Identifying and discouraging negative self-talk is a simple thing, but it can have a huge impact on your community in a positive way. It increases self-confidence, improves morale, and generally results in happier, more productive community participants. This, in turn, will make you happy.
Negative self-talk is a pervasive, invasive, and unproductive way of thinking. It can trigger a cascade of things, from abandoned patches (“I am not smart/talented/good enough to figure this out”), to withdrawl from the community (“I screwed this up and everyone knows and hates me”), to general discouragement (“I suck, and have nothing valuable to contribute here”).
In this talk, I discuss the various methods Dreamwidth and other organizations use to handle negative self-talk, and the best way to deploy those techniques. I also discuss things to keep an eye out for in your community that may be at the root of this type of self-talk, and processes you can go through to eliminate them. Finally, there's a quick overview of impostor syndrome, and the role it plays here.

In many of our daily interactions, the word “feedback” seems aptly named. Technically, it is the “return of a signal through an electronic circuit causing a high-pitched screeching noise”. Unless you’re a bat, the screech is hardly a delight to the ears. And so it is for many of the feedback that we get from people who, by right, are supposed to be on our side… friends, lovers, colleagues at work. And if a lot of the feedback we get from well-meaning persons is like a “high-pitched screeching noise”, what about the feedback that we give to them? How good are we at giving feedback? In this article the Author offers some useful tips in providing constructive feedback. They are distilled into the acronym, CAIRN.

The Feedback Loop: How to Create a Culture of Feedback
Giving, receiving, asking for, and acting on feedback well are some of the most-valued – yet difficult to master – skills for any manager. After years of research across hundreds of companies in 25+ countries, Claire Lew, CEO of Know Your Team, shares the playbook for how the most effective managers create a culture of feedback within their teams.
DNA testing has become the "gold standard" of forensics, but linking an item of evidence to a person of interest isn't always clear cut. New open source tools allow DNA analysts to give statistical weight to evidentiary profiles that were previously unusable, letting juries weigh the evidence for themselves. This talk will discuss the Lab Retriever software package for probabilistic genotyping.
How We Learned To Stop Worrying And Love (or at least live with) GitHubdreamwidth
When Dreamwidth made its public debut in 2009, our code base was housed in a self-hosted Mercurial repository, and we used Bugzilla to track issues and feature requests. In 2012, we switched over to using GitHub for our code repository, but continued to use Bugzilla instead of GitHub’s issue tracker. There were a few reasons we were reluctant to switch:
We needed to be open to drop-in contributors. Most of our submissions come from Dreamwidth users who are making their first open source contributions. GitHub is geared more toward full-time contributors who work on multiple projects.
Bugzilla provided greater flexibility. It was relatively straightforward to customize our installation with the various fields, tags, and labels that worked best for our workflow and made searching for related items easier.
Some of our open issues needed to be kept private for security reasons, and only made visible to a small group of trusted developers. Bugzilla made that as easy as selecting a checkbox.
But on one fateful day in early 2014, disaster struck: the virtual server that housed our Bugzilla database was deleted, with no backups. Since we were being forced to start over from scratch with our issue tracker, and because our code was already on GitHub, it made sense to move the rest of our workflow onto GitHub as well.
The major problem we had out of the gate with GitHub’s issue tracker was with permissions. We wanted our users to be able to categorize and assign themselves to open issues without granting them commit access. To solve this problem, we developed an automated monitoring system that would take actions based on the content of comments.
During the course of our talk, we will cover the basics of the system we have developed. We believe it will provide a helpful example for other open source projects, especially any projects that might have started with only one or two active contributors and now have a larger team to manage. We’ll also talk about how we addressed the workflow issues that made us reluctant to quit using Bugzilla in the first place.

When your code is nearly old enough to votedreamwidth
As time marches on, more and more FLOSS projects are reaching ages that qualify them as 'venerable'. On the one hand, that rich history of constant improvement provides a robust framework upon which to build. On the other hand, that can lead to sections of the code marked "here be dragons" that haven't been touched in this millennium, and the ever-accelerating speed of technology's march can leave you with a balance-sheet of technical debt that would make anyone quail.
This talk is a case study of Dreamwidth Studios, forked in 2008 from LiveJournal.com, a project that began in 1999. With a quarter-million lines of legacy Perl, it's been hard to decide what to modernize and what to leave alone. Come hear our successes, our failures, and a few horror stories of disasters we've stumbled into along the way.
Slytherin 101: How to Win Friends and Influence Peopledreamwidth
Do you wish that you were better at getting people to do what you need them to do? Do you keep getting put in charge of things and then get stuck wondering how the heck you're supposed to get things done? Do you keep getting into conflicts with other people because of stuff you've said, and you aren't entirely sure why?
Fortunately, Slytherin House has you covered. Come to this talk and learn the basics of how to hack human relationships, using the tools of cunning and ambition to achieve inter-House harmony. As long as you promise not to use these techniques to support the next Dark Lord, of course.
Keeping your culture afloat through a tidal wavedreamwidth
How do you keep a project’s culture true to its core principles when it’s faced with overwhelming interest? In this talk, Azz and Kat draw from experience as early adopters of the Dreamwidth project, both from observing the founders build the culture they wanted to have, and their contributing roles in encouraging the culture in the face of a sudden surge of interest.
Google's Go is a relatively new systems programming language that has recently gained a lot of traction with developers. It brings together the ease and efficiency of development in modern interpreted languages like Python, Perl, and Ruby with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language like C/C++ and Java.
On top of that, Go is a language built for modern hardware and problems. With built-in support for concurrency, programmers can easily build software to scale up to today's many-core beasts. Programming in Go is really nice, and in this tutorial, you will learn why.
We will cover an introduction to the Go programming language, and together we will build a multi-user network service demonstrating all of the major principles of programming in Go.
User Created Content: Maintain accessibility in content you don't controldreamwidth
Social Media sites and Learning Management Systems rely on end-users, not web developers, to create the content at the heart of the site. How can we design our interfaces to encourage users to create usable, accessible content? Can we train our users without annoying them or driving them away? What tools can we give them to make it easier for them to create the best content? Whether we have professors using Moodle or Sakai to create coursework for students, or bloggers communicating on Diaspora, identi.ca, or Dreamwidth, we want it to be easy for our users to create content every bit as accessible and usable as we would create ourselves.
Volunteers make open source projects go. This talk discusses how to attract volunteers, what to do once you have, and how to keep them happy once you've got them.
You know it's important for your web project to be accessible to people who use all kinds of assistive technology to access the internet. But all the guidelines for web accessibility you can find don't go much beyond "make sure all your images have alt text", and all the resources you can find treat "accessibility" as a synonym for "making your site work in a screen reader". You know there are other things you should be doing and other forms of assistive technology you should be accomodating, but all the best practices documents are a complicated morass of contradicting information (if you can find best practices documents at all.)
Have no fear! This tutorial gives you a number of concrete steps to take to make things more accessible.
This presentation has downloadable notes and exercises available at http://denise.dreamwidth.org/tag/a11y . Video of the talk should be available later.
Build Your Own Contributors, One Part At A Timedreamwidth
Dreamwidth Studios, a code fork of the LiveJournal open source blogging software, averages 50 commits a week from over 65 unique contributors. Over half of those contributors have either never programmed in Perl or never contributed to an Open Source project before, and roughly 75% of those contributors are women.
Mark Smith and Denise Paolucci, owners of Dreamwidth Studios, discuss the tactics they've used to make their project successful, and how other projects can implement the same.

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

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
