-NXPBio: Daniel works at NXP in Romania hacking on Linux kernel audio drivers for i.MX boards. He is a teaching assistant for the Operating System Internals class at University POLITEHNICA in Bucharest and passionate about helping newcomers to the Linux kernel world while being a mentor for the Google Summer of Code.
Content: Contributing to the Linux kernel can seem daunting for newcomers, but with the right guidance, it becomes an engaging and rewarding journey. Will start first with an overview of how the development process scales for a project with more than 30 millions lines of code which sees around 10.000 patches and more than 2.000 developers working on each release. We will then walk the roadmap of sending a contribution to the Linux kernel from identifying the first line to change, discovering the right tools and then navigating the path until the patch gets merged by Linus Torvalds into mainline tree.

+allotropiaBio: Thorsten is a LibreOffice hacker and standards wonk. During his now more than 20 years of tenure with that project, he's spent most of his time hacking the code in areas ranging from build system, platform abstraction libraries, Impress and Writer. Thorsten's a computer scientist by education, and a Free Software enthusiast by heart, a geek from early childhood - and someone who was lucky enough to turn a hobby into an occupation. After first working for Sun Microsystems on then-OpenOffice.org, he then went with a number of others founding The Document Foundation and the LibreOffice project. These days, his day job includes substantial amounts of project management and customer interactions, which does not prevent him from still messing with LibreOffice code. He's recently spun up his own company allotropia to have even more fun with open source all day!

-UPB/ILDSBio: Mihai Mașala is a Ph.D. student at the Romanian Academy working on bringing together computer vision and natural language processing. Before starting his Ph.D., he worked on Natural Language Processing with a strong focus on question answering techniques and chat conversations analysis. His current research involves on one side bridging the gap between vision and language by using graphs of events in space and time, and building open Romanian LLMs on the other.
Content: This talk explores an open-source project focused on building the first Large Language Models (LLMs) specialized in Romanian. This presentation will go through all the steps in the LLM life-cycle with a focus on building the Romanian data needed for training and evaluating such models.

-Open Education HubBio: I am a Teaching Assistant at POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Romania, the Computer Science and Engineering Department, a SysDevOps engineer as part of the same institution, and I am a contributor to the ALICE experiment’s grid management software, with experience in kernel-level programming and security-oriented topics. As part of the infrastructure team at UNSTPB, I have architected, developed and deployed Open Source solutions for building class materials, checking assignments, and managing complex cluster infrastructures. I am an adept of Open Source Software development, with all applications I have worked being offered to the FOSS community in projects such as the bhyve hypervisor, the JAliEn grid middleware, the vmchecker-next assignment checker, or the openedu-builder class material builder.
Content: The education world has moved from analogue mediums to digital. This offers teachers the opportunity to take advantage of tools and features that can decrease their load. Teachers can use modern software solutions to offload tasks to infrastructures which can automate the tasks that they would usually do by hand. We have developed the vmchecker framework which connects to the Moodle e-learning platform and runs assignment tests using the CI/CD suite found in the GitLab platform to connect students to real-life development practices such as running applications in containers, running in CI/CD applications, while reducing teachers workloads.

OmniOpenCon is a three-day event. We aim to capture as much of the spirit of open source in talks, workshops and hacking sessions. Full schedule (speakers, presentations, workshops) will be detailed in the coming days.
Talks will be delivered in English. Each talk is allocated a 30 minutes talk: 20-25 minutes for the talk itself, 3-5 minutes for questions. -Each speaker will use their own laptop, together with their demos and setup for the talk.
Workshops are practical hands-on activities where you can find out about a project or delve deeper into a topic. +Each speaker will use their own laptop, together with their demos and setup for the talk.
