An overview of some great digital tools that facilitate a real sense of community - and that make people's lives better - in Vancouver, BC. This was a fast, Pecha Kucha presentation, so the slide deck is mostly images and little text. The final slide lists photo credits along with the names of the individual app developers & companies who created the projects. (I presented this talk at the Vision Vancouver AGM on May 24, 2012.)

Being Indian allows one to enjoy a variety of unique local dishes and street foods. It also provides opportunities to experience diverse landscapes across India like hills, beaches, and deserts. Indian culture embraces different styles of dress for various occasions like casual wear with friends, formal attire at work, and traditional clothes for festivals celebrating Diwali, Holi, and Eid. Indians often speak multiple languages which enables them to connect with people across different states and regions in the country.

The Power of And: Lauren Bacon at Pecha Kucha Night Vancouver

Lauren Bacon

Humans like to think in either/or terms. We like to think that the real world and the virtual world are separate from each other. This is complete bullshit, and most of us know that in our heart of hearts, but we work hard to preserve the dichotomies. There's something about them that we're really attached to. It's hard for us to break these binaries down and recognize the infinite facets and complexities that constitute reality. It's hard for us to move away from "either/or" and embrace the "and". And it's critically important that we do.

Fitter, happier, more productive: How tech can help us be & do better

Lauren Bacon

I gave this talk to the Vancouver User Experience group on April 30, 2013. It's about designing technology in a way that builds people's strengths rather than exploiting their weaknesses. Here's an excerpt that sums up the key message - though out of context it may sound a little more Pollyanna-ish than it will if you listen to the whole talk. "What if our work helped people create something they were proud of… or behave more like their favourite teacher… or do something generous for someone else? "What if we just made it easier to sit still and pay attention to your breathing? "What would the world look like if we built more apps like that?"

When was the last time you enjoyed marketing your business? Or even being marketed to? Many of us associate marketing with icky, pushy, inauthentic, and unwelcome sales pitches - but there's hope for the entrepreneur who knows she needs to market her products or services, despite the ick factor. In this workshop, I give an overview of the 3 types of marketing challenges, wax poetic about how to overcome the ick factor, and explain exactly how to design your very own, custom-built, DIY marketing strategy. There is an accompanying worksheet available at http://bit.ly/diymktg.

Curious for a Living - PNW Drupal Summit

Lauren Bacon

Drupal is awesome, modules are cool, and writing beautiful code is an art and a science. But if you’re spending all your time implementing client requests rather than asking questions, then you’re replaceable — and replaceable doesn’t make for much of a business model. In this talk, I share the key questions you can ask your clients to turn them into loyal, repeat customers — and to make yourself an indispensable, trusted advisor. You’ll learn how to have more fun at work, create better sites, and improve your bottom line, just by letting yourself get curious.

Being Curious for a Living (revised)

Lauren Bacon

The document discusses the importance of being curious and asking questions when working with clients as a web designer or consultant. It suggests that asking questions to understand clients' goals, audiences, and measures of success leads to creating more effective websites that better serve clients' needs. This approach also helps build strong, long-term client relationships through exceeding expectations and delivering results. The document provides examples of good and bad questions to ask, and emphasizes learning clients' purpose, key messages, and integration within their overall strategy.

Social Media Myths (debunked)

Lauren Bacon

The document discusses common myths about social media and provides facts to debunk each one. Some of the myths addressed include that you need to be active on all platforms, that social media is just for marketing, and that going viral should be the goal. The facts provided emphasize that focusing on a few key platforms is better, that social media has uses beyond marketing, and that meeting strategic objectives is more important than views or shares. The overall message is that there are misconceptions about social media and its best uses for organizations.

Wired World Partnerships: The next generation of nonprofit-government collabo...

Lauren Bacon

The document discusses the next generation of partnerships between non-profits and governments. It suggests that these partnerships will involve 1) standardized and faster information sharing through data portals, 2) open government data empowering citizens and non-profits, and 3) technology-supported collaboration and engagement through tools like micro-volunteering websites, wikis, and apps that can benefit the entire non-profit sector. The document raises questions about how to effectively partner through co-creating technology solutions and addresses challenges and opportunities for collaboration.

The Social Web for Skeptics (or, Using the Social Web for Social Change)

Lauren Bacon

Hype, hype, and more hype: To many, the whole Web 2.0 revolution feels like one big bandwagon with little relationship to real-world concerns. And let’s face it: A Twitter account and a Facebook page will not change the world all by themselves. But let’s talk about what’s at the heart of the social web, and where its potential for real change lies. Web 2.0 has been around for a while now, and we’ve learned some important lessons about what works. In this presentation, I share five effective strategies for facilitating social change movements online, and encourage you to identify your own top priorities for using the social web to further your organizational mission.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024

Hiroshi SHIBATA

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems. 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.
