- **Event Description**: Topic 1/2: Linux on the Go: The only cellular modem with (nearly) open firmware

Speaker: Camden Bruce

The second talk in Camden’s “Linux on the go series”. This talk is centered on cellular modems and how they work on Linux. The demo modem is a Quectel EG25-G which is the only modem with (nearly) open firmware. This is a rare case, as it is not legal to have access to the firmware of the modem; it opens up the possibility of malicious hijinks…

Speaker: Tim-Hinnerk Heuer

Tim will talk to us about the impact of AI and the current job market on future roles in IT, and why learning programming and Linux is still a good idea despite that.
