🗣 Jamie Tanna - What story does your dependency tree tell you about your org?

If you’re building (internal) tooling, but don’t know if your customers are using it, is it worth it? What about spending time building support for frameworks your teams don’t use?There are a whole host of problems that can be solved by understanding the usage of dependencies, including learning what end-of-life software you’re using, or which maintainers you should really be funding.In this tutorial session, you’ll get a taste for the insights you can get into your repositories using Open Source tooling, dependency-management-data (DMD) and some immediately actionable steps you can take off the back of it.

The workshop will have a ready made data set and all you need is your laptop and browser to follow along or if you want to run DMD on your own repos then have the following installed before the meetup.
Pre-installed:

• (Easiest) Docker
• (Ideally) NodeJS 22.x
• Datasette or sql-studio - or another tool for browsing SQLite databases such as Jetbrains DataGrip
• DMD itself, https://dmd.tanna.dev/cookbooks/getting-started/#installing-the-dmd-cli

8:30pm: To the pub!
