High quality content, awesome design, easy-to-use interface, talented coaches and a modern learning experience architecture to build on. The most overlooked and one of the most essential elements is interactivity. It keeps people engaged and it translates into a higher number of finishers, thus more happy clients. Borrow something from the world of games, too. And that's it. A 7 ingredients mix for an elearning experience that rocks!

EU funds are changing; new opportunities will arrive starting 2021! Get a head start on finding a funding source for your innovative product! During the event you will have the opportunity to find out if there are any grants out there for your idea or if it would be better fitted for a crowdfunding campaign. Or both!? You will have the chance to ask questions and find customised financing solutions.

We as developers sometimes lose track of what the society needs and all the different people that exist outside our digital work that will use our product.

We will talk about the tools that citizens have at their disposal to participate and shape the life of the cities they live in and the decision-making process, how we can persuade institutions to engage them more. A special focus will be placed on a conversation about how we can digitize these tools and processes of engagement so that be accessible and actionable.

Techniques and guidelines to develop flexible and reusable components that will make your application more maintainable and structured.

Research is your only ally. In everything. You may think you have the greatest idea of all, but it might just be you and your co-founders. In reality it is highly likely someone thought of it before, failed at it or had a major breakthrough with it. That is no reason to stop building it, but you also need to understand what you can do better and who is your partner or customer. The success of building a start-up, an NGO or a simple initiative is directly connected to how well you have managed to figure out your context, your history and your audience. There is no shortcut in the sense of not doing user research, market research or any other kind of research, but there are definitely best practices to help you validate your ideas and your prototypes in a short time and to understand the core features of your target group in order to build something that makes sense in the long run. So let's talk about how to make your ideas worth trying!

After Covid-19 stroke our lives and our communities, many volunteers, supporters, and activists around the world felt a bit awkward. Suddenly a lot of us felt like everything we could have done to take action was aborted. We had to switch from offline to online. But how? How can we still act on the things we care about? How can we engage with the authorities for a better planet? Can technology help us answer all these questions? I will try to present some of the issues we confront nowadays and where I felt that technology was needed and useful now, as well as when we return to “activism (and not business) as usual”.

If statements are elements of a programming language that allow us to control what statements are executed. By chaining together a series of if statements, we can solve any problem we can think of. But code with too many if statements is hard to read and even harder to change. Workarounds that once allowed us to move fast, now get in the way when we go in to make modifications. It doesn’t have to be this way! This talk demonstrates HOWTO handle complex conditional logic with simple Python classes. The material will be presented in the context of a code refactor for an open-source project: we examine the initial solution featuring duplicate if statements, show how hard it is to make a change, and walk through the process of refactoring if blocks into polymorphic classes. The case study has been simplified to illustrate concepts you can apply to your own code. After this talk, you will be able to identify situations where an object-oriented solution can be used to improve software design. You will also be exposed to tradeoffs we need to think about before refactoring to higher-level abstractions.

After an explosion of internet platforms, time has come for their convergence. This is possible only through a participative culture that draw together the minds and souls of the communities and converge their thrive for a better world, be is economic, civic, cultural, or even political.

Ever wondered how to automate your security testing on the cloud? In this talk I am going to give you a quick start, as well as showing you how to make sure you have all security measures put in place to protect your organisation from any potential vulnerabilities in your source code all the way to the build process.
