2 presentations about Helios, Semantic Web, bugs, etc. at RMLL 2009

In the “Development” track of the recent LSM/RMLL 2009, we (Stephane Laurière and me) have presented two related speeches, about the use of Semantic Web technology in the frame of Open Source projects development.

Stéphane presented SWIM : Semantic Web enabled Issue Manager, which presents an integration of Semantic Web techniques in the Mandriva community support site, and on the desktop. It’s based on results of projects Nepomuk, Helios and Scribo.

I have also presented Tracking bugs on the (Semantic) Web, which explores the use of Semantic Web techniques (RDF) as a mean to render bugtrackers interoperable, to be able to track bugs to the scale of the whole Semantic Web. This is also based on the work we do in the frame of the Helios project.

Enjoy the slides attached to the linked pages above.

Excellent presentations on Development at RMLL/LSM 2009

Of course I’m a bit biased because I couldn’t attend other tracks as I was chairing the “Development” track at LSM/RMLL, and because I “selected” the speakers.

I’m really glad to have welcome so many interesting presentations on development questions in libre software projects (or with libre software).

There are much too many interesting bits to mention, and I’m still recovering from the holidays after the conference, but you’ll already find most of the slides attached to the articles (french versions) linked from : http://2009.rmll.info/-Developpement-.html

Some videos will follow sooner or later.

Enjoy !

I’m going to Debconf 9… but before, I’ll go to RMLL/LSM

Yeah, I’m also going to the Debconf9 :

Actually, it will be my very first real Debconf as a contributor to Debian, even if I was around at the Debconf 0 and 1 in Bordeaux, which were held during the early editions of the RMLL/LSM.

And I’ll start the July conferences with the LSM/RMLL where I’ll chair a track on development (where Debian will be discussed, btw).

See you in Nantes and in Caceres, to discuss Helios, bts-link, UDD, bugtracking on the Semantic Web, forges, and other interesting matters.

Mise en ligne des premiers descriptifs des interventions du thème “développement” des RMLL

Je coordonne à nouveau le thème développement des RMLL.

J’ai mis en ligne une version préliminaire de presque toutes les interventions prévues dans le thème.

Au programme (en vrac) :
* Test d’applications Web
* Relations entre Ubuntu et Debian
* Réalisation d’adaptations d’OpenOffice.org
* Project-Builder.org : le packaging de projets Open Source
* processus de release et de développement d’ubuntu.
* Migration à Git du projet GNOME
* Méthodes de vote : comment consulter les développeurs d’un projet sans fausser le résultat avant de poser la question
* FusionForge : d’où nous venons, où nous allons, qui nous sommes, et pourquoi sommes-nous là
* Enjeux et recommendations pour la contributions d’étudiants en informatique dans les projets libres
* Développement Open Source : un retour des tranchées
* Contribution à OpenOffice.org de projets d’étudiants
* Comment simplifier le développement d’un logiciel grace aux langages de haut niveau
* Comment les outils et l’esprit Open Source permettent de faire de meilleurs projets
* “Mon petit projet libre … ne connaît pas la crise”

J’espère que ça donnera l’envie à certains de venir aux RMLL, à Nantes, du 7 au 11 juillet 2009, et pourquoi pas d’assister à ces présentations.

Le reste du programme est en train d’être mis en ligne, alors n’hésitez pas à recharger les pages souvent 😉

Chairing the Development track at next LSM/RMLL conference (july 2009)

Hi.

I’ll be chairing the “development” track at the forecoming (10th edition) LSM/RMLL which will happen in July in Nantes (France).

I expect contributions about FLOSS development, so will soon push a formal call for contributions/communications, but here’s already the description of the track contents : Call for Communication concerning the “Development” topic of the 10th Libre Software Meeting (Nantes, France, july 2009) .

If you feel interested in co-chairing, I’d be glad to know 😉
