I’ve updated the Hugo theme, fixed the syntax highlighting to use Chroma and set up a Github action to publish to a Github Page.

I gave a talk at Commit Conf 2019 (in Spanish). The links to the video and slides are here.

I gave a talk at T3chfest 2019. The links to the video and slides are here.

I have recently attended to the 2019 edition of FOSDEM. These are links to talks that, somehow, I find interesting or relevant:

• Designing Command-Line Tools People Love. Very engaging and though-provoking talk by @carolynvs. Many UX and extensibility-related advice, distilled from the experience she has in creating several battle-tested CLI interfaces.
• gRPC, Protobufs and Go… OH MY!. A gentle introduction go gRPC by @jdg_8. A pity that the demo could not be finished, but very nice and easy-to-follow talk.
• When and How to use CGo. Incredibly useful and engaging talk by @stillinbeta. The good and the bad parts of CGo. I definitely want to see the recording again and study it in detail.
• The clusterfuck hidden in the Kubernetes code base. @krisnova unveilled the reason why certain (anti)patterns arise in the k8s code base. A good lesson in history of the project and some decisions made.
• Embedded with Go: from an AWK prototype to a gokrazy appliance. Super-funny talk by @aissn with demo about using a Raspberry-pi powered by gokrazy for reading NFC tags and playing MIDI. A good piece of hacking and really worth seeing it.
• Many lightning talks, including one by @rakyll about style in packages that is pure gold.
• Go on microcontrollers. Amazing talk by the true showman @deadprogram about tinygo, a promising toolkit to program with Go in resource-limited systems, such as Arduinos or the BBC:Micro. Drones, led stripes, computer vision… don’t skip this one. I even went to the Birds Of Feathers meeting later with Ron, about the future plans for the project. Kudos also for Ayke Van Laëthem, one of the main contributors.

The video and slides of my talk 4 logging and metrics systems in 40 minutes given at Commit 2018 are already available. Hope you like it!

Last weekend I have attended FOSDEM 2018. This year, I have spent the saturday attending the Go devroom. It has been quite exhausting (I wasn’t able even to go the bathroom if I didn’t want to lose my seat) but since this devroom is so crowded, it seems the only possible way. These are the links of some talks that have been specially interesting to me, many talks were recorded so if the videos are not available in the linked pages, just wait a few more days:

I have updated the About me section with the video and slides of my talk at Codemotion 2017. I hope you like it! :-)

Last weekend I attended to PyConES2017, the annual Python conference in Spain. These are some talks and links of things that I have found interesting:

• The Irene (@irenuchi) and Javier Torres’ workshop on basic geospatial analysis using GeoPandas and CartoFrames was amazing. Just download the Jupyter Notebook and give it a try!

• Naomi Ceder (@NaomiCeder) gave a keynote named “Come for the Language, stay for the Community” that reinforced the idea that the Python community is somehow special in its openness and newcomers-friendly character. Very inspiring!

This past Saturday I have attended to PyDay Galicia 2017. It has been a very interesting one-day conference, with 2 tracks (Basic and Professional). These are some of the talks I have attended to:

• Ricardo Samaniego talked about OpenCV con Python. A very engaging talk with loads of live demos showing the power that a few lines of OpenCV for Python can deliver.

• Clara Casas Castedo and Miguel Sánchez de León Peque talked about Python para MacGyvers. The idea of the talk is to show the versatility of Python applied to a series of problems, explained in several jupyter notebooks.

Two months ago I attended to the Source{d} Infrastructure Tech Talks 2017. It was a great event with lots of good talks. I was lucky to be selected to give a lightning talk about From 0 to Anomaly Detection in your infrastructure metrics in 15 minutes. The video is now available online. Thank you very much Source{d} for hosting it!
