Social Media: Barriers, Blessings and Moving ForwardMeredith Gould
The document discusses social media and its potential barriers and blessings in a religious context. It summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Meredith Gould at the Association of Professional Chaplains Annual Meeting in June 2015. The presentation addressed fears, ignorance, and resistance as potential barriers to using social media, but also how social media enables conversation, community, and comfort. It provides details on Dr. Gould's social media accounts and a monthly chat session to further discuss health and spirituality topics.
Guide to Live Tweeting Church Events is filled with pro-tips for creating hashtags, hardware tools, choosing management and projection platforms, crafting tweets, and how to survive what's an intense ministerial activity that taxes body, mind, and even spirit. Created by Meredith Gould, author of The Social Media Gospel: Sharing the Good News in New Ways with input from #chsocm chat Twitterati.
The document discusses how social media can be an essential tool for organizations if they want to engage with different generations and monitor citizen journalism, but it requires ongoing commitment. It provides tips on how to manage social media by assessing what types of content should be immediate or scheduled, public or private. Metrics for measuring success may include content delivery, audience engagement, community building and identity management, rather than just return on investment. The key is finding tools that make social media manageable and evaluating objectives that may provide value but are not quantifiably measurable.
The document discusses how virtual communities are as real as physical communities. It notes that virtual communities have structures, governance rules, and develop over time similar to physical communities. It also asserts that issues like growth, conflict, and change happen faster in virtual communities compared to physical ones. The document provides a checklist for community success that involves creating structure, establishing standards, and adjusting timelines for the faster pace of virtual communities.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

3. chsocm Great to see folks returning & some new people joining us.
rev_david @MeredithGould Wait ... You think it's just a metaphor? )
chsocm If you're new to tweetchatting on Twitter, you might want to use TweetChat,
the platform, which adds the hashtag automagically
claytonfaulkner director of worship/technology@ elca Lutheran church in Houston.
catholicsme @fsantoni curious to know more about @techreligious
Denise205 @BarbaraKB Twitter is better for conversation. I'm over in one on right
now, in fact!
chsocm T1 Thinking about using social media at the local church/parish level, what
needs to be in place for it to work well?
theologybird rector of cluster of small parishes in MT
fsantoni @catholicsme I call it a "chronicle of faith and social media" I track news &
interesting uses of SM for religious ends
megbeugg Catholic St. Louisan inspired by social media in ministry
rev_david T1 - Must have a clear sense of who your audience is, and what is the goal of
your SM use
fsantoni T1 - Understanding of the two way nature of social media + good content +
staffing
RevWeb T1 A good team of social media minister. Training people to use SM. Getting
into users' networks.
iamepiscopalian T1 Innovation should usually carry the stamp of approval of senior leaders
for starters.
rev_david T1 - sounds like a no-brainer, but it is not in all rural locations Must be
willing to spend $$ on a decent internet connection
theologybird @rev_david And if you're mobile, know how to pick the right gear
fsantoni @rev_david agree too that goals is key. What do you hope to accomplish?
mwecker joining in
catholicsme T1 - Understanding the enormous power of listening when it comes to the
social web. growing bigger ears as @chrisbrogan says
ohxjulie Anyone have tips on following a twitter conversation? One aspect of social
media I haven't delved into yet...
3
4. RevWeb @ohxjulie Folo on tweetchat.com. Much easier.
mwecker @ohxjulie use Hootsuite and create a column for it!
theologybird T1-yes, good articulation of both what you are saying and on whose behalf
you are saying it. We lose so much comm w/only words
rev_david @fsantoni @rev_david E.g., I have no members on Twitter. If I am using it to
spread newsletter-style info, I'm doing it wrong.
mwecker totally agree w @catholicsme's point on about "enormous power of
listening when it comes to the social web."
MeredithGould Remember that Twitter, FB, blogs are only tools & must be used strategically
w/other tools (e.g. print newsletters)
catholicsme T1 letting go of control of the message. and focusing on the messages of
others before sending msg. "seek first to understand"
ecwiscott digital and social media is a must. replaces newspaper and phonebook ads.
RevWeb We use SM to advise attendees of tailgate Eucharist location in Ravens'
parking lot at Sunday a.m. home games.
catholicsme @MeredithGould i agree. print still matters. various media ought to
complement each other. some prefer print, some online.
iamepiscopalian RT @catholicsme T letting go of control of the message. and focusing on the
messages of others before sending msg. // Hmm.
mwecker wonder if folks have double challenge. not only balancing messaging w
being SEO, but also having messages that can't be compromised
theologybird Are there messages that can't be compromised? Seems like history, and
current news, is full of exceptions.
fsantoni It's nice when social media leads us affinity groups like this , but none of us
would call this "community" in the faith sense
pinkpaddler print a total waste of my pledge dollars
iamepiscopalian @rev_david People used to say, why use the ATM? I can just walk in to the
teller and get money. Change comes hard to some.
ecwiscott @theologybird previous administration at my church scolded us for using
social media in the home.
MeredithGould @fsantoni "none of us"? Maybe not a faith community but a community
building around communicating faith, I believe
4
5. TrinityLimeRock @fsantoni Dunno about that. I'm not sure why not. Can you explain further?
TrinityLimeRock @pinkpaddler that's been my recent experience as well
fsantoni @MeredithGould sure, but not the "Christian community" folks in pastoral
roles hope to cultivate...
theologybird @mwecker @theologybird It's a good goal, I just also see it as unlikely. fund
problem with communication. what I say/you hear stuff
MeredithGould @fsantoni And you know that....because? how?
pinkpaddler @TrinityLimeRock I now refuse to design print ads
rev_david @fsantoni @MeredithGould I have had members & neighbors request
pastoral convos over SM - intimate, important conversations
TrinityLimeRock @pinkpaddler YES!!!!
RevWeb Defo community. Found that w/emails years ago. Met folks IRL after months
online. Like meeting and old friend.
fsantoni @TrinityLimeRock at its best SM ought to help express a shared life that
exists in community. SM allows for public witness of it.
iamepiscopalian @pinkpaddler @TrinityLimeRock Printed materials are a tough call. So
many are still doing bulletins for Sundays.
fsantoni @rev_david I had those late night convos via Facebook with college students
looking for support, encouragement <--- sacred moments
chsocm Well, T1 has morphed into a lively discussion! T2 is akin to the question
about what needs to be in place.
TrinityLimeRock @iamepiscopalian @pinkpaddler Bulletins are once thing. We no longer
have inserts. Bulletins help newcomers.
pinkpaddler @iamepiscopalian @trinitylimerock I am talking about some still wanting to
do newspaper ads or service listings
fsantoni @MeredithGould Ahh, the limits of 140 characters! My intent was not to
diminish the "community" formed by affinity groups like ours
pinkpaddler I am a former print journalist who never reads the ads
MeredithGould @fsantoni ;-) I'm a short-copy kind of gal, so I adore the 140 char limit!!
5
6. ecwiscott @theologybird new administration is 0 degrees different. Trying to
blend SM and technology.
mwecker T1 as someone always on lookout for good podcasted sermons, it'd help if
those were prominent & easy to find...
adambowersmedia @ T2 when you feel like you need help getting started or just have no
interest in doing social media yourself
fsantoni @MeredithGould I'm long-winded & wordy! I was trying make point abt
"content marketing" having value churches...never got there
RevWeb T2 May not be professional consultant. That may be the younger members
as example to others on how SM works.
TrinityLimeRock @mwecker unfortunately the statistics don't show people read the sermons
at our house. Maybe podcasts?
iamepiscopalian T2Likely not at all. Just sayin.
rev_david T2 That would be the pastor )
TrinityLimeRock @theologybird I will suggest that to our Vicar.....thx!!
MeredithGould @iamepiscopalian Interesting because...oh, never mind! ;-)
adambowersmedia @chsocm T2 even when you don't feel like you have the expertise or
interest?
iamepiscopalian @MeredithGould What?
RevWeb @rev_david TMaybe not pastor. May be SM users become leaders in using
this new ministry w/out pastor's imprimatur.
MeredithGould @iamepiscopalian Don't national churches and dioceses routinely hire
consultants? I was hired by a RC diocese years ago.
mwecker T2 the folks @marshill (or @pastormark) could confirm this, but I think they
get congregants to donate their time as consultants
sinden T2 I think many of the "outside consultants" may be youth and young adults
in our parishes who understand SM and can teach
theologybird @TrinityLimeRock no problem! the link on my profile goes to the site which
hosts my podcasts.
6
7. MeredithGould @iamepiscopalian But that was for a huge project that they knew they
couldn't handle in-house.
fsantoni T2 I'm banking on it. Hung my shingle months ago!
iamepiscopalian @MeredithGould Oh, sure. If there is $$ sure. We're talking local church level
and budget.
rev_david T- I'm doing a series of workshops for other leaders in the synod, teaching
other leaders about SM
TrinityLimeRock @ecwiscott Yup I am heavy into stats and have a pretty good grasp of who is
reading what. Maybe just an unholy crew
fsantoni Parish hired me to strategize& implement online tools for community
sharing photo directory, small groups, social media
rev_david T2 Would not call myself a consultant or expert, but happy to share what I
know
adambowersmedia T2 It's becoming more and more apparent to me that churches want to do
this themselves, don't trust outsiders, view it as ministry
skypilotofhope RT @rev_david I'm doing a series of workshops for other leaders in the
synod, teaching other leaders about SM // Can u come my way?
MeredithGould I've worked at parishes where communications professionals donated time
as ministry & service.
iamepiscopalian @MeredithGould T2 We have contracted with a few vendors for
development and media monitoring.
fsantoni T2 I think there is value to the consultant that can "speak church"
TrinityLimeRock @adambowersmedia Yup, insider, doing it as ministry. Feel some
affirmation at that.
sinden Jamie Coats of @SSJE spoke of young people as “an ‘Altar Guild’ of nerds” at
@endowedparishes conference
Denise205 @adambowersmedia And it should be a ministry! But some ministers are
professionals and others volunteers.
iamepiscopalian RT @fsantoni TI think there is value to the consultant that can "speak
church" // That's tough to find one.
MeredithGould @rev_david Just don't call yourself a guru, ninja or Jedi.
DanielsWall T2 when you want/need extremely effective social media. Church plants
specifically.
7
8. Denise205 @sinden We can't limit the ministry to young people though. I know some
older people doing social media well too!
TrinityLimeRock @sinden @SSJE @endowedparishes I like the altar guild of nerds. Been
using kids for this as long as I've been involved.
Denise205 That said, it might be a way to invite younger people into new ministry roles.
expatminister @rev_david no. Only if you put "guru." or "futurist."
TrinityLimeRock @Denise205 @sinden THX Denise, turned 70 last week.
iamepiscopalian Uh, how do we feel about sales bots in here? #NotDiggingIt
rev_david T2 On synodical/diocesan level, a consultant makes sense. Hard to justify for
most congregations.
iamepiscopalian RT @rev_david "Altar Guild of Nerds" may be my new favorite phrase.
Denise205 @theologybird @MeredithGould Exactly! This is not an age-specific
ministry!
rev_david @iamepiscopalian I haven't seen them. Sales bots are an abomination unto
the Lord
adambowersmedia @fsantoni That's awesome. There's definitely a huge need for that!
rmkinma A great way to get the new generation involved in church ministry is to ask
them for help in steering twitter and FB presence.
fsantoni @MeredithGould bingo.
MeredithGould @fsantoni Talk Catholic to me!
TrinityLimeRock @chsocm I would like to learn more - have not used them
bmerer @ I'll go there.
mwecker @chscom would be interested to hear who's using them (and wonder if any
"pretty" ones like these http//ow.ly/5Oet w church themes)
chsocm Will post info on the blogsite about QR codes, meanwhile
rev_david re QR Codes - it intrigues me, but I haven't tried anything with them yet.
iamepiscopalian Here is one from us from last week http//iam.ec/ricum Scroll down to
bottom.
chsocm T3 QR codes (quick response) that cell phones can scan to read info are
being adopted. How might churches use them?
8
9. TrinityLimeRock @ our prob lousy cell reception in area, many including me do not have
much besides basic cell svc.
Denise205 @iamepiscopalian and what did that open for QR users?
theologybird What if you had a pretty QR code on your business card instead of just the
website?
TrinityLimeRock @ OK we are across street from Lime Rock Park (car race track) and lots
check in there but few at our house. any help?
iamepiscopalian @Denise205 Detailed info from the article in the insert. We've done video,
art, etc.
rev_david T 3 My prob with QR codes is that so many of my ppl use very basic cell
phones (Did you know you can make phone calls on them?!?)
CatholicMeme T2 Consultant needs to work w/church leadership *and* current SM users in
church. Decide plan, strategy & tactics all together.
fsantoni @iamepiscopalian Compliments u your folks re your recent whitepaper on
SM & deal with Ekklesia 3600...would love hear more
pinkpaddler if your church is into social media, do people show up at your church
expecting PowerPoint and light shows?
theologybird @rev_david Wait! My hand computer makes phone calls too! What a gadget.
klamach T3 flyers for events at your church
Anj T3 I put a QR on my office door and waited for co-workers to ask me what it
was. Most didn't know but gr convo starter!
iamepiscopalian @TrinityLimeRock Yeah, and we're trying to experiment with all this cool
stuff.
Denise205 @TrinityLimeRock @iamepiscopalian Definite learning curve on that, but
for those who are tech-saavy, QR worth trying.
mwecker @anjha! did any try 5o scan after the conversation?
pinkpaddler @MeredithGould my point is we still have a fairly trad worship experience
Anj We created a poster for parishes/schools of all our media sites. I intended to
include the QR Code but maybe next time.
MeredithGould @pinkpaddler Ah...got it.
mwecker @anjha! did any try to scan after the conversation?
9
10. Denise205 @AnjFun idea!
Anj @mwecker Yes! I was a great way to teach the curious with smart phones!
DanielsWall @pinkpaddler I don't think so... I think social media can be a reflection of
your church culture
mwecker @anjand what did you have the code point them to? do you have colleagues
who also use them or just you?
Denise205 @iamepiscopalian I'm with you on that. And QR can take people to deep
links, not just home page, which is big benefit!
TrinityLimeRock @rmkinma @iamepiscopalian Good. Tell me where I can take it if I do it.
iamepiscopalian @Denise205 Bingo.
Chsocm Coming up on the hour in minutes. Closing thoughts?
Anj @mwecker It pointed to our website. I have a couple of others who are
trying to push the ceiling and I have a supportive boss!
TrinityLimeRock @chsocm WOW! Glad I stopped by! THX to all!
Denise205 Thanks to @chsocm and all participants for a fast-moving hour!
RevWeb Bottom line tonite seems website is the driving force that SM supports.
StJon @iamepiscopalian I smite them regularly
iamepiscopalian Anyone wanting to chat about QR stuff, ping me tomorrow in the daylight.
IT'S EASY!
chsocm Great chat, everyone. CoverIt Live feed will be at http//tinyurl.com/2leed
later tonight.
