The National Creativity Network Webinar Series “Open Mic: Share Your Stories”
The importance of creativity of innovation for a thriving economy and community continues to gain steam across North America. Many communities are making it a top priority. How are we going to make this real in terms of the education of our children and in our communities? The National Creativity Network is building a cross-domain movement to link Education, Commerce and Culture to make innovation a reality.
Based on feedback from our first webinar we are hosting our first “Open Mic” to allow members of the network to share stories about the initiatives they are undertaking in their own community and to interact with Network members.

Personal Health Records reduce risk, lower emissions, and improve patient-doc...mikekoz
Personal health records provide a valuable mix of tools in telemedicine that can help doctors and hospitals meet global resource challenges looming ahead. Through patient participation, doctors can leverage the time that patients take to complete detailed health histories so that they can focus on patient exams, justify their coding, and educating their patients. All of these functions help doctors save time and money, empower patients and contribute to minimizing the carbon footprint of in-person visits.

Surrounded by Geniuses: Knowledge Management Learning From Other IndustriesConnie Crosby
Presented in Seattle at the American Association of Law Libraries annual conference on Sunday, July 14, 2013.
Presented by Stephanie Barnes, Missing Puzzle Piece Consulting and Connie Crosby, Crosby Group Consulting. Moderated by Steven Lastres, Director of Library and Knowledge Management at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP.
This session reviews knowledge management (KM) concepts and activities by focusing on a review of case studies from other industries, e.g. finance, manufacturing, oil and gas, and information technology. The case studies will discuss the challenges the organizations were facing and how they were addressed by using knowledge management principles; then these lessons will be related to the legal industry. Case studies will illustrate similarities and differences among industries and approaches, ultimately leading to innovative ideas regardless of the industry.
Takeaway 1: Participants will learn how KM is being used in other industries/sectors and how to apply those lessons to the legal industry.
Takeaway 2: Participants will learn about the technology introduced in the case studies and how to use that technology to support knowledge management initiatives in the law library environment.
Who should attend: Individuals who are responsible for KM or the library in their organizations; technology-focused individuals who want to use technology to support KM activities within their organizations

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.

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.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
