Talk Title: EDA’s reimagined - Choreography vs Orchestration
Speaker: Gaurav Thadani
Talk Summary: Getting your Event Design right is like Get Rich or Die Tryin.We’ve spoken about EDA’s; and emphasised on the importance of event design. The lack of discipline on the data published leads to a plethora of inconsistent structures and information out there in an organisation.
Additionally, driving tech processes with business events generally is characterised as a choreography-driven approach. Similar to a dance, it requires every actor in the system to coordinate effectively and skillfully. The cost of maintenance and observation tends to rise over time, potentially hindering the developer experience. Imagine testing a business flow across many components that are listening to events, and then trying to observe the system's behavior as a whole.
Join us as we explore and compare the approaches, including the challenges of choreography. In this talk, we’ll introduce Temporal, an open-source project (MIT license) that delivers durable execution. We'll demonstrate how orchestration can simplify your architecture, accelerate time to market, and boost developer productivity—all without 'boiling the ocean.'

Talk Title: How Many Colours Are There?
Talk Summary: An exploration of digital precision, human perception, and color spaces for screen and lighting.
RGB, HSV, XY color space conversions in Go, the difference between screen color and lighting color, building a color library from internet resources
Esme will run some practical code examples to show the loss of precision in the conversion process
And talk a bit about the mysterious RYB color wheel that she’s been reading about from the art/painting world of color theory, which predates all this.

Bio: Esme is a Staff Software Engineer at Slack going on 7 years. She has been writing Go for a little over 8 years. She has worked on cloud infrastructure, platform tools, and reliability at scale for Slack’s largest codebases. Outside of work she's a classic house and disco DJ with a background in light and sound tech. Her cats are named Erasmus and Princess. She is passionate about simple and clean software that is easy and fun to use.
