Unchaining the Analysts - making BDUF Scrum friendly by Amber HaleyBosnia Agile
Project managers, product owners and most people who are NOT developers struggle with defining a heavily technical solution... And business analysts of the traditional nature have this technical nous, but struggle to make the transition to using agile frameworks because of the lingering hangover of BDUF/BRUF. Simply adding a BA to your team will likely create more problems than solutions without re-engineering the need to know all the facts into something that fits "just enough and Just in time".
But it doesn't have to be this way.
In this case study based presentation I explore exact the exact methods we used to upskill a Business analyst or requirements engineer, and massage their skillset into a key role that can insure that quality, detail rich stories go into any agile process, while bridging the communication gap and bringing a wealth of "Big Picture" thinking to the bite sized chunks of Scrum development.

This is part 1 in a series of presentations I will be doing. This series is about 7 ground breaking changes that have happened in the IT world - changes that will affect how IT professionals will develop and deploy applications.
As a Small Business owner, you have taken the first step and decided that WordPress is the engine for your online business. But customizing your business website can be difficult – especially if you don’t know which are the right plugins to use to maximum effect. This presentation will help you find what types of plugins to use for which type of business, and how to customize them.

Customer Development for Technology FoundersAllan Caeg
Yes, you and your team can build a great SaaS app at home. Such a beautiful expression of design and engineering.
Then reality sets in. No matter how great the idea or how cool the technology, the product doesn’t result to sales.
That’s the story of many technology entrepreneurs. After months of hard work and spending thousands of dollars, the masterpiece doesn’t get a reasonable amount of traction.

Inclusive, Accessible Tech: Bias-Free Language in Code and ConfigurationsAnne Gentle
Heard of suss? You can suss out more information or you can find someone's information to be suss. "Suss" shows the flexibility of language. It’s an ongoing process to change how we use certain words. It's important to choose words carefully to convey the correct meaning and avoid harmful subtext or exclusion. Let's explore some of the tools and triage methods it takes from an engineering viewpoint to make bias-free choices. How can you ensure that biased words do not sneak into code, UI, docs, configurations, or our everyday language?
First, let's walk through how to take an inventory of assets from code to config files to API specifications to standards. Next, by placing those findings into categories, prioritize the work to substitute with inclusive alternatives. Let's examine some examples using both API and code assets. Next is a demonstration of how to automate analyzing your source code or documentation with a linter, looking for patterns based on rules that are fed into the tool.
What's in the future for these efforts? Inclusive language should expand beyond English and North American efforts. To do so, let's organize the work with automation tooling, as engineers do.
Docs as Code: Publishing Processes for API ExperiencesAnne Gentle
When you treat docs like code, you multiply everyone’s efforts and streamline processes through collaboration, automation, and plain old hard work. To create a cohesive API experience, developers, technical marketing engineers, technical writers, and product managers can work together on GitHub to produce web pages and API documentation, including interactive API docs and tutorials. The ways you can leverage developer processes and tools in a docs-as-code system vary widely. Let's walk through some examples including tools, version control, publishing workflows, approvals, source formats, checklists, automated testing, and final approval. Also, let's take some time to share some of the pitfalls and difficulties possible when you work on API and tools documentation for a large and varied product catalog with more than a thousand contributors.
What happens when smart developers build sites automatically? Explore webhooks to automate building web sites with modern development techniques. Do you want to learn how to build your own IT doc system? Record your network configurations, infrastructure docs, or collaborate on a wiki - all programmatically. Continuous deployment (CD) lets you build the docs on another system and then place the files where the web server can serve them. CD can include both the building of the HTML files as well as deploying them to a host. Continuous deployment and automation is game-changing for web sites. You can get free or super inexpensive hosting, make sure that all your pull requests build correctly, and make gorgeous web sites, all with automated builds. These services manage setting up the web server, certificates, and domain set up so you can focus on writing down your docs. Webhooks are a mechanism for triggering an event based on a change in a repository. That repository can contain documentation, configuration files, even runbooks that you can link to from the docs pages. You can choose from different services that provide webhooks to build your site automatically.
When you treat docs like code, you multiply everyone’s efforts and streamline processes through collaboration, automation, and innovation. The benefits are real, but these efforts are complex. The ways you can leverage developer process and tools vary widely. Let’s unpack the absolute best situation for using a docs as code model.
Then, we can walk through multiple considerations that may point you in one direction or another. We can talk about version control, publishing, REST API considerations, source formats, automation, quality controls and testing, and lessons learned. Let’s study best practices that are outcome-dependent and situational, creating strategic efforts.
When Infrastructure becomes so reliable it's boring, apps can shine. Here's how to learn more about configuration management and application deployment for OpenStack clouds like Cisco Metacloud. Delivered at the OpenStack Summit in Barcelona, October 2016.
I have evidence that using git and GitHub for documentation and community doc techniques can give us 300 doc changes in a month. I’ve bet my career on these methods and I want to share with you.
You'll Never Look at Developer Support the Same Way AgainAnne Gentle
Why will I never look at developer support the same way again? Because I've been on the Developer Experience team at Rackspace, and watching and monitoring the many ways that developers ask questions.
After four years of reading documentation comments on the API documents, I have some insights to share. Our support group has built a tool to listen to tagged feeds on Stack Overflow, read the jclouds mailing lists, all with the OpenStack app developer in mind. We monitor stackoverflow.com, serverfault.com, and superuser.com for questions tagged with Rackspace, rackspace-cloud, fog, cloudfiles, jclouds, pyrax, or keystone. At Rackspace we have been supporting cross-cloud SDKs such as Apache jclouds, Node.js pkgcloud, Ruby Fog, Python Pyrax, .NET, and PHP. Let's look at the data from these many places to find out the patterns for application development. What are the most popular? Which are the most pesky? Let's find out.
So You Want to be an OpenStack ContributorAnne Gentle
Our very own Anne Gentle will go through how to contribute to OpenStack, the open source cloud computing project. What is OpenStack? In a sentence, OpenStack provides open source software for building public and private clouds. What does that mean? We're a collection of open source projects written in Python that integrate to help organizations deploy and run clouds for computing, networking, and storage. Here at Rackspace many of our public cloud services are maintained in OpenStack, and we also offer Private Cloud configuration and management for customers to have OpenStack running for them in their data center or ours.
She'll walk through:
What are all these projects?
Where would I begin?
Is it only coding that counts?
What's Stackforge?
What's Gerrit?
What's <fill-in-weird-code-name-here>?
Then we'll do a hands-on workshop to walk through the first-time contributor process. It's a set-it-and-forget-it process but can be intimidating.

Social web for Tech Comm, STC March 2013Anne Gentle
In a world where readers simply expect websites to offer well-connected experiences, technical documentation
teams must consider the possibilities now available to us through collaborative means. Having worked with blogs,
wikis, open source software, and social networking techniques, I want to share what I’ve learned about documentation as conversation. Through my work with the
OpenStack project, I have further refined my approach to technical content strategy with collaborative, community methods. My presentation shares the methods we use with OpenStack, the ways my thinking has changed, pitfalls to avoid, and measurements that help refine the strategy.
OpenStack documentation has a series of documents for administrators and API users. All these documents need to be translated. The continuous development of documents brings difficulties to the translation management, but the process can be automated with continuous integration. This slide deck introduces the process and the technologies used in the translation management during OpenStack document internationalization. It also includes a demo for creating a Chinese version of manuals.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Editor's Notes
Hi I’m Anne Gentle and this is my story about taking action through technology when faced with a rather scary disease.
Welcome to Grace Hopper 2015, I’m Anne Gentle and I work at Rackspace on OpenStack. Today I’m telling my story as a parent of a Type I diabetic.
Tell Evan's story of getting diagnosed. How did you know?
- pixie stick made him tired
- two fasting blood tests
- phone call, "you have to take Evan to the emergency room now"
This is where we found out: People with insulin-dependent diabetes have to test their blood glucose and give themselves insulin injections or infusions via a pump 24 hours a day every day in order to stay alive. Too much insulin can result in seizures, comas, or death from hypoglycemia, or low glucose levels. Too little insulin leads to devastating kidney, heart, nerve, and eye damage from hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar.
5 FINGER STICKS or 288 DATA POINTS? Dexcom collects data every five minutes so it gives a more steady picture of continuous monitoring.
I was in denial about my son being a Type I diabetic, but we had to find out more.
What does our story lead to? In my case, denial, then action. We were familiar with the disease. We knew we could manage it with technology.
I’m a mom with a lot of cloud resources I have access to, including Mongo DB with Object Rocket
I found a dad, also with a son named Evan, who decided to take action. He wrote Nightscout, a monitoring application that took data from the monitor onto an Android phone through USB.
Now it has evolved to reading the REST API data directly from the cloud.
Let’s look at how we can do that as citizen hackers.
Evan wears a sensor, it's injected about weekly and stuck on his stomach or arm. It collects data continuously from interstitial fluid. He calibrates using finger sticks for blood glucose levels at least twice a day instead of 5 times a day. I work in Open Source and found that there was a neat blend going on of proprietary technology fueling open source development and vice versa. Let’s look at the components.
We have: node.js on a cloud server that has all the credentials to gather data from Dexcom’s share API and then store in a MongoDB database for display with a node JS server
You may be surprised that a parent and some code can make such a big difference, but with this disease burden the opportunity is huge and the motivation is high.
Well, in a way, this can lead to helicopter parenting at its worst. But I like to think of this as a great aggregator, an anonymizer for my son so that his data can be used to heal himself and others, not reveal. Kids can stay longer at preschool because parents can coach the teachers through the balancing act between juice and running around. My middle school son learns more about self-management because he has more information at his finger tips. What if we can show Congress that they should pass the Medicare CGM Access act to specify coverage continuous glucose monitoring devices?
So once we received our new Dexcom, I installed the open source project after they found they could track the data using a REST API.
Quote from Chief Engineer at Medtronic Lane Desborough = father to a diabetic son. They are making strides towards the artificial pancreas. But here’s the amazing thing. Just this August a couple created an artificial pancreas with a Raspberry Pi, CGM monitoring, and Nightscout. That is how the problem and solution are coming closer together. Go to diyps.org to find out more.
Open mHealth, http://www.openmhealth.org/, is creating free, open source standards for data so that developers can integrate data from separate streams. Imagine if my son wore a fitbit and his dexcom and fitbit data were integrated through a common standard so he could get a heads up that he was about to go low from exercise? That’s proactive data.
I hope that I have inspired you to look into open source, not wait for someone else to solve your data problems, and take a journey into something new.
