Building a culture of accessibility involves fostering an inclusive environment where individuals of all abilities can fully participate and engage. This approach prioritizes the needs and rights of people with disabilities and aims to eliminate barriers, both physical and digital, that may prevent them from accessing information, services, or opportunities. It involves promoting awareness, understanding, and the integration of accessibility principles into all aspects of an organization, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can thrive and contribute to the community or workplace.
Introduction to digital accessibility - AbilityNet training 23 April 2020AbilityNet
Making your digital products and services accessible for all, can improve the experience for all users, as well as ensuring that individuals with disabilities can gain equal access.
However, learning about digital accessibility can be daunting when faced with an array of legal, technical and medical guidance.
In this session we will:
present the legal, moral and commercial case for ensuring websites, apps and documents are accessible to all;
demonstrate how people with disabilities use assistive technology or customise their experience in order to access digital products and services;
introduce the principles of digital accessibility and the international standards used to assess if content will be accessible to all users.
If you are new to the field of digital accessibility, we recommend you attend this course to familiarise yourself with these general principles first.
This course can also act as an introduction to accessibility for people considering studying for the IAAP CPACC qualification.

Harnessing Digital Technology for Viable Library Services.pdfDavid Nzoputa Ofili
I gave this talk on 29th April 2022 at the Library Tracker Webinar Series organised by Library Aid Africa, and sponsored by the Goethe-Institut.
The aim of the talk was to help librarians understand the fundamentals of adopting and using valuable digital technologies.
Several evaluations of similar events revealed that most participants get inspired after talks have been given about digital technologies that could enhance their library's services, however, implementation almost always is a problem. Hence, this talk was not to recommend and train on a particular technology, but to teach librarians how to start their library's digital journey right.
Agile methodologies are transforming not only the way we work, but also what is expected of us as researchers. At BeyondCurious, we think that’s a good thing. In our experience, agile, iterative user experience research is the best way of conducting ux/usability research.
Why? It ensures that you’re making things that matter. Agile Research delivers rapid results to internal and client teams in as little as one week, allowing for quick pivots to align prototypes to user needs. This flexible, modular approach reduces client risk because it allows teams to test and learn. The research process iteratively informs development, and concrete, ongoing results enable rapid evolution, and ensure that you are making the best product for your end user.
Another benefit of Agile Research is that client and internal design/dev partners are part of the research team: there is no black box. This integrated team co-develops areas of inquiry, prototypes, and key questions. Agile research sprints do not produce dust-attracting research tomes. Instead, reports answer key questions, propelling product development forward with clear and targeted opportunities and recommendations. These sprints also quickly uncover additional questions that could be answered with future research to help move projects forward.
Sounds good, right? But how do you do it? How do you plan it? What kind of team do you need? How do you get recruits in so little time? What kinds of tools and techniques are best suited to agile? And what kind of mindset do you need to be able to pull it off successfully?
This presentation, given at World Usability Congress, teaches researchers, strategists, and designers how to plan and manage Agile Research, including:
Methodology
Research Approach and Planning
Recruiting
Tools and Techniques
Team
Mindset
About 15% of the world's population, or 1 billion people, live with a disability. With internet penetration steadily growing at double-digit annual rates, the inclusive practice of making websites usable by people of all abilities and disabilities is becoming increasingly important. Organizations, such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), have set guidelines on how to create accessible websites.
Governments across the world have taken notice of web accessibility. In Ontario, Canada, the Provincial Government has created the "Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act" (AODA), which includes accessibility for websites.
This presentation was designed to help Ontario municipalities with web accessibility. Check it out if any of these questions are of interest to you:
- Why make our municipal website accessible?
- When do we have to make it accessible?
- What makes it accessible?
- How to make it accessible?

Don't Panic! How to perform an accessibility evaluation with limited resourcesMichael Ryan
Being tasked with an accessibility evaluation is can be daunting. How can you measure accessibility? What disabilities are the most important? What tools do you need? How long will it take? Where do I start? What does "accessible" even mean?
These are all questions I asked myself last year when I performed my first accessibility eval. This session will share everything I learned since then in performing three accessibility evaluations.
The Builders Bridge seeks to promote policies and provide services which enhance:
- builders’ business practices,
- Empowerment of consumers through knowledge;
- Research & innovation of products & solutions,
viability & profitability, and
highest standards of professional and commercial conduct.
The intranet is not a project, it’s a process. In fact, the intranet has more to do with people and process than technology, which is merely an enabler.
Designing a new or redesigning an old intranet requires a completely different approach to design than a consumer website (or mobile site, or mobile app).
In this 30-minute webinar, expert intranet consultant Toby Ward will look at and examine the importance of the key people behind leading intranets. You will learn:
* Engaging employees and executives during design
* Governance principles and best practices, roles and responsibilities
* Staffing an intranet during and after launch
* The importance of change management and training for adoption

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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).

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
