OCEAN - support for Open Cloud projects, Yuri Glikman, Fraunhofer FOKUSOW2
The fundamental goal of OCEAN (http://www.ocean-project.eu) is to foster the emergence of a sustainable open source cloud ecosystem in Europe, by generating greater efficiency among collaborative research projects on open source cloud computing. OCEAN is maintaining an online directory of FLOSS outcomes of cloud projects (www.ocdirectory.org). The project is working provide a functional mapping of these outcomes, in relation with key standards and reference models from leading standardization organizations such as NIST, ETSI, DMTF, OGF, in what we call an Open Cloud Interoperability Framework and Roadmap. OCEAN supports projects by providing an online service, based on the ETICS framework enabling open cloud projects to build, test and check the quality of their software, including interoperability testing and compliance to cloud standards. Finally, OCEAN is organising Plugfests to foster cooperation and integration between projects.

CHOReOS: "Large Scale Choreographies for the Future Internet", from theory to...OW2
The CHOReOS ‘Large Scale Choreographies for the Future Internet’ European FP7 project that started 2 years ago, and is linked to OW2 Future Internet initiative, has now reached a certain level of maturity that is starting to gives concrete answers on how to move from choreography enactment theory, to its actual practice.
More precisely, CHOReOS has defined several methods, toolkits and artifacts to enable this innovative distributed way of coordinating services, while at the same time dealing with some of the inherent difficulties to enacting choreographies in an [Ultra] Large Scale context. For instance, this covers being able to ‘execute’ choreography specifications over a network of discovered, dynamic, Business and Thing-based services.
This presentation will cover the aforementioned topics and specific CHOReOS developments that were undertaken in its second year, while putting them in perspective of a simple practice-oriented and business-driven use-case in Air-Traffic Management.

OW2 Association Européenne aux racines grenobloises, transformer l'industrie ...OW2
Connaissez-vous OW2 ? Aventure commencée en 1999 à Grenoble sur la base d'un consortium industriel dédié au middleware open source, devenu association sans but lucratif d'échelle européenne en 2006 sous le nom d'OW2, nous agissons pour la diffusion du libre dans le monde professionnel depuis plus de 20 ans.
OW2 compte des adhérents de toute taille : 2.600 individuels en adhésion gratuite, et 30 institutionnels, de la TPE unipersonnelle à Orange, Microsoft ou Huawei, de l'Inria ou le Fraunhofer Fokus à la Gendarmerie Nationale ou la ville de Paris.
Nos projets sont plus célèbres que nous : ASM, Centreon, Lutece, PrestaShop, Sympa ou Rocket.Chat vous diront peut-être quelque chose ?
Philosophiquement, OW2 se trouve quelque part entre Eclipse et Apache : culture technique, infrastructure d'hébergement et d'assistance pour les projets, sur la ligne de crête entre l'esprit du libre et les contraintes du business, nous sommes un acteur de l'économie sociale, persuadé que l'open source est central dans une transformation sociétale nécessaire qui ne pourra se faire sans l'adhésion du monde industriel et académique.
A un tournant de notre histoire, nous investissons le créneau de la qualité industrielle des projets avec notre méthodologie "Market readiness Levels", et la gouvernance de l'open-source comme membre fondateur de l'OSPO Alliance (ospo.zone) et éditeur du guide méthodologique "OSS Good Governance handbook".
Ne nous y trompons pas : OW2 est un acteur éminemment politique, porteur d'une vision fondée sur la transformation du monde professionnel et de ses valeurs par le code et la coopération. Et cette présentation, avec un survol de notre histoire, adhérents, initiatives et projets, est également l'occasion d'en débattre.
This presentation by Cedric Thomas (OW2 CEO) details three OW2 initiatives to engage with mainstream open source software users, including the H2020 ReachOut project, Market Readiness and Good Governance.
Towards a sustainable solution to open source sustainability, OW2online20, Ju...OW2
A few years ago, Heartbleed epitomized a massive open source sustainability problem for critical parts of the internet infrastructure. The bug, which affected the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library, notably compromised the confidentiality of 4.5 million US patient records and cost the industry an estimated $500M. It was soon revealed that the root cause of the issue was that OpenSSL was precariously understaffed. Open source sustainability became a major theme overnight. Stories of maintainer burn-out made the headlines. And tentative solutions started to emerge, most of them donation-based. In this talk we’ll explore a number of existing strategies to fund open source and make it more sustainable, from patronage to dedicated ad networks. And we’ll defend the idea that the best path to open source sustainability is to help companies understand the tangible business value they can get from contributing to open source.

Presentation by Gael Blondelle, Managing Director at Eclipse Foundation.
Abstract:
In this talk, we will cover two complementary topics: The different Eclipse projects related to Open Source governance, like Eclipse SW360, SW360 Antenna, and Eclipse Steady, as well as the opportunity to leverage SW360 as the core of a larger Open Source governance initiative.
The Eclipse IP Process that has been applied to hundreds of Eclipse projects for more than 15 years and is going through a modernization process that involves both simplification from the developer point of view, and openness to new source of trusted data like Clearly Defined.
Open source contribution policies, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Open source contribution policies are long, boring, overlooked documents, that generally suck. They're designed to protect the company at all costs. But in the process, end up hurting engineering productivity, and morale. Sometimes they even unknowingly put corporate IP at risk.
But that's not inevitable.
It's possible to write open source contribution policies that make engineers lives easier, boost morale and productivity, reduce attrition, and attract new talent. And it's possible to do so while reducing the company's IP risk, not increasing it.
In this talk, we'll look at the general structure of contribution policies, examples in the wild, and tactics to make them suck less.
We'll also look at how to turn these policies into self-service software, preventing the tedious email back and forth between engineering and legal in most cases and making open source contribution a breeze. Presentation by Tobbie Langel, UnLockOpen.
Software development at scale, pandemic lockdown and oss ecosystems, OW2onlin...OW2
Presentation by Jose Manrique, CEO at Bitergia.
Abstract: 2020 has started intense for many countries. It's been just a few months, but the things we have lived make us feel like it's been years. Covid-19 pandemic has hit everywhere and forced many people to work from home. If you were lucky enough to be in one of these modern companies that have adopted digital transformation years ago, would that be a problem? Many people have thought it wasn't, but it has really been. And what about the rest of the software developers involved in companies not ready for remote work at all?
It's been said that nothing has boosted more companies' digital transformation than covid-19. But, are their managers ready for such change? Managing software development at scale is not an easy task, and this pandemic has disrupted the way projects are being developed in many companies.
During this talk, I would like to share lessons learned from open source development at scale that might help companies to adapt to these changes. But more specifically, lessons about how software development analytics help managers to understand collaborative remote work.
Overview of the OpenChain Reference Tooling Work Group, OW2online20, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Olivier Fendt, Senior Manager Open Source Software at Siemens.
Abstract: The well-known OpenChain project launched in Sept 2019 a Tooling Group. The objective of this group is to realize a turn-key Open Source toolchain for Open Source Compliance, which is / can be easily integrated in the software development CI/CD pipelines. The Tooling Group uses open source principles to accomplish this, creating a meritocracy producing real world solutions for real world challenges, and sharing these results with all interested parties. The presentation gives an overview of the Tooling group its objectives, the areas of focus, the current state and future plans.
Open Source Compliance at Orange, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Nicolas Toussaint, Software Architect, Orange.
Abstract: Orange and Orange Business Services have turned to full open source solutions to tackle the complex problem of respecting the open source legal compliance constraints.
This talk presents the journey undertaken the past few years to build and improve the existing tooling and processes to make compliance validation possible, as well as allow overseeing progresses.
Ideas, methods and tools for OSS Compliance assessment, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Boris Baldassari, Consultant, Castalia Solutions.
Abstract: While Open Source Software has become mainstream, the understanding of its key principles, from ethics and collaboration to governance and community management, is gaining more interest and attention. There is a comprehensive volume of studies and reports backing up our individual and collective experience, yet we still cannot reliably measure these characteristics, and even less clearly define or assess them.
In an attempt to build up confidence and foster maturity in this area, this talk will look at the various existing models and metrics related to OSS compliance and governance, and build upon them to propose methods and tools for their evaluation and analysis. We will discuss the requirements and essential questions to ask, offer guidelines for implementation and suggest efficient ways to present results.
Intelligent package management with FASTEN, OW2online, June 2020OW2
Presentation by Amir Mir, TUDelft.
As recent events, such as the leftpad incident and the Equifax data breach, have demonstrated, dependencies on networks of external libraries can introduce projects to significant operational and compliance risks as well as difficult to assess security implications. FASTEN introduces fine-grained, method-level, tracking of dependencies on top of existing dependency management networks. In our talk, we will present how FASTEN works on top of the Rust/Cargo and Java/Maven ecosystems.

Enabling DevOps for IoT software development, powered by Open Source, OW2onli...OW2
Presentation by Hui Song, Senior Scientist, SINTEF. We would like to share our research journey towards enabling DevOps for IoT applications, and how Open Source makes the journey feasible and fun.
DevOps is widely adopted for developing cloud applications, which supports developers in continuously placing software changes directly to production. As companies are including IoT and Edge devices into their IT infrastructures, supporting DevOps for IoT is a must. However, IoT challenges some fundamental assumptions behind DevOps, such as the homogeneous infrastructure and centralized governance, and therefore, breaking-through research is needed. Funded by H2020, 30 people from 12 partners crossing academia and industry gathered to solve these fundamental challenges, which results in full-stack open source tools for automatic deployment, learning-based operation and security monitoring of IoT applications, and risk management of the development process. The tools are evaluated on industrial use cases in intelligent transportation, smart building, and eHealth.
The mass open source tools and communities around IoT development provides the sound foundation for this design research and the opportunities for the further exploitation of the results. In particular, we are proud of spinning off a start-up to commercialize the risk management services in the open source + SaaS model.
Upcoming Challenges in Artificial Intelligence Research and Development, OW2o...OW2
Artificial Intelligence is now smarter than ever, showing human-like abilities at complex tasks such as images classification or natural language processing.
But despite its recent advances, it's still not a silver bullet. This talk will present a few challenges in the research and development of artificial intelligence that slow down its progress and adoption. In particular, problems around fairness, the training of models and how to share them will be introduced as well as possible Free Software solutions. Presentation by Vincent Lequertier, PhD Student, Lyon UNiverversity.
Cacti and Big Data at Orange France, OW2online, June 2020OW2
We propose a walkthrough of current utilization of Open Source Software in capacity planning for the Orange network infrastructure.
The objective of our project is to have a platform that helps engineers to carefully plan the resources available to them as well as to correlate different incidents within remote parts of the infrastructure.
In order to achieve this we started using Cacti with the Spine collector which worked great, but Orange France is a very large company with many entities, each with its own governance, and so we began to see some limitations.
There was a need to centralize some information from different parts in Orange France as well as to integrate the equipment capacity and load values into BigData Orange.
In order to achieve this we developed the “Puits de donneés” platform completely based on Open Source Software.
The visualization and statistical analysis part is handled by Grafana while the ETL runs on Apache Software Foundation products like NiFi, Zookeeper and Ambari with a storage solution from MariaDB for which we did extensive performance tuning and customization due to the large amounts of data.
