Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

2. What is a blog?
A blog (sometimes referred to as a weblog)
is a Web publishing tool that allows authors
to quickly and easily self-publish text,
art work, links to other blogs or Web sites,
and a whole array of other content.
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
3. How are blogs created?
Blogs are set-up like traditional Web sites, with
navigation link, and other standard Web site features.
Blogs have one standard characteristic: the posting. Blog
postings are text entries, similar to a diary or journal.
Postings include the date and may include photos, links, or
other digital media. Postings allow for comments by
people other than the author.
Postings are often short and frequently updated. They
appear in reverse chronological order and can include
archived entries.
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
5. Ease of Use
Minimum technical knowledge
Quickly and easily created and maintained
Students will find them convenient and accessible via home or
library computers
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
6. Four Main Purposes...
Classroom Management
Class blogs can ser ve as a portal to foster a community of learners. As they are easy to
create and update efficiently, they can be used to inform students of class requirements, post
handouts, notices, and homework assignments, or act as a question and answer board.
Collaboration
Blogs provide a space where teachers and students can work to further develop writing or
other skills with the advantage of an instant audience. Teachers can offer instructional tips,
and students can practice and benefit from peer review. They also make online mentoring
possible. For example, a class of older students can help a class of younger students develop
more confidence in their writing skills. Students can also participate in cooperative learning
activities that require them to relay research findings, ideas, or suggestions.
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
7. ....Four Main Purposes
Discussions
A class blog opens the opportunity for students to discuss topics outside of the classroom.
With a blog, every person has an equal opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions.
Students have time to be reactive to one another and reflective. Teachers can also bring
together a group of knowledgeable individuals for a given unit of study for students to
net work and conference with on a blog.
Student Portfolios (Moodle)
Blogs present, organize, and protect student work as digital portfolios. As older entries are
archived, developing skills and progress may be analyzed more conveniently. Additionally, as
students realize their efforts will be published, they are typically more motivated to produce
better writing. Teachers and peers may conference with a student individually on a
developing work, and expert or peer mentoring advice can be easily kept for future
reference.
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
8. Why Blog?
Highly motivating to students, especially those
who other wise might not become participants in
classrooms.
Excellent opportunities for students to read and
write.
Effective forums for collaboration and discussion.
Powerful tools to enable scaffold learning or
mentoring to occur.
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
10. Preparing Students for Blogging
Determine that all students' AUPs are in place and up to date.
Inform parents of procedures and secure parental permission.
Gain administrative support.
Teach students safe, acceptable, and sensible behavior as online
authors and readers.
Review policies and guidelines pertaining to student access.
Teach the non-posting rules of no complete names, e-mail
accounts, or references to reveal location.
Set clear expectations regarding tone, respect, and
consequences.

39. Ideas?
World language teachers could record and publish daily practice
lessons that students could listen to at home
Social studies teachers could have their students do oral
histories or inter views or reenactments of historical events
Science teachers could have students narrate labs or
dissections or experiments to record their processes.
Music teachers could record weekly recitals or special events as
podcasts.
All teachers could record important parts of what they do in
the classroom that can then be archived to the class Weblog
and used by students who may have missed the class or just
want a refresher on what happened
