A Preview of OW2 Next-Gen Quality Programme, Stéphane Laurière, OW2

Software is eating the world and open source licenses are eating software. This leads to the presence of OSS in nearly all the electronic systems we interact with daily, such as communication devices, cars, trains, healthcare systems, entertainment environments. This entails that the quality of the OSS components we use and produce is getting progressively as important as the quality of the air we breathe. One of the OW2 key missions is to continously design and implement a roadmap for enabling quality and trustworhy open source software, through a dedicated platform named SQuAT. This talk will present the status and the future of this platform, its underlying models and tools, and how you can use it for assessing and improving the quality of your project.

Benchmarking Orange Forge with CLIF, Bruno Dillenseger, Orange

At the middle of this year, Orange switched its internal software forge (so-called Orange Forge) to a completely new hardware infrastructure and a new version of the Tuleap forge software. With more than 1000 connected users daily, among 16000 registered users worldwide, working on more than 5000 active projects, this switch was definitely a critical operation.
Could this new brand new Orange Forge platform cope with such a traffic? If so, what about users' quality of experience? This is what we tried to know using OW2's load testing project CLIF. Feedback says it was a good idea to do so.

Multimedia document processing using the WebLab platform: AXES project use cases, Yann Mombrun, Airbus Defence and Space

AXES (http://axes-project.eu) was a project co-funded by the European Union’s Seventh Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration. The goal of AXES was to develop tools that provide various types of users with new engaging ways to interact with audiovisual libraries, helping them to discover, browse, search and enrich video archives.

The OW2 WebLab (http://weblab-project.org) integration platform for multimedia processing has been used to aggregate the services developed by 9 partners in order to build the three demonstrators targeting various user groups: the media professionals, the journalists and researchers as well as the home users.

As a result of the AXES project, OW2 "Open AXES", is born. It provides a complete solution that gathers innovative audiovisual content analysis technologies (shot and keyframes detection, image classification, speech transcription, large scale indexing, similarity search, etc.) as well as an ergonomic interface to retrieve and navigate in video archives.

DocDokuPLM : Using web technologies in a desktop application, Morgan Guimard, Docdoku

The DocdokuPLM is an open-source platform allowing its users to manage their product's lifecycle, from design to maintenance. The main application is built upon RequireJS and BackboneJS librairies for the front-end, and JEE for back-end. The GUI is quite complete, and may won't fit for all users involved in the process. This is especially the case for CAD designers who just need to commit their changes without having such a rich graphic interface. To answer this need, we developped a desktop application, interfacing our server with the CAD designer's file system : the DPLM.

First, we developped a command line interface, which is very lightweight and really great for advanced users. However providing a GUI which could interface with the CLI and allow the user to manage multiple files upload at once was more than needed.

Providing a consistent user experience across different platforms has been one of our challenges in the context of our application. The choice of a web framework was then a natural choice. But how could we get it run within a desktop application ? Node-Webkit brought us the ability to interact directly with the user's file system and embed the app in a webview, letting us the choice to use any web framework we wanted to use.

Industrializing the Creation of Machine Images and Docker Containers for Cloud Environments, Joris  Bremond , UShareSoft 

Hammr is an OW2 open source, command-line tool for creating consistent and repeatable machine images for different cloud or virtual environments, or migrating live systems from one environment to another. Agility and automation are key factors in today’s cloud era. It has never been easier to provision new instances on-demand with a few command lines. However, the actual machine images used to provision these instances, are typically still created and maintained by hand. Hammr helps organizations automate the creation of these images. This presentation will provide an overview of the hammr project, including a focus on Docker integration and how hammr can be used to quickly build and run Docker images, helping accelerate development and test processes among other benefits. The presentation will also help attendees understand how they can become involved in, and benefit from, the hammr project.

Big Data with SpagoBI, Stefano Scamuzzo, SpagoBI Labs by Engineering Group

Over the last years, the BI market and panorama have heavily changed as a result of two main phenomena: on the one hand, the shift from IT-led, centralized deployments towards agile business driven initiatives; on the other hand, the advent of Big Data technologies opening the doors to brand new analytic scenarios.
SpagoBI, thanks to its open and innovative approach and its continued collaboration with open source communities, has anticipated these market shifts by progressively adapting its architecture and features to support self-service user-driven BI and to leverage Big Data technologies and approaches.

The speech will describe real life use cases of the following Big Data features provided by SpagoBI suite:
- full integration with SparkSQL, allowing you to query structured data as distributed datasets (RDD) as well as Apache Hive tables or unstructured data like parquet or JSON files;
- integration with SparkR - the R package allowing you to deal with Spark functions inside the R code;
- integration of H2O package, allowing you to execute parallel data mining and machine learning algorithms on data stored in Hadoop;
- network analysis, a data visualization feature allowing you to graphically represent different entities and their relations in an effective way.
