Debian to Brewmaster: the alchemy of building SteamOS
Note: WE ARE MEETING AT CIVIC HALL!! We'll need names, and you will
need IDs.
With bandwidth consumption exceeding 2 Tbps at peak time, Steam is the
force driving video gaming today. Valve, the creator of Steam, has
identified that open source offered the opportunity to potentially
free itself from strong dependencies on platforms it had no control
over -- Microsoft Windows and Apple MacOS. This presentation aims to
highlight how Valve leverages and contributes to free and open source
software to create SteamOS, a Debian derivative focused on providing a
stable and reliable OS for the Steam Client.
We will look at details from hardware enablement, Linux kernel,
baseline distribution and all required customizations to produce
SteamOS. This presentation will highlight how Debian derivatives can
be produced to purpose-built software platforms.
Afterwards:
---------------
Join us afterwards at The Storehouse Pub where we'll continue the
discussion over drinks and/or food. The Storehouse Pub is located at
69 W. 23rd Street.
