DevConf.cz 2022

Join us for a conference kick-off and learn everything you need to know to have the best possible experience!

Our attendees always tell us how important it is to grab a cup of coffee at DevConf.cz and sit down in the hall for a chat with long-time friends and new acquaintances. We couldn't meet in Brno last year so we worked with our friends at doubleshot to put together a coffee tasting for you to enjoy during the conference. We're pleased to have worked with them again to bring this experience back in 2022!

Doubleshot has chosen three coffees to compliment your experience at the DevConf.CZ 2022 virtual conference. One coffee for each day (3 x 70 g) plus one bonus coffee for the day before or day after.

You can order your coffee on their website for 197 CZK (~7.5 EUR) plus shipping. Order deadlines vary by country, so order early. We look forward to seeing you online.

Relax in between the talks and join us for a class on how to move and breathe with purpose.

The lack of reliable and readily accessible climate-related data has been a hindrance for financial sector stakeholders to properly assess financial stability and manage climate-related risks. This data gap substantially raises the barrier to channeling global capital flows towards climate change mitigation and resilience, by forcing businesses to engage in costly ad-hoc ingestion and curation efforts that cannot benefit from shared data or open protocols.

At the Open Source Climate (OS-Climate) initiative, we are building an open data science platform that supports complex data ingestion, processing and quality management requirements. We take advantage of the latest advances in open source data platform tools, machine learning, and the development of scenario-based predictive analytics by OS-Climate community members.

In order to build a data platform that is open, auditable, and supports durable and repeatable deployments, we leveraged the Operate First program. Operate First builds on the foundation of git-ops to extend open source principles with open deployments and operational knowledge. At OS-Climate, we manage the configuration of our data platform cluster and all of its deployments with GitHub issues and pull requests against the Operate First git repository.

In this talk, we will present the journey of the OS-Climate data commons, from unmanaged prototype cluster to a platform that is rigorously managed by Operate First. You will learn how our data platform is configured by GitHub issues and pull requests, at both the cluster level and at the level of individual application deployments. We will explain how the OS-Climate platform leverages open source tools including KubeFlow, Trino, Jupyter, Elyra pipelines and OpenShift to build maintainable and collaborative pipelines, and federate heterogeneous data sources into a controlled, common data resource for our community of climate data scientists and financial sector stakeholders.  And finally, how the architecture relates to the rigorous Data Governance requirements of the financial sector and regulators on one side, Corporate CSOs who seek to operationalize transitional strategies to greater sustainability, while still inviting participation and innovation from the open source community.

Join us for brief dance lesson and learn basics of swing.

While Europe has been a locus of open source software creation and usage for decades, in the past two years we have seen a flourishing of interest in open source to address both technical questions and, now, social challenges. In this panel, the audience will hear perspectives from four experts on how open source software, open standards, open data, and open artificial intelligence algorithms are shaping the future for Europeans. Together, we will explore the impact of “open” in the Czech Republic, and Brno in particular. We will also learn about initiatives to foster the use of open technologies in service of citizens within other countries, the European Parliament, and some of Europe’s major cities.

Attendees will leave with a solid understanding of the interplay between the work of policy makers, civil servants, and community organizations to make all things open and improve the lives of European citizens and the wider global community.

Since we can't meet in Brno we're doing the next best thing - talking about Brno with our friends from Brno Expat Centre. Join us together with Don Sparling on a virtual walk through Brno's history.

In the 1980s, Brno was a grey industrial city with crumbling buildings and decaying infrastructure. Following the collapse of the Communist system at the end of 1989, things only got worse: within three or four years many of the city's factories had gone bankrupt, and others were operating at only a fraction of their capacity. Thirty years later, Brno is a colourful, dynamic city with a reputation as the tech hub of the Czech Republic and one of the leading tech hubs in the wider Central European region.

How did this happen? After a brief introduction to the story of Brno's growth as an industrial city, this informal talk will cover the transformation of the city in the last three decades, from the city's first tentative steps to agree on a new identity, through the very slow emergence of a new economy in the beginning of the millenium, and finally to the take-off in the last decade or so, with an exponential increase in the numbers of major international firms and the presence of tens of thousands of foreigners in Brno.  

Make sure you stay till the very end of DevConf cos that’s the way how you can win some great prizes. This online competition will test your knowledge from this and past DevConfs as well as the OpenSource world in general. We ship internationally!
