+Registration
+------------
+
+Speakers are already registered. All other participants need to register until
+**Sep 1 2016** to enable us to negotiate the best conditions in terms of the
+conference room registration.
+
+Please register by direct mail to [Anselm](mailto:anselm@garbe.us)
+
+Please note that we will collect a conference fee for the conference room and
+lunch/drink package. If the preliminary schedule sticks to Saturday being the
+only day when we book the conference room, we need to expect around *45 EUR*
+conference fee per person.

+

+
+Saturday, 2016-09-24
+====================
+
+(10:00-10:05) *Welcome*, Anselm R Garbe
+
+> Anselm will open slcon3 talk session
+
+(10:10-10:40) libzahl -- simple bignum arithmetic, Mattias Andrée
+
+ Software dependent on algorithms inherently perform
+ better the more complex algorithms. Can we despite
+ this compete with GNU MP and still have a simple
+ solution? This is a discussion about libzahl's design
+ and future.
+
+(10:45-11:15) XML damage control, Silvan Jegen
+
+ XML is a horrendously abused file format that suffers severely from
+ over-engineering. There arguably is one legitimate use case for (a subset
+ of) XML however: text markup. In this presentation I will show why that
+ is and how to best deal with XML when encountered in such circumstances.
+
+ To ease the pain for people like me who have to work with XML every day,
+ I will first give an overview of different parsing strategies employed in
+ XML libraries and introduce the most bearable APIs of the ones available.
+
+ The second part of the presentation is dedicated to the benchmarking of the
+ most sensible XML libraries and to the discussion of possible alternative
+ parsing approaches as well as their implementation.
+
+(11:20-11:50) Stali Pie B+, Manu Raster
+
+ Report on readying Stali for the Raspberry Pie B+ (32 bit). It is
+ also a story about monsters and maiden when we take into comparison
+ other piles of code (kernels, distros etc.) and their build
+ systems. Portability conceptions encountered en route are
+ reviewed and ranked from 1 to 3 (depraved, naive and not too bad).
+
+(12:00-13:00) Lunch break
+
+(13:00-13:50) SCC and QBE for practical compilation, Roberto E. Vargas Caballero
+
+ For now decades, we have witnessed a dramatic increase in the complexity
+ of compilers. Mainstream compilers have become huge C++ programs that try
+ to incorporate all the state-of-the-art research. SCC and QBE propose a
+ new approach to compilation where simplicity and predictability prime over
+ reckless efficiency. These new design constraints have security benefits
+ (as advocated by the "boring crypto" movement) and allow bootstrapping
+ new systems more easily.
+
+(14:00-14:25) ii-like chatting improvements, Jan Klemkow
+
+ Since slcon2 I have made several improvements in my ii-like
+ chatting infrastructure. In this talk I will show the hole
+ picture of my different activities in this area. I will show
+ new features in my UCSPI tool chain, a new modular front end
+ 'lchat' and me idea of an runit integration.
+
+(14:30-15:15) text engine, Francesc Hervada-Sala
+
+ Francesc will introduce his text engine experiment.
+
+(15:20-15:55) Suckless Image Processing, Enric Meinhardt-Llopis
+
+ An image is an array of numbers. Since arrays of numbers are
+ natively represented in C, this language is well-suited for image
+ processing algorithms. Moreover, many complex image processing
+ algorithms are pipelines of simple, independent steps. Thus,
+ the UNIX programming environment is an ideal platform for image
+ processing, where several simple programs written in C share
+ information through UNIX pipes. In this talk, we will see many
+ examples of simple image processing utilities (blur, local maxima
+ detection, interpolation, warping, pointwise algebraic expressions,
+ morphological filters, block matching, optical flow, image fusion)
+ and how they are naturally combined to perform advanced imaging
+ techniques; in the selected example, we show a reflection removal
+ method based on the combination of several images. An important
+ issue, with far-reaching philosophical consequences, is the data
+ format written through the pipes. We explain why the farbfeld image
+ format---proposed by the suckless community---is inappropriate in
+ general, because of the need to represent negative and floating-point
+ pixel values.
+
+(15:55-16:10) Coffee break
+
+(16:10-16:30) shared farbfeld, Jan Klemkow
+
+ Farbfeld is a very good base for general purpose image
+ processing. The Tools which were made so far demonstrate how
+ easy image processing could be divided into cooperative
+ programs. This talk will show an interface to speedup
+ the usage of different farbfeld tools with shared memory.
+ I will show and discuss an idea for an simple architecture of a
+ suckless like photoshop based on my interface, is first
+ implementation and some benchmarks i made.
+
+(16:35-17:15) Lightning talk session (please announce until Sep 23 for easier planning).
+
+(17:15-17:30) stali learnings Anselm R Garbe
+
+ Anselm will present his learnings with stali since last slcon2. In
+ particular he will discuss his new goals with stali and reasoning
+ behind why making stali self-bootstrappable is a bad idea.
+
+(17:30-17:55) stapi - stali for Pi as bee hive observation platform, Anselm R Garbe
+
+ Anselm will demonstrate his stali porting efforts for the Raspberr Pi
+ in order to have a nice platform for observing his beehives. He will
+ discuss temperature and moisture sensor equipment and his IR camera
+ usage.
+
+Official slcon3 talk session end.
+
+(18:00-19:00) suckless.org e.V. Mitgliederversammlung (yearly suckless.org e.V. member meeting)
+
+ - Report of the chairs, Anselm R Garbe, Laslo Hunhold
+ - Report of the treasurer, Jan Klemkow
+ - Other topics (members can raise topics until the begin of the Mitgliederversammlung)
