Our Speakers

Omotola Omotayo & Carla Gaggini

Omotola's talk: Community as a growth catalyst for developers.

Omotola will highlight the importance of developer communities and the benefits of building with the community in this session.

The community collaborative approach helps developers work smarter than if they did it alone.

For developers, community helps foster collaboration and learning, which in turn helps solve problems faster while learning from others.

Using different case studies, Omotola will give insights on how Outreachy mentors and other developers have through community participation have scaled their career growth.

Carla's talk title: "What Are Inclusive Communities and How to Maintain Them?"

We are all here thanks to DevRel and Tech. Some of you might aspire to build communities that are diverse, open, inclusive and safe. And even if you are not planning to build a new community, you probably wish to belong to one with these characteristics. But while Tech brought us all together, it doesn’t mean that we can feel safe to openly share and learn. That’s when reflecting on values collaboratively becomes crucial. It goes beyond abiding by a CoC or building a diverse line-up: it makes us part of the process and it makes us accountable for the values themselves.

In this talk Carla will share a real life example on how she mapped out the personal values of several teams, to create a shared value system for her internal community to follow and belong to. A system that was also expressed externally through the voice the WTF is Cloud Native Community.
