fOSSa 2010 Free Open Source Software Academia Conference Grenoble France.

She has developed softwares (production management, discrete event simulation using PetriNets) used by many companies and universities.

Since 1992 she has worked with the “Communications Software” research group at LAAS on various projects related to systems using high speed multimedia communications networks for cooperative applications.

After a brief overview of the software’s functionning, I will explain why I chose to spead it as a free software and why I need some help in order to make it both free and open source.

Je suis spécialisé dans la sociologie de l’encadrement du secteur public mais j’ai la particularité de beaucoup m’investir dans la réflexion méthodologique et d’avoir conçu plusieurs logiciels scientifiques dont Sonal.”

The objectives of OMM are:
1. To provide FLOSS communities a basis for developing products efficiently and making their products trustworthy for the potential customers, and also for integrating companies.
2. To provide FLOSS integrators a basis for evaluating the processes used by the FLOSS communities.

OMM is interchangeably referred to as model and methodology. It is first a model that contains all the elements that have to be assessed, but it is also a set of rules and guidelines describing how to conduct the assessment process.

OMM has been designed to be compatible with CMMI that is a widely adopted model in the industry.

He has served as member of the program committee of several international conferences and as program chair of OSS 2007 in Limerick (Ireland).

His research areas include open source development, agile methods, software engineering, non-invasive measurement, web services.

He is co-author of the book titled “Agile Technologies in Open Source Development” published by IGI Global in 2009.

All modules are distributed under free software licenses MPL version 1.1+, GPL version 2+ and LGPL version 2.1+.

Charles leads the BonitaSoft product development organization. Charles coordinates with the Bonita community and users to define the product roadmap and is responsible for its execution.

Prior to BonitaSoft, he was head of the Bonita core development team within Bull and has significant experience developing critical application with Business Process Management and Service Oriented Architecture technologies.

Charles holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Polytech de Grenoble (France).

Practically and in the best cases, users retain a copy of version
control data and lose the knowledge capitalization contained in other tools like the artifact trackers (bug tracker, RFE trackers lists). The projects have a life cycle and thus an end.

Again, the concept of archiving is not taken into account in software forges.

To respond to these problems of data lock, Eric Raymond has initiated the development of the tool ForgePlucker.
Under COCLICO project, INRIA has contributed to the development of the tool to allow full export of a project from FusionForge but also proposed a change in this forge for importing data.

I also manage de INRIA Forge services that hosts 2300 projects with 9000 users registrated (near half terabytes of data)

Feedback on the use of NovaForge in a production environment

After many years of software development management, he has been specifically involved in Open Source activities and collaborative projects.

Founding member of the Open Source Objectweb Consortium (now OW2), he managed then the Bull Open Source Competence Center.

Participates currently to the Qualipso European project and coordinates the French Coclico project.

As such he was involved on multiple very large projects deployment projects.

- the MOSST model (Model for Open Source Software Trustworthiness), which addresses the trustworthiness of FLOSS products themselves

- the OP2A  model (Open Product Portal Assessment), which helps developers assess the quality and completeness of the information provided by FLOSS websites and repositories.

After the models are described, possible improvements and a roadmap for future work will be discussed with the audience.

He has been actively involved in the quality area of QualiPSo since the beginning of the project.

Davide Taibi is also the Sales Director
of the Italian Open Source competence center (www.flossitaly.it)

GeoBI initiative is a joint effort of companies, organizations, projects’ communities and individuals set up to:

- improve the coordination work in the Location Intelligence area disseminate BI knowledge in the GIS world and vice-versa promote the integration between BI and Geographical Systems strengthen connections among members and support new business opportunities

- create a research network focused on Location Intelligence turn research results into innovative enterprise-level applications.

all sharing the same principles:
- We want to create new value through GIS and BI integration separation of concerns.
- We focus on the integration of GIS and BI software stacks, keeping them as decoupled as possible; reinventing GIS functionalities into existing BI suites or vice-versa is no-sense constant growth.
- We believe that LI solutions must be able to scale up functionalities and costs incrementally, focusing on the answer to real users’ requirements, avoiding the all-or-nothing option low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership): we believe that only by reducing the TCO, the Location Intelligence can become pervasive.

I’ve just been hired by INRIA to develop a Mozilla-based, multimedia-dedicated, web authoring tool. I’m working in a team that has been very active in the SVG and SMIL working groups and that has developed Amaya a while ago. After three months working here, I came up with two conclusions:

* the full SMIL spec (≠ SVG animations) is completely overkill for web browsers
* the SMIL/Timing module is magic: simple to use and offers a lot of cool features to web pages like timing, media synchronization and user interaction management. I wish this could be part of HTML5!

Here’s a quick overview of SMIL/Timing and how we can use it in web pages. The full story and all the demos are on labs.kompozer.net/timesheets.

Love it or hate it but correct licensing is an important component of every free software and open source project. This is especially true as an increasing number of corporations are adopting and distributing open source applications and code.

This talk will therefore give an overview of the current state of open source licensing, discussing topics such as contributing agreements and copyright agreements such as Joint Copyright Assignments (JCA).

The talk will also discuss about ways of identifying licensing information in code using tools like FOSSology. Finally, ideas for improving the current state of open source licensing are proposed.

In particular, the Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) effort will be present, which is working on a standard to exchange copyright and licensing information about open source software.

While intellectual property issues seem to be well known in scientific publications, we have found that there are  not so much well understood for software produced at research laboratories.

After a first experience on dealing with the software produced  at LIGM (http://igm.univ-mlv.fr/LIGM/) followed by the increasing experience on the PLUME project (http://www.projet-plume.org/), we think that it is necessary to understand better the legal aspects of software production for research.
