Building Cross-Platform Apps with Flutter

Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffQc_2Eu--aoE9E3cLq9TWYkcn8PigEF1qRY1szP6xpRdyeQ/viewform

This session will be a kickstarter for developing mobile apps with the Flutter SDK.
Flutter is a very young SDK from Google to build apps for both Android and iOS using a single code base. Unlike other SDKs, Flutter compiles to native and looks native.
Flutter uses Dart, an OOP language. Prior experience with Dart is not required to attend this session.
This session will cover the workflow involved in creating a flutter application from scratch. Widgets, stateless widgets, state and stateful widgets and other most important aspects of Flutter will be demonstrated in this session.
You'll learn to use the pub repository to quickly add modules to your project.
By the end of this session, you'll be able to develop amazing app experiences with Flutter and Dart.

Check out www.flutter.io/

Preparing for the Flutter App Development Workshop:
System Requirements:
1. You need a fast PC, preferably above 4GB of RAM and a dual core CPU.
2. Install the following software:
—> Android Studio: https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads
(Install the recommended package for your OS)
Open Android Studio after installation and perform the default/full installation. This will download more SDKs and packages. This is a long process, make sure you have at least 4GB of internet bandwidth to finish setting up Android Studio.
—> Flutter SDK: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install
Download the zip file for your platform (for example, if you have a Windows computer, download the Windows zip file). Finish setting up the SDK and add the directory to your PATH.
If you have an Apple computer, then you may optionally install Xcode from the Mac App Store to use the iOS Simulator.
3. You need an Android Phone to run your application. Make sure that you enable “Developer Options” in your phone. The general procedure to do this is by tapping the “Build Number” option “eight times” in the “About Phone” setting. This procedure can vary, please Google this up with your phone’s model, say “how to enable developer options on Nokia 7.1”
You need a good internet connection (approx 5GB) to finish setting up your computer.

Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffQc_2Eu--aoE9E3cLq9TWYkcn8PigEF1qRY1szP6xpRdyeQ/viewform

Are you productive while working on your microservices-based project? Or is your laptop on
fire? Thanks to Red Hat OpenShift we are very efficient when it comes to deploying and managing
distributed and containerized applications. But can we say the same about development?

Coming from a traditional background we are used to run our application locally,
being able to debug, and reason about it with ease.
We are spoiled by the undisturbed inner-loop development cycle of coding, building,
and testing so we take it for granted.

We also have a desire to run everything locally, so we can have a fast feedback loop.
It's not really feasible to spin up even a medium-sized distributed system on your own machine.
Wouldn't it be better to run your code directly in a shared remote cluster?
In this workshop we will show you tools that will make you a productive developer, able to nail
down issues quickly, and confident about the changes you are about to ship. And all of it in the
cloud.

Sign up here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffQc_2Eu--aoE9E3cLq9TWYkcn8PigEF1qRY1szP6xpRdyeQ/viewform

An Operator is an application-specific controller that extends the Kubernetes API to create, configure, and manage instances of complex stateful applications on behalf of a Kubernetes user. It builds upon the basic Kubernetes resource and controller concepts but includes domain or application-specific knowledge to automate common tasks. This workshop focuses on writing and testing the operator using operator-SDK. The audience for this talk will be developer, tester or a person who pretty much works with operators on Kubernetes. This workshop needs a basic understanding of Kubernetes, containers, and Golang.
Key areas that will be covered:
- Understanding Kubernetes API (GVR, Kind/Resources)
- Artifact (CRD, CR, CSV) & OLM
- Operators pattern & operator-framework
- Getting started with writing an operator in golang
- Understanding the Controllers & Control loop code.
- Desired vs Observed State in Kubernetes
- Reconciliation loop
- Operator demo & local development.

JAVA.Next Quarkus App Development in Practice

Sign up here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffQc_2Eu--aoE9E3cLq9TWYkcn8PigEF1qRY1szP6xpRdyeQ/viewform

Traditionally, many enterprises built monolithic apps with the whole stack optimized to run many apps on an app server. In moving toward cloud-native microservices, serverless, and event-driven apps, developers want to take advantage of that operational model. This lab shows how Quarkus has amazingly fast boot time, incredibly low RSS memory, and offers near-instant scale-up and high-density memory utilization in container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.
You’ll get a hands-on introduction to Quarkus for Java developers using Red Hat CodeReady Workspaces based on Eclipse Che to develop Quarkus apps. We will cover:
- Basic introduction to Quarkus
- How to test and debug Quarkus apps
- Building high-performance, native Quarkus apps
- Deploying cloud-native Quarkus apps to Kubernetes Platform

Hybrid Serverless Development using Quarkus

Fast-moving forward to hybrid/multi-cloud stack, it’s inevitable for developers not only considering implementing serverless microservices once but also integrate with the multi-serverless platforms on Kubernetes as the smallest/fastest as they can.

In this session, we’ll explore how Quarkus extensions allow developers to write microservices with RESTEasy (JAX-RS), Undertow (servlet), or Vert.x Web and make these microservices deployable to Knative components, Azure Functions runtime and Amazon Lambda using Amazon’s SAM framework.

Cloud-native applications with dapr and OpenShift

Dapr is Microsoft's latest new open source project. Dapr is an event driven, portable distributed application runtime. It supports many programming languages and it is a natural fit for Kubernetes and OpenShift. Dapr provides consistency and portability via standard open APIs. Dapr's building blocks enable easy, event-driven, stateful, microservices development. Dapr handles state, resource bindings and pub/sub messaging, which enable event-driven, resilient architectures that scale. In this presentation, we will cover how engineering teams can leverage Dapr with OpenShift for the application development, writing high-performance, highly-scalable applications using OpenShift. We will start with a high level Dapr architecture overview. Then go through an example how to develop Dapr microservices, and look at the deployment process to get it up to OpenShift. We will use OpenShift to fine tune the performance.

Automating OpenShift compliance scanning

Checking for security compliance is overall hard. Doing so for a cluster of hundreds of machines is even worse.

Compliance is hard and tedious work, especially on a cluster scale. There are many checkboxes to tick; the controls in the standards are not easy to interpret; and more so, compliance needs to be reached, but also maintained and continuously monitored.
We aimed to address this issue by building the compliance-operator.

This project aims to aid OpenShift deployers to verify, monitor, and ultimately achieve their compliance targets in an automated fashion by checking both the OpenShift configuration and the Linux nodes that form that cluster.

Data Gateways: Legacy data for microservices

Application architecture evolution has fragmented the backend implementation into independent microservices and functions. However there is still a gap on the way this evolution has dealt with data as it tends to avoid dealing with static environments. At the same time, microservices encourage developers to create new polyglot data persistence layers that then, need to be composite to deliver business value. How can we apply the knowledge from API gateways to these new data stores?

In this session we will talk about:
How data gateways act like API gateways to offer a secured abstraction layer on top of the physical data stores,
the different data gateway types and architectures, and

Docker, Podman, Buildah, Skopeo, and what else?

Today, docker is synonymous to containers. But Docker is just one way to go about containers. There’s a new way to work with containers, all the while using the same commands you used for Docker and its what this talk is all about - Podman. What is Podman? Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers on your Linux System. Containers can either be run as root or in rootless mode. Simply put: `alias docker=podman`. As much as both are very similar, there are very important underlying differences and security features that may make podman appealing choice for some.
One cannot talk about Podman and ignore Buildah and Skopeo. There seems to be new people everyday trying to figure out what all these tools mean? If that is you, then this talk is for you.

Preserving privacy while sharing data

Deep learning and machine learning more broadly depend on large quantities of data to develop accurate predictive models. In areas such as medical research, sharing data among institutions can lead to even greater value. However, data often includes personally identifiable information that we may not want to (or even be legally allowed to) share with others. Traditional anonymization techniques only help to a degree.

In this talk, Red Hat's Gordon Haff will share with you the active activity taking place in academia, open source communities, and elsewhere into techniques such as differential privacy and secure multi-party computation. The goal of this research and ongoing work is to help individuals and organizations work collaboratively while preserving the anonymity of individual data points.

OWASP Top-10 - quickstart your security awareness

Not everyone is a security expert. Of course, not everyone needs to be a security expert, but in today’s world of rapid development and deployment, developers cannot afford to ignore security considerations completely, and “just leave it up to the security team to review”.

In this talk, I’ll present the OWASP Top-10 project, an (incomplete) list of the top security vulnerabilities (web) developers face. I will then talk about how developer-awareness from the ground up is a key to shifting left the way we think about security, which is the first step in creating better-secured applications.

Saving money by reducing power consumption

Monitoring and reducing the energy consumption of servers in data centers is critical. Reducing the power drawn by 10,000 datacenter servers by 10 watts (10 joules/second) would result in energy savings that could power approximately 100 US households with a corresponding financial saving of $100,000/year. The factors that affect a server's energy use arise from the complex interactions between the application workload, software stack, and the hardware characteristics and configuration of the node itself. This work sheds light on the task of tuning hardware parameters to control the time and energy required for IO sensitive, system-centric workloads typical of cloud services. In a memcached server, hardware tuning using both Linux and a library OS and record dramatic savings of 440 joules 42%) on Linux and 635 joules 60% on a library OS while maintaining an 99% tail latency under 500 microsecond. We reveal the significant impact that static tuning can have and the influence of operating systems software on the performance of the aforementioned applications.

Reshaping (input) Space to Fuzz the Cloud's Virtualization Layer

The market for public cloud platforms is valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Hypervisors form the backbone of the cloud and are, therefore, security-critical applications which are attractive targets for attackers. Fuzzing is a widely-adopted technique for automated software testing based on randomly-provided inputs. As testament to their success, fuzzers have found thousands of bugs in the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, it is difficult to apply simple fuzzing techniques to the virtualization-layer, as hypervisors expose a massive input space which includes the entirety of the VM's memory. In this talk, I will present my research on making cloud virtual devices amenable to fuzzing. I will explain how we implemented fuzzing for the popular open-source QEMU hypervisor, where it has already led to dozens of bugs reports.

Blockchain enabled decentralized storage cluster

Is the best way of not getting robbed, putting your valuables in a place where everyone can see?

In the era , where costs and privacy of large-scale storage service providers are questionable, i intent to provide insight on a system with no central control and how security and other operations can still be achieved.

"A Distributed storage system which allow users to club their storage disks in a network to provide secured storage .In this talk, you will see how (new DHT) blockchain is used to enhance the functionality. In a network of 5 nodes , if a user decides to upload a document , the document gets encrypted and sharded across the nearby nodes (based on geo-location) , during retrieval process , the encrypted files across the network gets verified and downloaded to the users node and then it is constructed together as one file.This infrastructure makes use of kademlia algorithm where the data after getting split will be put across the nodes by taking location as an argument, thus storing the data to nearby nodes and making retrieval process easy.The verification method to check whether data still exists in the chain is done by a request/response feature which will help in checking whether nodes contain the data or not. If the node does not contain the data, data regeneration will be initiated."

Unikernel

Unikernels are small, lightweight, single address space operating systems with the kernel included as a library within the application. Because unikernels run a single application, there is no sharing or competition for resources among different applications, improving performance and security. Unikernels have thus far seen limited production deployment. This project aims to turn the Linux kernel into a unikernel with the following characteristics: 1) easily compiled for any application, 2) uses battle-tested, production Linux and glibc code, 3) allows the entire upstream Linux developer community to maintain and develop the code, and 4) provides applications normally running vanilla Linux to benefit from unikernel performance and security advantages. The paper Unikernels: The Next Stage of Linux’s Dominance was presented at HotOS XVII, The 17th Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems, 2019.

How I Learned to Share my Hardware (with ESI)

The Elastic Secure Infrastructure (ESI) project was started by the Mass Open Cloud (MOC) in order to "create a set of services/systems to permit multiple tenants to flexibly allocate bare-metal machines from a pool of available hardware, create networks, attach bare-metal nodes and networks, and to optionally provision an operating system on those systems through the use of an associated provisioning service". As part of this project, ESI has contributed upstream development efforts in Ironic to custom development of a leasing service and has created a CLI to create a bridge in between OpenStack and additional functionality needed by ESI. On this presentation, we will discuss both the challenges and the successes behind these efforts. We will also demonstrate how we're putting all this work together into a flexible hardware sharing architecture - designed specifically for the MOC, but easily adaptable for other needs as well!

Automating the Management of Kubernetes Apps

Ansible fits naturally into any Kubernetes environment. Both are very active and widely used open source projects with vibrant communities that help make hard things easier.

This talk will demonstrate how Ansible along with its built-in templating and k8s module can be used instead of static YAML definitions that are manually applied using kubectl for rapid, repeatable and consistent multi-cluster deployments.

Further, Ansible makes it easier to deploy and manage the complete lifecycle of complex Kubernetes applications. Traditionally, Operators have been written in Go and require expertise with the internals of Kubernetes. Ansible is also a first class citizen of the Operator SDK that provides an alternative to using Go with a lower barrier to entry. It frees up application engineers, maximizes time to automate and orchestrate your applications, and doing it across new & existing platforms with one simple language.

Here we discuss and demonstrate how they can work together.

Data Governance: Lessons from the trenches

In a world that has become increasingly dependent on organization level data sharing and collaboration for decision making, it is of utmost importance that we ensure airtight security for our data. That's when Apache Ranger comes to the rescue.

Ranger is handy in designing and dictating security policies for Hadoop and its components. Ranger currently provides a centralised security administration, access control and detailed auditing for user access within the Hadoop, Hive, HBase and other Apache components. Also, Meta data these days, speak volumes about the data it encases. This is where we can harness the capabilities of Apache Atlas to work in tandem with Apache Ranger, to build a robust data governance policy for any organization.

CDC Event Driven Cloud Native Apps with OpenShift

Change Data Capture (CDC) is design pattern used for event driven cloud native applications with OpenShift. CDC continuously identifies and captures incremental data changes and is used for real-time data replication across databases and replicas through transaction logs. It can also be used to trigger events based on data changes. With the increasing use of event driven micro-services, CDC is a new pattern to capture and propagate events to micro-services within the system. CDC is based on upstream debezium project provides an elegant and powerful framework to simplify change data capture. In this presentation, we will go over the high level architecture of CDC, and how to embed CDC into spring boot applications, and integration with OpenShift.

Connecting Applications with Services

Cloud-Native Environments like Kubernetes comes with its challenges for binding applications. A service backed by a Kubernetes operator, for example, PostgreSQL instance and a shiny front-end Node.js application...Wouldn't it be really fancy if we could just express the intent to bind to any backing service without actually doing the configuration heavy lifting?

In this talk, we will review how to enable developers to connect their applications with operator-backed services, such as databases, without having to perform manual intervention (secrets, configmaps, etc.). It thereby provides an intuitive approach for the developers to connect their application to an operator backed service. In a nutshell, improved developer experience.

Together with this talk, we would be running through a live demo, to show application and service binding in action, using our open-source Kubernetes Operator, service-binding-operator.

Who's DeAnne Smith? Well, not only are they the humble person writing this bio, they're an international comedy sensation. Their video “Straight Men Step Up Your Game” has been viewed over 47 million times, and if they look familiar to you, it's probably because your high school friend posted it in their Facebook feed. DeAnne's critically-acclaimed Netflix special, Gentleman Elf, is available right this minute as part of the groundbreaking Comedians of the World series. They've performed everywhere from Iceland to New Zealand (oh my gosh, remember travel?) and is a regular at both the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Montreal's prestigious, invite-only Just for Laughs Comedy Festival. You may have seen them on NBC, CBS, HBO, or CBC (if you watch Canadian television). Time Out Melbourne says DeAnne "blends smart and silly subjects with expert conviction" and the UK Telegraph says they're "Very funny. Effortless charm lets them get away with murder." They've never actually murdered anyone.

The magic formula for high-performing teams

In 2015, Google published the results of an internal study to determine what factors were the best predictors of an employee’s success. Their thesis was that the study would uncover what individual traits and past accomplishments were predictors of future performance, ultimately leading to a "magical algorithm" for hiring the right people. They learned that the highest performing teams had a number of common traits, but the most impactful one was an environment of psychological safety. Many want this environment but are left wondering how you grow a team culture that encourages experiments to flourish and treats failures as an opportunity for continuous learning.

In this session, we’ll discuss helping groups overcome communication and cultural anti-patterns that destroy psychological safety. You'll leave this presentation with actionable strategies to create a trust-filled environment that fosters employee well-being, creativity, and innovation.

Is Quality a Fault Line in Software Development? - Ask The Experts Panel

Testing is Context-Dependent
(#4 in the list of 7 principles of software testing)

What happens when a tester’s vision of quality is different from product management.
What context are we talking about? Functional, Domain, or Business?
What steps do you take to continuously build/rebuild that context?
What is the context-driven testing school of thought?
What is software quality after all- Internal vs Perceived?
Is the price paid for that ‘additional effort’ to increase quality worth it?

In this session, we are going to discuss these and many other burning questions with our team of experts.

Reinforcement learning based dependency resolution

Dependency resolvers try to satisfy the version range requirements of libraries used using different approaches, such as backtracking or implementing an SAT solver. But what about plugging in machine learning algorithms in this AI/ML era and try to resolve software stacks with reinforcement learning? What are the benefits and drawbacks of such an approach? What is the state space imagined, what are the actions to be taken to accumulate rewards and how to balance exploration and exploitation in the state space? Let's play this game and see who wins...

The Open Source Way community management guide

Contributors to open source projects learn and create methods and practices for having a good community experience. Open source practitioners share these methods with each other all the time, and The Open Source Way brings those best practices together, written as a collaborative community effort. We are updating this guide; you are invited to learn about, participate in, and contribute to The Open Source Way and the community of practice around it.

In addition to bringing a slightly-opinionated view of how & what makes a successful project, this guide includes the often missing reasons -- why do certain practices work, and why have others been tried and abandoned.

This talk introduces the 2.0 version of the guide itself, what is covered within it, and highlight the narrative being told from/to community management practitioners. You'll learn how to consume and/or contribute to this guide and the body of community knowledge around it.

User Onboarding – Get the User on Board!

User onboarding is guiding users to use your product and find value in it. Users understand how to use your product to meet their goals. You may have the best product, but if the users cannot figure out how to get started, they will never use your product. This is where User Onboarding helps!
The session covers:
• What is user onboarding
• User onboarding strategies
• Onboarding based on user personas and journeys
• User onboarding artifacts:
◦ In the app:
• Welcome messages
• Guided product tours
• Task lists & progress bars
• Tooltips, in-app messaging
◦ External:
▪ Marketing emails
▪ Product release emails
▪ Help topics
• Examples of companies that use good onboarding to guide their users
• Examples of onboarding tools to get started
• Retiring an onboarding artifact
The session will help the audience to think about onboarding strategies and which artifacts to include in their products!

Improvements in OpenShift Python s2i

OpenShift provides a framework to easily deploy applications into a cluster from within a Git repo - Source-To-Image (s2i). Let's have a look at what we've learnt and how we improved the installation process of Python applications during OpenShift s2i builds. We will discuss how we improved the developer's experience, helped developers with tracking issues during cluster builds, reduced the resulting container image size, and how we were still able to automatically aggregate important information from build logs in a structured form. Besides all of this, users can use any dependency management tool from pip, pip-tools, Pipenv or Poetry. Last but not least, we will show good practices to keep your Python project in a good shape and ready to be deployed to an OpenShift cluster.

Running GPU workloads on OpenShift

Using general available packages (in the form of container images) from an official source or a certified provider comes with a big caveat in relation to performance-sensitive workloads.
These packages may provide ABI compatibility, but they are not optimized for our specialized hardware (like GPUs or high-performance NICs), nor our CPU chip architecture. The best way to address this is to compile your packages (build your images) on your own deployment.
OpenShift provides a way to seamlessly build images based on defined events called BUILDS. A build is the process of transforming input parameters into a resulting object. Most often, the process is used to transform input parameters or source code into a runnable image. A BuildConfig object is the definition of the entire build process.
The missing part to building hardware-specific images is to orchestrate the build process over the different available resources. In this presentation, attendees will learn about the Node Feature Disco

Herding cats: program management in communities

Large open source projects are complex. Whether you have someone formally filling the role or not, your project is performing program management tasks. This talk covers some of the key work that program managers perform in community projects. This includes managing schedules, tracking changes, leading meetings, and coordinating resources, with a particular emphasis on how this applies to volunteer communities and not just corporate projects.

Open Sourcify your Design Process

Open source encourages collaboration between communities and individuals to create the best solutions possible while leveraging the diverse experiences and skills of everyone involved. So why not apply these same principles to the design process? This talk will introduce the audience to tools and methods on how to apply open source principles to their own design process. The first step we will cover is the initial setting up of a design GitHub repository and starting to add design artifacts to it. Next we will talk about applying open source methods to the research phase. We will talk about using open communication channels like mailing lists and Reddit to recruit research participants and conduct research activities like surveys. We will also talk about some examples of open source design tools you can use to create mockups and how you can share your designs with the community for feedback and iterate. How can you as a contributor apply some of these methods to your design process?

Web exploitation - Offensive way to Hunt Bugs

As a QE or Developer, we have the power. The power to find new bugs/flaws with the code, which others could not find and at the same time. In this talk, I will present how QE engineers, Developer or Anyone who is interested in filling CVE bugs can work proactively with InfoSec or ProdSec team to find some security vulnerabilities in different features of the web in functionality testing.
The agenda will be like:
* Goals of offensive bug hunting and what are some approaches to agressive bug hunting i.e burpsuite, ZAP etc
* Some common vulnerabilities to check for in your project i.e OWASP Top 10
* Attacks in Action ( Demonstration of video POC's ):
- Application-level Dos ( Denial of Service )
- Host Header Injection ( redirection, cache poisoning & password reset poisoning )
- URL/Open Redirection and etc.

Kubernetes styled CI/CD tool

In the container world, the emphasis is on the easy build and ship. CI/CD for the container tools should also work on a similar principle of easy build and deploy. Many of the CI/CD tools present are designed before the existence of cloud-native paradigms which makes it difficult to run in containerized environments like Kubernetes. OpenShift Pipelines builds upon the Tekton project to enable Kubernetes-style delivery pipelines that remove the need to rely on central teams to maintain and manage a CI server and can fully control and own the complete lifecycle of their microservices. Utilizing the power of Openshift Pipelines and Tekton trigger we have designed and implement our own Thoth-CI to facilitate the projects which have multi-namespace microservice architecture.
This talk is about how our ci/cd tool is providing ease to the developer to work on source code and not worry about deploying the project to containerized environments and its configuration.

When I'm Remote, You're Remote

In a world where the talent is everywhere, we need to be prepared to collaborate effectively with our co-workers wherever they may be. To be successful, we can’t simply open up remote seats on our teams and hope for the best; we need to become remote-first in everything we do from hiring and infrastructure choices to communication and collaboration. The way we interact with our co-workers needs to fundamentally change. This has become even more apparent across the globe in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We will be going over some of the practices I’ve adapted and experimented with that help me work better as an individual and with a remote team. All of this will be presented with some historical context on the subject and how misunderstandings of the modern office can make or break your chances of cultivating a strong remote-first environment.

Journeymapping: Creating a cohesive project vision

How to use an end-to-end flow to guide a project and the team to a shared vision.

In an open source project there will often be many different opinions on what problems the project should solve, where the users (who are often also the contributors) want to focus their time, and how to implement the solutions. Journeymapping can help identify the most important places to focus.

Using a successful open-source project we’ll demonstrate how the process works and how we were able to get all stakeholders to agree to a project plan and issues that focused on the end user. From interviews with stakeholders and subject matter experts, through the in-person workshop that went off the rails 5 minutes before we started, to the final assembly of the steps and feedback to the team, we’ll explain the journey and how you can implement it on your project.

My Journey Upstream with tlog Testing

Want to get involved in Open Source but don't know where to start?

Try writing tests!

A lot of projects already have tests upstream with the source code.

As a Quality Engineer working on RHEL, I rarely worked on upstream projects. Most of my tests were written in private Downstream repos. For tlog, I wanted to change that.

To contribute tests upstream I had to learn a different workflow. This presentation will show my journey contributing tests upstream to the tlog project.

Who will benefit from this presentation?
* Anyone writing tests Downstream that wants to move upstream
* Anyone looking to start contributing upstream (with tests!)

What will be covered in this presentation?
* Upstream vs Downstream testing
* A basic upstream workflow
* My experience contributing tests upstream
* Lessons learned

Take-aways from this presentation?
* A better understanding of the upstream contribution process
* A new found desire to start contributing tests upstream
