This document provides guidance on facilitating effective team meetings. It recommends setting a clear goal for the meeting, preparing questions to ensure all attendees are ready, and making every meeting meaningful or avoiding unnecessary meetings. It also suggests using a meeting invitation template to identify relevant topics and a "parking lot" for topics outside the agenda. The document outlines different types of meetings and adjusting the agenda accordingly. Finally, it discusses assigning roles like timekeeper and notetaker, and setting rules to provide structure and expectations for attendees.
Despite the daily onslaughts of e-mails, phone calls, and memos, meetings are still one of the most effective ways that people share and exchange information, get feedback, plan, collaborate and make important decisions for their organizations.
Rules for effective meetings - seriously....stop wasting timeEric Tachibana
Whether you are in an industry led by multi-national firms that require many specialized knowledge workers doing related and dependent tasks to work together to create synergistic value, or if you are a fast-moving, hip start-up, it is necessary for us to have a lot of meetings.
In an average week, I probably spend at least 40% of my time working with between 3-10 people at once, and usually across locations. I am sure you are the same.
As such, having excellent meeting skills can make a huge difference in how well you deliver in your role and we deliver as a firm.
In our meetings, it is not only about talking, it is also about being productive. To complement our effective meetings, we understand the importance of having a set of awesome meeting minutes to work out our action plans better. Here is a guide on how we take effective meeting minutes in Titansoft!

Statistics show that not only do people spend a lot of time in business meetings, but almost half of those surveyed stated that "unfocused" meetings were their biggest workplace time waster.This presentation will offer tips on how to run more effective meetings .
Knowledge of the agenda and minutes of meetings helps in holding efficient and effective meetings. Good meeting in turn helps make projects successful. In a good meeting, participants' ideas are heard, decisions are made through group discussion and with reasonable speed, and activities are focused on desired results.
Community Score Cards is an accountability tool used to improve service delivery by bringing service users and service providers together. CSC is dependent on good facilitation skills for its success.

Meetings, meetings everywhere but not an agenda to be found! (Gatto, 2016)
Ahh, Meetings: the great alternative to work. As conventional wisdom goes, if you want to be busy, do nothing, produce little to nothing, and yet get paid, set up and attend meetings.

Large companies spend millions of dollars on SAP, ERP, Quality, and ISO processes, but do these practices really work? Or, are they like the latest medical wonder drug before the recall because of bad side effects? Such processes can create an approach to work but they only work equal to the leadership’s ability to implement and utilize the process intelligently and appropriately. How do you intelligently and appropriately implement these processes through meetings?

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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).
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.

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.
