Software development organizations are using open source software at an unprecedented scale to build better software faster. Yet while the adoption of open source races ahead, the establishment of policies to govern its use lag far behind. According to Gartner Group, only a minority of IT organizations have established, open-source governance policies in place, and it predicts that by 2014, 50% of Global 2000 organizations will experience technology, cost and security challenges through lack of open-source governance.
In this Webinar, Greg Olson, Senior Strategy Consultant with Olliance Group, a Black Duck company, will explain:
--The four steps to create an open source policy
--How to obtain ‘buy-in’ and support from key stakeholders
--Best practices for rolling out an open source policy in your organization

Agile tour bordeaux 1500 développeurs dans mon équipeAlexis Monville
Résumé :
En apprendre plus sur le développement de produit en mode agile au contact d'un grand projet open source !
Description :
J’apprends l’agile depuis déjà longtemps en pratiquant et en partageant les valeurs, principes et pratiques avec des clients et d’autres pratiquants. Et c’est peut-être depuis que j’interviens au contact d’Openstack, un logiciel libre d’infonuagique (ou si je parle en presque français “a cloud open source software”) que j’ai appris le plus.
Ce que j’ai appris ?
J’ai appris que l’on pouvait créer un produit avec une équipe de 1500 développeurs répartis sur tous les continents, que l’on pouvait avoir la certitude de délivrer les nouvelles versions à date fixe tous les 6 mois, que le processus de revue de code apportait beaucoup plus de bénéfices que ce que j’imaginais au départ, que la gestion des branches de développement pouvait être plus simple et plus efficace. J’ai aussi appris que la socialisation, l’accueil des nouveaux arrivants, le maintien du lien était une chose très importante…
En vous invitant à participer à cette session, je souhaite partager ces apprentissages pour que vous puissiez vous en inspirer dans vos organisations.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
