OW2 has traditionally provided an infrastructure based on Subversion and GForge. However, software development is evolving toward a more distributed, social, flexible, and lean process. This talk presents how OW2 is embracing this new trend and the new tools and possibilities offered for your OW2 project.

2. From forge to distributed
developer's services
DaaS - Development as a Service ;)

3. The Ancient Ages
When I was a child ...

5. GForge
● Objectweb was a forerunner
○ All in one integrated solution
■ CVS and a Web view
■ Bug Tracker
■ File management
■ Syndication
■ Mailing list
■ Role management
○ LDAP management

6. Up to now
● GForge enhancement
○ Moved from CVS to SVN
○ JSPWiki
● Progressive integration:
○ JIRA, Bamboo, Fisheye
○ XWiki
○ Gitorious
○ Nexus
○ Jabber

7. So far, so good
● Centralized workflow
○ I work in my place and commit to the reference
○ Project team is clearly defined
● But
○ Tools are scattered all around the place
■ Management became difficult
○ Tools are not unified (but sometimes are)
■ Multiple user account to manage
○ Contribution Wall too high

9. A New Hope
The world has changed

10. Development is going "social"
● Introduction of DVCS
○ Git / Mercurial
○ Everyone has the source repository at home
○ Everyone can become the reference point
○ There can even be multiple "trusted" references
○ Workflow schema is open

11. Development is going "social"
● Clone / Fork
○ Fork is no more a swear word
○ More clone is better, means more contributors
○ Contribution re-integration (merge) is super easy

12. Development is going "social"
● Merge / Pull Requests
○ Working in isolation is great, but sharing is the final
objective
○ Mean of contributing back without losing control or
credit

13. Everyone wants to be friends
● Twitter / Facebook
○ Individually subscribe to sources of interest (other
devs, ...)
● Recent tools incorporates a social aspect
○ Follow someone in a Wiki and be notified when
he/she changes a page
○ Follow diverse activities
● There is no community, there are
communities

14. Putting it all together
One vision
