The document discusses how the Australian Scholarships Foundation (ASF) implemented a customer relationship management (CRM) system to more effectively manage their growing scholarship program. The CRM integrated their Joomla website, SugarCRM for tracking opportunities and applications, and Moodle for online applications. This enabled ASF to offer more scholarships while reducing costs. Key benefits included increased volume and value of scholarships, lower operating costs, and greater visibility into the program.

Delve into a SugarCRM integration with Joomla and Moodle, and see how the new integrated solution has enabled ASF to increase their operational efficiency by a factor of 10.
Beyond Learning: Make Your LMS Mission Critical to Your OrganizationHuman Capital Media
Is your LMS mission critical to your business? Many organizations have an LMS, but only a few demonstrate real business results or are integrated in the day-to-day activities of employees’ lives.
During this webinar, they will look at nontraditional ways to use an LMS so it aligns with your business’s needs, improves the stickiness of the solution and drives measureable business results. The discussion also will include suggestions on how to:
• Create a successful, compelling knowledge portal — Pharmacy Systems case study.
• Drive top-line revenue with e-learning by engaging partners and customers.
• Use e-learning systems to improve employee engagement and productivity.

Leveraging SharePoint 2013 & Yammer for Social LearningJoel Oleson
The way people learn is dramatically changing to “point of need” as the trend of social media continues to influence access to information. As SharePoint and social media adoption grows within your organization the ability to assign value to knowledge transfer becomes increasing acute. Learning processes must be deployed that can respond to decreasing product and service cycle times with higher quality. Informal Social Learning is complementary to the effort of your Learning and Development organization’s use of a Learning Management System (LMS) for structured course offerings.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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

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.

3. The Facts - NFPs
NFPs play a key but under-appreciated role in Australian
society
600,000 NFPs, 60,000 economically significant
$41B or 4.3% of GDP
Many NFPs simply do not have funds to develop staff
Many funders will not fund training and development
> 50% NFPs spend less than $4,000 pa on training
56% of NFPs train “as required” and most learn “on the
job”
Some ppl work in the sector 10-20 years with little or no
professional development

5. ASF – Who We Are
ASF was established in 2008 to act as a “circuit breaker” to this serious
problem. ASF is Australia’s only organisation dedicated solely to providing
scholarships to enable directors and managers of NFPs to enhance and
improve their skills to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their
organisations.
Works with Education Providers including universities, private corporations
and education/ training organisations.
Has facilitated over 900 scholarships - short executive management training
programs, specialised mentoring services and post graduate university degrees
& courses.
Low cost, near virtual model – rely heavily on its IT systems
For funders, our leveraged model means that for every $1 invested, $8 in
scholarships is realised.
