This document provides information on how to contribute to Drupal 8. It discusses that a contribution can be anything that adds value to a project like code, documentation, or support. Drupal's founder Dries Buytaert has said he wants to see more companies contribute to Drupal core. The document outlines reasons to contribute such as learning, gaining experience, expanding your reach, and getting credits on Drupal.org. It recommends attending sprints as a good way to start contributing as experienced contributors can provide help. Tips for a first sprint include not expecting to achieve everything and asking for novice tasks. Links are provided to resources on patching, documentation, groups, and events.

The Recipe to Getting Attendees to your Open Source Events
With the growth of open source comes the need for more conferences, meetups and hackathons - you name it! These events give community members the opportunity to interact face-to-face to solve problems, come up with new ideas, or even just to chat and get to know each other better. But, the question is – how do we get developers, users and contributors from open source communities to these events? In this session, we’ll learn useful tips and best practices on how to get attendees to your open source conferences and meetups. Karen will go over a 3-step process; how to setup your events, how to promote the events and what to do after the events.

Please Don't Start Another Blog or Podcast!Tim Farley
There is a great wealth of skeptical content on the web, and it is constantly growing. New skeptics wanting to get involved often choose blogging or podcasting as a "default" way to get involved. In this SkeptiCamp Atlanta 2011 presentation, I recommend against that and suggest at least eight other online activities instead.
Audio is available in Skepticality #158 Return to Lake Skepticamp. (Note: I fixed the seven/eight typo you will hear mentioned in the audio in these slides).

E-learning and instructional design toolboxDavid Swaddle
What tools do people use to put together great training and eLearning?
11 presenters discussed 14 tools that they use to plan, design and build great training - face-to-face, blended and eLearning. They steered clear of the 'usual suspects' and introduced people to some niche tools they may not have come across before.
David Swaddle capped the evening off by quickly explaining additional tools that Sydney based learning professionals were relatively unaware of.
If you want to find some new tools to spice up your training, then take 10 minutes to have a look. Even better, join the MeetUp group (if you're in Sydney) and join us in person.

Communities for code - What can engineering leaders learn from Open Source co...Brett Porter
There are some traits that are shared by successful open source projects aside from the interesting technical space they occupy. Those that grow (and last) give individuals a sense of ownership, openly collaborate on technical direction and peer review, and make it easy for new starters to contribute. They build a community around a codebase which often results in better quality and a longer lifespan, and do this while overcoming challenges of being geographically distributed and having members with competing interests and different personalities.
There are lessons that we can take from Open Source communities to encourage engineering teams to build well together, with the end game being well-engineered, approachable software and a sense of satisfaction and growth for engineers.

It's All About the Experience: What I’ve learnt from talking to thousands of ...Suzanne Dergacheva
Use cases for Drupal are changing and so are criteria for selecting a web development platform. This is a challenge for the community as well as individuals and companies that use Drupal. We can learn a lot by looking at the Drupal experience from different perspectives and thinking about the personas of people who interact with Drupal.
I’ll talk about what we can learn from design thinking and user experience techniques, and what I’ve learnt from talking to new Drupal users and teaching Drupal. And I’ll share my thoughts about how we can adapt our approach and mindset to make Drupal relevant to our clients, colleagues, and communities.
Drupal - Changing the Web by Connecting Open Minds - DrupalCamp North 2015dasjo
The web is constantly changing, new ideas pop up, get immediately realised. Drupal, as one of the leading platforms in web development today, enables millions of people across the planet to create innovative web experiences. Both as Software and equally important as a community, we have come a long way implementing best practices in our project.
With the upcoming release of Drupal 8, we are finally getting off the island and open up to the wider PHP community. We adopt Symfony components, libaries like Guzzle and well established software design patterns like dependency injection for better interoperability and quality of the platform.
In this session, I will share my personal view on why Drupal as a platform is so relevant, how does such a large-scale open source project work and how can we as individuals participate and even contribute to the project.
Running a Successful Open Source ProjectRob Reynolds
So you are interested in having your own open source (FOSS or FLOSS) project or you are currently managing your own. You want to see more use of your project in the community and you want to see it grow. Running a successful open source project or really any community project in general takes several key ingredients. Join Rob while he teaches what he has learned from running two successful projects and working on another.
A discussion about various techniques and mechanisms for generating revenue in and around open source projects.
This presentation uses the Cake Software Foundation (http://cakefoundation.org) who own the rights to the CakePHP framework (http://cakephp.org) as an example, and how a separate company (Cake Development Corporation http://cakedc.com) works with the Cake Software Foundation, but as a separate entity to generate money, and pay employees to with with and on open source software.
Lessons Learned From Scaling An Open Source Community By 10,000%Angela Byron
Drupal—an open source CMS—has grown from a small student hobby project to an enterprise-grade digital experience platform running ~3% of the Internet. This talk will explore the many lessons learned (most of them the hard way ;)) in navigating an international open source developer community through various scalability challenges.
Topics covered will include:
* Contributor On-Boarding: Some clever and participatory ways to help new folks bootstrap quickly and feel included
* Community Health: How to account for—and encourage—contributors stepping away? How to develop new leadership to take their place?
* Project Sustainability: How to incentivize commercial sponsorship of open source contributions without selling your soul
* Governance: What pain points emerge as you scale, what strategies help solve them, and how to “right size” your solutions at the right time?
* When Sh*t Hits The Fan: How do you handle a project fork? What if you need to remove a high profile contributor? Been there, done that; let my trauma be your guide. ;)
* Community Bootstrapping: What if you’re *not* a project with 100K+ contributors and 2M+ users? How do you build your first 100 / 1,000 / 100K?
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.
