How to manage web projects without setting your hair on fireKathy Gill

And how would an iterative, collaborative design process facilitate a responsive web, one where sites work well on phones, tablets and desktops?
This presentation is designed to give administrators an introductory look at web 2.0 tools and how they can be used to simplify their job, and enhance training and enrichment, community partnerships, create awareness for an issue, etc.

How To (Not) Open Source - Javazone, Oslo 2014gdusbabek
Releasing an open source project while maintaining a shipping product is hard! Different behaviors, attitudes and actions can help or hinder your cause; and they are not always obvious.
The Blueflood distributed metrics engine was released as open source software by Rackspace in August 2012. In the succeeding months the team had to strike a manageable balance between the challenges of growing a community, being good open source stewards, and maintaining a shipping product for Rackspace. Find out what worked, what did not work, and the lessons that can be applied as you endeavor to take your project out into the open.
In this presentation you will learn about strategies for releasing open source products, pitfalls to avoid, and the potential benefits of moving more of your development out in the open.
We have also made a few realizations about the community growing up around metrics. It is still young, and there are problems that come with that youth. I'll talk about some things we can do to make a better software ecosystem.

Kaizen, Nemawashi and a Project Management Work CellJeff_Marsh
Overview: Kaizen, Nemawashi and a Project Management Work Cell.
As Project Managers we are well trained in conducting and implementing traditional “Lessons Learned” as part of the project life cycle. However, for longer projects typically lasting over 6 months, the potential lag in the discovery and incorporation of improvements to the ongoing project management may miss important opportunities to achieve the project goals at lesser costs in time and energy. This workshop applies a few pages from the Lean Manufacturing and Toyota Production System playbooks to explore opportunities to contemporaneously improve what happens in a “Project Management Work Cell”.
If you've interviewed for a content strategy role recently, you may have been asked for a portfolio. But CS deliverables don't always lend themselves to sharing--who wants to see an inventory spreadsheet? And what do you do when your work is all client-confidential? This event took place at the Seattle Content Strategy Meetup designed to help job seekers or consultants create engaging portfolios, presented by Masa Zokaei Edie.
"A scenario is a description of a person’s interaction with a system.
Scenarios help focus design efforts on the user’s requirements, which are distinct from technical or business requirements.
Scenarios may be related to ‘use cases’, which describe interactions at a technical level. Unlike use cases, however, scenarios can be understood by people who do not have any technical background. They are therefore suitable for use during participatory design activities." http://infodesign.com.au/usabilityresources/scenarios/

The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

21. Work smarter!
Rework
Start making something
‣ What you do is what matters, not what you think
or say or plan.
No time is no excuse
‣ Perfect time never arrives. There's always
enough time if you spend it right.
Build an audience
‣ Speak, blog, tweet, make videos, presentations
whatever. Share information that's valuable.
Slowly but surely you'll build a loyal audience.
Nobody likes plastic flowers
‣ So talk the way you really talk.
Make a dent in the Universe
‣ To do great work, you need to feel that you're
making a difference. If you're going to do
something, do something that matters.
You need less than you think
‣ That could mean people, money, resources...

22. Success
The art and science of success
Tactics, by Edward de Bono, first published 1985
In spite of the huge differences in styles and approaches there do seem to be some strong
underlying agreements.
Energy, persistence, determination and single-mindedness seem important in
all cases. There is action. Successful people do not stand still and expect things to
happen to them. They take a step and then the next step. There seems to be a sense of
integrity. Integrity toward oneself and also toward others. There is always the
“expectation of success” and the ability to think big. There is the ability to define
goals and targets, and also to have dreams. There is creativity and the ability to
see things differently and to think new thoughts. There is both a seizing of
opportunities and also a creation of opportunities. There is eagerness and
enthusiasm and the willingness to make things happen.
