OpenHarmony's journey to Oniro - One year on
We introduced Openharmony at SFScon 2020. One year has passed and with it much water under the project’s bridge. The project is now officially an Eclipse project, with its own brand. Members and industry partners are joining and the version 1.0 release is behind the corner. This talk provides an update of the vision, objectives, ecosystem, governance model, technology, standards, compliance processes, and all progress made in one intense year of work inside the Oniro project.
The document discusses three initiatives by OW2 to engage mainstream open source software users:
1) Beta-testing campaigns to align developer expectations with user needs and identify exploitation opportunities.
2) Applying "Market Readiness Levels" to provide a simple indicator of a project's maturity to help users make decisions.
3) The "Good Governance Initiative" to help users securely and responsibly use OSS while supporting the open source ecosystem.
A User Driven Design of a Power Architecture Open Hardware Notebook
In 2018 we presented at SFScon the block diagram of the project of our Open Hardware Notebook, after 3 years, in this edition the prototypes are around the corner… We present the Beta tester and Supporters program to produce a first small number of pieces of this notebook useful for GNU/Linux distributions to other OS and for anyone interested in getting their hands on it in preview.
This notebook is designed around GNU/Linux and is a concrete example of a complex Open Hardware electronic design. What’s more is a user driven design that is a plus.
The document discusses open source software, including its history, definitions, common licenses, and popular packages. It provides facts about open source usage, outlines how Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds helped establish open source concepts. The benefits are listed as cost savings, increased users, scalability, longevity, and innovation due to collaboration. Popular licenses mentioned are GPL, LGPL, BSD and Apache. Development tools highlighted are Linux, Android, MySQL, PHP and Python.
The Nautillus Project is an online database that connects people with ideas, inventions, or problems to potential partners interested in developing or solving them. Starting in January 2009, Nautillus provides a virtual space for users to post their projects and find applicants interested in collaborating. The goal is to help realize users' ideas and inventions or solve their problems by facilitating connections between ideators and managers seeking solutions. Users of any age, nationality, or background can access Nautillus to both offer and find potential partnerships for developing their proposals.
This talk discusses the skills needed to be an open source entrepreneur, why it's important, and how it applies to modern product development. Will post accompanying video as soon as it's available.

Open Source Hardware (OSHW)...What About The Tools?ChrisGammell
Open Source Hardware can be designed with both open and closed tools. While closed tools pose risks like vendor lock-in, many successful open hardware projects have been designed with non-open tools. Fully open tools that are gratis, libre, and use open standards provide the greatest benefits like longevity and ability for others to modify and build upon designs. As complexity increases, the availability of capable low-cost or free tools is declining. Improving open tools through sponsorship, standards, and contests can help speed innovation for open hardware.

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).

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
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.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
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.

20. Why not ARM?Why not ARM?
There are many projects using this
architecture already
We think it is established and
mainstream. We like diversity
It is closed and requires a license

Donation CampaignDonation Campaign
●
We start from 11% of what is required thanks to recurring
donations.
●
We will verify the ritm of donations and the volume of recurring
donors before sign the Contract with Acube System to design
the PCB ( Printed Circuit Board)
●
Total for the campaign 24.000 €. Divided into two parts:
●
PCB Project [19.000 euro]
●
Fast SI bus simulations [5.000 euro]
37. What if it goes wrong?What if it goes wrong?
There will be a survey between all donators to decide to
which others association project use the funds.
Donations are free and non refundable (Italian law)

All this process with Acube Systems that will produce in
small quantities our design could be demonstration
effect for many others little organization and company.
●
We hope that the Open Hardware Chassis Design will be
a starting point for others notebook project that need a
chassis to print and produce.
