Don't confine your content to a single output! Using markdown to write documents, coupled with the open-source pandoc tool, you can easily create a myriad of output format First, we'll learn about markdown syntax, and its different flavors. Then, we'll see how to use pandoc to generate HTML pages, eBooks, PDF documents, and even Word files.
The SWF file format is available as an open specification to create products and technology that implement the specification. SWF 9 introduced the ActionScript™ 3.0 language and virtual machine. The SWF 10 specification expands text capabilities with support for bidirectional text and complex scripts with the new DefineFont4 tag. The DefineBitsJPEG4 tag allows embedding JPEG images that have an alpha channel for opacity and also a smoothing filter. SWF 10 also adds support for the free and open-source Speex voice codec and for higher frequencies in the existing Nellymoser codec.

Are you still on PHP 5.6-which will be EOL'd at the end of this year?! PHP 7 was released at the very end of 2015 and brought with it long awaited features to the PHP programming language while striving to keep backwards-compatibility. In this talk, I'll cover the new features including Static Type Hints, new operators, array de-referencing that you can use in your own Drupal modules to make your life easier. I'll also introduce a tool to assess how ready an existing PHP 5 codebase is to migrate to PHP 7.
Symfony console: build awesome command line scripts with easeOscar Merida
Utility scripts to kick off scheduled jobs and perform routing maintenance tasks are integral parts of any web application. You can also use them to easily integrate with your ticketing system, post to slack, or automate any number of tedious daily tasks. However, dealing with command line switches and options, getting user input, and providing meaningful output can be tedious and tricky to do yourself. In this talk, I'll introduce Symfony's console component which can handle a lot of boilerplate code for you so you can focus on the task at hand. After this talk, you'll know how to structure a basic command line app, get user input, and even package it up as a standalone phar file for others to use.
Building with Virtual Development EnvironmentsOscar Merida
Struggling with getting Apache, MySQL, PHP and everything else you need to start working on your next project? In this talk, we'll look at how to use Vagrant to setup a reusable development environment for Drupal. Vagrant automates setting it up so you can focus on getting work done, share identical environments with colleagues, and precisely match your local and production environments.
Staying Sane with Drupal (A Develper's Survival Guide)Oscar Merida
Drupal is a powerful content management framework and among the most succesful PHP projects out there. Working with Drupal's modules and theme layer means that for any problem there's more than one way to that that. Picking a good solution, or dealing with the choices of previous developers will make you pull your hair out. I'll look at what you can do to make working with Drupal, shall we say, enjoyable? We'll look at how to evaluate contributed modules, what modules should be in all your installations, examine coding conventions in Drupal, and talk about development best practices for Drupal sites.

In this talk, we'll look at the tools and modules available for migrating content into Drupal. I'll describe the workflow I've used to prepare, transform, and import thousands of records into Drupal. I'll share strategies for cleaning up and parsing data and doing it in a reliable, repeatable manner. You'll learn how to efficiently use PHP, Feeds, and Feeds XPath Parser modules to handle almost any data source thrown your way.
Do you have a mess of static HTML pages? Are you maintaining piecemeal legacy applications from the days before you had a shiny CMS? In this session we'll look at migration approaches for bringing that content into Drupal. We'll share what we've learned migrating a decade's worth of pages, content across a dozen database, and audio and video content - almost 15k nodes at last count - into Drupal 7.
This session will explore:
<ul>
<li>Deciding between manual and automated approaches to moving content
<li>Planning and scheduling large migrations to maintain your sanity
<li>What workflows and review steps are needed to ensure success
<li>Using the Migrate and other contributed modules to move content into Drupal.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.
