In addition, we'll walk through the customer and partner resources available to organizations to help you develop a comprehensive strategy.
Dev Camp Montréal - 2011-11-29 - The evolvement of the tech industryFrédéric Harper
The document discusses the evolution of the tech industry and Microsoft's relationship with open source over time. It notes that in 1998 open source was growing and perceived as opposing Microsoft, but that today in 2011 open source has significantly grown while Microsoft has also grown its own open source contributions and collaborations. The document suggests that rather than viewing Microsoft and open source as opposing, it may be more accurate to see them as working together through Microsoft's contributions, collaborations, and support of open source communities.

Leveraging social media tools, relationships and content expertise, the Information Services team at Sun Microsystems has integrated info/knowledge into programs like engineering, marketing, sales and learning to drive connections, discovery and knowledge sharing. The focus is on employee learning, keeping the organization smart and providing good information to drive good decisions. You will learn about the value of information services at Sun and see the use of Social Learning Exchange, wikis, blogs, Twitter, and virtual worlds to create an integrated learning experience around information for Sun employees.
Information architecture is emerging as a 21st century profession focused on organizing information to make it clear and usable for humans. It involves developing structures for information that allow users to efficiently find what they need. An information architecture contains details about an organization's goals, functions, and categories of information. The TOGAF framework provides an approach for defining an information architecture through processes like requirements analysis, design, and implementation. Developing an information architecture brings benefits like reducing support costs, improving user satisfaction, and enabling business change.

Building Great Software Engineering TeamsBrian Link
Being an effective software engineering manager is a tricky job. Whether you’re hiring the engineering manager, are already one or report to one, in this session you’ll learn what makes the best engineering managers and how to build, participate in and manage great engineering teams. I provide tips and advice in five areas of focus: people, process, technology, product and execution.
Topics include: hiring, building a team to complement your strengths, management style, effective communication, mentoring, virtual teams, career guidance, technical leadership, team size/structure, agile development, strategic roadmap building and delivering on-time.
The document discusses enabling a productive Linked Data environment within enterprises. It outlines three common unwanted situations: seeing Linked Data as only strategic and not tactical, viewing it as just another ETL process, and focusing too much on formalisms. The document then proposes five success factors: using domain-specific metaphors, joining developer communities, adopting agile practices, taking a community-focused approach, and being pragmatic. The conclusion restates the unwanted situations and success factors as takeaways for productive Linked Data projects within companies.
This document discusses principles for designing global data warehouse architectures to support enterprise business intelligence applications.
It notes common challenges in accessing isolated enterprise data stores due to business, legal, technical and other obstacles. It provides tips for overcoming these, including establishing strong executive sponsorship, understanding the data, and standardizing data models.
The article also discusses the importance of data usability and consolidating source data into readable dimensional models to enable self-service BI. Semantic layers can help integrate disparate data models and technologies. Overall it emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to enterprise data and analytics.
This document provides an overview of Enterprise Project Management (EPM). It defines EPM as taking a holistic view of all project management activities across an organization to support business goals and strategy. EPM is supported by software that provides visibility and management of all projects from demand to reporting. When selecting EPM software, organizations should consider factors like cost, features, methodology support, reporting capabilities, and maintenance/support. EPM software can help align work, enable collaboration, and provide insights to improve project execution across an enterprise.
One of my favorite interview questions that I ask engineering candidates is to tell me about one thing they liked and one thing they disliked about the engineering culture at their previous company. I’ve interviewed over 500 people – many of them from top tech companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Palantir, and Dropbox – and over time, this interview question has given me a sense of what good engineers look for and what they’re trying to avoid. Reflecting back on the interview responses and on my own experiences from the past seven years working across Google, Ooyala, and Quora, I’ve distilled ten things that a team can do to build a good engineering culture.

LibTech 2010: Knowledge Management in an Academic Environment: A Case StudyHamilton Public Library
Systems and technology for managing documents, content and knowledge have been developed in recent years to address the increasingly complex need for easy access to large collections of data and information. While traditional knowledge management systems do their best to aid organizations in increasing the effectiveness of the information it generates, for the most part, these systems are not as successful as desired. In many cases, while the system is working as designed, the “human element” in terms of how people approach using and sharing information is overlooked.
This case study will describe how the application of social media is improving the effectiveness and increasing the adoption of knowledge management in an academic research environment. Specifically, the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management has been using a mix of social media technologies in combination with their knowledge management system to improve usability, increase the rate and frequency of use and contribution, and provide a satisfying, contextual search and find experience for their audience of senior academic researchers. The audience will learn about our journey from a large, unsorted data and document collection to what we are building now, which is a comprehensive research resource that uses a variety of social media tools, including wikis, blogs and Twitter, to manage and share our research collection internally, to collaborate within our family of international research affiliates, and to communicate our research agenda and findings to our academic community. Challenges we faced and resolved will be included, as well as costs (financial and otherwise), and our future plans.
MWNW Toronto Community Night - Make Web Not WarFrédéric Harper
The document summarizes a talk given by Frederic Harper of Microsoft about open source and Microsoft's relationship to it over time. It discusses how perceptions of Microsoft versus open source have changed, with Microsoft now contributing to and collaborating on many open source projects. It notes Microsoft has grown to support over 25,000 open source projects while the overall number of open source projects has grown to over 322,000. The talk encourages thinking about how Microsoft and open source can work together going forward.
This document provides an overview of the CS639: Data Management for Data Science course. It discusses that data science is becoming increasingly important as more fields utilize data-driven approaches. The course will teach students the basics of managing and analyzing data to obtain useful insights. It will cover topics like data storage, predictive analytics, data integration, and communicating findings. The goal is for students to learn fundamental concepts and design data science workflows and pipelines. The course will include lectures, programming assignments, a midterm, and final exam.
The document discusses emerging technologies and their potential role in social movements. It outlines how technological transformations like increased connectivity and computing power, combined with societal shifts, may be reaching a tipping point. New collaboration platforms could harness these forces, scaling mass collaboration to millions of people. Specific projects mentioned include Open Project Infrastructure to match collaborators through metadata, and an ecosystem rollout approach across issues like climate change and local foods. Current projects under development include Isofractal, a "cloud operating system" for mass collaboration, and PartyX, aiming to develop new collaborative decision-making models and movement building. Crowdsourcing is presented as a way to fund high-risk social change work without traditional institutional funding.

Adolfo Ruiz Calleja "Using social and semantic tech"ifi8106tlu
This document outlines a social-semantic infrastructure called SEEK-AT-WD to help educators discover and select ICT tools. It proposes using semantic technologies to publish descriptions of educational ICT tools as linked open data. This would allow tool descriptions to be obtained from multiple sources on the web of data and enriched by both educators and the web community. An ontology called SEEK Ontology is developed to provide semantic structure to the tool descriptions. The SEEK-AT-WD infrastructure implements approaches like crawling other datasets, automatically mapping data to the ontology, and building a semantic knowledge base to store and publish the linked data.
This document provides guidance on when and how to use Microsoft Teams and Office 365 Groups. It begins with an introduction to Office 365 Groups and how they enable self-service collaboration through the creation of a group identity in Azure Active Directory. This allows for automatic provisioning of shared workspaces like Outlook, SharePoint, OneNote etc. It then provides an overview of Microsoft Teams and its advantages. The document examines when different tools should be used and addresses common administration concerns around public vs private groups and external access. It offers guidance on applying lifecycle management to groups to prevent sprawl.
Gordon Vala-Webb presents a framework for developing a collaboration strategy. The strategy involves:
1) Defining business outcomes from collaboration.
2) Focusing efforts on specific people, tasks, and types of collaboration.
3) Nurturing new ways of working by addressing psychological needs.
4) Measuring collaboration activities and outcomes to evaluate progress.
5) Revising the strategy based on feedback to accelerate or stop certain approaches.
The presentation provides examples of collaboration tools and challenges of implementing new strategies in organizations. Attendees are engaged in exercises to apply the framework to their own contexts.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
