This is the fourth of 12 presentations I’ve selected to mark 20 years in Digital Preservation. It was one of the four presentations I gave as part of the very first iPRES conference at the Chinese National Academy of Sciences in July 2004. iPRES was conceived in 2004 by the Chinese Academy of Science and Electronic Information for Libraries, as a forum to exchange ideas and expertise in digital preservation between China and Europe. Since then, it has expanded to attract delegates from around the world. In subsequent years ensuring continuing access and preservation of e-journals has remained a major international concern for academic libraries .

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.
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.

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.

Jpeg2000 at Wellcome Library
1. JPEG 2000 at the Wellcome
Library
Christy Henshaw
Digitisation Programme Manager – Wellcome Library
JP2 Summit
12-13 May 2011
Library of Congress
2. The Wellcome Trust
•A global charitable foundation
•Achieving extraordinary improvements in human and animal health
•Supporting the brightest minds in biomedical research and the
medical humanities
•Exploring medicine in historical and cultural contexts
4. The Wellcome Library
Collections of books, manuscripts, archives, films and pictures on the
history of medicine from the earliest times to the present day .
5. The Wellcome Digital Library pilot,
2010-2013
Genetics and its Modern Foundations
A new online resource for everyone interested in the history of
human and animal health.
Aims
• build sustainable/expandable mechanism – foundation stone
for WDL
• digitise key library holdings - relating to a major Trust
challenge area
• digitise important third party content – linked to theme
• use innovative content and tools – to encourage discovery and
use
• explore commercial partnerships – enhance access to nontheme material
6. JPEG 2000 conversion – scope
•Wellcome Images – image library, legacy images, 300,000
images in the archive
•Current projects – pilot digitisation projects, 7m images 2010 2014
• Long-term plans – digitisation of large proportion of our
collections (mainly special collections), 15m – 25m images 2014
and beyond
7. Type of content
•Printed books – early printed books, modern books
(monographs), pamphlets, reports
•Archives – personal papers, institutional papers, unpublished
works, mostly 20th century
• Manuscripts – unpublished, handwritten “manuscript books” and
related materials, mostly 17th, 18th and 19th century, can be fragile
• Artworks – prints, paintings, posters, drawings, glass slides, etc.
12. Decision to adopt JP2
JPEG 2000 was found to answer the following needs:
•Storage costs –20/30m TIFFs stored on online, backed-up
storage = multiple petabytes. Needed something cost-effective.
•Quality – needed a high-quality compressed format that would
cover a wide range of content types.
• Robustness – needed a well-established image format with a
high chance of long-term support.
• Practical – feasible to use in a Library digitisation workflow.
13. Finding our way
Working with JP2 opened up a whole new world – reading
specifications, finding conversion software, so many choices.
Commissioned the report:
JPEG 2000 as a Preservation and Access Format for the Wellcome Trust Libr
Goal to find a single version of JPEG 2000 that would meet the
needs of both long-term preservation and flexible delivery needs.

15. Embedding JP2
Chose LuraWave command line tool
• Some issues (bugs, or inconvenient implementations) arose, and
all have been successfully addressed by LuraTech
• Created a firm consensus to use JP2 as the format for all stillimage digital imaging (with one or two exceptions)
• No plans to use JP2 for digital video – but never say never
• Internal information sharing – digital archivists, systems
administrators, IT department, programme board members
• External communication and networking
16. Current status, future plans
• Conversion of all new digital images is now carried out as
standard
• Nearing the final stages of a project to convert 450k image
backlog to JP2 (reducing current footprint from 20 Tb to 5.5 Tb)
• Large projects use lossy JP2, legacy picture library uses lossless
• Developed a strategy to determine compression levels
• Currently using the GUI, but will use the command line interface
with our new workflow system, streamlining conversion and QA
• Medium term, will look at automating compression level selection
17. Quality control for compression
• Visual inspection
• Color shifts, loss of detail, halo effects, pixelation, blurring, etc.
• Collection-based, representative sample
• Test range of compressions with intervals such as 2:1, 4:1, 6:1
• Once artefacts are discovered, step back to previous
compression ratio
• Worst-performing image rules, for any particular collection
• Efficient for homogenous collections – less so for heterogenous
collections with wide variety of content
• Archives particularly difficult – black and white compresses very
well – colour drawings and photographs, not so well
18. Establishing the JP2K-UK group
• Unknown who in the UK were using JPEG 2000, or considering it
• Unknown who was even interested in JPEG 2000
• No one wants to work in a vacuum…
• Discovered a high level of interest: British Library, The National
Archives, Oxford, King’s College London, Cambridge and
Southampton Universities, Digital Preservation Coalition,
commercial companies/consultants
• Loose affiliation of the like-minded – a user group
19. Remit of the JP2K-UK group
• Initial meeting in December 2009
• Everyone had a little knowledge – no one knew enough
• Agreed the need to approach JP2 implementation from
practitioner’s point of view
• “Practitioner” meaning those who manage digital imaging
strategies and implementation
• Agreed need to share information and collaborate
• Discussed ideas for a conference, and creating some guidelines
for the user community
• Wellcome encouraged to write a blog about specific experiences
working with JP2
20. Ouputs
• JPEG 2000 Seminar, held in London in November 2010
> 80 attendees
> UK and European speakers and delegates
> mostly non-technical audience
• Advocacy for practitioner’s needs
> discussing and airing the needs and concerns of
practitioners has influenced software developers, and even the
JPEG Committee
> JPEG
2000 at the Wellcome Library blog
www.jpeg2000wellcomelibrary.blogspot.com
21. Future plans for JP2K-UK
• Guidance for practitioners
> Human readable
> Focus on practicalities
> Enable practitioners to make informed choices
> Advice on implementation
• Community building
> Case studies
> Lessons learned
> Networking (nationally and internationally)
