The pgeu-system is an integrated system for managing conferences. Originally developed for Postgresql Europe's own conferences, the system has grown into a generic system for managing events, visitors, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers. It integrates the functions such as call-for-papers, managing schedules, invoicing, accounting, and more.

In this talk we will do a whirlwind tour of the tool, from the context of the foss-north conference.

In light of the pandemic, the foss-north conference has gone virtual since 2020. In this presentation we will discuss our live streaming and video recording setup built around OBS, Jitsi and Kdenlive.

The talk will discuss what software we are running, how and some behind the scenes info about how we run the live events, as well as how we edit and distribute the recordings post event.

The Qt Automotive Suite solves a number of automotive problems, but these are not unique to our industry. We have a look at how to measure and understand start-up timing and performance, how to use the Qt Application Manager Wayland compositor, how to generate platform APIs and more. We also take a quick look at the tools provided, e.g. QMLLive for rapid prototyping and GammaRay for deep introspection.

The Qt Automotive Suite is built on top of the general Qt framework and takes Qt from an app creation framework to a platform creation framework. It consists of both tools and libraries.

We see that the QMLLive tool is enjoying usage outside the automotive space and hope that the other components will find users outside of the industry as well. Come here to learn what we do and why.
