In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

sethhinz: reppin' #lcms at tonight
RevWeb: If youre looking to learn more about church and social media youre welcome to come join
chat happening right now on Twitter.
chsocm: We're going to zoom in on Facebook & it won't be the only or last time!
rampracer: RT @tijuanabecky: looking to learn more re church and social media you're welcome to
come join chat happening right now on Twitter.
lutherangrldchz: Thanks @drothamel - that's great! A town that I actually know in CNY!
chsocm: T1: Facebook has evolved as a social media tool. How have you used FB to build
community?
AmyL_Bishop: @JustinWise What is the chat about?
rampracer: RT @chsocm: We're going to zoom in on Facebook & it won't be the only or last time!
AmyL_Bishop: RT @chsocm: T1: Facebook has evolved as a social media tool. How have you used
FB to build community?
lutherangrldchz: RT @chsocm: T1: Facebook has evolved as a social media tool. How have you used
FB to build community?
drothamel: T1: Yes. But that depends on the definition of "community."
MeredithGould: @drothamel Feel free to factor in your own definition!
lutherangrldchz: We have a facebook page! That's a start right?!? I try and post upcoming events
and interesting links that people might find useful
JustinWise: T1: We have done some research for this at @MonkDev
chsocm: @tijuanabecky On your church/organization's FB page.
paulsteinbrueck: @chsocm T1: Right now our church isn't building community on its FB page. Just
using it as another broadcast channel.
theologybird: T1--It varies wildly depending on how FB oriented the parish is/is willing to be. Can
be useful for ministry over distance, or not
4
5. tijuanabecky: A1: Asking questions and trying to relate your posts to real life has helped me build
community.
Bayathread: Baya Clare, Sister of St Joseph of Carondelet, St Paul, Minnesota. Greetings!
RevWeb: T1 FB is parish bulletin board, phone tree, confidential messaging platform
w/parishioners. Event invites bring together folks too.
drothamel: T1: Our church currently has two FB presences. One is a public page, the other is a
closed group.
hughmacken: T1 we've posted audio of pastor's homily on wall. 1 elderly woman told me she could
hear it on FB better than in Church
rev_david: @chsocm Yes, our church page is more broadcasting (mostly, not entirely) and
community building seems to happen on my profile
JustinWise: T1: Result #2 - http://cl.ly/2B1b2L2X3m3e0x3w
TrinityLimeRock: 2 FB pages: one for general parish, one for our sports program
lutherangrldchz: @dothamel Do people actually use the closed group?
JustinWise: T1: Result #3 - http://cl.ly/3t2P1M0G0c1J2k1q
TrinityLimeRock: both tend to be broadcast channels
chsocm: @JustinWise Would you provide a 140 char synopsis for each result?
hughmacken: T1 we also occasionally give away a free coffee card to the first person who likes the
giveaway post - for fun
klamach: RT @frdavidken: T1 I use FB to make my daily prayer more "common" in a time where
the church bell doesn't bring the village together
chsocm: T1a Do you have one FB account or different ones for each ministry?
christinaauch: RT @rev_david: RT @frdavidken: T1 I use FB to make daily prayer more "common"
where church bell doesnt bring the village together
rev_david: T1 - FB makes me available - through comments, through messaging, etc in ways that are
otherwise not possible
MeredithGould: MT @Anj1: I'm from diocese of raleigh. T1 we've had a page for 1 year & it's been a
slow progression from broadcast to engagement
JustinWise: T1: Result 3 - Facebook excelled at promoting events and activities.
TrinityLimeRock: @anj1 how do you get progess from broadcast to engagement started?
5
6. lutherangrldchz: T1a - I have one FB account - between FB, Twitter and now G+ I don't know how
someone could keep track of two accounts!
MeredithGould: RT @JustinWise: T1: Result 1 - Facebook excelled at rewarding and encouraging
the online community.
MeredithGould: RT @JustinWise: T1: Result 2 - Growing online community itself.
MeredithGould: RT @JustinWise: T1: Result 3 - Facebook excelled at promoting events and
activities.
RevWeb: T1-Love following youth group at St. James-Midvale UT. They use it as fundraising tool,
notice board, rallying point.
TrinityLimeRock: T1a - 2 FB pages (parish and sports program)
penelopepiscopl: @hughmacken Just shows you, you never know. Great story.
MeredithGould: @hughmacken You know the joke right: FB is the party your parents have crashed!
hughmacken: RT @RevWeb: T1-Love following youth group at St. James-Midvale UT. They use it as
fundraising tool, notice board, rallying point.
frdavidken: Would be interested to know if anyone has advertised their church's facebook page
mgoins: @JustinWise Thank you for the tweets and for directing me to the chat! I love the
resources you keep pointing me towards!
paulsteinbrueck: RT @MeredithGould: @hughmacken You know the joke right: FB is the party your
parents have crashed!
chsocm: @drothamel Feel free to factor in your own definition!
rev_david: @frdavidken No, but I have thought about it ... maybe around Xmas this year
drothamel: @frdavidken we advertise ours on the website, and we have advertised it on mail-
drops.
JustinWise: @mgoins My pleasure :)
AmyL_Bishop: T1: #FB Groups help specific ministries share meeting details & continue the convo
with members, esp. college/-somethings.
sethhinz: To follow a conversation on church social media follow #chsocm
drothamel: @frdavidken I'm actually going to teach a FB class to our membership later this month,
to help people get involved.
MeredithGould: IMrHO, social media badges & links should be on every piece of communication
coming from the church.
6
7. TrinityLimeRock: Announced lots. Never advertised.
MeredithGould: @frdavidken Oh...okay.
rev_david: @frdavidken @MeredithGould Ah, That's what I thought. Not yet. Considering it.
TrinityLimeRock: Too many bad visceral reactions to FB from some older parishioners
chsocm: T2 is coming up and ties in nicely. Get ready!
lutherangrldchz: Is the purpose to gain 1,000 fans on FB or to mainly have church members know
what is happening in the life of the parish?
AmyL_Bishop: @drothamel @frdavidken It's also important & easy to include links to all #SM
channels in any email newsletters you distribute.
yarby: @justinwise haha, you got me with that tantalizing #hashtag.
sethhinz: Best keywords for FB targeted ads?
RevWeb: FB ads: St. Thomas-Dupont Circle in DC uses FB ads. Have not heard results.
chsocm: T2: How do you use different FB features (e.g., notes, video)? Or do you simply use the
Wall?
yarby: @drothamel I think that class is necessary. I've encouraged other churches to do the same
thing that face lack of involvement.
lutherangrldchz: @RevWeb is it for the church or for the FB fan page?
rev_david: @lutherangrldchz Purpose of SM = building community; by generating conversation,
sharing information, & making connections
TotusTuus: @Anj1 Thanks. Church FB...open dialogue or do u find some challenges to moderate? Do
older parishoners/non tech feel left out?
rampracer: RT @chsocm: T2: How do you use different FB features (e.g., notes, video)? Or do you
simply use the Wall?
TrinityLimeRock: T2 - wall, photo albums, events is about it
RevWeb: @lutherangrldchz @RevWeb Both. Drive folks to FB fan page. Also invite folks to church.
drothamel: @yarby thanks. I'll probably do more than one. I like helping people discover what is
possible with SM.
JustinWise: T2: Does anyone use custom tabs? A la http://fb.me/hopewdm?
AmyL_Bishop: T2: I think it's important for churches to utilize a welcome/landing tab, email signup
form, discussions and video applications.
7
8. lutherangrldchz: @rev_david I agree, I don't see why someone would buy a FB ad just to gain fb
fans? But I suppose someone in their community could C
klamach: not sure why all members need to be on board with Facebook
yarby: @sethhinz we ran 1 camp. tht targeted non-churched, tht liked pages of ppl tht needed to be
reached. & 1 for ppl familiar w/ church.
penelopepiscopl: Agree!!! RT @klamach: @chsocm not sure why all members need to be on board
with Facebook
christinaauch: @lutherangrldchz FB purpose is mixed - higher # likes/more visibility/more shares
means expanding beyond members and into neighbors
rev_david: @lutherangrldchz It's not about the #s, It's about connecting the page w/ new ppl (in &
out of the congregation) & raising awareness
TrinityLimeRock: klamach the ones who are not on board are loudly not on board
frdavidken: @penelopepiscopl @klamach @chsocm They'll feel left out
lutherangrldchz: @rev_david Agreed
drothamel: @penelopepiscopl @klamach not ALL members need to be involved, but the more, the
better.
yarby: @justinwise yes. Custom tabs are amazing at telling ppl what their about to dive into and
give them a broader understanding.
lutherangrldchz: @christinaauch: Good point!
TotusTuus: What I'd like to see. RT @chsocm: post what you think are great examples of FB pages
for others to see.
rampracer: RT @chsocm: During the week, please feel free to post what you think are great
examples of FB pages for others to see.
mirgray: But if U cld pick only 1? RT @ I think it's impt for the FB page, website, blog & Twitter acct
to be integrated re: design & tone.
penelopepiscopl: Re left out: use all tools to reach wide audience. Some don't want phone calls -
doesnt mean we dont call those who do.
tijuanabecky: @OurChurchDotComand @lifechurchtv 's pages are great as well as tons of others!
rev_david: Tapping out to play dolls with my little one, y'all have a good night ... Parting shot --
AmyL_Bishop: I'm so happy my Tweetchat finally started working!
drothamel: @rev_david Enjoy your evening!
8
9. rev_david: There is a real hunger to engage on FB -- our members are there (and many would be, to
see the g'kids picture if only they knew how)
chsocm: T2a Who manages the FB acct for your organization? Do you have a designated community
mgr?
lutherangrldchz: @MeredithGould you mean all of the webpages on a website should match?! ;)
shamike2009 We use the Notes feature for announcements, Video is mainly pastor, wall for chat
and prayer request.
tijuanabecky: Glad you're here @AmyL_Bishop!
yarby: The thing 4 churches 2 understand is Social Media is merely abt engaging, interacting,
cultivating community. Extend beyond Sunday
drothamel: @rev_david bingo!
AmyL_Bishop: Yes. Online branding consistency is key! RT @drothamel @MeredithGould lack of
cohesive purpose is a problem. Design conveys purpose
rev_david: How do we, the churches & leaders, enable those who want to connect in this way?
G'night!
JustinWise: Here's a GREAT post by @djchuang about top church FB pages --->
http://monk.so/qPS3qH
MeredithGould: @lutherangrldchz Shocking, yes. And here's another shocker: there shouldn't be
bazillion fonts on every page.
chsocm: @lutherangrldchz Of course!

10. lutherangrldchz: @drothamel Comic Sans drives me NUTS!
JustinWise: #WIN // RT @drothamel: so many church websites look like Geocities and Comic Sans
had a baby. It’s sad.
AmyL_Bishop: Ha :) RT @drothamel: @MeredithGould @lutherangrldchz so many church websites
look like Geocities & Comic Sans had a baby. It’s sad.
penelopepiscopl: @MeredithGould @drothamel Hey, I like comic sans. Use it for my sermons. Easy
to read.
christinaauch: @chsocm T2a We have 2 mgrs for page "in case one gets hit by a bus"; a different one
for the closed group b/c affinity
tijuanabecky: RT @yarby: Th thing 4 churches 2 understand is Social Media is abt engaging,
interacting, cultivatng community. Extend beyond Sunday
Anj1: @lutherangrldchz I think not, because people can tag themselves if they want to. I don't like
to be tagged in unflattering pics!
TrinityLimeRock: Have media releaese; still don't tag kids
lutherangrldchz: @theologybird What do you suggest? I have tagged the minors parents before and
we always have a media release
theologybird: RT @TrinityLimeRock: Have media release; still dont tag kids

jeanalawrence: what's the topic?
drothamel: @penelopepiscopl perhaps @MeredithGould can conduct a typography
intervention/exorcism. ;-)
JustinWise: @jeanalawrence Yeah! Glad you're here....
chsocm: The tagging issue raises another subtopic: T2b: What sorts of privacy settings do you
recommend?
penelopepiscopl: RT @drothamel: @penelopepiscopl perhaps @MeredithGould can conduct a
typography intervention/exorcism-->y'all aren't the boss of me.
MeredithGould: @penelopepiscopl I'm telling God on you!
theologybird: My profile: High, Church's page: open with disclaimers

11. JustinWise: We did a webinar on the topic of social media privacy settings for ministers/pastors ---
> http://justinwise.net/webinars
yarby: at a recent church I worked w/ there was a Comm Mgr & wrkd w/ them to implement a VOL
team to act as contact b/w depts.
tijuanabecky: How do you get started with getting ppl to engage and interact on your page?
penelopepiscopl: @MeredithGould God, creator of everything that is, seen and unseen, and called it
good LIKES comic sans.
jeanalawrence: @tijuanabecky ah, thanks
MeredithGould: @penelopepiscopl LOLOL...and tiaras!
AmyL_Bishop: T3: What kind of privacy are we talking about? Personal profiles, pages, groups?
Anj1: @tijuanabecky I've found people like polls!
MeredithGould: RT @Anj1: @tijuanabecky I've found people like polls!
drothamel: @Anj1 what kind of topics do you use for the polls?
RevWeb: @JustinWise My last count was 3 different URLs in response to different topics. Tell us.
Don't just drive us.
JustinWise: @Anj1 @tijuanabecky Polls are the joint. Posts that have "Where" "When" "Would" or
"Should" garner % more interaction.
drothamel: @RevWeb later, @JustinWise put each of the slides in text form in tweets.
lutherangrldchz: RT @jeanalawrence: Before you build a community, you and church leadership
need to write down the goals for the community
christinaauch: RT @justinwise: @Anj1 @tijuanabecky Posts that have "Where" "When" "Would" or
"Should" garner % more interaction.
yarby: @jeanalawrence totally agree. Step 1 to developing strategy.
jeanalawrence: @tijuanabecky you've got to have something worth talking about
chsocm: Let the convo continue but get ready to weave topic 3 into it...
RevWeb: T?-FB, twitter, blogs, youTube, enewsletters all must be part of larger plan which shud be
part of strategic plan/mission/vision.
TrinityLimeRock: ...so we just do it. Bad, right?
jeanalawrence: @yarby yes, don't build it without clear goals and a strategy
penelopepiscopl: @TrinityLimeRock No, not bad.
11
12. chsocm: T3 What’s your best advice for a church/org just getting started w/FB?
AmyL_Bishop: What kind of privacy are we addressing? Personally I'm on the side of being open
and transparent for all to see.
JustinWise: @tijuanabecky The survey was for Facebook updates in general. No specification on
what type.
drothamel: T3: Have fun with it.
MeredithGould: RT @penelopepiscopl: T3 Watch what others do and learn from them.
rev_david: T3 - Find someone who is doing it well, and ask them to walk you through it.
prkanderson: You've got to find your community on FB first. Find your members, community
leaders....
penelopepiscopl: Agreed! RT @theologybird: @TrinityLimeRock Sometimes you just jump.
yarby: know your intentions, if you're just getting started.
MeredithGould: RT @yarby: know your intentions, if you're just getting started.
drothamel: @JustinWise @AmyL_Bishop even beyond transparent, just be genuine.
lutherangrldchz: RT @rev_david: T3 - Ask lots and lots of questions. Amen!
chsocm: And the fire hose is now open!
penelopepiscopl: Definitely. If it's not fun, you'll run out of steam and maybe not get much response
either. RT @drothamel: T3: Have fun with it.
prkanderson: T3 Listen first. See how people interact and engage and try to match it.
jeanalawrence: @TrinityLimeRock even a little church needs a plan - doesn't have to be very
detailed
paulsteinbrueck: @chsocm T3: Have clear goals & recruit a team/core committed to achieving
them.
TrinityLimeRock: You either feel it or you don't, IMHO. Don't study it to death
christinaauch: @chsocm T3 Have a person who wants to manage it; have images, icon & name;
promote it/ be visible; know how to use the key
JustinWise: We're all about to get schooled. @prkanderson is in the house!

13. MeredithGould: T3 Remember that you're engaged in *ministry* & that everything you do must
reflect Gospel values & Christ's love
yarby: be intentional w/ attracting your community, developng your approach & content if you're
just getting started.
AmyL_Bishop: RT @paulsteinbrueck: T3: Have clear goals & recruit a team/core committed to
achieving them.
theologybird: @christinaauch "know how to use the key" lol! Yes!
penelopepiscopl: Yeah, I tend to be in this camp. RT @TrinityLimeRock: You either feel it or you
dont, IMHO. Dont study it to death
MeredithGould: RT @drothamel: @christinaauch On the 8th, or thereabouts, God created the key.
prkanderson: T3. Pick the three things you want me to associate with your congregation. Focus on
those things.
JustinWise: T3: As important to having goals is knowing how to MEASURE them. I'm amazed at how
many churches aren't measuring results.
AmyL_Bishop: RT @prkanderson: T3. Pick the three things you want me to associate with your
congregation. Focus on those things.
jeanalawrence: Unless you have someone (volunteer or staff) that can lead your social media
efforts, don't do it.
MeredithGould: RT @TrinityLimeRock: try it. if it doesn't work, try something else.
TrinityLimeRock: stay on mission
prkanderson: @jeanalawrence But people in the church could be active on FB and you could help
connect them - a more informal presence
JustinWise: Boom. // RT @jeanalawrence: Unless you have someone (volunteer or staff) that can
lead your social media efforts, don’t do it.
christinaauch: @drothamel so now God loves comic sans AND created the key - creatio continua!
penelopepiscopl: @JustinWise I don't really get "measuring." I don't measure relationships.
MeredithGould: RT @prkanderson: @jeanalawrence But ppl in the church could be active on FB &
you could help connect them - more informal presence
AmyL_Bishop: And stay on brand. Your visual identity (logo, colors, etc) should be consistent across
the web. RT @TrinityLimeRock stay on mission

14. drothamel: @christinaauch After creating Comic Sans, God was forced to create the key. :-D
JustinWise: @penelopepiscopl No, but you measure the by-products of those relationships.
chsocm: We're coming up on the hour, friends.
lutherangrldchz: RT @drothamel: @christinaauch After creating Comic Sans, God was forced to
create the key. :-D// haha love it!!
JustinWise: @penelopepiscopl Do you track attendance in your church?
penelopepiscopl: I'm tweeting in Comic Sans next week if I can figure out how.
yarby: RT @justinwise: T3: As important to having goals is knowing how to MEASURE thm. Im
amazed @ how many churches arent measurin results
MeredithGould: RT @prkanderson: Measuring is definitely a fine line in ministry. Some stats are
helpful, some not.
TrinityLimeRock: Sure! And on the web too. BTW do you folks know that you all have high Klout
scores?
sethhinz: "@prkanderson: T3. Pick the three things you want me to associate with your
congregation. Focus on those things. " // nailed it.
jeanalawrence: @prkanderson of you are that "informal" presence, just know that you're the leader
:) people don't distinguish between in/formal
JustinWise: @prkanderson Money/donor dollars is only one very small metric we can track.
jeanalawrence: @christinaauch @drothamel God also loves Papyrus ;)
AmyL_Bishop: @lutherangrldchz @penelopepiscopl @JustinWise Churches using Facebook should
only do so if they have a strategic measurable plan.
JustinWise: @jeanalawrence @christinaauch @drothamel Jesus hates Papyrus:

AmyL_Bishop: @prkanderson @JustinWise @penelopepiscopl I think the most important
measurement is engagement!
tijuanabecky: We do? RT @trinitylimerock: Sure! And on the web too. BTW do you folks know that
you all have high Klout scores?
reckshow: I really need to remember the chat on Tuesdays! *putting it in the calendar*
theologybird: As long as we all remember that God's favorite font is Verdana...
jeanalawrence: @prkanderson @justinwise @penelopepiscopl there are some very good ways to
measure without monetizing - another topic?
14
15. prkanderson: @AmyL_Bishop @JustinWise @penelopepiscopl Is that the number of comments,
likes, RTs, etc.? Or one-to-one contact?
christinaauch: RT @penelopepiscopl: ...ministry is creating things that we can't even see. Gospel is
not measured, its lived.
tijuanabecky: I like that font! RT @theologybird: As long as we all remember that God's favorite font
is Verdana...
drothamel: @JustinWise that's awesome. Jesus and typography/design on one site? Love it.
theologybird: @tijuanabecky It's the best!
jeanalawrence: @JustinWise @christinaauch @drothamel LOL, my sentiments exactly
chsocm: And we're at the hour!
JustinWise: In case you're interested, here are ways to measure social media efforts in your church
--> http://jwi.se/mRq7HQ
drothamel: Wherever two or more are gathered in His name, He's there, too; even if they are all
behind a keyboard. ;-)
chsocm: We'll return to the metrics issue in another chat. For sure, it's an ongoing conversation
currently hot among social media experts.
jeanalawrence: Keep it simple. Assign a leader. Set measurable goals. Engage within your brand.
Change the world.
chsocm: Borrowing this prayer from @Virtual_Abbey, which just finished praying Compline:
mirgray: Some of discussion seems big church oriented. Might be good to include membership stat
in intros so we know each other's context.
chsocm: O God of Peace, may we fall asleep at length and peacefully wake up in your likeness for
your tender mercies sake. Amen.
paulsteinbrueck: Social media metrics & ROI would be a great chat topic!
prkanderson: RT @chsocm: O God of Peace, may we fall asleep at length and peacefully wake up in
your likeness for your tender mercies sake. Amen.
chsocm: The night heralds the dawn. Let us look expectantly to a new day, new joys, and new
possibilities.
jeanalawrence: @prkanderson Lots of ways to measure ROI for churches in social media. Let's chat
sometime.
chsocm: The divine Spirit dwells in us. Thanks be to God!
