Richard Stallman developed the concept of free and open source software in the 1980s in response to proprietary software that forbade sharing and modification. He founded the Free Software Foundation and developed the GNU General Public License to ensure software remains freely available. Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and combined with software from the GNU project to create a fully functional open source operating system, now known as GNU/Linux. Open source software development involves volunteer contributions from around the world and has produced major programs and platforms like Linux, Apache, Firefox, and LAMP.
FOSS & Society
The document discusses the history of how software was sold and distributed from the early 19th century to present day. It outlines key events like IBM beginning to charge separately for software in 1969 and Richard Stallman's launch of the GNU project in 1984 to create a free Unix-like operating system. Stallman believed software users should have four essential freedoms: to use, study, share, and modify software. This philosophy led to the creation of the GNU General Public License to ensure any versions or modifications of GNU software remained free to use. While open source software has similar goals, the document notes it allows some licenses considered too restrictive by free software advocates.
A Social History of Free and Open Source Software
The document provides an overview of the history and evolution of open source software. It discusses the four freedoms that define open source software. It also outlines the development of new licenses like the Apache and GPL licenses, and how open source became adopted by businesses for benefits like avoiding vendor lock-in and reducing costs.

Innovation in CS/IT via Open Source Software
As costs around the world continue to rise for education, institutions must become innovative in the ways they teach and grow students. To do this effectively professors and administrative staff should push toward the utilization of Open Software (OSS) and virtual tools to enhance or supplement currently available tools. In developing countries OSS applications would allow students the ability to learn critical technological skills for success at small fraction of the cost. OSS also provides faculty members the ability to dissect source code and prepare students for low level software development. It is critical that all institutions look at alternatives in providing training and delivering educational material regardless of limitations going forward as the world continues to be more global due to the increased use of technologies everywhere. Doing this could provide a means of shortening the education gap in many countries. Through reviewing the available technology, possible implementations of these technologies, and the application of these items in graduate coursework could provide a starting point in integrating these tools into academia. When administrators or faculty debate the possibilities of OSS, gaming, and simulation tools this applied research provides a guide for changing the ability to develop students that will be competitive on a global level.

Open Source
The document defines open source as a philosophy that promotes free redistribution and access to a product's design, ideas, and implementation details. Open source software is released to the development community for further evolution, whereas closed source software is developed privately by a small team. Open source has advantages like availability of source code, not depending on vendors, better quality/customizability, and lower costs compared to proprietary software. However, open source can also have disadvantages like a learning curve, incompatibility issues, and lack of financial incentives for developers. Popular examples of open source include Android, Linux, Firefox, and LibreOffice. The document also discusses open source licensing and common myths about open source software.
Foss In Undergraduate Studies
Free and open source software (FOSS) allows users access to human-readable source code that can be modified and redistributed, allowing software to evolve more rapidly than proprietary alternatives. FOSS has gained significant momentum in recent years as large software companies now compete with commercially available open source options. This rise in FOSS popularity has also increased scholarly interest across disciplines such as sociology, economics, and social psychology.

Workflow in Salesforce
Workflow rules in Salesforce allow you to automate actions when certain criteria are met on a record. Rules can be triggered when a record is created or edited, and include criteria that compare fields to values or use boolean formulas. Common actions include assigning tasks, sending emails, updating fields, or sending outbound messages. Additionally, time-based rules can be added to trigger actions based on time durations after a record is created or edited. The status of time-based workflows can be monitored through the Time-Based Workflow option.

Relationships in Salesforce
There are three main types of relationships in Salesforce:
1. Master-detail relationships model parent-child relationships where child records cannot exist without a parent record and parent deletion deletes children. Up to two master-detail relationships are allowed per object.
2. Lookup relationships can link objects without implications for security, deletion, or required fields. Up to 25 lookups are allowed.
3. Many-to-many relationships are modeled using a junction object with two master-detail relationships to the original objects. This allows each record to link to multiple others in both directions.

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.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
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.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

This talk shares our team's practical tips on: 1) How to find the root of the problem by metrics if ScyllaDB is slow 2) How to interpret the load and plan capacity for the future 3) Compaction strategies and how to choose the right one 4) Important metrics which aren’t available in the default monitoring setup.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

- 18. # Moodle - course management system
- 19. # Mozilla Firefox - web browser
- 21. Examples include collage, found footage film, music, and appropriation art.
- 22. Open source culture is one in which fixations, works entitled to copyright protection, are made generally available.
- 24. Open Source Culture (OSC) maintain that some intellectual property law needs to exist to protect cultural producers.
- 25. Older analog technologies such as the telephone or television have limitations on the kind of interaction users can have.
- 28. It is now commonly used to describe forms of innovative publishing of online journalism, rather than the sourcing of news stories by a professional journalist.
- 30. Blogs consist of periodic, reverse chronologically ordered posts, using a technology that makes webpages easily updatable with no understanding of design, code, or file transfer required.
- 33. of ways it can be used in schools. There are many issues facing educators who want to
- 34. use technology and I feel that many of them can be addressed by using Open Source.
- 35. Just so it is clear, I am not suggesting that Open Source is a silver bullet or that it is right
- 36. to use in every situation.
- 38. to use in every situation. I am just pointing out that it should, at least, be a consideration
- 39. when making any decisions about technology that can effect schools or the community.
- 41. There are thousands of projects that are currently being used in schools and many more that could be.
- 42. Below is an overview of just a few of the Open Source projects that educators maybe concerned with.
- 44. It is free and can be easily installed on almost any computer. Red Hat Linux is the most popular distribution(version) of Linux in the United States. It offers ease of set-up, use, and maintenance.
- 45. Another popular distribution is Yellow Dog Linux. It is based on Red Hat and made torun on Apple computers.
- 47. It runs on all major platforms and is free monetarily and liberty wise.
- 48. There are almost no excuses for a school to spend money on MS Office when this alternative is available.
- 49. There are also other Office solutions as well.
- 51. It was created by a few hobbyists who were not happy with the closed-sourcesolutions available.
- 52. They started “patching” (hence the name) a program together to filltheir needs.
- 53. Long story short, as of May 2003, Apache serves 63% of all Internet webpages. (Netcraft Web Server Survey, 2003)
- 54. DIFF BTWN CLOSED & OPENSOURCE
- 56. It cannot only save money, but it also provide an avenue to the latest in technology.
- 57. The community behind Open Source is concerned with creating the best products possible and they do it for fun.
- 59. One of the most common arguments against Open Source in education is “In the
- 60. real world my child is going to need to know Microsoft Word (insert any closed-sourceprogram here) so that is what they should be learning.”
- 62. THANK U
