Marcel de Vries discusses best practices for using open source software in enterprises. He notes that 80% of software is based on open source components and that awareness is key. He demonstrates how to use an artifact repository like Nexus to publish components after builds, scan for licenses and vulnerabilities, and gain insights. While repositories help with transparency and analysis, additional tools and processes are needed for component selection, community engagement, and contribution management to fully address open source usage in enterprises.
Continuous is a hot topic the past two years, but what are the implications if you choose to implement this in you company? Continuous delivery not only impacts the way you arrange the way you work together in an agile way, you also might to reconsider the way you have architected your systems. In order to enable your team to deliver features at high speed and high frequency means you need to carefully architect your system in such a way that you can easily change parts of the system without having downtime. In this session I will dive into some important architectural concepts that you might want to consider if you are building systems that support continuous delivery. Things I will cover are concepts like micro architectures, leveraging cloud solutions to slowly roll out changes cross scale units, design for failure and use of e.g. circuit breaker patterns and how you can provide real time information so you can see how the rollout of your change affects the product in production

“Innovate or die” may sound extreme, but it’s the only way to thrive in today’s ever competitive market. Bernd Greifeneder, CTO of Dynatrace, wanted to ensure that the company was relevant 5 years from now so he formed an internal incubator with one goal: transform Dynatrace into a Cloud Native DevOps organization.
The incubator focused on what the company needed to do in order to integrate nascent cloud technologies so that they wouldn’t be left in the dust when the inevitable tipping point to cloud arrives. Transforming into a cloud native company would allow for rapid release cycles and provide an embedded feedback loop.
The Results: Dynatrace now has a 99.998% availability of SaaS Service and can deploy changes within an hour if necessary. In parallel, a new SaaS and managed offering is released every 2 weeks with 170 production updates per day.
Watch this recorded webinar as Bernd Greifeneder shares the lessons learned moving Dynatrace from an on-prem company to one that is cloud native.
Bernd discusses:

[Workshop] Building an Integration Agile Digital Enterprise with Open Source ...WSO2
Today, transforming a conventional business into a digital one is essential to increase revenue and productivity. Integrating heterogeneous systems and building an ecosystem with integrated components is a fundamental requirement for this.
Most modern systems support integration with other systems through APIs that are exposed to well-known protocols and standards. However, it is hard to expect all existing systems of an organization to be capable of integrating with other systems. Certain legacy systems will only be replaced a few years down the line.
Therefore, the challenge is to drive all these existing systems towards integration. In this half-day workshop, we will discuss how you can use the lean, enterprise-ready, and high-performing WSO2 Integration platform to solve integration and innovation challenges that organizations face when performing brownfield integration.
Discussion topics include:
- The benefits of using open source technologies
- Managing an API lifecycle with open source technologies
- Upleveling brownfield integration with open source technologies
- Customer identity and access management with open source technologies

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

6. The new Microsoft
• Microsoft embraces open source in many areas
now
• Did you know Azure provides many different
flavors of Linux distributions?
• Did you know Microsoft open sourced important
parts of their development platform?
– ASP.NET MSBuild
– SignalR .NET Core (CLR & FW)
– Roslyn compilers WCF

8. Best practices in OSS for the enterprise
• In the Microsoft eco system we are just getting started
• How do you come up with best practices already?
– Look at the eco systems that have been using OSS for a long
time
• E.g. Java ecosystem
– My personal experience as Technology manager, CTO in
terms of risk awareness
• Experiences based on consulting engagements where I worked in
heterogeneous environment
9. Challenge to the enterprise
• Developers want freedom to use open source software
– It is highly encouraged by modern development tools like Visual
Studio
– NuGet, NPM (node), Bower, Maven, etc.
• How can I empower my developers, without bringing my
company at risk?
• I see my .NET developer use open source now, how can I
cope with this and still keep them happy?
10. Open source software
• What are the implications in the enterprise?
What is open source?
Publish open source software
What are common business models?
When can I publish Oss?
What do I need to accept contributions?
Consuming open source software
What are the Licenses implications?
Are there known Vulnerabilities?
How well are these sources maintained?
How can we keep that in control?
11. What is open source anyway?
“Computer software with its source code
made available under a license in which the
copyright holder provides the rights to study,
change and distribute the software to anyone
and for any purpose”
St. Laurent, Andrew M. (2008). Understanding Open Source
and Free Software Licensing. O'Reilly Media. p. 4.
ISBN 9780596553951
12. According to the Open Source
Definition, the license must not:
• Discriminate against persons or groups
• Discriminate against fields of endeavour
• Be specific to a product
• Restrict other software
http://opensource.org/osd
What is a license?
14. Copyleft License implications
• Distribution triggers obligations
– And in some cases using on a network also trigger obligations
(AGPL)
• Obligations are:
• Disclosing the source code of your product;
• Making your product available under that copyleft license;
• Licensing your patents that read on the software.
• Once your product is available under a
copyleft license any recipient can
use it and distribute it without charge.
15. Copyleft and Cloud
• In general, using modified Copy left sources do not need to
be published when used in cloud solution
• Cloud service is in general not considered distribution, but
use of the software
– So does not trigger copy left obligations
• Except for following licenses:
– AGPL
– European Union Public License
– Common Public License
17. OSS Contribution Funnel
• Be able to understand what it does
• Can easily pick it up and use
• Download
• Fork / Follow / FavouriteUse
• Log bugs
• Answer questions
• Write blog posts
• Fix / add documentation
• Fix typos
Contribute Time
• Actually contribute code patches that fix bugs / improve test cases
• Contribute entirely new features
• Translate
• Maintain platforms
Contribute
Code
• Become a core committer (get write access)
• Accept / validate code contributions
• Nurture new people
• Stick around
• Influence the direction of the project
Own
18. Publishing open source
• What do you need when you want to publish open source
software?
• You need to know who worked on the software
– Each individual is a copyright holder!
– If you don’t know, you are at risk going forward, you need to chase
them down
• How about I publish software on my blog?
– You are still the copyright holder and need to set license terms for
others to be able to use it!
19. A Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
defines the terms under which
intellectual property has been
contributed to a company/project,
typically software under an open source
license.
From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia
20. Why would I publish my product as OSS?
• Open source is a proven viable business model
• Company builds and contributes to the open
source software
• Company builds premium components they sell
• Company provides premium services
– e.g. SaaS versions of the product, or consulting
services

25. You need to know what is
used in your enterprise!
How can we empower developers in using open
source but be risk aware?
26. What can we learn from the Java space?
• They use artifact repositories to pull their packages from
and push their packages to
– Provides a single point where you can ask questions about the
software
• In the Microsoft ALM tools, we are used to
– Use Version control repositories for our sources
– Use network drop locations for our build products
– Use the web to pull our packages

28. When you have a repo in
place, you can….
• Scan for licenses in use
• Scan for known
vulnerabilities
• Scan for popularity
29. Meet the artifact repository
• There are different flavors out there
– Alternatives are archiva, Artifactory, Nexus
– You can look at a comparison at:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Maven+Repository
+Manager+Feature+Matrix
• For my demos I am using Sonatype Nexus
– The one I most commonly encountered in my engagements with
customers
– Supports the Microsoft Eco system with NuGet!
38. Part of the puzzle
• Artifact repositories can help you
– Empower your developers to build on shoulders of giants
– Analyze what is in use
• Source code or binaries
– Give insights in your exposure to known vulnerabilities in OSS components
• There are things you need to figure out yourself
– What OSS do we pick for certain parts of the system
– How do you select the right component with an abundance of choice?
– How do you engage with communities?
– How to manage contributions to OSS?
39. What we not covered
• Integrating license and vulnerability scans as part of your continuous
delivery pipeline
• Defining policies for what you allow
– Component Lifecycle Management tooling
– Can plug into your build system or your delivery pipelines
• People and Perception
– Developer bias
– Developer satisfaction
– Not looking at the other side of the fence
40. Summary
• There is more to open source than sources
• Understand licensing
• Understanding the OSS ecosystem
• OSS usage impacts your business
• Set up a strategy to know what you are using
• Artifact repository can help you solve parts of the
puzzle
– Make them part of your Continuous Delivery Pipeline
