OW2con'22 Online Program

OW2 is 15 years old, and things are moving: OW2's new CEO, Pierre-Yves Gibello, shares this session with Cédric Thomas, the CEO who started OW2 from scratch, to open OW2Con'22. What's next?

Starting a new open source project is the easy part. Building a skilled community to strengthen the project while making it a professionally adopted, industry-grade open source software is much more challenging. It requires a sustainable business model that balances the spirit of open source with economic realities. And what works in the early years of a project doesn’t necessarily work forever: finding the right balance is a never-ending journey. Let’s try and understand what works, what doesn’t.

It is a common strategy to start an open source solution without external contribution and governance. But at one point, your ecosystem will need an open governance in order to invest in the project and contribute. Then, where do you start? Strategic governance, technical governance, road-map, legal compliance, intellectual property and business model are hot topics to address. In this presentation, we will see together how to track the work to be done, and start the opening process to have a clear separation between the company and the open source project.

Portugal is proud to be at the forefront of progress and adoption of the latest technological advantages, but in relation to Open Source, after a late start, it is now starting to create new business opportunities.

ESOP - the Open Source Business Alliance for Portugal, has worked with the business community and the Portuguese Government since its creation in 2007, to create a dynamic market where Open Source technologies are well accepted and compete in equal terms.

In this talk I'll explain some of the opportunities and challenges a newcomer to the Portuguese market might expect.

This talk shows how the Standard for Public Code can help you collaborate with public organizations all across the world.

Digital Sovereignty is a tough subject for the Collaboration software industry, which is heavily dominated by the large US cloud providers Microsoft & Google. This talk will address the importance for Europe to not give up this space, the challenges that lay ahead, the pitfalls we should avoid, the success that do exist, how Open Source matters to allow the industry to work better together to really challenge the status quo.

The EU is on its way to adopting legislation on artificial intelligence. Transparency plays a major role in this. But how exactly should this transparency be designed and what role does Free Software play? The talk will give an insight into the current state of the debate and what chances there are that provisions for Free Software will be included in the legislation.

What is Rocket.Chat? Rocket.Chat is a fully customizable communications platform for organizations with high standards of data protection. It enables real-time conversations between colleagues, with other companies or with your customers, regardless of how they connect with you.

Rocket.Chat has grown beyond team.chat, the chat, you most likely know as: Teams, Slack, Mattermost or similar communication tool, each has channels, threads and discussions. With this growth our team kept closely engaged with our Open Source Community. This community is the motor to grow and prosper together, allowing our engineering team to be on the edge of technology providing the finest integrated solutions together with community’ eyes and hands.

Conversations make us unique. They’re the very thing that makes humans, humans. They’re how we connect, bond, exchange information and work better together.

Unfortunately, the technology that was meant to bring us closer together, managed to set us apart. It focused on the benefit of a select few rather than that of each of us. It limited what we can and cannot do.

You’re allowed to talk. As long as everyone uses the same tool. As long as you’re ok completely waiving your rights to data privacy, security and ownership.
Enough.

These are our conversations. It’s time to make things right. Time to focus on the better good. We’re meant to connect, bond and work together with whoever we need to - on our own terms.

It’s time to own our conversations. Just like it was always meant to be. Rocket.Chat

For about a year Omnichannel has been integrated with all chats, this is the way to communicate with almost every communication medium you can imagine like: Telegram, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, WeChat, SMS, Email, and so on.

Recently Voip and the Matrix protocol were added to this mix allowing power users to seamlessly switch communication between all the contacts directly in their preferred device. Omnichannel is about removing friction for your customers, and allowing business to happen wherever your customer prefers to communicate, it has a Live Chat that can easy integrate in any web based application.

Let every conversation flow - without compromise Own your data, customize anything, integrate everything.

Customizations we call in.app.chat, the playground where lots of apps meet a robust realtime api and the new UIkit allows developers to do all this magic with the best interoperability and security you're already used to.

Some of the magic is summed up here:

• Authentication: LDAP, Saml, oAuth2/OIDC
• Voip and email connection (the old world)
• Matrix WebRTC with federation (new deal technology)
• Robust rest and realtime api that integrate with about anything -- Webhook integrations and bots that allow AI/NLP -- App engine that allows for full integration -- UIKit that allows UI extensions and new type of integrations and interactions -- Interoperability a must have these days -- Security.

Anyone who has worked in software development knows that some parts of code are repetitive and boring to write. It is precisely to avoid this inconvenience that Telosys (OW2 project) was created.

During this talk you'll discover how simple it is to use this code generator and how it can save you a lot of work. Telosys is usable to generate any kind of language (with any framework).

A short demo will show how to generate a Python web application.

KNOWAGE, the enterprise-level suite for analytics and business intelligence available on OW2 Marketplace, is constantly evolving to help end users to look more clearly into their data and support them in the decision making process in an increasingly intuitive way. KNOWAGE evolution in 2022 mainly focuses on: new data preparation module and data federation in self-service process, augmented analytics to support every end-user touch point and provide automatic insights, usability and performance for a new effective UI,  a core offering as SaaS ABI solution.

Lutece Core 7 was released last year by the City of Paris' dev team, offering new features and a cleaner and lighter code. All digital services can now benefit from it and from a larger and larger shelf filled with source code, new business packs packages arise to facilitate their adoption by the growing community and peers.

Since 2001, OCS Inventory has been looking to make hardware and software inventory of computers more efficient. The open-source software includes the package deployment feature, in order not to control, but to ensure uniformity of the software environments present on the network.
