@jenwike6 years of Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi, the family of affordable single board computers, have been with us for over six years, and what's the Foundation been up to? I'll talk about product releases, community, education, charity, birthday parties, and more.

How to jump start a career in open source
It's not magic. It's not luck. It's not going to happen by itself, so what's the secret sauce? Understanding what makes a career in open source grow, what choices are crucial, and what actions accelerate or damage your open source future are sometimes hard to grasp. Learning to position, expand and grow your personal brand in the open source world is what this session provides. Be ready for your next step in open source.

Erase unconscious bias from your AI datasets
"A young child defines the world purely on the small amount they can see...This is the root of dataset bias: intelligence based on information that's too small or homogenous." Advances in AI technologies like machine learning and deep neural networks have potential to save time and boost productivity. But what if we train these technologies using datasets that exclude large portions of the population? For example, some facial recognition software doesn't acknowledge dark skin. Why? People of color were excluded from the datasets that were used to train the software. If AI isn't designed with inclusion upfront, its rewards won't equally benefit us all. This talk shares the risk of unconscious bias in algorithmic datasets, and how developers can overcome it.

‘kubectl': The definitive pronunciation guide
The distributed nature of open-source's ownership has some unique side-effects, one of which is the ambiguity of pronunciations. Many of us will use a tool or location or object without having heard it spoken aloud. This can go on for a surprisingly long time, until we find ourselves in a conversation with an actual human! While some try to retroactively define the correct pronunciation, it seems that the Kubernetes community leans into the ambiguity. Today, I will provide you with the definitive guide to pronuncing ‘kubectl'.

5 things you didn't know about Istio
So you've heard how IBM, Google and Lyft founded an open service mesh framework that controls, secures, manages and observes microservices with little code change. But what you may not know is what made Istio grow tremendously from its initial launch to its recent 1.0 release. Lin Sun will share 5 exciting things about Istio and how to get started with it!
