0 likes•369 views
Free software refers to freedom rather than price, allowing users to innovate, use, study, share, and improve software. Open standards are independent and ensure free access to technology by being available to all, not dependent on any entity, and allowing for multiple implementations. The Freedom Task Force of the Free Software Foundation Europe provides consultancy and education services on free software licensing and open standards to help avoid common issues around incompatible terms and ensure compliance.

This document presents the results of an extremely naive quantitative analysis of license proliferation in open source software between 2009-2013 based on data from FLOSSMOLE and Freecode. It finds that in 2009, license proliferation was not a major problem despite the existence of several incompatible licenses. However, proliferation grew from 2010-2012, driven by a rift within the GPL communities. The analysis suggests proliferation may now be subsiding as licenses like APL2 and GPL2+ are adopted.

The document discusses the business benefits of investing in open source and free software communities and best practices. It notes that many companies adopted free software without a strategic plan, which is not optimal for return on investment or ecosystem sustainability. The document advocates developing an understanding of how free software creates value and how to effectively engage with relevant communities through strategic investment, compliance, and addressing supply chain challenges. This helps reduce friction while maximizing value, and represents a better long-term strategy than a short-sighted "grab and run" approach.

An Introduction to the Binary Analysis Tool
A website presentation created on the 6th of July 2011 to explain the Binary Analysis Tool originally released by Armijn Hemel and myself in 2009.
The Integration Issue
This document discusses the value of free and open source software (FOSS) and provides guidance on how to successfully integrate it. It notes that FOSS code is flexible and allows anyone to join in building shared platforms that work better. While some lawyers may not fully understand FOSS, following the terms of licenses and resolving any issues through good faith can help leverage FOSS and share value with the community in a sensible way. The key is to decide which license approach works best while letting engineers explore the code and working with other groups to reduce overlap.
Understanding OpenRelief
OpenRelief is developing unmanned aerial vehicles and sensor modules to gather information in disaster zones to help relief efforts. Their first project is a flexible robotic plane that can take off from small areas, map landscapes, and measure conditions using modular sensors. The goal is for these open source tools to provide critical data to existing disaster management platforms to help get aid to those who need it most.

FOSS Economics
FOSS Economics discusses the value of free and open source software (FOSS) with figures showing it contributed €12 billion in code and a €20 billion market in Europe. FOSS provides flexibility for users to use, study, share and improve code while working on shared platforms. Local economies benefit from FOSS through integration and support services as well as start-ups. However, knowledge is required regarding processes for developing and deploying FOSS as well as quality assurance and license management. Local governments can provide information and strategic guidance to local businesses on these topics. Building corporate partnerships involves having a clear value proposition while competing on quality and local skills through constant stakeholder consultation.
Open Source: Business and Governance
This document discusses open source business and governance. It explains that open source uses intellectual property law to grant freedom through licenses, allowing collaboration between stakeholders that drives value. Modern governance focuses on maximizing value through the supply chain by managing obligations and addressing challenges through collaboration. The future of open source will refine returns and risks, though how stakeholders collaborate and use intellectual property remains a rational decision balanced with proprietary approaches.
Strategic Implementation of Free Software in Business
This document discusses the strategic implementation of free software in business. It notes that free software is expected to account for 32% of the European ICT sector and 4% of European GDP by 2010. Implementing free software requires understanding the relevant licenses, developing appropriate processes, and properly managing risks while fostering new solutions and a community model. When done correctly with a long term view, free software allows businesses to do more and enhance their potential.

FOSS Governance and Collaboration
A speech delivered to the audience of the Second OSR Conference in East Asia at Duksung Women's University, South Korea on September 2011.
FOSS Business Governance and Maximizing Value
The document discusses how FOSS (free and open source software) governance has evolved from a narrow focus on license compliance to maximizing value through collaboration. It provides examples of organizations that facilitate cross-border collaboration on FOSS governance, like the Linux Foundation and European Legal Network. Effective FOSS governance now requires understanding obligations but also managing intellectual property throughout the development lifecycle and supply chain to optimize value for all stakeholders.
Open Source In Further Education
The document discusses engaging with open source software in the further education sector. It provides an agenda for a conference on the topic, including who OSS Watch is, what open source software is, why institutions should care about open source, how to engage with open source, and open source policies. It notes that while consideration and use of open source is growing, few institutions fully consider it equally to proprietary software or address open source contributions in their policies.
The Evolution of FOSS Governance
The document discusses the evolution of FOSS (free and open source software) governance from a narrow early focus on license compliance to modern frameworks that maximize commercial and non-commercial value through effective licensing, code management, and issue resolution. It notes that FOSS use has become mainstream in IT, highlighting the need for governance strategies. The talk traces how governance has matured from the early days of ensuring license terms were followed to today's emphasis on processes that allow collaboration while recognizing FOSS's value.
Open Standards0607
An open standard is a collaboratively determined and publicly available standard for technology that maximizes end-user choice. Open standards include common formats like HTML, email, and TCP/IP that allow for interoperability. However, some widely used formats like Microsoft file formats are not true open standards. Open standards promote innovation, software choice, and easy data migration by ensuring all applications can read and write data faithfully. They matter because an organization's data should not be controlled by its choice of software.
Leveraging Open Source
Open source applications are rapidly becoming a mainstream option in almost every area of the higher education enterprise. While we are all familiar with the term "open source" at this point, many of us do not really understand the details of how this model is fundamentally different from proprietary software. During this talk, we will discuss what open source really means, how open source licensing works, some of the major benefits of open source software, common myths about open source, where open source is being used in the enterprise, how open source affects the procurement process, and strategies for adopting open source applications into your enterprise.
open source
Open source refers to a philosophy of free access to software design and implementation details. It promotes sharing and modifying source code. Some key advantages of open source include availability of the source code, contributions from a large development community, lower costs, and greater customizability compared to proprietary software. However, open source software may require more learning and have issues with incompatibility or quality assurance. Popular examples of open source include Android, Linux, and open source digital content. Licenses like GPL determine how open source code can be used and distributed.

The document summarizes Aliens4friends, an Eclipse project that provides tooling for open source license compliance in the Oniro operating system. It discusses key principles of automating compliance work while enabling sustainable human review through reuse. The toolchain gets original source code from the build system, matches components to Debian's reviews, monitors the audit process, and provides a dashboard for visualization. The goal is to implement continuous compliance as a core part of the development workflow.
Maturity Models - Open Compliance Summit 2023
The document discusses a capability maturity model (CMM) for assessing the maturity of an organization's open source software development practices. It presents a five-level maturity framework from initial to optimizing and maps out how capabilities could be assessed across four categories: people and organization, processes, information, and systems. The CMM is aligned with requirements in the OpenChain specification and ISO 5230 standard to provide a potential framework for determining an organization's open source compliance maturity.

Why Apache Kafka Clusters Are Like Galaxies (And Other Cosmic Kafka Quandarie...
Closing talk for the Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code EU (Bratislava, Slovakia, June 5 2024) https://eu.communityovercode.org/sessions/2024/why-apache-kafka-clusters-are-like-galaxies-and-other-cosmic-kafka-quandaries-explored/ Instaclustr (now part of NetApp) manages 100s of Apache Kafka clusters of many different sizes, for a variety of use cases and customers. For the last 7 years I’ve been focused outwardly on exploring Kafka application development challenges, but recently I decided to look inward and see what I could discover about the performance, scalability and resource characteristics of the Kafka clusters themselves. Using a suite of Performance Engineering techniques, I will reveal some surprising discoveries about cosmic Kafka mysteries in our data centres, related to: cluster sizes and distribution (using Zipf’s Law), horizontal vs. vertical scalability, and predicting Kafka performance using metrics, modelling and regression techniques. These insights are relevant to Kafka developers and operators.

Safelyio Toolbox Talk Softwate & App (How To Digitize Safety Meetings)
Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/
