Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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).

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.

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.
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

35. Engaging and Transforming Communities
Gary Malone Manager, Angus Volunteer
Centre gary@volunteerangus.org.uk
38. Background
• Formed as an informal network in 2010
• Chaired jointly by NHS Tayside and Scottish Community
Development Centre (SCDC)
• April 2012 – supported by Scottish Government Joint
Improvement Team to be formally developed in 2012-13
39. What is the Scottish Co-production Network?
• Building on existing co-production activity
• Learning, debate and development of ideas
• Practice & information exchange
• Supporting dialogue and advancing co-production
approaches in Scotland
40. What is co-production?
New Economics Foundation:
‘Co-production means delivering public services in an equal
and reciprocal relationship between professionals, people
using services, their families and their neighbours. Where
activities are co-produced in this way, both services and
neighbourhoods become far more effective agents of
change.’
41. Key activities
• Network meetings
• National events/seminars
• Learning events
• Support to local networks
• Website/ online forum
Formed as an informal network in 2010 in collaboration with New Economics Foundation through Meeting the Shared Challenge. As interest in co-pro begins to take root in Scotland – policy context and response to e.g. Chrisitie Commission – looking for responses which look at how we approach public service design and delivery differently. Chaired jointly by NHS Tayside and Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) on a voluntary basis until nowApril 2012 – support recieved by Scottish Government Joint Improvement Team to be formally developed in 2012-13 via NHS Tayside and SCDC
It aims to beA locus for building on existing co-production activityA space for learning, debate and development of ideas and approaches around co-productionA forum for practice exchange, and sharing of information and resourcesAnd to supporting dialogue around emerging policy on delivering public services differently and advancing co-production approaches in Scotland
Many varied definitions of co-production and it is being used across sectors to refer to public service design and delivery. A useful working definition used by nef states that….So the emphasis is on power shift from service provider to an equal relationship between them and communities – where the assets, knowledge, resources and experiences of the communities are integral to developing approaches to achieving better outcomes….
The network is being supported by a part-time coordinator – the key activities of my role will be to organise:Network meetings – which will allow practice exchange, as above a place for ideas and information exchange – usually with someone form the network invited to speak or share a piece of workNational events/seminars – plan to have 1 or 2 in either conference or seminar format with demonstrations of co-production in practice and learning opportunitiesA series of learning events -invited practitioners talking on co-production in relation to a theme, e.g. older people, mental health, share practicePart of my role will be to support the development of local networks where there is demand – and over the next few months I will be contacting network members to find out about who is interested in identifying and developing networks locally.Developing a website and online space as a depository of resources, links – this should include a forum for members and will have a newsletter function etc. Promote the network across sectors and linking with relevant networks, consultations etc.
I will bring a sheet for contact details and email people with details of how to sign up.Emphasis on contributing TO the network – what can you offer?
