The Non-commercial restriction in educational contentDerek Keats
The Non-commercial restriction in educational content causes more problems than it solves, particularly when a resource might be useful in the developing world where people may not wish to preclude benefit from enhancements made by people who wish to allow commercial use.
Open Access, Open Research, Open Data, Open Science, Open what? #gfm2013Christian Heise
Drawing from a quick overview of the recent discourses on Open Access, Open Research and Open Science we will challenge the all to often unspecific and generalized notion of "Openness". What does it mean to be open in contrast to being closed? On activist level the Open Knowledge Foundation proposed an 'Open Definition' which lists eleven criteria for openness. By discussing this definition we intend to outline some controversial issues in the current struggle for openness.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Fasten your seat belts! This will
be a rushed journey through a
lot of topics that have some
important concepts in common.
It is an introductionary talk:
⇒ just an appetiser
⇒ some simplifications
Sometimes techy
3. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM
Intro
Starting consensus
We need to agree that
Openness
Freedom
Transparency
are essential for a functional and
democratic scientific community and
for society in general.
4. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM

14. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM
Open Access
What is it?
Open Access is a publishing concept
with immediate, free and unrestricted
online access to scholarly publications.
15. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM
Open Access
Current closed-access scenario
1. Scientist is paid by the public to
do research
2. Scientist writes publication and
gives all the rights to publisher
3. Other scientists (if they can)
buy the publication with public
money
⇒ public pays twice and loses rights to the publisher
⇒ access to knowledge is limited to people who can pay for it
16. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM
Open Access
Publishing with Open Access
Publishing using an Open Access publisher
Author keeps rights (often a Creative Commons license is used)
Different business models: fee or non-fee-based used
Open access self-archiving
In addition to the traditional publication the article is archived
in central repository (e.g. arXiv, Nature Precedings)
⇒ Immediate access to the generated knowledge for everybody
17. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM
Open Access
Advantages
No financial hurdles for readers
Higher scientific impact
Author keeps the rights
Computational text analysis
possible (necessary due to
growing amount of literature)
18. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM
Open Science / Knowledge
Sometime I have the feeling people forget ...
that scientists are payed by the
public to generate knowledge for
the public.
that delayed/restricted access to
results/data/knowledge
hampers scientific progress and
maybe even costs lives.
that “negative” results are also
results.
the question if the “paper” is
really the optimal form of
communicating science in the
internet age.
19. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM
Open Science / Knowledge
Example 1: PloS One
An online-only Open Access journal
Pre-publication peer review but not
filtered by scientific relevance (= don’t
care about impact factor)
Users can rate and discuss articles
after publication
20. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM
Open Science / Knowledge
Example 2: Science Commons
Aim is “removing unnecessary legal
and technical barriers to scientific
collaboration and innovation.”

costs of transferring physical biological
materials (DNA, cell lines, model
animals etc.)
21. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM

25. Intro Open Source Creative Commons Open Access Open Science / Knowledge THM
Open Science / Knowledge
Yes, there are currently problems like
Fear of being scooped as blog/wiki
contributions are not official
publications
or not accepted by journals as already
published in blogs/wikis
No credit system for this kind of
scientific contribution
⇒ Problems are cultural not technical!
⇒ Luckily there are grass root projects
where people start to play around with
the new concepts.
