Nicole Chung: Sharing is Caring: build a peer-to-peer network with WebRTC | JSConf Iceland 2018
https://2018.jsconf.is/speakers/nicole-chung/ Yes, it’s still experimental, but you can build a peer-to-peer real-time connection using WebRTC - a connection that shares audio, video, files in a fast, highly secure, decentralized manner. In this talk, we will cover how to open up a peer connection using JavaScript, and how to transmit data via a data channel. We will demystify the underlying technologies of the WebRTC protocols (STUN and TURN for example) and show you that it’s possible to store files in a safe, highly secure and decentralized way.

Carolyn Stransky: Humanizing Your Documentation | JSConf Iceland 2018
https://2018.jsconf.is/speakers/carolyn-stransky/ It’s no secret that most people don’t read technical documentation for pleasure. Users often come to your docs when they are frustrated with your software, disappointed that they haven't been able to solve the problem on their own and generally feeling pretty low. This is a little sad, yeah, but being aware of these feelings is key for developers and technical writers. These emotions frame the reader’s perspective and therefore, should shape the mood of our docs. After all, when you've been stuck on a bug for hours, do you really want to read something saying 'but this is so easy'? In this talk, we’ll discuss how the language we use affects our users and the first steps towards writing accessible, approachable and use case-driven documentation.

https://2018.jsconf.is/speakers/halldor-and-thordur/ Colourful paint dripping all over Harpa Concert and Conference Hall's outer walls, vandalism without consequences.
