(Best) Practices for the Solo DeveloperMichael Eaton
You are the only developer in your company. Maybe you’re an independent consultant. Maybe you work from home, maybe not. Any way it goes, being the lone developer can be tough. Whether you work in a cube or the comfort of your home office or the local coffee shop, there are many challenges facing the solo developer. Project management, estimation, testing and even writing code all change when you work alone. In this session, I will discuss many of the lessons learned and practices I’ve developed working almost exclusively as a single developer for the past ten years.

A Force of One - Agile and the Solo DeveloperClint Edmonson
Ever been invited to a project kickoff party only to find out that you’re flying solo? Congratulations, you’ve just become the ultimate co-located, self-organized, cross-functional, energized agile team of one. Join us for this session where we explore how the lone coder can take advantage of the best agile has to offer in this era of ever shrinking budgets.
Admitting my flaws and turning them into virtues! This is a full length talk given it at DjangoCon US 2011, PyCon Australia 2011, and LA Django. The earliest version was a lightning talk given at the 2011 Hollywood hackathon.
This session will teach you how to leverage virtualization and advanced management technologies from Novell to build an internal cloud infrastructure. You'll be able to build an infrastructure that allows your IT organization to package, price and promote IT service capabilities to your internal customers while giving them exceptional visibility into how those services are performing against SLA targets. Learn what an enterprise cloud is, and why having a virtual infrastructure isn't enough. Understand how the concept of an internal cloud can help you work better and more efficiently with your customers, improve communication, boost utilization and speed delivery of new IT services.

Practical Machine Learning: Innovations in Recommendation WorkshopMapR Technologies
Ted Dunning, Committer for Apache Mahout, Drill & Zookeeper presents on:
1. How to build a production quality recommendation engine using Mahout and Solr or Elasticsearch
2. How to build a multi-modal recommendation from multiple behavioral inputs
3. How search engines can be used for more than just text
This talk will present a detailed tear-down and walk-through of a working soup-to-nuts recommendation engine that uses observations of multiple kinds of behavior to do combined recommendation and cross recommendation. The system uses Mahout to do off-line analysis and can use Solr or Elasticsearch to provide real-time recommendations. The talk will also include enough theory to provide useful working intuitions for those desiring to adapt this design.
The entire system including a data generator, off-line analysis scripts, Solr and Elasticsearch configurations and sample web pages will be made available on github for attendees to modify as they like.
Building recommendation engines by abusing a search engine has been well-known for some time to a small sub-culture in the recommendation community, but techniques for building multi-model recommendation engines are not at all well known.
This session will give a detailed report on the functionality found in newer kernel versions as it relates to Linux on System z. Areas included are advanced virtualization, storage support, RAS, security, as well as usability and serviceability. This session will also give some insight into the IBM Linux on System z development process itself.
Last, not least, attendees get an overview of features, functionalities and tools specific to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z.
Deliver More Impact with Data Informed Decisions webinar Salesforce.org
What impact are you having? Which programs are working? Is your organization using your resources effectively? Measuring results is a key aspect of delivering better programs and services. However, many organizations are still using spreadsheets and disconnected databases to collect this data, and therefore, have trouble quantifying their impact. Join us to hear how two organizations, The Cara Program and Springboard Collaborative, are leveraging Salesforce to track their program data and understand their results. The Cara Program, a Chicago human services agency, uses Salesforce for case management for their workforce development programs. Springboard Collaborative uses Salesforce to track their students results for their program that seeks to narrow the literacy achievement gap in low income communities. You'll hear about how each organization decided on Salesforce, learn about the successes and challenges they've had through implementation, and see a demo of their Salesforce solutions.
