The document discusses careers and work in creative industries. It notes that many young creatives take on "shit work" like call center or bar jobs to pay bills while pursuing their creative careers. This leads to a precarious situation where workers have high turnover, low wages, and lack job security. It proposes building new types of fulfilling work through campaigns around issues like unpaid internships, defining creative work as a social process, and developing unions, social brands, and spaces for collective recognition to fight precarity in the industry.

Team NullPointException presented a remote soccer web game project using QR codes for peer-to-peer control. The game allows two players to scan each other's QR codes using their smartphones to remotely control avatars on a shared field in real-time. The system uses HTML5, jQuery, KineticJS and Socket.io for the client and server architecture. The team's open source QR code library allows other developers to easily add similar real-time QR controlled capabilities to their own websites.
This document discusses the challenges of managing open source licenses in software projects. It notes that licenses can change over time and license data may be unreliable, which can lead to non-compliance and serious legal implications like lawsuits. It presents three approaches to handling licenses: a manual approach, a reactive tool-based approach, and a proactive tool-based approach. The manual approach is time-consuming. The reactive approach detects issues after software is built. The proactive approach iteratively detects licenses throughout the development process using tools to prevent non-compliance and encourage early remediation.
Solving Web Applications Challenges with Build Process and SOCOW2
Nanoko is not a MVC or MVVM framework. Unlike angular or ember, Nanoko proposes a build process ensuring the reproducibility of the build. It also integrates testing, aggregation, minification, and a bunch of web languages such as Less and CoffeeScript. Nanoko also proposes a framework to build and run modular applications. the main outcome of Nanoko comes from this combination: an industrial build process, and a modular runtime.Nanoko does not focus on an UI-centric architecture style, but embraces service-orientation making the development more flexible, and the integration really easy. Ubidreams has developed a cross-platform app named "Gourmandise" for Remy Cointreau. This application is a mobile catalog used by the sales department when meeting customers. In addition to the iPad application a web application (CMS) was developed using the Nanoko stack. This CMS runs on any browser (including IE8)
Mantis is an open-source bug tracking system that can integrate with version control systems like Subversion. Subversion is an open-source version control system that allows developers to work collaboratively. The document describes using Mantis and Subversion together in an integrated code deployment process where developers commit code changes to a repository, issues are tracked in Mantis, and fixes are deployed from Subversion to testing and production servers.
OW2con'14 - keynote from Institut Mines TelecomOW2
The document discusses the evolution from competition to cooperation in innovation through open source platforms. It argues that pure competition leads to monopolies that stifle innovation, whereas open platforms allow for synergies between private companies and commons. To develop sustainable open source models, the document suggests financing platforms through companies' assessments of value received and contributions made, as well as cultivating a spirit of shared development among individuals. It proposes several approaches for OW2 platforms, including living labs, intelligent agent needs, and data-oriented applications.

Introduction of Trustie Software Repository & Passion-Lab Data Center, OW2con...OW2
The existing large amount of OSS artifacts has provided abundant materials for understanding how code is reused in open source universe, in particular, what code pieces are mostly reused, in what circumstances people reuse code, and so forth. Understanding this process could help with legacy software maintenance, as well as help to explore best practice of software development. Targeting the change history data of thousands of open source projects, we try to answer the following question: First, how is code reused by other projects? Second, how are code files organized in project and how does this organization structure change over time? To answer these questions, there are several technical difficulties we have to overcome. For example, because of the different kinds of VCSs, it is hard to figure out a uniform model which can represent the evolution progress of code files stored in them. Also, each VCS may have its own data format, so, extracting data from them is a big challenge. Furthermore, using current software algorithm and hardware platform to analyze the version iteration and reuse information of about a billion code files is another challenge.
OW2con'14 - OW2 Big data initiative, SpagoBI Labs by EngineeringOW2
One of the actual values of the Big Data approach relies nowadays in the smart usage of data to support predictive and prescriptive analysis. In this context, many innovative techniques are becoming essential to properly collect, classify and visualize information, through brand new paradigms. The role of open source communities and ecosystems in this process is crucial and highly beneficial to drive and speed up the Big Data adoption and to foster innovation. The OW2 Big Data Initiative aims to collect and organize ideas and experiences from technological, industrial, scientific and business actors in order to foster the growth of a business ecosystem bringing new opportunities to different stakeholders exploiting the OW2 code base.

European Open Data Portal and Policy Compass: from national Open Data reposit...OW2
In November 2015 the European Commission officially lunched the European Data Portal http://www.europeandataportal.eu . The mission of the portal is to become the catalogue of all European public data providing them in all official languages of the European Union. The portal is harvesting metadata from heterogeneous open data portals of 28 EU and other 11 European countries. It lists over 580 000 datasets and it is the biggest Open Data portal worldwide. From the techincal perspective, it is the first official Open Data portal implementing the new DCAT Application Profile specification.
The portal is the place to find European public data and it is a basis for other innovative services. One of them is Policy Compass https://policycompass.eu. It brings together open public data, social media, e-participation platforms, causal models, and argumentation technology for constructing, sharing, visualizing and debating progress metrics and impacts of policies.
Both portals are Open Source. They provide rich APIs and may become a data source for other applications.

Boosted Framework for Web Accessible and responsvie Websites, OW2con'16, Paris. OW2
Training developer to accessibility is not enough; they need ready-to-use tools.
Responsive Design has been the trigger for many web sites refactoring that gave opportunity for accessibility improvement. By the end of 2014 we compared the major market solutions and Bootstrap appeared to be the best. They benefited from a really big support community, a robust and functional framework, open source and of course with a quite good accessibility level. So we decided to use this framework. We studied how to make its accessibility even better and submitted our improvements to the community. That was a good starting point but not enough, we’ve also got some Orange specific components, our brand is not blue and we want to share our work easily with everybody. That’s why we created an open source fork of Bootstrap, called Boosted, providing the best from native Bootstrap and adding up the Orange Brand, some specific components, and an even higher accessibility level.
The document discusses two main issues in cloud computing: resource allocation and overload management in shared clusters. It proposes a decentralized resource allocation planning approach where each node decides its own resource allocation through market-based coordination. The goal is to maximize the total utility of application requests by prioritizing applications through different utility values.
