This document discusses open source organizations and projects. It outlines four types of open source organizations: single vendor projects, developer communities, user communities, and competence centers. It provides examples of each type, including Linux Foundation, Mozilla Foundation, Kuali Foundation, and Swiss Open Systems User Group. The document also describes activities of competence centers such as organizing events, consulting, publishing studies, and coordinating development initiatives.
This upcoming Wikimania 2008 tutorial discusses the three principles of “open collaboration” which I believe are underlying wikis, open source, and other forms of peer production.

Innovate and Collaborate- Harnessing the Power of Open Source Software.pdfYashikaSharma391629
Unlock innovation with open source! Collaborate globally, harness community power. Discover the future of tech. Dive in now!
In the dynamic landscape of technology, innovation is the lifeblood of progress. One of the most significant phenomena driving innovation today is open source software (OSS). This article explores the intricacies of open source collaboration and its pivotal role in fostering innovation in the tech industry.

Technology transfer and North-South partnerships through open source communitiesMatthias Stürmer
Open source communities present a unique opportunity to foster global technology transfer between countries within the Northern and Southern hemisphere and build partnerships between developers and other community members from all over the world. Thus, open source supports efforts to decrease the Digital Divide between developed and developing countries and strengthens vendor-independence of all governments.
This presentation introduces open source software and aims to shed light on why you should care. We’ll highlight what you can or can’t do with it (licensing), and the pros/cons for businesses and individuals.
Open Source ist trotz seiner über 20-jährigen Geschichte immer noch top aktuell. Das Referat blickt zurück auf die letzten 15 Jahre Open Source Aktivitäten, zeigt auf was funktioniert hat und was nicht, und fasst die Learnings zusammen. Ausserdem wird ein Ausblick auf die Open Source Aktivitäten im 2021 gegeben wie beispielsweise die neue Open Source Studie, der Open Source Benchmark und das neue OSS Directory.

Data Colonialism and Digital Sustainability: Problems and Solutions to Curren...Matthias Stürmer
The global datasphere is growing from 60 Zettabytes today to 175 Zettabytes in 2025. Much of this data and software is privately controlled by American and Chinese corporations with enormous market power. Only the seven largest big tech companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, Alibaba or Tencent already have a market capitalization of over USD 8700 billion, which is almost three times India's GDP. This trend is called data colonialism of the cyber space. What problems arise from this and how can they be solved? The concept of digitale sustainability addresses this challenge by presenting a new pathway towards greater data sovereignty.

Der Begriff der nachhaltigen Entwicklung stammt aus einer Zeit ohne Internet und Digitalisierung. Darum braucht es dringend eine Erweiterung des Nachhaltigkeitsbegriffs: Nicht mehr nur die physische Welt mit ökologischen, sozialen und ökonomischen Ressourcen ist schützenswert, sondern auch die virtuelle Welt mit dem digitalen Wissen muss im Interesse unserer Gesellschaft besser geschützt werden.

Vortrag am Donnerstag, 21. November 2019 im PROGR in Bern
Alle sprechen von künstlicher Intelligenz. Was ist das genau und wo wird sie eingesetzt? Was sind unsere Hoffnungen und Erwartungen diesbezüglich? In Zusammenarbeit mit Apropos_ eine Initiative der Stiftung Risiko Dialog sucht die SATW und die Akademien der Wissenschaften Schweiz das Gespräch mit der Bevölkerung zum Thema „künstliche Intelligenz“. Eine Bevölkerungsumfrage ergänzt eine Expertenbefragung der TA‑SWISS und liefert eine Diskussionsgrundlage für die Veranstaltungsreihe “Künstliche Intelligenz in unserem Alltag”.

Nachhaltigkeit und Digitalisierung werden intensiv diskutiert und erforscht, aber nur wenige kümmern sich um eine Verbindung dieser zwei aktuellen Entwicklungen. Wie stehen diese beiden wichtigen Themen zu einander in Relation? Sollte die digitale Transformation nachhaltiger werden oder sollte die nachhaltige Entwicklung stärker die Digitalisierung berücksichtigen?

Nachhaltigkeit und Digitalisierung werden intensiv erforscht, aber nur wenige kümmern sich um eine Verbindung dieser zwei aktuellen Entwicklungen. Wie stehen diese beiden wichtigen Themen zu einander in Relation? Sollte die digitale Transformation nachhaltiger werden oder sollte die nachhaltige Entwicklung stärker die Digitalisierung berücksichtigen? Ja und Ja! Das Referat zeigt die zwei Seiten der Münze auf und versucht eine Verbindung herzustellen. Dabei wird einerseits erläutert, wie die Digitalisierung besser zu Gunsten der nachhaltigen Entwicklung genutzt werden kann. Und andererseits wird anhand aktueller Beispiele aufgezeigt, wie das digitale Wissen im Interesse unserer Gesellschaft besser geschützt werden kann. In der anschliessenden Diskussion sollen die angesprochenen Thesen mit den Anwesenden diskutiert und konkrete Handlungsoptionen entwickelt werden.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
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 ‘mechanical’ 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!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, 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 benefit’s 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.
