 okay so the pitch your project or the pitch your designer input session starts now if you have an open source project that you need or would like some design input to so if you're looking for logo design visual design interface design usability testing understanding what your users think of your software understanding what your users need from your software then you can come up and give a brief introduction of what the project is what you're looking for and if you're not really sure what you're looking for we can kind of discuss it and maybe there'll be somebody in the room that can put their hand and say yes I know about that I want to help if not we can post that on the jobs board on the open source design jobs board which is free don't worry there's no charge or anything that will be then publicized to designers it will go on Twitter and other places like that and then what happens is people get involved and say yes I'd like to help with this and then you go off and you make things happen if you're a designer a user a user-centered designer you can say okay hi I'm Bernard I'm a user-centered designer I know about user research and interaction design I'm interested in security and privacy projects I'm happy to work on this this this if you're a project in the audience and you say we need some of that you can put your hand up and then we get together and work out what it is we can do does that sound straightforward enough yeah you certainly can if it'll fit in about two-ish minutes or if you yes indeed indeed okay two excellent maybe three even better four wow any advances on four okay so yeah I mean we'll we'll go for kind of four five minutes we've got we've got until about five to seven when we have to vacate the room so if you want to get your yes you fath around that's what I don't know okay yeah yeah yeah sure yeah yeah you can use mine yes let's see if it works if it's a web thing you can use my laptop yeah I do have it on the web as well if you want to put that on your is it working I'm not seeing anything this is okay I'm looking at is it no working either okay boss maybe while we're doing this someone else could already pitch yes does anybody have you need a computer you don't there we go okay so if you're in the start if you give this gentleman the microphone yeah before for the recording so let's start the chrono so I speak in the face of this piece okay oh yes okay hello my name is Boris it's my first time in English in public so I'm sorry I just learned it as cool in France so in France we don't speak really well English sorry I work in an electric company in France which is a TSO so it's a transmission system operator so it's power lines and substation and we work with the Linux Foundation on a project it's a social welfare project in order to increase the way we digitalize the network so it's about energy transition and I'm responsible of the project the name of the project is operator fabric what it is about simple it's a GUI and you have here a feed of cards and here you have the detail when you click on the card it's like what's up but here it's or Google I don't remember the Google solution but it's little cards and you have warnings and when you click on it you're responsible for the energy so you have to do something for example cut the electricity it's a stupid example but for example cut the electricity and then you click and then you switch off the electricity it can be more complex but it's about the workflow of cards you're responsible for this card so okay I do that and then I send to another one today how it works it's phone calls between operators the objective is to make this kind of a GUI and we didn't design it so it's only my own feelings about it so I would like to have maybe a UX designer someone can help to design this kind of things correctly what was it clear I will ask the staff if it's possible to make a lightning a lightning speech I won't be the speaker in 2020 about that and it's more about electricity and open source because we have a lot of things we we are open sourcing a lot of R&D in my company 30 years of R&D so we are open sourcing slowly things after things so it's about calculation on the network seems like that yes GIS maintenance you know predictive maintenance AI because when I speak about the operator clicking on cards it can be an AI too so things like that I know it's it's here as a project we're speaking about five and ten years of project yes so my project is maybe 200,000 lines of code Java but we have millions of lines about energy and we're speaking we hire we developers yes yes it can help climate change what I was speaking about the cards it was about operators operators on the grid but if you think about the future 100% of renewable energy we work on calculation models that helps to get off gas gas production etc so we have only renewable energy so it's what we call in France intermittent it exists it's here not here etc so we have batteries and we operate batteries all around the network at a European scale so yes it's climate changing thing I can give you my email and there is a website which is LF energy.org LF energy.org which is a Linux foundation project but we don't have designed by Linux Foundation we we have to work on ourselves we are looking for building a community so that's my call to one who comes we hire engineer we hire designer we hire oh yeah so we have it's in French but I can translate it with depo.com it's easy okay okay great I will tonight okay maybe Linux Foundation will contact this one okay okay I will give them the message thank you for your I really like yes thank you so my name is Casper and my project is kidspace.org and you can already see on this presentation that I've failed on some design aspects here but the font has gone a bit wrong it works on my computer so I never checked it anyway and so I'm an electronic engineer and I'm a software developer but this project is about electronics and about soldering electronics and obviously for electronics you have a PCB and you have the parts that go on it and then through care for application of heat you put them on the board you have through whole parts you have surface mount parts where the legs of the components don't stick through the board yeah you can when you do when you do surface mount you often do reflow soldering you can do this at home using a hacked kind of toaster oven and you can learn a lot about this at your local hack space if you're interested in doing this and people do the way you design electronics is through CAD software where you have on one side you define in a schematic entry where you define the connections between your components and then you go to a physical model of the board and you connect them up as you specified before so people do this and they share it freely like on GitHub the amounts that and on other places the the kind of the base of open-source hardware electronics is growing and growing I kind of do this informal information gathering every year and I don't it went down for GitHub earlier this just at the end of last year I think that's something to do with the indexing and not anything to do with the Microsoft sale I don't think there was a massive exodus so electronics people are very good at doing very smart things but often they're not the best at presenting that what they've done to others they can do some amazing spaghetti circuitry and this is the same thing on the web there's all these different kinds of ways of sharing electronics projects and when you come across an up-to-date project it's really hard to go okay these are the parts I need and these are the if I want to remake it so the idea is to do get all these different ways of doing things and just get the bits that you need which is the board and the electronic components so what I've been working on for I don't know how many years is kidspace.org and before even that one click bomb which is a bill of materials browser extension that automates real retailer sites so it goes to the electronic components retailer sites and through the browser extension it does what you would do if you click around and click around and buy this component that component that component and just automates that bit and puts everything that you need into your shopping cart so that's the gif of that I don't know if we have time to watch the whole gif so it just goes to dig a key here and it's put these components in the shopping cart it's maybe not so impressive for three components but if you have the hundreds two hundred three hundred components that's really really useful so that's available for different browsers and it goes basically you can cut your paste from it from a spreadsheet and or you can go online somewhere in it you can load it from my from my website and do that so the other part is obviously the board up on the top there so this is what kidspace.org is for it's like a repository of combining these bills of materials with the board files so that you can put up your project and showcase it and other people can other people can come across it and easily replicate it so that's what the kidspace page looks like you have it's also based on on actually a get repository and then it just grabs the files that it needs from there if you have kind of have a manifest file and then you can present your project and have a read me but also the bill of materials and these buttons in the middle the green buttons is where you can just click and buy the parts that you need yeah I kind of gone through this this is kind of what I started out with really what I want to go towards is now making it easier for people to upload projects electronic engineers are not always happy to learn get or use github so ideally I wouldn't be using that or using it in the background without people knowing it so that's what we're moving towards right now most of my work is spent on making it easier to put the bills of materials together so this is a bill of materials tool where you can put your bills bill of material and then just get go through it in like this spreadsheet s-quay but have all the information that you need I'm gonna give a talk about this tomorrow I developed this JavaScript library to to to parse electronic component descriptions so that's just a kind of a real convenience if you've got a lot of different components that are just that you know by these descriptions rather than by the exact part numbers and it goes from that to that so that's kind of part of the bill of materials editor as well so I needed it I just I just I am like I'm a single developer on this so I need help everywhere and I'm very interested in design but I'm not I was never trained in design and so the kind of the I try and find shortcuts like for this I found like a UI framework that was happy with and I try and just be as productive as I can without having any real design experience so yeah well you haven't seen it work yeah so I have a chat on a matrix org and on on free note on RC and obviously the way you add a project at the moment is you open an issue on my GitHub and say I want to add my project so at right at the start I have to do anything the user has to talk to me so yeah so this is the plan going forward and the plan for that for me is because I'm happy to work with get in the back end and but I the user isn't happy with that necessarily some of them are perfectly happy with that as well but so I'm integrating GitLab in the back end and then trying to like wrap the API and make a nice user interface for people to just upload projects and have the same effect sure so that's yeah so that's that's like an open there's a there's a pull request on on GitHub where I'm working towards that new that's like kit space 2.0 in a way and there's a lot of fused interaction and things to figure out there what like what what is an acceptable what is a good design there yeah thank you oh and so I'm giving talks if people are interested in this I'm giving talks tomorrow in the CAD and open hardware dev room I'm giving one and which is probably interesting for designers which is for for it using inkscape and using inkscape to do PCBs and lines so you can make more interesting kind of PCBs are not the normal green rectangles are you trying to cover up the past but it's not that important this is just to yeah so this is like an alarm management console it's currently being used by lots of different people I'm not quite sure how popular it is but you know maybe a couple of thousand different businesses and organizations around the world the idea is to consolidate alerts or alarms from multiple different systems I've had to rewrite it recently because the framework it was based on is is being deprecated the the core of it is is the colored alarm lines here so really the focus needs to be on that and everything else needs to sort of fade fade away if you like and so you can you can hide that's gonna work that one you can hide the menu and then you can bring other filters in here and and change change filters whatnot but it does it does seem very busy like you can do actions on alerts and so this brings the detail of the particular alert and you can action the alerts here like you can shelve them acknowledge them and acknowledge them close and delete them but I don't know it just seems it just seems like there's a lot going on and and I wonder if that is kind of overwhelming for for users and that's well this is the new version and the old version didn't have so much sliding in sliding out coming up and down to it I've had people say it's very good but I I don't think they've seen I haven't been able to introduce all of the old functionality yet and and I'm each time I'm adding a bit more to to bring it up to feature sort of parity it just feels more and more busy and more slightly overwhelming I don't know because the there they are tabs across the top as well so there's different environments you can filter by service there's a search box here so so you can filter the you can filter what you're seeing but you can also change the original search that's pulling the data on from the API so there's two layers of filtering if you like you know for for if you consider time and environment and and then there's a whole crud thing going on here as well you can add and delete users create customers blackouts which you know suppressing alarms yeah yeah there's it there's a lot but really the alarms is the focus yeah yeah I've got a github a lot of slash github or Twitter I'm a lot of IO yeah yeah so it's an open-source project I make no money from it so you know there probably wouldn't be a fee involved I tried to to build a website linked to a database where there will be a lot of financial data about corporates each corporates must publish some figure about their sale their the pay to their employees their benefits the the tax they pay to the government and the the thing is it's it's published under PDF and so for journalists or data journalism or ONG that wants to to dig into this data to know at what point tax evasion is a thing it's difficult because as I have to to to get the number into into excel basically and work with that and I'm I'm I want to to make a tool for them to be able to collaboratively build a database and then look inside and export CSV and things like that and so and so I'm I'm looking for help of the sleeve for to design a website that is easy to use for non-computer scientists journalists or ONG easy as easy as excel because you I hope I mean and and then also data visualization for to to see a company or the the link between many companies and so the the the webs yes I had just I have a github for now you could open and show it but yeah there's no screenshots are only okay okay the name is I'm what is it looks like it looks like open oh yeah this is open corporate facts it likes it likes open food facts I don't know if you know open food facts but I what I would like to do is the same but who is uh financial uh digit about uh about company and so it's uh it's i'm using symphony and php and uh my SQL database and things pretty classic javascript and things like that yeah okay thank you
