The August 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, along with other recent police-involved shootings around the country have inspired demonstrations, conversation, debate and calls for systemic change in our society. Soon after Brown’s shooting, Washington University Libraries and other St. Louis cultural heritage institutions established a repository to document events in or inspired by Ferguson. Appropriately named Documenting Ferguson, this community-sourced open repository now has more than 1,500 files of digital photographs, video recordings and other media contributed from all over the country. These are viewable online at http://digital.wustl.edu/ferguson. Video of this talk available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6whGNsesYA.

Citizen science project list for everyone interested in getting involved - but perhaps confused about where to start. Most projects are available for worldwide participation, and are categorized by type (distributed computing, distributed thinking, other crowd-sourced projects, game-based citizen science). Projects that you can participate in directly through your Android-based smartphone or iPhone are listed separately for convenience. Special projects, such as ones designed specifically for students, and extra handy tools (e.g. measure apps and field guides) are also included. More updated versions to come! Suggestions / alternative lists for specific geographic regions welcome!

Background / Purpose: The 21st century started with an impressive number of international biodiversity initiatives, such as the International Year of Biodiversity (2010) and the recently launched United Nations Decade on Biodiversity ( http://www.cbd.int/2011-2020/ ). Main conclusion: Most nations are now members of the Convention on Biological Diversity and expressed a strong commitment for safeguarding Earth´s biodiversity through their National Biodiversity Action Plans and work programs supporting taxonomy, such as the Global Taxonomy Initiative. Internet projects such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility provide unprecedented opportunities for taxonomists and Natural History Museums to make their efforts visible through the federation of separate museum databases: users can search for species, visualise localities on a map and recall pictures of museum specimens made available by “Virtual Museums”. However, availability of multimedia data is still limited, particularly for type specimens. Taking European museums as an example, I demonstrate the potential of successful virtual museum projects and analyse priorities and needs for further digitisation, which is a pre-requisite for repatriation of biodiversity data from tropical countries. Improved access to collections is also among the main tasks of the recently established CETAF secretariat in Brussels ( Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities ). This new institution will function as a European voice for taxonomy and systematics, and hopefully helps to sustain orphaned EU activities from former projects supporting taxonomy, such as the European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy .

It is a type of research in which the citizens (amateurs and no professional researchers) take action and support a targeted research. The selection of the participants for this research varies from a very simple (open to anybody) to more complex processes (eg. to a selected audience or a selected number of participants). The results of the research are analyzed by expert researchers who also ensure their publication to a broader or targeted audience.

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. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics

Dorra 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!
