curl up 2021 program

Welcome!

Unless we're too many, let's try to introduce ourselves to the rest of the people so that we know who we are!

The state of curl 2021

The presentation - Daniel Stenberg

Discussion points:

  • TODO - what do you think we should take on next in the project?
  • Contributor merchandise - should we? for whom? what should it be? who wants to help?
  • Can do improve the flaky CI situation?
  • How can we identify build combos missing in the CI set?
  • Thoughts on the annual user survey for 2021?
  • Version 8?
  • Nobody uses experimental features. Can/should we provide pre-built experimental binaries to better allow users to try out early features better ?

curl security 2021

The presentation - Daniel Stenberg

Discussion points:

  • What can we do to improve our code further
  • How can we test curl even better for security purposes
  • Can we get more interest in being an active member of the curl security team?

libcurl under the hood

The presentation - Daniel Stenberg

  • Which are the most opaque details of the internals that need better documentation?
  • What are the "bottlenecks" in the current architecture to use libcurl going forward?

interfacing rust

Experiences from the ongoing mod_tls project.

The presentation - Stefan Eissing

  • Can we enhance curl in any way to make it even better/easier to interface rust (-like) modules?
  • Can we identify other/new parts of libcurl that could benefit from being replaced by a rust coded module?

Curl performance (er ... application profiling)

The presentation - Jim Fuller

  • How well does curl/libcurl perform really?
  • Benchmark / high-performance competition?
  • Can we do performance testing in the CI/regular runs?

Commercial curl

(Daniel Stenberg)

  • If there's time and someone is interested, I could do my short presentation live. I didn't get time to record it ahead of time.

Open Q&A

  • Anything
