Formal verification for IoT automation. I stumbled across a blog post by one Tobias Bohwalli and I reckoned he might have a talk in him. And wouldn't you know.

Raspberry Pi published a piece on the Nerves Car. Awesome. I believe their magazine has a longer article as well.

Maybe you've heard of Riak. Most of use have never encountered this Erlang artifact from the bygone hype cycle of NoSQL. The cycle has moved on but the databases remain and OpenRiak to this day carries massive workloads. Robert Carbone is a scholar of such alien things and will share with us his learnings. So that you too can wield this BEAM database.

Get hands on with AtomVM in this workshop by Davide Bettio. AtomVM is a very cool project in the Erlang ecosystem that is coming more and more into the spotlight. Running Elixir and Erlang within tight memory constraints is a heck of a sport.

Don't miss the Unconference after Code BEAM Stockholm. Bring your topics and curiosity.

BeamOps return and they bring fundamentals. This talk will get you all good and settled in your work with using containers, such as Docker. This is one of the talks that will really benefit any dev, I hope a lot of local Varberg devs make use of it.

Some databases are built different. Teresa Lopes joins us from the Postgres community to share her experiences scaling, running and maintaining a big ol' Postgres database. 100TB is non-trivial it turns out.

Stockholm BEAM folk assemble! Day after Code BEAM Stockholm we will be hosting a little community Unconference. Bring your rejected talk ideas, your curiosity, your interests and lets make up a day of learning and sharing. The Erlang Ecosystem Foundation invites you to come hang.

Getty Orawo is slated to be joining us at Goatmire. We are very happy that we'll be able to hear her story of lazines and Elixir.

I don't know what I could possibly say about this one that is not answered in the description or communicated through the title.

Having seen the conversation about the actual thesis work on ElixirForum I'm also technically curious.

Days working on the Sentry SDK and the rest of the time spent thinking about and working on agents. Peter Solnica is an OG in the Ruby community, has been doing Elixir for a long time now and will be bringing his perspectives on coding agents and Elixir.

https://goatmire.com/talk/i-see-dead-agents

We were very selective about AI and agent talks for Goatmire, we think you'll find the ones we picked interesting whether you appreciate the bots or not.

Get your Nerves device onto Home Assistant. Kevin Schweikert has been brewing a special batch of Elixir nerd catnip. People will get silly on this stuff. I already have several devices up and running with Homex. Get your dashboards ready!

Rather than using "AI" you can actually _do_ AI/ML. The math, the code, the whole thing. Way fancier than writing text prompts.

Alvise is coming to Goatmire to show you how with a proper ML workshop.

Sam Aaron's presentations on Tau5 and Sonic Pi at Goatmire last year were incredibly popular. So when we set up the workshops that was top of the list. And we have space for a whole bunch of people.

Lots of good candidates coming up for the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation board seats. Get me some good buddies up in here. Make your voices heard. Because you are a member right? Otherwise. First step. Become member. Second step, vote.

There is something about maps.. The entire program committee was weird levels of unanimously interested in this hands on map talk.

"Another late-night emergency call. Same client as last week. .. This can’t be an unbounded query or a caching blunder, it’s bigger than that."

This one is about radios.

Peter sent this one in and I'm glad he did though he has been needled about it ever since by his peers in the program committee. As it should be.

Love bad texting over annoying mediums. Let's do it.

Goatmire Elixir speaker announcements begin with Evadne Wu.

"our design takes death seriously .. managed with dignity"

Evadne Wu consistently gives fascinating talks. We were very selective with what agent-oriented talks we accepted for Goatmire. She hit some really interesting points.

Plot twist! ElixirConf EU published the keynotes and lightning talks immediately.

Hope the talks aren't far behind :)

Heading to the airport after a lovely ElixirConf EU. Thanks to all of you that helped make this awesome and an extra shoutout to all of you who came to my talk. I had a lot of fun. Felt good to present at the conf again.

Alembic hack house sessions were a good closer.

#elixirconfeu

Good night Malaga. Having taken stock of the situation I do believe we have an ElixirConf EU on on our hands.

#elixirconfeu

What to wear, what to wear..

Anyone have a good weather forecast for Malaga? I don't like the one Apple is serving me so I'm taking suggestions..
#elixirconfeu

You also don't need to talk to me at #ElixirConfEU. You can just go "uh.. stickers?"

I won't mind. I bring these in case people want them. We always pack in an appropriate sticker when we sell shirts.

See you there.

Selection process for Goatmire has been brutal. Not everything is buttoned up yet but we should be able to let people know quite soon.

I am so excited for the line-up and I think we had cut an entire very solid 1-day conference in the process. oof

#goatmire #elixir

We were unprepared for the last-days influx of submissions.

It looked like we had a pretty good set of talks already. Fewer submission than last year but overall high quality and competitive.

And with this blast of sessions stuff just got HARD. Time to start committing a program.

2 Elixir consultants willing to do 3000 Euro each would cover one major sponsor for Goatmire. 10 of them would bankroll that whole budget post.

Be kind of rad if it was funded by people working in the community. ROI is a questionmark. I'd be happy to make it a special thing.
#elixir #goatmire

She ducked right off for a bit. There were more important things to address. Now she is back and it is our absolute pleasure to welcome Quinn Wilton back to the community and the spotlight.

Last I handed her a microphone she blew the lid off of a live panel and threw DIY dental care into the audience. I think the topic is back to programming. I'm just glad to see her back.

Everyone's favorites Numerical Elixirist, one Paulo Valente, is presenting on how he is bringing Nx to embedded devices in today's (fully remote) Nerves Meetup EU.

Join us. Lovely crew of Elixir enthusiasts with a bit of a hardware focus. But just a lovely time, every time.

The few glorious people that just roll up and go "yeah, we want to sponsor Goatmire". I appreciate you.

I also appreciate the ones that are continuous conversation over many months but today I celebrate the "Just send the invoice" crowd because they do make my life a lot easier.

On that note. Still room for sponsors :D

Procrastination is acceptable up to a point. We all know that eventually, typically the last minute, we must Do The Thing. The Goatmire Call for Talks has one week left. Get on in there:

2 weeks left on the Goatmire Call for Talks. The banger presentations are lining up but we still want more, and specifically you, in the mix.

For Goatmire workshops we are including some that are not specific to Elixir. We're all looking to learn. Local co-conspirator Raniz offered to share his knowledge of TDD. I was pleased to be able to accept.

Lets test som driven development! Right?
https://goatmire.com/talk/test-driven-development

Did I mention these are free?

#elixir #goatmire

Sam Aaron is quite busy at Goatmire.

First a workshop where you can learn to program music.

He is also speaking on his marvellous progress on Tau5.

And a proper DJ set at the After Party at a proper venue to finish out the conference.

The man of two first names heralds a coming of Ash.

We have the pleasure to confirm Zach Daniel returning to the Goatmire stage. May he refrain from untangling the timelines this time.

@hazelweakly that is quite counter-intuitive having spent a lot of time on Twitter and parsing many hashtags as blatant crappy marketing. #crushingit #blessed #todayilearned
Makes sense though :)

If you are in Malaga for ElixirConf EU we hope you arrive one day early. We'll be doing the Elixir Unconference satellite event and our traditional Nerves hack session on the day before. Registration is shared so come to both/either. Read my thoughts on the blog, make a small donation to the EEF and come have fun!

A firmware is never small enough.

But we're getting pretty close. We've been improving deltas to remove unnecessary resources when delivering firmware with NervesHub. Available on a NervesCloud near you.

#elixir #nerves

So glad to have this out. The new UI now covers the whole of NervesHub.

https://youtu.be/cmnsTf6fKls

Now we use the full space of your display where it makes sense. Navigation is nicer. Lots more to improve but should be a good step up. And pinned devices is BACK.

#elixir #nerves

From concepts to bright lights. Chris Dutton builds a DMX lighting controller with Nerves. His talk at NervesConf US is now available.

Yesterday's Nerves Meetup EU had a great talk by @fhunleth about his work on try_boot/autoboot. Automatic reverting of bad firmware on RPi is the point. The video is already up!

As Underjord moves ever deeper into Embedded Linux, IoT and Edge it is only fair to let the competition know what is up. Let's hope they are ready to be #disrupted.

Haven't had a chance to hear it yet but in person this was probably the best podcast recording/panel I have had the pleasure of being involved in.

Hot takes was the rough idea but it went to a much more interesting place.
