In Israel, only 4% of the CEO positions are held by women and only 16% of directors are women. In academia, females constitute 36% of the graduate science students but they only amount to 10% of the faculty. In the high-tech industry, women only account for 35% of the workforce. Despite Israel’s reputation as a “start-up nation”, only 9% of start-up entrepreneurs are female. We stand baffled in li...

It's been a long time dream to make the machine a more human like, giving it an Artificial Intelligence. Teach it how to drive a car.  Teach it how to identify objects in a given image for example give the computer an image captured in the front of a car and ask him if he can see pedestrians? Give the computer a web page and ask him what the page is talking about?  Give the computer a set of metri...

The talk will view some real world mistakes, and open talk. הקושי בלתכנן ממשק יעיל, נקי וברור למשתמש הממוצע. איך אנחנו בודקים את הממשק. איך מצליחים עדיין לתת את אפקט הווא...

Codeine is a tool that enables continuous deployment. It gives dev-ops teams a consolidate view of the status of deployment online, monitor the environment and allow deploying new versions continuously. Codeine is an internal tool developed at Intel that is now an open source project in github:  https://github.com/Intel-IT/codeine . In this talk I am going to present its main capabilities, and dem...

Open Knesset started as a script that downloaded votes information from the knesset website. It later turned into a more complicated website that helps people monitor and understand what is going on in the Knesset. As a part of the process we founded The Public Knowledge Workshop - an NGO that helps open source projects aimed at advancing public knowledge and increasing public participation in the...

A few months ago, it was revealed the Ministry of Health paid 120K NIS to build a mobile app for helping parents locate Polio vaccination centers. Also, the app sucked. A group of Open Source developers who never met before spontaneously organized to build a free, open source alternative and released it within a couple of days. This talk will explain  how it happened , what we've learned about dat...

Glimpse insight into the making of a revolutionary real fresh open source operating system! Single slide examples for hiring open source rockstars, licensing, collaborating using github, irc, google hangout and more. Examples for OSv innovation will be given along the way. Eventually the secret receipt for successful open source project will be reviled (spoiler: 'grandmom operation' cult of start...

re:dash is Everything.me's take on freeing the data within our company in a way that will better fit our culture and usage patterns. Prior to re:dash, we tried to use traditional BI suites and discovered a set of bloated, technically challenged and slow tools/flows. What we were looking for was a more hacker'ish way to look at data, so we built one. re:dash was built to allow fast and easy access...

here are many, many misconceptions about Open Source. Virtually any developer worth his title has used open source at one point or another of his career, but few have actually participated in it, or contributed to it. I, of course, am no exception to this rule. In the first decade or so of my career I worked WITH open source to some extent, but only in the last two years have I started working ON...

The functional programming paradigm is working its way to become a first class tool for software developers, therefore it is an excellent match that Javascript, which is the programming language with the largest reach, supports this paradigm. In this talk I will present several ideas that are at the core of the functional programming paradigm and show how to use them in Javascript. As a result of...

Life as a software engineer is so exciting! Computing power continue to rise exponentially, software demands continue to rise exponentially as well, so far so good. The bad news are that in the last decade the computing power of single threaded application remains almost flat. If you decide to continue ignoring concurrency and multi-threading the gap between the problems you are able to solve and...

At Takipi we’ve decided that our main marketing strategy will rely on what we do best - coding. Rather than using advertising, SEO or presenting at conferences, we generate most of our traffic by content produced by our dev team. This includes different scripts we write and publish (such as what are the top libraries used on GitHub, the speed AWS Olympics) and building scripts to analyze and rever...

In theory, I was supposed to love programming: I'm a computer geek by birth, an Autodidact by nature, and had the privilege to have learnt CS at the Technion from the finest teachers. So... why had I been hating to program for 30 years? And what can you learn from my experience to help your (and everybody's) kids be interested and even fall in love with programming? MP3

What is the peak of my career? Five years ago I prduced a query which changed the world as we know it. Never again will you look at SQL the same way you were taught at school. Join me to discover the true meaning of life of queries. MP3

January 2013, wicked rain, the entire office is flooded. Nobody came into the office, and we successfully deployed a huge version that day . That's how you roll when your team has the tools and know-how of working remotely. Want to know how we did it? I will tell you in 5 minutes. Expect to get out of this talk with links to tool you'd want to try. MP3

The war between developers and product goes way back. Sometimes it’s a ‘behind the scenes’ war (“these developers estimations are always tripled”, “these product people and their dreams...”), sometimes it’s face to face (you can imagine what I am talking about here). As a product owner and product manager, in the past few years I was asked many times how do I keep a good and productive relationshi...

A quick talk about Docker, a totally awesome open source project which seems to generate a lot of buzz since its release in March 2013. Docker is a tool for packaging lightweight VMs called containers, which can be thought about as an "application in a box" that you can deploy wherever you want. In our talk we will see how Docker fits perfectly into a modern distributed, cloud-based, micro-service...

Once a year thousands of developers all over the world get to together for one weekend of writing code for humanity. They solve real problems in agriculture, disaster resiliency, health and education. In this short talk I will share my experience from RHOK events held in Israel in the past few years. I will Talk about the open-source project that my team in RHOK wrote (android application  https:/...

Taking the role of a software architect for the last 10 years starting at a small startup moving to Amdocs OSS devision and then to Wix as chief architect, I have gained some understanding of what it makes to do architecture. I can say today that software architecture is not about UML Those huge system box diagrams Writing documents I count 4 different types of software architecture - each of the...

Being a professional developer requires staying up-to-date all the time. Time is a very precious resource for us. We need to learn new programming-languages, technologies, keep the knowledge we already have, while being expected to work fast and produce high-quality results. We frequently find ourselves with the feeling we work slower than we could. Whether its over-googling for things we did doze...

A look back on the original claims and insights from the hummus manifesto and what has changed (or not) since then. Plus, a manifesto for the next 5 years. Tehina  MP3

When it comes to startups - life and death are in the hands of the right KPI. How do you measure engagement when your main goal is to get the user to do as little as possible?  How do you benchmark retention when you ARE the phone? Mobile apps KPIs used to be pretty straight forward but as the market and technology evolved we have to get more creative and precise about our goals.  In my talk I wil...

The day has finally arrived, cloud scale apps and big data challenges drove us, the modern developers, into a new arena of thinking, the arena of concurrent programming and horizontal scale. The technology is already here: Scala Actor model offers message-based concurrency and provides us with new programming primitives. But that’s not enough… the real challenge is in our minds and we need to rede...

Evolutionary algorithms open windows to the place where machines and biology meet. In this talk weI'll explore how evolutionary algorithms mimic and borrow from the way Mother Nature solves problems - all the way from solving puzzles, to social sciences to designing new kind of satellite antennas. We'll explore how we can model algorithms after the behaviors of different species in nature such as...
