Open Source in the DoD; Build It

Aki Spicer, Fallon's Director of Digital Strategy will reveal some learnings and tips for account planners trying to operationalize the process of concepting, selling and building applications and digital tools.  Learn some pitfalls to avoid, shortcuts for bridging the gap between "start-up" culture and agency culture, guidance for selling apps to clients who are "bottom-line" or "ad message" minded, and shifting your teams from campaign thinking to service mentality. http://planningness.com September 30th – October 1st at Denver’s, Space Gallery.

Presented at Strategic Research Institute's 8th Annual Defense & Aerospace Investor & Corporate Development Conference

This document discusses O'Reilly's approach to content, communities, and technical documentation. It notes that O'Reilly aims to spread knowledge, create more value than it captures, and work on important topics. It also discusses engaging communities around content through various events and formats. The document provides examples showing how engagement and open formats for documentation led to financial success and large user bases for various technical books and documentation projects hosted on platforms like GitHub.

Open Source can be a great foundation for building a business. That being said, keeping the balance between community building and commercial activities can be tricky. In this talk I want to share my experience and practical tips, which can help you leverage OS and boost your business, while meeting fantastic people and learning a lot in the process.

Talk originally given at FISL 2012 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Video was on YouTube but regrettably taken down. Fortunately, I gave a slightly updated (and frankly, tighter and better produced) version of this at the Liferay Symposium in the fall of 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm8P4oCIY3g

My presentation at WebVisions Portland in May 2012. Speaker notes / narrative included! Please forgive the cues & odd little notes to myself for presenting purposes.

The document discusses programmable telecoms, including various acronyms related to communications platforms and services. It notes that programmable telecoms includes any telecom-related capabilities that are programmable or configurable. Estimates for the size of the communications platforms and services market in 2021 are provided, with the total estimated to be over $100 billion that year. The document also describes TADHack, a global hackathon event focused on telecoms, internet, and IT technologies that helps people build solutions to problems in their communities.

The document summarizes Chris Messina's talk at the Google Science Communication Innovation Workshop on June 14, 2011. The talk discussed three main topics: spreading the use of the Firefox browser through volunteer efforts, using hashtags to join online conversations, and the concept of generativity which refers to how adaptable and accessible a system is for new contributors to build upon.

The document provides guidance for companies expecting a surge in website traffic from an event like appearing on ABC's Shark Tank. It discusses lessons learned from preparing dozens of Shark Tank companies for their episodes. Key recommendations include strengthening technical infrastructure with a hosting provider, simplifying websites, prioritizing essentials, and having a backup plan like a stripped-down landing page. The overall message is that unexpected traffic requires a systematic approach and focus on critical functionality to avoid crashes.

This document provides information for attendees of DEF CON 27, including details about the conference theme and facilities, the code of conduct, network access instructions, and information about DEF CON Goons. The key points are: - DEF CON 27 will be held across four hotels with more space for workshops, villages, and a night club. The conference badge is a wrist-worn "Crystal Electronic Badge" that tracks tasks completed around the event. - The code of conduct prohibits harassment and outlines procedures for reporting any issues. Network access is provided on the encrypted "DefCon" and unencrypted "DefCon-Open" WiFi networks. - DEF CON TV and media servers will provide content across hotels

This document outlines a meeting agenda for Rails for Charity, an organization that builds open source web applications to help improve society. The agenda discusses the mission to use technology skills to address social problems, potential areas of contribution like healthcare and education, benefits like experience and collaboration, and plans to incubate ideas, form project teams, and iteratively develop and deploy applications using open source tools. The overall goal is to engage a diverse group of volunteers across technical and non-technical roles to create social impact through open source software.

This document summarizes a blog post by the CEO of a microcap company announcing a new alliance with Origin Digital to build their streaming media platform, Odaptor, into the core of the company's product, CloudChannel. The partnership will allow CloudChannel to eliminate waste by integrating an existing video platform instead of building their own from scratch. It will also help them deliver products to market faster and be able to scale quickly to handle large user demand. The partnership provides credibility and proven technology that CloudChannel can leverage in their sales and marketing.

This document outlines a meeting for Rails for Charity, an organization that builds open source web applications to help improve society. The agenda includes introducing members, discussing the mission to create technology for social good, identifying areas for contribution like healthcare and education, and benefits like resume building. Members will pitch ideas and form teams to iteratively develop working versions, with tools like GitHub, Pivotal Tracker, Travis CI, and Heroku. Diverse skills are welcomed to collaborate on challenging problems with a direct social impact.

Video content is accountable for 50 percent of the growth of the internet year on year. Yet so many marketers are still unaware or unprepared to invest in video content. This presentation dives into the technologies, strategies and solutions that are driving the future of video content.

The document discusses what open source software vendors (OSVs) need to do to develop "Dream products" in collaboration with computer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). It states that balanced products with well-integrated hardware and optimized software are rare, and that most are from proprietary vendors controlling both. It recommends that to successfully work with OEMs, OSVs need to be engaged early in concept development and ensure shared goals through trusted relations and joint teams. Using common standards, shared risks and rewards can motivate high performance and better satisfy customers. Open design practices embracing open source principles across the entire development process may help OEMs and OSVs create more successful Dream products together.

Presented at Velocity Conference in September in New York City. The information age is replacing the industrial age and corporations are going through changes as big as their original adoption of bureaucracy as an organizing principle. This talk describes the notion of "Intentional Emergence" in a corporate setting. The idea that managers and technologists should create conditions for emergent outcomes rather than always focusing on the outcome itself. DevOps and other mechanisms for a more dynamic IT culture are important to this end.

This document discusses how corporations can leverage digital technologies to enhance their intelligence. It suggests that a corporation's intelligence (IQcorp) depends on factors like fluid intelligence (Gf), crystallized intelligence (Gc), quantitative reasoning (Gq), memory (Gsm/Glr), processing speed (Gs), and decision speed (Gt). While humans currently excel in areas like fluid intelligence, digital technologies can augment corporations in other factors like crystallized intelligence, memory, and processing speed through techniques such as analytics, machine learning, and collaborative workflows. The document argues that through a symbiotic human-machine relationship, corporations can develop super-human levels of intelligence.

The document discusses how corporations can become more innovative by adopting post-bureaucratic models that allow for emergent and networked behaviors. It argues that intentionally enabling emergence through open source practices, low barriers to participation, and generative systems can produce unanticipated innovation from broad audiences. The key is impedance matching organizations to the decentralized world through policies, architectures, and cultures that enhance long-tail contribution from self-organizing groups.

This document discusses how organizations can transition from traditional bureaucratic models to more emergent, networked models that are better suited for the information age. It notes that fully centralized planning is not feasible for complex systems, and that allowing for more decentralized, emergent processes can enhance flexibility and growth. The key aspects discussed include: - Adopting more permeable boundaries and "post-bureaucratic" internal characteristics at the organizational edge - Distinguishing between the planned core and more emergent, networked surroundings/edge - Making choices that increase a system's "generativity" through openness, low barriers to participation, and community involvement - Impedance matching the organization with the decentralized,

Slides for a talk at the FIRST / CEP round table meeting on 11/12/10 in NYC. I will post my speaker notes elsewhere.

Transition from industrial to network age means Army IT isn't just about doing C2 better, it's about enabling internal small world networks and emergence.

The document discusses several key points about cyber warfare and coding: 1. Coding is a form of maneuver in cyber warfare, as code can be changed and adapted quickly to respond to new threats or vulnerabilities. Technological agility will be important in cyber warfare where there are no compensating physical assets. 2. Cyber situational awareness is different than traditional battlespace awareness, but they should still be related. Integrating cyber and physical target data will be important for coordination. 3. Culture is important in cyber operations and cannot be done in isolation. Participating in communities of practice and using open source tools and techniques will be necessary to learn from others and adapt quickly to changes.

A while back I created this training material for project managers in 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. I am now sharing it widely since it is useful to a broader audience. A central theme is that project management is much more than putting together presentations. It covers all kinds of high-level cognitive efforts, which is why it is exciting (at first). It is also important to note that you do not improvise your way into project management. It is a well-developed craft that is far down its experience curve. I started my career at McKinsey & Company in 1984 and was an Engagement Manager between 1986 and 1989. I then became a partner. So my project management days are long gone, but I have interacted with and trained countless young consultants since. The document is not a manual. If you follow it 100% you would not have time to do your project management job. But I trust there is always an idea or two that is useful on any project. To me, the most difficult part of this document was to create the 18 rays with the grey contours. It involves some trigonometry. Getting this right was fun.
