Set Your Content Free: Why You Need an Open-source Strategy
The document discusses the benefits of adopting an open-source strategy for enterprise content management (ECM). It argues that open source offers lower costs, vendor independence, access to source code, and other advantages over proprietary software. Survey results show that organizations increasingly use open source alternatives to commercial software to save money and benefit from better quality and more innovative options. However, some vendors have responded by acquiring open source companies and proprietary solutions, restricting choices. The document advocates for open standards and open source to avoid vendor lock-in and promote innovation.

High Accuracy Model at what costs - Data Curry
Just how much accuracy do you need in a predictive model? The answer is, interestingly, not as much as you can get. Essentially, any model is at some level a curve fit. So, if you are OK to complicate, you can fit a bit better. While a complex model
is actually going to be more accurate than the simpler models, it is difficult to understand.
Artelnics
Artelnics is a company specialized in developing advanced analytics technology based on neural networks. They have developed tools like OpenNN and Neural Designer to help data scientists build powerful models. Some examples of how they have helped customers include increasing bank telemarketing conversion rates by 2.5x and reducing customer churn at a telecommunications company by accurately predicting who would leave.
Ten Reasons Every Business Needs Remote Workers
Telecommuting is a phrase that's been around for quite some time, but until recently, the idea hasn't been a mainstream business practice. In PGi’s recent Global Telework Survey, it was found that more than ever before, companies are embracing flexible working, with 66 percent of respondents saying telecommuting is more positively viewed in their organization.
With remote work programs gaining more positive attention, it's important for businesses to understand just how important remote workers really are. Find out how businesses can reap huge benefits from having more remote workers on their force.

The document provides an overview of trends in digital media consumption among US consumers in 2013-2014. It finds that consumers are more connected than ever, owning on average 4 digital devices, and spending over 60 hours per week consuming media across multiple screens. This has led to the rise of second screen usage and social media integration with live content. Younger demographics and Hispanics are particularly active adopters of new digital technologies like smartphones.
Big Data for the Rest of Us - OpenWest 2014 - Matt Asay
Everyone wants to launch a Big Data project, but there's still lots of confusion as to how. The key, as this presentation shows, is to minimize the cost of failure and increase iteration, using a strategy based on using well-known open-source tools.

FitForCommerce Whitepaper Series
This document discusses five key components for delivering optimal digital experiences: 1) Content and commerce - making all content and data available across systems to dynamically filter content; 2) Customers and context - understanding customers to deliver personalized, context-aware experiences; 3) Digital and physical convergence - synchronizing online and offline customer data and experiences; 4) Brand and commerce convergence - collaborating across marketing and commerce teams; 5) Scalability - easily scaling the digital experience for new markets, brands, or campaigns. The document argues that considering all five components is necessary to remove friction from the customer experience across channels.

OSCON 2016 - Lessons learned from 15+ years in open source - Matt Asay
From the outside, open source companies try to appear to be Fine Upstanding Open Source Citizens™. On the inside of the sausage factory, however, hard decisions and trade-offs are constantly being made. After nearly 15 years of working for some of the industry’s best-known open source companies, including MongoDB and Canonical, Matt Asay decided to go to work for a company that uses and contributes to open source communities but doesn’t rely on them for revenue.
Matt describes the fundamental struggles every open source business has and explores how different companies have dealt with them (e.g., which features will be open vs. closed, which license to use, etc.). Matt also details why he decided to move on and why maybe you should consider doing so too.

Economics of Open Source Software
This document discusses the economics of open source software. It explains that open source software is not just about sharing or giving things away for free, but is actually closely tied to capitalism. Open source software development spreads costs and risks across many contributors. Companies that adopt open source can benefit from lower costs and more customized software that is improved through peer review. The open source model is economically viable and may be applicable to other fields beyond just software.

新生利用图书馆讲座
The article discusses the debate around whether open source or commercial ITIL solutions are better. While open source solutions offer potential cost savings, the quality and support available can vary greatly depending on the solution and developer community. Commercial solutions provide reputable vendor support but at a higher cost. The best choice depends on factors like the maturity of the company's ITIL processes, the criticality of the applications being managed, and the ability to maintain the open source solution over time.

1. The document discusses open source adoption trends and the importance of community involvement in open source projects. It notes that over 50% of organizations plan to adopt open source software by 2010, including open source ERP.
2. Community is important for open source success but can be difficult to achieve. Most open source projects receive little outside involvement. The document outlines strategies for Openbravo to encourage community participation through modularity and the Openbravo Forge platform.
3. The conclusion emphasizes that community begins when users see self-interest in contributing to Openbravo's development and that both the company and users benefit from an active community.

Open Source Insight: OWASP Top 10, Red Hat OpenShift News, & Gmail Phishing ScamBlack Duck by Synopsys
On Wednesday, a worm started spreading around Gmail that suggested to users a friend or colleague was trying to share a Google Doc. Google has already disabled the offending accounts (only 0.1 percent were affected), and that it was able to stop the worm within an hour. We should take this as a wake-up that we're all potentially vulnerable to attack.

FINAL WORDS
An Analysis Of Open Source Business Models
An open source business model summary:
1) Open source software is developed by a community of volunteers who freely share the source code. This allows many developers to improve the product at low cost.
2) Companies can build businesses around open source software in several ways - by distributing the software, providing support services, or developing proprietary products that incorporate open source code.
3) The main business models are distributors (who sell support for open source software), software producers (who develop proprietary products using open source components), and third party service providers (who offer paid support for open source projects). These models generate revenue from support contracts, software/service sales, and consulting.
Convergence in Enterprise IT ... the renaissance period
Media, messaging and telecommunications convergence is now accepted as the norm. Convergence has resulted in greater consumer choice, lower costs and incredible innovation. It is important to note that even incumbent vendors in this space have much to gain from such convergence as it results in the potential to offer higher value services to customers, thus creating more revenue opportunities.
Enterprise IT has not yet seen convergence come home. We continue to create separation between BPM, SOA, EDA, WOA, SaaS, Cloud computing and more. Unlike the case of telecommunications convergence, however, in the enterprise IT world the incumbents are actually not incentivized to fuel convergence as they continue to "cash in" on old investments, slightly refreshed in some cases.
Fortunately, all hope is not lost! As open standards focused on interoperability become more pervasive, many traditional technological
boundaries are rapidly coming down and falling victim to convergence. Open source further accelerates the process by being the breeding grounds of untethered disruptive innovation resulting in simple, easy to use technologies which are made available freely, thus fueling rapid adoption.
In this talk I explore the growth of convergence in enterprise IT and the radical simplicity it is delivering to enterprise architects & developers.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
