“Weaving a Semantic Web Across OSS Repositories: Unleashing a New Potential for Academia and Practice” published

A new paper of ours was just published. If you’re curious about all that Semantic Web and Linked Data hype and how it would impact forges and other software development tools, and the link with Open Source development platforms, then, read this :

Report on programming languages and techniques in Development session of RMLL/LSM 2010 (1/4)

This is the first of a series of reports about what happened at the recent Libre Software Meeting 2010 (aka Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre) in the “Development” technical track I’ve been co-chairing. Note that we expect to have some recordings of most talks released some day, but it takes time. On the other hand, the slides are almost all accessible on the site.

Repost of “Open Source OSLC-CM implementations in PHP”

Reposting from : Open Source OSLC-CM implementations in PHP posted on Helios project’s blog at SF.net :

Steve Speicher at IBM/Rational has blogged about OSLC reference implementations and test suites.

He’s been kind to link to our implementation, which uses Zend framework in PHP, and will provide an Open Source OSLC-CM V1 server component for the Open Source Mantis bugtracker (and later for FusionForge trackers too).

I hope people can learn how OSLC-CM V1 works, by testing with a Mantis 1.2 installation plus our server add-on, and by looking at our server’s code (and maybe, then decide to use it in production too, of course).
