is fantastic, I've got 6-10 hours generally. At LinuxConf I just made the point to myself by actually leaving the charger in my hotel room every day, and I had 4+ hours spare at the end of a day even with presentations and videos having run on it. The laptop has full-size HDMI, and USB-C (as well as regular USB). The HDMI out works out-of-the-box for me, both video and audio. Brilliant. Oh it's an Intel integrated graphics, runs on the clean free/GPL drivers. I've tested it with Runescape and it performs quite adequately. It's not built to be a gaming laptop so it's actually more than reasonable for graphics needs. It won't charge via USB-C, but you can connect an Ethernet port if you need it (I snaffled a USB hub + gigE for $10 from Tim Ansell, rarely need it but it's useful) and of course these lightweight laptops don't have a CD/DVD/BluRay but you can get those very cheaply on USB if you really need to. I won't bother with that at all. You may have spotted me running around at the closing lightning talks to help fix up the video output. The NextDay Video HDMI capture resolution is not natively supported by the laptop's own screen, thus it's not possible to mirror in that context. Use one of the split screens options, and it works perfectly. I'm pleased with this acquisition. I find it a very good laptop for a very decent price. There's always some trade-offs. Regards, Arjen.

I raised two aspects: a) This quadcore i5 performs pretty well. I expect that an i7 which has higher clockrate and more caching also chews more power, and that has a direct effect on battery life. b) Typically, a desktop replacement uses desktop (not mobile) component architecture and infrastructure. While that provides desktop performance, again your battery life will suffer. It's a trade-off. This laptop is not a desktop replacement, and thus I do not expect it to be as performant as my snazzy desktop machine. They each have their purpose. For me, a laptop becomes much less useful when the battery doesn't last. I'm a tad confused as to what aspect your response addresses. Are you disagreeing with my basic analysis, and if so where? thanks Regards, Arjen. -- OpenSTEM Pty Ltd: Educational Consulting, Resources & Facilitation W https://openstem.com.au | P 1300 009 385 | T @AUOpenSTEM From madduck at madduck.net Tue Jan 30 14:09:09 2018 From: madduck at madduck.net (martin f krafft) Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2018 16:09:09 +1300 Subject: [lca2018-chat] Join the Matrix at #lca2018 In-Reply-To: <20180124011740.GA28229@fishbowl.rw.madduck.net> References: <20180124011740.GA28229@fishbowl.rw.madduck.net> Message-ID: <20180130030909.GA21290@fishbowl.rw.madduck.net> Dear post-conferencers, Having been among the folks evangelised Matrix/Riot all week during LCA2018, there's a piece of news too good to share, namely that after many months of negotiations, the folks bringing us Matrix/Riot have finally secured a sizeable round of funding ($5m) from a future partner: https://matrix.org/blog/2018/01/29/status-partners-up-with-new-vector-fueling-decentralised-comms-and-the-matrix-ecosystem/ Specifically, I want to point out that these funds will enable the team to prioritise usability, and hopefully make the Riot app and other parts of Matrix more accessible to everyone, as well as push some of the awesome features that make Matrix stand out so much. Please do feel free to reach out at any time to let me know what keeps you from using Matrix, or what you'd like to see improved! ? unless of course you want to head on over directly to https://github.com/matrix-org/ and https://github.com/vector-im/.

It goes without saying that we all lead busy lives and pragmatism often has to prevail over idealism, but if it's not the likes of us FREEDOM LOVERS improving and pushing for more use of the Free alternatives, then who else will??

The TDP is generally a good measure of the power usage of a chip. Most of the electrical energy is eventually converted to heat, so it is a reasonable measure of the input power too. > I raised two aspects: > > a) This quadcore i5 performs pretty well. I expect that an i7 which has higher clockrate and more caching also chews more power, and that has a direct effect on battery life. Well, things are a little more complicated with power management. Both chips probably have similar power requirements in low power states. And the faster CPU could potentially finish its work in a high power state quicker. A larger cache might also mean the CPU can do more without waiting on RAM, allowing it to enter low power state quicker. So it isn't always clear cut. > b) Typically, a desktop replacement uses desktop (not mobile) component architecture and infrastructure.

However, an identical shirt (except for logo) is used by CSR security, and I have now twice been mistaken for a security man while wandering near buildings in the city of Sydney.
