Hortonworks contributes to a number of Apache projects. When we started we depended on our many experienced Apache community members to train their fellow Hortonworkers in the Apache Way. However, as we grew we found that training "by osmosis" was no longer sufficient. So we have instituted training for our teams in what Apache is, how it works, their responsibilities as part of Apache and how that meshes with their responsibilities as Hortonworkers, as well as a practical list of best practices and what to avoid. This talk will share some thoughts on the need for this training, give an overview of the content, talk about the results we have seen, and discuss how we are now working to role this out beyond engineering into the rest of the company.
There are no shortage of reasons why an open source project can stagnate. Yet despite confronting many of these challenges, Apache CouchDB has been resilient in the nearly 10 years since becoming an Apache Software Foundation project, to the point where today, its codebase and community are about as strong as they’ve ever been. The constant thread throughout the life of the project has been the consistent support of the ASF and IBM.
Adam Kocoloski, CTO of IBM Watson Data Platform, co-founder of Cloudant and PMC member for CouchDB, shares his perspective on what IBM finds so valuable about the Apache Software Foundation, through the lens of projects like CouchDB, Apache Spark, Apache Edgent and Apache OpenWhisk.
The importance of digital psychometrics – that is the assessment of psychological characteristics via digital footprints – was highlighted recently in the context of Trump’s unexpected victory during the U.S. presidential election. According to international media reports, Trump’s campaign used detailed psychological profiles of 220 million US citizens to target them with more than 175,000 different versions of personalized ads that catered to their values and preferences. In line with the public debate around the effectiveness as well as broader implications of such predictive technologies, this talk focuses on the following three questions: (1) How does digital psychometrics work (2) What are the potential benefits and dangers of digital psychometrics? (3) And finally, what does the future of digital psychometrics hold and how will it affect technology?
Developers are changing the way we live, play and work, and a focal point of their work is using Data Science and Machine Learning on data applications. In this session, you will learn how Application Developers can measily build Machine Learning solutions using Apache Spark, Watson Machine Learning and a collaborative workspace called the 'Data Science Experience.' IBM's Data Science Experience is a new cloud-based, social workspace that helps the data professional collaborate and create digital solutions using application services and open source technologies like Python and Apache Spark.
Join us all day Wednesday for six expert sessions about the Apache Way, the ASF's tried and proven set of behaviors and practices for effective open source project management that encourages long-lived successful projects.
Come learn from core committers and officers at the ASF how we help support the 170+ Apache projects in their successes, as well as how you can get involved either as an individual or a company in the ASF. Learn the best ways to engage with projects, and how to successfully structure a project to come to the Apache Incubator.
This session will introduce the core concepts and inform you on which sessions during the day are the best fit for you or your organization to attend!
Apache RocketMQ is a incubator project of Apache Software foundation since last year. In this presentation, Wang Xiaorui will be present to address the past five years process about RocketMQ firstly. Von Gosling will review the performance of RocketMQ in past 4 years 11.11 festival in china. Next, he will show the core features in RockeMQ 4.0 and the community development, discuss the current state of the RocketMQ, the challenges it faces. in the end, he will address on RocketMQ's future development plan.
Wondering about how to best get involved in Apache projects or bring something new to the ASF? Struggling to understand how things work? Wishing you had a guide through all the mailing lists and online documentation? Figuring out how your business can engage with the projects that matter to it? Looking for just that one place you can turn to, to learn it all? Hunt no more!
Join a number of Apache old-hands for an interesting discussion on how businesses can engage with the ASF and its projects, what the "win" for those companies can be, and the odd (friendly!) tale of how not to do it...
Over the past 10 years, Comcast has become a strong technology and software company creating original work to deliver innovative experiences to customers. Increasingly, open source fuels Comcast’s software stacks, development methodology and support for community. My talk is about our journey to open source and how Apache projects are at the heart of many of our technology innovations.
FlexJS is the name for a next-generation Flex SDK that has the goal of allowing applications developed in MXML and ActionScript to not only run in the Flash/AIR runtimes, but also to run natively in the browser without Flash, on mobile devices as a PhoneGap/Cordova application, and in embedded JS environments such as Chromium Embedded Framework. FlexJS has the potential to allow your MXML and ActionScript code to run in even more places than Flash currently does.
In this session Yishay will give you an introduction into FlexJS and it's concepts to get you started in this exciting tech-stack.
Learn to set up an environment for developing and debugging Apache FlexJS applications in Visual Studio Code. Install the required tools, create a new project, build it, and debug the running application in your web browser.
Are you an Apache Flex developer looking to move to using the FlexJS framework? Are you concerned that when it comes to testing that you will be a world of pain with the many different browsers out there? Concerned that you'll lose one of the benefits of Flex SDK based applications?
In this talk I go through how you can reuse you existing code and testing techniques to test Apache FlexJS applications. We'll also look at what testing you'll need to do now your application runs in a web browser and how to support your application across many different devices with different sized screens and browsers.
Walkthrough of the design and implementation of a platform featuring a deep integration with Apache CloudStack and other open source projects to deliver n-tier, multi-tenant cloud services for service providers and IT shared services teams.
Maven has become the build system of choice for a big part of the FlexJS community. Making it possible to build FlexJS application using a well-established tool-chain.
In this talk I will explain how to setup your first modules using our new Maven archetypes and go though the different aspects of building FlexJS applications with Maven.
I'll finish the session with an outlook on what is to come and what will be possible in the near future.
FlexJS has many of the features of the orginal Flex framework and makes it very efficient to develop applications. However there are lots of differences both in the framework architecture and the underlying technologies. Join us as we go through the process of converting existing applications to FlexJS and discover tried and true methods to migrate existing functionality. We will go through methods and discuss pitfalls. We will discuss real applications which we have already migrated and the specific issues we have dealt with.
As the Flex team is approaching the 1.0 release we'd like to discuss what needs to be done in order to call it a 1.0.
We already have quite a set of unique features built-in, but we know that still some things are missing. Not all are required for a 1.0 and not everything we think is important might also be seen that way by our users.
In this informal discussion round we would like to involve not only the developers currently working on features, but also our users or potential users.
Help us make FlexJS the most productive toolsuite you can think of and will never want to miss again.
