• Free and Open Source Tools for Java Development by Aaron Mulder   - [Clicks: 51]
  Many enterprise development projects spend a significant portion of their budget on tools and server products. From IDEs and modeling tools to content management and rules engines, the costs add up, often pricing key technologies right out of the picture. But it doesn't have to be that way -- free and open source tools are climbing the chain and offering more advanced features than ever. This session introduces numerous open source projects that can give your J2EE project a jump start, and help you build enterprise applications on any budget. We'll take a look at everything from portals and CRM to reporting, testing, and web caches. For each category, we'll cover compelling free or open source projects with code samples, screen shots, and comparisons to commercial packages. See what your project is missing, and save that budget for a classy pizza lunch.

• Open Source Single Sign-On by Erin Mulder   - [Clicks: 25]
  How many passwords do you use on a daily basis? Do you have any written down? Would you give away a password in return for a candy bar? It may sound silly, but based on recent studies, if you would, you're in good company. While many vendors are investigating two-factor authentication, you can cut down on password creep right now, by using single sign-on across servers, workstations, and applications. In this talk, we'll look at how to eliminate password prompts in favor of your existing network login, or at least make multiple applications use the same account and password for authentication.

• The What, Why, and How of Open Sourcing Your Code by Bob McWhirter   - [Clicks: 11]
  In this talk, we will examine the reasons and motivations for releasing proprietary code as open source. Many folks see marketing strategy as the motivation for releasing code, but genuine business models and even altruism can contribute. Determining what code is a good candidate for release goes hand-in-hand with the motivations and strategy. Should you release your core product? Should you release your testing tools? How much or how little should be freed? We will address these questions and then turn to the implementation of an open-sourcing strategy. The implementation presents an entirely new set of challenges from license and community selection, to the preparation and subsequent release of the code. And it does not end there. We will examine some of the best practices and pitfalls involved with releasing your code into the wild.
