Cegos learning in the cloud white paper 22.8.11
This document discusses the opportunities and considerations for using cloud computing in learning and development. It begins by defining cloud computing as a model that provides on-demand access to shared, configurable IT resources over the internet. The document then explores how cloud computing could impact L&D by enabling mobile, just-in-time learning and providing a richer, more personalized experience at a lower cost. However, the document also notes potential threats like data security and loss of control. It concludes by providing tips for developing a successful cloud-based L&D strategy.
Cloud Computing and Data Governance
1) The document discusses cloud computing and its implications for data governance. Cloud computing refers to delivering computing as an internet-based service rather than a product. It allows for virtual allocation of resources and pay-per-use models.
2) Moving to the cloud presents both opportunities and challenges for data governance. It could improve governance through fewer devices holding data but requires enhanced focus on governance within and outside the organization. Organizations may lose physical control of their data.
3) Adapting to the cloud will change data governance roles and skills. Governance professionals should get involved in cloud strategies, ensure data challenges are addressed, and plan for new issues around security, compliance, and partner governance. The cloud computing landscape

The Great BYOD Problem, Solved!
Holger Schulze, a mobile security expert, explains to Charles the benefits and risks of a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy. The benefits include cost savings, improved productivity, and happier employees. However, risks include security breaches, data loss, and lack of IT support resources. A survey found that companies experienced lack of IT support issues almost twice as often as data loss issues. For BYOD to be successful, making IT support a priority is important to avoid potential problems.

It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
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.
