Nowadays most attacks on websites are executed by automated hacker scripts. Of course, you have updated your Joomla site, your extensions are up-to-date to the latest versions, you backup your site regularly and you have a reliable hosting party. What else can you do?

Hack* your own site! Just like the automated hackscripts* do. But do not do everything on your live site. In the worst case you kill your site, slow down the web server and your hosting provider might block your IP address.

In this presentation + demo Peter shows what hackers* try to do on your website. Peter shows how to set up local test environments (using Virtualbox, Vagrant and Ansible to automatically deploy a LAMP stack) and release automated hackscripts* on it.

(* Actually "hacking" is not the right term. It should be called "cracking" instead. Hackers discover unintended possibilities in tools or applications. Crackers try to circumvent computer security)

Joomla is the probably the largest completely volunteer organisation in the world and yet we do it all wrong. We celebrate a volunteer's efforts based on the hours they give or the number of commits, forum answers or documentation edits they make. There is a better way, a more productive way and a more successful way. Let's take a lesson from a 12th century Spanish/Egyptian philosopher and change how we volunteer to Joomla!

How I became convinced that content needs to be nothing but an API.


Headless CMS, API-first, Content Infrastructure - there are many words to describe a growing trend in the industry of seeing content as just another service. In such an architecture the storage, management and delivery of content all happen in different applications, connected by APIs. Content Management becomes a service, not a platform to build upon.

This marks a complete a shift from the way a traditional, web-focused, CMS like Joomla!, Drupal or WordPress works. In this talk, Rouven, a Contentful Developer Evangelist and former Joomla! core contributor, will explore what such an architecture looks like, why it’s so compelling for developers and how he thinks it’ll change the Content Management landscape.
