How to Bridge the Generational Gap For a More Productive Workplace - Vaness...SocialHRCamp
People are discussing the impact that millenials (a.k.a. digital natives) are having on the world of work. Some
say digital natives are lazy, entitled and lack focus. Others comment on the clash between digital natives and
their colleagues not born into the digital era (digital immigrants).
In her documentary film "Beyond the Digital Divide: Bridging the generational gap for a more productive workplace", Vanessa will explore these issues.
In this workshop, participants will:
- Watch the documentary
- Learn how digital natives are impacting the world of work
- Understand what organizations need to do to bridge the gap between digital natives and digital immigrants at work
- Know what digital natives value and why their input is critical to the future of work
- Develop their own action plan to bridge the digital divide
What does the perfect facilitator look like? In this presentation you will get tools to act as a facilitator / moderator in a meeting or at a Conference.
People are more complex than computers - Mairead O'Connor Equal ExpertsMairead O'Connor
Equal Experts is a consultancy founded and run by software people. We try to take the principles we use when building products and apply them to building a company. In just over a decade we’ve grown to a 1500 person network with many great clients. We’ve learned that there are some cultural challenges you can successfully apply an engineering mindset to, but some things are harder than they first appear! Join me to learn about how we’re trying to be a different sort of company. We’re challenging traditional ways of working; we question the standard practices of hierarchical management, performance appraisals, approvals, annual budgets, etc. Instead, we’re using concepts like iterative, user-centred design, microservices, ‘devops’, monitoring and alerting and plenty of other buzzwords du jour to try to create a better place to work.

How to make team collaboration suck less!Brian LaMee
Working with people can sometimes suck. You know how it goes, you have to get a team together, you hold countless (or pointless) meetings, nobody knows what the tasks are and who was supposed to do what, nobody can find the right documents or the right version and nobody can access any of the tools to share documents when you need them. This is usually the point where you just throw your hands up and scream, “FORGET IT, I WILL JUST DO IT MYSELF!”
But for most things, you can’t do it all by yourself. You need to collaborate with other members of your team, or other teams in the company or maybe even people outside your organization. Tools have always helped us make things suck less. The airplane made it suck less to get across the ocean, calculators made it suck less to do complex mathematical calculations and now the Cloud and Collaboration tools are making it suck less to work on projects and stay connected as teams.

Javantura v7 - Learning to Scale Yourself: The Journey from Coder to Leader - Daniel Strmečki
Your success depends on others, a 1-man army can only achieve so much. The only way to progress from coder to leader is to learn how to scale yourself. Nowadays, you can become a Senior Developer with just a few years of experience. After that, there are many roads and possibilities you can take. Whether you decide for a developer, architect, manager or a mixed career, at one point, you will need to become a leader. In the first chapter of the lecture we will start a discussion on how to get there. Since your time is limited, you need to mentor, coach, motivate and engage others. Start with making a stable foundation, like setting up a proper onboarding process. If you help people around you, they will for sure talk about it, and your manager will hear it. Also, demonstrate ability in everyday work: coding, project management, client-focus, communication and care about others. Always stick to your values and keep high standards. In the second chapter we will discuss the challenges that turn up once you get there. At that point you will deal with people more than technology. You will need to step away from coding for meetings very often. Interruptions will happen every day and it we be very hard to maintain “the flow”. You will need to learn how to delegate and drive topics without implementing them yourself. Visit the lecture to find out some techniques for dealing with interruptions, meetings, prioritization, people and their motivation.
Above all, the project manager is responsible for ensuring that everyone is on the same page. This is accomplished mostly by remaining current with the project schedule and disseminating it on a regular basis, as well as by taking notes after all meetings to verify that everyone heard the same thing and is completely aware of all assignments and choices made.

How to Effectively Work with Remote TeamsUntangl, LLC.
Solution design meetings are forums where team members have an opportunity to discuss risks, constraints, conditions and requirements which relate to developing product features.
This presentation contains an introduction to solution design meetings. Why you should have them frequently, the benefits you will get, and tools you may use to effectively streamline your discussions.
The outcome is deeper understanding of what is expected to be built, and why we’re building a particular solution. Having a co-located team is not alway realistic, and it's not a simple task to manage remote teams. The goal is to improve remote team collaboration and effectively communicate solutions to identified user-centric problems.
This is a work in progress presentation and will be updated frequently. Feel free to share this deck with your team!

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.

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!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.
