There has never been a more exciting time for us to be building software. From fashion to e-commerce, gaming to energy generation - we are building incredible systems no matter where you look. Many of these technologies will improve the world, and as a software developer, I couldn’t be more excited.
However, I find myself conflicted as a cyber security person; it’s not like we have an excellent track record in securing this space so far.
I have concluded that to secure the future; we need to embrace it and understand it. (how hard could it be?). So I started collecting stories and interviewing 1000 engineers worldwide. The stories of the systems we dream of building and the nightmare that cyber security could pose if we don’t get it right, and how we could address that issue.
In this talk, we will look at these amazing technologies, their stories, and, most importantly, what we need to change if we are going to protect the software that will change the world.

Open Source is Dead, Long Live Open Source
/ Keynote /
Donald Christie

Time: Thu, 18 May 2023
Room: Main room

Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua.
I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past.”
The world of open source software (OSS) has come a long way since its inception, and it's worth taking a look back at what has been achieved. However, as we delve into the past, we also need to be aware of the mistakes we have made along the way. In this keynote presentation, Donald Christie, the founder and the Managing Director at Catalyst IT, will explore the evolution of OSS and examine the challenges that threaten its future.

From 'them' to 'us': Demystifying Drupal contribution
/ Drupal Development /
Pamela Barone & Lee Rowlands
===
Time: Wed, 17 May 2023
Room: Main room
===
Millions of people use Drupal, but a small fraction of those contribute in a given year. That's enough to make Drupal one of the biggest open-source projects in the world, but it still leaves a high proportion of takers to makers.
Contributing to a project the size of Drupal can be overwhelming, and some who want to contribute struggle to find a way. But we need new contributors in order to ship new versions and releases on time.
In this session we'll examine the contribution ecosystem, from the perspective of two/three members of the core committer team: pameeela, quietone and larowlan.
They will share:
* some of their background and various skillsets
* how they came to become part of the committer team
* insights into how Drupal is actually built
The session will cover topics such as the issue queue, community channels, roles and processes that keep the project moving towards it goals.
Instead of asking, "Why haven't they fixed that bug yet?" or "Why haven't they added that feature yet?" this session aims to get you thinking, "How can I help fix that bug?" and "How can I progress that feature?"
In other words, go from taker to maker!
If you're new to Drupal, this session might help you find your niche and be your impetus for getting more involved in this amazing community. If you've been around a long time, you might find answers to questions you've always wanted to ask but never did.
The session will be delivered in two parts, the first part with the two/three presenters sharing their insights, and the second part open the floor to the audience to ask their questions.

Build Your Own Mailchimp in Amazon SES
/ Web Tools & Technologies /
Dieuwe de Boer
===
Time: Wed, 17 May 2023
Room: Room 2
===
Have you ever wanted to implement your own subscription and email templating system using Amazon Web Service's Simple Email Service? Me neither, but here we are. In this talk I'll go through the requirements that Land Information NZ (LINZ) gave us and how we shifted their custom Drupal 7 + Mailchimp mailing solution into Drupal 9 + Amazon SES.
I'll cover how to integrate Amazon SES into Drupal with webforms, build a queue system to handle high-volume mailing lists, the challenges we faced, hard limitations the AWS API has, and being able to contribute back to Drupal's open source community.
[The session is a mix of Drupal Development, Web Tools & Technologies, and Showcases, but the focus will be on developer-y technical things.]

Open Source, Seriously
/ Showcases & Project Management /
Mathias Bolt Lesniak
===
Time: Wed, 17 May 2023
Room: Room 3
===
When done right, open source projects can have a positive impact also on society at large. When choosing an open-source CMS platform, you’re not just choosing a software product, but also a community-driven, collaborative approach to software development that is very different from that of closed-source vendors.
This talk is about the fundamentals of open source, but also about how these fundamentals affect more than our day-to-day work. We’ll look at how open-source projects depend on each other and how open source can contribute to a stronger civil society and democracy-building — and a new way to do development aid.
Open source practice can teach us a lot about how to live in a peaceful, free, and democratic society. And just like the benefits of civil liberties, the benefits of open source freedom can be easy to take for granted — until you lose them.
