The frontier, the cloud and eating your dogfoodUpstarts.tv
I will be talking about the Cloud and how 'Thinking differently' about how to make use of the Cloud is much more than saving costs on IT infrastructure. Cloud allows access to big a immense amount of data (every two days the Web Doubles). In this pool of information are patterns and vast stores of intelligence. Presently in 2012 we are on the Frontier of Singularity- Software like Apple's Siri uses the Cloud to find Patterns, (versus traditional IBM Brute Force Computing). Behavior Driven Development used in software creation describes how the software should behave (after built) in plain easy to understand text. This serves as the story about the purpose of the technology, an aid and objectives for the engineers to build it, and as a test for the outcome. Using Behavior Driven development (Human Stories) with Cloud (remember that massive pool of information) lets you have amazingly fast cycles of evolution, each cycle passing or failing then improving.
Do you understand where this is heading? We are getting smarter faster- at an exponential (doubling) rate. In April of 2012 This is happening today, the wave is already cresting. This is not something that is ABOUT to happen, its already happened -and the successful companies and brands are doing it. Every Business is now a Software Business. How you understand what IS happening, and what YOU need to do determines if you and your business are dinosaurs soon to be extinct...or if you are leading the way on the Cloud Frontier.

We are getting smarter faster, we use the current technology to invent the next technology and on and on. The rate of technology evolution is EXPONENTIAL not linear. We will have 100 years of evolution by 2020. In this century we will have 20,000 years of technology evolution.

While Beyoncé may answer this question with a loud, enthusiastic “GIRLS”, let’s be real: the people in technology are making this world go around. And in STEM careers and STEM majors, the gender gap is still clearly in effect. In this talk, a recent high school graduate and Girls in Tech leader will offer a fresh perspective about the disconnect between girls and careers in technology, despite the ongoing efforts by many to close this gap. We'll get real about why we still aren’t seeing enough girls pursue these careers, why it’s still important to change this, and how we can all become better allies (or “STEMinists”) to help fix the issue.
Design serves one purpose and one purpose only: to gain the trust of its intended audience. Whether the need is for clarity or to obscure information, design is a tool we use not to convey information, but to present that information in a way that the viewer will perceive as confident and competent. Once that basic line of trust is established, it is only then that design can clearly work to help turn data into knowledge and knowledge into understanding. In this session, Jason will present the 9 principles of trust for design, and look at how they can be practically applied to improve any design.

Notes Included: A Thought becomes an idea becomes a dream, a movement and meme.
We need to focus on what can be, what will be not WHAT IS.
A thought becomes an idea or dream, becomes a meme (collective idea, or collective mind virus) it spreads following small world math 6 degrees through a population. Poverty is a Mind Virus a meme, a consciousness and a way of life.
Any marketer worth his salt knows that 80% or so of the population react to a pain versus 20% being proactive. This means 80% of people want to loose weight versus 20% getting in shape. This means 80% of people want to Get out of debt now, versus 20% of people wanting to invest for the future.
Well I am here to say, we can stop the pain. We can get out of debt now, and we can solve the problems facing us today. Innovation, that spark is the only way. Not the government, not an industry, that spark starts with us, right here and right now.

Devcon APC 2010 facebook found my laptop the power of small world mathUpstarts.tv
Everyone knows the small-world phenomenon: soon after meeting a stranger, we are surprised to discover that we have a mutual friend, or we are connected through a short chain of acquaintances. In his book, Duncan Watts uses this intriguing phenomenon--colloquially called "six degrees of separation"--as a prelude to a more general exploration: under what conditions can a small world arise in any kind of network?
The networks of this story are everywhere: the brain is a network of neurons; organisations are people networks; the global economy is a network of national economies, which are networks of markets, which are in turn networks of interacting producers and consumers. Food webs, ecosystems, and the Internet can all be represented as networks, as can strategies for solving a problem, topics in a conversation, and even words in a language. Many of these networks, the author claims, will turn out to be small worlds.
How do such networks matter? Simply put, local actions can have global consequences, and the relationship between local and global dynamics depends critically on the network's structure. Watts illustrates the subtleties of this relationship using a variety of simple models---the spread of infectious disease through a structured population; the evolution of cooperation in game theory; the computational capacity of cellular automata; and the sychronisation of coupled phase-oscillators.
Watts's novel approach is relevant to many problems that deal with network connectivity and complex systems' behaviour in general: How do diseases (or rumours) spread through social networks? How does cooperation evolve in large groups? How do cascading failures propagate through large power grids, or financial systems? What is the most efficient architecture for an organisation, or for a communications network? This fascinating exploration will be fruitful in a remarkable variety of fields, including physics and mathematics, as well as sociology, economics, and biology.
The Internet is constantly evolving. As the speed, flexibility and complexity of connections increase exponentially, the Web is increasingly beginning to resemble a biological analog; the human brain. But what exactly is it that’s makes us, or the Web, smart?
In the brain, neurologists now believe that it is the density and flexibility of the connections between neurons, not simply neurons themselves, which are at the root of intelligence. These connections are called Synapses.
Even if the total number of brain cells, or neurons, begins to diminish in early adulthood, our ability to generate new connections between neurons and between different parts of the brain – what neurologist call “plasticity” - persists throughout life. What's more, the brain seems to be like any other muscle in that plasticity can be increased with exercise.
It is at the synapse, the "gap" between one neuron and another, where neural connections are consummated to create pathways that, when used, are reinforced with additional connections and, when unused, are "pruned" to make way for new, more useful pathways. It is these incredible chemical bridges that define the patterns of communication that, at any given time, define our cognitive capacity.
We believe that this evolving view of neural science provides an increasingly apt metaphor for what we call the "Synaptic Web" in that the connections between objects are more important than the objects themselves. The question is; how are these connections changing to create new experiences? In other words, there is an opportunity to stop looking at the nodes and start looking at the space between them.
The exploding variety, speed and flexibility of electronic connections - those between people, data sets, applications, the real world and the online world, gestures and meaning and content and communication – is at the root of what some have called an evolving “collective intelligence.” Thus, the Synaptic Web is about the evolution of the Internet from document delivery platform, to a platform for communication ("2.0") and now towards something much more profound: a dynamic web of adaptive "organic" and implicit connections whereby real-time information flows give structure and meaning to previously unconnected sets of data. The Internet is a sea of conversations streaming through connections, and these patterns have meaning.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.
