  1. Talk 1 - Information Architecture in Our Everyday Lives by Alan Dooley
    Information architecture informs all the content we consume. Like good design, we don’t notice it unless it’s gone wrong. This talk is an introduction on what information architecture is, what it means in personal and professional contexts, and how we can use it to manage our information better.

  2. The Subtle Art of Lying with Statistics by Dave McAllister
    "Lies, damned lies and statistics."But statistics allow you to lie to yourself. Statistics can trick us into believing things that are less than true, though not on purpose. Learn how data choice, event focus and scale change perspective. See how graphs mislead and correlation can cause confusion. Join in for a light-hearted view of the world of statistical manipulation

Talk 3 & 4: Could be from you!

In addition to speakers from NGINX, a Call for Papers (CFP) is open to other local enthusiasts. We’d love to support community submissions. Proposals should be topics of interest to open source technologists and not product pitches.

CFP due date: Wednesday, 14 May

If you have any questions about NGINX, whether that’s troubleshooting your config or simply wanting to learn more, we’ll have resources available to help you out.

A few updates!

We are keeping the CFP open until Wednesday, 14 May. Feel free to submit anything open source related that you find interesting.

This event will also be streamed on Teams so anyone can attend virtually. Stay tuned for that link.
