Miranda's rights for the community manager / Anna Vagner (Donut Games)DevGAMM Conference
Gaming community managers are public figures. Some of us take a pseudonym, some work under their own name. We lead communities with thousands of living people, but do we have the right to show our feelings openly? Recently I studied a case where CM expressed a negative attitude towards a client of the company. He was fired despite the fact that the reaction was published on CM's personal page. Can we share our position or Miranda's rules now apply to KM? And our every word can and will certainly be used against us?

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.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

Can we go to Lunch?
Can I have your personal number?
Here’s a gift!
Come over to my house?
Will you babysit my kids for me?
In fact, Joe Schmo has the same issue…
I can’t help you but my friend is a doctor and
he doesn’t charge that much…
3. Can We Go To Lunch?
• This example of any party inviting the other to
a lunch is unethical. It can give off the wrong
impression and can be misinterpreted.
• The counselor and client need to be in a
professional environment.
• There should be no hint of inappropriate
behavior nor intent.
4. Can I have your Personal Number?
• The counselor should not give out his/her
personal cell number.
• There are emergency numbers for clients in
case an emergency arises.
• The counselor should have a work cell phone
if necessary and can be allowed to give that
number to clients.
5. Here’s a Gift
• Under no circumstances should a counselor
accept a gift.
• You are here to serve the client not be rewarded.
• Gifts can be misunderstood as payment
• Respectfully let the client know that you can not
accept the gift.
6. Come over to my house?
• Clients nor counselors should not go to either
one’s house.
• Sessions need to be held in a professional
environment.
• Too many things can be “said or done” and
pending on the environment and witnesses, your
integrity and work ethic could be questioned.
7. Will you babysit my kids for me?
• This scenario could be considered payment for
the counselor if the client is babysitting the
counselor’s kids
• The client can use kids as an advantage over
the counselor
• Under no circumstances should clients be
involved in the counselor’s personal life
8. In fact, Joe Schmo has the same
issue…
• Counselors would be in violation of
client/counselor confidentiality.
• Counselors’ confidentiality and integrity are
jeopardize by sharing personal information.
• Clients may think that counselors like them
more because they are sharing information
from other clients.
9. I can’t help you but my friend is a doctor
and he doesn’t charge that much…
• A conflict of interest is present in this scenario.
• Counselors referring clients to just their network
may be entitled to a referral fee which can be
misinterpreted as payment.
• Clients will feel that they are getting the run
around and may not want to get the help they
need.
10. In Conclusion
• Counselors need to be very careful with what
they see, do and come across to their clients.
• People’s perspectives can make or break a
working relationship and question one’s work
ethic.
• Never put yourself in a situation that can be
implied as unprofessional.
