# we-dev-on newsletter; edition 5th of April 2017

![GitHub Logo](../img/devonfw-logo-smallest.png)

## Introduction

Dear devonfw community,

We present the second edition of the 'we-dev-on' newsletter, the reader-supported publication for and from the devonfw & OASP communities all over Capgemini APPS2. This does not mean that the newsletter has any fixed schedule. There is no rush - we publish when ready - but we are happy to conclude and to report that there are enough new news items which warrant this new edition. 

The iCSD Core Team

## Devonfw Harvest Status update

As published in [the previous edition of the newsletter](https://devonfw.github.io/we-dev-on/2017/10-03-2017.html) we have launched the initiative of the  **devonfw Harvest**.

![Devonfw Harvest](img/devon_harvest.png)

This is meant to be an agile process wherein the engagements do not have to change their client focused approach. They implement their modules and components in the interest of and within the context of the project. However, we offer them the opportunity to contribute their work within devonfw by participating in "the Harvest". During these events, basically **hackathons**, members of the devonfw and OASP communities help volunteers from the engagements "extract" project specific components and turn them into more generic modules which can be used by any future engagement from all over APPS2. By participating in a Harvest, those involved in the engagements can guarantee the existence of the module in future projects, which is to everyone's advantage, and contribute back to the community; become *part* of that community. And as a teaser we offer a price for the best component for each Harvest. 

We are happy to be able to announce that we **already have received nominations from both Germany as well as Spain**. See the announcements by [<NAME>](https://www.yammer.com/capgemini.com/#/Threads/show?threadId=857052773) and [<NAME>](https://www.yammer.com/capgemini.com/#/Threads/show?threadId=859703316). Thank you all!

The engagements can still put forward their candidate components and teams until **Today, Wednesday the 5th of April**. This Friday, the 7th of April, the eligible contenders are announced on Yammer. During the next 5 consecutive Fridays we will organize the webcast where all teams can show off their work. And **Friday the 12th of May 2017** the winning team will be announced.

## Architects- and Software Engineers Summit 2017, Capgemini Germany

This year Capgemini Apps Germany organized their yearly summit for Architects. Known previously as the AppsEvolve! Summit, this now has been renamed to Architects- and Software Engineers Summit. The summit has had a large impact in the field of industrialization and innovation and in connecting influential people across borders. It has turned into something of a crown jewel for the German practice, which is looked upon with certain amount of professional but jovial envy from within the rest of Apps2.
