Companion to the YAPC::Asia "Everything but the Secret Sauce" deck — this time Jesse covers the *secret sauce*: the homegrown Perl infrastructure that makes Hiveminder tick. Same toolbelt (Template::Declare, CSS::Squish, TAP::Harness, Carp::REPL) presented to the Beijing Perl Workshop crowd alongside the Prophet deck Jesse gave at the same event.
Overview of RTIR (Request Tracker for Incident Response) — the incident-response variant of RT that Jesse and Best Practical built for CERT teams and security responders. Covers the core RTIR workflow: incident reports, investigations, and network blocks, layered on top of RT's ticketing, access control, and reporting. Delivered to a Mexican university audience at the run-up to UNAM's Congreso de Seguridad en Cómputo. 61 slides.
The longer (98-slide) companion to the UNAM RTIR introduction. Same theme — RT and RTIR as open-source tooling for sysadmins, helpdesks, and CERT teams — with more depth on RTIR's incident/investigation/block workflow and the surrounding international user/developer community.
“A grounded, peer-to-peer replicated, disconnected, versioned, property database with self-healing conflict resolution lets users keep sovereignty over their data while syncing across devices and peers. ”
Jesse pitches Prophet at OSCON 2008 as the offline-first alternative to cloud-only apps. The framing: an open-source database with an API family resembling Amazon SimpleDB or Google App Engine, but built for peer-to-peer replication and disconnected use. The first app on top of it is a canonical offline bug tracker that syncs over local networks (the seed of SD).
“Web 2.0 services resemble modern sharecropping — users contribute data and labor, but don't own the services or have control over their data. ”
“A semirelational, peer-to-peer replicated, disconnected, versioned property database with self-healing conflict resolution. ”
Jesse opens up the Best Practical toolchain behind Hiveminder, the collaborative todo-list app. The talk covers Template::Declare (a pure-Perl templating engine where templates are code), CSS::Squish (a CSS bundler/compiler for fewer round trips), faster bug detection with TAP::Harness, and Carp::REPL for live debugging. Delivered at YAPC::Asia 2008. 238 slides.
