This document summarizes Rob Fitzpatrick's thoughts on business models from October 12, 2012. He discusses prototyping different business models using Osterwalder's Business Model Canvas technique. This involves identifying customer segments, the value proposition, channels, revenue streams, and other elements. Fitzpatrick emphasizes launching fast by building the minimum viable product to test high risk assumptions and then iterating based on what is learned. He offers his help with internal innovation, events, and sharing cautionary tales from his experience.

Doing customer development (and stop wasting your time)Hans van Gent

Apps, Timeline and Facepile: Making Sense of Facebook as a Non-Developerlinds313
Facebook is the biggest player in social media; it’s where virtually every brand needs to be. Yet, how to get involved can be a bit confusing when the platform seems to change every few months.
The latest group of changes, which included Timeline and Brand Pages updates, is one of their most significant updates. This session will give a “quick and dirty” rundown of the latest changes (those in the last calendar year) and why they matter to brands.

Geeks see code as art and content as stuff. Journalists see code as stuff and content as the art. Geeks may say "provide me content" while journalists are like "build this site." With that kind of attitudes, it's hard to get buy-in from the other side and why the web is plagued by low-quality aggregators or clunky news sites. What coders and journalists should understand: they have more in common than not. Both sides are motivated by their craft and a desire to feel that an audience is experiencing their work, whether though prose or programming. Coders and writers are not interchangeable, that great talent can be an order of magnitude more effective than mediocre talent. Though discussions of case studies and mistakes, this panel will explain from both the journalists' and the programmers' perspectives how to speak a language they will understand. Successful projects form partnerships with advice and consultation from the earliest stages, rather than as an afterthought.
Wouldn't it be great if your wiki was as "sticky" as Facebook? Wish no more! John will reveal how Atlassian makes its own internal wiki so sticky that people "live in it" all day. You'll walk out with a long list of ideas on how to improve wiki adoption in your own company.

The "Get Social or Die Trying" presentation in english as it was held at Social Connections IV in Amsterdam 29. Nov. 2012. Great event, great people, great knowledge.
The Atlassian suite of developer tools has grown in the last year, and we have some juicy new products to demo. Hear and see the latest on Stash, Bitbucket, FishEye, Crucible, Bamboo, and SourceTree.
29. Recap:
1. There’s always more than
one biz model (so play with it)
2. Focus on the risky bits first
3. Build just enough to resolve
the top risk, then re-evaluate
