Software development organizations are using open source software at an unprecedented scale to build better software faster. Yet while the adoption of open source races ahead, the establishment of policies to govern its use lag far behind. According to Gartner Group, only a minority of IT organizations have established, open-source governance policies in place, and it predicts that by 2014, 50% of Global 2000 organizations will experience technology, cost and security challenges through lack of open-source governance.
In this Webinar, Greg Olson, Senior Strategy Consultant with Olliance Group, a Black Duck company, will explain:
--The four steps to create an open source policy
--How to obtain ‘buy-in’ and support from key stakeholders
--Best practices for rolling out an open source policy in your organization

An assumption: to develop beautiful products, provide services that enchant our customers, we need to learn how to be happy at work. Where does this assumption comes from? What can we do about it? Let me show you how the marriage between happiness and work is a real story and how make the things happen.
Agile tour bordeaux 1500 développeurs dans mon équipeAlexis Monville
Résumé :
En apprendre plus sur le développement de produit en mode agile au contact d'un grand projet open source !
Description :
J’apprends l’agile depuis déjà longtemps en pratiquant et en partageant les valeurs, principes et pratiques avec des clients et d’autres pratiquants. Et c’est peut-être depuis que j’interviens au contact d’Openstack, un logiciel libre d’infonuagique (ou si je parle en presque français “a cloud open source software”) que j’ai appris le plus.
Ce que j’ai appris ?
J’ai appris que l’on pouvait créer un produit avec une équipe de 1500 développeurs répartis sur tous les continents, que l’on pouvait avoir la certitude de délivrer les nouvelles versions à date fixe tous les 6 mois, que le processus de revue de code apportait beaucoup plus de bénéfices que ce que j’imaginais au départ, que la gestion des branches de développement pouvait être plus simple et plus efficace. J’ai aussi appris que la socialisation, l’accueil des nouveaux arrivants, le maintien du lien était une chose très importante…
En vous invitant à participer à cette session, je souhaite partager ces apprentissages pour que vous puissiez vous en inspirer dans vos organisations.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
