👋 Introducing Data Contracts: An agreement between data producers and consumers
📝 Data Contracts key components: Understanding a contract and its purpose
🧑🎨 Writing your first contract: How to create your own contracts in OpenMetadata
🦾 An OpenMetadata MCP Server update!
➕ And More!

9-1-1 Addressing: End-to-End Automation Using FME
9-1-1 Addressing: End-to-End Automation Using FMESafe Software This session will cover a common use case for local and state/provincial governments who create and/or maintain their 9-1-1 addressing data, particularly address points and road centerlines. In this session, you'll learn how FME has helped Shelby County 9-1-1 (TN) automate the 9-1-1 addressing process; including automatically assigning attributes from disparate sources, on-the-fly QAQC of said data, and reporting. The FME logic that this presentation will cover includes: Table joins using attributes and geometry, Looping in custom transformers, Working with lists and Change detection.

"Database isolation: how we deal with hundreds of direct connections to the d...Fwdays What can go wrong if you allow each service to access the database directly? In a startup, this seems like a quick and easy solution, but as the system scales, problems appear that no one could have guessed.
In my talk, I'll share Solidgate's experience in transforming its architecture: from the chaos of direct connections to a service-based data access model. I will talk about the transition stages, bottlenecks, and how isolation affected infrastructure support. I will honestly show what worked and what didn't. In short, we will analyze the controversy of this talk.

UserCon Belgium: Honey, VMware increased my bill
UserCon Belgium: Honey, VMware increased my billstijn40 VMware’s pricing changes have forced organizations to rethink their datacenter cost management strategies. While FinOps is commonly associated with cloud environments, the FinOps Foundation has recently expanded its framework to include Scopes—and Datacenter is now officially part of the equation. In this session, we’ll map the FinOps Framework to a VMware-based datacenter, focusing on cost visibility, optimization, and automation. You’ll learn how to track costs more effectively, rightsize workloads, optimize licensing, and drive efficiency—all without migrating to the cloud. We’ll also explore how to align IT teams, finance, and leadership around cost-aware decision-making for on-prem environments. If your VMware bill keeps increasing and you need a new approach to cost management, this session is for you!
WebdriverIO & JavaScript: The Perfect Duo for Web Automation
WebdriverIO & JavaScript: The Perfect Duo for Web Automationdigitaljignect In today’s dynamic digital landscape, ensuring the quality and dependability of web applications is essential. While Selenium has been a longstanding solution for automating browser tasks, the integration of WebdriverIO (WDIO) with Selenium and JavaScript marks a significant advancement in automation testing. WDIO enhances the testing process by offering a robust interface that improves test creation, execution, and management. This amalgamation capitalizes on the strengths of both tools, leveraging Selenium’s broad browser support and WDIO’s modern, efficient approach to test automation. As automation testing becomes increasingly vital for faster development cycles and superior software releases, WDIO emerges as a versatile framework, particularly potent when paired with JavaScript, making it a preferred choice for contemporary testing teams.

Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and Sweco
Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and SwecoSafe Software Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when you’re expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts – all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results – streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FME’s AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.
Discover how airports like Swedavia are harnessing the power of FME to simplify aviation data management, and how you can too.
