Drupal is making big inroads into the Australian market with the Federal government deciding to move 450 of their federal agency websites to Drupal over the next 5 years.
Exploring Wider Collaboration Mechanisms in the Drupal SpaceZyxware Technologies
Drupal is a powerful platform but most Drupal firms are less than 50 people strong and there are very few in the 50 - 500 range. One of the biggest limitations (and also the biggest strengths) of Drupal is its powerful API which creates a steep learning curve for anybody new in Drupal and consequently an entry barrier for new players to enter also also a limitation for existing players to scale.
We are competing in a space where gigantic players in the industry like Accenture, IBM, Infosys, CTS etc manage projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars with teams that are hundreds or even thousands strong. If Drupal companies have to compete with such players then we will also have to re-invent ourselves to be able to offer an alternative to proprietary platforms not just in terms of technology but also in terms of a scale of solutions and engagements.
This presentation is about exploring how Drupal companies can compete to collaborate with each other to effectively take on such large players and also allow the whole Drupal ecosystem to grow. This is about how Drupal companies could explore a much wider range of collaboration among Drupal companies who look at Drupal not just as a commercial tool but as a powerful community that can transform application development on the web and who look at Free Software as a philosophy of life and not something to take a free ride on. Such collaborations would not only address the commercial needs of companies but also the contribution needs of the community.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM ADOBE’S PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT REVOLUTIONHuman Capital Media
Adobe Systems’ successful business transformation to a cloud-based business with a subscription model required significant shifts in infrastructure, mindsets and practices. Listening deeply to leaders, managers and employees, Adobe’s employee experience team abolished the annual performance review process for a light-weight performance management approach that provided more flexibility in a fast-paced environment. Adobe’s approach, called Check-in, removed complexity and bureaucracy that didn’t serve the business but focused on the “critical few” activities that supported business growth. This wasn’t just a process change but a different level of engagement from leaders, managers and employees with a greater sense of ownership and responsibility.
Angela Szymusiak will share the underlying philosophies behind the design, how Adobe integrated Check-in into its people practices and the change management strategies used for a successful implementation

I lead Artisan Consulting as a Salesforce Consulting Partner. I combine commercial acuity with technical insights to deliver superior Salesforce solutions for local and global companies that improve and accelerate the quality of their customer relationships across marketing, sales and service functions.
For more than three decades, across a range of sectors and industries, I have 'broken the mould' of the IT consultant by enthusiastically and proactively delivering initiatives that blend today’s digital technologies with traditional business needs of productivity, growth and profitability.
Using my experience and talent, I make complex processes and software development production simpler, smarter, faster and cheaper; transforming obstacles into opportunities; engineering enlightened solutions.
I always think of ways to serve the entire organisation and its customers. I understand business, so I make numbers make sense to the non-numbers person; I make the technical strategy make sense to the technology gurus; I make potential technical obstacles resonate with the executive teams, and so on. With understanding and buy-in, initiatives can successfully support growth, greater efficiencies, more dynamic teams and boosted brand awareness. Seeing the results of a new idea ripple through an organisation is very satisfying and through those successes all stakeholders benefit.
I deliver measurable and endurable digital results with agility.
My consulting performance is exemplified by attributes that include intelligence, vision, creativity, pragmatism, passion, tenacity, communication, flexibility, experience and poise. Excited by the next big challenge, I am ready to bring my global expertise to forward-thinking companies which understand and value a consultant who can drive momentum across customer, product, service and vision.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks
