Actions in the Wild: usability and ease-of-use of open source security tools

Cybersecurity

Conference in 🇬🇧

“Eclipse Tractus-X” is the official open-source project in the Catena-X ecosystem supported by the Eclipse Foundation, serves as the official open-source initiative. It has a central landing page on GitHub with all the information the developer community needs to use or contribute to our open-source software and community. With this talk, the attendees of the session would ideally learn something new about the vulnerability analysis, lessons learnt and best practices while implementing such open-source tools based on real scenarios that was experienced during the development of Tractus-X. The criticality and the impact of the vulnerabilities identified will be presented with the respective Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) and Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores and how an automated approach using GitHub actions plays a vital role in continuous monitoring of the presence of vulnerabilities.

Firefighters from France are saving lives with Open Source

Enterprise solutions

Firefighters in the Var and Corse-du-Sud departments have been using the new NexSIS alert and operations management system since the beginning of the year. In charge of the project since 2018, the Agence du Numérique de la Sécurité Civile has for years been keen to use and contribute to open source technical building blocks. Various open source solutions have been implemented in NexSIS for mapping purposes: OpenLayers for mapping interfaces, pgRouting as a route and rounds calculation engine, Addok as a geocoding engine, Baremaps to expose map tiles, and a cloud native version of GeoServer, the famous map server. We’ll be showing how open source solutions have made it possible to take up major technological challenges on a critical security system. We’ll also illustrate the virtuous circle at work in open source projects with the example of Geoserver, which was funded by the NexSIS project.

Code versus produit

Business & Challenges

Conference in 🇬🇧

If all of your code is open source, can you still have a product to sell? In this talk, Emily Omier is going to talk about the difference between code and product — and why it matters for companies trying to build a financially sustainable business while keeping their code open source. Products, even software products, are more than just code. They come with compliance certifications, security guarantees, support SLAs and more. For many customers — even most — the whole package is important, not just the code. Emily will talk about why being aware of the difference between source code and product is critical to both building a product that people are willing to pay for while also keeping source code open source — and why so many companies fail to understand this distinction.

Manage the environmental impact of your digital infrastructures with open source tools

Cloud, infra, IoT

The environmental impact of digital technology has become a major concern in the context of the goals set by the European Union (e.g. reducing carbon emissions by 2030). However, controlling this impact is a challenge firstly when building or managing an IT infrastructure and secondly when open source tools, data and methodologies do not fully come up to expectations. We will present real-life examples of how open source tools already available or under development are being used to monitor and reduce the environmental impact of existing IT infrastructures. We’ll take a closer look at the data needed to achieve these goals and the open data sources that can be used. Finally, the subject of methodologies will be addressed, with a special focus on methodologies that are documented, tested in real-life situations and equipped with open source software.

SOC/VOC open source ? Myth or reality to keep its cyber sovereignty?

Cybersecurity

In a context where cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly critical element of cloud-based information systems, new European regulations will usher in new requirements and the need to rethink cybersecurity. It was with this goal in mind that I decided to rethink the Security Operations Centre of ALE International’s cloud communications solution to bring in new elements to deal with the various emerging and increasingly present threats. Through my expertise and various certifications, I decided to rely exclusively on open source technologies when implementing both the Security Operations Centre and the Vulnerability Operations Centre. My aim in sharing my experience in this presentation is to show how technologies such as Wazuh, OpenVAS and many others have enabled us to retain our cybersecurity sovereignty.

Observability – Dream vs Reality

Cloud, infra, IoT

When we talk about observability, we’re talking about the three pillars: logs, traces and metrics, where the goal is to collect a maximum amount of information which is as accurate as possible. In a world without limits, everything is collected, all the time, with no conservation time limits. Since observability serves all levels of the company, collecting and retaining data is complex and requires large storage capacities. It is therefore very expensive. How can we best manage the diversity, volume and security constraints of this data, while keeping the maximum amount of information to be used when we need it?

Where does your Ansible code come from?

Cybersecurity

Conference in 🇬🇧

Ansible code often gets executed with a very high level of access to ensure it can perform all the necessary actions to complete its task. This high level of access creates the risk of attacks leveraging the automation code as an attack vector. It is possible to use cryptographic signatures to prevent the risk of executing code that has not been properly vetted. In this talk, we will see how it is possible to integrate cryptographical assurances into Ansible, and we will delve into some implementation decisions and suggestions to ensure that the result completely satisfies the requirements.”

An alternate way to Gafam for Europe? About the EC NGI funding and how it empowers the ecosystem

Business & Challenges

Faced with the data capitalism embodied by the American and Chinese Big Tech firms, another sovereign and free path is opening up in Europe: decentralised, interoperable commons based on open source, supported by a “broader social economy” ecosystem including businesses and academics with the support of public funds. This is the aim of the European NGI fund (Next Generation Internet): to support the ecosystem through cascade financing, accessible to small players who are too unstructured to obtain subsidies. A number of NGI award-winners have come here to talk about their use cases, what drives them and what’s at stake: Mastodon, /e/OS, Open Food Facts, CryptPad. OW2 is also involved in NGI, on the funding distribution side – as are other foundations, including NLnet, FSFE and APELL: this role underlines the importance of foundations as relays between the ecosystem and the political sphere. So it’s time to impose an alternative, European-style narrative – and it can be done!

Can humanity afford AI?

AI, Machine Learning, Data

The promises of AI are impressive, but the bill could be even bigger than we imagine! Between the price of GPU chips, the energy consumed by data centres, the renewal of PC fleets based on NPU chips and AI-powered smartphones, the energy and environmental cost could well be staggering, at a time when we need to drastically reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and our consumption of water and mineral resources. How can we save the climate and benefit from AI at the same time? What compromises need to be made, what avenues need to be explored?

Free your intercom!

Cloud, infra, IoT

Can a connected video intercom be released? The town of Échirolles, in the Isère region of France, is one of the most advanced in deploying open source software. Since 2021, business software, infrastructure, servers, client workstations and cybersecurity have been gradually moving towards open source solutions. But the concern to address issues of sovereignty and proper personal data management can sometimes be observed in more unusual projects. Connected objects are often a blind spot in public policies concerning migration to open source software. Their design and operation depend on private, often hyper-specialised, players. They are not easily understood by local authority CIOs. Two little-known open source software packages have recently been released, making the deployment of a sovereign infrastructure for IP intercoms in municipal buildings accessible to all.

Navigating the financing jungle

Business & Challenges

Financing an open source project like Datami, from POC to maintenance, remains a long, uncharted journey that is specific to each project. Datami started out as a public open source project with financing from a range of sources: an ANCT grant in 2021 and the European NGI fund in 2024, but also from services provided to associations or open source contributions since 2019. Depending on the iterations, we continuously reinvent the financing strategies, and try out new, unexplored avenues such as SaaS or other co-financing systems that we adapt to our supporting structure and team. After years of experimenting, we believe that there are still avenues that neither we nor the institutions have yet opened up. One of these avenues is to imagine a form of collective management organisation – a “shared commons fund” – loosely inspired by the system invented by Beaumarchais in the 18th century to provide economic support to the publishing sector.

Virtualisation and responses from the FLOSS ecosystem

Cloud, infra, IoT

In 20 years of free and open source software, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge of open source virtualisation 😉 From the first-generation hypervisor wars to OpenStack and now Kubernetes, things have changed, but not that much as we shall see. In this presentation, we’ll look back at the 3 generations of virtualisation, from hypervisor to container, to better understand their advantages, strengths and weaknesses in light of the tech family to which they belong. Concrete examples of each technology will be used throughout the presentation.

Why and how do you take over the maintenance of open source software as a company?

Business & Challenges

What do you do when the developer of an open source software product you use in your business no longer has the time to maintain it? Arawa, a Nextcloud and BigBlueButton integrator, has decided to take over maintenance of the BBB Connector, a Nextcloud application that enables functional management of a BigBlueButton instance from Nextcloud. The benefits of this approach are obvious: adapting the software to the business needs of its users, taking full account of the user experience thanks to a UX/UI approach. The aim is also to comply with Nextcloud’s rules and principles. Discover the benefits, challenges and responsibilities involved in this first feedback session: how to ensure good governance, improve the software, guarantee its long-term viability and identify sources of funding?

REX Open Source to industrialise Generative AI [TOSIT]

AI, Machine Learning, Data

ChatGPT has dusted off conversational systems and everyone wants new generative AI experiences that leverage customer knowledge bases and internal corporate data. What about data protection? Sovereignty? Hallucinations? The environmental impact? With solutions emerging every week, should you choose one for better and for worse? Can we integrate several LLMs with other classic solutions (decision trees, human relay) to mitigate dependency, hallucinations and adjust when an LLM is called on and when it is not relevant? And here’s the icing on the cake: are there any production-proven, low-code open source integration solutions that can be handled by business profiles? In this session, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa and SNCF will present their feedback after experimenting with open source solutions (Tock, LangChain, Bloom) as well as proprietary solutions (OpenAI), and above all customer use cases now in production.

Sovereign Cloud Stack – An honest review and outlook

Cloud, infra, IoT

Conference in 🇬🇧

“One platform — standardized, built and operated by many” – The vision for the Sovereign Cloud Stack (SCS) project. The SCS project delivers certifiable standards, a modular open-source reference implementation and built a community around _Open Operations_. In the age of growing dependencies on the hyperscalers the SCS project brings the answers to the question on how to maintain sovereignty and independence. Yet, this is only attractive if backed by a competitive technology stack. Built on the shoulders of giants such as OpenStack, Kubernetes and Cluster-API, the community project delivers a turnkey cloud stack. As part of the audience, you’ll learn how the project came to life, how multi-cloud and cloud-repatriation are enabled by SCS and how the public hand benefits from this. Since the SCS project was initially funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action, this is a true Public-Money Public-Code success story we want to share.”

What is the potential of user clubs in open-source software development?

Business & Challenges

Find out how user clubs can help open-source publishers integrate users with business logic in the software development process. User involvement in open-source projects is often limited to contributors who can code. These clubs contribute to the elicitation of needs. They also enable business users to collectively negotiate the content and financing of the roadmap. This approach will be illustrated by the examples of IdealX and Coop It Easy. So what’s the advantage of these user clubs for an open-source software publisher, compared with communities or traditional relational approaches? We will attempt to answer this question using a cost-based approach (mainly transaction costs and ownership costs).
