The document appears to be a transcript of a presentation given by Ryan Ozimek on June 5, 2012 in Rome, Italy about Joomla and its use in government organizations. Some of the key points discussed include a case study of Joomla being used by 1/4 of the US Congress at its peak, statistics on Joomla's use in Italy, and the benefits of using Joomla in government such as lowering costs during difficult financial times.
Our Community: The Co-Author of Our Brand Story, with Georgy CohenMadeline Riley
In our communications efforts, we seek to convey and affirm the brand of our institution. But the members of our community—students, alumni, faculty and staff alike—are doing that already everyday, regardless of our efforts, through the content they share and create.
Through content-minded community management, we can more effectively appreciate that our community is the co-author of our brand story, sharing content and having conversations that shape the reality of our brand identity.
The more we are aware of their authorship, the more effective our communications will be, and Georgy will explore strategies and tools that can help us achieve this.
This lecture is part of a series of four lectures, developed for the AKI-academy, Enschede, The Netherlands, for the department Crossmedia Design. These lectures are the points of reference for 5-minute presentations created by the participating students.
The 6th discussion was a workshop. It involved people making personas. People learn nuances best by doing. Here are the tools I used to recreate the experience of the research cycle in the session from which they can make personas. It was important to work on one stage of this cycle at a time. This allowed people to develop understanding as their domain knowledge grew. They could identify what different types of data can tell them. It also allowed people to identify when they felt confident that their persona was representative of real people.
6th discussion: How do we make research actionable? How can research spread knowledge quickly and effectively? How do we encourage people to apply research in a way that isn't prescriptive but encourages creativity around a problem? How do we increase awareness and empathy of user needs?
Sometimes discovery (initial research) phases end in an 100+ page report. This can make it difficult to act on the findings. In this session we're going to discuss and practice how to get from knowing things to doing things using personas.

How Apartments.com Automated Contextual Linking - Next10X Boston 2019Jordan Silton
Contextual links placed inside content are one of the best ways to drive traffic gains for large marketplaces. At Apartments.com, we publish thousands of local guides across the country and found a better way to place and update contextual links both helping renters and search engines.
In this spotlight session from Next10X Boston 2019, we dove into how we identified known entities in existing content, connected them to the right related content, and developed a refresh cycle to ensure links always stay up to date on our site.
We explored a variety of techniques including natural language processing (NLP), an application of AI and machine learning, to hone our internal linking strategy, and we learned a few tricks along the way to scale internal linking that can help your organization too.

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.

Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
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.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra 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!
