The document discusses the open source movement and its origins among software developers and local groups in Turkey that support open source. It describes how open source is growing beyond these groups to include open data, hardware, science and more. Major software companies are adapting by releasing open source code and moving to pricing models based on cloud services and subscriptions rather than licensing fees.
This document discusses open source software. It defines open source software as software where the source code is available to the public with a license that allows users to study, change and distribute the software. Open source software originated from the free software movement in 1983 and aims to enhance user freedoms. While common in the early computing era, open source software declined in popularity in the 1970s but has since grown with thousands of projects today. The document discusses how open source software functions by providing access to source code files before compilation. It also outlines some values of open source software like transparency and collaboration. Potential benefits of open source projects include problem solving, signaling quality, and self-production. Challenges include motivation and coordination problems across contributors.
Open Source is now in day to day use in Governments across Europe – some with great success, but others are still using it to a degree well below its opportunity level. But why is this? Is it because of lack of understanding or trust, is it because of lack of political will or leadership, is it because it is just too difficult because of past technical decisions? Or all of these?
Are the blockers to progress technical, financial or political? Or all of these?
A new report to be published by the London School of Economics for the UK Government, and which will be previewed during the talk, examines the TCO of Open Source for Government, but also examines the wider drivers and opportunities.

[Srijan Wednesday Webinars] Simplifying Migration to Drupal 8Srijan Technologies
Speaker: Sugandh Khanna, Drupal Developer, Srijan Tchnlogies
Migrating an entire website from a particular CMS, or even from Drupal 7, onto Drupal 8 can look like a huge task. Traditionally, if we decided to move a website to Drupal 8, we created 100 content types, with their 2000 fields or more, and each field had its own settings and properties. This consumed a lot of time and actual development, that genuinely required logic, got delayed.
But with the three contributed modules: migrate_tool, migrate_upgrade, migrate_plus; switching to Drupal 8 has gotten a whole lot easier. In this webinar, we take a look at how to use these modules to eliminate all the tedious work. We also share some the challenges we faced during site migration and how those were resolved. Join the webinar and become a pro at Drupal 8 migrations.
Who Is This For
-Backend Developers
-Site Builders
-Architects
What's In It For You
- Understand different challenges faced while migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8
- Learn about migrate configurations and its workflow from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8.
- Review some common use cases where complex websites with hundreds of content types were successfully migrated.

The introduction of Object Oriented Programming in Drupal 8 is an evolution in the world of Drupal which has brought the concept of code reuse and encapsulation, allowing users to build better maintainable and structured code. One of the concepts that contribute to this is Dependency Injection and Services in Drupal
Is there a way for someone to modify the process by which Drupal invokes modules without making changes to the core function in Drupal 7? Or is there a better way to access the global variables without calling them directly in Drupal 7? The answer is “No”. This session aims at understanding the dependency injection and services in Drupal 8, that may be a bit complex but are really usable.
[Srijan Wednesday Webinar] Leveraging the OGD Platform and Visualization EngineSrijan Technologies
Data is one of the most valuable resources of modern digitized governance, but raw data alone can not provide the decision makers valuable insights. To turn the numbers into knowledge, we need to separate noise from the data. We also need to choose the right way to present the data, so that it’s easily interpreted.
There Open Government Data Platform India makes a lot of valuable open government datasets available from different sectors. And you are free to leverage these for creating visualizations and info-graphics using the in-house visualization engine.
Watch the webinar and learn how the OGD platform can help you create data-driven products and solutions.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand the importance of visualizations to showcase valuable insights
- Learn how to use open government data in decision making

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
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).
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

1. Open Source Software – Towards a self-reliant India
23 October, 2004 Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 1
2. President, Dr. Kalam's views
• “Software maintenance and software upgrade is an important issue for defense.
Even though the required software for the equipment could be developed by the
private industry, it is essential that the technical know-how and the architecture
is fully available with these services for ensuring provision of life time support for
the software which may or may not be forthcoming from the trade.”
• “...a few months back when I met Bill Gates, the CEO of Microsoft. While
walking in the Mughal garden, we were discussing the future challenges in
Information Technology including the issues related to software security. I made
a point that we look for open source codes so that we can easily introduce the
users' built security algorithms. Our discussions became difficult since our views
were different. The most unfortunate thing is that India still seems to believe in
proprietary solutions. Further spread of IT which is influencing the daily life of
individuals would have a devastating effect on the lives of society due to any
small shift in the business practice involving these proprietary solutions. It is
precisely for these reasons open source software need to be built which would
be cost effective for the entire society.”
• “Our software industry has to move up the value chain and come up with
innovative products that will have a commercial impact in the international
markets.”
23 October, 2004 Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 2
3. President, Dr. Kalam's views
• Open Source software is important for India:
– For ensuring defence security – ensuring we can have access to
ensuring code is safe, independence to make software upgrades even
if trade relations are not forthcoming
– As lives of millions of people will be increasingly dependent upon
Information Technology, we cannot allow that to be held ransom to
whims and fancies of proprietary solution providers
• Knowledge Products, Global competitiveness
– If India has to become competitive in the global markets it has to rise
up the value chain (we must move ahead from being 'cheap labourers'
to 'knowledge workers' and innovate and build 'domain specific'
products and services)
23 October, 2004 Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 3
4. Understanding Open Source Software
• Open Source Software (OSS) is software where the code of the
programme is available for reviewing and modifying by users of
the software
• This presentation has been made in 'Open Office' which is an
OSS counterpart of MS-Office, which is proprietary and the
software is not available for reviewing or modifying
– One can do exactly the same thing – make Documents, Spreadsheets,
Presentations, etc. – just as in MS-Office
– This software code is available for downloading from a website and
you and I could download, and edit the same to add a special feature
in this same application and “sell it” to my customers.
– The only condition is that (under specific licences, in this case GPL)
the 'software code' of this entire product would 'have to' be released to
the customer
23 October, 2004 Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 4
5. Philosophy of Open Source Software
• OSS is more a philosophy of 'Freedom'
– Security, Stability, Cost, Efficiency, Flexibility
– Ethical and moral reasons – of “sharing” - knowledge, intellect,
resources, money
– There is no vendor-locking for years to come
– Most OSS is 'free of cost' since most of these products are built by the
World community on the “Internet”
• The movement primarily started with development of Linux
– Linus Torvalds, a Finnish student, who in 1991 released an Operating
System that he wrote, on the Internet for feedback/review from other
developers around the world
– People started to look at the same, contribute to it, and it started
growing
– Later, they decided to formalise the development and build a
competing “free & open source” Operating System for the world to use
23 October, 2004 Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 5
6. Philosophy of Open Source Software
• Currently an Open Source website – Source Forge – has over
50,000 products available to be downloaded and used
• Range from general daily use software such as Open Office to
high-end security solutions
• The movement has evolved into maintaining “knowledge
databases” of “General Knowledge” and even of “Chemical
Compounds” to keep them open
• The belief is that all knowledge is open to the world society for its
use and upliftment and people must not be held ransom to
greed-based profiteers
23 October, 2004 Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 6
7. Philosophy of Open Source Software
• Wiki-pedia – a 'general knowledge bank' of the entire world –
larger than Brittannica already (and growing) – is available for
anyone to edit and add knowledge – the world community brings
in consensus on knowledge
– Some very unbiased opinions on 'Kashmir' are available there
– Some extremely biased opinions on the Caste-system in India are put
up (but then it is open for us to give a more balanced approach to the
same)
23 October, 2004 Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 7
8. So how does India gain from OSS?
• Even after being called an “IT super-power” India accounts for
less than 2% of all IT outsourcing around the world
• We are considered a destination where there is excellent
technical talent clubbed with excellent English speaking skills
available at 'lower rates' – in hard words – we're 'cheap
labourers'
• Sadly even some of our biggest industry leaders think so:
– The whole process where people get an idea and put together a team,
raise the capital, create a product and mainstream it -- that can only
be done in the US. It can't be done sitting in India. The Indian part of
the equation is to help these innovative US companies bring their
products to the market quicker, cheaper and better, which increases
the innovative cycle there. It is a complementarity we need to enhance
• Nandan Nilekani, CEO, Infosys, quoted in The New York Times, March 7, 2004
• We shall lose our our low-cost advantage very soon to East
Europe, Russia, South America, China, Pakistan, Indonesia
23 October, 2004 Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 8
9. So how does India gain from OSS?
• BPO & software services, is all good – but we must grow further
to stay ahead of the increasing competition
• But how do we grow up the value chain? Where do we go from
here?
• Knowledge Products, Business Consulting (Domain Knowledge)
is the answer
• We must innovate products, gain deeper domain knowledge and
market these products worldwide, including within India for our
local businesses, defence, education, medicine,
telecommunication, knowledge databases (such as bio-resources
mapping to protect against bio-piracy)
• We have a very large pool of products readily available to use,
implement and 'build' (modify) further
• We have a very large community available to 'write software'
(which can also be used by other people, communities and
cultures across the world)

10. How do we adopt OSS?
• Businesses need to:
– start adopting OSS products and solutions
– break-away from the mindset that 'free means unreliable'
– break-away from the mindset that only large vendors
produce reliable software
– become conscious that a lot of them use 'pirated software'
(and not free as a lot of them still think)
• Our government needs to have a consistent policy across states,
cities, schools; Consider this:
– Economic Times, 09 October, 2002: “The Indian government seems to
be taking a leaf out of China's operating system movement, and is
planning a countrywide drive to promote the open source operating
system - Linux, as the 'platform of choice' instead of 'proprietary'
solutions such as Microsoft desktop software

11. How do we adopt OSS?
• Our government needs to have a consistent policy across states,
cities, schools; Consider this:
– Economic Times, 09 October, 2002: “Open IT – Govt to re-write
code in Linux - The Indian government seems to be taking a leaf out
of China's operating system movement, and is planning a countrywide
drive to promote the open source operating system - Linux, as the
'platform of choice' instead of 'proprietary' solutions such as Microsoft
desktop software.”
– Economic Times, 15 October 2004: “Over 12,000 teachers in schools
run by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) will be trained by
Microsoft in providing computer-aided education. An MoU to this effect
was signed by the MCD and Microsoft here on Friday under the IT
corporation's `Project Shiksha'. The training programme, to be spread
over five years, would cost Rs 2 crore and include at least 12,000
teachers from over 1,850 MCD-run schools in the capital
(President, Dr. Abdul Kalam, would have been a sad man this day)
• All government organisations must build and run their applications on non-
proprietary software; even now there are several NIC run websites built on
Microsoft platforms – this will send out a message of their commitment

12. How do we adopt OSS?
• Venture Capital funding:
– Government needs to both groom/mentor companies, as well as make
easy policies to make available funding for small companies
– Private organisations must break away from their wealth-hoarding
mentality and learn from this worldwide movement – “make profits but
share as well”, “knowledge is for the world's people to use and make
their lives better”, “encourage small entrepreneurs”

13. India's contribution to OSS
• India has been a contributor to the OSS movement quite early
– CDAC has been a major contributor, especially with localising Linux
(Indian languages) and several other products
– Individual Indian programmers have been regular contributors to some
extremely high-profile products including on GUI Linux interfaces (we
have been up the value-chain in this case)
• Simputer:
– The Simputer Trust was registered as a charitable trust in 1999 with
the broad goal of harnessing the potential of Information Technology
for the benefit of the weakest sections of society
– The Simputer is a low cost portable alternative to PCs, by which the
benefits of IT can reach the common man : Bridging the “Digital Divide”
– A local community such as the village panchayat, the village school, a
kiosk, a village postman, or even a shopkeeper should be able to loan
the device to individuals for some length of time and then pass it on to
others in the community. The Simputer, through its Smart Card feature
allows for personal information management at the individual level for
an unlimited number of users.
