GDPR is really close with May 25 to start. If you have a company – even outside the EU - and handle any personal data of EU citizens (i.e. website visitors, clients, suppliers,…), there is no way around it: you must comply! But you don't know how? I will explain in simple words, with lots of examples and easy to understand explanations where you have to start and what you have to do. At the end of the session you will know how to comply.
I will also have a special focus on Joomla websites and GDPR.

Build a flexible and unlimited state workflow (instead of "published" and "unpublished" only) in com_content using the new publishing workflow in Joomla! 4.0.
2017 we had a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project to improve the current state workflow (published, unpublished, archived and trashed) in Joomla! 4.0. The goal was to implement a flexible and unlimited workflow manager, where everyone can create the workflow he/she needs. In this talk we'll show with some use cases, how to use the new workflow functionality and what we plan for further releases.

Nowadays most attacks on websites are executed by automated hacker scripts. Of course, you have updated your Joomla site, your extensions are up-to-date to the latest versions, you backup your site regularly and you have a reliable hosting party. What else can you do?
Hack* your own site! Just like the automated hackscripts* do. But do not do everything on your live site. In the worst case you kill your site, slow down the web server and your hosting provider might block your IP address.
In this presentation + demo Peter shows what hackers* try to do on your website. Peter shows how to set up local test environments (using Virtualbox, Vagrant and Ansible to automatically deploy a LAMP stack) and release automated hackscripts* on it.
(* Actually "hacking" is not the right term. It should be called "cracking" instead. Hackers discover unintended possibilities in tools or applications. Crackers try to circumvent computer security)

Building a ecommerce website with open source solutions is very complex in France with the new financial french law.
Your country may be the next one having the same kind of law. Why ?
The goal of french financial law is to fight against VAT Fraud.
In all countries, VAT is the most important revenue of a government.
France is not the only country where fraud VAT is important.
So what is the french law ?
What are the technical requirements ?
What is the exact impact in case of open source projects?

How to use Joomla! framework to develop web-based advanced management software.
It is thought that with Joomla! it is possible to develop only websites. In reality, high-level management software can also be implemented, allowing the developer to concentrate on the main functions as Joomla! already contains basic elements such as ACL management.
The power of managing menus and modules in the Joomla! based management software.

Joomla is the probably the largest completely volunteer organisation in the world and yet we do it all wrong. We celebrate a volunteer's efforts based on the hours they give or the number of commits, forum answers or documentation edits they make. There is a better way, a more productive way and a more successful way. Let's take a lesson from a 12th century Spanish/Egyptian philosopher and change how we volunteer to Joomla!

How I became convinced that content needs to be nothing but an API.
Headless CMS, API-first, Content Infrastructure - there are many words to describe a growing trend in the industry of seeing content as just another service. In such an architecture the storage, management and delivery of content all happen in different applications, connected by APIs. Content Management becomes a service, not a platform to build upon.
This marks a complete a shift from the way a traditional, web-focused, CMS like Joomla!, Drupal or WordPress works. In this talk, Rouven, a Contentful Developer Evangelist and former Joomla! core contributor, will explore what such an architecture looks like, why it’s so compelling for developers and how he thinks it’ll change the Content Management landscape.

As a Joomla user, you have no security insight, not for the bots that scan your application, nor for tageted attacks. What if you could get a Slack / Glip message the moment you are attacked - and block him immediately?
During this talk, we show how to setup Joomla with a Security Plugin that monitors your installation against attackers. Next to that, you can filter out the tools and only be alerted on severe attacks. With the open source tools that are presented, you are then able to block the attacker from your infrastructure, for example using CloudFlare.
This will be a demo-based talk.

Have you noticed that these days every brand has a story and every designer is a "storyteller"?
Storytelling is the buzzword of our days. From marketing experts to motivational speakers, everyone tries to entertain and engage people with a story they want to share, retell, or participate in.
What it may look as a new trend, actually is as old as the humankind: storytelling is the primary way we absorb, manage, store, access and communicate information, as well as connect with others.
In a world overloaded of messages and products, the interest in this discipline has grown fast and stories are seen as a way to engage in some sort of decision-making or action in order to create a resolution.
However, building a powerful and memorable story on the web is not easy: it is no about how a medium can help you to communicate your stories but it is about how you can incorporate storytelling in your medium in order to communicate your messages more effectively.
In this talk, following the three-act structure that Aristotle came up with over two thousand years ago (beginning, middle and end), I will introduce some important elements that all stories have – characters, plot, action, emotion – and how we can connect them to leverage all aspects of web design into one beautiful visual story that compels your users to continue scrolling down their pages!

We carry out occasional development work on the Joomla sites for a variety of clients. To simplify the development workflow over the past year we made extensive usage of the Akeeba Unite CLI - embedded within a dedicated Joomla instance - to enable the rapid creation and re-deployment of off-site dev sites. We would like to present this tool and talk about the process of creating it, etc. This tool:
- allows us to develop entirely offsite- saves us a great deal of time in site creation, etc.- allows us to temporarily 'freeze' the live site during development- allows multiple developers to maintain an overview of who is working on what- allows us to select/deploy Akeeba backups from Amazon S3

Joomla Component Builder (JCB) is but one of the solutions to helping you build your component. Until now JCB has kept out much of the spotlight, but it is definitively an alternative to consider. JCB has been around for quite some time it is opensource and as such its "free", it recently stepped up its documentation effort.
There is a learning curve to using JCB as the tool was initially setup with a developer mind. Having said that, that is what kind of attracted me to it as one of the features allows for modification of any of the generated source-code which then is "imported" back into the builder so when you "regenerate" you will not loose them.
Theoretically that could mean that when going to joomla 4 ( when support is ready ) you can compile/regenerate and have a joomla 4 component.
JCB supports many standard joomla concept so you get ACL, multilingual, version-history, categories, repeatable sub-form fields out of the box, as well as support for bs3, ui-kit, bs4 .
In this session want to share with you experiences based on the use-case of everycharacter.com a website i was volunteered/drafted to by my son Alex. Since the area to be covered is so complex i will not be able to cover all, but it should give a good impression if it would to the job for you.

Joomla! is many things to many people. How do you go about finding, creating, and focusing marketing it towards a particular target? And how to tackle necessary technical changes to match this direction? Are these even the right questions to be asking? The Joomla! project’s decentralised nature can make decisions about project direction lengthy and arduous. And it may appear that other open source CMSs have an easier time with these issues, but I say play to your strengths, Joomla! In this talk, we’ll explore some practical approaches from other projects to addressing the intersection of open source community and delivering business value with a platform that offers a broad range of functionality, supported by a large community of diverse contributors.

For one client we have implemented 10+ large sites which share a common corporate identity, involving many aspects of the layout and visual design. To simplify development, over the last 18 months we progressively centralised many of the aspects of these J! installations, including CSS, JS, many PHP layout files, almost the entire template, shortcodes (ReReplacer), language strings, serving of PDF files, Google CSE, ... Along the way we have made plenty of mistakes, learned a great deal and ultimately achieved our goals.

As a web developer working with Joomla! I like to spend my time creating effective and easy-to-manage solutions for our clients. The less time I have to spend on unnecessary support, like editing content, the better. For this, I have found that letting our clients manage all their content using only Joomla! articles works really well. At the same time, I need to keep design and functionality out of the articles for this to work. This could limit what we can achieve, but it doesn’t have to. In this session I will demonstrate how you can set up a website with relationships, complex layouts and a slim structural footprint using Joomla! core, PixBuilder and Advanced Module Manager.

With the level of unemployment in the world, many people especially youths always are of the notion that the Government must provide them with jobs, but the reality is that government cannot provide jobs for all. This is why the youths and young entrepreneurs need to get themselves empowered with Joomla skills to help them become self reliant. Joomla Skills indeed will be a game changer for many youths around the world as it will open the door of opportunity especially in the online environment.
Even as Joomla knowledge and skills help you become self employed, it is important to ensure that our immediate communities and societies benefit from the skills. Since one of the value of Joomla revolves round knowledge sharing and community based projects, hence, Joomla knowledge can serve as a platform to promote peace and unity among diverse society. This session would talk about how Joomla can significantly help people become their own boss , therefore reducing reliance on government Jobs. Also how the Joomla knowledge can be shared with others by sharing the Joomla Love in our communities as a way of giving back to the society.

Since the dawn of the web industry the debate has raged. Hourly vs Value-based.
Hourly billing only allows you to get paid for the time it takes to do something. Plus, there is no incentive to create something great, or quick. And because you’re selling time you have a limited supply. So you lose!
Value-based billing has as many definitions as it does flaws. How are you going to convince a client to share the value of success? And what if you don’t reach those goals, do you give money back?
What are pros and cons of both models? Which model is for an digital agency and which is better

Sound familiar? The open source community has the habit only to look inside ourselves and never look what else might be going on in the other communities or projects. As someone who currently serves on leadership for Joomla and also the evangelist of BoldGrid has seen the best of multiple open source communities. I have seen patterns emerge across our communities.
This talk will explore my experience being married to open source. I will also explore the ways the communities support each other through initiatives such as CMS Garden (An initiative to promote all major open source CMS projects). I will also share the top things I learned about myself and the combined future of an open source web.

Joomla 3.7 introduces a very welcome new feature, Custom Fields for the core content types. Out of the box you can add custom fields to Content, Contacts, Users and 3rd party addons can add support too.
For many sites, simple Joomla content items don’t offer enough flexibility to meet the website owner’s requirements.
An estate agency/realtor’s site will need energy or survey reports, floorplans, pricing, broadband availability, address information, school catchment etc.
A cookery website will need recipes with lists of ingredients, preparation instructions, nutritional information etc.
Clubs and societies need additional information about their users - membership numbers, qualifications etc.
Etc.
There are many addons to Joomla, sometimes known as CCKs or Directories, that allow you to create structured content for your website. It is also possible to create have user profile plugins to extend user data. But most of these are often complex to manage, unintuitive and become expensive to maintain and users often yearn for the simplicity of Joomla content items. With the release of Joomla 3.7 many site developers will be able to use Joomla Custom Fields to meet their requirements without the need to use complex CCKs and user profile plugins.
In this talk we will show you how Joomla 3.7 custom fields work - creating fields in Joomla content, contacts and user profiles. We will show you how you can setup different fields for different content types and customise the output using template overrides.
We will then introduce a new tool to make managing Joomla custom fields easier and more powerful.
Making it easier to create customise content creation and output that varies by content types (e.g. recipes vs chefs)
Allowing the output of fields to be conditional on the value of others
Allowing you to customise list views (such as the featured articles) differently to individual articles
Allowing you to filter menu item output by custom field values
All of this whilst continuing the use the core Joomla custom fields.

Your CMS just notified you that there's an update for an extension you are using due to security reasons. You install it happily and go about your way, resting assured that your site is now better protected against hackers. What if I told you that your site just got hacked instead?
In this session we'll talk about core and extensions update security, public key cryptography and how we could make Joomla! a forerunner in update security - without even breaking a sweat or backwards compatibility.
Disclaimer: I am not in the Joomla leadership and I have no say on future features of Joomla. This presentation will hopefully get a serious discussion started around update security which could lead into its implementation in future versions of the CMS. If you're in the PLT you are more than welcome to join us and offer your input!

The creation of new Joomla extensions can be a time-consuming process for extension developers. This includes both scenarios, the development of new independent extensions (e.g. components) as well as new dependant extensions using existing ones (e.g modules). In our presentation, We will illustrate a model-driven process for both development scenarios using a low-code platform named JooMDD. JooMDD can be used within common IDEs and as platform-independent web application. The latter will be demonstrated within the talk, by means of the development scenario of augmenting an existing component by a new module.

We will go into some basic concepts to help you write cleaner code.
We will get our hands dirty (but code clean) by going for the low hanging fruit.
The concepts this talk covers have helped me to write more readable and maintainable code. But more importantly, it has made coding more fun!
Don't worry, we will not go into deep stuff like having to fully refactor projects or the use of DI, interfaces, traits, type hinting, etc.
But it is useful if you grasp the basics of how to work with functions, classes and methods.

You created the holy grail of extensions and yet for some reason it errors from time to time. “Traditionally” you would go and modify you code in strategic locations to insert the ominous var_dump($x);die(); sequence that would help you see whats going on. However this is error prone and so 1980’s.
Enter into the world of XDebug. With development environment it is infinitesimally to trace the flow of you program and inspect variables and do other nice things. We will explore debugging a web and cli application.
Additionally XDebug is the best alternative to documentation in inspection how things work.
Setting up and using XDebug can be a bit tricky with routers, firewalls etc, when working with more than one person on a project or simply when you are on the road. I will show how to use a proxy on your server and provide the swiss army knife for the tunneling solutions.

Love it or hate is, the Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED) is the single, must go to, area for integrators and web builders looking to extend the capabilities of their websites. For developers the scoring and review section can become an area of frustration and angst. This session will attempt to put it all into some perspective and in particular guide the developer through the best practice for building a strong reputation on the JED, often in the face of seemingly impossible users. Where reputations can be gained or lost within a few keystrokes, this should be an informative session for those relying on the JED.

We’re all—I hope!—well aware that performance is important; it’s great for business and it’s great for our users. But things are still not fast enough. With more and more emerging markets coming online, and more and more apps moving to the web platform, we’re reaching an intersection where connections are getting slower and websites are getting heavier. In this talk, we’ll learn just what these emerging markets mean to us, and how we can begin to move in the right direction.

Bootstrap 4 is just better than Bootstrap 3 (or Joomla native Bootstrap 2 ) it uses recent methods and even though it is still alpha we use it over 2 years successfully on our own website.
The use of Bootstrap 4 is simple, but to make it work in Joomla! is not "instinctive". As Bootstrap 4 is Alpha the workflow has to be adjusted, that one can easily switch to the latest code basis and not loose all the former work.
There will be an introduction in Bootstrap 4 as well as an introduction to SASS, as Bootstrap 4 relies not anymore on LESS but on SASS. I will show practical examples and ways how to set up production process.
The Session is for developers and designers .... still a technical background is required.

I would like to present on the topic of Growth-Driven Design and how it can help both marketers and agencies alike change the way they do business and deliver websites. The traditional web design process is broken. Your website is the centerpiece of all your marketing activities and is your “best salesperson,” yet the way we traditionally approach website design has a great deal of systemic risk and wasted opportunity.
There's a smarter way to think about web design and that's by implementing Growth-Driven Design.
Growth-Driven Design focuses on three main principles:
1) Minimise the risk of website redesigns
2) Continuously learn and improve
3) GDD Learning informs marketing and sales
I believe my presentation would be beneficial to marketers and agencies, helping them not only with their website redesigns but also helping agencies move from a project based business model where cash flow can be a problem to a retainer based business model allowing their cash flow to be much more predictable, this also allows them to grow their business.

Yes, you know, you should have written that test! But what If you already do writing tests, but you don't see the result of your actions. Tests run slow, they are fragile, hard to read and maintain. Fixing a test is harder than disabling it.
Don't blame yourself. It's not about you, it's about some points you should have taken into account while your testing codebase grew. In this talk I will tell you about
* What are best practices for tests (with code samples)
* Do we need acceptance tests and what framework to choose: Behat, Codeception, Selenium, PhantomJS
* How data should be managed? (Dumps, Fixtures, FactoryMuffin)
* How to test APIs (Codeception, php-vcr)
* Creating test environments with Docker containers
* Setting up parallel testing with Docker

The EU Place of Supply reform – better known as VATMOSS – was an e-commerce regulation intended to combat the tax games played by multinational corporations worth billions. In practice, the law has had a devastating effect on everyone but multinationals. For small digital businesses just trying to get through the month, compliance requirements are so overwhelming and disproportionate that many have shut down altogether. Members of the web profession have been hit particularly hard both as service providers and as technical implementers.
In this talk, we’ll review what the law means for your businesses and e-commerce operations. We’ll discuss how real-world compliance requirements are never quite as simple as governments think they are on paper, and how everyone involved in this reform got it so incredibly wrong. Finally, we’ll discuss what the VATMOSS experience suggests about the web profession’s future – and how we can turn it around.

Back in 2005 I managed a Mambo website, when Joomla was born. Since then I've been using the CMS and participating in the community at different levels. After more than 10 years, I've been able to experience how it feels to use Joomla on a daily basis from different perspectives, from a total newbie to a site integrator with a few years of experience. I've also been able to live in first person how different it is to be a "regular" community member from being a volunteer that holds a position in a specific area of the project, or even in a leadership position. In this sessions I'll try to share the most important things I've learnt and felt over these years, so others can learn from this experience and, hopefully, avoid the mistakes I made...

In times long ago, every worthwhile PC game had a demo version - a limited piece of the content so that people could check out the content, gameplay and so on. Programs like office suites and so on followed suit. The gaming industry has a long tradition of free demos and free trials, and it is no less important and fair to provide them in our field - with free trials of extensions, support services and hosting services.
CloudAccess.net has been providing a Free Trial program for 6 years now - first as the host of the official Joomla! Demo at http://demo.joomla.org and now with its own Free Site program. I have been with the company through all these years and would like to share my experiences with it - why I believe that a free trial is important, what are the advantages of it and what are the pitfalls of it and, as usual, share the "support guy side" view of it all.
