Building Open Source Communities
0 likes43 views
We talk about community a lot in open source. Communities can make or break any open source project. There are some common traits–universal lessons that can be taken from working with open source communities–that any open source community can benefit from understanding and approaching thoughtfully. So what are common traits amongst successful–and not so successful–communities? How can you begin to apply the lessons others have learned, instead of re-inventing the wheel? Most importantly, how can you help ensure _your_ community is successful?

Kubernetes should scare you in a good way
Kubernetes should scare you in a good waySidhartha Mani Kubernetes has clearly emerged as the mind share leader in the race for container orchestration. Now, what will this new world, which has embraced Kubernetes look like in a few years?
Technologies like this automate and commoditize away whole industries at once. For instance, when the cloud took off - The IT infrastructure procurement, engineering and associated roles disappeared. The flip side was that it was easier to start companies, and go to market by relying on the cloud.
Another fundamental shift happened when the iPhone came about - the non-smart phone market disappeared. The flip side was that a new industry of apps emerged.
As a technical leader, this talk will share my vision of what this new world will look like, how to get there, what role open source will play in this, and how an enterprise of today can prepare for the new world to maximize the benefits from it.

A Creativity Strategy Modelled from Walt Disney – Imagineering
A Creativity Strategy Modelled from Walt Disney – ImagineeringAssociation for Project Management APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network on 25 September 2024.
Speaker: Tim Lyons
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome back to Bristol, Tim Lyons, of APM’s People Interest Network, to talk about creative problem solving using an imagineering approach. This event was held on 25 September 2024.
Tim started with a quote from Albert Einstein: We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Effective problem solving requires a more creative approach.
Robert Dilts, a pioneer in Neuro Linguistic Programming, NLP, recognised how Walt Disney personally approached problem solving. Disney adopted three roles to think about problems from different perspectives. He had the ability to do this on his own, and even had different rooms in his house to focus his thinking on each of the 3 perspectives.
The imagineering approach involves 3 roles, the Dreamer, the Realist, and the Critic.
The Dreamer focusses on the What. What would we like to achieve, using our imagination with no boundaries, what would an ideal solution to a problem look like, what is out vision and purpose.
The Realist focuses on the How. The plan to deliver the ideal solution, the resources needed, time scales, etc.
The Critic focusses on Why (not). What could go wrong, the risks, checks and balances, playing devils advocate. Evaluate the potential issues, compliance to standards and regulations. The critic also identifies and keeps +ve byproducts.
The process always starts with the Dreamer, then the Realist and finally the Critic, and there can be a number of iterations if needed.
There is a 4th role, that of the Integrator, to generate an action plan to solve the problem and to note the side issues / byproducts.
The process can be quick, 2-3 hours of team working. The whole team work on each role together, and ensuring that the roles are kept separate in their minds and there is no leakage!. It is essential in the Dreamer stage that no ideas are dismissed too early.
A big advantage is that the team then owns the resulting solution and action plan and will be motivated to deliver it.

FROM DISTRO TO CUSTOM - HOW WE CREATE GREAT COMMUNITIES FOR EVERY ORGANIZATIO...DrupalCamp Kyiv GoalGorilla build with Open Social one of the biggest Distributions in Drupal. This distribution builds the foundation for over 1000 communities world wide. We build ourselfs some big communities for clients like the UN, Greenpeace, the Dutch Government and others. All of this clients have a very specific profile and very specific needs. All of them are from different sectors: From NGOs, to Goverment organizations, Voluntary platforms, learning platforms and much more. As well all of our clients have at core a community the goals of the community and the key features for them to reach those goals are different every time. As much as we can rely on the distribution to cover the basics and a even more, every client is different and most bigger communities needs customizations to make the step from a good to a great community.
With every new client new challenges arise. With this talk I want to share some of the insights we gathered over the last 3 years, talk about how to navigate the pitfalls of customizing a Distribution and show how we fit different platforms to the specific requirements of different clients.
This talk is for:
- Developers who use or want to use Open Social (We will discuss some modules we use and technical choices, but it will not be primarily a technical talk)
- Professionals working with online communities
- Project managers or Designers that need to conceptualize projects that are based on a Distribution

Integration of Utility Data into 3D BIM Models Using a 3D Solids Modeling Wor...Safe Software Jacobs has developed a 3D utility solids modelling workflow to improve the integration of utility data into 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) environments. This workflow, a collaborative effort between the New Zealand Geospatial Team and the Australian Data Capture Team, employs FME to convert 2D utility data into detailed 3D representations, supporting enhanced spatial analysis and clash detection.
To enable the automation of this process, Jacobs has also developed a survey data standard that standardizes the capture of existing utilities. This standard ensures consistency in data collection, forming the foundation for the subsequent automated validation and modelling steps. The workflow begins with the acquisition of utility survey data, including attributes such as location, depth, diameter, and material of utility assets like pipes and manholes. This data is validated through a custom-built tool that ensures completeness and logical consistency, including checks for proper connectivity between network components. Following validation, the data is processed using an automated modelling tool to generate 3D solids from 2D geometric representations. These solids are then integrated into BIM models to facilitate compatibility with 3D workflows and enable detailed spatial analyses.
The workflow contributes to improved spatial understanding by visualizing the relationships between utilities and other infrastructure elements. The automation of validation and modeling processes ensures consistent and accurate outputs, minimizing errors and increasing workflow efficiency.
This methodology highlights the application of FME in addressing challenges associated with geospatial data transformation and demonstrates its utility in enhancing data integration within BIM frameworks. By enabling accurate 3D representation of utility networks, the workflow supports improved design collaboration and decision-making in complex infrastructure projects

Floods in Valencia: Two FME-Powered Stories of Data Resilience
Floods in Valencia: Two FME-Powered Stories of Data ResilienceSafe Software In October 2024, the Spanish region of Valencia faced severe flooding that underscored the critical need for accessible and actionable data. This presentation will explore two innovative use cases where FME facilitated data integration and availability during the crisis. The first case demonstrates how FME was used to process and convert satellite imagery and other geospatial data into formats tailored for rapid analysis by emergency teams. The second case delves into making human mobility data—collected from mobile phone signals—accessible as source-destination matrices, offering key insights into population movements during and after the flooding. These stories highlight how FME's powerful capabilities can bridge the gap between raw data and decision-making, fostering resilience and preparedness in the face of natural disasters. Attendees will gain practical insights into how FME can support crisis management and urban planning in a changing climate.
