How does a hands-on mangOH looks like? A room full of developers, mangOH Green open source hardware boards, computers, cables, sensors, and of course some casual food and drink to sustain the session and help the networking. Add to that a presenter, few expert folks to support attendees, and you're ready to get everybody develop an actual real IoT sendor-to-cloud application within 2 hours.

About 24% of electricity customers are equipped with smart meters in Europe (28 EU countries plus Switzerland and Norway) at the end of 2014 (source: Berg Insight), and the research firm forecasted the penetration rate will reach 70% by 2022 in the same region. At the European Utility Week, we have presented a new smart energy monitoring demo to illustrate how utilities company can make use of the smart cellular modules already present in a smart meter, to offer extra value-added service to the end customers.

Open source hardware initiatives have emerged to fulfil educational needs. Arduino is maybe the most well-known example. It has been very successful so far, but its reach has been mainly limited to DIYers, teachers and students, or engineers who want to “play with,” discover, or showcase a technology. However, truly open source hardware has not been widely used in the industry. But a new kind of open source hardware is now emerging.

It's so simple, really. What we all want is to build something that solves a problem in the best way we can. And we want it fast. And cheap. But it's not so simple, after all. There are a myriad of combinations and permutations that will get you (eventually) from here to there. How can you ensure your IoT project gets off the drawing board and into the market?

Did you now that Developer Studio can be used jointly with a continuous integration system, in order to improve your software quality? When multiple developers work on the project, this is a great way to ensure consistency and robustness for your "official" builds. Integration environment is indeed separated from multiple developers configurations, making sure that integration builds are always performed the same way, with a stable system configuration.
