Building Intelligent Websites with DrupalTom McCracken
The next generation of websites will do much more than manage content, they will integrate intelligence that will help you work smarter.
Ever wonder what content resonates best with your visitors, if social media or search engine marketing is the most effective, if your new site design is really making an impact? Maybe you are trying to find the answer to the ultimate web question, what is my ROI?
Website intelligence is the key to getting the answers you seek. Next generation websites will integrate data from across the web including analytics, social media and insightful cloud services. They will enable a whole new level of understanding of who is on your website and what they are doing – right down to the individual.
More importantly they will help you understand what of your efforts are producing results and which are not.
When will this website of the future be here? Then answer is now.
Presentation from January 29, 2013. It covers Google Analytics basics, including how it actually works. Then it turns into a giant rant about all the ways in which Analytics data is inaccurate. Finally, we look at how powerful the tool really is with a advanced Analytics trick...
You’ve used Google Analytics for years, but how deep have you searched into its hidden, labyrinthian corners? In this advanced workshop, you’ll get introduced to the reports, dimensions, segments, and other features you never knew could be so valuable, including:
Using service provider names to identify your audience
Using site search terms to inform your content strategy
Creating meaningful dashboards and automating your emailed reports
Best practices for filtering, campaigns, and event tracking
This workshop will dive into the inner depths of this analytics tool while staying focused on what really matters to your key stakeholders.
We’ll be using case studies of Google Analytics implementations from real nonprofit websites, campaigns, and mobile apps to illustrate all these hidden secrets. You will walk out of this session with a list of immediate next steps for enhancing your Google Analytics implementation, a wealth of knowledge about how you can push this tool to help you better measure your organization’s digital goals, and new techniques for reporting website data to your stakeholders.

Learn how to make your website get more targeted traffic, more leads and ultimately more sales. What opportunities are you missing out on? What are some things you can do immediately and quickly to gain more traffic?
1) SEO is about revenues, not rankings, and requires more than just a website to succeed on search engines.
2) Developing quality content that people actively search for can help attract links and traffic from search engines and social media.
3) Building loyal social media followers and participating in online communities can help build links, but manipulation will be detected by search engines.
Reciprocal linking was an effective search engine optimization (SEO) strategy but recent Google updates have diminished its effectiveness at ranking websites. While reciprocal linking may not be as powerful for rankings alone, it can still be a useful strategy for driving relevant traffic to a website if done carefully by only exchanging links with high-quality sites that provide value to visitors. Webmasters should focus on outcomes like traffic and user experience over rankings and consider multiple factors of a site before agreeing to a reciprocal link.
Event Streams is a 10-person video production company in Atlanta that specializes in corporate video. They hope to gain more social media followers and differentiate themselves from competitors. The summary analyzes Event Streams' social media presence, including their Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and blog usage. It also does a digital audit of competitors and finds Event Streams compares well but could improve their search engine optimization and better integrate their social media. The conclusion recommends Event Streams optimize their SEO further and use social media more to reach more clients.
Reciprocal linking may no longer be an effective strategy on its own for ranking highly in search engines due to Google getting smarter, but it can still drive relevant traffic when done correctly by exchanging links only with sites that provide value to visitors. The key is to ensure links are easy to find, placed prominently on relevant pages, and point to high quality content so visitors are not disappointed by poor recommendations that hurt credibility. Reciprocal linking should be one part of an overall strategy, not the only tactic used.

Internet World: Audience Engagement - Tim GriceBranded3
Ecommerce SEO has predominantly been about getting as many products as possible indexed and visible within search engines. In order to perform organically Ecommerce businesses need to think more like publishers, deciding on the best strategies to engage their audience and ensuring they have answers to questions during the consideration process.
Reciprocal linking may no longer be an effective strategy on its own for ranking highly in search engines due to Google getting smarter, but it can still drive relevant traffic when done correctly by exchanging links only with sites that provide value to visitors.

Get Discovered: Optimizing Tools to Enhance Your Web PresenceFresh Arts
Spacetaker Artist Resource Center Workshop on Optimizing Tools to Enhance Your Web Presents for artists and arts organizations led by Caitlin Kaluza of Schipul, The Web Marketing Company. July 20, 2011
The document discusses strategies for utilizing social channels to leverage SEO links. It recommends deciding on relevant content to publish based on current activities, market research, and brainstorming. Content should then be promoted through outreach and social media. Any social SEO efforts should be integrated with the company's overall marketing strategy and create value for users, rather than just focusing on followers. Competitor analysis on highly shared content may provide better insights than their raw links. The document also provides examples of how specific companies, like Vue Cinemas, have successfully implemented social SEO strategies.
Facebook Insights provides some good analytics but there are also some very useful 3rd party Facebook analytics tools that go beyond Facebook Insights. There are also some tools that provide analytics as part of a management platform which overall has better functionality than using Facebook directly.
This is a summary of a detailed guide we have written which gives an independent review of 9 of these tools.

Force 2015 : Communicating with a crowd/Lessons from citizen sciencechrislintott
Citizen science projects like Galaxy Zoo and SpaceWarps have provided valuable scientific contributions by harnessing the skills of volunteers to analyze large datasets. Effective communication is key to maintaining volunteer participation and maximizing contributions. Studies show most effort and information comes from a small fraction of experienced volunteers, so projects aim to expand the skills of participants over time through training materials. Funding from organizations like Google, NASA and the National Science Foundation has been crucial to developing new citizen science initiatives.

Walls and Windows for Highly Insulated Buildings in the Pacific NorthwestRDH Building Science
Design objectives, Durability considerations and the Pros & Cons for using alternate highly insulated wall assemblies in the West Pacific Northwest. These include passive design strategies that require airtight and highly insulated walls with minimal thermal bridging to allow for energy efficiency, hygiene (mold/condensation) and thermal comfort. This is in response to a growing desire to apply passive house wall assemblies and windows for houses to taller and more exposed buildings including MURBs.
Also, the basic comparison of North American, European and Passivhaus Window rating standards and window selection guidelines. As windows from Europe are rated differently than in North America, passive house guidance from Germany uses European Standards and climate recommendations. The high performance windows provide high interior surface temperatures for thermal comfort and prevent condensation or surface mold growth. This forms an integral part of the strategy to achieve whole building energy targets (ie 4.75 kBtu/sf/y).
Why developing research software is like a startup (and why this matters)Neil Chue Hong
When we think about the software used in research and science, we might think of the commercial packages with thousands of users, or the millions of lines of code that support experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider, or indeed the millions of scripts written every day by researchers across the world to undertake simple tasks. What is clear is that modern research relies on software: a recent survey of UK researchers conducted by the Software Sustainability Institute reported that 92% of researchers used software, and 69% could not conduct their work without it. Millions of dollars are invested each year in supporting a quasi-industry of software production, with the equivalent of the full-spectrum from large multinationals and tiny cottage industries, but little is known about whether this is efficient or indeed appropriate. This talk will examine the similarities between the development of software in the research environment and the lifecycle of technology startup companies. It will also consider the driving factors behind adoption of software and the impact of software sustainability on the ability to conduct research.
NSF SI2 program discussion at 2014 SI2 PI meetingDaniel S. Katz
This document discusses software as infrastructure for science and engineering research. It outlines how software is essential to many areas of science, with about half of recent science papers involving software-intensive projects. It also discusses how "long-tail" scientists need advanced infrastructure to handle large data and simulations. The document notes challenges around larger teams, more data and complex systems, and changing hardware and software. It positions software as a critical part of cyberinfrastructure and outlines NSF programs like SI2 and CDS&E that support development of sustainable scientific software infrastructure.
The Archdiocesan Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants & Itinerant People (ACMI) was commissioned in 1998 by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Singapore. ACMI aims to respond to the pastoral needs of migrants and itinerants in Singapore. For over 15 years, ACMI has helped over 3,500 migrants with issues, fed nearly 140,000 migrants, and trained 5,000 migrants. ACMI's main programs include casework and counseling, skills training, providing food rations, advocacy, and support groups. The document provides statistics and details on ACMI's programs and who they serve.

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:

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.
