Welcome

• Alberto Di Meglio (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre

The unscalable frequency of meetings

• Maria Dimou (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre The November 2014 document "Summary of IT Programme of Work and Outlook for 2015" mentions: '...the input generated by the IT staff survey (...) suggested to make increased use of more modern communication methods (e.g. social.cern.ch)...'. Experience has shown the futility of investing all hopes for making an effective change into a single method, even the most contemporary or versatile. This talk will suggest small, achievable steps for staying connected and informed, yet limiting all kinds of meetings-for-their-own-sake.

From Bash to Z shell in 5 min

• Pablo Tamarit (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre Chances are you're spending a good amount of your time working on a shell. While Bash is the standard shell on Linux, some alternatives exist. I'll show you how to switch to one of them (Z shell) and what benefits come with it.

Highlights of THE Port Hackathon at CERN

• Geoffray Michel Adde (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre 3 long days, a bunch of open minded geeks, a bunch of nice regular human beings, a double-decker bus, a huge kitchen, a fully equipped workshop, 6 problems driven by humanitarian needs, 1 problem fallen off from the stars, a barbecue and a final show.

Mocking in Oracle PL/SQL

• Maciej Grzybek (Warsaw University of Technology (PL))

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre Testing is not very popular in database development, so there are none common approaches how to test software written in database. Surprisingly one of the oldest DB still lacks of appropriate testing approach for its PL/SQL programs. SQLDeveloper's built-in test "framework" is far from excellence, especially it does not cover mocking which is inherent part of testing for any bigger system being developed. This talk will briefly introduce Edition-Based Redefinition by Oracle to be used for mocking.

The CERN Event Operations Center

• Stefan Lueders (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre A short "behind the scenes" of the 60yrs operations centre joining local police, fire brigades and CERN service.
