Join us at our next JBUG Scotland event on the 11th of November 2015 where James Rawlings, Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat will discuss Microservices in the main session.

 

Microservices with James Rawlings, Principal Engineer, Red Hat
With the hype and focus on Microservices, James will discuss some of the technical and social challenges we face in adopting them and discuss the effects of the way we work. We will look at how Kubernetes has changed the way we can approach Microservices as well as developing for the Cloud.

 

This session will explore how fabric8 has evolved to provide a platform that supports not only the development of microservices but also working with them, taking an idea from inception right through to running in a live environment with the help of an integrated CD solution.

 

With popular trends such as DevOps, we know that it is more about the culture of an organization that will give you greater agility and chance of success. Being able to communicate effectively with your cross functional teams increases productivity, reduces social conflicts, and establishes the all important feedback loops.

 

We will look at how fabric8 provides out-of-the-box integration for hosted git services in Gogs, as well as agile project management with Taiga and social tools such as Lets Chat and Slack, to enable intelligent, extendable ChatOps automation using Hubot, while providing a platform that is designed for the new age microservices team.

 

About James Rawlings, Principal Engineer, Red Hat
James is a software engineer who works on the fabric8 open source project.  James is focused on enabling teams to be more productive and deliver value faster.

CKAN for Open Data, Clément Mouchet, Sopra

 

Abstract submitted for this Lightning Session (2)

Recent budgetary and regulatory pressure have highlighted Open Data as a potentially efficient way to maximise the value data, encourage re-use and drive innovation.

CKAN (Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network)  is a powerful data management system that makes data accessible – by providing tools to streamline publishing, sharing, finding and using data. It has quickly become the world’s leading open-source data portal platform, adopted by most open governments and public bodies providing an Open Data portal, including the UK Cabinet Office with data.gov.uk.

 

This talk will provide an overview of CKAN’s features: how it has been designed to be extended and how it can be customised to integrate with your existing infrastructure and services to maximise the value of your data, either by using it as an Open Data portal, or internally as an information hub.

Presentations attached from our last JBUG Scotland community event.

Thanks to everyone who attended the last JBUG event on Weds 28th August, and speakers Pete Muir, principal software engineer for Red Hat and Derek Howlett, senior technical architect for Red Hat.

 

This time we only have slides to share from Derek's Introductory session as Pete Muir's 'The JBoss Way' was primarily a technical demo.

Richard Hands from Sopra Group also did a demo on the OptaPlanner tool as a Lightning Session - so no slides from him either

 

We'll hopefully be running another session later this year in November, so watch this space!

We are having to move the planned date for the next JBUG Scotland Event due to speaker diary conflicts.  Please note the next event will not take place on 5th September but we will confirm a new date in the next week.  Thanks
