Presented by Andrea Gallego, CTO at BCG GAMMA Global

As AI becomes more prevalent in our workplaces, it is imperative that solutions are deployed ethically. Organizations need to be cognizant of how they collect and use data, the products they leverage, and the biases that could applied. Most importantly, we need to make sure those who develop algorithms are as diverse as the societies they serve, and that they have the ability to harness the interests and needs of their users. Andrea Gallego, CTO of BCG GAMMA, will explain how GitHub is used by GAMMA’s software and data engineers, data scientists, and analysts to check that unique perspectives and insights are curated and nurtured, and collaboration is tracked and supported across the organization—making GAMMA’s AI solutions more ethical, inclusive, and comprehensive. This talk will help you answer the question: How can we make sure the intelligence we gain from innovations is created and managed ethically?

Presented by Jack Li, Production Engineer at Shopify

At Shopify, developers merge and deploy over 400 pull requests each day to Shopify master. Two years ago, we built the merge queue as part of Shipit, an open source project, to control the thundering herd of merges and ensure ships happen quickly and safely. In this talk, Shopify will explore the design of the first iteration of the merge queue, what they've learned from that experience, and how they're evolving the merge queue to continuously scale developer productivity.

Presented by Jeff Josephson, Senior Systems Engineer, Expedia Group

In 2018, Expedia Group started a project to consolidate all their source code into a single instance of GitHub Enterprise. The team wanted to drive more collaborative development and improve developer efficiency. In this talk, you'll learn about the background of the project, goals, and objectives for success, the design and architecture of the new instance, migration methods used and how they were automated, and details on the challenges faced and how they were resolved.

Presented by Kelly O'Connor, Principal, Boston Consulting Group, and former Product Manager for the US Digital Service

By shifting the focus away from traditional, plan-driven “project management” (e.g., cost management, schedule management, etc.) towards a more user-driven product management approach (e.g., user research, minimum viable products, etc.), the VA has been working to create the best digital experience for Veterans and business customers. Learn how VA went about this massive cultural shift -- to making human centered design (HCD) a requirement, not a “nice to have.”

There’s no point in delivering something on-time and on-budget--if it’s the wrong thing.

Presented by Emma Dickson, Data Scientist/Data Engineer, IBM

How do you track whether GitHub is supporting and increasing the frequency of good coding behaviors like code review, continuous integration, and social coding for your company? When faced with this problem, IBM dove into their instance of GitHub Enterprise. In doing so, they gained insight into how IBM's internal coding practices within GitHub have developed since 2015 and information about the health of the ecosystem that has sprung up within GitHub. In this talk, you'll hear about their methods of investigation that can be applied to any organization and enterprise-specific datasets to apply business context to the data.

Presented by Tim Carmean, Central Software Process & Tools Supervisor, and Tom Erickson, Global Software Tools & Processes, Ford

Ford began writing software in the 1980s using assembly on a Motorola 8065 microcontroller to implement electronic fuel injection. Today, there are dozens of Electronic Control Units controlling the features and functions of modern automobiles. Writing code that powers vehicles carries unique environmental and regulatory compliance requirements, including functional safety, emissions, and warranty. Ford is transforming the way they think about software, thanks to GitHub.

This talk will discuss the history of software engineering at Ford, some of the unique requirements and challenges faced in their systems—and how GitHub is helping them deliver the products their customers want, with the quality they demand at the speed of the modern software industry.

Rumors of the mainframe's demise have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, mainframe workloads are growing in many Enterprises. Until recently mainframe tooling and development processes have been static - stuck in earlier eras. Non-mainframe developers favor Git and GitHub for their decentralized nature, collaboration, and workflow flexibility. As seasoned mainframe programmers leave the workforce many developers are being hired to enhance, modernize, and manage mainframe applications. This makes the need to provide familiar tools and processes more important than ever.

This session covers how businesses can modernize their mainframe development experience with tooling including Git, GitHub, and Jenkins, making it easier for a new generation of developers to support growing mainframe workloads.
