Link: http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map Speakers: • Nathan Scott: Performance Co-Pilot • Paul Fenwick: Android Privacy 101 Nathan Scott: Performance Co-Pilot The Performance Co-Pilot (pcp.io) is a proven performance analysis tookit for production environments. The project is mature - over 20 years since its original inception - and is especially attractive for those tackling harder systems-level performance problems. This talk will focus on recent development activity in PCP. In particular, its support for analysing containers without a need to install anything into each monitored container. We'll explore each of the kernel features that back the userspace container concept, the performance metrics that the kernel makes available for each container, and how this information is extracted and represented in PCP. Nathan Scott is one of the primary developers in the Performance Co-Pilot project and currently works at Red Hat in the performance tools group. Paul Fenwick: Android Privacy 101 Smartphones and tablets are now everywhere, but despite more people owning these devices, very few are aware of the privacy implications of the system and apps they use. This is made worse as users often feel they have little choice but to grant extended permissions to apps to get the functionality they need. In this talk we'll examine just how much data your phone leaks to both app developers and third parties, and most importantly what you can do about it. We'll cover how to revoke permissions for apps that try to overextend their reach, how to observe what information apps are gathering about you, how to prevent your device broadcasting its WiFi presence even when WiFi is "disabled", and a variety of tools you can use to protect your privacy when using Android. Paul Fenwick is an internationally acclaimed public speaker, developer, and science educator. Paul is well known for presenting on a diverse range of topics including privacy, neuroscience and neuroethics, Klingon programming, open source, depression and mental health, advancements in science, diversity, autonomous agents, and minesweeper automation. His dynamic presentation style and quirky humour has delighted audiences worldwide. Paul was awarded the 2013 O'Reilly Open Source award, and the 2010 White Camel award, both for outstanding contributions to the open source community. As a Freedom Loving Scientist, Paul's goal is to learn everything he can, do amazing things with that knowledge, and give them away for free.
