The document discusses avoiding the "seven deadly sins" of IBM Connections implementation and adoption. It details sins for both users and administrators, including wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony. For users, it recommends focusing on business value rather than metrics, maintaining appropriate social behavior, and daily engagement. For administrators, it suggests addressing errors, taking advice from others, change management practices, and evangelizing social use internally. It concludes with a "prayer of salvation" acknowledging the importance of social business and trusting users.
Facebook Employer Espionage (a pixie game) interactive slides. By Ah’livia.
Examines the role Facebook plays in hiring practices. The viewer participates in a interactive game in which they are the boss and must hire employees after viewing their Facebook content.
1st type of interactive game I've seen on this site.
Keynote delivered by Craig Smith at Agile Encore in Auckland, New Zealand in November 2012. Agile adoption is now becoming more mainstream and, as a community, we are struggling to address the issue of how to take experienced Agile practitioners to the next level, while still supporting those who are beginning their journey. With the "agile" word getting so overloaded, the challenge is to continually innovate without assigning labels or losing focus on our prime objective - to deliver!

7 Deadly Sins of Agile Software Test AutomationCraig Smith
Talk delivered by Craig Smith at Agile 2013 in Nashville, USA on 8 August 2013.
Automated software testing is a key enabler for teams wanting to build high quality software that can be progressively enhanced and continuously released. To ensure development practices are sustainable, automated testing must be treated as a first-class citizen and not all approaches are created equal. Some approaches can accumulate technical debt, cause duplication of effort and even team dysfunctions.
The seven deadly sins of automated software testing are a set of common anti-patterns that have been found to erode the value of automated testing resulting in long term maintenance issues and ultimately affecting the ability of development teams to respond to change and continuously deliver.
Taking the classic seven sins (Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Rage, Pride, Greed) as they might be applied to test automation we will discuss how to identify each automated sin and more importantly provide guidance on recommended solutions and how to avoid them in the first place.
Why the social web is here to stay (and what to do about it)Mike Ellis
The social web (was "Web2.0"...) calls to human experience and emotion in a way which transcends the hype often associated with it. While the phrase "Web2.0" does a good job of associating certain services and approaches together, it also has a down-side, suggesting that any day now, a "Web3.0" will be along to replace this transient, fickle technology with something new.
This talk argues that the "social web" has a momentum which should be taken seriously -- more seriously than "just mere hype", particularly by content-rich organisations such as those involved with cultural content. It also examines some of the issues -- particularly around the perceived challenges to authority and "value" of cultural institutions and assets -- and asks how these can be overcome.

In the new digital society that we are building, enterprises are identified not only by their products, but also, and perhaps more importantly, by the image that consumers frame of them with their online comments and opinions. A company whose consciousness cannot be raised by its own customers is in peril of losing everything.
Co-Create: Creating Better Together - DevCamp Brazil 2018Denise Jacobs
Despite the prevalent mythology of the lone creative genius, many of the most innovative contributions spring from the creative chemistry of a group and the blending of everyone’s ideas and concepts. How can we best leverage this collective wisdom to generate creative synergy and co-create? Let’s look at the process of recognizing and removing our personal creative blocks, connecting and communicating with others, combining ideas using play, and constructing a collaborative environment to discover effective methods for tapping into a group’s creative brilliance. Through these steps, you’ll learn to capitalize on the super-linearity of creativity to embrace and leverage diversity to create better together.

These are the slides from a presentation given to the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Oil Chemists' Society. It was the third and last presentation in a Forum on Emerging Technologies.
I have made an attempt to capture my talk by adding notes to explain what I was getting at with the graphics. I believe I've been more successful on some slides than I have been on others. Some I have yet to annotate. For some reason this presentation would not upload here when I attempted to share it shortly after I gave it and I was laboring under the mistaken notion it was too large. I have no idea what actually happened and it is my fault it's taken me so long to provide it.
Ten lessons I painfully learnt while moving from software developer to entrep...Wojciech Seliga
My presentation from Devoxx Poland 2016 conference - the newest, slightly revised version.
For many years I was a software developer. I would concentrate on the code, software projects and the interactions with my closes team and the users. I was sure that Agile solves all world’s problems. I would laugh over Scott Adam’s Dilbert comics with his Point Hair Boss. Life was simple, life was good. Now for 8+ years I have been running a software company, not a small one anymore. I became myself a full-time boss who only codes sometimes at home or during hackathons.
This session is about sharing with you those critical lessons which I painfully learnt when trying to grow into this new role - transitioning from being a software engineer into being an entrepreneur and top manager. Wheres not all of the lessons may or will (if you dream about your own startup) apply to your case, being aware of them may save you tons of time, energy, money or even help you to avoid the total disaster - burying your own company or dreams. And after all, sharing war stories from the past is fun … when these stories are the past.

Engineer Whispering - the secrets of working with technologists
When a team really comes together, the whole truly outweighs the sum of its parts, producing a synergy that unquestionably leads to innovation and inspiration. And while true that individuals can and do build great products, it’s only well-tuned teams that are capable of building sustainable excellence.
Software-based products present an interesting challenge to the team dynamic - collaborating and connecting with technical folks can be challenging and downright frustrating; one is from Mars and the other is from Venus. Thankfully there are many people who have successfully navigated these treacherous waters. This talk will present the distilled wisdom, anecdotes and suggestions from hundreds of industry leaders, in order to illustrate the good, the bad and the ugly of team-oriented software product development. The audience will come away with great ideas and helpful tips as to how to more effectively communicate with and relate to the more technical elements of their teams.
This presentation looks at "web2" in the context of human experience, suggesting that the social web as extension of "real life" means that it transcends the marketing-biased, "numbered web" hype that has typically surrounded it.
The slides focus particularly on the use of "social web" tools in the enterprise.
I will present these slides at Online Information 4th December 2008. See http://www.online-information.co.uk/online08/seminar_description_ims.html?presentation_id=442 for more information

10 bezcennych lekcji dla software developera stającego się szefem firmyWojciech Seliga
[Originally Polish lecture with English slides - with a few exceptions]
Przez wiele lat byłem software developerem. Koncentrowałem się na kodzie, projektach software'owych oraz interakcjach w moim zespole i z klientami. Byłem pewny, że Agile rozwiązuje wszystkie problemy tego świata. Śmiałem się z komiksów Scotta Adamsa i stworzonej przez niego karykatury szefa (PHB). Życie było proste i piękne...
Teraz od ponad 8 lat prowadzę firmę software'ową, którą przy blisko 90 osobach trudno już nazwać maleństwem. Sam stałem się "szefem" na pełen etat.
Podczas prezentacji podzielę się z Wami różnymi doświadczeniami oraz naukami (nieraz bolesnymi) jakie wyniosłem w ostatnich latach podczas mojej stopniowej przemiany z developera/inżyniera w przedsiębiorcę i szefa firmy. O ile zapewne nie wszystkie sytuacje i wnioski mają lub mogą mieć (o ile marzysz o własnym startupie czy zespole) zastosowanie w Twoim życiu, same sobie ich uświadomienie może oszczędzić Ci w przyszłości straty mnóstwa czasu, energii i pieniędzy oraz uniknąć przykrych rozczarowań.
Businesses must engage their employees and their customers to build loyalty, deepen relationships and gain access to insights that inspire future actions and drive profits, but how? How do you rise above the noise to deliver a compelling and differentiated customer experience that will help you not only survive, but thrive. This is not just about building great products or providing great customer support, but how to transform your business to earn the trust needed to fully serve your market - internally and externally
Visual analysis of a post by Om Malik - http://gigaom.com/2011/02/10/corporate-dna/
The three main elements can be distilled down to: person to person, which frames and gain permission to talk about business to business, and a call to action at the end. Wouldn't you want to elicit the same kind of visceral response when customers read your content as you get from his post?

'This Reviewer's Guide provides a brief summary of the applications that are included in IBM Connections 4.5. It is important to note that these applications can be used within an organization as needed—all together or as individual applications. Capitalizing on a flexible and modular architecture, organizations may start with a single application and add other applications when they choose. As in previous releases of IBM Connections, applications can be installed easily and naturally fit into the user experience, so it is easy to expand as needed.'

Social Business: The Irresistible Force To Overcome Immovable ObjectionsStuart McIntyre
Presented at Social Connections VI in Prague, June 17th 2014, this is the latest version of my deck on overcoming users' objections to the use of Social Business solutions (aka collaboration systems, or Enterprise Social Networks). Enjoy!
"I'm too busy" "My work is confidential" "I'm never in the office" "My position depends on me being the only source of my knowledge" ...
We've all heard objections like these - reasons why key individuals cannot spare the time to share knowledge or to collaborate with others. Whatever the role, be it as executives, consultants, sales people or any other part of your organization, for social business to truly revolutionize your organization's culture and productivity, these objections must be overcome. In this session, you'll hear about driving adoption in organizations around the world. Find out how to make the benefits of social business irresistible for all your staff, no matter how immovable they might appear!

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.

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.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

‘Quit counting fans, followers and blog subscribers like
bottle caps.Think, instead, about what you’re hoping to
achieve with and through the community that actually
cares about what you’re doing.’
Amber Naslund, brasstackthinking.com
It’s not about the followers or hit counts!
Focus on business outcomes
Reward for exceptional behaviour

11. Sloth
Try to be social every day
Commit yourself to updating or at least
checking your stream daily
If you break the sequence, get back in and
engaged ASAP

12. Pride
‘If content is king, then conversion is queen.’
John Munsell, CEO of Bizzuka
Easy to fall into the ASW trap!
It’s about the value of the network and the
content, not about ones own value
Focus on how to add value to others
contributions and how to build others’
career and profile

13. Lust
‘Don’t say anything online that you wouldn’t
want plastered on a billboard with your face on
it.’
Erin Bury, Community Manager at Sprouter, erinbury.com
Keep it business-appropriate
Easy to be misunderstood
Watch out for cultural differences

14. Envy
Easy for users to look at Facebook/Twitter/
Flickr/Instagram and say they want the great
new thing...
To a great extent that is fair, but Connections
is necessarily different
What is essential in public social web is
not always desirable inside the firewall
Social networks throw a lot of paint at
the wall, only some of it sticks

15. Gluttony
‘Focus on how to be social, not on how to do social.’
Jay Baer, Convince & Convert
You want users to be engaged...
But, Connections shouldn’t become a distraction
Focus on positive business outcomes and value
derived
Adoption is important, but 100% adoption with
zero business value is route to failure

17. Wrath
Users won’t always get it...
More importantly, the business and portfolio
teams probably won’t get it first time...
That is not their fault
Explain, explain again... Train... Encourage...

18. Greed
You do not necessarily need that 16-node
16-core 32GB cluster for the PoC!
Tuning and design more important than
resources
But you need to be ready to scale later

19. Sloth
Check those logs
Drill down into the errors
Turn on debug if/when necessary
Do not give in!

20. Pride
Take pride in your design and configuration
But...
Take advice from others
And be ready to change
Every version, check your design, assumptions
and standards
Do not make changes to defaults or
customisations unless you can truly justify them

21. Lust
‘Lack of self-control’
Change management is a very necessary evil
You must have a test/demo system, but my
preference is always three...
Dev (change is easy but documented)
Pre-prod (change managed, kept close to
identical to production, all changes tested here)
Image: http://wallpaperstock.net/fantasy-girl---seven-deadly-sins_wallpapers_15054_1920x1200_1.html
22. Envy
‘Insatiable desire for material goods’
Lots of customisations and management
products out there
Very few management tools really work well
with Connections or not holistic in nature
Customisations are starting to mature - Just
Nudge widgets, Kudos etc

23. Gluttony
Hypocrisy
You must live the social life too
Exhibit social evangelism and skills to the rest of the
business
‘Walk the walk’
But, don’t let Connections become IT-dominated, use
private communities particularly in the early days
“Build it, and they will come” only works in the
movies. Social is a “build it, nurture it, engage them, and
they may come and stay.”

24. ‘Prayer of salvation’
We acknowledge that Social Business is the next phase of collaboration
technology; that Connections gives users new ways of sharing that were not
possible in traditional team collaboration platforms; that every user deserves
the chance of use Social technology in their work.
We confess the sin of considering technology as the only aspect of deploying
Social Business.
We admit we are ready to trust users to behave sensibly and with common
sense.
We ask IBM to hurry up and give us Connections 4 as it is sure to rock!

25. Remember...
But in truth, social software
users do and the business
problems the tools address.
