Per due giorni,
esperti ed aspiranti lavoratori in remoto condividono la loro visione per un'Italia in remoto.
http://2015.italyremote.com/italiano.html
Il rinascimento tecnologico dell'Italia inizia con l'adozione delle best practices del lavoro in remoto, cancellando la vecchia mentalità aziendale dal paese, liberando i corpi e le menti, consentendo il flusso della creatività, in qualsiasi luogo ci si trovi. Inoltre, l'Italia diventerà in breve tempo, una nuova fonte di lavoratori in grado di operare in remoto.
Imparare come trovare ed assumere un lavoratore qualificato e mantenerne la produttività indipendentamente da dove si trovi.
Conoscere come società italiane si stanno adattando al lavoro in remoto per essere più competitive nel mercato internazionale.
Impara come organizzare il tuo spazio personale per poter lavorare in remoto.
After 12 years spent learning, practising, researching, teaching, managing and evangelising User Centred Design, I believe our discipline is in a state of flux. This presentation examines at best/bad practices in our field, both agency and client side; it will also discuss the meaning of UX in a broader context.

A version of my Rapid Product Design in the Wild talk at Agile Iceland 2014. http://www.agileisland.is
How do you know you're developing the right product? This talk will help you think creatively about how to do customer development using Agile and Lean User Experience methods. I share what we learnt about using rapid, iterative prototyping techniques to develop a minimum viable product at a software conference.
In August 2012 we attended Kscope, a conference for Oracle developers. Instead of doing the usual product demonstrations, we turned our stand into a live lab and took Agile development processes out of the office and in front of our customers. Our stand included an area for customer research, a Kanban board and information radiators in the form of a whiteboard, blank wall and a large digital screen. Over 3 days we ran 9 sprints and conducted 25 customer interviews, using a paper prototype to get feedback. We collected invaluable information about our customers' development environments, how they work with their teams, their processes, tasks and pain points. By the end of the conference my colleague had developed an interactive HTML/CSS prototype which potential customers could evaluate. The team went through several rapid build-measure-learn cycles to improve our product concept and validate the market need.
Opening up our development process at a trade show provided visitors to the stand with an opportunity to experience Agile and Lean methods first-hand.

Design Centred User: A reality check on UCDReto Laemmler
We all talk and dream about User Centred Design. The reality shows that very often the user gets ignored which puts back the designer in the center. This presentation talks about the IDEAL vs. REAL world of UCD.
A talk I gave at ProductTank in London in November 2014 for a Lean UX evening. The talk is a case study about designing a product concept using Lean UX methods such as rapid prototyping, in 3 days at a software conference.

A presentation I gave at the UK UXPA (@ukuxpa) #LeanUX event in October 2014 in London.
This talk was a variation of my Rapid Product Design talk. I've added a few reflections on my experiences of trying to implement Lean UX principles in a new organisation. I took inspiration from Bill Scott's Lean UX Anti-Patterns to explain some of the problems we encountered.
The other speakers were:
Adrian Howard (@adrianh) from Quietstars who spoke about Lean Persona: http://www.slideshare.net/adrianh/lean-persona
Andrew Godfrey (@tweet_godfrey) from Foolproof who spoke about adapting a Lean UX process and using Lean UX principles in an agency environment, with clients.
Trevor Perrry presented Implementing Modernization during the 2015 iBelieve tour. This presentation helps you analyse your modernization needs, strategies and suggests successful approaches for planning and implementing GUI, web, mobile and beyond.
Trying to manage feature creep? What about seagulling stakeholders? And what content matters most, anyhow?
These questions and other challenges drive content strategy; they’re basic issues to any strategist planning for content and the workflow behind it. But what if you’re not a content strategist? What if you need to empower a team, wrangle a whinging client, and rally everyone around a common vocabulary for your primary navigation… not to mention branded error messaging? No matter your title, it’s time to embrace content strategy, starting with the message architecture.
Brand-driven content strategy complements user-centered design, and this workshop will help you get up to speed on the philosophy, questions, tools, and exercises to implement it. We’ll conduct a hands-on exercise to prioritize communication goals and develop a message architecture—ideal whether you design for the web, mobile apps, social media, or offline experiences. Fancy more efficient engagements? You’ll also discover how a brand attributes cardsort can help you identify potential pitfalls and points of disagreement while you improve organizational alignment.
Then use this foundation to conduct a qualitative and quantitative content audit. We’ll discuss the content opportunities a gap analysis reveals when we use the message architecture as a metric of quality. You’ll leave with the savvy and experience to bring brand-driven content strategy techniques and thinking into your own work.
Presented as a workshop at UX London, #UXLondon, April 12 2013, in Greenwich UK.

UX Open 2015: Designa för extremer - skapa nytta för alla!Sara Lerén
Blixttal på UX Open 2015 om hur med hjälp av inkluderande design kan fokusera på extremer och skapa nytta för alla. Det allra enklaste sättet att inkludera fler är att sluta fråga om kön. Om man ändå måste fråga är det enkelt löst att komplettera med en förklaring till varför man frågar och ett fritextfält för de som inte kan/vill definiera sig som kvinna eller man.

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
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
