How should you end your presentation? What should your "last slide" display? This deck shows 19 different ideas to give your presentation the right conclusion. Produced by http://www.strongpages.com/
1) The document introduces Alexei Kapterev, who published a popular presentation on presentation skills 4 years ago and has since become an expert in the field.
2) While most presentations still suffer from issues like poor structure, bad slides, and boring delivery, Kapterev believes everyone can learn to present well by focusing on a few key principles rather than rules.
3) The principles of focus, contrast, and unity are described as more effective than rules, and examples are given of how to apply these principles to structure, slides, and delivery.
We all know that incredible outcomes are only ever the result of brave choices. But being brave means giving yourself room to fail. Fail spectacularly and fail often. And for that failure to not be the kind of thing you lose your job over.
Which means you need to build room for mistakes into your process so you can fail forwards, keep being brave, and make some exceptional stuff as a result.

WTF - Why the Future Is Up to Us - pptx versionTim O'Reilly
This is the talk I gave January 12, 2017 at the G20/OECD Conference on the Digital Future in Berlin. I talk about fitness landscapes as applied to technology and business, the role of unchecked financialization in the state of our politics and economy, and why technology really wants to create jobs, not destroy them. (There is a separate PDF version, but some readers said the notes were too fuzzy to read.)
1) The document discusses lessons learned by Drew Houston, co-founder and CEO of Dropbox, about how they applied lean startup principles and grew Dropbox from 100,000 users to millions without traditional marketing.
2) Early on, Dropbox got feedback directly from users through a screencast and beta launch video which helped them learn. Their public launch focused on making users happy rather than traditional marketing plans.
3) Experiments with paid search, affiliates and other traditional tactics failed, but Dropbox continued growing through word-of-mouth as they encouraged sharing and referrals between users.
4) Dropbox's success showed that best practices don't always work and it's important to understand your market type and how your product fits

Say No Thank You to the PowerPoint Thank You Slide24Slides
This document provides tips for concluding a presentation effectively. It recommends ending with an impactful last slide like a summary, discussion starter, call to action, or story rather than just saying "thank you." The last slide and words should leave the audience wanting more and reinforce the main message. Ending with energy and enthusiasm is also important even if the presenter is tired. The conclusion is the last impression and only chance to impact the audience so it merits careful consideration.
This document provides guidance on how to effectively structure and deliver an oral presentation. It discusses defining the topic and purpose, analyzing the audience, organizing the content into an introduction, main body, and conclusion, and using visual aids. The main body can be organized chronologically, categorically, through a cause-and-effect structure, or with a problem-solution framework. Introductions should capture attention and preview the content, while conclusions should summarize key points and end on a positive note.

Dealing with contributor overload - FOSS BackstageHolden Karau
The first external person contributing to our project is amazing, but when that 1 snowballs to 1,000 life can get a little bit stressful. All of these fine lovely people want to help, but somehow no one seems to want to deal with code reviews, proposed documentation changes, or keeping your testing infrastructure alive, or maybe they just want to pull in different directions.
This talk explores what happens as a community grows and provides recommendations to organize your community. We’ll focus on how to control the fun chaos and how to build a development path that keeps your comitters engaged and your community growing. All of these are based on the speakers’ experiences in their own personal projects (which have much less than 1k contributors) as well as larger projects, like Apache Spark.
Come for the being told it’s not your fault, stay for the techniques to avoid pissing everyone off.
P.S.
If one of the speakers is behind on reviewing one of your pull requests she is sorry and would like to offer you a sticker and hope this talk explains some of why she is late.

stackconf 2024 | Ignite: Is rust good for Kubernetes by Natalie Serebryakova ...NETWAYS
Rust is a powerful and safe systems programming language that has been gaining popularity among developers due to its emphasis on safety, speed, and concurrency. Kubernetes, on the other hand, is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications written in Go.
This talk will cover how easy it is to develop Rust-based Operators in Kubernetes using an example of an operator for Managing the PVC Lifecycle.
This Presentations defines communication skills as the ability to exchange information via the use of language, both receptively and expressively. It examines several forms of communication based on organizational linkages and flow. Semantic concerns, emotional/psychological considerations, corporate policies, and personal attitudes can all operate as communication barriers. Effective communication is two-way, with active listening and feedback, and it is clear, concise, complete, concrete, respectful, and accurate. Good communication skills are essential for career success, dispute resolution, connection building, and increased productivity.
stackconf 2024 | Ignite: Distributed Tracing using OpenTelemetry and Jaeger b...NETWAYS
Several years ago, when you had a monolithic application, it was fairly easy to debug and diagnose since there was probably only one service with a couple of users. Nowadays systems are broken up into smaller microservices deployed in containers on top of Kubernetes in multiple clusters across different cloud environments. In these kinds of distributed environments, there is a need to observe it all, both the overall picture, and, if need be, at a more granular level. Observability can be roughly divided into three sub-categories: logging, metrics, and tracing. In this blog post we’ll show you how simple it is to get set up with tracing in your new or existing MinIO application. We’ll build a small MinIO app that does a few basic requests; this will be our base application to which we’ll add tracing to gain a better picture of how system components and functions interact.
stackconf 2024 | IGNITE: Practical AI with Machine Learning for Observability...NETWAYS
Machine Learning for observability can be challenging, given the uniqueness of each workload. However, we can leverage ML to detect individual component anomalies, even if they are sometimes noisy/imprecise. At Netdata, we use ML models to analyze the behaviour of individual metrics. These models adapt to the specific characteristics of each metric, ensuring anomalies can be detected accurately, even in unique workloads. The power of ML becomes evident when these seemingly noisy anomalies converge across various services, serving as indicators of something exceedingly unusual. ML is an advisor, training numerous independent models for each individually collected metric to achieve anomaly detection based on recent behaviour. When multiple independent metrics exhibit anomalies simultaneously, it is usually a signal that something unusual is occurring. This approach to ML can be instrumental in uncovering malicious attacks and, in many cases, predicting combined failures across seemingly unrelated components.
