The code behind cars: How GitHub turned Ford into a software company
Ford began writing software in the 1980s using assembly on a Motorola 8065 microcontroller to implement electronic fuel injection. Today, there are dozens of Electronic Control Units controlling the features and functions of modern automobiles. Development environments range from auto code generation using tools like Matlab and Simulink to hand-coded C running on multicore architectures. Writing code that powers vehicles carries unique environmental and regulatory compliance requirements, including functional safety, emissions, and warranty. Ford is transforming the way they think about software, thanks to GitHub. What do they build, what do they buy, and what do they collaborate on are common discussions, not only within Ford, but across the auto industry. Each decision poses unique challenges in how they develop and deploy software to their customers. This talk will discuss the history of software engineering at Ford, some of the unique requirements and challenges faced in their systems—and how GitHub is helping them deliver the products their customers want, with the quality they demand at the speed of the modern software industry.

"Good code documents itself" and other lies: Changing work culture through documentation
Most developers have heard “good code documents itself” or “documentation outdates easily, the code does not” at some point. This is an excuse to not write documentation or justify the absence of it. In my work with many teams, the lack of documentation is often a symptom of high technical debt.
What if we could turn this around and use documentation like a driver for positive culture change and start paying the critical technical debt? This approach not only helps teams to faster identify areas that need critical support but also brings more empathy to the table.
In this talk, Tania draws on experiences using documentation as a weapon for positive culture and process change in machine learning and scientific computing environments. She focuses on the processes and approaches that enable the creation of documentation for data scientists, infrastructure, and software engineering teams, and clients.
By the end of the talk, you'll learn efficient techniques to make documentation a first-class citizen in your development cycles—and leave with one or two tricks to convince even the most reluctant developer to document code.

Exemplars, laggards, and the cautious crew: A data-driven look at practices behind exemplar open source projects
In this session, you'll hear about the year-long collaboration between Gene Kim (researcher and co-author of “The Phoenix Project,” “DevOps Handbook,” “Accelerate”), Dr. Stephen Magill, (expert in software security and program analysis), and Sonatype (maintainers of the Maven Central Repository). They examined 10,000 open source Java components that were published to Maven Central and hosted on GitHub. They combined team and project performance metrics from GitHub, popularity data from Maven Central, and vulnerability and dependency data from Sonatype to examine what properties are shared by exemplary open source teams. They discuss these findings, including the differences we see between exemplary small teams and large teams, the fact that popularity does not predict security, and how remarkably difficult it is to keep dependencies patched while being “almost” up-to-date. They also highlight the organizational and technology practices they observe among exemplar open source teams, which release new versions 2x more frequently and remediate security vulnerabilities 3x more quickly, all while delivering a level of value that makes them standouts in terms of popularity and adoption.

Architect
Broadcom
Developer, Architect, Techy focused on modernizing the Mainframe application development space. My main goal is to make Mainframe as any other platform, and attract new talent to the platform.
The modern mainframe: GitHub for social coding and mainframe application development
Rumors of the mainframe's demise have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, mainframe workloads are growing in many Enterprises. Until recently mainframe tooling and development processes have been static - stuck in earlier eras. Non-mainframe developers favor Git and GitHub for their decentralized nature, collaboration, and workflow flexibility. As seasoned mainframe programmers leave the workforce many developers are being hired to enhance, modernize, and manage mainframe applications. This makes the need to provide familiar tools and processes more important than ever.
Recent innovations in mainframe technology have greatly reduced the barriers to entry, combining modern, standard tooling and development processes with the power and reliability of big iron. This session will cover how businesses can modernize their mainframe development experience with tooling including Git, GitHub, and Jenkins, making it easier for a new generation of developers support growing mainframe workloads.

What does it take to transform a federal agency to a lean, product-focused enterprise?
By shifting the focus away from traditional, plan-driven “project management” (e.g., cost management, schedule management, etc.) towards a more user-driven product management approach (e.g., user research, minimum viable products, etc.), the VA has been working to create the best digital experience for Veterans and business customers. Learn how VA went about this massive cultural shift -- to making human centered design (HCD) a requirement, not a “nice to have.”
There’s no point in delivering something on-time and on-budget--if it’s the wrong thing.
The modern mainframe: GitHub for social coding and mainframe application development
Rumors of the mainframe's demise have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, mainframe workloads are growing in many Enterprises. Until recently mainframe tooling and development processes have been static - stuck in earlier eras. Non-mainframe developers favor Git and GitHub for their decentralized nature, collaboration, and workflow flexibility. As seasoned mainframe programmers leave the workforce many developers are being hired to enhance, modernize, and manage mainframe applications. This makes the need to provide familiar tools and processes more important than ever.
Recent innovations in mainframe technology have greatly reduced the barriers to entry, combining modern, standard tooling and development processes with the power and reliability of big iron. This session will cover how businesses can modernize their mainframe development experience with tooling including Git, GitHub, and Jenkins, making it easier for a new generation of developers support growing mainframe workloads.
