- [SouthEast LinuxFest 2014](http://www.southeastlinuxfest.org), Videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/southeastlinuxfest
- Nice recap by Jupiter Broadcasting (~@42 min): http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/60412/southeast-linuxfest-highlights-las-318
- ### SQLite as an Application File Format - Richard Hipp
- * "Representation Is the Essence of Programming" -Frederick Brooks (Mythical Man Month)
- * ["SQLite is not designed to replace Oracle. It is designed to replace fopen()."](http://www.sqlite.org/whentouse.html)
- * ["Data lasts longer than code."](http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/c9/6e/db/c96edb1f57ceff741f1d5501717e39bc.jpg)
- Side notes:
- * [SQLite Archiver](http://sqlite.org/sqlar/doc/trunk/README.md)
- * [Fossil SCM](http://www.fossil-scm.org) - very similar to Git in concept (distributed VCS), but keeps everything in one SQLite file. Also, only a single binary that supports built-in wiki, issue tracking, and basic GUI functions. Ultimately it allows for some some nice semantics like: `SELECT DISTINCT name FROM users;` (rather than shell ginsu).
- ### Slackware ragchew - David Cantrell
- (http://www.slackware.com, http://www.burdell.org)
- * Still alive and an impressive South-East Linux sub-culture.
- * Fascinating history and interaction during the Linux "boom" (many trade shows!) with Sun, FreeBSD, and ultimately [Walnut Creek CDROM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walnut_Creek_CDROM) (later BDSi, then Wind River Systems, then iXsystems)
- * Slackware was the first "live boot" (see also zipslack)
- * Version control regrets -- would have been great to see the evolution, but it's lost.
- * Suse - dev's mail spool file made it onto a distro release (wild west of builds and Linux)
- * As a community we could do better... packaging is a great example (every distro has their own)
- * Hallway track: awesome history of [tz database](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database) (note: this was needed for his own distro as glibc? stopped pulling in the latest for static builds, which required distros to manage the dependency) - "Time (and timezones) are both technical and political."
- ### PBI v10: Application Management Made Easy - Ken Moore
- AppCafe
- * Wiki as data-source for rating system
- * runs pkgng through a series of shell scripts and parses the output for the GUI utilities (Qt)
- [PCBSD](http://www.pcbsd.org/en/utilities)
- * Modified GRUB to support full disk encryption with ZFS
- * [Life Preserver](http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Life_Preserver/10.0) takes a snapshot prior to upgrade so that in the instance of a reboot and fail you can rollback.
- * Errata: Ken Moore is Kris Moore's brother, [BSDNow.tv](http://www.bsdnow.tv)
- ### ZFS 101 - Dru Lavigne
- * [Becoming a ZFS Ninja](https://blogs.oracle.com/video/entry/becoming_a_zfs_ninja)
- * [Open ZFS office hours](http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Events)
