ActiveState - The Open Source Languages Company

ActiveState

According to BlackDuck’s recent survey*, over three-quarters of all enterprises run on some form of open source software. Many use open source within their mission-critical IT portfolios, whether they know it or not - and open source languages are a major component of this open source usage. However, unsupported open source is often insufficient for SMB-to-large corporations in today’s multi-faceted and complicated technology landscape. Many enterprises remain wary of open source, citing multi-platform support, indemnification, legacy versions, and commercial support as critical to their software success. ActiveState will be building for support both community users and enterprises with the introduction of ActiveRuby, ActiveNode, ActiveGo, and ActiveLua. These new languages are in addition to ActiveState’s popular ActivePerl, ActivePython, and ActiveTcl. Join ActiveState CEO Bart Copeland and Director of Engineering Tom Radcliffe on November 17th as they discuss these enterprise needs and how ActiveState’s newest open source enterprise language distributions for Ruby, Node.js, Go, and Lua will help enterprises remain agile, innovative, and secure. *http://www.slideshare.net/blackducksoftware/2015-future-of-open-source-survey-results

OCCIware project and OCCI standard presented at China Cloud Computing Confere...

OCCIware

This short lecturel highlights growing challenges faced by cloud computing users and how an emerging standard such as OCCI, can be part of the solution. Since the launch of Amazon EC2 in august 2006, cloud computing has boomed and been adopted as the dominant model for delivering Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as as Service and, more generally Everything as a Service (XaaS). Provisioning, managing and monitoring these outsourced, used-on-demand, paid-per-use and elastic resources require programmable interfaces for the cloud. A wide variety of different interfaces are available and this diversity energized the cloud computing market. However, behind the hype, cloud computing users are still confronted to major barriers: heterogeneity of cloud computing offerings, interoperability between cloud interfaces, integration to build multi-cloud systems and the portability of applications and cloud computing users activities. These issues have been addressed through libraries, brokering platforms and standards. We highlight the importance of Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI), a recommendation from Open Grid Forum (OGF). OCCI is a simple, open, extensible and self-described interface for managing every kind of resource as a service, not only IaaS. Although OCCI is supported by a large community it still lacks formal specification and associated engineering tools, fortunately an open source collaborative project such as OCCIware is addressing this limitation and everybody can join in.

Disruptive Innovation: how do you use these theories to manage your IT?

mark madsen

The term disruptive innovation was popularized by Harvard professor Clayton Christensen in his 1997 book “The Innovator’s Dilemma.” Nearly 20 years later “Disrupt!” is a popular leadership mantra that is more frequently uttered than experienced. You can't productize it. You can't always control it – at least what effects it has in practice. You aren't necessarily going to like every product of innovation. So are you sure you want it? If so, how do you promote a culture in which innovation can flower – and, potentially, thrive? Because that's probably the best that you can do. Perhaps there's a better framing for innovation than just "disruption.“ This session is an overview of commmoditization and innovation theories followed by basic things you can do to apply that theory to your daily job architecting, choosing and managing a data environment in your company.

On making standards organizations & open source communities work hand in hand

Benjamin Cabé

Did you know that the Eclipse Foundation is home to many open source implementations of standards from a dozen of standards defining organizations: IETF, ISO, oneM2M, OASIS, etc. We do believe that open source is key to standards' adoption, and this presentation shares some thoughts on what makes a standard successful, and how Eclipse has proved with recent success stories that open source and open communities are a key factor.

PERL SURVEY 2016

ActiveState

Earlier this year we sent out an on-line survey to our ActivePerl downloaders. A little over 350 users responded and shared insights into how long they've been using Perl as well as how they are using it. While some results were expected (such as over half of those respondents being in a developer role), one of the more unexpected results that caught our eye was how long people had been using Perl. http://bit.ly/1t4cMki

Python: The Programmer's Lingua Franca

ActiveState

There are thousands of programming languages, but even if your organization works in one of the more popular languages, it's likely you will eventually interact with others who are unfamiliar with it. Since you can't be proficient in every programming language under the sun, a language that bridges technologies and allows people to communicate their ideas is needed. A few programming languages have tried to fill this role over the years, but none holds as much promise as Python.

Python & Finance: US Government Mandates, Financial Modeling, and Other Snake...

ActiveState

Recently, the US SEC published a proposal for how to address the current lack of transparency of asset-backed securities through changing disclosure requirements to include the provision of a Python computer program. The goal is to capture all the complicated terms of the deal in code that can be used to analyze the cash flows in each deal and how the returns will get split up between different parties. Currently, investors, fund managers, and investment managers receive a complex, textual description of this information in the prospectus, which makes it difficult for them to perform or visualize a rigorous quantitative or if-then analysis of the asset-backed securities. This all begs the question “Why Python?” One of the answers is that it’s open source and while there are a number of proprietary financial modeling solutions and more than a few trade description languages in use on Wall Street – there is little use asking for openness and transparency from issuers if the interpreter for that code is proprietary in nature. That said, Python has other aspects that make it a good choice for these purposes and has been widely used on Wall Street and in the finance community for financial modeling and number crunching. At the very least, it’s not enough to have open data, one has to have open tools to fulfill the transparency requirements to establish meaningful use of financial information. Buyers, Sellers and Regulators alike need an open technology means to accurately and efficiently interpret financial information. This presentation will discuss some of the aspects of Python that make it a good fit for the SEC’s proposal and some of the challenges and the implications of using Python for financial analysis. This presentation will also discuss some opportunities for collaboration between regulators and the open source related to the development of an ecosystem of open source projects that can exploit the availability of this proposed new rich source of financial information.

The True Cost of Open Source Software: Uncovering Hidden Costs and Maximizing...

ActiveState

If you have researched open source software, even just a little, you’ve likely encountered two distinct worldviews: believers and skeptics. Believers celebrate open source as free, collaborative code. In this paradigm, open source software isn’t just a free licensing model; it is a movement for building better, more flexible software. But, that’s just one side of the story. Open source skeptics raise compelling counterarguments for why open source software and the enterprise don’t mix. So, where does this leave you, especially if you are tasked with deciding whether or not to implement open source software in your organization? In this paper we’ll delve deep into both arguments and provide practical tools to help you decide whether or not open source software will be a good return on your company’s investment. We’ll also present solutions for bridging the gap between “believers” and “skeptics” in your organization, and for reducing risks that go hand-in-hand with running open source software in the enterprise.

Financial organizations are tightening their belts by sending more work outside company walls. In the last quarter of 2008, the combined value of outsourcing contracts in the finance sector reached a whopping $3.6 billion.1 The lion’s share of those contracts went to IT projects, according to Information Age. Analyst firm IDC predicts that banks will continue to trim IT costs in 2009 by outsourcing more IT.2
