How to Redefine Success by Writing Your Own Rules : DareConf 2013Sophie Dennis
The 10 rules that have helped me define success for myself, not by other people's expectations. My talk from @DareConf 2013. Watch the full talk at http://2013.dareconf.com/videos/dennis
What "The Four Agreements" can teach us about avoiding drama in the WordPress community. 1) Be impeccable with your word; 2) Don't take anything personally; 3) Don't make assumptions; 4) Always do your best
Distributed, not Disconnected: Employee Engagement for Remote CompaniesJohn Eckman
Just because your employees don't all come to the same physical location doesn't mean they can be engaged. Distributed teams have needs much like co-located teams, and there are some additional steps you can take to drive employee engagement.
What’s wrong with the traditional approach to requirements definition and how a more proactive, collaborative, prototype and visualization driven approach generates better results.

Disrupt or Decay? 5 Trends Shaping Your BrandJustin Foster
We all see the changes. Internal and external forces pushing and pulling on brands. We see the disintegration of the old ways of doing business - but also the emergence of new ways that encourage collaboration, transparency and deeper connections. As market forces and societal trends shape brands, business leaders have a tremendous opportunity to harness these trends rather than just respond to them.
Brand Strategist and author Justin Foster provides his insights on 5 emerging business trends that are shaping the future of your brand - including your personal brand - and 5 competencies necessary to harness these trends. Relevant to senior executives, marketing teams and entrepreneurs, Justin shares his thoughts on:
• The convergence of leadership, culture and innovation.
• How Social Business impacts every area of business.
• The rise of "Rebellious Traditionalists"
• 5 competencies required for modern branding
• How to leverage your personal brand to elevate your company brand.
This presentation is available as a keynote or a half-day executive retreat.

STOCK MARKET BASEBALL is about technical analysis, understanding stock charts, and chart patterns, and an approach to making money trading stocks in the stock markets and stock exchange by making small percentage gains each day on your trades.
Don't fear the block: Gutenberg is gettin' goodJohn Eckman
As presented at WordCamp NYC on Sept 14th, 2019.
Now that we’re more than six months past the Gutenlaunch, how is the new WordPress editor faring in the real world?
In short, the answer is brilliantly.
In this talk I go through some of the most exciting and interesting developments on and around Gutenberg, including real production examples from our clients as well as others.
We’ll cover core blocks, block libraries, block-aware-themes, and custom blocks.
If you’ve held back from embracing the block, come see why it’s time to start planning your own gutenswitch.
#NoStalking: Advertising & User PrivacyJohn Eckman
As publishers, have we made a Faustian bargain, exchanging revenue for our readers' security & privacy?
How can we shift online advertising (in particular programmatic) to be more compatible with user privacy in the era of the GDPR and the additional privacy laws undoubtedly coming?

#NoStalking: Advertising & User PrivacyJohn Eckman

There's a Reason We Call Them Institutions: Working in Higher Education Witho...John Eckman
I’ve consulted with lots of institutions of higher education. Each was convinced that they were a unique snowflake, and that their challenges could not possibly be understood by any outsider. In fact, I’ve found there’s remarkable similarity across many (though of course not all) campus teams as they strategize, design, develop, and maintain their web presence.
Diffuse Authority
Audience Ambiguity
Site Proliferation & Content Accumulation
Team Turnover: The Revolving Door & The Lifers
Training Insufficiency
For each we’ll talk about what the dysfunction is and what strategies you might use to mitigate its impact.
Working the Open: Open Source in an AgencyJohn Eckman
Why should agencies contribute to and participate in open source projects? How can they benefit from their participation?
Examples from 10up's own Open Source Practice
GDPR FTW, or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Privacy By DesignJohn Eckman
At the start, the web was purely stateless – every request was the beginning (and every response the end) of a new conversation. Then we got cookies, so that servers could remember clients, and SSL so we could share information with servers that wasn't seen by all the servers it passed through en route. These two technologies enabled e-commerce and are so foundational now it is hard to imagine the web without them. The problem is the way we'e evolved the web has been down a path of increasingly aggressive data collection and reduced transparency for users.
We should have always been doing privacy by design, data portability, data transparency, and the right to be forgotten. We should not have become dependent on invasive ad tech and aggregated third-party data; we should not have handed over ownership of our own social graphs and connections so cheaply to private commercial interests.
While many (particularly in the US) may be uncomfortable with the legalistic and regulatory approach, preferring a more laissez-faire, self-governing model for virtually everything, the GDPR can be seen as an opportunity to start doing things right – applying the core principles of privacy by design not just where mandated by regulation but as a standard business practice.
The Blob, the Chunk, & the Block: Structured Content in the Age of GutenbergJohn Eckman
Content strategists distinguish between storing content in unstructured “blobs” and storing content in structured “chunks.” Where do Gutenberg “blocks” fit in? How is Gutenberg-edited content stored, and how do we get the benefits of blocks without going all blobby?
Taking Back What and From Whom?: Imagined Communities and Role of WordPress i...John Eckman
“Taking Back The Open Web” is a bold theme, but every word in that sentence requires some significant unpacking if we’re to agree on a path forward. From whom is the open web being taken back? Who took it from us in the first place? What do we mean by open, and do we really mean “web” here?
Dries’s version of the open web (to which the CFP linked) is a vaguely defined point in the recent past where “the web felt like a free space that belong to everyone.” Anil Dash’s version, which he calls “The Web We Lost” posits a time when the web was about “letting lots of people build innovative new opportunities for themselves” which has been replaced by a system which “continues to make a small number of wealthy people even more wealthy” via “narrow-minded, web-hostile products.” The call for papers for this conference, with a focus on publishers, points to “stress” caused by “proprietary formats which enforce limits and restraints.” There’s even an Open Web Foundation (founded in 2004) dedicated to “open, non-proprietary specifications for web technologies,” to which primary subscribers are Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
Is the conflict between the open web and the (presumably) closed web which opposes it, really about formats? Is it about access and distribution? Is it about a small number of powerful corporate overlords versus inspired, creative small business entrepreneurs?
In this talk I’ll lay out a couple of different ways of thinking about the “open web” we’re after, what each of those visions postulates as the problem, and what solutions emerge from that set of problems. I’ll conclude with some of my own take on how WordPress as itself an “imagined community” (cf. Benedict Anderson’s 1983 book) can and should contribute to shaping the future of the web. (Hint: It’s about democratizing publishing through open source AND community).
WordPress is the dominant CMS of the web, but still struggles to find acceptance in many Enterprises.
One reason is the lack of clear paths for personalization and content targeting – features which are heavily promoted in platforms like Adobe Experience Manager and (especially) Sitecore’s Experience Platform.
This talk covers what personalization and content targeting are and multiple ways of achieving both using WordPress as the underlying CMS, as well as of the dangers of personalization projects and ways they can go wrong.
The JSON REST API is something developers in the WordPress community have been very excited about for years. But what can your teams and clients actually use it to accomplish? What's it actually for?
Alternate Title: Who is JSON, and Why Do I Care How Much REST He Gets?
Facebook Instant Articles, Apple News, and Accelerated Mobile Pages all offer new distribution opportunities to address the limitations of today's mobile web experience.
What are these new distribution channels and how can marketers and publishers leverage them?
Client Diplomacy: From Adversaries to AlliesJohn Eckman
Lightning Talk (10 minus) presented at WordCamp NYC at the UN
Too often in web design and development we treat clients as the enemy - irritating, ill-informed, pointy-haired-boss style business people who don't "get" what we do.
If instead we treated clients as our allies, and aligned our interests to theirs - recognizing that their success is out ultimate goal - we'd achieve better outcomes.
WordPress as a CMS Platform: Gilbane 2015John Eckman
While WordPress powers now 25% of the web, enterprise customers often overlook the platform as a content management system.
WordPress can be used for more than "simple" blogs or news sites: it supports custom content types, meta data, and taxonomies; has a robust API for managing user permissions, content states, and workflow; handles multilingual and multinational use cases easily; supports multisite networks (and networks of networks); offers a JSON REST API in addition to XML-RPC and CLI options; and can be integrated with enterprise class search engines like Elastic Search and SOLR.
Don't allow the deliberate simplicity of the WordPress "out of the box" experience or the focus on usability for content editors to overshadow the incredible power of the core platform and well established APIs.
WordPress and the Enterprise DisconnectJohn Eckman
While the WordPress community rightly celebrates powering > 24% of the web, Enterprise customers have a drastically different perspective.
How can we more effectively sell Enterprise clients on the benefits of WordPress, without losing the ease of use and simplicity that has made WordPress great?
We’ve all heard that content is king, yet when it comes to designing web experiences we’re still stuck with lorem ipsum and placeholder images, as though the real content didn’t matter.
We’re still designing web experiences from the top down, starting with the desktop view of the homepage, even though they’re more likely to be experienced from the bottom up – starting with a content detail page on a mobile device.
Designing from the content out means starting with atomic elements of content, and building a system of components and layouts based on the real structure of content.
(see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrPVZ60s-ls for audio and sync'd slides)
"Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it's decoration." - Jeffrey Zeldman

Designing from the content out means starting with atomic elements of content, and building a system of components and layouts based on the real structure of content.
While the community (rightly) celebrates the tremendous growth of WordPress as a platform, there’s a significant disconnect between what community members know about WordPress and what folks outside the community know.
Getting outside the WordPress bubble – by participating meaningfully in other conferences, conversations, and communities – helps bring new ideas into our community and also helps us bring WordPress into new contexts.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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.

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.
