  • Raúl Antón Cuadrado: Ce que j’ai appris à la Communauté WP et comment l’appliquer pour enseigner à l’université

    WordCamp Nice 2018Speaker: Raúl Antón Cuadrado

    December 10, 2018 — Ce que j’ai appris en travaillant en remote grâce à WordPress et sa communauté et comment l’a t’on appliqué pour enseigner à l’université
    Ça c’est une histoire d’amour. Il s’agit de comment je suis tombé amoureux du travail en remote et la communauté WordPress tandis que je faisais de la recherche pour trouver des meilleures façons pour véhiculer l’apprentissage à travers l’Internet. J’ai du tout simplement cloner à l’université la structure de communication et apprentissage. Peux-tu imaginer quand tu étais étudiant d’avoir fait partie d’une communauté d’apprentissage enthousiaste qu’on trouve sur des forums, blogs, et slack au lieu de… bon… de ce que nous avons eu ? Le schéma de la communauté WordPress a été appliqué la première fois en Éducation Formel (UNED) en 2015-16 dans un programme de master et doctorat adressé aux professeurs. On a créé une structure de discussion horizontal sur Slack et Forums/logs dans lequel le prof et les étudiants on appris de la même façon que les intégrants de la communauté WordPress le fait. Les résultats ont été depuis cette première fois extraordinaires. 97% des élèves ont assuré qu’ils voulaient répéter le schéma en tant que professeurs parmi des autres résultats également prometteurs.

  • Nemanja Cimbaljevic: How To Ride a Blue Whale (Getting familiar with Docker)

    WordCamp Sofia 2018Speaker: Nemanja Cimbaljevic

    December 10, 2018 — “DevOps, SysOps, Virtualization, containerization, automation”
    This are all terms we see daily, but maybe do not understand them fully.
    Did you know docker container can be up-and-running 100x faster than your VM?
    Or that you can limit docker container to use only as much memory as you want, so you will not run out of it?
    We will talk briefly about differences between Docker and VM, and what you need to get started. Different ways how Docker can improve your development cycle and speed up your deployment process. How to improve your day-to-day operations and save time on provisioning your code.
    Besides general talk and slides, we will see some demos how to run single container of one image, but also how to automate whole process and run multiple containers using docker-compose.

    WordCamp Sofia 2018Speaker: Ivaylo Kolbinger Ivanov

    December 10, 2018 — A different approach deploying your code on the server.

    Simple rollback scenario, granular file permissions, a automated maintenance page during every deployment, stage specific configuration – if you face such challenges during your daily work, the talk will give you a brief introduction how dkdeploy solves such issues and helps you keep focused on that what makes you a developer – coding.
    And guess what, it’s open source!
    So, you need a custom feature in your workflow, then code it. Or probably some automated user acceptance tests – then simply integrate it.

  • Vassilena Valchanova: Building Data-Driven Buyer Personas

    WordCamp Sofia 2018Speaker: Vassilena Valchanova

    December 10, 2018 — We often put a dividing line between quantitative data and the personal relationship with clients. The thinking goes that if we focus on numbers too much we forget the actual people behind them.
    We’ll fight this notion by demonstrating how data can help you understand your users and build better buyer personas. We’ll answer the following questions:
    – What can Google Analytics, Facebook Audience Insights, and Linkedin Website Demographics teach us about our audience?
    – How to build on top of quantitative information with interviews and personal feedback?
    – How to group and segment data into distinct personas?

    WordCamp Sofia 2018Speaker: Nikola Nikolov

    December 10, 2018 — WordCamps can be an excellent place to get to know other WordPress professionals.

  • Pascal Birchler: WordPress Internationalization Workflows

    WordCamp Sofia 2018Speaker: Pascal Birchler

    December 10, 2018 — Over the years, WordPress has steadily improved the way we have to work with internationalization. However, challenges still exist and there will always be new ones ahead. Projects like Gutenberg and ecosystems beyond WordPress.org force us to continuously iterate.

    Soon after the release of WordPress 15 years ago, support for internationalization was added to the software. This meant that themes, plugins, and WordPress itself could be translated. This was a huge deal as WordPress is used all over the world, in countries where English is not the main language. WordPress was quickly translated into German, Japanese and many more languages.

    In this talk you’ll learn how to make use of the latest and greatest technology to make your WordPress plugin or theme fully internationalized. Pascal is going to highlight how you can leverage the powers of WordPress, GlotPress, and WP-CLI to improve the translation workflow in your WordPress projects.
