Scaling GitHub - A look at the technology behind the worlds largest code host

Sam Lambert (GitHub)

Collaborating with Hubot for a more efficient DevOps workflow

Brent Beer (GitHub)

Collaborating with Hubot for a more efficient DevOps workflow

Brent Beer (GitHub)

Have you been told that your company is moving to a more DevOps development culture, but you have no idea what that really means? Everyone wants to run a more productive and agile engineering team by balancing the competing priorities of rapid releases and stable systems. DevOps is a movement that everyone is either wishing they had, talking about setting up, or getting ready to implement. But how does a chat robot fit into this, how can it help speed things up, and how can everyone on the team learn from each others' successes and failures at the same time?
In this talk we'll introduce you to Hubot, an open source robot who sits in your company's chat client to help your developers by doing most of the heavy lifting. We'll look at how he can bring GitHub and many core DevOps tools and philosophies to developers' fingertips and why everyone on the team gains from this benefit. We'll also see how easy it can be to configure Hubot to plug into other tools that integrate with GitHub and what results we can expect to see from using Hubot. By the end of this session, we will have outline why using Hubot is better for individuals and teams, while increasing the speed to develop any of your features.

11:00 - 11:40

In pursuit of open source security

Marjori Pomarole (Facebook) & Javier Marcos (Facebook)

In pursuit of open source security

Marjori Pomarole (Facebook) & Javier Marcos (Facebook)

Open software platforms are helping the security industry achieve important goals by enabling better communication, information sharing, and code quality. But open source security differs from other open source communities in a number of ways, as we learned with osquery. The vision for open source security is for offensive and defensive security professionals to work together on important security challenges, benefit from shared knowledge, and drive the industry forward. During this talk, engineers from the Facebook security team will discuss what they've learned building and supporting the most popular security project on GitHub and how that lead to the development of a new open source project for the GitHub community that will be debuted during this talk.

Social coding at SAP

Thomas Jansen (SAP)

Social coding at SAP

Thomas Jansen (SAP)

Learn how we have introduced and scaled GitHub Enterprise at SAP and why it plays a crutial role in SAPs cloud transformation. We will showcase how different teams are using GitHub in their delivery pipeline and how SAP is adopting open source style workflows internally.

11:40 - 12:20

Prototyping the Internet of Things

Erica Stanley (Women Who Code)

Prototyping the Internet of Things

Erica Stanley (Women Who Code)

How do you begin to build a product that can take any shape, communicate with a user in a number of ways and collect constant streams of data using an array of sensors? You prototype quickly and cheaply to allow for iterative validation. Fortunately for us, rapid prototyping for IoT has never been more accessible. Many tools are open source with vibrant maker community support, but you have to understand what’s available in the your toolbox to know what you can build.
This talk will help you understand the tools available to you, while also defining a process for bringing them together into a highly usable, well-integrated, connected device. We’ll discuss:

• how to use design thinking to brainstorm and refine your ideas
• interaction options beyond touch screens
• hardware prototyping
• the software and connectivity necessary to bring your idea to life.

Optimizing for cognitive workflows: why continuous delivery isn't just for tools

Laurent Ploix (Spotify)

Optimizing for cognitive workflows: why continuous delivery isn't just for tools

Laurent Ploix (Spotify)

As we scale our continuous delivery processes for a large development organisation, developers get more and more updates every day regarding automated test results, performance regressions, code coverage, etc. Would we design our feedback loops the same way if we put the developers first? Let's optimise the cognitive workflow of our developers; and design our supporting CD tools from this angle.

14:20 - 15:00

Building cross-platform apps with Electron

Panel: every company is a software company

Moderated by Kakul Strivastava (GitHub), with Eric Bowman (Zalando), Thomas Sugden (UBS), & Jerry Caupain (KPN).

We already know that software is eating the world. The real question has quickly become: how will companies use software to win? Hear from technologists from Zalando, KPN, UBS and Tesco about how they are embracing software in unexpected parts of their companies. In a conversation moderated by GitHub Vice President of Product and Marketing Kakul Srivastava, the panelists will discuss how their teams are using modern software-building tools to improve their businesses, why it's critical to build a world-class engineering team, and ultimately how to use software to deliver world-class products and services.

How we built GOV.UK without breaking the web

Jenny Duckett (GOV.UK) & Alex Muller (GOV.UK)

The Government Digital Service is transforming the UK government by improving services so that they're simpler, clearer and faster for people to use. GDS built GOV.UK, the single website for government, and has started work on shared platforms like application hosting, payments and notifications.
Jenny and Alex will introduce GDS, describe some of the tools and processes that go into building and running GOV.UK in the open, and talk in detail about how we closed hundreds of government websites and maintain redirects to GOV.UK so that links to the old sites continue to work.

Staying sane with small incremental releases

Ron Cohen (Opbeat)

Staying sane with small incremental releases

Ron Cohen (Opbeat)

Frustrated by huge code reviews? Blocked by something your co-worker is refactoring? Nervous about shipping? These are all symptoms that your releases are too big. I'll talk about how to make sure you ship small incremental releases so you keep momentum, increase team happiness and become a mean shipping machine."

Using pull requests to drive continuous delivery

Guðmundur Bjarni Ólafsson (Heroku)

Using pull requests to drive continuous delivery

Guðmundur Bjarni Ólafsson (Heroku)

"Developers all know this story. We have this piece of software that runs in the cloud. All the code lives on GitHub, and is tested with Travis CI. There is a production app, a staging app, and maybe, sometimes, a development app, and then there are the local development environments.
Delivering the code to these environments, usually tends to involve a series of manual steps, tweaking, fairy dust, and hoping for the best. We all dream for Continuous Delivery, where we've automated a good chunk of this work, and at the push of a button, this just, well, happens.
For the past year, Heroku has been working on addressing this. We've come up with a structured workflow for Continuous Delivery, which we call Heroku Flow. We can automatically deploy to staging when CI passes and allow you to manually promote to production when ready. Create and tear down ephemeral development environments for all of your pull requests."

The API flow

Zdenek Nemec (Apiary)

The API flow

Zdenek Nemec (Apiary)

Building an API takes more than coding a backend implementation. APIs are all about dialog. It takes culture, understanding, communication and collaboration to build a truly great API. The GitHub flow forms the backbone of the modern API-building process.
In this talk we will take a look at what a modern API-building flow looks like, and how the GitHub flow is utilized in its every phase. From the API design, server development to delivery and consumption. We will walk through the phases of the API flow and take a look at the steps necessary to build a great API that scales and lasts.
The phases we will cover are:

• Preparation — what your team needs before building an API
• Design & Prototype — how to collaboratively design and prototype your API
• Code API — how to (CI) test your API while you are building it
• Ship 🚀– how to hand over your API to its users’ hands
• Code Clients — help users to understand your API and to succeed
• Analyze — analyze every phase and improve your API in the next iteration

Hey 'Please confirm this!'. That's what we kept on hearing every single day last week before having the venue for the Lisbon Investment Summit closed...  So, when I get down to the office this morning, kind of still asleep, and find Pedro Caio, our Head of Operations, staring at his computer and yelling at me: ‘Come check this out!’. While I was struggling to keep my eyes open, I look down at the screen and say ‘Wow, that’s incredible, where is it? Is it a concert hall?’. He turned up to me, with a proud smile on his face, and said: ‘This is our venue for the Lisbon Investment Summit 2016’ For those who attended the conference last year and loved that historical hidden palace, brace yourselves.
