As we all know, the tech sector is exploding in the Bay area–but not everyone feels–or is–included–in the growth. How are local grassroots organizations and tech companies addressing these issues, together and seperately? What foundations and local non-profits are staking out career education and inclusion as critical components of their programs?
Join Susan Mernit and the Hack the Hood team, winners of the 2014 Google Bay Area impact Challenge, for a review of Bay area groups addressing these issues–and find out how you can be involved.

From virtual reality to predictive analytics and from online boot camps to interactive simulations, technology is paving new ways to enhance educational access around the world. For lifelong learning, what used to be privileged opportunities for an elite group of learners have become just-in-time on-demand disposable learning for all ages while an increasing number of edu-preneurs is actively expanding proprietary education enterprises by leveraging a variety of emerging technologies and social media networks. This presentation shares lessons learned from multiple enterprises, global education projects, recent trends of technological advancements relevant to skill training, and critical perspectives on new competencies for the 4th industrial revolution.

Girls, ICT and entrepreneurship. Learning from existing initiativesCESGA
This report presents the main findings of an analysis conducted in the context of the project ICTGo-Girls! Promoting Entrepreneurship among Secondary School Girls through ICT. This project proposes to design, carry out and evaluate a pilot program to enhance entrepreneurship skills among secondary school girls, using ICT as a key element both in terms of resources developed as in content. It is aimed at empowering girls with the knowledge, skills and values to help them to be able to create future opportunities for innovation and quality ICT related employment. For this purpose, useful interactive activities, proposals and open source / free digital tools are identified and adapted, building a learning methodology and a complete toolkit, containing support materials, methodologies and software for schools and educational communities.

Le parcours nommé Chalk-Talk (littéralement discussion autour d’une craie), est une série de discussions autour d’un tableau noir et de sa craie (ou un tableau blanc et son feutre dans notre cas). Ces discussions, abordant des sujets très variés, animées par des spécialistes, sont limitées dans le temps (typiquement une trentaine de minutes). Cette session aborde la place des femmes dans l'IT.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

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.

3. The face of the workforce
is changing. It is
increasingly female, global
and digital.
Women already make up
half the workforce, yet...
4. Women’s representation in
the computing and

workforce has been
falling since peak in 198?.

9. Hypothesis
The Difference in Female and
Male Perspectives leads to
negative attitudes toward
and barriers for women in
the educational system as
well as on the job market
12. Hypothesis
35 – 45 y/o male engineers
can't design a training
program that will
appeal to young women
13. I AM
codealia
Young - Strong - Independent - Educated
Goals
- being a conceptual role model to young women
- offer intresting an motivating curriculum
- make training fun and engaging by connecting with
everyday problems
- recognize that technology is secondary – what it does is
what makes ppl tick
- ”it's all about ppl-skills, stupid!”
15. Objectives
The main objective of this project is to spark interest in
Software development and programming in young women /
girls by:
