SFScon16 - Davide Corio, Alessandro Martellone: “Building a learning community with OpenEdx”
•
0 likes•195 views
Elastico (www.elastico.co) is a young training company focused on the organization and implementation of IT and Project Management courses. Our approach is mainly based on three pillars: quality, openness and collaboration and we try to put them in every project and course which we deliver. In this context, we thought to support the traditional face-to-face classes with a web platform which could encourage users participation and engagement and finally we chose OpenEdX. OpenEdX is an open source, Django-based (mostly), extendable learning platform designed by the M.I.T. and the Hardvard University, that companies, institutions or educators can host and offer their own classes through. The platform has been deployed thanks to Abstract (http://abstract-technology.com/), official Open edX service provider, that is supporting Elastico in this innovative path. In this talk we present through the Elastico’s case study the OpenEdX architecture, its features and strong points.

Introduction Openstack
OpenStack is an open-source cloud computing platform that provides common services for both private and public clouds. It is composed of interrelated components that provide compute, networking, storage and other capabilities. These components include Nova (compute), Neutron (networking), Swift (object storage), Cinder (block storage), Glance (image service), Keystone (identity management) and Horizon (dashboard). Together these provide infrastructure as a service capabilities to deploy and manage virtual machines and applications across public, private or hybrid cloud environments.
Data mining semiinar ppo
This document provides an overview of data mining, including what it is, how it works, advantages and disadvantages. Data mining involves analyzing large amounts of data from different perspectives to discover useful patterns and relationships. It works by extracting, transforming and loading transaction data into a data warehouse where it can then be analyzed and presented. Data mining can help companies understand customer behavior and make better business decisions. While it provides benefits like increased revenue and cost reductions, privacy and security issues must also be addressed.

Led by the rocket like success of Amazon Web Services cloud computing is a paradigm shift in the way we host and deploy infrastructure. Organizations are consuming cloud infrastructure across multiple cloud providers both inside their data center and the data centers of others. The advent of highly portable workloads via containers (e.g. Docker) and discrete units of computing delivered by microservices are enabling organizations (like Netflix) to deploy complex multi-layered products and services at breakneck speeds.
This talk will give an overview of the major cloud services and the open source software (e.g. OpenStack, Apache CloudStack) that can be used to deliver and manage cloud computing infrastructure(e.g. Puppet, Chef, Ansible). The discussion will cover the evolution of cloud computing and how that sets the stage for realizing the agility, flexibility and power of cloud computing.
Attendees should expect to learn about the leading technologies in cloud computing, strategies for using open source software to create/manage cloud computing services and to gain an understanding how current developments are providing a way to create a single cloud fabric that best serves their individual needs.

Highly Available Persistent Applications in Containers - DockerCon16
By Kendrick Coleman at EMC {code}
Persistent applications are typically last on the list when it comes to container strategy, but the benefits that containers bring to general applications can go beyond what most recognize. Adding persistence extends the types of applications that can be containerized and opens the door to new opportunities for operating these applications. Getting there requires the right container platform that includes awareness of storage at all levels. Learn how they both play a critical role in making sure your new container strategy is inclusive of all applications.

Scaling Open edX with Kubernetes
Presented at DevOpsDays Boston. Over the past few years, massive open online courses (MOOCs) powered by Open edX have become wildly popular, bringing free or low-cost education to millions of students around the world. Such success, however, presents a slew of challenging problems in terms of providing a scalable, robust, and secure platform.
At Appsembler, we offer customers a fully managed and supported Open edX stack, all the way from the frontend web application to the backend services like ElasticSearch, MySQL, and MongoDB. With so many moving parts, we have come to realize the value of a multi-container, microservices-oriented architecture using Docker.
In contrast to a single-container deployment of the Open edX stack, a multi-container approach allows us to scale different services independently; improves robustness since we can simply spin up new copies of containers if they go down; and results in improved security through greater segmentation and isolation. In addition to discussing these benefits, we'll also cover how we're managing deployments using Kubernetes for orchestration and service discovery along with Google Cloud infrastructure.
Nate Aune is a developer and entrepreneur with over 15 years of professional experience building highly scalable web applications. Nate is also the founder and CEO of Appsembler. Morgan Robertson is a DevOps Engineer at Appsembler with experience in Docker, Ansible, Python, and automation tools.

Innovation in CS/IT via Open Source Software
As costs around the world continue to rise for education, institutions must become innovative in the ways they teach and grow students. To do this effectively professors and administrative staff should push toward the utilization of Open Software (OSS) and virtual tools to enhance or supplement currently available tools. In developing countries OSS applications would allow students the ability to learn critical technological skills for success at small fraction of the cost. OSS also provides faculty members the ability to dissect source code and prepare students for low level software development. It is critical that all institutions look at alternatives in providing training and delivering educational material regardless of limitations going forward as the world continues to be more global due to the increased use of technologies everywhere. Doing this could provide a means of shortening the education gap in many countries. Through reviewing the available technology, possible implementations of these technologies, and the application of these items in graduate coursework could provide a starting point in integrating these tools into academia. When administrators or faculty debate the possibilities of OSS, gaming, and simulation tools this applied research provides a guide for changing the ability to develop students that will be competitive on a global level.

The complexity of agricultural droughts requires a consistent, reliable, and systematic method for monitoring and reporting. Amongst the various indices used to monitor this phenomenon, the soil moisture anomaly has been proven to be a more reliable predictor. However, the datasets required for computing this index are often large and computationally demanding. To address this challenge, we have developed SMODEX, a Python package that enables scalable, fast, and open-source standard-compliant computation and visualization of soil moisture anomalies.
SMODEX simplifies the computation and visualization of time-series for soil moisture and soil moisture anomalies from high-dimensional climate datasets. It allows for quick and easy parallelization of the computation on a daily, weekly, and monthly timescale. Additionally, SMODEX implements a straightforward workflow for automating the use of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles in producing and sharing outputs by leveraging the open source STAC API. The package is extendible and provides information on how to contribute to the project, test suites, test coverage, and a use case for the South Tyrol region, all provided in the package repository. In the future, additional agricultural drought indices and indicators would be included to serve to even larger community of researchers, policy makers, and individual users.SFSCON23 - Roberto Innocenti - From the design to reality is here the Communi...

The transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 has fueled the need for a secure and decentralized cloud storage solution for digital assets. Web 2.0 was characterized by centralized platforms where user data was under the control of companies. In contrast, Web 3.0 aims to empower individuals and foster a decentralized web that supports and benefits the Free Software and Open Data Communities.
Blockchain technologies facilitate seamless collaboration and interoperability among diverse stakeholders in the Free Software and Open Data communities. Developers can establish open and transparent ecosystems where data can be shared, verified, and integrated across multiple platforms.
Beez, with its own blockchain infrastructure, offers a secure and transparent platform for digital asset exchanges, bolstering transaction integrity and trust. By distributing data across a network of nodes, Beez ensures security and mitigates the risk of single points of failure. Users retain control over their data, safeguard their privacy, and can take advantage of the incentive mechanisms offered by blockchain networks.
During our presentation, we will explore the role of AI within Beez's ecosystem, facilitating accelerated data processing, correlation, and intelligent automation. AI unlocks valuable insights from blockchain data, and we will touch upon the use of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) to enhance programming performance.
The integration of Blockchain and AI technologies holds great potential for advancing the safety and efficiency of the Open Data ecosystem. By combining decentralized data storage, trust-building mechanisms, and intelligent data processing, Beez is paving the way for a more secure, transparent, and user-centric digital landscape.SFSCON23 - Lucas Lasota - The Future of Connectivity, Open Internet and Human...

SFSCON23 - Elena Maines - Embracing CI/CD workflows for building ETL pipelinesSouth Tyrol Free Software Conference
Up-to date measurements of surface meteorological variables are essential to monitor weather conditions, their spatio-temporal variability and the potential effects on a wide range of sectors and applications. Moreover, when included in continuous records of long historical observations spanning several decades, they become essential for assessing long-term climate variability and change locally and on a regional level.
Automated pipelines capable of retrieving and processing near-real time meteorological data satisfy the primary prerequisites towards the development and advancement of effective and operational climate services.
With a public and operational near real-time monitoring web platform in mind, we present automated pipelines to collect and process up-to-date daily temperature and precipitation records for Trentino South Tyrol (Italy) and surrounding areas, and to derive their spatially interpolated fields at sub-km scale. Our pipelines are composed by multiple steps including data download, sanity checks, reconstruction of missing daily records, integration into the historical archive, spatial interpolation and publication onto online FAIR catalogues as (openEO) “datacubes”. The different APIs, data formats and structure across the various data sources, and the need to merge the data onto harmonized meteorological layers, make this a typical case of the so-called Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) pipelines, and, in order to follow the principles of data reproducibility and Open Science, we embraced open-source automated workflow management through GitLab’s Continuous Integration / Continuous Development (CI/CD) capabilities.
CI/CD workflows greatly help the management of the relatively complex graphs of tasks required for our climate application, ensuring seamless orchestration with thorough flow monitoring, application logs, transactions rollbacks, and exception handling in general. Native pipeline-oriented software development also fosters a clean separation of roles among the tasks, and a more modular architecture. This effectively reduces barriers to collaborative development and paves the way for robust operational climate services for researchers and decision makers in the face of the changing climate.SFSCON23 - Christian Busse - Free Software and Open Science
The Open Science movement aims to increase the transparency, reproducibility and inclusiveness of academic research. One of its central goals is therefore to make research outputs broadly available, e.g., manuscripts (Open Access) or research data (Open Data). While software/code created in the course of scientific research is a key artifact of scientific research that is clear distinct from the latter two, it has until recently not received the same attention as manuscripts or data, although it follows its own set of paradigms.
In this talk I will present an overview on how the core concepts of Free Software and the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reuseable) Principles intersect, what this means for managing code as research output and recent initiatives on the European level that will provide support for these issues.

SFSCON23 - Charles H. Schulz - Why open digital infrastructure mattersSouth Tyrol Free Software Conference
Software freedom can be defined in many ways but in legal terms it is squarely defined by a set of approved FSF and OSI software licenses. Yet everyone realizes that beyond these licenses the goal of software freedom and digital sovereignty cannot be achieved without the ability to master and create hardware components and systems - and beyond that, to rely on open digital infrastructure (servers, datacenters, and resources) . This talk will present the challenges around these topics and what we, collectively in Europe already do and can do to ensure our independence and our freedoms.SFSCON23 - Andrea Vianello - Achieving FAIRness with EDP-portal

As open source software becomes the foundation to build digital products, to run the backbones of ICT infrastructure and to ensure digital sovereignty and cyber resilience, both the technology as well as the communities that develop it inevitably move into the focus of regulators. The European Union is advancing a number of policy initiatives that regulate liability, cyber security, data handling and AI applications in digital products, among others. This is a challenge for the still quite decentralised and globally operating open source community. How could the open source community participate in legislative processes, and what may be the potential impacts of the upcoming regulation on the open source development process and community dynamics?SFSCON23 - Marco Pavanelli - Monitoring the fleet of Sasa with free software

How to sharpen the demand for public code across Europe and monitor progress with TEDective
For six years, the Free Software Foundation Europe has been calling with a broad alliance for publicly funded software to be published as Free Software. This initiative has become a great success: Our demand "Public Money? Public Code!" has found its way into government strategy papers, party programs, as well as coalition treaties, and is being discussed in public administrations across Europe.
At the same time, we see less progress than expected and vendor lock ins remain a crucial issue. Digital sovereignty is redefined bypassing Free Software. There is openwashing in publicly funded companies, and government projects in favour of Free Software remain empty words. Public statistics on the procurement of Free Software are largely unavailable.
It is therefore no longer enough to promote the idea of "Public Money? Public Code!". We as the Free Software community should be even more vigilant than before – continuing to praise small steps in the right direction, but pointing out and criticising omissions and lack of implementation. We should become more like watchdogs.
In the talk we will look at some examples of lack of implementation of Free Software policies. We will discuss how we, as civil society, can identify such shortcomings and how to deal with them. We will present our initiative TEDective – a free-software solution that makes European public procurement data explorable for non-experts, aiming to provide you with a powerful tool to keep an eye on real progress towards "Public Money? Public Code!" across Europe.SFSCON23 - Gabriel Ku Wei Bin - Why Do We Need A Next Generation Internet
SFSCON23 - Gabriel Ku Wei Bin - Why Do We Need A Next Generation InternetSouth Tyrol Free Software Conference
The Internet today forms the backbone of the digitisation of our society and economy. As connectivity increases, the boundaries between the real and digital world get increasingly blurred. However, there has been an erosion of trust in the Internet following revelations about the exploitation of personal data, large-scale cybersecurity and data breaches, and growing awareness of the proliferation and impacts of online disinformation.
What can be done to improve the Internet as a platform for future generations? What initiatives are currently in place to build key technological blocks of an Internet that supports human-centric values, such as privacy, security, and inclusion, while reflecting the values and norms all citizens should enjoy in Europe?
This talk will explore why the current state of the internet must be re-imagined and re-engineered in order to support healthy societies, the existing European Commission initiative to work towards doing so, and the role of Free Software in accomplishing these goals.SFSCON23 - Edoardo Scepi - The Brand-New Version of IGis Maps
2023 saw the launch, after a long and well-structured revision and development process, all based on a fruitful collaboration between several departments of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, most of the township in South Tyrol, Informatica Alto Adige (SIAG - Technical partner) and the Consortium of Municipalities of the Province of Bolzano, of the new version of the integrated geographic data management system IGis Maps. In use for years in South Tyrol, has in the Consortium one of its most enthusiastic contributors and supporters.
The very first version was released about eight years ago and its implementation was based on the idea of creating a multi-purpose GIS management system that could support different types of users, that was highly customizable, and, above all, that could be widely shared among the various management entities, both public and private, present within our territory.
After years of use and ad-hoc developments, we can finally present the new version of the IGis Maps system, which incorporates all the technical and technological improvements we realized the system needed.
It was not just a major update together with new functionalities combined inside the previous software structure, but a true re-engineering that led, among other things, to a new and more efficient user interface, a major advancement regarding the internal security, an optimization and improvement of the entire editing section as well as an optimization of the section regarding the automatic geo-processes.
A mobile version is currently under development to better support any field activities, for which a very powerful option will be included, the possibility of creating special work sessions in off-line mode so as to be able to operate even in areas without a proper cellular line network coverage.
Other very important peculiarities concern that the system is developed using a totally free software code and infrastructure, that a detailed documentation has been produced to ensure sustainability to any further future evolution, even in case of technical partner turnover, and finally, that by taking advantage of the high standards and levels of security access can be guaranteed to any type of user. From professional users, through dedicated access and qualifications or, using the ordinary SPID, to the private citizen.
We will show examples of how different types of users and stakeholders now permanently use the system for the management of a variety of tasks related to their activities, and how it was possible to customize IGis Maps to create visualization and data management contexts that best meet their needs.
We will also present a related project concerning the updating and the correction of the new technical basal cartography, built upon the new Basic Core specification, achieved through the automatic conversion implemented by the SIAG team starting from the previous National Core cartography.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
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.
