Mass collaboration for points of interest
A considerable amount of geodata is commodity. This is to say that it is not a source of competitive advantage if it does not differ from organization to organization. Collaboration based on a common pool of data makes sense.
In order to enable collaboration, certain factors are quite important.
These include licensing, governance, infrastructure, services, and architecture.
This talk will present the LocationTech Data Commons, a new initiative focusing on collaboration for points of interest data.
It all starts with an epiphany. Every invention begins with a single “eureka moment” or some “brilliant revelation” that causes the inventor to take action.
These epiphanies become the idea seeds planted by inventors around the world. But we can only wish the process was as simple as adding water and fertilizer and waiting for the ideas to spring to life.
Inventions are not just patents to be hung on a wall. They are the starting point for a new business enterprise. So, not only does the inventor have to figure out how to create a working product or device, they also have to drive it forward, creating a business model that will enable it to survive. And that’s where we come in.
The Inventor Boot Camp will help you focus on what’s important. We will show you ways to leverage your time and resources, eliminate unnecessary work, and direct your energies towards driving your product forward. And most importantly, we will teach you what it takes to become successful.
Key Strategies to Learn
How to perform an early stage benefit/market analysis to decide in advance who your end customer will be. Once you fully understand who your customer is, only then can you begin to piece together your business model.
How to develop a profit-centric mindset, the same thinking used by most successful inventors, to maximize your odds of success.
How to decide if your invention needs to be patented. If it doesn’t, this can save you significant amounts of money.
Who you should be listening to. Advice will come from many sources, but not all of it will be good.
How to best position yourself for funding. Hear it directly from the people who have money to invest.

Companies’ use of open source software has surpassed the occasional and solidified itself as the mainstream. Effectively identifying and managing the compliance and security risks associated with open source software can be a difficult task. Whether a company is acquiring another company, preparing for acquisition or simply wanting to manage their use of open source, the universal first step is to figure out the composition of the code, often via an audit. But what do you do once you have the audit report?

Software audit strategies: how often is enough? Protecode
With the widespread use of open source software in proprietary software projects, organizations are looking for ways to mitigate licensing, security and quality vulnerabilities related to open source code. These organizations are increasing deploying software audits which involve scanning a software portfolio to uncover all software packages as well as their associated licensing and copyright obligations, security vulnerabilities and other code attribute information.

Domain Name Association Proposal for Directing New gTLD Auction Proceeds Towa...Domain Name Association
The Domain Name Association (DNA) is proposing as part of a new auction of last resort service for the resolution of new TLD contention sets in an effort to provide applicants with greater control and certainty within the auction process.
Following strong support from our members, we are excited to launch the DNA private auction model which will segregate and earmark auction funds to go directly to the promotion of domain names and TLDs.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Mission
Statement
Create a collaborative space for the domain name
industry to develop common practices and improve
the technical, business and policy environments for
delivering services to Internet users.
5. theDNA.org
RegOps
Charter
§ Registry-registrar operational issues are being solved on a one-off basis as each new
registry operator paired off with its set of registrars,
§ Resolving these issues in an industry-wide collaborative manner is preferable in order to
create operational consistency and save time, and
§ Given its multi-functional and global diversity, the DNA will be an effective place to
facilitate discussion among the broader domain name industry.
§ Issues adopted for discussion must:
– Be of interest across the domain name industry segments
– Be configured in a way to result benefit without corresponding detriment to others
– Have a foreseeable solution
– Be agreed upon by some consensus of the group
§ Keys to success:
– Open membership that protects IP interests of its members
– Able to act quickly
– Develop attractive solutions (common practices) that will be widely adopted
– Work product effectively informs the creation of policy and technical protocols
6. theDNA.org
Opera4ng
Principles
§ Participation will be open to all domain name registrars, gTLD and ccTLD registry operators, DNA
membership not required.
§ The DNA will provide resources and support: webpage support, remote conference support, secretariat and
administration. Leadership (Chair, Co-chair) will be nominated and elected by the entire Working Group.
§ The Operations Working Group members will raise issues for discussion and then decide whether to form
industry-wide teams to address single issue: creating a problem statement.
§ The decision to form a team will be made when a sufficient number of Working Group members volunteer
to participate. Team leadership will be selected by that team.
§ The use of single issue, focused teams is a good feature:
– attendance and influence will rotate around the industry,
– those most interested in a particular issue would participate,
– allow industry members to participate when it is important to them,
– avoid capture by one or of a small group of entities.
§ This is a common practices or business and technical development group. Well developed products will lead
to wider adoption.
7. theDNA.org
Managing
IP
issues
§ Assure solutions discussed are not patented by one group member to the detriment of
others
§ Common issue that has been resolved in many earlier situations
§ One candidate is a FRAND (Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory) agreement whose
features are:
– Participants agree to license all of the standards-essential claims of its patents on a
fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory basis to other members, observers or third
parties
– Participants make a declaration that they have no essential patents or participants
disclose such patents
§ FRAND-type term sheet being developed for group consideration
§ Discussion: other solutions (compulsory license, cross-license, defensive patent license)
9. theDNA.org
Poten4al
Issues
–
for
each:
① Leader will briefly describe the scope and objective of that
potential project
② Have an interactive discussion of the topic
③ Gauge if there is enough support in the "room" to start an
independent effort (drafting a problem statement) for that
topic or one well-defined area of that topic
④ Based on that, we will start an independent discussion or, if we
decide there is not enthusiasm for that topic, we might discuss
it again at a later meeting
