What does "DocOps" mean, in the simplest and broadest terms? What should your requirements be for a DocOps transformation, and how do you find a tool stack that fits them? Where do you start, and how do you escape a waterfall reengineering of your legacy docs?
SharePoint Engage Phoenix 2017
Our SharePoint environment is a lot like many others – a SharePoint 2007 implementation that was used more as a file dump than a collaboration space. With minimal user adoption, we were never quite ready to implement 2010, with a pilot SharePoint 2010 implementation stalled out of the gate.
In the meantime, some content was put on Box and other services to address external collaboration needs. Business users needed more relevant search results, content databases had grown uncomfortably large, and access controls had become spaghetti. Fortunately, site sprawl wasn’t too bad… except that the reason for that was the low adoption.
SharePoint 2013 arrived to a perfect storm – business and technology needs to be addressed, content that needs to be brought back in-house, and user adoption that needs to be improved. Time to upgrade!
See how we approached the upgrade, the issues than needed to be addressed, and the questions that needed to be answered.

A FUTURE-FOCUSED DIGITAL PLATFORM WITH DRUPAL 8Phase2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCx0fx-FWSc
Breaking News: Al Jazeera Builds Future-focused Digital Platform with Drupal 8
Sep 28, 2016 at DrupalCon Dublin
This just in: Al Jazeera Media Network, a leading provider in news and media broadcasting, is investing in its future by building a global, multi-lingual, unified CMS platform to streamline the creation and personalized delivery of news on the newly released Drupal 8 platform. This story is still unfolding!
For a global media network like Al Jazeera, Drupal 8 provides the perfect base for internationalization, future growth, and flexibility. Al Jazeera required a platform that could unify several different content streams and support a complicated editorial workflow, allowing network wide collaboration and search.
In this talk, leaders from the Al Jazeera digital project will go “behind-the-scenes” of the network’s next generation publishing platform. Hear from the Al Jazeera Product Managers and Platform Experts about how the content needs driving the media business can map to the underpinnings of a unified publishing platform. We will explore the technical advantages of Drupal 8, as well as the digital strategy that informed the endeavor. You’ll learn:
● Why Al Jazeera Media Network decided to invest in Drupal 8 as an early adopter
● How to use Deploy, Multi-version, and Replication modules to support an enterprise content repository
● The implications of starting with Lightning as a base distribution
● How Al Jazeera Media Network transformed its editorial workflow with Drupal 8 tools
For anyone working in the digital publishing industry or considering using Drupal 8 for a platform, this session is a must-see!
The Future of Digital Storytelling - Phase2 TalkPhase2
Watch the full talk here: https://www.phase2technology.com/blog/the-future-of-digital-storytelling/
Mike Mangi, Director of Digital Strategy at Phase2, talks about the importance of evoking emotion in storytelling, and the evolution of our use of technology in our quest for ever-more immersive storytelling tools.
He discusses examples of how a story call be told in and across myriad devices from mobile, to wearables, to Augmented and Virtual Reality headsets, to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
He talks about the need for content and experience management systems capable of publishing multi-device, context-optimized content, and the potential to provide solutions with platforms like headless Drupal.
Drupal 8 for Enterprise: D8 in a Changing Digital LandscapePhase2
Check out our white paper on D8 for enterprise: http://phase.to/1i1G7Gg
Today's digital marketplace requires organizations to engage their audiences on the multitude of channels and devices where they consume content. Drupal 8 can be an effective tool for creating a streamlined, multi-channel experience for users, in addition to serving as an adaptive content engine for website platform builders. In this slideshow, we examine the value of Drupal 8 as a flexible content management system (CMS) and how businesses can use it for maximum benefit.
The Yes, No, and Maybe of "Can We Build That With Drupal?"Phase2
Over the last five years, Drupal has made a huge splash in the Government sector and has quickly become the open source CMS platform of choice. If you’re not already using Drupal, it’s likely that it’s come up as an option. It’s a powerful and flexible framework, and because of this the answer to the question ‘Can we build this with Drupal?’ is usually ‘Yes’. That said…your ‘yes’ should sometimes be ‘It depends’.
Understanding the reasons why government has taken interest in Drupal is key to understanding how and where it is best used. Drupal has core strengths that line up with key needs, but there are things it doesn’t do well. How do you make sure that you’re not asking Drupal to do too much? Conversely, even if Drupal is the best choice, how do you make sure your architecture is sound, your project plan is tight, and your business strategy is appropriate?
We’ll look at some case studies from various levels of government from federal to local, examine the challenges faced, and review lessons learned. If your project needs to stretch Drupal to its breaking point, how do you mitigate the technical, project management, and business impacts? How do you weigh the pros and cons of using Drupal when you are planning a project, and what are the key warning signs in an RFP that warn against it? And even when the needs of the client project line up cleanly with Drupal’s core strengths, how do you identify the risk areas when it seems like a match made in heaven?
Drupal is a powerful tool and can transform the work you do, but being educated as to its strengths and weaknesses protects you and your project, whether you are a contractor or contract officer, internal technology team or external developer.
David Spira presents on the importance of user testing and Empathy to deliver an effective product, specifically a contact management app for disaster relief that was later used during the Nepal earthquake in 2015.
Red Hat needed a new pattern library that would be flexible enough to integrate into our current Drupal 7 site, yet powerful enough to build future D7, D8 and other Red Hat branded sites. This pattern library would create a consistent, brand approved, look across all of our web properties, and become a common UI development platform for Designers, UX, Devs and Project managers.
In this case study we’ll explain our architectural approach to deliver dozens of tightly packaged components to Redhat.com and other web properties through a variety of distribution methods.
At Phase2, we do things a little differently when it comes to design. While many teams are stuck in the “design first, develop second, theme last” way of doing things, we link our multidisciplinary teams together by a common vehicle: design systems. Each piece of the system, including our prototyping tools, live within the platform, allowing us to integrate processes like creative design, prototyping, front-end methodology, and implementation. We call this “The New Design Workflow.”
This session will feature a panel of Phase2’s most experienced designers and front-end devs for an inside look at our best practices, tips and tricks. Plus, hear us weigh in how Drupal 8 will interface with your favorite front-end tools like PatternLab.
Drupal 8, Don’t Be Late (Enterprise Orgs, We’re Looking at You)Phase2
After building one of the first enterprise Drupal 8 platforms, we speak from experience when we say: if you are an enterprise organization, you should be seriously considering the move to Drupal 8. For many in the Drupal world, Drupal 8 is still viewed with apprehension. With this panel, we’re here to unveil the D8 mystery.
In the changing CMS landscape, enterprises have a lot to gain from the more decoupled, API-focused content repository that Drupal 8 is evolving toward. Drupal’s paradigm shift will vastly improve the way organizations ingest, store, publish, and distribute content through multiple channels. But is the investment worth it? For the enterprise, our answer is an enthusiastic yes.
In this session, discover:
How Drupal 8’s structure fundamentally changes the way organizations approach platform building
The impact of Drupal 8’s configuration management improvements
The benefits of integrated front-end tools and external libraries
The challenges enterprise organizations will face adopting Drupal 8 (and how to overcome them)
How other enterprise organizations are already harnessing the power of Drupal 8
How to get started!
Memorial Sloan Kettering: Adventures in Drupal 8Phase2
Memorial Sloan Kettering is preparing to launch two websites in Drupal 8. As one of the first organizations to migrate its Drupal 6 content management system onto an enterprise Drupal 8 platform, Memorial Sloan Kettering has learned first hand the major challenges and advantages of building in Drupal 8.
In this session, project members from MSK, Phase2, and Digitas will explore the decision to take the leap to Drupal 8 and the reality of building in D8 while it is still a beta. Get details on the brute force migration process, front-end integrations and wiring up with twig in practice, and community contributions to accelerate Drupal 8 in the process of a flagship redesign for one of the leaders in the healthcare space.
We’ll elaborate on the challenges we faced and strategies we used to build on Drupal 8 and how you can learn from them!
Finally, we’ll answer some of your most burning questions:
How did you accomplish moving an existing Drupal 6 site with 25,000 plus pages of content to Drupal 8 while redesigning at the same time?
Should other organizations consider building in Drupal 8?
What tools and best practices were used by developers/sys admins?
What contrib modules are being used?
How difficult was it for the team to learn Drupal 8?
What is being used for layout and webforms?What external libraries and APIs are being used?

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
13. In case you’re wondering why:
