A recap of this weekend's OggCamp 2024 conference.
This is the 22nd talk I've published in the annotated format - here's my full collection https://simonwillison.net/tags/annotated-talks/ I wrote about the tools I use to put these together here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Aug/6/annotated-presentations/
I'm on Cup o' Go! (2 mins read).
Announcing my appearance on Cup o' Go, talking about oapi-codegen
, OpenAPI, working on Open Source and blogging.
Very excited to be a guest on tomorrow's @cupogo and to chat about oapi-codegen
, #OpenAPI and Go!
If you're in #Nottingham and fancy getting up super early on Wednesday, I'm talking at Notts TechFast about dependency-management-data and how you can better understand how much your organisation relies on Open Source and internal dependencies - would be great to see you there!
And for those who are daunted by getting into town at that time (I know I am 😹) there's also a livestream!
I'm on Changelog and Friends! (2 mins read).
Announcing my first podcast appearance on Changelog and Friends, talking about salary history, the IndieWeb, ADHD and dependency-management-data, among other things.
Quantifying your reliance on #OSS by @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me They started to create a dependency tree to determine whether they should take part in #hacktoberfest. But it's not always ☀️🌈 as in some cases all depends on a very fragile library ([xkcd comic#2347](https://xkcd.com/2347/)) Understanding how your business depends on software is important from a few points: - how am I affected by migrating away from #OpenSource - usage of unwanted libraries - understand usage of libraries and their versions - discover unmaintained, deprecated or vulnerable software But all that applies to #InnerSource too!! - how maintained are the dependencies? - how are the security practices followed in the supply chain? How can we do it? It can be done using #OpenSource with dependency-management-data https://dmd.tanna.dev/ with a CLI and web interface. It uses a #sqlite db, and provides a graphQL api too. And without vendor locking! Dependabot API helped him to get some insights to know where contribute that were helpful to the company he was working. But it was not enough information. endoflife.date helped him to find what's soon to expire and other similar websites for other info. `dmd` helps in an easier way and it uses #renovate and other tools and services to get all the data for the model. Then you can query the db with what you are interested. It comes with some pre-baked queries. For #InnerSource you could define advisories and policies for when you don't have open APIs to query for that information. For example, flag when some software is using an old git server instance or set a set of code owners, or how many customer facing is using an outdated dependency. Their [website has some case studies with more examples](https://dmd.tanna.dev/case-studies/). #SOOCON24

A writeup of my talk about the dependency-management-data project at the State of Open Con 2024 conference.
Thanks for the warm welcome at #TechMids2023 and for hearing about dependency-management-data!
Super happy to talk about it some more - today or afterwards - and hearing how you get on 🚀

Why crafting a good presentation title is annoyingly important, and annoyingly hard I hate choosing titles for my talks. Titles have to be…
Why should you blog? (12 mins read).
A writeup of my talk at DDD East Midlands around why you should start blogging.
This talk should also be a blog post (3 mins read).
How you can improve your public speaking by also writing blog posts for your talks.
Bit gutted to have received my official rejection from speaking at GitHub Universe, after being on the "alternate" (backup) list of speakers, but still chuffed to have made it that far! 1600+ talks proposed this year apparently 🙀
Had a great time doing an Ignite talk at #DevOpsDays London today about dependency-management-data - come say hey, there's so much more to it than I could squeeze into 5 minutes!
I've got a good getting started guide and a long-form post if you want a bit more depth
There are many good reasons to not go to every talk possible when attending conferences. However increasingly it became hip to boast about avoiding going to talks – encouraging others to follow suit. As a speaker, that rubs me the wrong way and I’ll try to explain why.
Very excited to be speaking at #TechMids2023 on October 20th about Quantifying your reliance on Open Source software, where we'll look at how you can get a better view of your organisation's Open Source and internal dependency usage using dependency-management-data 🎉
What's your personal minimal acceptable lead time for a conference talk? If you submit a talk proposal, and it's accepted, then you'd expect to be notified of that acceptance some time prior to your talk, so you can prepare and rehearse well and sort work and travel around the conference. What's that minimum time for you? (Boosts would be nice, thanks!) [ ] 2 weeks [ ] 4 weeks [ ] 6 weeks [ ] 8 weeks or longer

Quantifying your reliance on Open Source software (24 mins read).
A writeup of my talk at DevOpsNotts, about the dependency-management-data project and how to use it to understand your internal and external dependencies.
Attached: 1 image Great #IndieWeb talk today from @salt@social.coop. Topics I keep thinking about for myself (but really need to find the time to take action on). #FOSSY #OpenSource
This evening I've been putting the finishing touches on a preview of my talk Quantifying your reliance on Open Source software coming to DevOpsNotts at the end of July for my colleagues at #Deliveroo tomorrow, and still appreciating the tip I got at the DDD East Midlands speaker workshop to write the content before the slides, as it's made it a breeze to construct slides based on a long form blog post!
Very excited to be talking at DevOpsNotts at the end of July about a project very close to my heart recently - dependency-management-data - in a new talk, Quantifying your reliance on Open Source software, where we'll look at how you can get a better view of your organisation's Open Source and internal dependency usage.
Me too 👀 made good use of a train to London to get some abstracts together, let's see how they're received.
Whatever happens, there'll still be a blog post to TL;DW what would've been the talk
I've just submitted a couple talk proposals to @dddem@mastodon.me.uk 🎉 Y'all should totally submit too! It's an awesome conference run my truly wonderful humans! 💙 https://sessionize.com/ddd-east-midlands-conference-2023/
So.. do I submit talks? 👀

Every so often, I come across some conference talk which is highly interesting in terms of its actual contents, but which unfortunately is presented in a less than ideal way. I’m thinking of basic mistakes here, such as the presenter primarily looking at their slides rather than at the audience. I’m always feeling a bit sorry when this happens, as I firmly believe that everyone can do good and even great talks, just by being aware of — and thus avoiding — a few common mistakes, and sticking to some simple principles.
It's conference season again, so you may be preparing a talk with code snippets. Please remember -- MAKE THE FONT SIZE UNCOMFORTABLY LARGE FOR YOU Your audience will appreciate being able to read it. 👀 And... High contrast between background & text colors ◼️◻️🟨Ben Greenberg (@RabbiGreenberg)Tue, 29 Mar 2022 06:32 +0000

Having done a couple of online talks, this sounds like a great tip - it's unnerving talking to yourself/your slides with no audience feedback at all.

Great tip for presenting remotely that I learned from a couple of our #DesignOps Summit speakers: FaceTime with a trusted friend or mentor while presenting. (Muted, of course.) Presenting to one person is more conversational and natural—especially a person you know and trust.Louis Rosenfeld (@louisrosenfeld)Mon, 09 Nov 2020 15:52 GMT

FYI, I help run a meetup and have spoken (virtually) at meetups around the world. IME 90% of meetup organizers are thrilled to have someone reach out. They're volunteers, so it can take some time to connect, but they want your talk! I wrote more here: letterstoanewdeveloper.com/2021/12/06/spe…Post details
If you really want to learn a new technology, sign up to give a presentation about it at a meetup.

The Call for Proposals (CFP) for codebar Festival is still open. If you've ever thought about speaking at an event this is the most welcoming audience. If you have an idea for a session and want to run it by someone, or have someone help you develop your idea. Drop me a DM!Kimberley Cook (@KimberleyCook91)Mon, 03 Jan 2022 11:04 GMT
It's 2021, why are you still telling us it's hard to find Black speakers? We're right here. It's 2021 and I am still seeing panels and conferences with nothing but white men at the helm.

Feeling the urge for a #PayToSpeak rant. But I'm going to resist. Instead I'll plea. Folks please only support events where you know the speakers are being looked after and compensated for their time. Ticketed online conferences should be paying their speakers.Richard Bradshaw (@FriendlyTester)Thu, 13 May 2021 12:11 +0000
