Like most IT companies, also we at Raiffeisenverband Südtirol noticed, that because of recent trends, the demand of new servers has grown exponentially in the last years. Simultaneously, the number of human resources, responsible for those servers, remained more or less stable. In order to still be able to handle the workload, we needed to automatize and centralize server management as much as possible. That’s where configuration management (CM) kicks in. CM is a very broad term and there are plenty solutions on the marked, Open Source and Enterprise, but the general approach is to make configurations in a central place, and then roll them out to the infrastructure, i.e., to one or more servers. We evaluated a few solutions, and finally decided that wedon’t want to manage all our servers with a single big fat monster, which nobody of us is able to debug if it goes crazy. But reinventing the wheel was not an option, so we decided to make use of a hand full Open Source Software components and integrated them to a CM solution, customized to our needs. The main components are Puppet, Git, Foreman and Pulp.SFScon16 - Stefan Peer: "Config management with Puppet, Git and some Ruby magic"

Elastico (www.elastico.co) is a young training company focused on the organization and implementation of IT and Project Management courses. Our approach is mainly based on three pillars: quality, openness and collaboration and we try to put them in every project and course which we deliver. In this context, we thought to support the traditional face-to-face classes with a web platform which could encourage users participation and engagement and finally we chose OpenEdX. OpenEdX is an open source, Django-based (mostly), extendable learning platform designed by the M.I.T. and the Hardvard University, that companies, institutions or educators can host and offer their own classes through. The platform has been deployed thanks to Abstract (http://abstract-technology.com/), official Open edX service provider, that is supporting Elastico in this innovative path. In this talk we present through the Elastico’s case study the OpenEdX architecture, its features and strong points.SFScon16 - Davide Corio, Alessandro Martellone: “Building a learning communit...

The complexity of agricultural droughts requires a consistent, reliable, and systematic method for monitoring and reporting. Amongst the various indices used to monitor this phenomenon, the soil moisture anomaly has been proven to be a more reliable predictor. However, the datasets required for computing this index are often large and computationally demanding. To address this challenge, we have developed SMODEX, a Python package that enables scalable, fast, and open-source standard-compliant computation and visualization of soil moisture anomalies.
SMODEX simplifies the computation and visualization of time-series for soil moisture and soil moisture anomalies from high-dimensional climate datasets. It allows for quick and easy parallelization of the computation on a daily, weekly, and monthly timescale. Additionally, SMODEX implements a straightforward workflow for automating the use of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles in producing and sharing outputs by leveraging the open source STAC API. The package is extendible and provides information on how to contribute to the project, test suites, test coverage, and a use case for the South Tyrol region, all provided in the package repository. In the future, additional agricultural drought indices and indicators would be included to serve to even larger community of researchers, policy makers, and individual users.SFSCON23 - Rufai Omowunmi Balogun - SMODEX – a Python package for understandi...

Tracking aeroplanes in real time with Open Source Software is possible. Aircrafts must continuously send their current flight parameters to air traffic controllers on the ground and to other aircrafts. This generates a lot of data, especially when planes are being tracked by multiple sensors.
The Open Data Hub on the other hand offers a great backbone for data storing and processing, where the correct datasets have to be identified and filtered. After all transformation on the data is done, it will be exposed via API to be further used by a web application.
Bringing together sensor generated data, the Open Data Hub and custom web applications, is a showcase on how the Open Data Hub can be used as a service: OaaS.SFSCON23 - Martin Rabanser - Real-time aeroplane tracking and the Open Data Hub

The transition from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 has fueled the need for a secure and decentralized cloud storage solution for digital assets. Web 2.0 was characterized by centralized platforms where user data was under the control of companies. In contrast, Web 3.0 aims to empower individuals and foster a decentralized web that supports and benefits the Free Software and Open Data Communities.
Blockchain technologies facilitate seamless collaboration and interoperability among diverse stakeholders in the Free Software and Open Data communities. Developers can establish open and transparent ecosystems where data can be shared, verified, and integrated across multiple platforms.
Beez, with its own blockchain infrastructure, offers a secure and transparent platform for digital asset exchanges, bolstering transaction integrity and trust. By distributing data across a network of nodes, Beez ensures security and mitigates the risk of single points of failure. Users retain control over their data, safeguard their privacy, and can take advantage of the incentive mechanisms offered by blockchain networks.
During our presentation, we will explore the role of AI within Beez's ecosystem, facilitating accelerated data processing, correlation, and intelligent automation. AI unlocks valuable insights from blockchain data, and we will touch upon the use of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) to enhance programming performance.
The integration of Blockchain and AI technologies holds great potential for advancing the safety and efficiency of the Open Data ecosystem. By combining decentralized data storage, trust-building mechanisms, and intelligent data processing, Beez is paving the way for a more secure, transparent, and user-centric digital landscape.SFSCON23 - Marianna d'Atri Enrico Zanardo - How can Blockchain technologies i...

We are becoming more and more dependent on the Internet for our work, education, communication, personal relations and entertainment. Our digital devices conquered an unprecedented level of importance in our life.
However, we are facing a loss of control over our smartphones, tablets and other devices for internet connection. It's time to resolve monopolies and re-establish democratic control over the technology we most depend upon.
This talk will present the challenges end-users are facing to get more control over their devices and how Free Software is key for a consumer re-empowerement.
The talk will present real-life examples of policy demands against gatekeepers on digital markets, such as the struggle for Router Freedom in the last years and how Device Neutrality can serve as an important instrument for pushing forward end-user-oriented digital policies.SFSCON23 - Lucas Lasota - The Future of Connectivity, Open Internet and Human...

MOSH and MOAH are the abbreviation of two groups of chemical compounds found in mineral oils. “MOSH” stands for Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons. MOAH stands for Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons. Both of them are under European deeply evaluation because there are two food contaminants. According to the current state of scientific knowledge, there is no sufficient toxicological evidence to prove a health risk to humans from saturated mineral oil fractions (MOSH). Meanwhile, MOAH are suspected to be carcinogenic (especially PAH-like compounds with 3-7 ring systems), therefore their levels in food should be reduced according to the ALARA-principle (as low as reasonably achievable).

Up-to date measurements of surface meteorological variables are essential to monitor weather conditions, their spatio-temporal variability and the potential effects on a wide range of sectors and applications. Moreover, when included in continuous records of long historical observations spanning several decades, they become essential for assessing long-term climate variability and change locally and on a regional level.
Automated pipelines capable of retrieving and processing near-real time meteorological data satisfy the primary prerequisites towards the development and advancement of effective and operational climate services.
With a public and operational near real-time monitoring web platform in mind, we present automated pipelines to collect and process up-to-date daily temperature and precipitation records for Trentino South Tyrol (Italy) and surrounding areas, and to derive their spatially interpolated fields at sub-km scale. Our pipelines are composed by multiple steps including data download, sanity checks, reconstruction of missing daily records, integration into the historical archive, spatial interpolation and publication onto online FAIR catalogues as (openEO) “datacubes”. The different APIs, data formats and structure across the various data sources, and the need to merge the data onto harmonized meteorological layers, make this a typical case of the so-called Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) pipelines, and, in order to follow the principles of data reproducibility and Open Science, we embraced open-source automated workflow management through GitLab’s Continuous Integration / Continuous Development (CI/CD) capabilities.
CI/CD workflows greatly help the management of the relatively complex graphs of tasks required for our climate application, ensuring seamless orchestration with thorough flow monitoring, application logs, transactions rollbacks, and exception handling in general. Native pipeline-oriented software development also fosters a clean separation of roles among the tasks, and a more modular architecture. This effectively reduces barriers to collaborative development and paves the way for robust operational climate services for researchers and decision makers in the face of the changing climate.SFSCON23 - Elena Maines - Embracing CI/CD workflows for building ETL pipelines

Software freedom can be defined in many ways but in legal terms it is squarely defined by a set of approved FSF and OSI software licenses. Yet everyone realizes that beyond these licenses the goal of software freedom and digital sovereignty cannot be achieved without the ability to master and create hardware components and systems - and beyond that, to rely on open digital infrastructure (servers, datacenters, and resources) . This talk will present the challenges around these topics and what we, collectively in Europe already do and can do to ensure our independence and our freedoms.SFSCON23 - Charles H.

As open source software becomes the foundation to build digital products, to run the backbones of ICT infrastructure and to ensure digital sovereignty and cyber resilience, both the technology as well as the communities that develop it inevitably move into the focus of regulators. The European Union is advancing a number of policy initiatives that regulate liability, cyber security, data handling and AI applications in digital products, among others. This is a challenge for the still quite decentralised and globally operating open source community. How could the open source community participate in legislative processes, and what may be the potential impacts of the upcoming regulation on the open source development process and community dynamics?SFSCON23 - Mirko Boehm - European regulators cast their eyes on maturing OSS ...

How to sharpen the demand for public code across Europe and monitor progress with TEDective
For six years, the Free Software Foundation Europe has been calling with a broad alliance for publicly funded software to be published as Free Software. This initiative has become a great success: Our demand "Public Money? Public Code!" has found its way into government strategy papers, party programs, as well as coalition treaties, and is being discussed in public administrations across Europe.
At the same time, we see less progress than expected and vendor lock ins remain a crucial issue. Digital sovereignty is redefined bypassing Free Software. There is openwashing in publicly funded companies, and government projects in favour of Free Software remain empty words. Public statistics on the procurement of Free Software are largely unavailable.
It is therefore no longer enough to promote the idea of "Public Money? Public Code!". We as the Free Software community should be even more vigilant than before – continuing to praise small steps in the right direction, but pointing out and criticising omissions and lack of implementation. We should become more like watchdogs.
In the talk we will look at some examples of lack of implementation of Free Software policies. We will discuss how we, as civil society, can identify such shortcomings and how to deal with them. We will present our initiative TEDective – a free-software solution that makes European public procurement data explorable for non-experts, aiming to provide you with a powerful tool to keep an eye on real progress towards "Public Money? Public Code!" across Europe.SFSCON23 - Johannes Näder Linus Sehn - Let’s monitor implementation of Free S...

The Internet today forms the backbone of the digitisation of our society and economy. As connectivity increases, the boundaries between the real and digital world get increasingly blurred. However, there has been an erosion of trust in the Internet following revelations about the exploitation of personal data, large-scale cybersecurity and data breaches, and growing awareness of the proliferation and impacts of online disinformation.
What can be done to improve the Internet as a platform for future generations? What initiatives are currently in place to build key technological blocks of an Internet that supports human-centric values, such as privacy, security, and inclusion, while reflecting the values and norms all citizens should enjoy in Europe?
This talk will explore why the current state of the internet must be re-imagined and re-engineered in order to support healthy societies, the existing European Commission initiative to work towards doing so, and the role of Free Software in accomplishing these goals.SFSCON23 - Gabriel Ku Wei Bin - Why Do We Need A Next Generation Internet

With the Interoperable Europe Act, the EU is aiming to create a dedicated legal framework for interoperability and to enhance cross-border digital public services across the European Union. This talk will give an overview of the state of play of this proposed regulation in the ongoing EU legislative process, some of its flaws, and the important role that Free Software and its community can play in it.SFSCON23 - Lina Ceballos - Interoperable Europe Act - A real game changer

How to sharpen the demand for public code across Europe and monitor progress with TEDective
For six years, the Free Software Foundation Europe has been calling with a broad alliance for publicly funded software to be published as Free Software. This initiative has become a great success: Our demand "Public Money? Public Code!" has found its way into government strategy papers, party programs, as well as coalition treaties, and is being discussed in public administrations across Europe.
At the same time, we see less progress than expected and vendor lock ins remain a crucial issue. Digital sovereignty is redefined bypassing Free Software. There is openwashing in publicly funded companies, and government projects in favour of Free Software remain empty words. Public statistics on the procurement of Free Software are largely unavailable.
It is therefore no longer enough to promote the idea of "Public Money? Public Code!". We as the Free Software community should be even more vigilant than before – continuing to praise small steps in the right direction, but pointing out and criticising omissions and lack of implementation. We should become more like watchdogs.
In the talk we will look at some examples of lack of implementation of Free Software policies. We will discuss how we, as civil society, can identify such shortcomings and how to deal with them. We will present our initiative TEDective – a free-software solution that makes European public procurement data explorable for non-experts, aiming to provide you with a powerful tool to keep an eye on real progress towards "Public Money? Public Code!" across Europe.SFSCON23 - Johannes Näder Linus Sehn - Let’s monitor implementation of Free S...

The Internet today forms the backbone of the digitisation of our society and economy. As connectivity increases, the boundaries between the real and digital world get increasingly blurred. However, there has been an erosion of trust in the Internet following revelations about the exploitation of personal data, large-scale cybersecurity and data breaches, and growing awareness of the proliferation and impacts of online disinformation.
What can be done to improve the Internet as a platform for future generations? What initiatives are currently in place to build key technological blocks of an Internet that supports human-centric values, such as privacy, security, and inclusion, while reflecting the values and norms all citizens should enjoy in Europe?
This talk will explore why the current state of the internet must be re-imagined and re-engineered in order to support healthy societies, the existing European Commission initiative to work towards doing so, and the role of Free Software in accomplishing these goals.SFSCON23 - Gabriel Ku Wei Bin - Why Do We Need A Next Generation Internet
