OW2 conference 2021

For the second year, the OW2 conference, is going to be an online open source event. On June 23-24, 2021 the European open source community gathers for two days of presentations and break-out sessions around the main theme “Leveraging the European Open Source Ecosystem“.

OW2con21!

The world needs a vibrant European open source ecosystem. As open source software has become mainstream how do we ensure it creates long-term value for all and enables good jobs and digital sovereignty across societies? The growth and sustainability of the ecosystem depends on the success of its stakeholders: open source projects and developers, open source foundations, systems integrators, software vendors, and users. We all play a part through our technology choices, our best practices, our engagement with other players. We each have a vested interest in the well-being of other stakeholders. OW2con’21 will address the many challenges of ensuring a sustainable European open source ecosystem.

Engineering is proud sponsor of the event and Knowage, the open source suite powered by Engineering, will join the event with two speeches.

On Wednesday 23 at 11:30 AM CEST, “KNOWAGE 8 in Exclusive Preview” will be held by Davide Zerbetto, Knowage Architect. The speech will show the main novelties brought by Knowage 8, such as the new rich pre-built components within cockpits, the expansion of the in-cloud offers and many new functions aiming to further enhance user experience. With this new release, Knowage strengthens its commitment within OW2 community to support companies and public administrations in facing these unprecedented uncertain times thanks to a better capability to visualize data, make forecasts and take data-driven decisions.

On Wednesday 23 at 15:00 PM CEST, “Big Data exploitation: real use cases of Knowage adoption in healthcare and energy market“ will be held by Marco Cortella, Knowage Consultant. This speech will present two use cases that have been managed end-to-end, from data collection to the final use. The first use case illustrates how Knowage adoption helped public health authorities to create a homogeneous system of information and knowledge transfer across all the organization, allowing advanced and multi-dimensional analysis and the evaluation of company performances. The second use case concerns the energy market and energy consumption in buildings: the solution developed with Knowage provides real-time and periodic power consumption feedback, enabling data-driven decisions to save resources and money.

OW2con20 as Online Event

This year, OW2con, the annual conference of the OW2 open source community, is going to be an online event. On June 17-18, OW2online’20, the name of the virtual event, will include one day of online presentations and 1/2 day of break-out sessions. OW2online’20 will offer attendees dozens of presentations and the ability to chat with the speakers.

REGISTER NOW!

There will be an additional face-to-face Community Day in November: besides a high-level program of keynote addresses, roundtables, and the OW2con Best Project Awards, the Community Day will provide ample time for networking and informal discussions.

The central theme of OW2con this year is: “Keep the conversation going!“.

This theme refers to the challenges appearing today for decision makers who consider evolving their information systems with open source software. As open source has become mainstream it is not limited to the operating systems and infrastructure middleware. Open source software across the whole information system is what we call “full stack open source”. What is at stake is more than just deploying Linux servers; it is about defining an architecture, engaging with the whole open source ecosystem and establishing a mature governance system.

OW2 website

Engineering is proud sponsor of the event and Knowage, the open source suite powered by Engineering, will join the event thanks to the speech “Boost dataviz with Python“, presenting the new Knowage R/Python widget that allows to embed R and Python scripts directly within a cockpit filling a gap between datavisualization and datascience. With this widget, datascientists are able to integrate python facilities in a heterogeneous and multi-source environment and to present advanced analytics to a broader audience. The speech is scheduled for Wednesday 17th of June at 11.45 AM CEST.

COVID-19 data visualization and analysis with KNOWAGE

Knowage Labs publicly released three free interactive cockpits to explore COVID-19 data

The 2020 started with a great challenge for Italy and the whole world. The global COVID-19 pandemic heavily challenges our countries in all their sectors, from health to socio-politics and economy.

The open source community is playing a strong role in this emergency contributing both with hardware and softwares to fight COVID-19. As active members of the open source community, Knowage Labs feel the moral obligation to use their expertise on data visualization and data analysis to make open data about COVID-19 as meaningful as possible for everyone.

Therefore, Knowage Labs developed three different cockpits over COVID-29  open data and made them available for everyone on Knowage online demo. These cockpits exploit the wide Knowage capabilities in data visualization, advanced analytics and predictive analyses: Knowage, in fact, is the open source business analytics suite that combines traditional business intelligence capabilities with agile tools that promote the autonomy of end users and advanced features aimed at the emerging segment of data scientists.

The realization of these cockpits has been supported by Engineering Ingegneria Informatica through the contribution of its Excellence Competence Center in Data & Analytics.
