Enabling Low-cost Open Data Publishing and ReuseMarin Dimitrov
In the space of just a few years we’ve seen the transformational power of open data; both for transparency and accountability in public data, and efficiency and innovation with businesses in private data. In its first year, institutions and individuals throughout Europe have supported public sector bodies in releasing data and numerous start-ups, developers and SMEs in reusing this data for economic benefit.
However, we are still at the beginning of the open data movement, and there is still more that can be done to make open data simpler to use and to make it available to a wider audience.
The core goal of the DaPaaS project is to provide a Data- and Platform-as-a-Service environment, where 3rd parties (such as governmental organisations, SMEs, developers and larger companies) can publish and host both data sets and data-intensive applications, which can then be accessed by end-user applications in a cross-platform manner. You can find out more about DaPaaS on the detailed about page.
Essentially, DaPaaS aims to make publishing, consumption, and reuse of open data, as well as deploying open data applications, easier and cheaper for SMEs and small public bodies which otherwise may not have sufficient technical expertise, infrastructure and resources required to do so.

As software engineers we do trade-offs every day. We often need to pick between things like space vs time or budget vs scope. Or sometimes the amount of creative waste we can afford to have. And when we make the decision we need to be in full comprehension of both the upside and downside of a particular choice. In this talk we will discuss why our organization decided to move from Python to Java. We will go over each tradeoff we decided to do and the motivation behind it.
Много често, когато искаме да станем по-добри backend програмисти се опитваме да научим различни езици за програмиране и съответните библиотеки.

Ако искаме да се научим как да пишем код за големи системи, които скалират добре и се справят сами с различни грешки и неочаквани ситуации, трябва да овладеем един друг дял от човешкото познание, който се нарича разпределени системи. В моята презентация ще видим защо трябва да задълбаем в тях и какви са основните принципи като консистентност(consistency), достъпност(availability) и издръжливост на разделения(partition tolerance).

Crossing the Chasm with Semantic TechnologyMarin Dimitrov
After more than a decade of active efforts towards establishing Semantic Web, Linked Data and related standards, the verdict of whether the technology has delivered its promise and has proven itself in the enterprise is still unclear, despite the numerous existing success stories.
Every emerging technology and disruptive innovation has to overcome the challenge of “crossing the chasm” between the early adopters, who are just eager to experiment with the technology potential, and the majority of the companies, who need a proven technology that can be reliably used in mission critical scenarios and deliver quantifiable cost savings.
Succeeding with a Semantic Technology product in the enterprise is a challenging task involving both top quality research and software development practices, but most often the technology adoption challenges are not about the quality of the R&D but about successful business model generation and understanding the complexities and challenges of the technology adoption lifecycle by the enterprise.
This talk will discuss topics related to the challenge of “crossing the chasm” for a Semantic Technology product and provide examples from Ontotext’s experience of successfully delivering Semantic Technology solutions to enterprises.
The course introduces students to current trends in information technology (IT). Cloud computing is a new paradigm on the needs of IT, providing integrated plan for a homogeneous environment offered by the cloud services - Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a service (IaaS).

Measuring the Productivity of Your Engineering Organisation - the Good, the B...Marin Dimitrov
High-performing engineering teams regularly dedicate time on measuring the performance & quality of the systems and applications they’re building or on measuring & improving the various aspects of the development lifecycle. High-performing product companies are also data-driven when it comes to measuring the impact of new features & products in terms of business KPIs and Northstar metrics.
Can a data-driven approach be applied to measuring the performance, maturity and continuous improvement of an engineering team or the whole engineering organisation? In this discussion we’ll cover various important topics related to quantifying the performance of an engineering organisation
The career development of our teammates is among the key responsibilities of a leader - and оur personal career development vision & plan plays a critical role for our long term growth and success. Despite their importance, our career vision is often not getting enough attention and level of detail, or is hampered by easily avoidable mistakes. In this discussion, we’ll address typical mistakes related to long-term career planning, some best practices, and practical steps for building our own long-term career development vision (or the ones of the teammates we are leading), so that career planning becomes a long term journey with clear why/how/what, rather than just a list of SMART goals
Uber began its open source journey in 2015 when three passionate engineers decided to contribute Uber’s work back to the community. In only four years, Uber’s open source program has fostered 350+ outstanding open source projects with 2,000+ contributors worldwide delivering over 70,000 commits. Since 2017, four of Uber’s open source projects have won InfoWorld’s Best of Open Source Software Awards. In this talk, Brian Hsieh & Marin Dimitrov will share more details on Uber’s open source journey, program and best practices, and how Uber enables open innovation by fostering a healthy and collaborative open source culture
Trust - the Key Success Factor for Teams & OrganisationsMarin Dimitrov
>>> Most leaders agree that trust is a key factor for the success o the team and the organisation and that they are actively working to build trust. And yet, various studies imply that almost half of the teams and organisations worldwide experience lower trust levels with their managers, teammates and the rest of the organisation, which leads to decreased engagement, productivity and success.
>>> In this talk we will discuss why trust is a key success factor for every team and every organisation, some good practices for building, sustaining and rebuilding trust, as well as the most common mistakes related to trust building
