Wether you're dabbling with Drupal on the side, or using it as a professional, you're not alone. There are many Drupal lovers like you. There's a community! It's this awesome group of people who are building, maintaining, discussing, writing about,... Drupal. The Drupal community is a cool place to be involved in. But how does one get started? Where does one begin? There are so many aspects and the Drupal project is so large. It's not easy to dive in and contribute.
In this session, I'll introduce you to some of the more practical aspects of how to hit it off in the community. I'll be talking about questions such as:
What is the Drupal community?
Where do I find other Drupal minded people?
How does one contribute Drupal modules & themes?
What is the Issue queue? How do I use the issue queue to my and your benefit?
How can I contribute to Drupal core?
What are the benefits of combining community & company?
...
Matthias has been involved with Drupal since version 5 back in 2008. He's been living Drupal ever since. He tries to contribute code, issues & knowledge on a regular basis.
You're definitely a Drupal rockstar! But you don't know it. Yet. Attending DrupalCamp might be you're first step to fame and glory.

Dan Alexander (NEKLS), Heather Braum (NEKLS), and Erin Downey Howerton (Wichita Public Library) presented at the 2013 Kansas Library Conference in Topeka on maker culture.
Session description: Maker culture, maker spaces, and content creation are new movements in libraries -- or are they? People have always created, with the help of library resources. The maker movement in libraries goes much further than resources by providing space, tools, mentors, more resources, and even programming to help people make and create even more! Public libraries have been the main focus of maker spaces, but school and academic libraries can also participate! This session will provide a brief primer on the maker movement and its culture, showcase how libraries are developing maker programming and spaces in their libraries, explain why libraries should embrace this movement, and how you can do it -- with plenty of resources to help!

Are you new to the world of Ruby on Rails, trying to find a way to break in? Are you an experienced developer from the .NET or Java world trying to find a way to break out?
Two years ago, I was in a management role with a medical device company, moving slowly away from something I love, writing software. My experience was heavy on the embedded and desktop side, primarily in C#, with little web experience.
I loved TDD and agile, but didn't find much love for XP practices in those communities. I had heard a lot about how these ideas were valued in the Ruby community but how was I going to break in.
This talk will go into some of the things I did to gain a toehold. Along the way, we'll talk about fear, imposter syndrome, leveling up your skills, and getting involved in the community. We'll also talk about some of the roadblocks you will face and some unspoken, and not so unspoken, negative aspects of the industry.

Designer As Founder: Class One Intro to Lean Startup & Business Model GenerationChristina Wodtke
I've begun teaching a class at CCA called Designer as Founder. Having made that transition myself, and with the rise of The Designer Fund and designer as key advantage being touted by folks like 500 startups, it's time for designers to become full partners in the relationship with engineers and business folks. Thus I'm teaching using the Lean Launchpad as a base. This is the first of what will be a series. This class is VERY lecture-light, so see blog posts on eleganthack.com for full information.

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.
