The article presents an overview of methods for dynamic integration into the Linux kernel to modify (add, change) its functionality. Both traditional methods of integration, such as patching, based on changing kernel's code, and methods based on using other capabilities are considered. Special attention is paid to bypassing integrity mechanisms while doing the interception. Data invalidation method is proposed.

History of development saved in version control systems (VCS) is very important. It helps investigation of problems, reversion of regressions, picking specific changes for specific customers or releases, learning code by new developers in the team, generally keeping control over the code, assigning blame and so on. However, after a lot of development of a complex software product, its VCS history is often hard to read. In my presentation I will show some ways to remedy the problem.

In accordance to main goals of ADempiere Foundation our task was to find a way to get return on investments in Free Software modification/enhancement for a SMB developer company without dual licensing and without accompanying the product with proprietary add-ons/plugins or additional services or merchandise. Also there were a need to provide a mechanism of costs' sharing between several interested SMB companies. After initial economic analysis we've concluded that the only way to get return on investments in free software development is to create a time lag between the moment of software product provision to a user and the moment of rights provision for this software according to GPL. Otherwise, demand and supply law just will not work with free software. Also we have studied the legislation and FSF Comprehensive FAQ about the GNU Licenses. As a result, there were constructed two schemes that could create such time lag without GPL violation. First is based mostly on GNU FAQ, second is based on the provisions of contract law.

Language parsing is a common software development problem. Python is widely used in both production software development and rapid prototyping, and a number of lexer and parser generators were written for it. In this talk we discuss using one of them, PLY, which is a pure python implementation of classic lex and YACC tools, for parsing a made-up configuration file grammar.

The system software development in area of embedded systems is complicated by proximity to the physical world, incomplete knowledge of hardware errors and sophisticated existing software. Fortunately it is possible to reuse advantages of a debugger in development of operating systems and bootloaders with the aid of a bridge from hardware and running system software to the GDB session on a developer's workstation, which is provided by JTAG interface, a cheap JTAG-USB adapter and connecting software from open source OpenOCD project.

Today HDDs help people to save huge volumes of information.  People often use already used HDDs to save money. If the infor\-mation stored in the HDD should not be accessible to a new HDD owner (or other persons), it should be utilized by special methods. Use of a special utilization method is important for information security, because a lot of filesystems actually don`t wipe information, but only remove (delete) it. Information that was not wiped, is always at risk of recovery. Гарантированное уничтожение информации Виталий Балашов

Free software business models are difficult to design and not as lucrative as proprietary ones. Sometimes, companies make a difficult choice to proprietarise the work of a Free Software community in an effort to gain more revenue. When proprietary models do often produce more revenue, they bear a cost on the community. Fortunately enough, the very idea behind free software, coupled with specifics of some of the free licenses, makes it possible to liberate the project when it's at danger of becoming non-free.

Integration testing assume frequently changes in test environment such as application installation, configuration for every software build, for defects verification and reproduction. This task is not very complicated but monotonous and it complexity increases with number of hosts in test environment. Manually it can be solved only on one small range of hosts less than ten, because configuration time increases with number of nodes and can't be parallel for only person. As solution for test environment deployment it is suggestion to use Ansible configuration management application. In this presentation we review pros and cons of this product and present basic application functionality with practical examples used in testing.

Automatic bibliography generation, being common for LaTeX users, is irrationally rarely used by scientists that prepare publications via WYSIWYG editing packages. While some linkers of BibTeX system to office packages exist, one may prefer more profound reference systems that automatize also crawling and managing citations as well as regular sorting and pattern formatting. FLOSS example of such system, named Zotero, is discussed in the presentation. Zotero: аўтаматычная бібліяграфія ў WYSIWYG-рэдактарах Антон Літвіненка

OpenBSD acquired Ports framework from FreeBSD many years ago, and since then those frameworks diversed very much. Current OpenBSD Ports infrastructure makes it possible to have many up-to-date ports, including "heavy" ones like GNOME, LibreOffice and KDE, by relatively few number active maintainers. This talk is about features of current OpenBSD ports system: bulk package builds, package signing and updating, manual library versions handling, modules framework and other stuff.

Many people participated in the SETI@Home project, which was launched almost 15 years ago - ie 17 May 1999. At that time providing ones computing power to the scientists from big American research center was for a common user virtual adventure. Research conducted on shared computers involved (and still do) rather "popular" subject, searching in the radio waves, signals that may come from foreign civilization. The project has gained popularity and in this respect a comparison to todays "Facebook " can be quite accurate. One should remember though that this are completely different systems and SETI@Home began operations in 1999, when Internet in Poland was infancy. However, SETI@home and BOINC turned out to be a great initiative, which has already nearly two decades and unites people around the distributed computing.

Copyright treats scientific publication equal to regular work of art, ignoring its specific nature, that gives some signs of natural monopolies to scientific publishing houses. This severely complicates exchange of scientific info and, so, slows down worldwide research. Present issues of access to publications together with some present and theoretical methods of their solution are discussed. Кандалы прогресса: авторское право и научные публикации Антон Літвіненка

For a long time OpenBSD did not ship modern KDE versions. But during two last years situation changed. The talk is about what happened behind the scenes to make the working KDE4 platform usable by OpenBSD users. There will be covered such things as tweaking CMake modules, authentication support and so on. Also, there was a success in making KDE 3 and 4 co-exist that involved solving assorted technical problems. The experience gained during process could be useful for porting other software on OpenBSD as well as for porting in general. Как пропатчить KDE4 под OpenBSD Vadim Zhukov
