Crafting an Effective Security Organisation - KiwiCon and WrongIslandCon. By Rich Smith on December 19, 2014. I'm writing this post while sunning myself on the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand, sitting on my balcony overlooking the harbour. A hard life I know, but given the positive reaction to the talk I gave at KiwiCon 8. I wanted to share the slides online before waiting until I was back in NYC. Overall the combination of WrongIslandCon's. Anyway, on with a few thoughts on both these great cons.

New Blog

By Rich Smith on August 31, 2014. This is a new home where I will be sharing bits and peices such as conference presentations and explanations about any code released as open source. I am legendarily bad at keeping such things up to date so fingers crossed I will actually get into good habbits! Time will tell .

Continuously Deploying Culture at Etsy - Agile Iceland. By Rich Smith on November 08, 2014. I've just come back from a flying visit back to Iceland where I had been invited to give a talk at Agile Ísland. In an effort to actually keep this blog somewhat up to date below are links to the slides and such like. This was a great 1 day conference full of friendly enthusiastic people which concluded with an Open Space. Was a good small conference and well recommended to others in future.
