This was the keynote at SANDcamp in San Diego. It is a quick look at the value of people in open source software, specifically the Drupal community.

It’s the people, stupid!
The real power of Drupal

January 2009 Lullabot

What is Open Source?

We think of the code we download

“It’s really the Drupal community
and not so much the software that
makes the Drupal project what it is.
So fostering the Drupal community
is actually more important than
just managing the code base.”
- Dries Buytaert

What’s the point?

What is the goal or purpose of Drupal?

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/eam
Software doesn’t have a goal beyond “working”

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/thedepartment
People have goals and that drives the software
All perspectives can be part of it, but don’t assume your perspective or needs will be done for
you by others

Do-ocracy: the person who does it gets the job. You don’t need to be an “expert”

Communication: share what you do
it goes both ways, but you need to initiate contact with others or they won’t know you’re
there

There are asshats in every community. Don’t be one.

You matter.

Each person that uses Drupal can have an impact on the software and the millions of other
people that use it

The web is constantly changing, new ideas pop up, get immediately realised. Drupal, as one of the leading platforms in web development today, enables millions of people across the planet to create innovative web experiences. Both as Software and equally important as a community, we have come a long way implementing best practices in our project. With the upcoming release of Drupal 8, we are finally getting off the island and open up to the wider PHP community. We adopt Symfony components, libaries like Guzzle and well established software design patterns like dependency injection for better interoperability and quality of the platform. In this session, I will share my personal view on why Drupal as a platform is so relevant, how does such a large-scale open source project work and how can we as individuals participate and even contribute to the project.

The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

I'm excited to share my latest predictions on how AI, robotics, and other technological advancements will reshape industries in the coming years. The slides explore the exponential growth of computational power, the future of AI and robotics, and their profound impact on various sectors. Why this matters: The success of new products and investments hinges on precise timing and foresight into emerging categories. This deck equips founders, VCs, and industry leaders with insights to align future products with upcoming tech developments. These insights enhance the ability to forecast industry trends, improve market timing, and predict competitor actions. Highlights: ▪ Exponential Growth in Compute: How $1000 will soon buy the computational power of a human brain ▪ Scaling of AI Models: The journey towards beyond human-scale models and intelligent edge computing ▪ Transformative Technologies: From advanced robotics and brain interfaces to automated healthcare and beyond ▪ Future of Work: How automation will redefine jobs and economic structures by 2040 With so many predictions presented here, some will inevitably be wrong or mistimed, especially with potential external disruptions. For instance, a conflict in Taiwan could severely impact global semiconductor production, affecting compute costs and related advancements. Nonetheless, these slides are intended to guide intuition on future technological trends.

ScyllaDB has the potential to deliver impressive performance and scalability. The better you understand how it works, the more you can squeeze out of it. But before you squeeze, make sure you know what to monitor! Watch our experienced Postgres developer work through monitoring and performance strategies that help him understand what mistakes he’s made moving to NoSQL. And learn with him as our database performance expert offers friendly guidance on how to use monitoring and performance tuning to get his sample Rust application on the right track. This webinar focuses on using monitoring and performance tuning to discover and correct mistakes that commonly occur when developers move from SQL to NoSQL. For example: - Common issues getting up and running with the monitoring stack - Using the CQL optimizations dashboard - Common issues causing high latency in a node - Common issues causing replica imbalance - What a healthy system looks like in terms of memory - Key metrics to keep an eye on This isn’t “Death-by-Powerpoint.” We’ll walk through problems encountered while migrating a real application from Postgres to ScyllaDB – and try to fix them live as well.

How to differentiate Sales Cloud and CPQ on first glance might be tricky if you do not know where to look and what to look at. You will know :-) Managing the sales process within Salesforce is a common use case that can be managed with standart Sales Cloud. If you want to do entire quoting process you will find out Salesforce CPQ solution exists. What is then the difference if both can handle selling products? You will see comparison of 10 different features, which Sales Cloud and Salesforce CPQ handle differently. Simple question you will always remember if you should consider using Salesforce CPQ will be a cherry on top.

We're living the AI revolution and Salesforce is adapting and bring new value to their customers. Einstein products are evolving rapidly and navigating their limitations, language support, and use cases can be challenging. Let's make review of what Einstein product are available currently, what are the capabilities and what can be used for in CEE region and how Rossie.ai can help to learn Salesforce speak Czech. We will explore the Einstein roadmap and I will make a short live demo (based on your vote) of some Einstein feature.
