A talk about the OSGeo Live project; covering 43 projects that are available in a live DVD format (for you to run without installing). The project is much improved with OGC documentation and a description of many of the projects. New this year (thanks to some sponsorship) is quickstarts for several of the projects.
We have two great organisations hosting FOSS4G this year: The Open Source Geospatial Foundation and LocationTech. Putting on a great event is not the primary responsibility of these software foundations - supporting our great open source software is!
This talk will introduce OSGeo and LocationTech, and balance the tricky topic of comparison for those interested in what each organisation offers and identifying possibilities for collaboration.
Each of these software foundations has an “incubation” process setup to onboard new projects. This incubation process matches the organization's priorities and will address many factors important to you, and few ideas you may not of considered yet.
This talks draws the incubation experience of:
* GeoServer (OSGeo), GeoTools (OSGeo),
* GeoGig (LocationTech), uDig (LocationTech)
If you are an open source developer interested in joining a foundation we will cover some of the resource, marking and infrastructure benefits that may be a factor for consideration. We will also looking into some of the long term benefits a software foundation provides both you and importantly users of your software.
If you are a team members faced with the difficult choice of selecting open source technologies this talk can help. We can learn a lot about the risks associated with open source based on how each foundation seeks to protect you. The factors a software foundation considers for its projects provide useful criteria you can use to evaluate any projects.
How to Open Source an Internal Project
Presented at: All Things Open RTP Meetup
Presented by: VM Brasseur
Abstract: Your company is going to release an internal project as open source. Are you ready for your new responsibilities? You could just throw the code up on a forge (like GitHub, GitLab), but it's unlikely to receive attention or provide much benefit to the company. Open sourcing an internal project requires a lot of thought & work.
Releasing a project as open source requires changes to the development/build/release workflow. This is not about the code per se; it’s about the processes & infrastructure that surround the code & that make the project successful.
This talk will introduce what you need to know & to expect before you release your internal project, including:
- Identifying company goals for the project
- Pre-release due diligence: licenses & code hygiene
- Community expectations & maintenance
- Processes which need to happen in the open
- Communication: internal & external

There are many vision sensors such as high-speed camera, IR camera, depth camera, gaze tracker, and action camera. They are getting smaller, lighter, and less expensive. These vision sensors are imporntat because they can see what human cannot. By using such invisible information effectively, it becomes possible to develop natural, intuitive, and innovative HCI. In this talk, I would like to show some of our researches that uses advanced vision sensors, including LCD tabletop, interactive surface on the water, gaze navigation using unaware blur, dynamic projection mapping, and BallCam.

GitOps, Driving NGN Operations Teams 211127 #kcdgt 2021William Caban
The adoption of cloud-native principles brings new challenges. Scaling and evolving operations teams and staying up to date requires the adoption of new operational models and paradigms.
This deck presents how modern paradigms map to GitOps principles and the charactersitics that must be supported by any software used for GitOps.
Join this workshop and accelerate your journey to production-ready Kubernetes by learning the practical techniques for reliably operating your software lifecycle using the GitOps pattern. The Weaveworks team will be running a full-day workshop, sharing their expertise as users and contributors of Kubernetes and Prometheus, as well as followers of GitOps (operations by pull request) practices.
Using a combination of instructor led demonstrations and hands-on exercises, the workshop will enable the attendee to go into detail on the following topics:
• Developing and operating your Kubernetes microservices at scale
• DevOps best practices and the movement towards a “GitOps” approach
• Building with Kubernetes in production: caring for your apps, implementing CI/CD best practices, and utilizing the right metrics, monitoring tools, and automated alerts
• Operating Kubernetes in production: Upgrading and managing Kubernetes, managing incident response, and adhering to security best practices for Kubernetes
Chaos Engineering is the discipline of experimenting on a distributed system in order to build confidence in the system’s capability to withstand turbulent conditions in production.
Tackling non-determinism in Hadoop - Testing and debugging distributed system...Akihiro Suda
[Presented at FOSDEM 2016: https://fosdem.org/2016/schedule/event/nondeterminism_in_hadoop/]
Developing and maintaining distributed systems like Hadoop is difficult. The difficulty comes from many factors, but we believe that one of the most important reasons is lacking of a good debugger for bugs specific to distributed systems. (e.g., non-deterministic hardware faults, message ordering, ..)
In the talk, we will show Earthquake, our open-source debugging framework for distributed systems. Earthquakes permutes Ethernet packets, Filesystem events, Java/C function calls, and injected faults in various orders so as to control non-determinism in the cluster. Basically, Earthquake permutes events in a random order, but the user can write his/her own state exploration policy (in Go language) for finding deep bugs efficiently. Earthquake also controls non-determinism of the thread interleaving by calling sched_setattr(2) with randomized parameters.
We will also share our successful stories about testing some Hadoop components with Earthquake. For ZooKeeper, we found a distributed race condition bug which decreases availability of a ZooKeeper cluster. We also reproduced a known ZooKeeper bug that no one had successfully reproduced for 2 years, and analyzed its cause. For YARN, we found a disk-fault tolerance bug that inappropriately marks faulty node as healthy. We also found bugs of non-Hadoop softwares, such as etcd.
With Earthquake, you can also test your real distibuted systems without any modification.

Geospatial Temporal Open Standards for Big Data from Space (BiDS2014)George Percivall
Presentation to ESA Big Data From Space (BiDS2014), November 2014.
Big data from space requires processing large amounts of data in a distributed environment. For efficient, quality and cost-effective deployment, these environments must be based on open standards. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) open standards for geospatial-temporal information have been tuned through implementations to meet the needs of big data.

Open Source Practice and Passion at OSGeoJody Garnett
Open Source is more than just a license - join us at FOSS4G to dig into the “best practices” that can help your project succeed with open source. This talk builds on the lessons learned by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation in thirteen years helping project teams and building the foss4g community.
This presentations looks at the core values that OSGeo as an organization ask projects to adopt. We will discuss why we consider these factors critical to success, and practical ways they can be applied to your project.
To introduce OSGeo principles we will look at what is required to list an open source project on our website.
Our community program is used to explore how these principles are applied in practice.
Unpack how each principles is realized in the OSGeo incubation program, using examples of “OSGeo Projects” to explore different ways of achieving success.
We invite project teams interested in succeeding with open source to attend this talk (and list your project on the OSGeo project directory after the presentation).
If you are new to open source, or cautious, consider this talk an introduction to some of the risk factors associated with open source and community work - and mitigation steps to consider.

We have a well developed and respect for procurement of software and services. How does open source effect what you are shopping for?
This talk introduced some of the procurement advantages, trade offs, and options to consider when introducing open source into your organization. A key theme is the additional purchasing power open source offers, additional transparency afforded, along with the responsibility and benefits available through greater control.
This talk looks at what makes the perfect hotdog, including several popular options and the authors regional favourite. I hope this is scheduled just before lunch!
Java Image Processing for Geospatial CommunityJody Garnett
The Java Advanced Imaging is a powerful Java image processing engine underlines our popular OSGeo open source projects - including GeoTools, GeoServer, GeoNetwork, and GeoNode, and more! Tragically there has been one problem with this, the JAI library is not open source!
The library originated at Sun Microsystem as a core component of the Java Runtime Environment, but was not included as part of OpenJDK collaboration.
This talk explores:
* Capabilities that make JAI attractive for GeoSpatial work
* How JAI has been used in our community
* The exciting JAI-EXT project by GeoSolutions
One of the reasons our community has been so addicted to this library is its power. It explored concepts like parallel processing, and distributed parallel processing in 1999, well ahead of the curve. It is an excellent example of engineering and software design.
Importantly we will cover the search for an open source alternative, and are the exciting progress in producing an open source alternative.
Come see how our this foundational library is being propelled into an open source future by our community.
JTS is a geometry library providing a Java implementation of the OGC Simple Features Specification. The code has been translated into a half-dozen languages including C++ (GEOS), .NET (NTS), and Javascript (JSTS).
As a Geometry library the foundation of JTS is the familiar point, line and polygon data structures. The true power of the library is the algorithms that drive our open source GIS industry. These JTS algorithms have been battle hardened with 18 years of real world use offering a balance between performance, computational stability that spells trust.
This talk covers new developments in the JTS library, focusing on performance improvements, and new features. We will also get an update from the development team, their experience at LocationTech, and efforts towards Java 18.9 compatibility.
We also look at what is next for JTS with plans for the future and a few wild ideas that inspire us to continue.

Open Source is hard, we are here to help!Jody Garnett
Open source is responsible for so much good in the world, but it can be difficult to figure out how to start.
* Choosing an open source license, and what it says about your dreams and ambitions
* Trusting your code? Vaccination is important for herd resistance
* Building together with friends
* Success with open source, save the world, get paid
This is a joint presentation from the OSGeo and LocationTech who are here to offer you help, and hope, on your open source journey! Thea is a developer advocate with LocationTech will introduce the services of the Eclipse Foundation and the facilities available to help your project. Jody Garnett from the Open Source Software Foundation incubation committee will introduce how OSGeo supports open source.
If your organizations is migrating to using open source this talk provides insight into how projects are established, governed and developed. We will also look at the responsibilities taken on by software developers, along with the legal support and risk mitigation provided by a software foundation.
Development teams considering taking their projects to the next level, or seeking reassurance, should attend this talk to review what goes into making open source safe, responsible and successful.

Welcome to the Open Source Geospatial Foundation Annual General Meeting offering a project by project, local chapter by local chapter update of our activities in 2018
Welcome to the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, this presentation is on how we actually get work done as volunteers.
This presentation covers the 'lay of the land' introducing our committees, local chapters and projects and describes how each one is organized. More importantly we will look at how each group makes decisions, from the scruffy friendly system administration team who handle your infrastructure requests, to the OSGeo board making final calls on budgets and funding.
We will introduce your guides (by name with pictures) the foundation officers and committee chairs who facilitate all that we do.
OSGeo is best done close to home - setting up a local chapter allows regions (or languages) to support each other grow. We will look at how a local chapter is set up, and several successful local chapters.
Please keep in mind that we are all in this together, attend this talk to see how you can get started (or be more effective) in the OSGeo community.
State of GeoServer provides an update on our community and reviews the new and noteworthy features for the Project. The community has a lot to cover in 2.12 and the recently released 2.13.

Map box styles in GeoServer and OpenLayersJody Garnett
The GeoServer and OpenLayers teams at Boundless are working hard to implement direct native support for MapBox styles. Using the same configuration for client and server styling is a wonderful improvement providing a consistent visual presentation.
MapBox style provides a capability for styling maps with an easy to read JSON format. For OpenLayers this is a significant development as it allows the library to be configured using JSON files, rather than hand building JavaScript objects for each layer. For GeoServer the use of JSON is far easier than the raw XML used by the OGC Styled Layer Descriptor language.
This presentation provides a quick introduction to the visual concepts presented by MapBox style, before switching gears to focus on how they have been implemented by the OpenLayers and GeoServer projects:
OpenLayers provides an amazing hi-def experience on today’s screens and mobile devices. This presentation digs into how this experience has been achieved, what capabilities are supported, and what we are excited to work on next.
For GeoServer you can see how many MapBox style features are now available (and review what control you are giving up by choosing this portable standard).
This presentations provides a good visual comparison of client and server side rendering using identical styling configuration.
To celebrate FOSS4G this is a FOSS4G technical presentation and we will be happy to take questions, demonstrate live examples, explore the implementation challenges, and talk about our lessons learned. We are excited to introduce these capabilities to the community, providing users and developers with an easier and more flexible way to style their maps.
Information can be displayed in many ways tables, graphs, or paragraphs, but the perspective given by a map is hard to beat. Maps provide a great visualization of data that is quick to understand and easy to read.Previously setting up web maps by hand involved sending the data with difficulties of choosing data format and transporting large amount of data. Or setting up a web service to publish the data and creating your own web map requires knowledge of different technologies such as WMS, TMS, OpenLayers and Leaflet.We happy to present an alternative:We are going to demo the QGIS Web App Builder, and explore some of the underlying technologies behind this great feature.As a developer you can also use this declarative approach directly which will be the focus of our talk.We will explore modern web technology and components. Looking at how React (a declarative framework for defining javascript web components) and OpenLayers (popular GIS focused visualization library) can be used together.These are leveraged by a “web sdk” responsible for generating a web application from a simple description.We are excited to show you how building an interactive web map can be quick, easy and fun!
GeoGig is a library (integrated with Geoserver, GeoNode, StoryScapes, and QGIS) and command line tool for distributed spatial data versioning. This talk will introduce you to Geogig, the GeoGig team, and many of the recent changes.GeoGig is a part of the LocationTech working group, and we are incredibly happy to announce our recent GeoGig 1.0 and 1.1 releases. These releases come jam-packed with performance improvements, fixes, and features which fuse together the disconnect between GIS users and the state of their spatial data. GeoGig is an integral part of the Open Source community and works as an extension for other FOSS projects like GeoServer, Geonode, StoryScapes, and QGIS. This ability provides users with seamless control for keeping their layers up to date with the latest modifications performed by other members of their GIS team.

The JTS Topology Suite is the much-loved foundation stone of our industry. JTS is a geometry library providing a Java implementation of the OGC Simple Features Specification. The code has been translated into a half-dozen languages including C++ (GEOS), .NET (NTS), and Javascript (JSTS) While the point, line and polygon data structures may appear straightforward, the real value of the library is the algorithms that drive the open source GIS industry you see around you at FOSS4G. The algorithms in JTS have been battle hardened with 17 years of real world use offering a balance between performance, computational stability that spells trust. This talk will cover new developments in the JTS library, focusing on performance improvements and new features. We will also cover migration tips for those upgrading.The most important new feature is our project’s graduation from LocationTech incubation. This work has been assisted by growth in the project leadership, and the staff at the Eclipse Foundation. As a result of these efforts the project now hosted on GitHub, has nightly build infrastructure, has a Maven build, and is now available from the Maven central repository.We will also look at what is next for JTS with plans for the future and a few wild ideas that inspire us to continue.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
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 “predictable inference”.
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 “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.
