Sustainability, Circularity, Circular Economy needto be on top on any leaders agenda.
We Agilists have been always used with navigating the complexity, acting empirically and create contexts where collective intelligence can make the difference in finding new pathways and approaches.
We think that our worldwide community has a very high potential for addressing the immense complexity behind issues of environmental sustainability and circularity and could help organizations in finding the best sustainable solutions for leaving a better world for those who will come after us.
That said, we need to step in. Now.

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.

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.

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

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

33. According to medical studies that evaluate a person’s “body burden” (the level of contamination of tissues, organs, urine and blood) THE TYPICAL HUMAN ( THAT MEANS YOU ) has an average of 86 industrial compounds , pollutants and other chemicals in their bodies. The typical person referred to does not mean people who work with chemicals or live near manufacturing facilities, but the average person in general. These contaminates include PCBs, dioxin, furans, metals, phthalates and VOCs . Of a total 167 chemicals found across a test group, 76 cause cancer in humans or animals, 94 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 79 cause birth defects or abnormal development . Further, the dangers of exposure to these chemicals in combination has never been studied. Toxins commonly found in adhesives, preservatives, paints and many building products are significant contributors to these contaminates. To maintain good indoor air quality and eliminate the transmission of toxins through air and water, you should evaluate products that are: TOXICITY - from endocrine disruption to erectile dysfunction

Editor's Notes
NOW, first to set a baseline on what we’re talking about here…let’s do a little GB 101! I do this as a question to the audience and have them answer…do whatever you are comfortable with! So what is the point of building? Whether it’s a wood frame house in new england, an igloo or a hi rise in asia, why do we build? Intent here is to convey that the basics of building (housing) is to provide shelter comfort and aesthetics, and what makes it GREEN is meeting the basic needs WITHOUT unintended consequences…(pollution, sickness, water depletion, etc)
Buildings are secondary. Planning and infrastructure is primary. [Figure-Ground image highlighting area outside of building]
Transparency is really starting to take off with when it comes to chemical exposures because serious health concerns are rising, and they are increasingly linked to chemicals called endocrine disruptors that mimic hormones in the body. These chemicals are not well understood. The science is only emerging, and at every step that science is being contested as strongly and with the same tactics as climate change data that lead to the recent outcome in Copenhagen. Think Lead paint in the 40’s, or cigarettes in the 60s or Asbestos in the 70s. A major public health issue of our generation will be endocrine disrupting chemicals. You can see it coming.
Time Magazine called it one of the Top 10 Ideas That Are Changing The World.
Here’s a You Tube channel from a very small, very poor community group in Port Arthur, Texas that puts up videos of daily life living next to the heavy industry in their town.
This is a national US coalition of non-profit groups that is monitoring our chemical body burdens – a portal to the latest science from around the world.
Of course the ripples are much broader and impactful (you want nonvinyl backing, use agricultural waste…but that means herbicides and pesticides are now your problem)
What are the infrastructure opportunities? Passive Strategies: Solar Access [building setback image and solar cone]
What are the infrastructure opportunities? Passive Strategies: Shade [shared shade in hot climates]
Ok, so if we want to DO IT…what makes the difference?
