Knowledge 19: Proposals to present- # Knowledge 19: Proposals to present

December 2, 2018 [servicenow ](/tags/servicenow/)[knowledge-conference](/tags/knowledge-conference/)

  Enable AI AnimationBelow are my K19 proposal’s to speak. I’d like to develop these points into posts at some point so I have an embedded survey below the details of these talks

[Results](https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-MR75LCJ9V/)

# [Integrate repeatably faster by following these steps](#integrate-repeatably-faster-by-following-these-steps)

## [Session Abstract](#session-abstract)

### [Introduction and Problem Statement](#introduction-and-problem-statement)

My company is a company like others, with data in a lot of places. In this session, we’ll look at how having a consistent integration policy can help make development of those integrations easier.

### [Approach and Results](#approach-and-results)

In this session, I will share how we’ve;

Improved device tracking (azure intune) for compliance, and security reasons.
- SolarWinds import to improve discovery
- CrashPlan import to drive compliance of legal holds and status in a central system

### [Attendees will learn how to](#attendees-will-learn-how-to)

- Make a import set from a script
- Make import set rows from a script
- Run transform maps against a import set from a script

## [What is the objective of your session?](#what-is-the-objective-of-your-session)

To show, how and why using some consistent practices around integrations can save you a lot of time and trouble.

## [What are the three key takeaways you will want your audience to leave with?](#what-are-the-three-key-takeaways-you-will-want-your-audience-to-leave-with)

- You can follow a common import pattern to drive most integrations to simplify development and further customizations
- Rest API integrations that ServiceNow has to ask for data from can follow this pattern
- After you do it once or twice you can do it for other integrations

# [Open Sourcing ATF tests with Github and hacktoberfest](#open-sourcing-atf-tests-with-github-and-hacktoberfest)

## [Session Abstract](#session-abstract-1)

### [Introduction and Problem Statement](#introduction-and-problem-statement-1)

My company is a company like others, we want to upgrade without delay but due to testing are slowed sometimes. In this session, we’ll talk about how I started a repo to open source OOB Test Suites to give us a baseline for future upgrades.

### [Approach and Results](#approach-and-results-1)

In this session, I will share how I started to maintain a repo for test suites in ServiceNow. I found I was participating in my second #hacktoberfest and a thought occurred. How can I get other people to build tests so I don’t have to? And it’s simple. Make a repo, share it and spread the word.

## [Attendees will learn how to](#attendees-will-learn-how-to-1)

- Contribute to an open source project for scoped applications
- Avoid nuances for ServiceNow’s repos branches
- Accept and Reject Pull Requests without breaking and losing data.
- Make a project site for the project with Netlify

## [What is the objective of your session?](#what-is-the-objective-of-your-session-1)

To show, how and why open sourcing some scoped applications can save you time.

## [What are the three key takeaways you will want your audience to leave with?](#what-are-the-three-key-takeaways-you-will-want-your-audience-to-leave-with-1)

- You can open source scoped applications to share with the community work managed on git
- Doing so can get other to contribute to help drive the progression of the project
- It can help everyone, so, try to share in the future.

# [Learn by supporting or starting your own local Developer Meetup](#learn-by-supporting-or-starting-your-own-local-developer-meetup)

## [Session Abstract](#session-abstract-2)

### [Introduction and Problem Statement](#introduction-and-problem-statement-2)

Two years ago I started a Developer Meetup for ServiceNow talent to do ad-hoc labs and have happy hours. I didn’t want what happened to the SNUG’s happening to this event so I volunteered.

### [Approach and Results](#approach-and-results-2)

Running the event has been a ride and I would do it all over again. In this session I’ll go over what it takes to run these events.

## [Attendees will learn how to](#attendees-will-learn-how-to-2)

- Identify how often and about what the meetup should meet about.
- Finding content to use for labs and / or for happy hour discussions.
- Finding hosting locations in your area.

## [What is the objective of your session?](#what-is-the-objective-of-your-session-2)

To share what it takes to run developer meetups to give attendees information to form their own OR assist their local meetup.

## [What are the three key takeaways you will want your audience to leave with?](#what-are-the-three-key-takeaways-you-will-want-your-audience-to-leave-with-2)

- You don’t have to host or run the event to help. There’s lot’s of opportunity to help out.
- Attend it, it’s smaller and less formal then your ServiceNow user groups.
- Provide feedback, it’s always useful.
