Slides for the London Hacker News event on 27 June 2012. We discussed PeerJ, a new Open Access journal, and a framework for disrupting other industries.
How to provide a design which will actually sell? There is no direct answer, but there are clues. In this presentation I try to explain some of them, providing also my own, simple User Economy model.
In The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs, business journalist Carmine Gallo describes the seven principles that form the philosophical core of master innovator, Steve Jobs. Although there is only one Steve Jobs, studying and following these principles can inspire creativity and the ability to ‘think different’
in any profession or workplace. Among these principles are the importance of following one’s heart and pursuing one’s passion, as well as the importance of seeking out new experiences. Innovations occur by making connections between unexpected things, and this ability is rooted in a life filled with a wide range
of experiences. Simplicity is also crucial, because anything
which is more complicated than it needs to be will attract a narrower audience. Also important is the ability to communicate the importance and utility of one’s innovation, or tell its story, effectively.
In this presentation, how one of the biggest mobile manufacturing company that is Nokia fall down to the ground is been explained.
4 major reasons are there in the presentation, beautifully presented and explanation is in the notes section, and a short description about when Nokia is coming back.

Freemium open access publishing learning to let gotobygreen
20 years after the Budapest Declaration only around half of journal articles are Open Access and hardly any books. This suggests that the Green and Gold Open Access models aren't working. I also argue that neither model gives any incentive to build audience size - which is surely the objective if Open Access is going to really benefit society. In this presentation, I propose a Freemium Open Access publishing model as an alternative.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

A framework for Disruption
1. The following slides were presented at the
London Hacker News event on 27 June 2012.
http://www.meetup.com/HNLondon/events/69942082/
Out of context from the voiceover, some slides
won’t make a lot of sense, so I’ve added a few
context speech bubbles.
3. CONTEXT: People like Josh
cannot get access to the
research they need for life
threatening diseases. Nor can
their doctors, and now even the
world’s wealthiest library,
Harvard, has urged faculty not
to publish behind paywalls
because they cannot afford
subscription fees.
JOSH SOMMER
CHORDOMA FOUNDATION
4. If we can set a goal to sequence
the human genome for $99
-then why can’t we also publish
that research for $99?
CONTEXT: A solution is open
access or ‘OA.’ The author pays
a fee to make the paper free to
download. However, it still costs
thousands of US $$ to publish
OA today.
5. CONTEXT: In response, I co-
founded PeerJ, that has a low
fee of $99 for lifetime
publishing. I also started a new
kid at the same time . Note: I
don’t recommend having a kid
and a new startup at the same
time!
6. Backed with $950K seed led by O’Reilly
AlphaTech Ventures (OATV)
Tim O’Reilly is on the board
London and San Francisco
Raised with just an idea – no product, no
revenue, no customers
This is what I’m here to
talk about
7. CONTEXT: I’d like to see more
‘real’ problems being worked
on by today’s tech talent, rather
than more simple apps being
built. That’s a tough road
though, so the idea here was to
give some pointers.
Use a framework for disruption
Or…a case study of changing
academic publishing
#HNLondon, 27 June 2012
@jasonHoyt
jason@PeerJ.com
Co-founder & CEO, PeerJ
8. My background is science; formally for past
17 years
Did a PhD in Genetics – witnessed &
suffered through woes of getting published
You don’t need a formal edu, but you do
need to know your shit & be passionate
9. CONTEXT: Even if your talent is
something like being a Python
programming language expert,
you can still partner with an
expert in say ‘green-tech.’
Today’s big problems need
crossover like that big time if we
are going to solve them.
Framework for disruption- #1
FIND A PROBLEM THAT MATCHES
YOUR DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE
10. Academic Publishing is 300+ years-old.
The Web has turned into a recent problem
for the big academic publishers, just as it did
for the music industry.
Academics are pissed.
-More than 12K are now boycotting the world’s largest
academic publisher, Elsevier. thecostofknowledge.com
12. Two biz models in academic publishing
Journal subcriptions (300+ yrs old)
Author pays per article (< 15 yrs old)
Printing press technology of 1660
still drives today’s business models.
WTF?
13. CONTEXT: In academic
publishing, something as simple
as a fresh looking webpage
would be a welcome change
from the 1990’s look of today’s
journals. PeerJ is also adding a
third biz model of lifetime
membership. Old markets can
be disrupted in such ways.
Framework for disruption- #3
FIND A PROBLEM WHERE TECH OR
NEW BIZ MODELS CAN BE
INTRODUCED
14. TheCurrent Academic Pub Market
$10 Billion
Global annual revenue
~40% profit margin
150 Million
Knowledge workers
(the readers)
10 Million
Authors
(the customers)
1.5 Million
Publications /
Year
(the product)
15. CONTEXT: If costs of Open
Access drop (e.g. PeerJ’s pricing)
then the ‘old guard’ with
shareholders to answer to
won’t be able to dramatically
lower costs. Competitive
advantage. Similarly, there are
old incumbents in energy,
banking, etc that have much to
lose. Look out for ‘backroom’
politics that the incumbents can
afford to play though.
Framework for disruption- #4
FIND A PROBLEM WHERE
INCUMBENTS HAVE MUCH TO LOSE
IF THEY COPY YOU
17. CONTEXT: I tested the appeal
for PeerJ with just a simple
landing page back in Dec ‘11.
Word got back to me that
lobbyists & others were already
discussing who was behind the
idea in D.C. That was my first
signal that the idea was worth
evaluating and pursuing further.
Test your concepts early and
cheaply.
Framework for disruption- #5
A/B TEST YOUR IDEA AS EARLY
AS POSSIBLE
18. Join me!
Pete Me
Pete Binfield
Co-founder & Publisher, PeerJ
Friend for several years People who believe in Pete
Previously ran world’s largest
journal – PLoS ONE
19. CONTEXT: In the end, you don’t
need to convince everyone at
the start. Choose your co-
founder(s) wisely.
Framework for disruption- #6
YOU ONLY NEED TO CONVINCE ONE
OTHER PERSON – BUT MAKE THEM
COUNT
