Title of Talk 1: Open Source Demystified - Know its power for your career with an introduction to Cloud Native! (2-3 Sessions)
Synopsis: Are you a professional who is in the process of building your career and industry credibility?! Are you a student who has the ambition to create a career in information technology? Are you are researcher, who would like to define what could be the technology tomorrow? Let us discuss how open source can accelerate it! This session will provide you what, why, and how of Open Source and also discuss the global opportunities in open source, especially in cloud native domain (Kubernetes ecosystem). It provides an understanding from a very basic level and talks about key terms, ecosystem and how to enter open source and grow. The session also gives an introduction to SODA Foundation , an open source project under Linux Foundation (OR any similar foundation or open source projects to illustrate!), and its projects. This can provide the next step for you to start your open source journey!
Title of Talk 2: (Cloud Native) Observability - State, Trends and Next
Synopsis: Observability is confirmed as one of the key trends in the coming years. Infrastructure management, insights and automation, Observability will play a key role, such as build end to end AIOps solutions. Understanding and application of Observability can help to build intelligent systems with high impact to industry and society. We will cover the basics of monitoring and observability, the key attributes, goals and challenges. Then we will discuss what is cloud-native and how observability can be a critical area. Provide examples through open source projects and illustrations. Provide avenues to join the research and contribute. Session 1 can be basics of monitoring and observability and then Session 2 can give the other aspects above.
Title of Talk 3: unBlind AI/ML and GPT
Synopsis: How to Understand clearly and Unblind the Application of AI/ML. Leverage AI/ML effectively along with its state and trends along with GPT/LLM. Then discuss how this available opportunities with AI/ML trend, can be utilized for specific use cases and applications instead of considering hitting everything. We will discuss examples of copilot and applications building in effective ways for very common data solutions around us (like deriving key values from a visualization, set of documents, data set etc). We will discuss more on solving problems using technology and how it can help the ecosystem and in turn, individual impact (research & development)!
