A talk to Startup festival Montreal on the importance of People not just Code. In a world where access to information is cheap and we are no longer command-n-control - the human skills of the "tummler" will ensure success.
Forging a New Social Contract - SXSW 2011deb schultz
This is the talk i gave at this year's SXSW to describe the new and emergent social contract we are crafting in a hyper connected world - i.e how is all this new tech impacting how we behave culturally, socially and in business.

Startupfest 2012- Code shmode, it’s people that matter: Tummeling for successStartupfest
At Jewish weddings, a Tummeler is hired to encourage everyone to dance. It’s no secret why communities flourish—they’re catalyzed to do so through a combination of engagement and collaboration. In this session Tummelvision founder and Geek Interpreter Deb Schultz, a founding partner, now senior fellow at San Francisco’s Altimeter Group, talks about innovation, communities, and the compelling economics of giving in order to receive.

Is traditional reading and writing enough to be considered literate in the 21st century? We need to rethink our notion of critical literacy, develop authentic learning and assessment opportunities, upgrade and amplify our curriculum.

Will the movement of social networking software onto mobiles/cellphones change the nature of social networking, or will it be just one more platform? I don\'t know, but mobiles do bring important features to SNS. This talk raises some of the issues.
Creating a Healthy Digital Culture: How empathy can change our organizationsDomain7
We often think of empathy as an abstract, emotional concept, maybe even see it as a weakness in an organizational context. This presentations suggests that empathy might be our greatest secret weapon to changing our organizations to become higher-performing, more innovative, better places to work, serving happier customers.

Digital Ethnography For Social Interaction Design [Remix]Brynn Evans
I gave this talk at Bolt|Peters' User Research Friday. The talk covers the challenges for studying online communities, or what I refer to as "social interaction design". Social interaction design is relevant for anyone who is developing a social product. Whether for iPhone apps, Twitter knock-offs, recipe management software, online shopping services, or even Wrigley's gum, there are social motivators that drive many user behaviors. Unfortunately, it's not so easy to "shadow" someone’s day-to-day activities in a digital space like you can in a physical space, which is why needs-finding for social interaction design requires a new set of tools and methods. I'll talk about a few remote research tools that can be used to understand the design opportunities in social spaces.
A short, garbled wrap up of Planning-ness 2013 in Boston, MA. It's not meant to be comprehensive of the entire conference, but should hopefully give you a little flavor for the event. It's a fun one y'all.

Keynote delivered at LSU Center for Computation and Technology's Virtual Worlds: New Realms for Culture, Creativity, Commerce, Computation, and Communication Conference.
In the same way as the web is quickly extending onto the mobile platform, we are starting to see the web moving further into the physical world. Many emerging technologies are beginning to offer physical-world inputs and outputs; multi-touch iPhones, gestural Wii controllers, RFID-driven museum interfaces, QR-coded magazines and GPS-enabled mobile phones.
These technologies have been used to create very useful services that interact with the web such as Plazes, Nokia Sports Tracker, Wattson, Tikitag and Nike Plus. But the technologies themselves often overshadow the user-experience and so far designers haven’t had language or patterns to express new ideas for these interfaces.
This talk will focus on a number of design directions for new physical interfaces. We will discuss various ideas around presence, location, context awareness, peripheral interaction as well as haptics and tangible interfaces. How do these interactions work with the web? What are the potentials and problems, and what kinds of design approaches are needed?

Presentation & Workshop for Brock University Masters Class - Foundations of Sustainability Science and Society - Environmental Communications. Nov. 2016
This Saturday was an amazing day, I couldn’t expect more for my first TEDx attedance.To be honest with you, I was expecting a pale version of TED talks but not at all.We lived all together a full day of TED talks supported by the Observer.
Dancing, laughing, crying all together. It was emotional, exhausting, inspiring, fun, unexpected.
I would attend this more often just to reboot my brain, challenge my views and cross my knowledge with multiple disciplines.
Here are my highlights of the day, I hope they will inspire more people!
Digital Dysphorias is exploring shifting cultural assumptions that occur as we live more online to ask what does this mean for future connectedness, and what does in mean in terms of transitioning between online and offline now?
Let's talk about LEARNING, not technology! What are some cultural shifts in our fast changing world, that have an impact on our own learning as educators? How can we start thinking differently about learning?
Thank you to Will Richardson for his thought provoking "3 Steps to Start Thinking Differently About Learning"( learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/25/guest-post-three-starting-points-for-thinking-differently-about-learning/) , Alec Couros for his 5 Answers to Challenges of Teaching & Learning in the 21st Century" (slideshare.net/courosa/taking-on-the-challenge-of-21st-century-teaching-learning) and Steve Hargadon for his thoughts of "You First", which makes so much sense.

23 Tips From Comedians to Be Funnier in Your Next Presentation (via the book ...David Nihill
As they clock up the 10,000 hours that Malcolm Gladwell says make a master, comedians learn a lot the hard way. Here are their top tips so you don't have to.
1. Use the Rule of 3
2. Draw Upon Your Real-Life Experiences
3. Identify the Key Part and Get There Fast
4. Find the Funny in Pain Points
5. Think Fails and Firsts
6. Listen and repeat.
7. Think Fun Over Funny
8. Screen Your Jokes
9. Tell a Joke
10. Like Jerry Seinfeld Does, Use Inherently Funny Words
11. Paint a Picture for Others to See
12. Do Something Memorable
13. Jokes are: 1, 2 … 4!
14. Use the Art of Misdirection
15. Put the Word the Joke Hinges on at the End of the Sentence
16. Use Tension
17. Avoid Ever Going Blank Onstage
18. Use Your Hands
19. Use Metaphors and Analogies Combined With Hyperbole (Exaggeration)
20. If the Energy Is Down, Bring It Up
21. Trust Your Funny Bits
22. Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance
And last but not least, from Irish comedian Dylan Moran:
23. Don’t Rely on Potential
“Don’t do it! Stay away from your potential,” Moran says. “You’ll mess it up. It’s potential; leave it. Anyway, it’s like your bank balance–you always have a lot less than you think.”
As Mark Twain said, “The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.” That type of arms race may be one worth all our time. Most presentations are really boring. With applications of these tips, yours will not be.
These tips are taken from the bestselling book Do You Talk Funny and Hacking Public Speaking. http://hackingpublicspeaking.com/

live slides (thus some are left blank for participants to write in ideas & share content) from the final Collaborate session in #etmooc. an overview of some of my own and others' work on digital identities, particularly for educators. focuses on how networked publics operate and the effect that particular affordances of digital technologies have on the facets of self we share and connect with as we interact online.
In the last two decades, screens have made our world hyper-connected. But do these virtual connections replace "authentic" physical interactions? Have our neighborhood communities become silent places that merely house people on screens? Explore the next wave in maker culture hacking our sense of community with emerging experiments that challenge our notion of "place". Find inspiration from interaction examples that can help prioritize fundamental human needs in your work.
"If you love your content, set it free" ?Mike Ellis
Traditional business models have scarcity at their core: when something is scarce, it becomes valuable. Online, this notion is challenged: in a world where every one of us can copy and distribute content at the click of a mouse, notions of ‘scarcity’ become more and more distant from reality. Several commentators have suggested that scale – i.e. providing more access to ‘valuable’ content rather than less – is actually a more scalable business model for the online economy. This session will look at ways in which content can be freed, and will also examine some of the issues which follow around control and authority.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Editor's Notes
Underlying everything at this conference is people, sharing and collaboration, yet we in the startup/tech world spend more time on algorithms than human nature. \nIn order to create startups that matter we have to remember that people matter. They are your foundation.\n\n\n
Good morning - Normally my rule of thumb is to never start a preso with a slide about me BUT considering that this talk is all about bringing the social online - it is only fair that it is proper social etiquette to formally introducing myself. \n\nI’ve played in a lot of corners of the web. \n\nCurrently, \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n
Set our own new rules \n\nWhat are the new moral principles of the Web?\n\nWe are living in a world with ethics and normative behaviors being set individually on a case by case basis and rules from one world are being carried over into another. \n\nIn a frictionless, hyper connected and persistent society norms are hyper-local within small groups – and we have become accustomed to move easily between these two groups and different [i.e. many hcat rooms, ]\n\nEach relationship has different expectations\nNever so much simultaneously communication with such density 0 \n\nDATING/WORK Story\n\ninredibly funny and mortifying the personal not to the darling boy I used to love goes to boss – style and content\n
Not about a viral video...or a blog....or a facebook app...or social media....or community\n It is about your business your product and your customers How, when and where they are receptive to you\n [and it better work, be easy to understand and add value to my life] \n
\n
A very social node\n
we socialized and did business with those who existed in the same physical space as we did - we knew them - we had small tribes - of family and neighbors\n
Each one of those dots is represents - not jsut data but people\n
Unfortunately, computers don’t always reflect our human selves\n
\n
What’s really changed about relationship – is that over the last few years we have a culture of sharing that we were not able to easily do before - it’s the ease, amplitude and attitude that has changes\n
The world we live in today is a blend of the grand and the personal; The episodic and the continuum; The atom and the bits; The binary and the blurry; How these two “modes” work together.\nIf we are now hyperconnected on the LiveWeb. We operate in a new relationship economy. Grand gestures represent an old model, the metaphor would be “ignore me ignore me ignore me - flowers on Valentine’s Day, ignore me, ignore me, ignore me - Superbowl Ad.\nWe have to design our online experiences to reflect the social relationship driven nature of this new economy. Death to Grand Gestures.\nThe implication of the death of the grand gesture for business is that this alters the way we connect with customers and market, now we need to communicate everywhere all the time, it's not the 2 product launches per year model anymore, or silence and then big launch – it’s a continuum punctuated with episodic - hence the popularity of agilie and innovation.\n\nIf we are now hyper-connected on the LiveWeb and operate in this renewed relationship economy - this means an end to the importance of Grand Gestures. Grand Genstures represent an old model, the metaphor would be “ignore me ignore me ignore me - flowers on Valentine’s Day, ignore me, ignore me, ignore me - Superbowl Ad. We have to design our online experiences to reflect the social relationship driven nature of this new economy. \nThe world we live in today is a blend of the grand and the personal; The episodic and the continuum; The atom and the bits; The binary and the blurry; How these two “modes” work together.\n\n
Andrew Zoli - poptech\n
And I would even argue many sites pretend to be about social but are often very static - heck we still call them web “pages” [skeuomorphs]\n

We have thousands of years of moral principles we ‘live’ by\n\nIn the past these rules were set by divine right and then philosophical dominion i.e.[smart guys in towers] now each new tool and individual and community forges a new set of principles on what is or is not valued by that community or tool or group\n\nIn all other places where we have gathered as a community we have had rules in place prior to the situation and an understanding of the agreed social contract\n\n\n\nAfter the creation of fire that first nite in the cave - someone had to negotiate - ok it’s not cool - we need to go to sleep put put the fire!\n

This new world requires new design thinking, more sophisticated tools and a renewed focus on human skills \nWe need an acknowledgment of the behavioral shifts and the emergent cultural & societal impacts \n\nThis is early days - the social web is an adolescent. As we move more and more from the data driven web to the social & participatory driven web - the softer social skills of the connector are in demand & needed. \n\nAsk yourself - If we no longer live in a command and control hierarchy...\n\n What kind of filters, frameworks and technology do we need to connect these dots to be truly useful?\n \n How do we incorporate design into framing emergent etiquette and the new social contract?\n \n What are the new skills succeeding in a hyper networked world?\n\n\n\n
Tummlers - Tummler is a yiddish word that means to catalyze others to action. It was traditionally the individual who was hired to get everyone to dance at a wedding or the comedian who hung out all week to get to know his audience and create a sense of community.\n\nI used this word today to describe both the human skill set and practice needed to succeed in a world that is no longer command and control but networked and connected. \n\nI am here to put a stake in the ground - one who are the technologists who say the users will change - the socialogists friends who stamp their feet and people are people - entrenched discourse\n\nNot just people but communities - technologists and the luddites need to get each of those cultures individual tummlers lead to cultural shofts and breaking down the boundaries\n\ntummeling is not just a person it’s a practice.\n\npeople and technology -their are activities thru technology \n\nWe need to be cognizant of the world we are building and live in the colorful middle\n \n \n \n an entertainer or master of ceremonies, especially one who encourages audience interaction (from Yiddish tumler, from tumlen 'make a racket'; cf. German (sich) tummeln 'go among people, cavort')\n
In a fast paced agile environment trust, connection etc is increasingly vital\n
If we no longer live in a command n control world we need to cultivate our ability to connect to each other and act \n
Access to information is cheap\nTech/Code is rarely a differentiator\nWhen there is no more command n control - we need to cultivate tummel skills to act and thrive.\n\n
In this world the tummler is the new CEO and is critical for thriving.\n
