The Open Source Way

So you want to increase you control over your software platform? Introduction to distributions/platform supply chains.

Agustin Benito Bethencourt (Eclipse Foundation employee)

Linux is everywhere thanks also to Linux based distributions. Many of them are fully Open Source and represent a key part of complex products supply chains. Still, many organizations and upstream developers struggle to understand how supply chains (at product level) work in the operating system/distributions space, especially the stages that takes place entirely or partly in the open and how they relate with what happens behind the firewall, especially at product and business level.

Superman or Ironman - can everyone be a 10x developer?

Steve Poole (Employed)

It’s all about productivity or maybe it’s all about delivering value. Or creating secure applications, dealing with changing directions.

Whatever it it we often feel that we’re lacking - that it’s hard enough to be any sort of developer. That even 1x is often a challenge

In this talk we’re going to examine how to think more clearly about being a Java developer:, help you understand the tools and approaches that can offer practical insight into how you work now as well as providing guidance on alternatives that just might give you the powered armour you need.

The fifth Open Paradigm: Open Operations

Felix Kronlage-Dammers (Product Owner @ SCS)

Open Infrastructure technology has become increasingly mature.
Nevertheless, high quality management and operations of open platforms
continues to require DevOps teams with significant skills. The
Sovereign Cloud Stack project has been created with the goal to significantly
lower the bar and with the concept of collaboration over competition
first results have been achieved on the conceptual as well as technical
side of things.

Running Open Cloud-Native Java at Light Speed with Open Liberty

Jamie Coleman (IBM)

Gone are the days when developers held no power! This means companies now need to focus more on what developers want out of a product. In comes Open Liberty, an Open-Source Java runtime that is built for developers. It was first created (open-sourced) around 4 years ago and has been optimised for the cloud-native world providing some of the best performance stats in the industry. In this session I will talk about the benefits of using this Open-Source runtime and demonstrate how easy it is to get started in any environment.

Starting an OSS Project at the Eclipse Foundation

Maria Teresa Delgado (Eclipse Foundation Europe GmbH)

Wayne Beaton (Eclipse Foundation)

Together we'll discover the magic behind the Eclipse Development Process before and during the project creation stage.

In this session we'll go over the steps needed to create your Open Source Software Project at the Eclipse Foundation. We'll also review what extra actions are needed if you're planning to create a Specification Project.

At the end of this session you'll have learned how you can create an OSS project at the EF and how the Eclipse Management Organization (EMO) is able to assist you during this process.

A sustainable quick app for your town (in minutes)

Martin Alvarez-Espinar

Every town has its singularities, and all of them are usually proud of their culture and history. Some of them might be famous for their cultural heritage, others for their parks or museums, but all have a fascinating history behind them. Small communities with few (IT) resources don’t have the possibility of showcasing these particularities to visitors, so most of this knowledge remains hidden.

Docs-as-code using AsciiDoc & Antora for open standardization

Christian Gödert (ASAM e. V.)

For the past three years the standardization organization ASAM e.V. has been working on a docs-as-code approach for the continued development of its open standards. This approach is built from the ground up to support modern collaborative workflows with open source solutions like Gitlab, AsciiDoc and, lately, Antora at its core. This presentation will provide some insight into the motivation behind the transition from classical approaches used in standardisation, the workflow we have setup, the challenges we encountered along the way and where we want to continue evolving the toolchain.

A Java OOS journey - from 0 to Adoptium contributor

Merlin Bögershausen (Employed Software Engineer)

One year ago, a bug fix was my first dip in the pond of Open Source contribution. From there, I've started my adventure as a nomad within the Apache Open Source world. I've participated in the graph database Apache Jena, prototyped a high available documentation approach for Adoptium with AsciDoctor and added bug fixes to their API-backend.

Growing the Open Source Community, the Open Source way

Nikita Koselev (Mastercard)

Intro:

The world is dying.

Well, I might be overly pessimistic, but the number of challenges is great and the number of efficient contributors to software solutions is not high enough. It has never been.

We need developers to help save water and energy, and prolong the lives of both humans and animals. The list of challenges is too long to list all of them here.
