* DIY Electric Vehicles
Everybody today has heard of electric vehicles, yet almost nobody has ever seen one, touched one, or driven one. I think this is a shame and would like to correct that. Come join me for 45 minutes of explanation and demonstration about the basics of electric vehicles from electric bicycles all the way to passenger vehicles. Building these vehicles at home is easily within the realm of anybody unafraid to pick up a few simple tools and learn a few basic concepts.

* FirefoxOS
FirefoxOS is Mozilla's response to the problems that it sees with the mobile space. Walled gardens, platform fragmentation, and single-purpose SDKs in non-web programming languages threaten to close off the open web from the mobile space. In this presentation I will be covering the basics of FirefoxOS, and how it is the only mobile OS that answers to nobody but you.

* Linux Containers: You probably didn't need a VM anyway
Containerization is an often overlooked option for when one needs to solve a problem typically involving the need to create temporary machines to test things or to logically separate machines. I'm here to show you how you can do all this from your laptop without burning your lap, requiring an hour and a half for installation, or filing bugs against IT folks or forking over cash for more cloud instances. Let me explain why LXC is the best option for testing new software and is also an excellent option for taking advantage of production hardware. Topics covered will be basic concepts, installing, cloning, and destroying containers as well as advanced concepts and stupid tricks.

* The Art of Open Source DJing
Conditions are rough for an aspiring DJ. More and more venues are starting to care if their performers have a license for their music, and the cost of software, hardware, and music is often more than they would care to spend. Thankfully one does not have to sacrifice on quality when replacing two of these with gratis components.
