Obtener los beneficios de los sistemas no bloqueantes y la programación reactiva, mediante el modelo de programación funcional, inmutabilidad y la orientación a mensajes en sistemas distribuidos; usandoReactive Commons un proyecto open-source apalancado desde Bancolombia cómo un esfuerzo por integrar la programación reactiva (Reactive Streams y Project Reactor) y un modelado del dominio que toma elementos de DDD y patrones cómo Event Notification, Pub/Sub, Mensajería directa (Comandos), para poder crear soluciones altamente escalables, resilientes y extensibles.

Earlier this year the US government announced that it would provide aid to its citizens in the form of a stimulus check in response to the changes that followed the COVID-19 epidemic. This support left out 12 million undocumented immigrants, the majority of which are tax-paying members of society. Along with receiving no federal aid, the undocumented population is disproportionately affected by the shifts in labor and a comparably high transmission rate. This talk will explore how we mobilized a network of volunteers and organizations to provide aid to 125 undocumented families across 15 states within a two-week period in April.

Esta charla explicaremos los fundamentos de la Computación Cuántica, como la combinación de los principios de la Física de Partículas (física y/o mecánica cuántica) con la Ciencias de la Computación y la Teoría de la Información a dado paso a la creación de esta tecnología que revolucionará el futuro en algunas industrias. Hablaremos de los retos a los que nos enfrentamos para poder producir esta tecnología, y las aplicaciones o problemas específicos en los que impactará la computación cuántica.

GitHub Campus Expert Fernanda Ochoa shares her journey in the program, hosted by Juan Pablo Flores

Drawing off the rich experiences of our panelists, we will discuss common challenges and opportunities our panelists have encountered in building their careers in tech and what they are hopeful for in the future for Latinx technologists.

"Nesta palestra, a ideia é demonstrar como a interação com as comunidades e o open source pode contribuir drasticamente no seu crescimento profissional.
Além do networking, gostaria de falar sobre as experiências únicas de se participar de uma comunidade de software (user group) saudável pode contribuir para sua carreira.
Darei algumas dicas e exemplos de atitudes que podem ajudar profissionais em estágios iniciais e se desenvolver rapidamente e também para profissionais mais experientes a como se engajar mais e se tornar visível e referência em sua área."

The GitHub Stars program thanks GitHub’s most influential developers and gives them a platform to showcase their work, reach more people, and shape the future of GitHub.

Oscar is DACAmentented technology professional. In his words: "I believe that my journey has been unique and interesting enough to share with others and provide insight into the possibilities of a career in Technology as an undocumented, prior to DACA, and DACAmented individual, post DACA.
I've gone through an interesting journey to end up where I am as a Software Engineer. I started as a Mechanical Engineering major in college back in 2013. I had a couple of internships in college with Red Ventures in their IT Department and my Junior year in college changed my major to Mathematics with a Computer Engineering minor.

I also held a part-time job at Red Ventures my Senior year as an Inside Sales Professional. Upon graduating in 2017 from UNC @ Charlotte I got a job in Red Ventures IT Department as a Desktop Support Technician with the goal of taking the Red Ventures Internal Tech Academy a year later to transition into Software Engineering. I completed that transition in the Fall of 2018 and have been loving my job ever since.

I have recently been doing my best to apply the technical skills I've learned as a digital activist for our Latinx community. My focus is to help move the needle forward with all social equity issues but primarily the immigration issue the US is going through. As an undocumented/DACAmented individual this is one of the most important issues for me to fight for."

The internet is for everyone - and your website can be too. Web accessibility refers to the design and creation of websites that can be used by anyone, regardless of situation or disability, and is a key component of a more inclusive web. In this session, you will learn best practices for building accessible products and how they can benefit your users and your company.

La charla busca provocar una conversación sobre la necesidad de espacios de fabricación local para gestionar necesidades hiperlocales dentro del contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19 en Puerto Rico como ejemplo. Durante la pandemia, Tredé fabricó y donó PPE, realizaron proyectos para la bifurcación de ventiladores y diseñaron hisopos fabricados con impresión 3D para la realización de pruebas moleculares. Tambien colaboró con instituciones en Colombia, Panamá y Venezuela. Incluye una mirada al proceso de diseño, validación y colaboración con la comunidad médica y colaboraciones internacionales.
