NLnet Labs

Why we need open source and open standards and what is NLnet Labs contributing?

Olaf Kolkman



Presentation in English
Room:

-

The Internet's strength is that it allows people to connect and communicate with all others on the Internet without, in theory, the need for special provisions elsewhere than at the end-nodes. This allows people to publish, provide services, to purchase, read, and consume in a global and truly free manner. In our view the success of the Internet is coupled to the success of open source and open standards development. The TCP/IP stack, web browsers, scripting languages, popular databases, core infrastructure, popular operating systems have all been at the foundation of the net's success and the net has been a driver for the proliferation of all these tools. NLnet Labs is a research and development group that focuses on those developments in Internet technology where bridges between theory and practical deployment need to be built; areas where engineering and standardization takes place.Read more

Serval

Communicate Anywhere, Anytime

Paul Gardner-Stephen



Presentation in English
Room:

10:30 - 11:15

The Serval Project consists of two systems.

The first is a temporary, self-organising, self-powered mobile network for disaster areas, formed with small phone towers dropped in by air.

The second is a permanent system for remote areas that requires no infrastructure and creates a mesh-based phone network between Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones, and eventually specially designed mobile phones that can operate on other unlicensed frequencies, called Batphone. The two systems can also be combined.Read more

Scratch

Verbeeld, maak en deel!

Joek van Montfort



Presentation in English
Room:

-

Scratch is gratis software die ontwikkeld is om te leren hoe computers werken. De speelse presentatie, alsof je met lego aan het bouwen bent, maakt het toegankelijk voor iedereen die kan lezen. Het toepassingsgebied is enorm breed, bijvoorbeeld animatie, rekenen, verhalen, games, simulatie en muziek. Ondanks die breedte kan op de meeste terreinen ook heel diep worden gegaan. Zo is een klassiek spelletje als Pong snel gebouwd, maar zijn er ook Scratchers die er eer in scheppen om een complexere game als Portal na te bouwen.Read more

collaboration and learning

for educators by educators

Jaeques Koeman



Presentation in Engels

Collaborating institutions within higher education have created a number of so-called community source projects over the past decade to develop software that supports teaching, administration and technical infrastructures. Sakai is the proof that this type of collaboration among institutions really works. It has created industry standard LMS software and it is backed by a vibrant international community of teachers, pedagogists, software engineers and their management. Both community source and open source products are nowadays seen as a viable path for future development of technology within Higher Education. An important challenge for the future lies in creating a healthy and sustainable mix of governance, resources and product development for those products.Read more

101companies

free, structured, online knowledge resource including an open-source repository for different stakeholders with interests in software technologies, software languages, and technological spaces;

Ralf Lämmel



Presentation in English
Room:

The 101companies community project aims at aggregating and organizing knowledge about software technologies, software languages, and software concepts. The project is getting somewhere in that "interesting" source code is added to the 101repo continuously and "relevant" technologies, languages, and concepts are added continuously to the 101wiki for the last two years or so. However, the 101companies project faces huge challenges. For instance, the 101companies implementations are of quite different quality and it is not even known what their quality is. Also, the documentation of the implementations is often weak. Further, the actual document structure for wiki pages varies beyond repair which is a consequence of several factors: lack of tool support for checking pages, lack of (complete) agreement on a documentation model, and inconsistency due to the evolving (partial) agreement. Moreover, the process or workflow of becoming a contributor and maintaining contributions is opaque or miserable. Community features are also missing very much: anyone should easily be able to discuss 101companies implementations and content. Finally, 101companies looks odd without integration with major resources such as Wikipedia and StackOverflow. It is very insightful to articulate these issues and discuss solutions.Read more
