The document discusses how to create a thriving online community for a business. It notes that most online communities fail because they are not started for the right reasons like extreme loyalty and new sources of revenue. It recommends integrating any online community with a company's products, promotions, and prices. The key is to think like an amateur by finding a strong interest or passion, using simple technology, starting small, and growing over time by writing about the community and starting interesting discussions to build relationships.
Listen in for a quick "Tips in 20" webinar to learn how to build a strategic framework that will allow your online community to evolve and achieve ongoing success.

Brent Leary and I had the opportunity to present the first ever session on Social Customer Relationship Management (Social CRM) at Blog World Expo 2010 in Las Vegas. The session is not about social media but instead looks at business applications of customer strategy and the evolution of CRM to Social CRM.
This document discusses connecting the global population to the internet and mobile networks in a sustainable way. It notes that while mobile subscriptions and internet users have grown significantly, around 2 billion people still lack mobile phones and 5 billion lack internet access. Closing this digital gap will require low-cost wireless infrastructure and devices, content in local languages, and energy efficiency from devices to data centers. As technologists, we are responsible for overcoming technical barriers to universal connectivity while ensuring innovation, access, and environmental sustainability.

Online communities have moved to the top
of the strategic marketing and customer
care agenda at many organizations. A study
conducted by Demand Metric “Online
Communities: Driving Customer Engagement
& Influencing Revenue” (September 2014)
revealed that building an online community is a
top priority. Two-thirds of companies surveyed
have online communities and among those that
don’t there is a trend to consider building one
in the future. Additionally, among those who
have online communities, the reported benefits
include a better understanding of customer/
prospect needs, a more loyal customer base,
better customer perception of the brand, and
improved customer support quality. All of
these strategic initiatives are powered by digital
engagement using online communities. But
despite the strategic focus, turning these “top
priority” initiatives into functional and successful
business activities is unfamiliar territory for many
organizations.
One major stumbling block? Turning the
sometimes fuzzy and hard-to-grasp-and-explain
benefits of an online community into a business
case; a proposal which clearly demonstrates the
value of the community to the organization’s
bottom line.
Marketing and customer care leaders are often
the first to recognize the need for an online
community, and may take the lead on creating
one. But if the project begins by acquiring a
software platform prior to developing a business
case, the success of the online community
is already in jeopardy. The time, effort and
cost required to retrofit or replace a software
platform which did not fulfill the organization’s
real business needs -- or deliver the necessary
bottom-line results -- has killed many an online
community initiative. Building a business case
for your online community is essential to its
long-term success. This short but detailed report
covers the crucial steps to building a persuasive
business case -- the roadmap for building a
successful online community.
This report draws on Leader Network’s many
years of online community strategy, best
practice and implementation experience, and
in-depth interviews with eight successful online
community leaders with real-world examples
to back up their suggestions and advice.
This document discusses strategies for building and managing online communities. It emphasizes that technologies don't change companies, people do, and that community engagement and strategy are key. It provides principles for collaboration like having clear goals linked to business purpose and experimenting to get feedback. It also discusses measuring engagement and business results to understand the impact of community efforts. The overall message is that successful communities meet business and member needs through strategic facilitation of shared interests and experiences.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Unlocking Productivity: Leveraging the Potential of Copilot in Microsoft 365, a presentation by Christoforos Vlachos, Senior Solutions Manager – Modern Workplace, Uni Systems
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.
