We're going to start the new year off with an interview. Bradley
and our host will chat about the Software Freedom Conservancy,
Free Software and licensing and his history in the Free Software
movement.
Biography:
Bradley M. Kuhn is the Policy Fellow and Hacker-in-Residence at
Software Freedom Conservancy and editor-in-chief of copyleft.org.
Kuhn began his work in the software freedom movement as a
volunteer in 1992, when he became an early adopter of Linux-based
systems, and began contributing to various Free Software projects,
including Perl. He worked during the 1990s as a system
administrator and software developer for various companies, and
taught AP Computer Science at Walnut Hills High School in
Cincinnati. Kuhn's non-profit career began in 2000, when he was
hired by the FSF. As FSF's Executive Director from 2001–2005, Kuhn
led FSF's GPL enforcement, launched its Associate Member program,
and invented the Affero GPL. Kuhn was appointed President of
Software Freedom Conservancy in April 2006, was Conservancy's
primary volunteer from 2006–2010, and has been a full-time staffer
since early 2011. Kuhn holds a summa cum laude B.S. in Computer
Science from Loyola University in Maryland, and an M.S. in
Computer Science from the University of Cincinnati. Kuhn's
Master's thesis discussed methods for dynamic interoperability of
Free Software programming languages. Kuhn received the O'Reilly
Open Source Award in 2012, in recognition for his lifelong policy
work on copyleft licensing. Kuhn has a blog and co-hosts the
audcast, Free as in Freedom.
Donald Mac McCarthy: (ab)Using DNS
Description:
Let's take a look at DNS from a new perspective. In this
presentation we will discuss using DNS for cost savings and speed
increases in datastore operations. We will also take advantage of
DNS's unique architecture and capabilities to improve redundancy
and increase distribution for near zero cost. Finally, I will show
how to push security farther toward the entry into the technology
stack and make our applications a part of our security posture.
