Use Your Words: Content Strategy to Influence BehaviorLiz Danzico
What if we were truly open to the language in our cities, our neighborhoods, our city blocks? What is our environment telling us to do?
In this workshop, we’ll let the language of the city guide us to explore how words, specifically the words of our immediate contexts, shape our behavior. By being open to the possibilities, we’ll explore how language influences both the micro and macro actions we take. We’ll go on expeditions in the morning—studying street signs to doorways to receipts—comparing patterns in the language maps we’ll construct. In the afternoon, we’ll look at what these patterns suggest for the products and services we design.
You’ll walk away having learned how words influence behavior, how products and services have used language for behavior change, and having tools for thinking about language and behavior change in the work you do.
Spend the day letting words use you, so you can go back to work to use them with renewed wisdom.

I am often asked how to contribute to Open Source. We all use it, benefit from it and we the value added, and at some point we start to feel bad of being just consumers. "Maybe I should help out? What if I fixed these 2 bugs I hit everyday?", some of us think. In this talk I'm going to talk about what I learned about dynamics of open source projects and how you can make contributing back to them your daily habit. Open source often has high quality bar and some of us are hesitant to publicly making mistakes during learning curve, but I found that it's the best way to learn as an engineer. After this talk I hope you'll see how leaving your mark in your favorite tools can be useful and fulfilling.
Interviews with well-known game industry vets Niklas Lundberg, John Romero, Ivan-Assen Ivanov with lots of gems of programming advice for students around structure and design of their programs. The advice here should be really valuable for /anyone/ making software.
My thanks to Tea Time With Testers for interviewing me as a feature story for their July 2013 issue. In this interview, I discuss discovering testing, dynamics of live blogging, technical skill development, return of investment on automation, an alternative to formal education and degrees, SummerQAmp and other topics.
Make things people want verses make people want things. Technology and the minutia of bullshit that proclaims to promote it get's uncovered and tortured by Steve Price, along with some examples of great things.

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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:
Bob Boule

6. So I went to New Zealand Consulate and asked if it was true. And they said: "Indeed. New Zealanders can visit Australia without a Visa". And I said:"Well, I wanna be a New Zealander. My father is a New Zealander. Can I get a New Zealand passport?" And they said: "Certainly, Sir. Go down to the basement, get some pictures taken, bring them up". And I did, and they did, and they made me a passport. Joel Spolsky
12. Q:How do you tell an introverted computer programmer from an extroverted computer programmer?
13. A: An extroverted computer programmer looks at your shoes when he talks to you.
14. “In the early years of programming, a program was regarded as the private property of the programmer. One would no more think of reading a colleague's program unbidden than of picking up a love letter and reading it.”
15. “This is essentially what a program was, a love letter from the programmer to the hardware, full of the intimate details known only to partners in an affair.”

17. This series of books is affectionately dedicatedto the Type 650 computer once installed atCase Institute of Technology,in remembrance of many pleasant evenings.Donald Knuthdedication toThe Art of Computer Programming1968

19. One of the great pioneers of computer and online gaming, Dani Berry died in 1998. Some of her aphorisms are still frequently quoted by game developers, including ”No one ever said on their deathbed, ‘Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer.’”
33. Modern programming may be a social activity, but programmers are still introverted and anti-social.* What motivates us to work with confusing, complicated, erratic people instead of simple computers? *and that’s how we like it!
36. I don’t have to agree with you I don’t have to be “friends” with you I don’t even have to like you … but we have a shared passion, a shared enemy, and we can learn from each other.
37. The currency of Stack Overflow is information. Programmers map social relationships on top of that. Do you really need software to tell you who your friends are?
40. Work is when your boss tells you to do something, you do it, and you get paid. work is motivated by inherent interest and generally unpaid.
41.
42. Usability testing techniques developed over the past 25 years for Work no longer apply for work. We shouldn't be asking, “Can you complete the task?” but rather “Are you motivated to do it in the first place?”

45. Little-w work: Tiny slices of frictionless effort Amortized across the entire community
46. “If you take Wikipedia as a kind of unit, all of Wikipedia, the whole project --every page, every edit, every talk page, every line of code, in every language that Wikipedia exists in -- that represents something like the cumulation of 100 million hours of human thought.”
47. Fast, fast, fast No registration required Simple Markdown formatting Edit anything, anytime (with rep) Every question has an input box at the bottom, inviting you to participate and share what you know

50. “I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby) [...] I'd like to know what features most people would want.” “Humor me. Go there and add a little article. It will take all of five or ten minutes.” “In the past, we could do little things for love, but big things required money. Now, we can do big things for love.”
Editor's Notes
Good programmers write. Great programmers steal.Joel and I wanted a mashup of all the social website concepts that we knew worked at places where programmers hang out.We did a LOT of research into sites that worked.
Let’s start with a static phpBB style discussion forum. A chronological list of messages.
Voting – digg/reddit. AJAX style. So the best stuff goes to the top. You don’t have to read 40 messages to find that one nugget of useful technical information buried in there.
Bring in editing. So a year later, after this API has been deprecated, or if there’s a better way to do this, users can change their posts.Note that editing brings in discussion about the editing as well. This is important.
Blogs –owner authorship. From delicious, the concept of tagging.
Finally, bringing it all together. A Web 3.0 forum.
Loving not necessarily each other, because people can be hard to love – but loving the thing we are creating together for the future.
