Diversity has become a kind of mainstream topic.

But what does Diversity mean? And what does Diversity mean on a global level? Things that are perfectly normal in one country are far beyond reach in another one.

Let me take you on a journey to a lot of things we all can do to scale diversity to a global level. To not only help the people in "underdeveloped" countries but also help our own tech communities to grow and to include diverse ideas

With the global pandemic situation, I've had to make many adjustments to my normal routine: one of the main changes was that it meant I had the chance to actually use that spare room in our house so that I could mount a dedicated home office.

After the winter months however, I began to realize that I wasn't being as productive as I was at the office itself and with the prospect that working from home was going to be the new standard, I decided to take matters into my own hands and do some changes.

Because of this, one of the first things I wanted to address was the lighting itself: easier said than done because when I wanted to buy a fixture, I was confronted with an option list that included words such as drivers, controllers, color temperature, watts, UGR, lumens, lux, different codes such as 840, 865, etc.

Accompany me on this journey I took to renovate the lighting at my home office where instead of teaching about code, I'll teach something that will make you code more comfortably!

While as communities we often relish in our own comfortable bubble, it is important to remember that every open source project is build on the shoulders of giants.

Join us for a conversation between Tonya and Juliette, in which they explore the landscape of open source projects. They will take a look at how contributing can take many forms and can have unexpected trickle down (or up) effects; and how we can all work together to create a brighter future for both our own projects as well as the wider open source community.

No, it’s not skynet. Hypermedia – and the concept of HATEOAS – may seem a little intimidating at first glance. But it’s not so much about generic API clients that can crawl any compliant API, and more about just applying concepts that have worked well for human navigation of the web to our APIs.

In this session, we’ll consider the benefits of avoiding client-side path construction. We’ll also take a look at how applying some simple hypermedia concepts to our request/response design can open up significant potential for improvement, and greatly simplify the code consumers of our API have to write.

As a very senior IC you are expected to lead and drive adoption of engineering best practices at a time when your daily interactions with code have never been less. How can you effectively deliver change when you don't control the code that is produced? This talk will show you techniques that allow you to be an effective change agent without being a dictator, allowing you to guide direction and build consensus without controlling every step.

Scrum. More and more companies work with this Agile methodology. Yet there is a lot of dissatisfaction within development teams about this "method". Why does Scrum continue to gain popularity, and why are so many developers dissatisfied with this way of working? This talk shares the story of how I told a team to stop doing Scrum and how this helped them to improve collaboration and deliver working software again.

Your code can be all rainbows and unicorns, cutting and shining, but if there’s no documentation, does it even exist?

Documentation can make or break your open source project. Don’t believe me? Let me tell you a story or three about writing and managing documentation for the largest open source CMS community. The WordPress documentation.
