Wouldn’t it be better if we could stop vulnerabilities from ever getting merged into our code base? By building security into our core workflows on GitHub and sharing the amazing knowledge of the combined global security community, we’re aiming to drastically reduce the number of vulnerabilities that get through your pull requests. In this session, we'll go deep into the CodeQL queries that help us find vulnerabilities across the source code, and how to create a query once you're aware of a new exploit, attack vector, or CVE.

Save precious time with GitHub Actions
Luca Cipriani

Arduino
@mastrolinux
@mastrolinux
I'm a CIO, Engineering Manager, and open source advocate. In a past life I was a DevOps Engineer before becoming passionate about IoT. And now with Arduino we are changing the indusrty. I love automating everything but people.
The process of taking software from the development stage through testing and into production can be labor-intensive, expensive, and most of all, time consuming. Whether you're a hobbyist, an open source maintainer, or an organization, the single truth remains: We can’t buy time. Success is often determined by how efficiently we are using our time. In order to increase our efficiencies, we turned to GitHub Actions to automate our workflows for both the software and hardware we produce. We are now able to reprogram our Arduino board, test the input/output of the hardware, and then send the results back to GitHub Actions. We can completely automate not just a continuous integration of the software but also of the hardware using solely online tools. In this talk, we'll run through the workflows Arduino has implemented with GitHub Actions and show attendees ways that they can take the first steps into bringing GitHub Actions into their development cycle.

As the use of inner source grew within our company, we realized that we had a lot of exposed credentials. Exposing credentials to the public is bad, and exposing credentials inside larger organizations can cause severe problems, as well. In this session, we'll show you how we manage to scan over 200,000 repositories daily for generic credentials, and outline the processes to allow fast and blame-free mitigation. We'll also dive deep into how we are able to scan the complete history of all repositories, categorize the findings, and inform the affected teams.

Live coding with OPENRNDR
In this session I talk about creative coding, live coding and OPENRNDR. Creative coding is not strictly defined, but in this session's context it is the process of writing software for (or as) artistic expression. Then, live coding is the idea of software that can be changed while it runs. The ability to quickly iterate over ideas makes live coding an exciting tool for creative coders. I focus in this talk on OPENRNDR, which is an opensource framework for creative coding that has recently received tools for live coding.

Dependency hell or developers' perception of software dependencies
Ivan Pashchenko
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
University of Trento
@Riruk
Ivan got his PhD in Information and Communication Technology from the University of Trento, Italy, in 2019. His research interests include Secure Development, Software Verification, and Static Analysis. His research paper was honoured silver medal on 2017 ACM/Microsoft Student Research Competition in the Graduate category. He developed several industrial and academic projects using Python and Java as an Intern in Security Research Group at SAP Labs France, and a Leading Security Engineer in Bashneft Russia.
Security vulnerabilities introduced by software dependencies can lead to severe incidents. Take for example, the Equifax breach, when the private data of more than 143 million people became publicly available due to a security vulnerability in an outdated software dependency. Despite the fact that GitHub Security Alerts and other tools allow software developers to check free open source dependencies, developers still arent paying enough attention to their security. In this talk, Ivan will discuss the perceptions of developers coming from 25 companies located in nine countries—and will present the insights on their practices, from the selection of software dependencies and updating of software dependencies to automating the dependency-management process and the mitigation of bugs and vulnerabilities in dependencies where a fixed version doesn't exist. Armed with this new knowledge, participants will discover the implications of the most popular dependency-management strategies, and from there will be able to improve the dependency management of their own software projects.

Gene initiated ml4a, a free book about machine learning for creative practice, and regularly publishes video lectures, writings, and tutorials to facilitate a greater public understanding of the subject.
Over the past several years, two trends in machine learning have converged to pique the curiosity of artists working with code: the growing popularity of powerful open source deep learning frameworks like Torch and TensorFlow, and the emergence of data-intensive generative models for hallucinating images, sounds, and text as though they came from the oeuvre of Shakespeare, Picasso, or just a gigantic database of digitized cats. This talk will review these developments, present various artworks, and offer a set of interdisciplinary tools and learning resources for artists and data scientists alike, if ever there was a difference to begin with.
Why innersource is a critical component of FOSS sustainability
Danese Cooper
VP Special Initiatives
NearForm
@Danese
@DivaDanese
Danese Cooper has been an outspoken Free and Open Source Software activist for more than 20 years. Over that time, she has consistently worked for the health and welfare of the FOSS movement at jobs such as CTO of Wikipedia, Chief Open Source Evangelist for Sun, Senior Director of Open Source Strategy for Intel, and Board Member with the Drupal Association, the Open Hardware Foundation and the Open Source Initiative. Five years ago while running PayPal's OSPO, Danese started thinking, talking, and writing about InnerSource as the logical next step to sustain the FOSS movement. Today Danese works at NearForm, Ltd., an Irish software consultancy specializing in capability building for companies looking to modernize their practices.
Innersource is the practice of proprietary companies adopting the modern massive peer-based software development engineering methods proven in thousands of FOSS projects over the past 20 years. Did you know that a booklet about innersource is the single most downloaded non-code asset on public GitHub? Since the rise of GitHub Enterprise, companies are increasingly experimenting with innersource inside their firewalls. Seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it? Most long-established companies need more collaboration and full-stack knowledge (and fewer information silos, resulting resource bottlenecks, "not-invented-here" re-inventions of the wheel, lack of innovation, and all the other un-necessarily wasteful proprietary practices that contribute to poor quality software and low engineering employee morale). Meanwhile, FOSS developers as a rule feel empowered to "scratch their own itches" and therefore suffer from few of these proprietary company woes. But as the FOSS movement has grown, there are cracks in sustainability starting to show in the form of maintainer burnout, lack of sufficient or appropriate corporate support for FOSS, and a real shortage of people willing and able to lead FOSS into the future. So how can innersource help FOSS Sustainability? Learn from someone who is thinking about how to grow the pool of qualified FOSS developers and to improve corporate support for FOSS basically since the term open source was coined. You'll hear about specific actions every developer and every company can take to improve software engineering, whether FOSS or proprietary, and help sustain the precious FOSS ecosystem through the next generation.
