Forget about switching keyboard layouts with the "Compose Key" 8m 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre
Growing up with a Spanish keyboard was not an easy childhood (using Shift+7 (/) to search in vim, or having to type AltGr+[ to actually have an opening bracket), so at some point in my life I switched to an American keyboard. At the beginning I was happy switching layouts to either do some coding or talk to my mum (I am not a fan of the classical excuse "sorry for my typos, I don't have the 'ñ' in my keyboard"). Things got much worse when I started to need French characters (ç, è) to interact with some services at CERN, or some Slovak letters (č, đ) to talk to Robert, my Slovak colleague . Then I discovered the Compose Key and my life has been different ever since.

MedRate: a wearable against child mortality 8m 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre
In humanitarian environments, when treating the main causes of child mortality, there are two key vital constants not easily measurable: the heart beat of the foetus and respiration rate of children. During the CERN Medtech:Hack, my team came up with MedRate, an inexpensive wearable able to monitor both. Collaboration is required to make MedRate a reality. Would you join us for a more fair fight against child mortality?

Productivity tips for developers 8m 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre
I like to read about productivity tools and techniques, but the problem is - most of them are completely overrated, the tips are not that useful or they are too difficult to implement. But, sometimes I can find some stuff that really makes me think "damn, how could I live without this before?!". Today, I would like to share some of them and hopefully hear about the tips and tricks that you use. Maybe we can find a way to share them somehow (github repo/forum)?

Virtual Reality, Safety and Human Behaviour! 8m 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre
The use of Virtual Reality (VR) environments opens the door to conduct hazard-free experiments aimed at understanding how people would behave in case of an emergency. The exploration of this systems would help to better design safety systems in complex scenarios to increase its safety robustness in case of unwanted events.

Securing IoT Devices at CERN 8m 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre
CERN has more than 1000 Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which are connected to the office network. We have been doing the research to find all vulnerable IoT devices in CERN and mitigated them. We are currently working on detecting IoT devices automatically and, moreover, identifying the manufacturer, model and the running firmware version. This will help the CERN Computer Security Team to spot vulnerable devices and to show the security risks associated with them.
