My OLF Conference Presentation
Last Updated on September 27, 2023 by David Both
OLF 2022 is over now but videos of both days of the conference are available at YouTube. Each of the two videos is of the entire day for December 2 and December 3. All sessions of December 2 which was held entirely in the main room are included in the video for day 1. Only the main room is available for December 3 as the breakout sessions were not livestreamed.
My presentation, “Using and Configuring Bash,” was on December 2 at 2PM. It starts at about 05:08:24. The link below takes you directly to just a few seconds before my presentation begins.
You can download the tarball containing my presentation from my website. It is, naturally, a Bash program instead of a LibreOffice Impress presentation. After all, it is a Presentation about Bash so why not make it a Bash program. It will also be available on the OLF website.

The Linux Philosophy for SysAdmins, Tenet 01 — Data Streams, the universal interface
Everything in Linux revolves around streams of data – particularly text streams.
I recently Googled “data stream” and most of the top hits are concerned with processing huge amounts of streaming data in single entities such as streaming video and audio, or financial institutions processing streams consisting of huge numbers of individual transactions. This is not what we are talking about here although the concept is the same and a case could be made that current applications use the stream processing functions of Linux as the model for processing many types of data.
