The Héphaïstos Conference Proceedings The Héphaïstos Conference Proceedings First International Conference on Open Source Collaborative Development Platforms, Paris France Première conférence Internationale sur le développement collaboratif de logiciels libres, Paris France 16th and 17th of November 2006 XDR Consulting This is the Version 1 of the proceedings. Some papers went AWOL and we are tracking them back :-) And We didn't got yet the time to put in form all the round table notes. But I think that a Version 1 now is better than a Version 2 when the Call For Paper for the Second edition is already out.

  • Evaluation of the CSF Firewall
    Bachelor Thesis in Software Engineering, 15 credits May 2013 Evaluation of the CSF Firewall Ahmad Mudhar Contact Information: Ahmad Mudhar E-mail: [email protected] University advisor: Kari Rönkkö Nina Fogelström School of Computing Internet : www.bth.se/com Blekinge Institute of Technology Phone : +46 455 38 50 00 SE-371 79 Karlskrona Fax : +46 455 38 50 57 Sweden 1 Abstract The subject of web server security is vast, and it is becoming bigger as time passes by. Every year, researches, both private and public, are adding to the number of possible threats to the security of web servers, and coming up with possible solutions to them. A number of these solutions are considered to be expensive, complex, and incredibly time-consuming, while not able to create the perfect web to challenge any breach to the server security. In the study that follows, an attempt will be made to check whether a particular firewall can ensure a strong security measure and deal with some security breaches or severe threat to an existing web server. The research conducted has been done with the CSF Firewall, which provides a suit of scripts that ensure a portal’s security through a number of channels. The experiments conducted under the research provided extremely valuable insights about the application in hand, and the number of ways the CSF Firewall can help in safety of a portal against Secured Shell (SSH) attacks, dedicated to break the security of it, in its initial stages. It further goes to show how simple it is to actually detect the prospective attacks, and subsequently stop the Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, as well as the port scans made to the server, with the intent of breaching the security, by finding out an open port.

In order to implement a Java macro you will need to write 2 classes: • One that representing the allowed parameters, including mandatory parameters, default values, parameter descriptions. An instance of this class will be automatically populated when the user calls the macro in wiki syntax. • Another one that is the macro itself and implements the Macro interface. The XWiki Rendering Architecture can be summarized by the image below: The Parser parses a text input like "xwiki/2.0" syntax or HTML and generates an XDOM object. This object is an Abstract Syntax Tree which represents the input into structured blocks. The Renderer takes an XDOM as input and generates an output like "xwiki/2.0" syntax, XHTML or PDF. The Transformation takes an XDOM as input and generates a modified one.

It also allows for linking its companion wiki, LibraryWikis (http://librarywikis. among any number of pages.

This subject is considered within the frame- collaborative authoring. work of computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). Wikis have been around since the mid­1990s, though it The author identified thirty-three library wikis and is only recently that they have become ubiquitous. In 1995, Ward Cunningham launched the first wiki, WikiWikiWeb developed a classification schema with four categories: (1) (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki), which is still active today, to collaboration among libraries (45.7 percent); (2) collabo- facilitate the exchange of ideas among computer program­ ration among library staff (31.4 percent); (3) collabora- mers (Wikipedia 2007b).

  • Free Software Needs Free Tools
    Free Software Needs Free Tools Benjamin Mako Hill [email protected] June 6, 2010 Over the last decade, free software developers have been repeatedly tempted by devel- opment tools that offer the ability to build free software more efficiently or powerfully. The only cost, we are told, is that the tools themselves are nonfree or run as network services with code we cannot see, copy, or run ourselves. In their decisions to use these tools and services – services such as BitKeeper, SourceForge, Google Code and GitHub – free software developers have made “ends-justify-the-means” decisions that trade away the freedom of both their developer communities and their users. These decisions to embrace nonfree and private development tools undermine our credibility in advocating for soft- ware freedom and compromise our freedom, and that of our users, in ways that we should reject. In 2002, Linus Torvalds announced that the kernel Linux would move to the “Bit- Keeper” distributed version control system (DVCS). While the decision generated much alarm and debate, BitKeeper allowed kernel developers to work in a distributed fashion in a way that, at the time, was unsupported by free software tools – some Linux developers decided that benefits were worth the trade-off in developers’ freedom. Three years later the skeptics were vindicated when BitKeeper’s owner, Larry McVoy, revoked several core kernel developers’ gratis licenses to BitKeeper after Andrew Tridgell attempted to write a free replacement for BitKeeper. Kernel developers were forced to write their own free software replacement: the project now known as Git. Of course, free software’s relationships to nonfree development tools is much larger than BitKeeper.

  • Wikis in Companies
    CONSULTING WIKIS IN COMPANIES Collect, use and expand your knowledge. /WIKI HOW COMPANIES CAN BENEFIT FROM EVERY EMPLOYEE’S KNOWLEDGE WHY DO COMPANIES NEED WIKIS? Your intranet contains lots of information – but just how quickly can your employees find this information? And how quickly can they modify data? How much time do they spend dealing with e-mail messages popping up, and how efficient is their preparation for meetings and projects? How uncomplicated can new employees access important process knowledge? How much know-how at your company is unstructured or even unmapped? “IN 2009, IT IS PREDICTED THAT AT LEAST 50% OF ALL COMPANIES WILL BE UTILIZING Many intranets lack editorial dynamism and “up-to-dateness”. Information can sometimes become outdated extremely quickly, partially because employees – due to lacking aesthetics or complicated administration procedures – do not participate. The daily flood of e-mail WIKIS AS A VITAL INSTRUMENT is also inefficient and is an obstacle for companies: Often enough, information goes missing, or employees are confronted with information that is irrelevant. In addition, information becomes spread about, stored unused in mailboxes and various databanks that may be accessed only FOR COLLABORATION.” by a few employees. This inefficient form of communication and know-how management slows down companies, WILL YOU BE ONE OF THEM? leads to knowledge loss, and wastes resources. This is why companies need wikis. A wiki allows professional, systematic and uncomplicated knowledge management; it also allows Society for Information Management’s Advanced Practices employees to communicate actively and efficiently regarding the topics of the day. With a wiki, the entire know-how of a company can be mapped, actively used, and organically expanded.
