Having Fun with Raspberry(s) and Apache Projects – Jean-Frederic Clere

You can do a lot with a Raspberry and ASF projects.

From a Tiny object connected to Internet to a application running in the cloud.

First Raspberry as a Sensor collecting data and sending it to Casandra.

Second Raspberry as a “server” running HTTPD and mod_python.

Third small cluster of Apache Tomcat with Raspberry PIs, How to use Docker to build a cluster with 2 PIs and use HTTPD mod_proxy to load balance the cluster nodes.

Fourth move the cluster to the cloud…

Next limit is anything you can imagine 😉

Building Inclusive Communities – Jan Lehnardt

Inclusivity is major driver in long-term sustainability, a core tennant of the ASF culture. However, the ASF has traditionally has been lacking behind other organisations to improve on diversity and inclusion.

This talk will look at the status quo of diversity and inclusion at the ASF, where it is doing well, and where it can learn from other communities and organisations to improve.

Depending on the schedule, part of this talk could be a safe-space Q&A for discussing any questions the audience wouldnÛªt dare to ask in other circumstances.

Apache Syncope 2.0 Enduser Console – Andrea Patricelli

Since its birth Apache Syncope developers faced the problem (and the challenge) to have an easy-to-use, intuitive, but complete front-end application to let plain users self-registering, managing own profile, resetting their passwords and other self operations.

Up to Syncope 1.2, some features used to be provided via the admin console, but the need for a more dedicated tool was raising.Therefore Apache Syncope developers, decided to deliver with Apache Syncope 2.0 an easy-to-use, client-side, highly customizable AngularJS Enduser application.

In his work Andrea Patricelli will explain his personal contribution to development of Apache Syncope 2.0, innovative approaches used to develop Enduser, challenges faced while developing and future perspectives opened by this new Apache Syncope module.

Secure by Default Web Application with Apache Sling – Robert Munteanu

A product that works is not done, as there are many facets to consider – availability, scalability, security. Of those, security is probably the most expensive to get wrong.

By analysing a simple web application built on top of Apache Sling and its threat model, we will review the main attack vectors and how they can be mitigated. You will see what the general approaches are and also how Apache Sling allows you to eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities by using secure-by-default components. Although we will use Apache Sling for examples, previous knowledge of Sling or its components is not required.

Building an Extensible, Resumable DSL on Top of Apache Groovy – Jesse Glick

In 2014, a few Jenkins hackers set out to implement a new way of defining continuous delivery pipelines in Jenkins. Dissatisfied with chaining jobs together, configured in the web UI, the effort started with Apache Groovy as the foundation and grew from there. Today the result of that effort, named Jenkins Pipeline, supports a rich DSL with “steps” provided by a Jenkins plugins, built-in auto-generated documentation, and execution resumability which allow Pipelines to continue executing while the master is offline.

In this talk we’ll take a peek behind the scenes of Jenkins Pipeline. Touring the various constraints we started with, whether imposed by Jenkins or Groovy, and discussing which features of Groovy were brought to bear during the implementation. If you’re embedding, extending or are simply interested in the internals of Groovy this talk should have plenty of food for thought
