Lightning talks
summary
Rapid-fire lessons and demos cover concrete practices and surprises: teaching novices via Rails Girls leads to better coaching and communication; converting passive users into reporters by encouraging ask questions and collect user stories for bug triage; a security anecdote about neglected domains and email impersonation; OSS maintenance stats (many projects unlicensed or unmaintained, a cited ~28% stale, tens of thousands at risk); a tiny JS/mobile UI prototype and a performance demo claiming 10x faster on benchmarks. Performance and actionable community tactics are shown, not high-level platitudes.
