The Talent You Need is Already Inside Your Company
Damon Edwards, Co-Founder, SimplifyOps, Inc
“Buy vs Build” is a decision made all throughout an enterprise. We vigorously debate either position when it comes to our technology and tools. But what about our people? Conventional wisdom holds that, if an enterprise seeks a transformation, it must go into “buy” mode and acquire as much talent as possible from the outside. However, in reality this is an expensive strategy with a low success rate. Putting aside the obvious problem of there being a very limited number of “the best” to spread across an entire industry, the “buy” strategy is still largely based on hope. You hope that the new people will bring the right ideas that will automatically spread. You hope that the new people will have experience that can be translated to your business. But, more often than not, the hope of the income new is undermined and overwhelmed by the same systemic issues that caused your current problems. This talk is about a tactical set of actions that leaders can take to find and fix their company’s systemic issues. If you fix the system, you’ll be able to de-risk the new. If you fix the system, you’ll find a truth that just isn’t discussed: the talent you need to succeed is already inside your company.

DevOps by Design -- Practical Guide to Effectively Ushering DevOps into Any O...Dana Gardner
Transcript of a Briefings Direct discussion on some powerful best practices on making DevOps an accelerant to broader business goals, but at the level of a multigenerational IT activity.
Development to Operations (DevOps) is driving a profound impact on the global IT sector. IT vendors that realize DevOps’ full potential are more agile in providing new products and services under the label “DevOps inside” at an ever increasing pace. With the growing number of product choices, conflicting definitions and competing services, you may often encounter confusion while making complex decisions, delaying time to market. You at times may be unsure about how to deploy DevOps and get the most out of the solutions and tools available. Are you looking to master the DevOps "Fog?"
Learn new and trending innovations through the success of others during this informative session, and about tools and practices in the VMware world that will lead you to competitive advantage.

Why are so many organizations stuck in the "middle" of DevOps evolution? What's preventing them from achieving higher levels of organizational performance despite all the automation, tooling, and good practices in place?
Puppet's State of DevOps Report 2021 provides important research-based clues to answer these questions, supported by the patterns and recommendations in Team Topologies.
In this talk we cover the self-imposed limitations of blindly following some “myths” around DevOps. Almost 80% of organizations are stuck in the "frozen middle" of DevOps evolution because of lack of organizational sensemaking abilities. The margin for growth for these organizations is tremendous, but they need to think beyond technical capabilities to unlock the potential of their teams to deliver with more autonomy and a sense of purpose.
The data shows that Team Topologies provides the necessary organizational and team interaction patterns that help organizations achieve performance metrics such as delivering a new customer change request to live in under one hour, or diagnosing and recovering from a serious issue in production in under an hour.

Top 5 Challenges in Scaling DevOps in Brownfield EnvironmentsDeborah Schalm
Many believe that DevOps is primarily for greenfield projects. But, in order to compete enterprises must scale DevOps to utilize new technology solutions while maximizing the value of their current investments in critical IT infrastructure and business applications. Join Gary Gruver, well known DevOps leader and author, and Mark Levy, Director of Strategy at Micro Focus as they discuss the main challenges facing large enterprises as they try to scale DevOps across their brownfield environments.
Ensuring Cloud Native Success: The Greenfield JourneyVMware Tanzu
Speaker: Coté, Director, Technical Marketing, Pivotal
Are you being asked to put more cloud in your strategy? If you’re like most people, the answer is a definite yes. The word “cloud” can mean so many things, however, that making an actionable strategy is impossible. At Pivotal, we divide cloud into two distinct parts: migrating as many legacy applications into SaaS as possible and focusing on perfecting the software you build in-house that runs your business. Gartner is predicting that by 2020, 75% of applications used to support digital businesses will be built in-house. If you’re one of these companies, you’ll need to quickly evaluate how you develop and run your custom written software.
We believe that soon, every company will either be a software company or losing to a competitor who is. It’s time to focus on the craft of managing the software development life-cycle, and this brief, but dense webinar will help launch your efforts to become a software defined business.

Mike Bland, Practice Director, 18F
Technology is always the easiest part of any problem. This was true of Google in 2005, when Mike Bland joined the Testing Grouplet’s effort to drive adoption of automated testing throughout a highly successful company as its organization and systems increased in complexity at an alarming and unstoppable rate. This was true in late 2013, when the Healthcare.gov crisis led to a stunningly successful recovery after private industry experts were given clearance to fix the technical issues. It is also true of the U.S federal government today, as Mike has joined 18F as part of the effort to modernize how software is developed and procured, and to steer the culture towards maximum transparency, autonomy and collaboration. This talk will outline Mike’s experiences at Google that shaped his outlook and honed his organizational skills, and describe his efforts to capitalize on the opportunity produced by the Healthcare.gov recovery to effect broad cultural change throughout the federal government.

PMI Thailand: DevOps / Roles of Project Manager (20-May-2020)Gonzague PATINIER
DevOps seems to be the latest ‘buzzword’ and trend in the IT industry. This is driven by business needs for ever-faster deployment of new functionality and frustrations with the time and effort it takes to get new systems into operations. It is no longer a question of ‘should we adopt DevOps’, but ‘when and how’?
DevOps represents a significant cultural and behavioral change and many organizations fail to address this in their adoption. Gartner defines DevOps as a change in IT culture, focusing on rapid IT service delivery through the adoption of agile, lean practices in the context of a system-oriented approach. These culture changes include organization changes, impacting structure, roles and responsibilities.
What and where is the role of the project manager in organizations that have transitioned towards adopting DevOPs? Join us and let’s discuss DevOps and answer your questions followed by an informative discussion.

A 2012 slide presentation for Brookings Digital Government seminar on how State Department and other agencies apply digital media. Also shows personal usage of LinkedIn, BlogTalkRadio, Box.net and others for professional networking and career development.
With the rate of innovation coming from Microsoft these days, many organizations are struggling to understand which tools and capabilities to use, and when to use them. The fact is: different teams work in different ways. Within the modern digital workplace, there are many different “modalities” of collaboration — and the companies that understand and meet the evolving needs of their end users will have a competitive advantage.
This presentation reprises a keynote presentation given at the European SharePoint Conference (Nov 2016) in Vienna, Austria by Office Server and Services MVPs Christian Buckley from Beezy and Benjamin Niaulin from Sharegate as they discuss real-world scenarios and management considerations of the three primary collaboration modalities: document and process-centric (SharePoint), email-centric (Exchange and Groups), and social-centric (Yammer, Skype for Business) -- and how Beezy can meet the various needs of these modalities.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

products around these technologies.
• This is work in progress!

recent innovation,
designed to do the
things that
individuals cannot
easily do on their
own.

9. □ A group needs only two
things to be a tribe: a shared
interest and a way to
communicate.
Human beings can’t help it:
we need to belong. One of
the most powerful of our
survival mechanisms is to be
part of tribe, to contribute to
(and take from) a group of
like-minded people.
9
10. Great leaders create movements by
empowering the tribe to communicate!
A movement happens when
– people talk to one another,
– when ideas spread within the community
and most of all,
– when peer support leads people to do what they
always knew was the right thing.
Ideas that spread win.
Boring ideas don’t spread.
Boring organizations don’t grow.

someone to achieve
something.
Likewise there is a
reason why I get a
message.

–
My role
–
My Organization
–
My Organization’s Context
–
My Social Networks
–
□ Time
– Date
– Events

CSI-2008
□ He sent me the presentation after I saw him
Norway.
□ He sent me nice note and a poem after Arul was
born!
51
52. Prioritizing Email
□ Which messages do I reply to?
□ When do I respond to messages?
□ What are my patterns of replying to email
messages?
□ MAPS (Message Attention Priority Sequence ):
Which messages must I reply to?
52
53. Virtual Folders relate better to
contexts of Emails
□ Single mail can correspond to multiple
contexts.
Examples of
Context
□ Virtual Folders provides multiple views
• People
over the same email where each view
• Families
corresponds to the context associated
with the email.
• Organization
• Groups etc.
□ For example:
• Geography
An email is sent to the user by person X
• Events working in organization Y.org, which talks
about an upcoming conference.
• Dates
• Parties
The user will see this email in the virtual
folders corresponding to “events”, to X, to
• Meetings etc.
organization Y. And also in “this week” &
“this month” virtual folders.
53
54. Virtual Folders – some dimensions
• Categorization
• Flags
– Sys-Admin messages, Status
– Unseen messages, Messages
addressed only to me, Reports, Technical Issues,
Messages marked for etc.
follow-up etc.
• Alerts and Follow-up
• Time-based
– Feedback Expected
– Today, This Week, This
– High Priority Messages
Month
• Project based folders
• People
• Mailing Lists
– Atul Kulkarni, Arun Jain
• Company’s Internal – VentureWire, ACM Tech
Messages News, DBWorld
– Executive Committee • Geography
– Admin messages – India, Pune,
– HR messages
• Events
• Domain based folders
– ICDE, New year
– IITB, .COM, microsoft.com
54
57. Email – some tenets of our research.
□ Context of the message is more important than
the text in the message Itself.
□ Email is the Executive Desktop
□ Email is Corporate Resource – but it is personal.
□ Search and Navigation go hand in hand.
57
58. Email is good …
… but we need more!
□ Email is asynchronous and very individual
centric.
□ The model encourages personal and
point-to-point interaction.
□ Instant Messengers have become popular
for synchronous collaboration.
□ Newsgroups (NNTP) became popular for
“group mail”
58
69. Document Management/Content Management
□ Document management systems provide centralized
store for corporate content. Features include
– Security
– Access Control
– with ability for classification and categorization,
– search
– Information sharing,
– Versioning,
– Business process automation and
– Controlled Document Lifecycle.
□ Examples of these include Oracle ECM suite, EMC
Documentum, Opentext and open source Drupal.
69
71. Source Control Systems
□ Source control systems are specialized versions of
Document Management Systems.
Example: IBM Rational Clearcase, Visual Studio
Team Systems (VSTS), Subversion etc.
□ These systems are specialized for software
developers and integrate with other development
tools such as
– Bug Tracking Systems
– Compilers and Debuggers
– Profiling Tools
71
72. Forums
□ Forums allow users to post content organized by
topics, typically in the Q&A form.
□ Forums are used to facilitate discussion.
□ Service delivery organizations such as an IT help
desk or HR employee services group use forums
for customer service.
□ Employees ask and answer questions in the
forum, allowing other employees to benefit from
the answers provided and shared to all.
□ Topical forums allow practitioners to share
information with their peers in the open (rather
than in a limited email conversation).
72
73. Forum Examples
□ EllisLab, IBM, Invision Power Services, Jive
Software, Microsoft, Groupee’sUBB.threads,
Jelsoft Enterprises’ vBulletin
□ Many free and open source forum server
solutions are available for download. Low-cost
options are available, ranging from about $100
to $300 per year for a server license. Higher-end
solutions that license per user are available, are
either hosted or downloaded, and can run
$2,000 to $10,000.
