Content: This talk delves into the core engineering principles and design choices that contribute to TileDB's exceptional performance as a multi-dimensional array database. Attendees will gain insights into the architectural decisions behind TileDB, such as its virtual file system, parallel compute and I/O, advanced compression techniques and C++. We'll discuss how these elements come together to deliver scalability, speed, and flexibility, making TileDB a powerful tool for handling large-scale, complex data in fields ranging from population genomics, single-cell, geospatial to finance and weather. This session will provide a deeper understanding of the trade-offs and innovations involved in building a new database system and even though we'll spice up the talk with technical details, the main prerequisite for attending this talk is to have a love for building solid and efficient systems and a love for engineering in general.

-)Bio: My name is Teodor Dutu and I am a PhD student at the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, where I teach computer architecture, compilers, and operating systems labs. My research is on compilers for advanced architectures, such as hardware accelerators. In addition, I am interested in operating systems, security, programming languages, education, and the open-source world. I am also a contributor to the D programming language.
Content: Teachers often complain about doing boring and repetitive tasks related to infrastructure, grading, missing or misplaced teaching materials. Automation and availability of resources mitigate the aforementioned issues to a great extent. Because the open-source paradigm inherently makes use of these principles, we are proposing a methodology for organising open-source courses. We then showcase examples of such courses taught at UPB, which feature a high degree automation regarding grading, as well as completely public and constant availability of teaching resources.

-)Bio: Rüdiger has spent most of his long career moving bytes. Currently, he is writing tools to safely and rapidly move bytes at number 0, where we are building a minimalist set of open source libraries for peer to peer networking and content-addressed storage. Rüdiger likes simple things that work. He is passionate about open source and decentralisation.
Content: No matter how demanding your use case is, at the very bottom it often boils down to moving bytes. Inside a data center, between data centers, or to and from edge and mobile devices. So this talk is about moving bytes. How to establish a connection so that bytes can move at all, how to upgrade to a direct connection to make sure the bytes are moving quickly, and how to use cryptography to make sure you are moving the right bytes. I will describe the tailscale approach for establishing direct connections, and how we have adapted this to QUIC connections in the iroh-net rust crate. I will also describe how the BLAKE3 hash function enables verified streaming and range requests, and how our iroh-blobs library allows you to use this in demanding use cases. You will leave this talk with knowledge how to establish direct QUIC connections even behind NAT via hole punching, how to use BLAKE3 verified streaming, and hopefully also the desire to try this out.

We will cover the different mechanisms of peer discovery, as well as the mechanism of NAT hole punching. Once we learned the basics, we will develop an encrypted peer to peer chat app using our networking and gossib library. You will need a rust toolchain and an IDE of your choice. Some familiarity with the rust language will be helpful.

Content: D is a general purpose programming language which, as the name suggests, strives to be a modern replacement for C/C++. With features inspired by state of the art high-level languages such as Python, Java and Rust, but enabling C/C++-like performance, D is a jack of all trades. Do you want to prototype something rapidly and not care about memory allocations? You can just use the garbage collector and the standard library. Do you now want to evolve your prototype into an end product where performance is important? You can just opt-out of using the GC and use your custom allocation scheme (provided that one of the standard library allocators does not suit you). Is memory safety an issue? You can just enable compile time memory safety checks. Whatever your use case, D has an answer. Not to mention D’s metaprogramming capabilities, which are unmatched in any other language. In this talk, I will present some of D’s cool features and how they apply to specific use cases.

-)Bio: Bogdan Popa is a software engineer with over 15 years of experience ranging all the way from working on video streaming on mobile phones (back when smartphones were a new thing) to scaling systems containing hundreds of terrabytes of financial data. Bogdan has several popular open source projects, most notably Dramatiq, a task processing framework for Python, and he enjoys contributing to the Racket programming language and ecosystem.
Content: Surveys and experiments in economics involve stateful interactions: participants receive different messages based on earlier answers, choices, and performance, or trade across many rounds with other participants. In the design of Congame, a platform for running such economic studies, we decided to use delimited continuations to manage the common flow of participants through a study. In this talk, I'll go over some of the benefits of using continuations in a web context as well as cover some of the pitfalls

-)Bio: I'm a tech enthusiast, LLVM contributor, and currently a student at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. I love diving into Linux, customizing software, modding devices, and exploring new tech. Outside of tech, I enjoy chess, gaming, and dabbling in poetry, drawing, and photography.
Content: Identifying and contributing to open source projects with only one maintainer or low activity can have a significant impact. Discussion on how small fixes and contributions to the projects you already use can make a big difference, both for the project and for your development as a engineer. Drawing from my personal experiences, I’ll highlight the value of starting small and how these contributions can lead to deeper involvement in the open source community.

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.
