SPEAKERS

Salma Alam-Naylor - Staff Developer Experience Engineer at Netlify, Microsoft MVP for developer technologies, a partnered live streamer on Twitch, and a qualified teacher.

Talk: We're all living on it. But what exactly is The Edge?

It’s 2022 and we’re all on the edge of our serverless seats. But what is The Edge? What are Edge Functions? And what impact does this new technology have on the Jamstack, the web, and ultimately — people and our planet?

Jen Lambourne - Internal Docs Lead at Monzo Bank

Talk: How to refactor your documentation without losing the will to live

We often talk about writing docs from scratch, but what happens when you take over a project or join a team with a bunch of existing content? You know these docs need improving, but where to start?

In this session, we’ll cover not only how to revamp the docs themselves, but also how to convince your boss it’s worth the time to do so. Whether you’re facing a single README for an open source project, or a few years’ worth of abandoned Confluence pages, this step-by-step process will set you on the path to a fresh start.

FOOD

We haven't quite confirmed who will be bringing the flavour to Fusion, but do not fear! You all know that bringing our Fusion friends the best grub in town is top priority. We'll announce who will be joining us very soon. In the meantime, we have cake! HURRAH!
