WTF - Why the Future Is Up to Us - pptx versionTim O'Reilly
This is the talk I gave January 12, 2017 at the G20/OECD Conference on the Digital Future in Berlin. I talk about fitness landscapes as applied to technology and business, the role of unchecked financialization in the state of our politics and economy, and why technology really wants to create jobs, not destroy them. (There is a separate PDF version, but some readers said the notes were too fuzzy to read.)
Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You ShouldOReillyWhere20
The misuse of technology is not a new topic (guns don't kill people, people with guns do) and I am certainly not the first person to consider this in the context of geospatial/GIS. With all the great conference sessions on geospatial technologies and how to exploit them, this "non-GIS" geo-community could stand to review what we are doing, not just how we are doing it.
One review from the recent SXSW (South by Southwest) conference described geo-fencing as the 'next generation of geolocation'; as if geo-fencing were some cutting-edge technique. In the days of old-school GIS, your friendly analyst and his arsenal of oh-so-very-special software was the gatekeeper to geospatial data analysis. Those shackles are now off. What might people produce without an understanding of GIS concepts such as analysis across geographic scales, choosing appropriate data classification methods or even the implications of (gasp!) geo-fencing?
The current job market demands geospatial software developers, yet university GIS programs are slow to produce them. Is the GIS Professional no longer needed or will they find a new place as geo-data scientists in the emerging field of Big Data Analysis?
This is the original keynote file for my talk at the Smart Disclosure Summit in Washington DC on March 30, 2012. I will upload a PDF with notes separately.
What Android Can Learn from Steve JobsTim O'Reilly
A meditation on Jobs' quote that design is an expression of the "fundamental soul" of a human creation. What is the fundamental soul of Google, and how should it be reflected in Android?
Finite State Machines are overlooked at best, ignored at worst, and virtually always dismissed. This is tragic since FSMs are not just about Door Locks (the most commonly used example). On the contrary, these FSMs are invaluable in clearly defining communication protocols – ranging from low-level web-services through complex telephony application to reliable interactions between loosely-coupled systems. Properly using them can significantly enhance the stability and reliability of your systems.
Join me as I take you through a crash-course in FSMs, using erlang’s gen_fsm behavior as the background, and hopefully leaving you with a better appreciation of both FSM and erlang in the process.

Digital analytics & privacy: it's not the end of the worldOReillyStrata
This presentation starts by revisiting the common best practices related to digital analytics in order to measure digital asset’s effectiveness to increase conversion, common data feeds between tools and possibly data flows between continents for analysis.
These practices are then put in parallel with legal requirements, showing which steps need to be undertaken to assure legal compliance of said practices, how digital responsibles should be trained in data protection matters and what contracts are needed with both data providers & collectors so as to assure minimal liability for these routinely undertaken tasks.
This presentation is NOT about security and goes beyond the over-blown cookie debate in order to highlight how the upcoming EU Personal Data Protection Regulation will influence digital analytics to hopefully start embracing Privacy by Design ways of working.

Mobilité partagée, un enjeu d'innovation dans un système global de transportPierre-Olivier Desmurs
Contraintes budgétaires des ménages, congestion et pollution des villes, essor des services de partage ... autant de tendances qui déjà en 2012 interrogeaient l'industrie automobile sur la pertinence de son modèle à l'ère de l'usage.

A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is doing the smallest possible thing in order to learn. You'll make the least amount of effort to get the maximum amount of validated customer learning. The road to launching a web or mobile application usually starts with the creation of a minimum viable product (MVP).
A MVP is more than a prototype but less than a fully-featured app and can help you engage a particular audience, such as potential investors, strategic partners, hires, or test users.
Determining what features should be included in or excluded from your MVP is a critical task with major ramifications.

Flow Engines - Hack The Way You Work, Not The Time You HaveJohn V Willshire
A version of the talk I gave at the Happy Startup Summercamp 2014, about the creation of Flow Engines, a way to help yourself work at a faster rate by getting more quickly into a flow state using Artefact Cards (http://artefactshop.com/). I've added additional commentary and explanation.
