How Open Source Helps to Bring Back Product ObsessionSauce Labs
Â
When a company relies heavily on open source, it is a common practice to develop strategies and long term goals to manage the relationship between the companyâs products and the open source ecosystem. We created the Open Source Program Office to:
- Make sure the important open source projects for Sauce are in a healthy state
- Motivate all Sauce Labs employees to consume and contribute to OSS in a simple, secure and healthy way
- Facilitate communication between product and the open source ecosystem
- Bring developers closer to the community to enable innovation and product obsession
- Shape and build important standards for Sauce Labs, such as WebDriver, in collaboration with other open source groups
This talk will show how we are doing all this in small steps, planning for the long run and involving all teams to increase the sense of belonging of OSS. And more importantly, it will show why having an open source strategy matters, and how can this benefit everyone in the long term.
Key Takeaways
- Why Sauce Labs created the Open Source Program Office, current projects and vision for the future
- Why having a healthy open source ecosystem matters and how that can help your organization down the road
- How open source can motivate teams to develop a product obsession

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Â
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 âpredictable inferenceâ.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an âinfrastructure container kubernetes guyâ, 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 benefitâs 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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
Â
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 âmechanicalâ 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!

WHATâS NEXT? WORKING WITH ETAPESTRYâŚ
You must differentiate your organization from others with a similar mission and provide an emotional experience for donors. How can we stand out from the crowd and make a personal connection with our donors? What about the social aspect of fundraising? Friends influence friends all the time and if they trust the community, they will extend their trust to you. How do I build trust and transparency? Your donors expect the latest technologies and innovations as a way to connect with you. How do we leverage the latest technology to stay connected and appeal to new donors? Engagement with your donors will be critical to differentiation. Itâs not enough to ask for a donation and send an email explaining your mission. How do I engage with my existing and potential donors and excel in 2011?
eTapestry allows you to connect with you donors, members and volunteers through multichannel marketing keeping the constituent at the center/heart of the database. Tracking all correspondences back to the donor record / âjournalâ providing the best donor experience possible.
The foundation for good support however, is good training. We developed our training programs to be very different from traditional software training. Instead of force feeding you as much information as possible in a short classroom setting, we do our training online. It allows you to learn at a pace that suits you. It allows you to select the specific areas you need to focus on, and it gives you unlimited access. (review class options)
Now that you know all about the tools that can help you succeed in your fundraising efforts we have award winning support specialist that can answer any of the questions you may have while utilizing all these tools. Not to mention for your convenience we have several ways to contact your customer support representative.
School on Wheels replaced their spreadsheets with eTapestry and saw immediate results that speak for themselves:The ChallengeSchool on Wheels used Microsoft ExcelÂŽ spreadsheets to manage its data, but staff could not query for mailings to board members, corporations, foundations, etc. Further compounding the problem was the fact that different spreadsheets were kept across the organization and there was no visibility into the data, its accuracy, or the overall well-being of School on Wheels.The SolutionMore than five years ago, a board member introduced the organization to eTapestry, and as a small organization, School on Wheels began using the free âunder 500â database (the very first offering in the eTapestry family). Since then, the organizationâs database has grown to 2,500 records and staff now use eTapestryâseCommerce, Web 2.0, and Executive Reports modules.The ResultsStaff recently completed a successful online fundraising campaign, raising $30,000 in just one month! They also used the solution to process auction items at the organizationâs recent gala, which raised more than $40,000. (For this event, staff used Web 2.0 to manage online giving, which was a huge success.)âEvery year we use the database more and more,â said Janet Hiatt, vice president of development. âItâs so user-friendly, and âinstant messageâ support is so convenient - the chat feature makes it so easy to contact the support team when we need to.âSchool on Wheels staff have built stronger relationships with donors and better engaged board members with eTapestry. Executive Reports has been especially useful; board members can personally call, write, or email donors to thank them for their gifts. Plus, staff can update the records with information about why each donor supports School on Wheels, how they got involved, and more, and they can quickly identify donors who have lapsed or downgraded so that the board can ask for their continued support. They say itâs a great way to engage board members in the fundraising process and keep valuable information about donors in one place, all while retaining and even upgrading donors.
