Inclusive digital practice in post-lockdown society
Becki Morris & Sarah Simcoe, Disability Collaborative Network and EMBED
As we navigate out of crisis during unprecedented times, the pandemic has highlighted that the time is right to reflect on the key role that digital is playing in reaching diverse communities as we create the ‘new normal’. While the heritage sector has traditionally taken a piecemeal approach to delivering digital services, these challenging times have necessitated the sector need for embracing digital inclusive practice. This ensures the continued delivery of services, attracts new audiences, including those who may have previously faced barriers to the physical environment and includes those who are vulnerable to COVID-19 complications.
The pandemic has provided the sector with a unique opportunity to build positive intersectional inclusion through digital practices. At the same time, the Black Lives Matter movement has highlighted the issue of colonisation and the importance of greater access to related collections. During this presentation, DCN and EMBED, a cross-sector partnership, will share experiences and key learnings from the lockdown period, what we have done to support the sector and how digital inclusion is core to the sector in creating better, more resilient service, support and participation for audiences and the workforce.
Is your company the next big thing in tech? Does your startup have the potential to transform the way we live, work and interact? Do you have an idea that can change the world?

I recently attended SXSW In Austin and have put together the attached recap to share with you. There was a lot to take away and a lot written about SXSW – it was my 7th year so I’ve seen it grow from a digitally-focused conference to a full-fledged festival where tech innovation can often take a backseat to marketers and big brands spending big money to get noticed. Through it all, it’s still a great place to learn, meet industry people and connect or reconnect with professional contacts.
Key takeaways include:
• Top trends
• Key learnings
• Trending topics
• Social media trends
• What’s on our radar
• Beauty & fashion brands at SXSW

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

2. What is Big Data Week all about?
We’re a festival of big ideas about data.
Big Data Week is one of the most unique global platforms of interconnected community events
focusing on the social, political, technological and commercial impacts of Big Data. It brings together
a global community of data scientists, data technologies, data visualisers and data businesses
spanning six major commercial, financial, social and technological sectors.
• Media and Entertainment • Retail and FMCG
• Health and Science • Public and Government
• Financial Sector • Social and Personal
The festival connects a number of global cities through locally hosted meetups, events, networking
functions, data visualisation demo’s, debates, discussion and hackathons. Events are designed to
provide a platform to educate, inform and inspire – organised by people who are passionate and
knowledgeable about data.
We’re a self organising community where anyone is able to host and create an event during the
festival; making the our platform completely open and community driven
We live at bigdataweek.com
3. What did we do in 2012?
We started something that’s going to be BIG.
Big Data Week is one year old, but we have been successful in bringing together a global community
of entrepreneurs, data professionals and data driven organisations.
In 2012 we were hosted in 9 major cities; Helsinki, Canberra, Berlin, Melbourne, Chicago, London, New
York and San Francisco. We were successful in tapping into the enthusiasm of key influencers and
motivated individuals in the big data communities; creating a dynamic energy for the community to
‘self-organise’ and curate over 50 events and meetups; energising and bringing together over 2000
people across the festival.
Big Data Week also created unique opportunities for our partners to connect with key decision
makers in technology, business, science and media.
And we are doing it all again in 2013, but BIGGER.
