## 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 will be published biweekly. 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.

## 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 **Wednesday the 5th of April**. The next Friday 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. Knows previously as the AppsEvolve! Summit, this know 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.

This year the overall topic was **"Digital Transformation"**. During the two and a half days in dozens of sessions the participants looked at Capgemini and our competencies, vision and ambitions for 2017 and how to get there with strong architects and engineering communities. It was a great opportunity to learn, network and expand our horizons. All presentations and associated documentation [can be found at the landing page of the Summit](https://troom.capgemini.com/sites/vcc/Wiki/Summit2017.aspx).

During the second day we had an opportunity to give several short talks about the state of iCSD, devonfw and Production Line, which were well received. [The devonfw slides can be found here.](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1m8-L7WFMsxSMEIuGSuHCiyXqQSudffJaZKuPAOnjD6k/edit?usp=sharing).
