Security BSides Puerto Rico Community Night - Building Community
This document discusses building community through various initiatives and partnerships. It describes how PRPIG encourages better information professionals by establishing communities like the SNAP platform, DondeEs.com, and the Puerto Rico Python User Group. It emphasizes building on existing work through partnerships rather than reinventing the wheel. The future of community is outlined as focusing on literacy, media literacy, and critical networks to empower members and teach necessary life skills.
Koha: Participation is Key
The document discusses the importance of community participation for open source software like Koha. It states that communities power open source projects and without community involvement projects can die. It provides many ways for library professionals and others to get involved with Koha, such as testing software, answering questions, writing documentation, attending meetings, and more. Transparency, honesty, and mentoring others are presented as key principles for participating in open source communities.
Take the Open Source road: learn, share, grow
Paolo Patierno gave a presentation on open source software where he made several key points:
1) Open source software allows users to view, modify, and distribute the source code freely as opposed to closed source software. It also benefits from large developer communities and tends to be more secure.
2) Common myths about open source include that it is always free, unreliable, can be changed by anyone, and will be instantly fixed by volunteers.
3) Open source benefits from open protocols and standards which make applications more portable, integrated, and supported across multiple platforms.
4) Large tech companies have increasingly adopted and contributed to open source projects which has driven further adoption and standardization in areas like Io
Innovation Driven By Open Source
- Open source is more than just free software - it enables innovation and collaboration through software freedom and leaving users in control.
- To know if software is truly open source, you should check for an open source license that grants users permission to use, modify, share and improve the software without restrictions.
- Open source is valuable because it allows users to start from others' work, stay in control of their resources, share maintenance costs, and influence global ecosystems through collaboration.
Building a bridge between Japanese LibreOffice community and the world
The document discusses building a bridge between the Japanese LibreOffice community and the global LibreOffice community. It describes the LibreOffice events held in Japan, including a mini-conference focused on contributors and a "LibreOffice Kaigi" conference for Japanese speakers. It argues that overcoming the "language valley" caused by differences in English ability requires the Japanese community to act as "piers" rather than a bridge, by encouraging and helping others to engage globally themselves.
WE16 - Navigating the Seas of Open Source Projects
The document provides an overview of open source projects, discussing what open source is, how open source communities work, and tips for contributing to open source projects, including identifying relevant skills, finding a project to contribute to, and understanding how to engage with an open source community. It uses examples like Wikipedia, Linux, and OpenStack to illustrate open source trends and best practices for participation.

Building Bridges Across Company and Community -SCALE15x
Increasingly companies are part of the open source ecosystem and are starting new projects and contributing to projects. And community members often feel that open source is becoming more commercial and driven by companies. How can we learn to work together and coexist? What can we do to increase our understanding of each other and find common ground and bridges? We need to work together more than ever as open source grows. Come and discuss with me, idea for how we can support the continued healthy evolution and momentum of open

Tools to help and engage emerging open source communities towards development...
In the four years of collaboration with LABSOL, we have implemented a set of basic but powerful tools for the rest of the collaborators.
First up In this webinar we will cover how a Cloud IaaS with OpenStack can help developers learn, use and implement cloud instances in their projects.
Secondly we will cover the tools deployed on our OpenStack infrastructure that push developers to collaborate and get used to a workflow as near as possible to what they will find in other companies without leaving the LABSOL community.
Last, we will give a look at our Apache Hadoop cluster, managed with Apache Ambari and how it’s set of tools for data analysis allows our collaborators to start working on data science applications.
The benefits of contributing to open source
In this talk I gave to the PHP Cape Town meetup group, I discussed the 3 main benefits I've found from actively contributing to open source communities (specifically WordPress) over the last 3 years.
Supporting diversity with a new approach to software (os bridge 2016)
From the presentation at http://opensourcebridge.org/wiki/Supporting_diversity_with_a_new_approach_to_software
gsoc
This document provides tips for students participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC). It emphasizes that the key prerequisites are a passion for open source, writing open source projects, and learning new things. Students should find projects on sites like openhatch.org and github and start small by forking projects, making changes, and submitting pull requests. Well-known projects have dedicated developers. Students should get involved early, write a detailed proposal, communicate frequently with developers, and contribute as much outside of GSoC. Open source has a consensus-based culture where criticism is meant to improve work and egos should be dropped. Mistakes are part of learning, and students should not get discouraged.

SFScon18 - Simon Phipps - Open Source: 15+20=What’s next?
The document discusses the history and future of open source software. It notes that open source began 20 years ago as a way to promote free software without the stigma of "free". Open source allows software to be innovated on without permission and shared globally. New technologies like cloud computing and IoT are only possible through open source. Going forward, the document advocates coding for cloud freedom, creating cultures of contribution, automating compliance, cherishing software freedom, and cultivating both charities and consortia to support open source. Software freedom will remain essential for projects to succeed as developers define the future.
Google summer of code OSS keynote
This document discusses open source software development and education. It summarizes research finding that autonomy, mastery, and purpose are key motivators for conceptual work like coding. Open source aligns well with these as it allows independence, skill-building, and a sense of contribution. However, few universities currently incorporate open source into curriculums. The Google Summer of Code program aims to encourage student participation in open source projects. The document calls for expanding open source education and involvement to benefit students and software quality.
CPOSC 2013: 15 Years of Open Source - It's About the People
Russell Pavlicek has been involved in open source since 1995. In this talk, he reflects on how open source has changed in the past 15 years as it has grown from a grassroots movement to a mainstream part of the software industry. He worries that as open source becomes more commercialized and many people are paid to work on it, the passion and spirit that drove the early movement may be lost. He urges open source advocates, especially those who have been in the community for a long time, to teach others about open source's history and values to ensure its roots and heart remain strong.
Rfc.key
This document outlines a meeting agenda for Rails for Charity, an organization that builds open source web applications to help improve society.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc

However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
