Security – With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
Dave Potter
Dave’s original slides are no longer available. I found these, very similar slides, in November 2018.
In today’s WordPress world we have the power to build great websites in a matter of minutes. With this power comes the responsibility to look after the data that flows through our websites. We often subcontract the management of our data to multiple organisations which in turn hold our data in multiple locations. This means our data is exposed to events that may impact any one of those organisations and/or locations. This talk discusses the steps we can and should take to be responsible custodians of our customer and user data.
Gutenberg – the new block editor – Herb Miller
Printing’s come a long way since it was pioneered in the 15th century. The new block editor still has a long way to go.
