Web content: it’s the meat in the sandwich, not the icing on the cake. So why does planning for useful, usable content get short shrift in the design and development process? Thinking about the content is always left until the last minute, always thought to be “somebody else’s problem.” Teams are forced into crisis mode at the 11th hour, trying to deal with content that arrives too late, doesn't fit in the designs, or fails to live up to user expectations. In this session, User Experience expert Karen McGrane will talk about why we fail to plan for content, and how everyone involved can help make the process run more smoothly.

Making Observability Actionable At Scale - DBS DevConnect 2019Squadcast Inc
Many organisations already possess a vast amount of existing data about production systems. As customer expectations evolve, organisations are often challenged to find more proactive ways of dealing with traditionally reactive incident response activity. In this talk, we discuss approaches to unlock value from this data by making it truly actionable. Understanding production failure modes better, enriching technical and business context effectively, decomposing response activity into shared primitives, actions and workflows, and overall, sharing and augmenting this active knowledge repository on a continuous basis are key takeaways. Through case studies, we'll discuss how we can accomplish this by engineering your observability processes and tooling to work for human-in-the-loop interpretation and response rather than a purely human-reliant strategy.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:

5. Software innovation used to be expensive…
“When I built my first company in 1999 it cost $2.5
million in infrastructure just to get started and
another $2.5 million in team costs to code, launch,
manage, market and sell our software. So it’s not
surprising that typical “A rounds” of venture
capital were $5 to $10 million.”
Mark Suster, GRP Partners
…but what if innovation with software
now cost 90% less than it used to?
9. The way we develop is changing…
7 Traits of Modern Applications
1. Omni-channel clients
2. Deployed on elastic
infrastructure
3. Aggregate discrete services
4. Use managed APIs
5. Integrate open source
software
6. Employ dev-ops techniques
7. Focus on measurable
feedback

13. Building Modern
Applications is hard!
Are you Agile enough?
Do you collect (and incorporate)
rapid feedback?
Can you design useful, usable,
desirable experiences?
Does your infrastructure evolve?
Can you build high quality, multichannel, 5 star apps?

16. Personas Jeremiah is 52 years old and has a lot of
experience as sales representative working for
Acme. His typical day is driving and visiting different
clients. He knows a lot about Acme products and is
glad to share this information with everybody he
meet in his visits.
As he is always on the road he needs to be very
organized with his schedule and sensitive to time
when he is at a specific clinic or hospital. He’s
focused on accomplishing his sales goals for the
month and wants to be home ASAP to enjoy the
end of his day with his family.
He is online most of the time, often through his 3G
phone or his iPad and notebook, but sometimes
inside clinics or hospitals the signal is very low or
even non-existent. A big part of his job is to visit
doctors and see if they need to replace any specific
contact lens in their 'drawers'.
Acme expect him to be more a brand advocate than
just an order taker. They expect him to talk about
products, answer questions, offer new products and
be very proactive in his visits to always try to sell
more product.

manage multi layer
complexity
23. How do you test? In production!
› Test like you deploy – the last
mile is beyond your control
› Issues are hard to replicate in
isolation
› Big data requires storage
› You need to harden your
services
› Delivered via a new
generation of testing tools Not Quite A Simian Army
