re:publica is one of the largest and most exciting conferences about digital culture in the world. Since its foundation in 2007, it has grown from a cozy blogger meeting with 700 participants into a wide-ranging “society conference”, with 9.000 visitors at the eleventh edition of re:publica. Representatives of digital culture share their knowledge and decision-making tools, and discuss the future of the information society. Here they can mingle with activists, scientists, hackers, entrepreneurs, NGOs, journalists, social media and marketing experts, and many others. This fosters innovation and creates synergies between net politics, online marketing, network technology, digital society, and (pop) culture. What is more, around 46 percent of re:publica speakers are female – far more than at many other similar events.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

By Leela KumiliIn this episode, Shweta Vohra and Joseph Stein explore what changes when software systems start planning, acting, and making decisions on their own. The conversation distinguishes truly agentic use cases from traditional automation and looks at how architects and engineers should think about boundaries, orchestration, and system design in this new environment.

AWS shipped GA support for Kubernetes Gateway API in its Load Balancer Controller, dumping annotation-based configuration for type-safe CRDs with proper validation. The release handles both L4 (TCP/UDP via NLB) and L7 (HTTP/gRPC via ALB) routing through the Gateway API spec. Teams get cross-namespace routing, automatic certificate discovery, and role separation without cluster-admin permissions.

The panelists discuss the dramatic escalation of software supply chain threats, from typosquatting to AI-generated vulnerabilities. They explain how to move beyond basic scanning by adopting a zero trust mindset toward CI/CD pipelines and external dependencies.
