Lightning talks: Sauli Rajala, Danny Hobo, Onni Hakala
Say hello to our first set of lightning talks at WordCamp Helsinki 2017!
Sauli Rajala
Sauli Rajala was born in a small town called Peräseinäjoki. Now he lives in Jyväskylä, where he works as a front-end developer at Valu Digital. Sauli will give talk about visual regression testing. What it is and why should you use it? Sauli will demonstrate visual regression testing in action with a tool called Wraith.
Danny Hobo
Danny is a developer who has specialised himself in WordPress and e-commerce. As a backend developer he knows how to speed up your site as well as how to speed up the development process. Danny will show you how to use WP-CLI to all those tasks with just one command in the terminal.
Onni Hakala
Onni spends most of his time optimizing slow backends or building webscale solutions with WordPress. He knows how it feels to wake up in middle the night to fix broken websites. Onni will talk about automatic updates of WordPress and tell a story of how he disabled all automatic updates last year. Why he did it and the struggle he had.

Speaker announcement: Miikka Vento
Miikka has been working with WordPress for a few years, overseeing tens of projects ranging from simple campaign sites to large-scale multisites and high levels of API integration. Miikka focuses on “getting it done” – his motto is to enable everyone else to perform to their maximum potential. With the arrival of the so-called European Union “Accessibility Directive”, there has been a lot talk lately about the accessibility of the modern web. Most common guidelines to comply with the requirements of the directive are the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. While doing large scale project, Miikka noticed that the WCAG is not perfect – and has, in fact, some contradictions. The topic will focus on telling what to take into account while designing accessible web services and some tips for the coders as well.

Speaker announcement: Thomas Hurd
A transplant from New Zealand, via a few countries along the way, Thomas came to Helsinki for love – of design. He has translated his background in product, system and service design into developing integrated digital experiences with the team at Pixels. As a creative and CEO, Thomas works with a team that creates considered user experiences, beautiful design and powerful technical implementations. Because a ‘Briefly in English’ page is about as big a turn off as an orange in the White House, Thomas will venture into strategies for planning and building successful multilingual and/or multi-regional websites that maximise content and the end user experience.
Be ready! Our ticket sales starts tomorrow, Tuesday March 7th at 10 AM. Also be sure to subscribe to updates from the sidebar or follow us on Twitter to keep up to date with more speaker announcements!
Speaker announcement: Aki Björklund
Aki Björklund has been building websites since 2000. After 10 years of developing custom CMSs with Microsoft technologies for big Finnish media companies, among other things, he had enough and switched to 100% WordPress. He knows that working with abstract things like the web can sometimes be demotivating and that it’s sometimes a struggle to find motivation to continuously do your best. Aki will share what he has learned on how to cope with the pressure, focus on stuff that matters, and finding meaning and motivation in work.
