10 Worst Mistakes in SharePoint BrandingMarcy Kellar
Earlier this year I wrote a blog on the Top 10 Mistakes in SharePoint 2010 Branding and UI Design (http://bit.ly/ITzlJl) and had such an overwhelming response that I wanted to present it to the community. I brought in a front end developer (Tom Daly) and a Developer (Mike Mukalian) to help me convey the different perpsectives that each of our roles takes. My original list of mistakes changed a bit when we brainstormed on overall cost and commonality of branding messes. I still stand by my original listing in the blog but by adding different roles in the mix, we were able to provide a depth of experience to support these 10 costly and common mistakes in SharePoint Branding and UI Development.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

set up an RSS feed, 2 announcing the blog
workshop, 2 asking for survey responses) over 7
months.
Use email reminders not only as an
encouragement to read, but include tips on access
22. Easy Access to Blog
Do you know your audience?
Is reading blogs a part of your audience’s
workflow?
Do they have feed readers and do they use
them?
Does your audience want to use RSS, but
does not know how?
FeedBurner is an email update alternative
Some people would prefer a link to visit the
page as they have time
23. Staff Workshop Session on Blog
A hands-on workshop gives staff time to ask
questions, get clarification, and a dedicated time to
try out new tools
Library Tech Talk blog is a staff development tool
Staff development sessions offered every month or so
and all staff encouraged to attend
Session focused on access to the blog, getting
involved, and why it could be useful for all staff and
librarians

communication
technologies, i.e., blogs, readers, wikis, etc., to
better discover ways to apply them in the
workplace.”
36. Staff Survey Results
6.) How can we improve the blog?
“It is great as-is!”
“The blog is quite good, topics are interesting
and images help enhance the post. The
authors have a nice writing style that keeps
things fresh, even with some topics that can
be cumbersome. Keep using images and poll
users when that seems appropriate.”
“Don’t see the need to improve it.”
37. Staff Survey Results
6.) How can we improve the blog?
“The blog can be improved by adding posts more
frequently.”
“Nothing comes to mind, except perhaps more frequent
posts…”
“Maybe a little more about the library applications of the
technologies.”
“I might suggest indicating who updates/sponsors the blog.
I get a lot of marketing material in my inbox which I tend to
mostly ignore, and since I’ve subscribed to your blog I’ve
forgotten that it comes from you and that’s one of the
reasons I never read it.”
“Maybe change the title so we know it's coming from you
all - there are websites/journals with similar titles so
updates can be overlooked.”
38. Survey Analysis
Many intend to use blog, but have not yet
Focusing the blog on specific practical applications may help
guide those who have not yet used new technology
Additional workshops could help improve blog
interest, provide clarification and additional follow-up
