Drupal's Credit System and Evidence-Based Open-Source SustainabilityAll Things Open
Presented by: Matthew Tift & Tim Lehnen
Presented at the All Things Open 2021
Raleigh, NC, USA
Raleigh Convention Center
Abstract: Sustaining open-source projects is the decade's challenge. Understanding how contributions are made—by volunteers, sponsored by an organization, or both—can create incentives for ongoing support.
The Drupal project has measured contributions in Drupal.org issues since 2015 using a credit system that captures contributions—including code, documentation, speaking at events, security review, etc.—from both individuals and organizations. This insight is used to shape incentives in the Drupal ecosystem.
Attendees will learn how Drupal’s contribution credit system works and why we would like to bring it to GitLab and other platforms. We hope that other open-source projects and orgs who want to understand their return on investment in open source can model their approach on this credit system and benefit from the insights we’ll be sharing during this presentation.

This document summarizes an open source best practices presentation for law enforcement personnel. It discusses the community source model for collaborative open source development between agencies. Examples of successful community source projects are provided, such as LEADR for law enforcement data sharing. Best practices that contribute to success include having formal governance, leadership buy-in, releasing code often, and vendor participation. Challenges that can kill a project are loss of leadership, lack of communication, and releases that are too slow. The presentation concludes with a discussion of attracting law enforcement to open source and standards that could enable further collaboration.
This document summarizes the history and impact of Outreachy, an open source internship program. It began in 2006 with an aim to increase participation of women in FOSS. Over time, it expanded its eligibility to include other underrepresented groups. Outreachy has grown significantly, involving over 700 interns across many FOSS communities. Studies show it effectively increases skills, employment, and continued involvement in FOSS for participants.
The document discusses open source trends and their relevance to healthcare. It outlines how perceptions of open source have changed from seeing it as "socialist" to widespread adoption. It describes trends like increasing open source projects and investments, inner sourcing practices within companies, and the growth of "super communities" around industry platforms. Foundations that manage various open source projects are also discussed.
QuESo: a Quality Model for Open Source Software EcosystemsGESSI UPC
This document presents QuESo, a quality model for measuring the quality of open source software ecosystems. It consists of three dimensions: community quality, ecosystem network quality, and platform quality. The authors describe developing the model through a systematic literature review to identify relevant metrics, which were then organized into the quality characteristics and sub-characteristics. Examples of applying the QuESo model for risk analysis and assessing an open source community's health are provided. Future work could involve defining a complete quality assessment process based on the model.
This document provides an overview of visualizing software ecosystems. It begins with an agenda and definitions of ecosystems and industry platforms. Examples of mobile payment, cloud computing, and telematics ecosystems are described. The methodology used to generate ecosystem visualizations is explained, including identifying companies, relationships, and attributes. Semantics are assigned to visualize firms by size, shape and color and relationships by thickness and color. The document concludes with findings on charting your own ecosystem and considering strategic moves.
The document discusses open source software today and how companies are increasingly involved in open source. It notes that open source projects now include over 2 million projects and over 10 million contributors. Companies benefit from open source in areas like research and development costs. The document proposes that companies can have more influence in open source through establishing open source strategy offices, applying inner source practices within companies, and getting involved in open source communities in various ways like attending events, participating in projects, educating others, and evangelizing open source.
Rich Sands, Director of Developer Communities at Black Duck, presented these interesting statistics on open source projects from Ohloh.net at the 2012 Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit.

Showing Management the Light: Explaining the Business Strategy behind Investi...Shane Coughlan
The document discusses the business benefits of investing in open source and free software communities and best practices. It notes that many companies adopted free software without a strategic plan, which is not optimal for return on investment or ecosystem sustainability. The document advocates developing an understanding of how free software creates value and how to effectively engage with relevant communities through strategic investment, compliance, and addressing supply chain challenges. This helps reduce friction while maximizing value, and represents a better long-term strategy than a short-sighted "grab and run" approach.

Slack like a pro: strategies for 10x engineering teamsNacho Cougil
You know Slack, right? It's that tool that some of us have known for the amount of "noise" it generates per second (and that many of us mute as soon as we install it 😅).
But, do you really know it? Do you know how to use it to get the most out of it? Are you sure 🤔? Are you tired of the amount of messages you have to reply to? Are you worried about the hundred conversations you have open? Or are you unaware of changes in projects relevant to your team? Would you like to automate tasks but don't know how to do so?
In this session, I'll try to share how using Slack can help you to be more productive, not only for you but for your colleagues and how that can help you to be much more efficient... and live more relaxed 😉.
If you thought that our work was based (only) on writing code, ... I'm sorry to tell you, but the truth is that it's not 😅. What's more, in the fast-paced world we live in, where so many things change at an accelerated speed, communication is key, and if you use Slack, you should learn to make the most of it.

Enterprise Integration Is Dead! Long Live AI-Driven Integration with Apache C...Markus Eisele
We keep hearing that “integration” is old news, with modern architectures and platforms promising frictionless connectivity. So, is enterprise integration really dead? Not exactly! In this session, we’ll talk about how AI-infused applications and tool-calling agents are redefining the concept of integration, especially when combined with the power of Apache Camel.
We will discuss the the role of enterprise integration in an era where Large Language Models (LLMs) and agent-driven automation can interpret business needs, handle routing, and invoke Camel endpoints with minimal developer intervention. You will see how these AI-enabled systems help weave business data, applications, and services together giving us flexibility and freeing us from hardcoding boilerplate of integration flows.
You’ll walk away with:
An updated perspective on the future of “integration” in a world driven by AI, LLMs, and intelligent agents.
Real-world examples of how tool-calling functionality can transform Camel routes into dynamic, adaptive workflows.
Code examples how to merge AI capabilities with Apache Camel to deliver flexible, event-driven architectures at scale.
Roadmap strategies for integrating LLM-powered agents into your enterprise, orchestrating services that previously demanded complex, rigid solutions.
Join us to see why rumours of integration’s relevancy have been greatly exaggerated—and see first hand how Camel, powered by AI, is quietly reinventing how we connect the enterprise.

13. Abstract
Flash Memory Summit 2015
Santa Clara, CA 13
Abstract: Today, most of the leading edge innovation is taking place in Open Source. This
innovative and collaborative development model is having a dramatic impact on enterprise,
hyperscale and cloud-based applications and solutions.
Most software stacks are optimized for use with hard disk drives or tape, but more and more
enterprises, cloud and hyperscale environments are transitioning off traditional HDD
infrastructures for the increased reliability, performance and TCO benefits that come with
flash-based storage solutions.
Thus the flash technology market needs to embrace the open source community and
contribute to the knowledge-base and capabilities that will make flash more relevant for use
with Open source in the cloud, hyperscale and enterprise data center markets. In this
session, Nithya Ruff will outline how companies can build a culture of open source within
their organizations in order to help vastly expand the number of flash-optimized open source
applications and solutions that customers can use within their enterprise and hyperscale
environments.
