    I want to speak at DUMP-2017


    The program directors wrote addresses to the speakers in which they described topics that are of interest to us.

    Fronttalks


    Over the past year, there have been as many different changes in the frontend as there have not been for many years. For example, Samsung Internet has dramatically taken the lead among browsers. And the Grid specification, which celebrated its fifth anniversary, was suddenly approved and will appear in all browsers in the near future. We will talk about this and many other things related to the front-end in our section.

    We are waiting for reports:

    - about new technologies and how you apply them in production code;
    - about your experiments and their results;
    - about client side tests and how to check layout in all browsers automatically;
    - about node.js;
    - about React, Angular, or maybe even Vue;
    - and in general about everything that can be done using the JavaScript language, as well as using layout and browser.


    Web evangelist at Opera Software (at that time), project manager, Web Standards Vadim Makeev talked about grid last year


    Serverside


    This year, in the Serverside section, we’ll talk about an important and difficult topic: how to strike a balance between “work, don’t touch” and the temptation to put into the project a new magical tool that promises universal happiness. Avoiding technology zoo without losing the speed and quality of development and product. How to live in a zoo, if the unity of technology was unattainable. How to choose the right technology for a specific task and the existing project ecosystem.

    We understand that there will be more people who want to listen to this than people who want to share their experience, but we do not lose hope of hearing cool stories.

    If you have another fiery theme for the ServerSide section, write as well. Immediately do not drive :)


    Last year, a gene spoke for the first time at DAMP. Director of Postgres Professional, member of the PostgreSQL Foundation Oleg Bartunov


    Science


    Technology is developing at a breakneck pace. Now, to stay in place, you need to run twice as fast. Therefore, in 2017, we decided to be proactive - add high technology to the DUMP program and please the geeks. Meet the Science section returning to our conference.

    The scientific section of DUMP-2017 is a quiet backwater for geeks when there is only one bootstrap, docker and microservices around. An outlet for speakers: here you can talk about your favorite topic that you dig in your free time from the routine. Or about a topic about which you have been writing a dissertation for the third year, but cannot wait to share it with someone. Or about your pet machine learning project. And most importantly - in our section there is no upper limit on the degree of tenacity of the topic. We want our brains to boil!

    Do you want to tell about new theoretical results in blockchain mathematics or explain the proof of the correctness of the new distributed consensus algorithm? Run to us! We accept applications for reports from the field of formal sciences . The requirement for speakers is the ability to explain complex things in clear language. We will discuss the topic of the report, the main thing is that your eyes burn.


    Already in the Science-2017 program : MTproto protocol, Dijkstra's algorithm, cryptocurrencies, multidimensional indexes in RDBMS


    Devops


    Debuted in 2016, the DevOps section remains with us in 2017. But we don’t want to arrange an “admin” or “architect” section - this is boring and more than once.

    DevOps is about the approach. About the team. About agreements between different development groups. About "everything is a code." About the fact that “infrastructure as a service” is simple and completely done by hand. About the fact that ChatOps is not only a beautiful little thing, but also the cornerstone of amazing changes.

    In general, DevOps is an organizational technique, devops engineers from a million vacancies do not actually exist, and admins can also be programmers.

    If what I wrote here, it seems to you at least a little adequate and you have something to say about this - send topics and theses of speeches, let's teach everyone to live correctly :)


    Lead developer of 2GIS Denis Yakovlev (Novosibirsk) spoke last year about infrastructure automation in 2GIS


    Mobile


    This year we will try to cover the latest trends in the technologies of the most popular mobile platforms.

    We invited real gurus who will talk about new features in RxJava2, the React Native and Redux device, the features of working with outsourcing, the difficulties of testing client-server applications, and much more.


    Denis Neklyudov, an Android development expert, Google Developer Expert, told at DAMP 2016 how to write tests in Android


    Management


    We are looking for people who have successfully succeeded:

    1. Hire interns (agitate, include in the production process, hire). In a situation of acute shortage of experienced personnel - you have to go to universities and look for personnel "for growth" there. If you have succeeded, we will be happy to hear about your experience.

    2. Manage a distributed development team. The labor market for programmers has been smoothly migrating to the remote places for the last, probably about 5 years, although not as actively as expected. In remote projects, a lot of things do not work like in an office, it is necessary to organize the process more clearly, and to speed up communications, since they do not go away on their own in smoking rooms and at lunch and much more. If you have successful experience managing a distributed development team, come and speak.

    3. Interesting stories about the life cycle of your product: hypothesis testing, pivots, experiments, evolution of ideas and unexpected conclusions. If you are managing an IT project, you probably have a lot of similar stories in your arsenal, the conclusions of which may be useful to the IT community.

    4. And finally, we want to talk about psychology this year. How can a manager avoid psychological burnout? How to remain an authority for developers, while losing the “craft” qualifications? Or maybe you can not lose it? These and other questions are in our "psychological" block of the management section of DAMP.

    We are ready to consider applications for reports and other topics. If you have a unique experience that you want to share, and ideas worthy of spreading burn in your heart - write to us!


    Boris Dyakonov, the leader of Tochka, vice president of Otkritie Bank, spoke last year about the pros and cons of the traditional approach to metrics and kpi


    Design


    This year we want to add horizontal knowledge to the section - to invite people from related industries who will bring additional techniques from their subject industry and expand the designer’s palette. If you work in directing, game design, political technologies, psychology, advertising, pedagogy, architecture, urbanism and want to speak, apply.

    The program already has a gorgeous composition: Yuri Vetrov (Mail.Ru Group, Moscow), Denis Kortunov (Acronis, Moscow), Denis Bashev (freelancer, curator at the HSE School of Design, Moscow), Oleg Chulakov (Oleg Chulakov's studio, Rostov-on -Don), Ksenia Ilinykh and Ekaterina Mokhova (SKB Kontur, Yekaterinburg). Join now!


    Yaroslav Shuvaev, product owner Alfa-Mobile in Alfa-Bank, curator of UX&UI intensiveness at BHSD, told last year how to plan and implement product user experience improvements in a flexible production environment


    Testing


    Let's talk about the simple actions of the tester:

    - institution of bugs,
    - communication with colleagues,
    - compilation of maps,
    - inventing scripts.

    But this time we take a look at these simple actions from the other side:

    - how cool specialists perform them meaningfully and consciously,
    - how specialists from the routine do not routine,
    - how the routine of one tester can turn out to be a new world for another.


    Vasily Nikishin (Tallinn), head of the Parallels automated testing team, spoke at DAMP 2016 how to create a self-testing team in atypical conditions


    If you want to speak, write to us. Any formats are possible: section report (40 min), blitz report (10-20 minutes), master class. Applications are accepted until February 20.

    If you didn’t see a topic in the list, but want to speak with it, write anyway. Perhaps the program committee will decide that the report will be super useful and include in the program.

    I want to become a sponsor


    We are looking for sponsors and partners who value the love and respect of thousands of IT people. Who cares , look at the beautiful file with details . Write, we will tell and show everything.

    We love our sponsors to move forward in a fun and unusual way, so we always have a lot of activities during breaks.

    Last year it was like this:


    It was possible to program for speed



    Or play with cats



    You could gouge the keyboard



    You can shoot birds



    Or play hockey
