How to Increase Member Value with Social CommunitiesWebjamMark2
Social business is defined as the ability of an organisation to use its online communities to improve its performance.
Most organisations are looking for cost effective and productive ways to interact with their supporters, prospects and staff:
Increase donations by engaging donors.
Engage with members to improve membership retention and increase membership value.
Create valuable new opportunities for membership benefits with the scope for previously untapped monetisation.
Connect members where you to stay at the centre of your valuable community.
Allow your members and donors to create their own communities.
Extend your reach on a secure platform to leverage social media and drive members to your community.
Create communities where members are more involved, with the scope for mentoring and accelerated interaction and feedback.
Streamline internal and external communications across communities and groups with customisable privacy settings.
This document provides an agenda and materials for a marketing class on visual literacy. The agenda includes reviewing key concepts, exercises, and discussing visual thinking and the writing process. Key concepts to be reviewed are the elements and expressions of visual literacy, compositional decisions, and contrast/harmony in visual techniques. Exercises will involve listing examples of different styles in architecture, clothing, and nature. Styles are categorized as primitivism, expressionism, classicism, embellishment, and functional. Visual thinking and the writing process will be explored through an online slideshow and a group exercise applying the visual method.
This document appears to be slides from a presentation on understanding social influencers and their value to nonprofit organizations. It discusses how social influencers can be categorized into different levels of influence and value. It also provides examples of how nonprofits can use social data and influencer ratings to improve fundraising strategies like targeting donors for events, growing sustainer programs, and optimizing direct marketing. The presentation aims to demonstrate how understanding social influencers can help nonprofits improve acquisition, retention, and other goals.
Maximizing e-mail engagement requires segmenting audiences, developing targeted content in an authentic voice, and testing different elements of the email marketing process. Effective emails begin with segmenting lists based on demographics and interests. They develop content tailored to each segment using an authentic organizational voice and compelling design. Various elements like subject lines, calls to action, and graphics should be tested to maximize open rates, click-throughs, and desired outcomes.
This study analyzed $381 million in online donations from 2003-2009 to over 66,000 nonprofits. It found that:
1) The online donation experience significantly impacts donor loyalty, retention, and donation amounts. More intimate and emotionally coherent experiences led to stronger donor-nonprofit relationships and increased giving over time.
2) Donors who gave through charity websites started with higher donations and gave more total over time compared to those using giving portals or social media. Recurring donations were also a major driver of increased long-term giving.
3) Online donations spike in December and after large-scale disasters. December donations seem driven more by existing donor relationships while disaster donations may come from new donors

The Strands Community Collage (CoCollage) is designed to cultivate community in a café, a quintessential "third place", by bringing the richness of online social software into a physical community space. The system shows photos and quotes uploaded to a web site by café patrons and staff on a large computer display in the café, providing a new channel for awareness, interactions and relationships among people there. We describe the CoCollage system and report on insights and experiences resulting from a 2-month deployment of the system, focusing on the impact the system has had on the sense of community within the café.

Cultivating Collaboration: lessons from cohousing studiosNancy Cheng
How can we achieve excellence in design collaborations? Cultivating social trust, organizing logistical aspects, supporting information flow are essential to any community effort. The need for ownership makes artistic collaborations different from others. The pitfalls of ego competition can be avoided by appropriate team size, task organization and fallback options. To negotiate design priorities, team members must use critical thinking. This presentation illustrates techniques for team-building with examples from my University of Oregon design studios focused on intentional communities. While the examples come from architectural design, the lessons are applicable to many types of collaboration that involve shared information about complex problems.

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.

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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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).

8. Early Deployment Study
Procedure
Deploy to local coffee shop: Trabant,
working closely with owners
Observations, interviews and
questionnaire
Goals
develop a better understanding of
the psycho-social factors that would
impact adoption and use
get immediate feedback for
iteratively improving design
explore how best to measure place-
based community development for
future studies
9. Factors Expected to Influence Adoption
and Use
The size and activity of the existing
community
the extent to which the individual
has a desire to meet others
through the café
the individual’s existing levels of
psychological sense of community
and place attachment to the café
10. Measurements
Size and activity of community
Site observations (163 people, 7 hours)
Interviews with café owners
Questionnaire (69 people)
Psycho-social factors:
Psychological sense of community in place
Standardized measure (Wilkinson, 2007) adapted for place
“A feeling of fellowship runs deep between me and others at
Trabant”
“I feel loyal to the people at Trabant”
“My friendships and associations with others at Trabant mean a lot”
Desire to connect
11. Measurement Cont’d
Place attachment
Rosenbaum et al. in study of a suburban diner
People who experienced social support through
diner, developed place attachment – bond
between person and place
Place
Sense of
Attachment
Community
Used items that loaded highly on three factors:
Functional dependency: “I get more satisfaction out of Trabant than other
cafes”
Commitment: “I really care about the fate of Trabant”
Identification with self: “The success of Trabant is my success”
12. Size and Activity of Community
Owners are dedicated to developing a strong community, and have positive
attitude towards technology
Who:
Estimated about 400 “regulars” visited once or twice a week
48% male, 52% female, mean age = 29
23% students, 51% white collar/professional
Level of activity at cafe:
At any point in time, 17 people in the café
23 new people each hour
Stayed an average of 25 minutes each
Type of activities at cafe:
64% sat down to drink their coffee
38% came in with friends, chatted with each other
12% chatted with barista, 2 chatted across the table
Questionnaire: Chatting with friends (65%), reading (46%), working on laptop (39%)
13. Questionnaire: Existing Community
Size of their existing café network:
58% had at least one acquaintance in café, of those averaging 4.2 each
25% had at least one personal friend, of those averaging 2.8 each
Psycho social factors:
Satisfied with café (M = 5.6)*
Lukewarm in sense of community (M = 3.5)*
Place attachment on dependency (M = 5.4)* and commitment (M = 5.3)*
factors, but less so on identity (M = 3.4)*
Desire to connect with others
56% had some or more interest in meeting others at the café
suggests roughly half of regulars would want to join CoCollage
*on scale of 1 to 7, where 1 = not at all and 7 = extremely so
14. Raw Correlations
Sense of
community and
place attachment
strongly correlated
Bolded items are statistically significant at p < .05.
15. Raw Correlations
Of 69 who
completed
questionnaire, 24
also joined
CoCollage
Sense of
community, place
attachment, and
desire to connect
correlated with
whether joined
CoCollage
Bolded items are statistically significant at p < .05.
16. Predictors of Adoption
Simultaneous logistic regression, looks for unique
effects on binomial dependent variable:
Sense of community c2(1, N = 54) = 19.18, p < .001
Youth c2(1, N = 54) = 9.69, p < .002
Place attachment c2(3, N = 54) = 7.42, p < .06
Desire to connect c2(1, N = 54) = 5.66, p < .06
Gender c2(1, N = 54) = 3.61, p < .06
(N = 54 because if any missing variable, person excluded)
17. CoCollage Usage
82 users in first month
Primary usage:
create a profile
browse other profiles
upload images
View others’ images
Significant correlation between
desire to make friends and
number of comments
(r = .43, p < .05)
number of unique days they
have returned to the system
(r = .43, p < .05)
Percentage of users who engaged in each type of activity, with means
18. Conclusions
Within first month, decent adoption
82 out of roughly 400 regulars joined CoCollage in the first month
Questionnaire results shows that people who
a) are looking to connect with others
b) already have a psychological sense of community at the café
c) already feel place attachment to the café,
are more likely to join CoCollage and start conversations
Psychological sense of community for place and place
attachment are meaningful constructs in predicting
adoption of a place-based community technology
