A retrospective on the last 2 years (2011 to 2013). Confluence has developed a lot! This presentation shows how Atlassian has added a ton of features to help people to get their work done faster and collaborate better together.
How effective feedback can improve your softwareSven Peters
Getting early feedback back into your development is essential for quality and acceptance of your application. Stop talking about what your software can do and start listening more to your customers, testers and stakeholder. This way you can find if you’re gonna ship the next killer feature or a dud. Let your customers decide what ideas would be awesome to implement and what features you should remove again to avoid feature creep.
Learn how we at Atlassian captures effectively feedback and incorporate it into our software development process. Find out how we use Innovation Games to collect ideas from users and try them out by building prototypes in just 24 hours. See how we use our cloud based services to test the adoption of new features before we role them out to all our customers. Stop endless discussions and reach out to your users!
Atlassian was founded 10 years ago. Today the Australien company has a $100 Million revenue and over 500 employees. After 10 years Atlassian still feels fresh and is one of the most popular employers for software developer. What are the Aussies doing differently?
This session shows Atlassians values and gives an inside view on how we work. I will discuss topics like:
* open and honest discussions
* what Agile means for us
* how we support innovations
* developer, developer, developer... and the rest
* how we capture feedback
We have fun developing awesome products. Other companies should have the same fun doing productive, transparent and honest software development. Find out how Atlassian works and get ideas how to improve your team and company.
This session shows you how we do Kick-@$$ software development at Atlassian and actually get stuff done. Feedback cycles are short, code quality is awesome and customers get the features they lust after. Hear how we: use pull-requests for better code quality; collaborate fast to develop ideas; avoid meetings; tighten feedback loops to fail fast; shorten release cycles and work together happily on different continents. Sound like paradise? It is!
Devcon Tel Aviv - How to do Kick-ass Software DevelopmentDavid Bonilla
How Atlassian tries to build kick-ass software. All the techniques, tips and hints condensed -from our special Continous Integration to our customized testing procedures- in a 30 minutes talk.
JIRA Software is an extremely flexible and powerful tool, which can be used in a variety of ways. As a 9-year Atlassian veteran, Nick Pellow will outline the innovative ways JIRA Software is being used within Atlassian, and what features our teams find most useful to enhance their processes.
I'll cover practical tips, such as how we run Scrum and Kanban, and how we've customized projects and boards to best plan, track, and ship software with the precision of a black-belt judo master.

How to Raise Your Profile as a Developer (And Why You Should Bother!)Lauren Hayward Schaefer
We like to think the tech industry is a meritocracy: if you put your head down and do your work well, you will be recognized. Unfortunately, this is not typically the case. In order to advance your career, you will likely need to raise your profile internally at your company and/or externally in the broader developer community. During this session, Lauren Schaefer will share personal stories of how she has worked to overcome the discomfort of raising her profile. You'll leave this session with practical steps you can take in the coming weeks and months to raise your profile.
Ship Faster, Reduce Risk, and Build Scale with Feature FlagsAtlassian
Today's software companies are trying to move faster than ever before. Feature flagging is a way for to reduce risk, increase the amount of visibility, and improve your ability to respond to change. Learn how you can begin utilizing feature flagging effectively, and how Atlassian flags with LaunchDarkly to ship software daily.
We work together in teams, across divisions and with different companies. A lot of our productive work time is lost because information is kept in departments, on file servers or in peoples heads. With the trend to distributed organizations we need to communicate more effective.
This sessions shows how companies like Atlassian and Hubspot have encouraged their employees to live and breath a collaborative culture. I will talk about 4 things that helped us work happily together like building a great work environment, focusing on people instead of roles, using tools to communicate faster and more transparently and staying away from a command & control mentality. Collaboration creates greater value, enhances achievement, and produces sustainable business models. It’s time to move from the industrial age to the information age and start the collaboration revolution!
The talk from DevOps Days Silicon Valley 2015 conference which describes the signs of having or being a single point of failure expert on your system, and the ways to solve the problem
Moving to Git opens up a whole new level of agility for software teams. Freed from the clunky code freezes and monolithic mega-merges that plague centralized version control, developers can isolate work in progress and build in narrow vertical slices with ease. Branching is so painless with Git that many teams are making new branches for each user story or bug fix they implement. This model is quickly becoming the new gold standard for agile teams – and for good reason!
Git is not just a version control system. Git can change the way you interact with your team members. Lot’s of teams don’t think about reflecting their development workflow in Git and just use it out-of-the-box. Git, however, can be much more powerful, giving your team a boost in productivity, protecting your delivery pipeline and helping you to work better together.
In this session we will start with a central workflow that is used by a lot of Subversion teams. You will learn how to practically integrate ALM solutions like continuous deployment, code reviews, change tracking and much more into your individual workflow. You will find out how to protect your master branch from accidental commits, broken builds and unreviewed code. This presentation will help you discover the best way to work together as a team – whether you’re yet to migrate to Git or even an experienced Git user.
This presentation is about how to get the best out of your software development team. We at Atlassian have tried some things to make our daily work more efficient and more fun. We are tying things like Dogfooding, Brown Bags, automatic project reports, FedEx Days and much much more.

Coding is simple and great if it's just you working on the code. It is getting much more complex when a whole team or even several teams are working on the code base. You want to be sure, that everybody knows about code changes, the quality is the same all over the code base and a merge shouldn't stop the whole team from working. Atlassian's tools can help you out.
This presentation shows how you can use Stash and Bamboo to happily code together in a team. You don't have to worry about broken builds on your master branch or that your graduate accidentally merges his changes that get automatic deployed. Everybody understands each part of the code base and the code got reviewed before it hits your master branch.

How To Do Kick-Ass Software DevelopmentSven Peters
With Kick-Ass Software Development you actually get stuff done. Feedback cycles are short, code quality is awesome and customers get the features they lust after. Less mangers managing, less testers testing and less IT-operators operating. The developers take the power back, making them much happier. Sound like paradise? It is! This session will show you how we do Kick-Ass Software Development at Atlassian.
I talk about how we: use pull requests for better code quality; collaborate fast to develop ideas; avoid meetings to get more stuff done; tighten our feedback loops to fail faster; shorten our release cycles; and work together happily on different continents. It's a great way to develop software and we think it can work in your company, too.
Watch the video if this talk: http://vimeo.com/70102926
Bamboo is a continuous integrations server from Atlassian. But Bamboo is much more than that. See, how a modern CI-Server goes further with automated building, testing, deploying, and releasing of your software.
Software development is a social challenge. We should design our workflows so that everybody knows what's going on: From coining an idea to running the software on servers in production.
Let me share with you how we at Atlassian are working with a highly transparent workflow and how we have build that directly into our tools - to build software better together!
Get an update about our two DVCS repository manager Bitbucket and Stash and learn the difference. See what we recently added to Confluence and get a sneak peak on what's coming next.
Are you using Subversion or CVS? That’s great, whatever you do, don’t migrate to Git! Git makes you work overtime, confuses developers with too many options, destroys the social interaction with your co-workers and much more. Git has unnecessary features like offline commits and cherry picking that nobody needs at his day job. Your code is the most important thing for your software development and you should use a mature technology for storing it. Let the kids play around with Git.
In this ironic lightning talk I will give you 5 reasons, why you shouldn’t use Git always with a twinkle in the eye. So create a new branch in SVN and come to my session while you checkout the branch.
Developing a product over years is a tough job. It is hard for the team to stay excited on a day to day basis. So how can you improve motivation and innovation of agile teams and still keep the focus on building a great product? I want to share with you how we at Atlassian used an agile approach to become one of the most successful developer tool companies in the world. This talk will cover topics like FedEx days, 20-percent time, keeping distraction away from developers, lunchtime talks, dogfooding and much more.
An Exploration of Cross-product App ExperiencesAtlassian
Atlassian has been building out the Teamwork platform, bringing cross-product experiences like the rich-text editor to all of our products. Extending the Teamwork platform presents a new opportunity for developers.
In this talk, we'll share more on what the Teamwork platform is, where is it available, and explore how we’re thinking app developers might extend the platform. Learn more about the future vision of building cross-product apps, consider what new opportunities it might present for your team, and give early feedback for how you’d like to see it evolve.
Slides from my talk on the things I've learned by comparing the collaborative process as it is carried out in many modern organizations to the creative process of artists and makers.
Get hands-on advice for rapid Agile prototyping in a product team.
You'll learn:
- How to determine the right depth and breadth for MVP prototypes.
- How to prioritize use cases for prototyping.
- How to elicit the right stakeholder and user feedback.
- How to correctly annotate prototypes for dev and QA.

Feedback cycles are short, code quality is awesome, and customers get the features they lust after. Hear how Atlassian uses pull-requests for better code quality; collaborates fast to develop ideas; avoids meetings; tightens feedback loops to fail fast; shortens release cycles and work together happily from different corners of the globe. Sound like paradise? It is!
Don't be Left Out: Tips for Working in a Remote TeamAtlassian
Working with a team on the other side of the world can be a lonely, frustrating experience. But with the right attitude, practices, and tools, it still can be an effective way to build software with others. Hear from Atlassian developer, Adam Hynes on how he moved to the other side of the world and stayed productive (and sane) without changing teams.
Learn how he uses tools such as Floobits for real-time remote pairing, Confluence for white-boarding hard problems with distant teammates, and HipChat for asynchronous stand-ups to keep the team on the same page across timezones.
You'll come away with several remote working tips that'll set you up for success.

No Such Thing as Best Practice in Design, Nati Asher and Pat FragosoCzechDreamin
The promise of best practice is appealing – after all, it’s a shortcut.
But we have seen where things go wrong when Design is an afterthought.
At Salesforce, we firmly believe that combining good practice with research and customer knowledge gives us the superpower to create the most efficient solutions for our users.

✊ Join the DEV-olution: A culture of empowered developersSven Peters
Engineering leaders say their organizations struggle with productivity, collaboration, and tracking progress against goals. Some try to fix it by adding more dashboards, making strict rules, and asking for more reports. But just doing more doesn't solve the real issues developers face.
Let’s build a culture that empowers developers to do the right things and starts a dev-olution. Join Sven and hear how empowered teams build trustful relationships, work asynchronously and synchronously, use data smartly, care about outcomes, stay curious, and always try new things. More importantly, you will learn how to establish such a culture evolutionarily.
Empowering your engineers will amplify developer joy and supercharge your development effectiveness.
Team Shaping - Building a shared understandingSven Peters
Teamwork is tough, and it’s not getting easier. As more teams switch to remote or hybrid work models, building and maintaining a sense of connection and shared purpose among team members is becoming increasingly challenging. If we're going to get our teams healthy, we need to hit the teamwork gym!
Learn how to build a healthy team! We'll develop a shared understanding of responsibilities, team goals, how you work together, and our relationship with other teams. With just four simple exercises, you can bring your team in shape to become more productive and innovative. So let's pump...you up!
Developer Joy - How great teams get s%*t doneSven Peters
Join Sven and learn how great software teams measure and improve their developer experience, coordinate work across teams, run autonomous but highly aligned teams, and create a healthy and joyful engineering culture. Always backed up by data (not driven) instead of opinions.
The talk will demonstrate how great teams faced development challenges, reinvented themselves, and created new ways of working to get s%*t done. Without losing sight of what makes this craft fun for engineers.
We all know it and hate it — the dreaded “status meeting.” They’re great when it’s a small team, but they don’t scale and become a waste of time. In this session, we’ll show how to use Confluence and Atlas to keep teams in sync, async, while empowering them to continue using the apps that let them thrive.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to a Great Developer CareerSven Peters
As developers, our job is to write great code, test code, deploy code, fix code, and even delete code, but nobody told us that there is much more to it if we want to have a great developer career.
In this talk, Sven and Helen will share their successes and failures during their 20-year careers to date working for various technology companies. You’ll learn about growing your personal brand (what is it good for?), the trials and tribulations of different roles (so many choices), becoming a manager (or not), mentoring and sponsoring (they are not the same thing), how to care for yourself (prevent burnout), and lots more career advice.
You'll hear about their inevitable bumps in the road (or downright failures), as well as their successes. As it turns out, having a great developer career is not all about the technology and the code; it's also about you and the people around you!
The Effective Developer - Work Smarter, not HarderSven Peters
We’re agile, we’re doing DevOps, we work in cross-functional teams, and we use the latest developer pipeline tooling. With all those methodologies and technologies we should be highly effective, right? Probably not. Most of us still struggle with balancing coding speed and quality, working on the stuff that really makes a difference, and feeling constantly stressed by all the things we should learn.
Effective developers don’t just write clean, simple, and robust code. They also have a strong understanding of the entire development process and the problem that needs to be solved. They take time to learn, practice, and play.
Learn how those developers build effective coding habits, think about the outcome first, reserve time for deep work, and much more. You’ll walk away from this talk with lots of ideas on how to work smarter, not harder.
With all conferences going virtual this year, it's easier than ever to give a presentation: no travel days and no hotel costs. So how do you convince the organizers of an event that you're the right person with the right topic?
MongoDB veteran speakers Lauren Schaefer and Sven Peters have spoken at over 300 events and will share their tips and tricks and how to avoid pitfalls when submitting a proposal to speak at a conference.
In this workshop, you'll learn how to identify a topic that is perfect for both you and the conference, create a compelling title, and write a convincing abstract. And don't worry—you don't need to have tons of experience in public speaking to land your first gig.

Learn how those developers build effective coding habits, think about the outcome first, reserve time for deep work, and much more. You’ll walk away from this talk with lots of ideas on how to work smarter, not harder.
Remote work is offering lots of great benefits: access to a larger talent pool, freedom, working in pyjamas, and much more. So why are so many companies failing with remote work or hesitate to give it a try?
Sven works remotely for more than 7 years and will share 5 things how you and your distributed team can be more productive, happier, and feel more fulfilled while working remotely. You'll hear about practices like code review etiquettes, video conference rules, share-it-or-it-didn’t-happen guidelines, and much more. Learn how to best set up your office, how to keep connections with co-workers, and which tools works best in order to rock remote work.
Whether you’re just starting out in Confluence, or working in it every day, join Sven to discover the “hacks” that will maximize your productivity and make work flow more seamlessly.
Transform your content and learn the keyboard shortcuts, layout tricks, automation, and customizations that will make creating beautiful spaces and pages a breeze.
Less Process, more Guidance with a Team PlaybookSven Peters
Teams are different, projects are different, problems are different. Why are we still trying to squeeze teamwork into department processes, adding bureaucracy, and having organizational layers that makes it harder and much slower to get work done?
Join Sven Peters, former lead evangelist at Atlassian now K15t, as he talks about creating a Team Playbook by collecting practices from all teams in an organizations. No end-to-end process, no strict development rules, just some guidelines. You’ll learn tons of plays like goal setting with OKRs, decision making with DACIs, team improvements with health monitors, finding risks with premortem’s, and many more.
This talk will teach you how to utilize a playbook for more autonomy by providing teams with the freedom to pick what works in their environment.
Every software team writes code, but some teams produce fewer bugs than others. Every software team creates new features, but some teams develop them faster than others. What do high performance teams do differently, and why are team members more focused, satisfied and relaxed? They truly work together. No 10x rockstar programmer can achieve what a well rounded, enthusiastic team can.
Sven examines how the best software teams set and follow goals, integrate new members fast, ensure diversity, monitor and continually improve team health, embrace transparency, use a playbook to guide them through every phase of development and much more. He shares techniques including: bugfix rotations, OKRs, feature buddies, open demos, focus days and many more that help teams and team members to work more effectively together, and produce awesome results.
Rise of the Machines - Automate your DevelopmentSven Peters
When we talk about automation in software development, we immediately think of automated builds and deployments. We may also be using scripts to help make our daily work easier. But this is really just the beginning of the rise of the machines.
I show you how leading developers in our industry are using open source and commercial tools for automating much more. They've got "robots" for monitoring production servers, updating issues, supporting customers, reviewing code, setting up laptops, doing development reporting, conducting customer feedback -- even automating daily standups. In what instances is it useful to automate? In what cases does it not make sense? Automation prevents us from having to do the same thing twice, helps us to work better together, reduces workflow errors and frees up time to write production code. Plus, as it turns out, spending time on automation is fun! Don't be afraid of robots in software development, embrace them! Even if I save you just half an hour a week, this talk will be a beneficial investment of your time.
One day we woke up and realized that our days are filled with all kind of stuff unrelated to code or product, that our goals are driven by product owners, and that our code design is dictated by architects trying to tell us how we should solve problems. A strong coding culture gives the power back to the developer to concentrate on one thing: Create awesome stuff!
Imagine a culture where the input of the whole organization turns an individual idea into a user story in just a couple of hours; where everybody's goal is to make the customer awesome, and where you work on stuff you love instead stuff you loathe. A great coding culture concentrates on making developers productive and happy by removing unnecessary overhead, bringing autonomous teams together, helping the individual programmer to innovate, and raising the awareness among the developers to create better code.
I will talk about how to establish and foster a strong engineering-focused culture that scales from a small team to a huge organization with hundreds of developers. I'll give lots of examples from our experience at Atlassian to show that once you're working in a great coding culture, you won't want to work anywhere else.

It's the culture, but not as you know itSven Peters
People often start companies with a smart team and great product ideas. But as companies grows, some leaders tend to forget that it's not the product and services that made them successful – it's the culture. Culture may actually be harder to build than any product, but your organization can benefit in every way if you end up with a great one.
Sven works for Atlassian, an Australian software company that grew from 8 to 800 people in the last 10 years. He will share successes – and struggles – with bringing new people into a strong company culture, how culture is upheld in distributed teams, how your team can maintain its core culture, and why innovation and fun should be part of every company's culture.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
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).

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.
