The Sun will barely set below the horizon before all IT Jedi, Padawans, and Younglings flock to the star system 'Forest Valleys' to affirm their IT status. The testing of the Force adepts will be handled by 'Rostelecom', 'RT Labs', and Habr. The initiation point will be the Russian Internet Forum (RIF), where the warriors of information technology will gather for a council on a multitude of galactic matters — small and medium businesses online, design and UX, digital marketing, cybersecurity, HR, PR, big data.

The initiation of the adepts will take place in a separate section of the RIF starship — the space of 'Rostelecom', 'RT Labs', and Habr — where everyone will have the opportunity not only to prove their skills but also to gain knowledge, awards, and expand their horizons of events. More precisely, their own professional prospects. Details are below the cut.
What interesting insights can be gathered about the projects of 'Rostelecom' and 'RT Labs'?
Mikhail Chernyshev, a black belt in text creation, will tell how to maintain the balance of editorial power in crafting messages for the 90-million audience of the State Services portal. The usefulness of content, jokes, fakes — he will try not to miss anything.
Mikhail will be supported by Leonid Novoziolov, the commander of the digital product development team 'Rostelecom Information Technologies'.
Leonid will speak in the section with a report titled ‘Transformation in the Enterprise: Bastard or True Son’, where he will discuss the reforms of Westeros in the digitalization of large, traditional businesses. How to sell digital products to current clients? How to ‘cement’ current revenue? How do business needs change?
Of course, Leonid will also talk about his team, which creates the federal service for election monitoring and the Unified State Exam, as well as the interactive television Wink, standardized for all galaxies of smart TVs, set-top boxes, computers, and mobile devices.
Now about the testing of IT adepts. In our section, you will find mysterious signs that will lead you to the IT test. The questions will vary: about version control systems, school programming, and even about Masya.

As a result of this highly responsible qualification, you will receive one of three badges — Youngling, Padawan, or Jedi. The last two groups will enter a lottery with prizes whose value depends on the status. We will be raffling subscriptions to our Wink service, digital TV from Rostelecom, travel mugs, power banks, and backpacks filled with useful items. You will be able to commemorate the acquisition of your new status in a GIF booth.
In our section at RIF, you will also be able to learn more about how to become part of the Rostelecom team. We are looking for various experts: we work a lot in the field of data management (, , ), implementing , , and many other technologies of varying degrees of secrecy that have yet to be written about on Habr.
With our support, a hackathon on personal data storage and access distribution by internet services and applications will be held at RIF. You can view the hackathon brief , and submit an application to participate — . The overall program of reports is available on the — dozens of IT enthusiasts are eager to share the Force with you!
