Presented by Lindsey Bieda, GitHub.

In an age where oversharing information is the norm, users need to be increasingly aware of what they make public to an internet that never forgets. In this talk, we'll take a look at identity on the web and what users and sites can do to help protect personal information. We'll do an in-depth look at the safety and privacy tools on GitHub, user consent-driven feature designs, and best practices for keeping your users safe on your site.

Presented by Jamie Jones, GitHub.

GitHub has a rich API available for developers and consumers alike, but it can be a bit daunting to build a full fledged integration. This talk will center on using Probot to accelerate the process, and best practices related to this. It will also touch on some existing Probot apps teams can use today, as well as some ideas for where your next app could go!

Presented by Jamie Strusz, GitHub.

Invisible diseases (mental health conditions, neurologic disease, rheumatic disease, etc.) are harder to identify, vary widely, and are often misunderstood and stigmatized. As someone with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease, I'm personally familiar with how my working conditions, the attitudes of my colleagues, and my ability to disclose has affected the course of my disease. The theme of this talk is about how an empathetic, positive, and flexible work atmosphere is beneficial for people living with chronic disease, based on my personal account. Being productive and thriving at GitHub despite having Young Onset Parkinson's Disease has largely depended on working with empathetic people, but also the ability to work remotely, flexibility, and ultimately feel supported enough to disclose to those I work with. Companies can foster an atmosphere of trust that allows those dealing with chronic illness to self care, whether they choose to disclose or not.

Presented by Kyle Daigle, GitHub.

GitHub has a vibrant ecosystem of developer tools that our customers use every day. When the API launched 8 years ago, a few small integrations started to build businesses on top of GitHub's Platform. Today, there are thousands of tools that build on-top of GitHub to provide unique features and functionality to GitHub customers. In this session, we'll share best practices from some of GitHub's integration partners, lessons in scaling integrations for open source, business, and enterprise customers, and discuss how to sell your integration in GitHub Marketplace. You'll leave this talk with some tips for building a SAAS business on a thriving Platform like GitHub.

Presented by Ashley Ellis Pierce, GitHub.

Often we know that our code needs refactoring, but we have no idea where to start. Maybe we studied some common code smells and learned about the things that we should be avoiding, but memorizing the rules doesn’t automatically lead to fixing all problems. In this talk, we explore how you can use GitHub to recognize and address violations to each of the SOLID principles. Using diffs, commit history and pull requests you can learn to recognize patterns in code that point to problems. These same tools can help you correct those issues and write more maintainable code.

Presented by Max Brunsfeld, GitHub.

Developer tools that support multiple languages generally have very limited regex-based code-analysis capabilities. Tree-sitter is a new parsing system that aims to change this paradigm. We're in the process of integrating Tree-sitter into both GitHub.com and Atom, which will allow us to analyze code accurately and in real-time, paving the way for better syntax highlighting, code navigation, and refactoring support. We'll demo some new features that Tree-sitter has enabled in GitHub.com and Atom, discuss its implementation, and share thoughts on ways it could be used in the future.

Presented by Tal Niv, GitHub.

Developers build and ship software in a complex environment governed by laws, regulations, norms, and standard practices—policies. Policy decisions directly impact software every day. This talk will walk you through what GitHub defines as policy, why we do policy at GitHub, how we do policy, what we aim to achieve for all of us, and will focus on a couple of current examples.

Presented by Stefan Stölzle and Grace Park, GitHub, GitHub

Workflows come in all shapes and sizes. Teams developing web apps have slightly different needs than those working with embedded software, and you have probably heard more than one recommendation on the "best" workflow. In working with hundreds of customers, we have learned that the best workflow is the simplest workflow. It is easier to teach and easier to follow -- both of which result in more consistent application. In this session, we will break out the markers and learn how you can trim the fluff from your workflows.

Presented by Eileen Uchitelle, GitHub.

If contributing to open source was only about writing code, it would be easy. In reality open source exposes our insecurities and makes us feel vulnerable. Vulnerability can inspire change, but can also paralyze us for fear of not being good enough. In this talk we'll look at how vulnerability affects open source contributors and explore how maintainers can foster a welcoming community. Contributors will learn how to identify projects with empathetic leaders who value GitHub’s community standards. Cultivating a better environment for contributing makes open source more sustainable for all.

Presented by Shelley Vohr and Zeke Sikelianos, with Nathan Henderson, GitHub

In this session we'll take a high-level look at the Electron project. First, we'll kick off with a lightning presentation to illustrate what Electron is and how it works. Then we'll have a fireside chat with two members of GitHub's Electron team, addressing some of the most common questions we hear from the Electron community. The content should be useful to existing Electron developers as well as people just learning about the project.

Presented by Brooks Swinnerton, GitHub.

In this talk, Brooks Swinnerton will discuss why GitHub made the decision to create a public GraphQL API and the things that they’ve learned along the way with respect to authorization, API design, and tooling. The interesting challenges of a public GraphQL API aren’t limited to your codebase; we will also discuss some of the ways that GitHub is working to introduce the new world of GraphQL to its users and integrators, as well as how we plan to support and grow the API for years to come.
