09|10|11 September 2016, Novi Sad, Vojvodina, Serbia, Europe, Earth, Milky Way

The Event

Balkan Computer Congress  is an annual three days gathering of the international hacker community in the organization of LUGoNS – Linux Users Group of Novi Sad and Wau Holland foundation from Hamburg. The first part of the program has been envisaged to be a set of presentations, workshops and lectures on the current topics regarding privacy, technology, software development, free software & socio-political issues. Hands-on projects and hacking have been planned for the second part of the program.

The Location

Novi Sad is the centre of Vojvodina, northern province of Serbia, famous for its multicultural history and active artistic and technological scene (e.g., music festival Exit and digital-media event Share). With a prestigious night life combined with the warm and welcoming character, Novi Sad offers inexpensive prices for lodging and dining, compared to the neighbouring EU. If you’re in Novi Sad or nearby during these dates, this is the place you want to be!

Our Goal

Our goal is to gather all the communities from the region, continent and the World in an effort to hack, play, learn, pass knowledge and exchange experience. BalCCon aims to become the central hacker community in South East Balkan, as well as to provide an opportunity for all people in this part of Europe to connect and to cooperate.
Having said that, we would like to invite you to make and send us proposals for talks, lectures and workshops on all topics of relevance. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Hardware: Hacking, Making, Electronics, Lock Picking…
  • Software: Programming, A.I., F.O.S.S., Demo scene, preservation…
  • Security : reverse engineering, vulndev, malware, penetration testing,

BarCamp (često: unconference) je skup korisnika sa javnim radionicama i predavanjima, njihov sadržaj i proces su razvijeni od strane učesnika na početku samog sastanka, a razrađuju se u daljem toku. Barcamp služi da se razmenjuju ideje, diskutuje, uči i stvara, a proizvod tog rada može već delimično da se vidi krajem ove manifestacije i da pokaže konkretne rezultate (npr. zajedničke programske radionice).

Django workshop #1 – Python web development – Intro Django tutorial 15. 11. 2014. 17h @ FTN classroom 203

Django – Python web framework
http://djangoproject.com

Requirements: bring your laptop, extension cables, novice level of
programming
FAQ: It’s not required to know python.

Python is pretty much a mature programming language. It’s used in large
variety of tasks like user applications, science, a scripting laguage
and in web development. In this workshop we’ll present you the Django, a
Python framework for web applications. Django isn’t a CMS, blog engine
or wiki. Django is a set of libraries and tools which will help you to
build a web application, web service or simply a web site by your
personal preference.

Django is a FLOSS project, developed by the community and the source
code is of course available. If you’re not sure if you will like it or
you don’t believe us that it’s worth considering, here’s few interesting
features:

– Integrated ORM (object-relational mapper)
– Well developed MVC
– Jinja like template engine
– Integrated support for testing
– Auto-generated admin interface
– Support for validating and generating HTML forms from data models
– DB scheme migration based on changes in data models
– Internationalization
– Built-in dev web server

It’s the Python. What else? (:

The idea is that in the first Django workshop we introduce you to Django
through standard tutorial and begin a talk on deployment Python based
web projects to a production server. We hope you will like Django and
Python, and that you will find nice use for it and then that you will
share those experiences with us in some future events.lugons

Django – Python web framework
djangoproject.com

Requirements: ponesite laptop, produžne kablove, osnovno znanje iz programiranja
FAQ: Nije neophodno da znate python.

Python je vrlo zreo interpreterski programski jezik. Našao je veliku primenu u korisničkim aplikacijama, nauci, kao pomoćni skript jezik ali i u web programiranju. Na ovoj radionici ćemo vam predstaviti Django, jedan Python framework za web aplikacije. Django nije CMS, blog engine ili wiki. Django je skup biblioteka i alata koji će vam pomoći da stvorite web aplikaciju, servis ili jednostavno sajt po vašoj meri.

Django je FLOSS projekat, razvija ga zajednica i kod je naravno dostupan svima. Ukoliko niste sigurni da li će vam se svideti ili nam ne verujete na reč, evo nekoliko zanimljivih stvari koje Django pruža:

– Integrisan ORM (object-relational mapper)
– Dobro razvijen MVC
– Template engine nalik na Jinja
– Integrisana podrška za testiranje
– Generisanje administratorskog interfejsa
– Podrška za generisanje i validaciju HTML formi na osnovu modela
– Migracija šeme baze podataka na osnovu izmena u modelima podataka
– Internacionalizacija
– Ugrađen development server

Reč je o Pythonu. Šta više? (:

Ideja je da na ovom prvom okupljanju predstavimo Django kroz standardni tutorial i započnemo priču o postavljanju Python web projekata na produkcioni server. Nadamo se da će vam se Django i Python svideti, da ćete moći lepo da ih iskoristite i zatim da podelite svoja iskustva sa nama na nekom od sledećih druženja.

Linux Install Day -> Saturday, 11th October 2014. from 10:00 to 16:00 hour

Installation and setup Linux by members of LUGoNS

Where, what, who?
Linux Install Day will be held on Saturday , 11th October 2014 . from 10.00-16.00pm at the Faculty of Technical Sciences (FTN) in Novi Sad. The idea is to help you to install Linux. For those who choose that we install Linux for them, they will receive from us installation DVD or CD, if we have them in stock.

Why are we doing this?
Many times people have asked us why we wanted to donate some knowledge, and then to resolve the mystery. We are not masochists who like to charge their work. Simply, if you want to do, (I mean business and jobs under Linux) we have to show people that this operating system is not a chore. The more of us there Linux users, the greater the chances for a job in a Linux environment. Another reason is that it is nice to help, such as people and helped us to stand on our feet with Linux.

What to bring?
First, take the good will and patience! Since there will be relatively few members LUGoNS, we can not guarantee that your machine will be taken care first. There are just few technical requests:

  • First, If you make a desktop computer, carry case, monitor, keyboard, mouse and all cables
  • Second ,on your computer, make sure to / leave a blank, unformatted partition of at least 10GB

Linux Install Day –> Subota, 11. oktobar 2014. godine od 10:00-16:00h

Instalacija ili podešavanje Linux-a od strane LUGoNS članova

Kad, šta, ko, kome, gde?
U subotu 11. oktobra 2014. od 10.00-16.00h na Fakultetu tehničkih nauka (FTN) u učionici L1, će se održati Install Day. Ideja je da Vam pomognemo da instalirate Linux ili ako ste ga sami instalirali, podesimo koliko je to u našoj moći. Za one koji se odluče da im mi instaliramo Linux, dobijaju od nas instalcioni DVD ili CD, ukoliko ih imamo na lageru.

Zašto mi ovo radimo?
Mnogo puta su nas ljudi pitali zašto bismo hteli da poklonimo nekom znanje, pa da razrešimo i tu misteriju. Nismo mazohisti koji vole da ne naplaćuju svoj rad. Jednostavno, ako želimo da radimo, (mislim na posao i zaposlenje pod Linux-om) moramo pokazati ljudima da ovaj operativni sistem nije bauk. Što više nas linuxovaca postoji, veće su šanse za posao u Linux okruženju. Drugi razlog je što je lepo pomoći kao što su i nama ljudi pomagali da stanemo na noge sa Linux-om.

Šta poneti?
Prvo, poneti dobru volju i strpljenje i to pod obavezno! Pošto je LUGoNS članova relativno malo, ne možemo garantovati da će vaša mašina biti sređena prva. Od tehničih zahteva imamo samo par:

1. Ako donosite desktop računar, ponesite kućište, monitor, tastaturu, miš i sve kablove
2. Na računaru OBAVEZNO napravite/ostavite jednu praznu, neformatiranu particiju od bar 10GB

Problem je u tome što ako donesete samo neki deo i uspemo da ga podesimo da radi sa našim hardverom, to nije garancija da će vam taj deo raditi kad ga odnesete kući. Poseban problem predstavlja podešavanje rezolucije na monitoru koji nije Vaš.

Šta očekivati?
Operativan Linux i razumnu količinu podrške. Šta pod ovim podrazumevamo? Prvo, da će Vaš Linux moći da se podigne, da ćete Vi moći da radite u njemu u svim aplikacijama koje Vam instaliramo i da ćete moći da, ako poželite, dodate programe po Vašem izboru sa medijuma koji vam damo. Što se tiče podrške, prvenstveno mislimo na forum i mailing liste. Kada kažemo „razumna količina“, mislimo na to da ćemo Vam svakako odgovoriti ukoliko znamo rešenje, a to podrazumeva da morate detaljno opisati problem.

Šta ne očekivati?
Prvo, da će Vam baš svako parče hardvera besprekorno raditi (prvenstveno se misli na dial-up modeme i hibridne grafičke kartice u nekim laptopovima). Zbog toga što kompanije ne žele da izdaju specifikaciju hardvera, postoje poteškoće sa pojedinim uređajima, mada većina radi besprekorno. Druga stvar koju ne treba da očekujete je „neograničena količina podrške“. Kako nama ovo nije posao, ne može se očekivati da Vam budemo uvek na raspolaganju i sa odgovorima na sva pitanja. Treće, instaliranje Linux-a u raznim virtuelniom mašinama za Windows ne podržavamo, pošto najveći broj nas nema iskustva sa tim programima (mi smo ipak Linux User Group, ne Windows User Group). Takođe, Wubi instalacija Ubuntua nije podržana iz istih razloga.
