5. How Python saved a rescue dog - a foster fail story
Andreas Moll
tags: Internet of Things
When we decided to foster a rescue dog last year, we had to deliver anti-anxiety medication to the dog while working. We built a drug delivery system using IoT boards, Python and cloud VMs. This talk tells the story how Python turned a crazy idea into a lifesaving DIY project and a foster fail.


6. Data is the new shiny thing
Linda McIver
tags: Education
Data Science is the tag of choice for grant applications, project proposals,
and media opportunities. It’s the latest shiny buzz word toy. But it turns
out that data science is crucial to our lives and the future of the planet.
It’s also a fun, easy, and motivating way to teach kids programming and give
them the chance to make a real difference in the world. So let’s talk about
using Python and real datasets to take over the world, and, incidentally,
teach STEM.



7. Agloe - What the map makers of the 1930s can teach us about protecting our data in 2018.
errbufferoverfl
tags: Security and Privacy
In this talk we are going to do the time warp back to the 1930's and see what the General Drafting Co. can teach us about securing data and breach notification and how to apply them in the modern day. Using free and OSS I show you that security isn't all about expensive 3rd-party products and SOCs.


8. Writing To Be Understood
Merrin Macleod
tags: DjangoCon AU
As developers, we write a lot more than just code. We write commit messages; we
review our colleagues’ code; we email collaborators; we tweet our hottest
takes. 

Good written communication can make your systems easier to use and maintain,
encourage your colleagues to be more receptive to your suggestions, and make
you more popular on the internet. I’ll share some practical ways to communicate
more effectively, and some less practical theory about how people and language
work. 



9. Lighting Macro Photographs with CircuitPython
Stacy Morse
tags: Internet of Things
LED lighting rigs are expensive. Worse, they have little to no controls aside from on/off. Most are not dimmable and changing colors requires the use of gels. In this talk I will discuss how CircuitPython was used in conjunction with LEDs and microcontrollers to make a custom LED photo lighting rig.


10. Python all the subjects!
Digital K
tags: Education
How can we fit teaching coding into an already crowded curriculum?

11. Privacy Preserving Record Linkage
Brian Thorne
tags: Security and Privacy
Record linkage is essential for organizations to collaborate and carry out joint analysis. Instead of trusting someone with lots of personally identifiable information like name/address we can learn the entity matching in a privacy preserving way. Let's talk about a Python implementation of that!


12. Creating Solid APIs
Rivo Laks
tags: DjangoCon AU
Increasingly, our apps are used not by humans but by other apps - via their APIs. Thus your APIs need to be well-designed and easy to consume for other developers.
I will share tips and good practices on authentication, versioning, documentation, response structure, and why it all matters.


13. Writing fast and efficient MicroPython
Damien George
tags: Internet of Things
MicroPython is an implementation of Python designed to run on microcontrollers and embedded systems. These devices don't have many resources (CPU, RAM) and so it's important to write efficient scripts. This talk shows how to make the most of your resources in MicroPython, and has some fun demos!


14. Running Python on your brain computer
Ben Taylor
tags: Education
Reading and predicting what code will do is a fundamental coding skill. But when students read code are they executing it on their brain computer? Or do they only read the words?

This talk will explore learning to read and trace code, misconceptions and how to build a really good brain computer.


15. Security Architecture from Ancient Times
Liam O
tags: Security and Privacy
We all want the systems we design and build to be secure, but it can be hard to know where to start.
Using historical fortifications as real-world examples, this talk will break down and demystify how security controls can be selected, evaluated and integrated to build architecturally secure systems


16. A traveller's guide to mapping technologies in Django
Anthony I Joseph
tags: DjangoCon AU

19. Learning from the mistakes that even big projects make
Michael Still
tags: Security and Privacy
Since 2011, I've worked on a large Open Source project in python. It kind of got out of hand -- 1000s of developers and millions of lines of code. Yet despite being well resourced, we made the same mistakes that those tiny scripts you whip up to solve a small problem make. Come learn from our fail.


20. Becoming a Multilingual SuperHero in Django
Sanyam Khurana
tags: DjangoCon AU
In this talk, we'll see how we make a language agnostic backend, to serve our app in different languages, based on what language the client wants to communicate in.

We'll see how to support translation for static data and dynamic data, using various third-party services.


21. Embedded applications using Python and Debian
Jaminy Prabaharan

50. Stupid computer! Improving error messages for beginner programmers
Tim Dawborn

Python is a great beginners programming language. Unfortunately, many of the exception messages coming from the standard library and parser are very unhelpful to a newbie programmer. We identify some of these cases, make modifications to improve these messages, and assess their effectiveness.


51. All in the Timing: Side-Channel Attacks
Philip James

Here, you’ll learn about a category of security issue known as side channel attacks. You’ll be amused to see how features like automatic data compression, short-circuit execution, and deterministic hashing can be abused to bypass security systems. No security background knowledge is required.


52. End-to-end Energy Monitoring in Python
Tisham Dhar

I built an energy monitoring hardware as a hobby. Firmware for configuring, reading metering data and pushing out to IoT platform is done in micropython. Server for holding the data is Graphite (also python) and analysis of the data is done in python ML framework, Keras. End-to-end energy in python.


53. What is the most common street name in Australia?
Rachel Bunder

Finding the most common street name in Australia may sound like a simple thing to do - but it quickly devolves into a scenic tour of all the things that go wrong when doing data analytics.  I'll be giving advice on how to avoid these speed bumps along with how to work with OpenStreetMaps in Python.


54. Danger Will Robinson! Warning! Warning! Warning! (What Python warnings are, why you should turn them on and how to create your own)
Peter Lovett

Python's warnings mechanism is an important part of creating robust, reliable, production grade code. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most under-used standard libraries. Help find the bugs and errors with warnings! Ignore them at your peril! Suitable for beginner to intermediate.


55. The Case of the Mysteriously High System Load
Brianna Laugher

The software system is struggling, and the logs won’t say why. To make the software run smoothly again, Detective Plum Bago must solve the mystery! This case study shows how to use metrics to identify performance bottlenecks in distributed systems, to ensure the right culprit is captured.


56. Why you should care about types: How Python typing helped my team scale
Luka Sterbic

By now you have probably all heard about Python static typing. But why should you care? Are types in Python even Pythonic? Is Python turning into Java? In this talk I’ll try to answer these questions and explain how type annotations helped my team scale 4x and make developers happier.


57. Python & Spreadsheets: Earth Dog Edition
Kojo Idrissa

Spreadsheets files are great for sharing data. Spreadsheet applications can be a nightmare. In this updated talk, you'll see how OpenPyXL let's you work with those files in a way that's better than using the app OR a .csv. I'll also discuss common problems in working with spreadsheets via code.


58. Creepy, frivolous and beautiful art made with machines (CW)
J. Rosenbaum

66. Consumption is Fractal: Open Source Sustainability
Noah Kantrowitz

We all rely on open-source for just about everything in tech, but the past few years have shown just how precarious most of the ecosystem is. More people need to know about how to both support projects they rely on and run their own projects more sustainably.


67. Resurrecting the dead with deep learning
Aditthya Ramakrishnan

We will use powerful techniques in deep learning to create language models and use them to generate literature in the style of Nietzsche; Rap in the style of Eminem & Compose music inspired by Mozart. The results are so remarkable that it's sometimes hard to tell generated text from the real thing.


68. Refactoring Code With the Standard Library
John Reese

What if you could refactor your entire code base, safely and automatically? How much old code could you fix or replace if you didn't need to worry about updating every reference by hand?

79. Hello to the World in 8 Web Frameworks (Micro, Batteries Included & Async)
Aaron Bassett

A Phileas Fogg inspired tour of 8 frameworks

"Had he programmed? It was likely, for no one seemed to know web frameworks more familiarly; there was no framework so obscure that he did not appear to have an intimate acquaintance with it. He must have developed in everything, at least in the spirit."


80. Reflections on the Creative Process - Illustrated with Watercolour Painting
Grace Nolan

Coding is a creative process. But we don’t really learn about creativity, usually it's all exception handling and Big O complexity. This talk is about introspection and calm coding in the face of long stack traces. Also, I'll be doing a live watercolour painting at the same time.
