'''Session Title:''' Invest in Canada's CRM Journey
'''Description:''' As the first Salesforce customer in the Government of Canada, we would like to share our Salesforce journey from identifying the need for a CRM through to roll-out. This will cover how and why Salesforce was chosen (needs and requirements, CRM evaluation, decision), how it was implemented (design and architecture, roll-out) in addition to providing reflections on the whole process and lessons we have learned.

'''Session Title:''' Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery in a hybrid cloud environment
'''Description:''' At IRCC we’ve recently begun migrating workloads to the cloud. As part of our cloud journey we’ve had to find create ways to marry existing development and deployment processes with newer continuous integration and continuous delivery processes (CI/CD) more commonly used in a cloud-based environment. This need to manage the old with the new has led to the development of a hybrid CI/CD process which leverages existing on premise tools and cloud based services.
Our presentation will show how we’ve leveraged our departments existing on premise application lifecycle management toolset, Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS), which is used to manage our source code, tasks, bugs and releases, in conjunction with AWS CodeDeploy and AWS CodePipeline which allows us to assemble and migrate our web applications to the cloud.

'''Session Title:''' DevOps, Cloud and open source software - Pillars of a Digital Government
'''Description:''' My goal with this presentation would be to go over the GC Digital Standards and showcase how they essentially are embodying these three pillars. Cloud is a scalable and standardised deployment approach, DevOps is the people working together to generate value based on the three ways and Open Source is the collaboration of various individuals and groups addressing common challenges.

'''Session Title:''' CRA Cloud Adoption, Chatbots and Performance Testing
'''Description:''' An overview of CRA's overall Cloud Adoption to date including various challenges faced to date. The CRA Beta Chatbot released for the climate action incentive program is an example of the rapid development of a public service that was made possible because of the GC Public Cloud offering. Experiences with this pathfinder project will be shared. CRA will also provide an update on how the team repurposed a development load testing environment hosted from within MS Azure, to enable performance testing of cloud services with minimal time and effort. In addition, discussion around how CRA is further developing automated processes to enable Performance Testing on Demand to streamline and improve the testing required for Cloud.

'''Session Title:''' CI/CD Pipelines
'''Description:''' I want to give a short presentation on how we organizations can start their DevOps Journey today for little cost and time investment using free and open source tools as a way to fill the gap until their working groups/strategy/architecture folks come up with an "Enterprise" solution. Or you know just use free and open source tools and optimize for each teams workflow instead of just creating an enterprise solution but it's Government and we all know how well that stuff works.
I'm going to very quickly go over some free tools like Cypress.io and aXe-Core for e2e and a11y test automation, some Security tools from OWASP, and some other Open source tools for automating stuff.
I'm also going to show some graphs that show how spending a small amount of time right now will provide a big ROI especially when we look at GoC timelines (10+ years, maybe even 20+).
I was also thinking about talking super quickly about CI/CD pipelines and how they've become so commoditized that you should just pick one and start working with instead of spending so much time trying to pick the best one.
So if you are buying from a CSP just use their product (Azure DevOps, Google Cloud Build, AWS CodePipeline, etc....) or just some open source solution.

'''Session Title:''' Bringing cloud deployment previews into your review process
'''Description:''' Testing and verifying changes to applications before putting them into production is often a very slow and manual process, involving costly, hard-to-procure servers. Speeding up that process with cloud deployments on low-cost servers removes huge barriers for all your stakeholders.
Heroku pioneered “disposable” apps created per pull request allowing easier review. That works great for small services, but what about more complex setups like Kurbernetes?
At Canadian Digital Service, we’ve prototyped a solution to this problem by allowing you to replicate production deployments from scratch in under 10 minutes per pull request. This presentation will explain why this is needed in the deployment process and do an overview of the prototype.

'''Session Title:''' Just-in-time compliance - taking your security assessment process from six months to six minutes.
'''Description:''' Security assessments, compliance validation, and reporting represents a huge investment of both time and money by departments building software solutions. This talk will demonstrate a DevOps solution used at the Canadian Digital Service to automatically assess, build, and report our compliance posture as part of our continuous deployment process, speeding up delivery and freeing up capacity for our security team.
While you may have heard of Compliance Masonry, this solution is novel in that it leverages Kubernetes in the cloud to run a container-based, programming language agnostic, suite of security checks which gets aggregated into a GraphQL API on every release. The resulting report can then either be viewed on a website or emailed to stakeholders in a convenient PDF format.

'''Description:''' When cloud strategy is the priority and plan...what do you do when the unexpected happens and you have to jump into the cloud before you are ready? Under what circumstances would you do this? How would you respond? And will you land in order to continue moving forward or do you fall through?

'''Session Title:''' Accessibility Matters: Effective testing gives you back a lot of time later
'''Description:''' Accessibility has a reputation for being hard and sometimes even unobtainable. But building inclusive services that work better for everyone isn’t about perfection. The Canadian Digital Service (CDS) is using a variety of accessibility testing tools. We use a combination of automated testing, assistive technology, manual and testing with users with disabilities.
At CDS, we design for accessibility early and often. We are able to flag issues in our daily stand-ups. Discuss approaches and requirements in our sprints. This allows us to track outcomes like lessons learned on what did and didn’t work in our retros. Champions are integrated into teams, and they navigate doing the right thing first as opposed to fixing the wrong thing later.
We have made strides towards better accessibility practices at CDS, and we learned a lot along the way. Here are our plans for the future for an open and collaborative approach to accessibility. We have a long way to go and we’ll iterate along the way.
Takeaways that the audience will learn from your talk
Start with research with persons with disabilities
Automated testing tools: how can I automate all the things?
Manual testing, how do I do that? Doesn’t my automated testing do that work for me?
Learn how to test for accessibility collaboratively: How to Conduct Paired Accessibility Review
Why is usability testing important?
Do I need an accessibility audit?
