The document outlines 10 things that can be done in 10 minutes to inspire creativity and learning. They include creating music with Sonic Pi and Ruby, taking time to think without distractions, embracing mistakes as opportunities to learn, trying design thinking, getting a Raspberry Pi computer to code projects, going outdoors to incorporate sensors and nature, solving community problems through projects, sending experiments to space, applying effective altruism to do the most good, and asking questions. The ideas are presented by Matt Fellows and include references for further information.

Data. It keeps coming up time and time again. On our social media feeds, in our client conversations, and has of course been the driver behind never-before-seen tools like ChatGPT.
But how can you do more with the data your organisation has and produces? What is data engineering and big data, and how can you enable data-driven decision-making within your organisation?
Hear from Nabi Rezvani—Lead Data Engineer—and Gaurav Thadani—Lead Software Engineer at DiUS on the latest trends, use cases and real-life examples of how our clients are using data and analytics to improve their decision making, customer experiences and business operations.
Also joining us are Jonathan Gomez—Head of Data Platforms at Wesfarmers OneDigital OnePass—and John Sullivan—CEO at ChargeFox—on their own [big and small] data journeys, along with the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Serverless microservices: Test smarter, not harderDiUS
From YOW! night presentation in Melbourne and Sydney
Modern distributed architectures are increasingly composed of large numbers of decoupled, asynchronous components. In AWS, these components are plumbed together via services like SQS, Kinesis and S3 often integrated via small and frequent numbers of microservices or lambdas. But how do you test these architectures if they are cloud native?
It’s 2019, and we can do better than deploying the entire stack and running a battery of E2E tests against them.
In his talk, Matt will demonstrate how you can scale development of large-scale systems across teams, technology and process, and unlock the agility of your cloud-native architecture.

Deploy distributed systems faster and safer with contract tests
It’s 2018 and we still rely on integrated environments and large end-to-end test suites to release complex ecosystems, also called “software". In this talk, Matt breaks down the arguments for such nonsense and provides a better, faster, safer alternative.

GameDay - Achieving resilience through Chaos EngineeringDiUS
http://dius.com.au/resources/game-day/
Agility has brought us iterative software development, independent feature teams, nimble architectures and distributed, scalable infrastructure. But how do you maintain confidence in these systems in the face of this emergent complexity and fast paced change? The answer is to anticipate and practice failure!
In this session we explore GameDays, a collaborative exercise where teams safely introduce chaos into their systems, in order to make them better.

Slides from Golang Melbourne Meetup July 2016 (http://www.meetup.com/golang-mel/events/229251263/).
Agile has redefined how we interact. There’s no developer team or testing team anymore, it’s all about the team; a collaborative effort of individuals that share the same vision to build a product or deliver new features. But building a product or implementing new features can be tough due to a variety of internal and external factors.
In their talk at 1st Conference on February 15, Adam Cough and Tarcio Saraiva explored techniques that can assist you in building quality software. They looked at the evolution of quality in software development and how it’s applied to a fast paced industry that is constantly reshaping itself.
The Lean Startup approach has led to a proliferation of analytics tools over the past few years, promising faster feedback cycles and better products for our customers. However, many of the tools and approaches apply to the back-end, are slow and inappropriate or cost you an arm and a leg. And then there is Adobe Analytics...
In this talk, Matt will discuss why we need metrics, some approaches to bring the party to the front-end, and some cheap/low-fi solutions to get you dreaming up metrics until your heart is content.
Antifragility and testing for distributed systems failureDiUS
Failure is inevitable. In our modern world filled with continuously delivered and increasingly complex distributed architectures (looking at you micro-services), it is important to be able to test and improve our systems under a range of failure conditions.
In this talk, Matt discusses these complexities and the forces they exert on development teams, presenting some simple strategies and practical advice to deal with them.

Rise of the machines: Continuous Delivery at SEEK - YOW! Night Summary SlidesDiUS
The virtues of continuous delivery are widely understood and accepted by organisations which value fast feedback cycles, reduced risk through incremental delivery of smaller changes and the ability to respond quickly to external factors. Furthermore if microservices are part of your architecture, then the ability to rapidly deploy multiple components of a system become increasingly important.
The foundations of scripting, automation and more recently containers made *nix-based systems the first target for automated deployments and subsequently continuous delivery. With the advent of some new tooling and a bit of courage these principles can now be applied to more heterogeneous environments including those from Redmond.
Using their backgrounds in automating large-scale ruby and java-based deployments, Warner and Matt embarked on a journey with SEEK to increase their agility by enabling continuous delivery – typically multiple times per day. This is their story.

As part of Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA)’s company-wide mission to win back customers, the VHA Digital Products division, with the help of DiUS, built a strategic internal agile development and innovation capability. By leveraging AWS, VHA now has the powerful ability to be more responsive, to experiment, fail-fast and in turn, to deliver an improved customer experience across all digital touchpoints.
We will share VHA’s journey so far by looking at the business objectives and diving into how people, process and technology made it happen:
Making a business case for AWS
Working within a complex technology landscape including legacy systems, COTS products as well as custom-built systems
The role AWS played in achieving change
Enabling daily deployments using Continuous Delivery and other practices and tools
What's next on VHA's agility roadmap

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
