OW2con'17

On May 3rd 2017, Engineering released the new version of SpagoBI, the OW2 flagship project on Business Intelligence. Starting from this version, the project is now branded as Knowage, and is available in two editions:
- the Community Edition, entirely open source, released and down-loadable from the OW2 forge, supported by the open source community
- the Entreprise Edition, fully supported by Engineering under a subscription model

Knowage suite is composed of several modules, each one conceived for a specific analytical domain. They can be used individually as a complete solution for a certain task, or combined with one another to ensure full coverage of users’ requirements, allowing to build a tailored product.

The presentation focus on the Community Edition and provides examples, demos and use cases on the most important functional evolutions of the product:
- the brand new and responsive user interface based on Angular.js
- the extended set of graphical widgets to perform advanced data visualization
- the self-service capabilities to perform data discovery
- the new web-based user interface to define the metadata layer by exploiting the data federation principle
- the possibility to define and import advanced analytic algorithms, written in R or Python, into a shared function catalog

Hammr is an OW2 open source, command-line tool for creating consistent and repeatable machine images for different cloud or virtual environments, or migrating live systems from one environment to another. Designed for cloud-era environments, where agility and automation are key, hammr helps organizations automate the creation of machine images for hybrid environments. This presentation will focus on how hammr can integrate with existing DevOps toolchains, and how it can be used to quickly build and run trusted Docker images with full software governance. Finally, we will present the latest hammr features, including expanded cloud support (Azure Resource Manager and Fujitsu Cloud Service K5), enhanced design of software bundles, and Multi-NIC support, allowing users to support several network interfaces within a VPN or externally.

Il s'agira de présenter les dernières nouveautés et réalisations après avoir fait un rappel des fonctionnalités et potentialités de l'outil. La release officielle de la version 6 aura lieu dans le courant du mois de juin.
