How safety can take us from diversity to inclusionGitte KlitgaardOur industry has been discussing diversity for many years and yet made little progress. <br> We still have very homogenous teams and companies - perhaps because we forget that diversity is not enough; we need inclusion as well. Without inclusion, people do not feel they belong and we do not harvest the benefits of diversity in the companies. <br> Psychological safety has proven to be a significant factor in high performing teams and it has the benefit of also taking us from diversity to inclusion, when it works. <br> In this talk I will explaing what psychological safety is and why it is so essential for good workplaces - now and in the future. |

How to use assistive technology to help deaf elderly people in the healthcare contextMarcelo FerreiraAssistive technologies(AT) improve people?s productivity, including the telemedicine approach, these technologies aim to promote the participation and engagement of people with some level of disability making them more independent and with a better quality of life. Up to the present moment in the healthcare context, the elements of change and improvement in technology are part of the day-to-day life of hospitals and doctors? offices. Such advances, however, have not been able to bring more urgent impacts on the overall capacity of health systems to provide quality care. In this work we plan study innovative ways to use ATs to aid hearing impaired elderly people accessing healthcare services. |

Why You Should Adopt an Open-Source Code of ConductReza RahmanTechnology communities almost by definition need to be open, welcoming, diverse, and inclusive to do the most good for the most amount of people. Yet without adequate checks and balances technology communities have an unfortunate tendency to be anything but ? especially for people on the wrong side of power dynamics such as women and minorities. Adopting a well-developed Open-Source Code of Conduct such as the Contributor Covenant is a key tool in countering this problem. In this introductory session we will cover what Open-Source Codes of Conduct are, what they seek to accomplish, what makes a good one and why you should adopt one in your project, community, event, group or even company. |
