The Open Source Way

How do you test software stability and quality while reusing multiple FLOSS components from diverse sources? How do you ensure all components will behave as expected? The DECODER central database (PKM) stores code-related knowledge: artifacts and bindings between them, obtained by generating formal specifications from informal data (like documentations) or semi-formal models out of source code. DECODER provides general-purpose languages and methods applicable to any application domain, some considering source code as natural language and applying NLP (Natural Language Processing) algorithms to it. Innovative tools are being experimented on several Java/C/C++ use cases such as IoT, AI-based image recognition, enterprise computing, Cloud computing, Big Data and middleware.

Bring AI technology into Edge cloud computing

Yin Ding (Futurewei)

Akraino KubeEdge blueprint project builds real world Edge computing user cases based on KubeEdge. The first case of this project is ML Offloading. With Artificial Intelligence democratized into mobile phones, the computing resource limitation of mobile devices is increasingly a concern. More and more apps running on mobile phones have to offload ML related operations, starting with the public cloud. Offloading to edge is a natural thought for latency and data security considerations.

Open Source Software Governance Model - The Eclipse Way!

Sharon Corbett (Eclipse Foundation Inc.)

In late 2019, the Eclipse Board of Directors approved significant changes to its IP Policy [1]. The most significant change relates to applying a license compatibility compliance review model approach to third party libraries leveraged by Eclipse projects without the need for a deeper dive as is applied to due diligence reviews of Eclipse project code.

It's Easy! Contributing to Open Source in Java

Cesar Hernandez (Tomitribe Corporation)

The problem developers new to open source have is joining the community, starting to contribute, and using common open-source tools. In this session, attendees will learn how to contribute and become valuable a part of any open source community. Attendees will learn soft and hard skills based on two case studies: Eclipse MicroProfile and Apache TomEE projects.

Intelligent package management with FASTEN

Catherine Nuel (OW2)

As recent events, such as the leftpad incident and the Equifax data breach, have demonstrated, dependencies on networks of external libraries can introduce projects to significant operational and compliance risks as well as difficult to assess security implications. FASTEN introduces fine-grained, method-level, tracking of dependencies on top of existing dependency management networks. In our talk, we will present how FASTEN works on top of the Rust/Cargo and Java/Maven ecosystems.

ReachOut: Beta Testing made simple

Alexandre Lefebvre (UShareSoft)

Catherine Nuel (OW2)

ReachOut provides a platform and methodology to help projects create and implement beta-testing campaigns, collect user feedback and thus develop their ecosystem. This presentation gives an overview of the ReachOut project, and presents the Beta-Testing platform.

Making your first contribution to Theia

Anton Kosyakov (TypeFox GmbH)

Eclipse Theia is an IDE framework that runs in the cloud and on the desktop used by products like Gitpod, Google Cloud Shell, ARM Mbed Studio, Arduino Pro IDE, Eclipse Che, and many others.

This year version 1.0 was released after being under development for the last 3 years and receiving commits from over 100 contributors. There were many contributions from different adopters as well as casual contributors. More than 30 became official Theia committers.

How would you like us to list your license?

Carol Smith (Microsoft)

Every participant in the FOSS ecosystem relies on understanding how projects are licensed in order to meet their compliance obligations. Developers who build on FOSS must ensure they are confident about the licenses of the projects they've built on just as much as FOSS projects releasing their own software must ensure they feel confident the code they're releasing is compliant. Lack of clarity or confidence in FOSS projects' licensing builds on itself and makes it difficult for everyone to participate.

Vulnerability data about open-source software should be open too!

Henrik Plate (SAP SE)

Serena Ponta (SAP SE)

Antonino Sabetta (SAP SE)

When running Eclipse Steady internally at SAP, serving thousands of distinct teams and conducting 250k+ scans per month, we spent a substantial amount of time mining source code repositories and curating a knowledge base of so called fix-commits (which are the commits that fix known vulnerabilities). Such information is the fuel of Eclipse Steady and it needs to be continuously harvested.

A harmonized open source platform for effectiveness assessment in the field of automated driving

Tuan Duong Quang (TÜV SÜD)

The rise of advanced driver assistance systems and partially automated driving functions leads to the need of virtual simulation to assess these systems and their effects. This especially refers, but is not limited, to safety effects in traffic. There are various methods and tools for prospective evaluation of safety systems with respect to traffic safety. Implementing the methodology by creating and maintaining the openPASS platform will support reliability and transparency of results obtained by simulation.
