This document discusses communication styles and skills. It begins by stating that sometimes how you communicate a message is more important than what is said. It then defines three main communication styles - aggressive, passive, and assertive.
It explains that communication occurs through speaking, listening, and nonverbal cues. When speaking, using "I messages" that describe your feelings in a situation rather than accusing others with "you messages" is advised. Four key listening skills are outlined: paying attention, avoiding distractions, reflecting back what the speaker said, and asking open-ended questions.
Nonverbal communication like body language, gestures, and facial expressions also convey important messages. Different nonverbal cues like eye contact, posture, and facial

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.

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

4. 3 Ways We Communicate Speaking Listening Nonverbal
5. Speaking Skills “I” message: a statement that focuses on your feelings rather than on someone else’s behavior. Replace “You” messages with “I” messages
6. “I” Messages 3 INGREDIENTS Event Consequence of that event Feeling How the event made you feel Example: “When you came home late (event), I wasn’t able to get to my dance recital on time (consequence) and I was really upset about it (feeling).”
7. Changing a “You” message to an “I” message Partner Activity (10 minutes) “When you came home late, I wasn’t able to get to my dance recital on time,and I was really upset about it .” You are always late!! Why are you so inconsiderate? You made me miss my recital!
8. Listening Skills Active Listening: paying close attention to what someone is saying and communicating. 4 Listening Skills
10. Role Playing Scenarios Activity Have students get in partners Come up with a situation where one of you is talking and the other one practices ONE of the four listening skills. The class guesses what skill it is. 15-20 minutes
11. Nonverbal Communication Body Language: nonverbal communication through gestures, facial expressions, behaviors, and posture. Sometimes what we say is not as important as HOW we say it. Everything we do sends a message!
12. What Different Nonverbal Cues Mean Crossed Arms Closed off. Implies resistance. Not listening or interested. A nose rub Linked with deception. Could mean you’re lying or trying to hide the truth. A barrier You’re too close. Back off. A hand placed under the chin Contemplative. Making a decision. Feet pointed toward the door Ready to leave. The feet are the most honest part of the body. What direction are they facing? A back of the neck scratch Concerned or have questions. Mirroring Shows interest. You find the speaker favorable. Forward lean/decrease in backwards lean Indicates positive sentiment and interest. Eye Contact Shows interest, attention, and involvement. Raised Eyebrow May indicate skepticism or interest, depending on how it is done. Avoiding Eye Contact dishonesty or discomfort
