In the JavaScript ecosystem, it's part of the culture to enthusiastically re-use existing packages made by others as part of one's own work, rather than reinventing the wheel. This means that, on average, an npm package has several production dependencies, as well as several build/test (dev-)dependencies. For a big application or a framework this can result in pulling a big number of direct dependencies, which in turn have their own dependencies, and so on, forming an unexpectedly deep and wide dependency tree, that someone has to manage (FOSS Compliance, security flaw management, ...)

The Eclipse Foundation is changing the intellectual property due diligence process to adopt evolving standards and better leverage tools and automation to increase our overall quality while reducing the burden on committers.
We’ll use this session to provide a survey of the various standards and tools (SPDX, REUSE, OpenChain, ClearlyDefined, CHAOSS, ORT, ...) that are evolving in the open source community, and talk about moves that the Eclipse Foundation is planning to leverage them to automate and completely modernize our intellectual property due diligence practices.

At last years EclipseCon Martin gave an introduction into the overall topic of sustainability in the context of software engineering. This talk dives deeper into one of the aspects: carbon offsetting. It is a widely used technique to deal with existing carbon emissions if they cannot be avoided upfront. And while this is generally seen as a good action towards making a positive impact to protect the climate, the devil is in the details.

Unicode is the defacto standard for text interchange on computer systems in the modern era, with enough codepoints to encompas many different character sets, heirogylpyhs, and emoji.
We'll take a walk through history of how the first coding systems for computers were used, how they evolved through ASCII, alternative encodings such as EBCDIC, and finally how we arrived at Unicode as a standard set.
At the end of the presentation, you will probably have a greater appreciation of how text is stored in computers and leave with a 😄.

As much as we have embraced test automation, there are still too many manual processes required in daily test activities, such as analyzing test failures to match with known issues and maintaining third-party application test code. At the Eclipse AQAvit and Eclipse OpenJ9 projects, we target some of these manual processes as opportunities to apply various technologies and collaborate with Outreachy interns to see if we could improve our daily workflow.

In the last few years, we have seen a rise in the demand for artificial intelligence, and specifically machine learning. For some people, getting to know this paradigm represents a double challenge: get familiar with the machine learning theory plus learn a new programming language, but if you already know java and want to break into machine learning, Deeplearning4j is for you!
