Hello, everyone. I would like to introduce myself to this network and spread word about myself because you have seen my first PowerPoint upload.
I want to take the time to progress my public recognition even further, by showing off my own profile, as well as what I want to do.
I've split up the process of what I want to do into five very important stages that you can also use it for your advantage. I'm describing each stage and what I've done, what I'm doing, and what I want to do.
Please take the time to follow this as well as do what's at the end of this presentation, which is simply following me on some sites. Anyway, have fun and please leave comments!

Charlie Bit My Finger and Why it Really, Really MattersDean Shareski
Presentation for the University of Alberta Tech Fair, March 25th, 2011 by Alec Couros and Dean Shareski. Presentation focuses on the way social media and technology are changing the role and function of teachers
This training developed for The Literacy Cooperative of Greater Cleveland. It will:
Whet your appetite for using technology and media in your literacy program.
Ask you to select at least one awesome tech learning object.
Provide time and a template to create a integration plan to use your chosen tech learning object right away.
This is the second version of a teaching resource for Indigenous students (so far used with Education & Arts students). Of course, its not finished - probably will never be finished. I'll do an online version - perhaps in a wiki. But there are still many people who like to have a document to take home & work through. So this is the hard-copy version. Would love to hear feedback.
How I used social media to teach people about how to use social media.
An experiment, too: how many times will this be shared by 25 October, and how many connections will it create for me?
I'll present this to a set of delegates at a conference in ICT in Higher Education being held in South Africa, and am curious to see whether this approach will encourage people to share their thoughts and make new connections.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Encryption in Microsoft 365 - ExpertsLive Netherlands 2024Albert Hoitingh

3. Enjoy Life
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
I live in SF, I like biking, surfing, snowboarding, beer. Normal hacker stuff.
This is a beautiful day from earlier this season at lake tahoe.
4. Participating since 2000
http://www.flickr.com/photos/27316226@N02/3000888100
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
I stumbled upon open source and linux in 1999, I was contributing to projects within a year.
I strongly believe that finding open source early on opened up a lot of opportunities for me.
5. Undergraduate Degree
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mybloodyself/2225047118
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Unlike a lot of my coworkers, i attended and graduated college
6. Work @ GitHub
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Now I work here, it’s probably the best job I’ve ever had.
A lot of my open source work and enjoying what I do led to me landing the job i wanted.
We build software collaboration tools.
7. Open Source and Students
http://www.flickr.com/photos/knittymarie/3542395756
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
The majority of college graduates I meet aren’t ready for “the real world” when it comes to software development
today’s talk is enabling students to be ready for real software jobs after graduation.
Here’s what it was like for me...
8. Young dumb and full of vision
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
I bummed around for two years after high school, went to a local college, graduated in 4 years.
I did not program before college, most of my classmates had.
So I had to work hard.
9. Undergraduate in CS
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
pretty small CS department, some truly amazing educators.
a “computer lab” full of visual studio stuff, a linux box that i had to beg for access to.
10. Enlightenment
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
I got to learn about library management, release cycles, collaboration, design discussions
We were all passionate about making pretty things for Linux workstations.
My formal education was complemented by this participation
11. Hacked Shit
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
we built things we used, we were involved with the users of our stuff
we were all friends, and we helped each other out where possible
12. Graduation
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
i stuck to my studies for theory, hacked on open source projects as practice, i got better.
i debated grad school but decided to find real work, a lot of that drive came from real world stresses
i decided it was time to find a job.
13. Get a Job
http://www.flickr.com/photos/49938597@N00/5223416841
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
In my naivety I thought my education, open source contributions and passion would get me a job.
Boy was I in for a reality check.
14. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lwr/517712577/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
The catch 22 is that employers typically want N years of experience
6-7 years ago, open source didn’t count, so you couldn’t even get your foot in the door
“We’re sorry but I just can’t put someone without experience into this position.”
15. Take a Hike
http://www.flickr.com/photos/slieschke/4149185893/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
“We’re sorry but I just can’t put someone without experience into this position.”
Unfortunately experience means, years of “professional” work.
Even if your professional work is complete crap.
16. Independent Studies
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
There were actually lots of opportunities here to help with researchers and their grants.
As an undergrad I was lucky enough to have two, much more challenging than my normal curriculum.
Buuuuuut, employers don’t care.
17. Internships
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
There aren’t enough internships.
Kicks off reputation management but little to show at the end.
We’re accepting intern applications for this summer at GitHub.
18. Why Did I Go?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bex_x_pi/3180576600/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
It wasn’t just my school, almost everyone I meet had similar experiences
Or they just dropped out because they found an opportunity w/o the degree
Did I only go to make my mom proud?
19. Work for Big Guys
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mjb/38571308
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
After a depressing 3-4 months, someone hired me in an area that I didn’t really enjoy.
I was underpaid and contracting for a fortune 5 company.
Normal corporate ladder bullshit, I didn’t find this fulfilling.
20. What Did I Miss?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bex_x_pi/3180576600/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
I couldn’t help but wonder why I’d worked so hard but found a job that was unsatisfying.
Looking back, I realize I understood what was necessary, the market didn’t yet.
It does now, and a lot of that can be achieved by participation.
21. Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Collaboration is one aspect of software development that doesn’t happen enough in education.
The days of the wizard in the basement building everything himself are over.
Collaboration is a day to day thing in every shop out there right now.
22. Contemporary Software
http://www.flickr.com/photos/wonderlane/2316339816/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Collaboration is what modern software is about.
Peer review of patches and design decisions, testing and deployment involve the whole team.
Exposure to new things through working with others.
23. Geographically Distributed
http://www.flickr.com/photos/andresmusta/5492899843
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Teams are becoming more and more geographically distributed.
People need to have good communication skills in order to be effective.
I remote pair programmed with a co-worker in NZ for almost 2 years, very rewarding.
24. Coding is Social
http://www.flickr.com/photos/atmos/175465956
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Large projects are using it with a lot of success, Rails, Jquery, Node.
Users begin to interact with each other and in a lot of cases it’s a meritocracy.
The picture is a lot of early adopters to rails, we built projects, but the first time we’d all met in person.
25. Reputation
Management
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
In this social media crazy culture we’ve seen develop over the past few years, hackers need a rep.
Students/Graduates need a way to stand out when they go looking for jobs.
It’s not just what you know, sometimes it’s who you know too.
26. Encourage Involvement
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ozarksredcross/5152044443/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Educators should encourage involvement.
Have them create a GitHub or BitBucket in some of their early labs.
I’m still unsure about how to do labs, my CS labs were nothing like real software development.
Help your students understand that reading source code is invaluable.
27. Travel
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bhenry/124519641/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Open Source conferences put you in a great place to meet other passionate people.
There are free conferences available and often student discounts.
You can learn about emerging tech as well as meet people who might need employees.
Let them know that the job they want, might not be in the town they’re from.
28. *SOC
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mjb/38571308
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Google Summer of Code and Ruby Summer of Code offer students money to improve the ecosystem.
They have mentors and are required to explain their efforts over the summer.
Looks good on a resume.
29. Student’s Responsibility
http://www.flickr.com/photos/toastkid/4316891537/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
The best you can do is tell your students that they need to make it happen.
Recommendations are nice but they don’t help if people are basing employment solely on years experience.
It’s basically collegiate or extra-curricular activities, and they need to practice.
It can be really rewarding.
30. OSS & Businesses
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
there’s a huge surge in businesses being created by talented open source hackers.
we’re professionals in probably the most exciting time in computing.
the work that we do can directly impact our friends and family, great ideas are adopted.
31. Regular People
http://www.flickr.com/photos/samgrover/36998596/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
The socially inept nerd stereotype is slowly going away, normal people are computer savvy.
Often start as boutique consultancies, move on to create products with recurring income.
You don’t need mega global partnerships to make good money and have fun.
32. Working with Friends
http://www.flickr.com/photos/holman/5383038805/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
These businesses end up hiring friends from projects, because you know their friends skill-sets.
This is fun because it tends to be a flat organization and everyone’s opinions are equal.
These are my friends, coworkers, and my “bosses” are in there too.
33. Corporate Ladder?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/vkx462/3013865271/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Climbing the corporate ladder is of no interest to me.
The likelihood that you’ll become an exec at some fortune 50 is pretty low.
If I’m going to spend much of my adult life working, I want to enjoy it.
34. Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Software developers can enjoy a much higher quality of life than a lot of other people.
The difference comes from people finding jobs they’re passionate about.
I think happiness is undervalued and often overlooked in employment.
35. Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Chad highlights patterns that have helped him through his career.
Ongoing exploration/learning, finding work that you love, enjoying your life outside of your work.
36. The Jobs are Out There
http://www.flickr.com/photos/suzan-a/114046250/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
There is a shortage of talented people in technology.
The job you want exists in mobile/web/media, but you need to make it happen.
Find work that’s rewarding because you spend so much of your life doing it.
37. Enabling your Students
http://www.flickr.com/photos/pedestriantype/4789244416/
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
I can’t think of anything more fulfilling than helping people live wonderful lives.
If 5% of your students are successful w/o OSS, what if you could get them to 50% w/ OSS involvement.
Think of how amazing all of those “thank you for helping me” emails will feel.
38. So, WTF, Man.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bearpark/3149679619
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
Some of my friends/coworkers went to school, some didn’t.
You can survive in this industry without a formal degree.
I’m glad I got one, but I think that a CS degree alone isn’t enough.
39. So, WTF, Man.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bearpark/3149679619
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
I think the lessons learned in open source give students a competitive advantage in the job market.
I also think it gives them a competitive advantage in life.
40. So, WTF, Man.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/bearpark/3149679619
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
The most fulfilling part of my job is putting smiles on people’s faces.
Students, if you hustle, I swear that fulfilling work is out there.
Educators please motivate your students to work on things outside of the classroom.
