How to build for and market to developers (sponsored by Yatta)

Frederic Ebelshaeuser (Yatta Solutions GmbH)

The demand for software development has (finally) resulted in increased investments into developer tools. While more and more startups and enterprises have started building tools, distributing and selling them is still painful and difficult.
We share our story of how we started to serve developers by building a UML tool based on the open-source Eclipse IDE. From the enthusiasm of early product development to facing major legal, licensing, marketing and enterprise sales challenges.

Enrique Llerena Dominguez (mimacom Deutschland GmbH)

As Software Engineers, we always hear that we need to improve our "soft" skills to reach higher levels, but when we ask for examples, we get things like "teamwork", "intellectual curiosity" or "communication", which are vague terms.

In this talk, I will show you an engineering approach to non-technical skills with 5 concrete tools. Right after the session, you will be able to:

- Communicate tech debt to non-technical people
- Design and track experiments
- Prioritize your work
- Do better estimations
- Drive technical decisions in your team

Using Oniro Blueprints to create music (Even more embedded music !)

Eilís Ní Fhlannagáin (Huawei Technologies Co., LTD.)

phil coval (Huawei Technologies Co., LTD.)

Oniro is an ambitious Eclipse project, one of its challenges is to defragment existing IoT ecosystems.

In the Eclipse Oniro project, along the distributed OS for consumer electronics, we're proposing a collection of "blueprints" use cases and their implementations using embedded software on reference hardware.

Those minimal viable products are not only used for demonstration or validation purposes, but they can serve as a base to create production-ready solutions.

Software Ethics in a Software World: Where are we?

Boris Baldassari (Eclipse Foundation)

Either as consumers or as producers, we are all confronted with software systems, and/or to their ethical consequences. And this is not just about advanced AI- or weapons- systems: it's our everyday life and, for most of us here at least, job and duty. Although there exists a wide range of material and assets available out there on the subject, it's not always easy to know where and how to do things right, at least for us.

Digital sovereignty: Why open infrastructure matters

Eduard Itrich (OSB Alliance- Bundesverband für digitale Souveränität e.V.)

Felix Kronlage-Dammers (Product Owner @ SCS)

Hardly any other term has been redefined and reframed so frequently in public discussions
in recent years as “digital sovereignty”. Interpretations range from using Open Source Software
down to local franchise agreements with proprietary cloud providers applying the term
as a boilerplate.

Common mistakes done by my customers

Olivier Prouvost (OPCoach)

As an Eclipse Expert for more than 10 years, I have met a lot of customers, in a very large amount of domain, using RCP as the native technology for their development.

Even if they have found tutorials on a specific point or followed a training, they did not always apply the good practices for their projects, and they become technically out of date or unmaintainable.

In this talk, I will summarize the most common mistakes I have seen on my interventions and how we have fixed them.

Evolving your APIs, a pragmatic approach

Nicolas Fränkel (Hazelcast)

When you publish your first HTTP API, you’re more focused on short-term issues than planning for the future. However, chances are you’ll be successful, and you’ll “hit the wall”. How do you evolve your API without breaking the contract with your existing users?

In this talk, I’ll first show you some tips and tricks to achieve that: moving your endpoints, deprecating them, monitoring who’s using them, and letting users know about the new endpoints. The talk is demo-based, and I’ll use the Apache APISIX project for it.
