Tech Talks

Since 2015, 18F has hosted a series of tech talks - short, internal talks where we share our favorite technology and project information with one another. After a short break in 2021, we're back and now TTS-wide!

This repository is a place to store the related materials, so they:

The current lead is Julia Allen.

Find us on the GSA TTS Slack in the #tech-talks🔒 channel.

Upcoming Tech Talks

We're scheduling our next talks soon. Stay tuned!

For past talks, check out our Archive.

How to attend

If you're an 18F or TTS staffer and would like to attend the talks, ask in #tech-talks or #dev on Slack to be added to the invite (or find it on the "TTS Guild Meetings & Office Hours" calendar).

How to suggest a talk

If you're a staff member who would like to give a talk, please contact us in #tech-talks🔒 on Slack or add an issue: https://github.com/18F/tech-talks/issues

You can present shorter lightning talks (5-10 minutes) which we'll combine with other short talks for a Tech Talks Lite session, or longer talks in which you'd be the featured speaker of the month (25-30 minutes).

What can you talk about? Anything technical! This can be related to work at TTS, or it could be about a broader technical topic (side projects, conference recaps, computer science concepts - the list goes on!). You don't have to be a "coder" either! If you have a technical talk idea, let us know!

How to use this repo

If you're a staff member who is giving a tech talk, please create a talk-specific folder and put your materials there. Whatever you have—code samples, links, slides, video—we'll take it!

If you're not a TTS staffer but want to see what people are talking about, poke around. These are quick, introductory talks; thus there may not be extensive documentation, but there might be something to pique your interest.
