The Benefits Of Doing Things DifferentlyMike Ellis
During October and November 2009, Mike Ellis (Eduserv) and Dan Zambonini (Box UK) built a museum website in 12 hours from beginning to end, under the title "Museum In A Day".
These slides accompany a workshop we delivered at DISH 2009 with the same title (see http://www.dish2009.nl/node/89)
The workshop uses the Museum In A Day project as a means to frame the wider conversation, and looks at where online museums are in terms of audience, traffic and reach, asking:
- How can we do things differently?
- How can we do more with less?
- How can we be where our audiences are?

How does someone end up making a career of creating exhibits? Until recently, the paths for most people entering the museum exhibition field have been many and varied – and I’m no exception. My hope with this discussion is to shed some light on the odd impact various interests and events from childhood to today have led me on this path, and the significant impact that serendipity has played. Along the way, I’ll be making observations about museums and exhibitions based on my experiences “in the wild”. And, I hope I’ll be able to shed some light on how the museum and exhibit theory imparted in the KI program reacts when it collides with reality (!).
Here's the story of the Cutting Room Experiment, which ran in Manchester on Saturday 20th June 2009. The idea was to get as many people as possible to suggest an idea for one of 12 flashmobs, with the winning one in each stream being put into production by a professional events company. Here's the story of how the event was conceived, and how it went.

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.
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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

strictly prohibited.
8. Problems with first librarian…
• Arthur P. Brown, librarian 1891-1915
“The question of refusal on part of the Librarian to issue certain books to various individuals
was raised by the Secretary who took the ground that we should not have books in the
Library at all about which there was any reasonable doubt. Several books were named
among which were the following:-
The Lady of Quality ['A Lady of Quality' by Frances Hodgson Burnett, 1896]
Maggie [by Stephen Crane, 1893]
Tess of Duberville ['Tess of the d'Urbervilles' by Thomas Hardy, 1891]
On the Sunny Shore [by Henryk Sienkiewicz, 1897]
It was moved by Mr. Costigan, seconded by Mr. Copland that we expunge these books
entirely.
The Librarian was instructed that outside of these books he was hereafter to refuse no
person provided the books desired were in the Library.”
Deseronto Public Library Board Minutes, December 13, 1898
9. Deseronto Archives
• Formally established by 1997 by-law
• Total annual budget: $11,000
• Occupies a corner of the Library
• Part-time archivist
12. IT situation in 2007

• Archives’ PC attached to Deseronto Public
Library’s network & Internet
– Network drive, backed up
• No email account for Archives
13. • Collection rich in images
• Archives poor in resources
• Completely lacking any sort of online presence
14. Solution
• Use free (or nearly-free) online tools to:
– act as the Archives’ public face
– share images and news about the materials in the
collection
• Use those tools to promote the work of the
Archives and raise funds for further
development of programs
15. Initial online steps for Deseronto
Archives

Technology Fund, 2010, with funding of
$4,000 from the Town of Deseronto
• Used to build and generate content for a new
website: ‘About Deseronto’:
http://aboutdeseronto.omeka.net/
25. Disadvantages
• Initially, Omeka.net did not offer an option for
users to upload materials direct
– Which had been the whole point of ‘About
Deseronto’
• Hard to get people to engage
– Very small population, which doesn’t help!
26. New direction
• Oral histories
– Archives Board members helped to identify
potential interviewees
– 10 interviews conducted during the course of the
project
– Big learning curve – technology, technique
30. Facebook
• Set up a Facebook account a year ago
(reluctantly) for the Archives to help promote
Doors Open through an event page
• An unexpected success
32. Basic usage statistics
• 1,300 images on Flickr
– 57 images with comments

– 25% from Town of Deseronto
52. Facebook
• An unexpected success (150 ‘friends’ to date)
– More connections with local people than through
Twitter
– More help with identifying people/places/things
– Many more user-contributed photos, comments
– Lesson learnt: go to where your audience is!
53. Support for our work
• Social media audiences can be called upon in
times of need
– A lot of support on Facebook for the archives in
the light of cuts to the National Archival
Development Program in recent weeks
56. Things to consider
• Security/portability of images and metadata
from external web services
– Have backup copies
• Possibility of vandalism/inappropriate content
– Vigilance important (incidence negligible so far)
57. In summary
• Disadvantages heavily outweighed by advantages
• Try different things, see what works for your particular context
• See what other people are doing and shamelessly steal and copy
ideas
• Make your service as noticeable and available as possible
• You DON‘T need a big budget, a huge amount of time or a lot of IT
support to have
– a respectable online presence
– a significant impact on the world outside your walls
58. Final glimpses, final thought
You may never know
what results come of
your action, but if you
do nothing there will
be no result.
