Planning your project
Planning is essential for any project that produces software, even if it is research-oriented. Development plans should be detailed enough to provide guidance but not constrain the project. The plan should be useful to the project team and use tools that work best for the individuals involved. The plan should set regular milestones to release work in progress and review progress without locking in scope too early. A product-based approach to planning breaks work down into components that can be estimated, and the plan should include testing, integration, documentation, and release tasks.

How can open source CMS's meet the particular challenges that running SME's, NGO's or charities involve? Whether you run a small business, non-governmental organisation or charity, the potential for spending hundreds of thousands of pound on software to assist with the running of your business is untenable, however, how far can open-source software (and particularly content management systems) enable your business to evolve, thrive and even surpass your expectations. In my presentation I intend to discuss; what your content is and how to use it to your advantage when running a complex operation with limited resources. The advantages and disadvantages of utilising open source software and how you can leverage the community to gain support and expertise. What the future for open source projects are and how you can ensure your business/organisation/charity can continue its work into Web 3.0

Open Source Project Management
The document discusses best practices for managing open source projects, including choosing a name and license, setting up communication channels like mailing lists and version control, managing releases, packaging, and translations. Key aspects are being open and transparent from the start, using tools like wikis to organize documentation, and maintaining a consistent vision to keep developers engaged over time. Managing releases involves numbering schemes, release branches, testing, and supporting multiple versions.
How to improve Developer Documentations ?
The document proposes solutions to improve the Teams Dev Docs by addressing developer pain points. It identifies key pain points such as difficulty finding relevant content and understanding errors. Possible solutions include a chatbot that can quickly answer questions and documentation that allows coding in native languages. User research is cited to validate the identified pain points. A phased go-to-market strategy is proposed starting with targeted launches of the chatbot and native language support to capture early adopters. The solutions aim to reduce time spent on documentation and increase new developer adoption.

The document discusses open source software, including its definition, origins, reasons for adoption, advantages for schools, and examples. Open source software has relaxed or non-existent copyright restrictions, allowing anyone to modify or distribute derived works. It originated as "free software" to guarantee access. Schools benefit from open source due to affordability and ability to customize software for their needs. Popular open source examples include the Apache web server, Firefox browser, Linux OS, and Asterisk PBX software.
Software developer
Software development is the process of creating and maintaining software applications and components. It involves conceiving ideas, specifying requirements, designing, programming, testing, and fixing bugs. The software can be developed for a variety of purposes like custom software for clients, commercial software, or personal use. Different methodologies take structured or incremental approaches to the stages of software development which typically include analyzing problems, gathering requirements, designing, implementing, testing, deploying, and maintaining the software. The best approach depends on how well understood the problem is and whether the solution can be planned out in advance or needs to evolve incrementally.

Open Source Software[1]
Open Source Software allows developers to freely access, modify, and share the source code for a piece of software. It is created by an author or company and then made available for free distribution. Open source software projects can involve thousands of programmers collaborating to refine a product. There are many advantages like no upfront costs, rapidly evolving code, and the ability to customize software. However, there are also disadvantages like potential lack of support if a project becomes abandoned and not all community suggested features may be implemented. Popular examples of open source software include Linux, OpenOffice, Firefox, HTML, and Apache.
Understanding the Meaningful Use of Open Source Software
The document discusses several areas to consider when using open source software in clinical contexts, including licensing, intellectual property, contributing to open source communities, legal strategies, and ensuring responsive open source project maintenance. It suggests starting with incubation, growing a community around an open source project, and potentially graduating to a top-level open source project under an organization like the Apache Software Foundation. Factors like community engagement, code contribution policies, and documentation quality impact how "healthy" and responsive an open source project will be.

Issue Tracking
Issue tracking allows organizations to manage changes and bugs in an ordered way. An issue can represent any query, occurrence, or task that may impact a project, such as a software bug, request for change, or action item from a meeting. When an issue is reported, it goes through a typical workflow of being assigned, accepted, worked on, and eventually closed or reopened. Popular open source bug trackers include Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA, with Trac being a good example of a lightweight yet powerful option that allows cross-referencing with wikis and version control systems.
Supporting Software
The document discusses expanding support for software users by providing multiple avenues of help including email lists, FAQs, tutorials, a public issue tracker, and chat rooms. It emphasizes being honest about quality of service commitments like response times, supported platforms and issue scope, as well as types of support offered such as general help or tailored solutions. Alternative resources are suggested to help users help each other through a public archive and code drops while still ensuring individual requests are addressed.
Managing Code in Repositories
The document discusses code repositories and recommends hosting code online for open source projects. It describes how code repositories provide a safe place to store code, manage changes, and collaborate. It then discusses local versus internet repositories and recommends internet repositories for open source projects to avoid hosting burdens. Several popular online repositories are described, including SourceForge, Google Code, and GitHub.
Ssi maintainers
The document discusses enabling smooth transitions between software maintainers. It suggests that when inducting a new maintainer, an experienced maintainer should discuss the software's design, develop code together, and walk through the code. For self-guided learning, documentation like user docs, tests, design docs and commented source code can help navigate understanding. When inheriting a large codebase, inspecting the code, documenting assumptions and designs, and writing tests and user docs creates resources to help future maintainers. Well structured code with tests that demonstrate functionality form a minimal effective handover.
Governance for Software
The document discusses several key aspects of project governance, ownership, exploitation, and funding for software projects, including:
1) Governance models can range from a single leader to a meritocratic model, and the level of control needs to balance the originator's vision with expanding contribution.
2) Ownership is usually defined by copyright, but gets complicated with many contributors; contribution agreements and a single custodian can help define ownership and accountability.
3) Exploitation considers how the software can move forward commercially or as open source, targeting current and potential new users as well as integrators and partners.
4) Funding can come from grants, donations, services, licensing, or spin-

5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.

Editor's Notes
- It’s not just about what you think you need now. It’s about what you, your intended software users/developer community need now and in the future Think about sustainability of software
- look at it from the other side: clear overlap, but not the same
- Choosing the wrong software can be expensive: wrong choice, need to replace it, avoid assumptions!
- Not enough time is generally spent on making the right choice
- Community use/need: bioinformatics - Taverna
- Active community: might be lots of people using it, but are they active within the software’s community?
- Programming language: if you plan to develop with it Easy to build/test suite: automated build and test
