This presentation will teach you the things that went well, and the things that did not go well in our journey to move our 20 people Drupal agency from a service company (bill by the hour) to a product SaaS company (bill per product, per month) called Open Social.
We will talk about funding your product, building a product, how to do marketing, sales and business development and how to grow internationally. We hope to discuss some questions as how to work with open-source and SaaS and does it help us or limit us competing with proprietary software vendors.
If you are thinking about building a product on Drupal or building a SaaS company, this is your session!

UX DURING MODULE INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATIONDrupalCamp Kyiv
I bet everyone in his/her life used OS Windows. There are a lot of opinions on it, but, to be honest, there is one huge advantage it has - installation wizards. Almost every programme that is being installed has some kind of interaction with end user. This gives at least the illusion of control over your system and of course it allows to have already preconfigured first time experience inside application. Some wizards give more options, some less, but it is nice to have it in the first place.
So, let's think about a Drupal user, that wants to install such a complex module like Metatags or Commerce. Although there are a lot of tutorials, documents and other help materials, there is always something that prevents end users from completing this "piece of cake" for developers task on his/her own. But all that he/she needs is only make it possible to add Metatags, let's say of OG type, to content type article.

FROM DISTRO TO CUSTOM - HOW WE CREATE GREAT COMMUNITIES FOR EVERY ORGANIZATIO...DrupalCamp Kyiv
GoalGorilla build with Open Social one of the biggest Distributions in Drupal. This distribution builds the foundation for over 1000 communities world wide. We build ourselfs some big communities for clients like the UN, Greenpeace, the Dutch Government and others. All of this clients have a very specific profile and very specific needs. All of them are from different sectors: From NGOs, to Goverment organizations, Voluntary platforms, learning platforms and much more. As well all of our clients have at core a community the goals of the community and the key features for them to reach those goals are different every time. As much as we can rely on the distribution to cover the basics and a even more, every client is different and most bigger communities needs customizations to make the step from a good to a great community.
With every new client new challenges arise. With this talk I want to share some of the insights we gathered over the last 3 years, talk about how to navigate the pitfalls of customizing a Distribution and show how we fit different platforms to the specific requirements of different clients.
This talk is for:
- Developers who use or want to use Open Social (We will discuss some modules we use and technical choices, but it will not be primarily a technical talk)
- Professionals working with online communities
- Project managers or Designers that need to conceptualize projects that are based on a Distribution

DEVOPS & THE DEATH AND REBIRTH OF CHILDHOOD INNOCENCEDrupalCamp Kyiv
Remember when the internet was pure and unspoiled? In our innocence we saw the promise of renewal of the world through connecting, sharing, and creating online. We became developers and hackers because we wanted to understand how things work, to take them apart, and build quirky (and sometimes useful) things just for the pleasure of it.
In the earliest decades of the Internet Epoch the Internet was a playground. We happily coded directly on production systems. And it was fine, as many Great Things were created. But the Internet has matured, and has now become Big Business. Developers have matured too, and good thing they did! So many people now rely on what we’ve built, for security, for privacy, for the paycheck at the end of the month. We matter.
Maturity has come at a price though, and deploying well tested code into complex applications with polyglot teams working with heterogeneous stacks, all while maintaining compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, etc. has taken all of the childhood innocence out of the web. Now even the simplest website seems like Hard Work.
In this talk I will show how we can, and should, regain our joyful demeanor, how we can use the maturity of the most innovative tools around us to start hacking like crazy again. Without regressing on agility, testing, compliance, scalability or robustness. I use the metaphor of childhood innocence to explain how the complexity of modern cloud computing, in combination with increasing quality expectations and compliancy, has curtailed the creative freedom of developers, and as a whole, organisational motivation.
Together with a lack of resources and idea time, this leads to lower and slower product innovation. We are, however, at the brink of a paradigm shift in cloud computing that will give developers and hackers their mojo again. This talk will zoom into the key elements of this paradigm shift, and provide an overview of the basic concepts and operational practices of the new age of developer innocence.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

24. MRR = Monthly Recurring Revenue
Usually your monthly SaaS fee, your client pays you
every month or every year.
Ideally this price goes up each month or year when you
deliver more value to your client (usage, features,
interactions).
ARR = anual recurring revenue
In US your company could be worth 100 x MRR..
So a 500 EUR/month client adds 50.000k to your
company value..
25. Churn %
How many clients stop paying for your product every
month?
Needs to be as low as possible. But too low and you
might charge enough.
Lock them in (for example with data) vs. Open
26. CAC = Cost to Acquire a Customer
Say your cost are 10.000 euro a month for marketing
and sales and that gives you 2 new clients.
CAC = 10.000 / 2 = 5.000 euro
How many months to recover CAC?
5.000 / 500 euro = 10 months, in general <1 year
27. LTV = Customer Life Time Value
ARPA = avr. Monthly recurring Revenue per Account = MRR
31. CAC = Cost to Acquire a Customer
Cost are 12.000 euro a month for marketing and sales
and gives us 1 new clients.
CAC = 12.000 / 1 = 12.000 euro
How many months to recover CAC?
12.000 / 1.000 euro = 12 months
