August Webinar - Water Cooler Talks: A Look into a Developer's Workbench
OpenNTF presents Water Cooler Talks, an irregular new series of webinars to provide a stage for individuals sharing their stories, experiences and best practices with their peers.
This month's topic is all about developers' workbenches. As developers we all have tools and routines we use to develop, collaborate and test our applications. We have experienced lots of issues and made mistakes and have a workflow that does the job, but may not be ideal. Are there better ways to do our jobs? Come learn from your fellow developers in this webinar that looks at the typical toolbox and workflow routines of several OpenNTF Board members and how they develop apps, manage tasks, track bugs, handle versioning and more.
Howard Greenberg develops Notes/Domino/XPages applications for a variety of clients. Come learn how he uses source control in Domino Designer along with SourceTree and BitBucket to collaborate with his clients and maintain a history of all changes.
Jesse Gallagher develops XPages and webapp projects that target Domino. He will present his development environment and discuss using Maven and Jenkins to automate builds and delivery.
Serdar Basegmez utilizes Domino to create RESTful APIs for his clients. He will present his development environment and share some tips on Eclipse configuration, deployment and testing Domino plugins.

Build software like a bag of marbles, not a castle of LEGO®Hannes Lowette
If you have ever played with LEGO®, you will know that adding, removing or changing features of a completed castle isn’t as easy as it seems. You will have to deconstruct large parts to get to where you want to be, to build it all up again afterwards. Unfortunately, our software is often built the same way. Wouldn’t it be better if our software behaved like a bag of marbles? So you can just add, remove or replace them at will?
Most of us have taken different approaches to building software: a big monolith, a collection of services, a bus architecture, etc. But whatever your large scale architecture is, at the granular level (a single service or host), you will probably still end up with tightly couple code. Adding functionality means making changes to every layer, service or component involved. It gets even harder if you want to enable or disable features for certain deployments: you’ll need to wrap code in feature flags, write custom DB migration scripts, etc. There has to be a better way!
So what if you think of functionality as loose feature assemblies? We can construct our code in such a way that adding a feature is as simple as adding the assembly to your deployment, and removing it is done by just deleting the file. We would open the door for so many scenarios!
In this talk, I will explain how to tackle the following parts of your application to achieve this goal: WebAPI, Entity Framework, Onion Architecture, IoC and database migrations. And most of all, when you would want to do this. Because… ‘it depends’.

Triple E class DevOps with Hudson, Maven, Kokki/Multiconf and PyDevWerner Keil
At Maersk Line, not only the world's biggest container ships, the 'Triple-E' class vessels were built. Continuous Integration and Delivery on a similar scale using Hudson, Maven and tools like Kokki (similar to Puppet or Chef, but written in Python) are also practiced there.
This session is going to give a brief overview of Multi-Configuration (Matrix) job types used in most projects at Maersk around the globe.
Things are being built and deployed in a heterogenous environment, otherwise probably found only at very large vendors of Public Cloud services like Google or Amazon. Provisioning of various OS is automated through Vagrant.
Management and Planning of all tasks and 'Sprints' is following Agile principles, especially DevOps style Kanban. Where possible planned and controlled by Eclipse-based tools such as Mylyn Connectors accessing planning tools like TeamConcert, Xplanner or Mantis. While feature projects use Eclipse for Java or Scala/Play!, the DevOps teams use PyDev for Jython/WSTL or Python development.

OPNFV CI and Challenges: How we solved them - if we solved them at all!Fatih Degirmenci
OPNFV is a carrier-grade, integrated, open source platform to accelerate the introduction of new NFV products and services. It aims to build the platform by integrating components from different upstream projects such as OpenStack, OpenDaylight, Open vSwitch, KVM and so on. Apart from integrating different components, OPNFV aims to identify gaps in these components and fixes them directly in upstream. OPNFV sees CI/CD to be a solution to its challenges by providing a foundation for developing, integrating and testing OPNFV faster and more efficient through the release cycles.
How and Why you can and should Participate in Open Source Projects (AMIS, Sof...Lucas Jellema
For a long time I have been reluctant to actively contribute to an open source project. I thought it would be rather complicated and demanding – and that I didn't have the knowledge or skills for it or at the very least that they (the project team) weren't waiting for me.
In December 2021, I decided to have a serious input into the Dapr.io project – and now finally to determine how it works and whether it is really that complicated. In this session I want to tell you about my experiences. How Fork, Clone, Branch, Push (and PR) is the rhythm of contributing to an open source project and how you do that (these are all Git actions against GitHub repositories). How to learn how such a project functions and how to connect to it; which tools are needed, which communication channels are used. I tell how the standards of the project – largely automatically enforced – help me to become a better software engineer, with an eye for readability and testability of the code.
How the review process is quite exciting once you have offered your contribution. And how the final "merge to master" of my contribution and then the actual release (Dapr 1.6 contains my first contribution) are nice milestones.
I hope to motivate participants in this session to also take the step yourself and contribute to an open source project in the form of issues or samples, documentation or code. It's valuable to the community and the specific project and I think it's definitely a valuable experience for the "contributer". I looked up to it and now that I've done it gives me confidence – and it tastes like more (I could still use some help with the work on Dapr.io, by the way).

Automating the consumption of Eclipse for internal usePascal Rapicault
Supporting a large user base implies catering to a lot of different needs.
In Ericsson's case this means building over 20 different eclipse distributions and creating a corporate wide p2 repository to make it easy for our users to get all the plugins they need.
To achieve the necessary customization of each eclipse distro with a high degree of automation, a wide variety of technologies has been used: product files, jenkins, tycho, jbehave, p2 tools, etc.
In this talk, we give an overview of our semi-automated workflow, where each technology fits and give you our tips and tricks.
After a brief recap of what p2 is and depicting the overall vision, the presenter will show how this vision is realized and how the improvements made to both the runtime (core and UI) and the tooling in Galileo pave the way for a better provisioning solution at Eclipse.
In its 3.4 release, Eclipse introduced a new installation / update mechanism called p2. Beyond its Eclipse specific appearance, p2 is a modular provisioning platform for OSGi based systems (currently focused on Equinox) addressing the wide spectrum of provisioning needs from small devices to servers through desktops. In this talk, p2 key concepts and architecture will be introduced, and p2's flexibility will also be demonstrated. As importantly as the actual technology, this talk will also discuss how p2 and the various tools help throughout the software lifecycle from development to serviceability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

feature.xml, etc.)
• It adds the ability to Maven to read p2 repository
7 Transforming Software Development
8. Relationship with p2
• What is p2? An OSGi-based provisioning system for OSGi.
• p2 is present throughout Tycho
• As input, tycho reads and downloads dependencies from p2 repositories.
• As output, tycho produces p2 repositories
• Internally, tycho embeds parts of p2 in order to perform the dependency resolution
Maven + p2 = Tycho :-)
8 Transforming Software Development
9. Relationship with PDE
• What is PDE? Set of eclipse plugins to build Eclipse plugins.
• PDE UI
• Reuses most files promoted by PDE such as MANIFEST.MF, build.properties,
feature.xml, site.xml, .product
• Reuses PDE UI infrastructure like classpath management, launching capabilities, editors
for OSGi manifest, features, for IDE integration
• PDE Build
• "Competes" with PDE build only in the sense that it provides an alternative way to do a
headless build of plugins and other eclipse artifacts
9 Transforming Software Development
11. Closing remarks
• Tycho does not require a lot of Maven background
• Makes building and testing OSGi bundles / Eclipse plugins easy
• Go try it!
