Short Intro to OpenStreetMap
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a project that creates and distributes free geographic map data for the world. It allows users to freely browse, download, and edit map data as long as they attribute and share their contributions under an open license. OSM is useful for humanitarian and community mapping projects because unlike other maps, it can be freely adapted and shared as needed.
Augmented reality : Technology
Augmented reality (AR) overlays computer-generated sensory input like sound, video and graphics onto views of the real world. AR started gaining traction in the 1990s but saw major progress after 2006 with SDKs and many apps. AR is used in advertising, ecommerce, education, medical and more. Key stakeholders include brands, end-users and developers. Major AR companies include Google and startups like Wikitude, Layar and Metaio. These startups focus on being product innovators while Google has competitive advantages from its large team, native services and wide device support. The future of AR involves more details, AI, brain integration and broader applications.
Challenges and opportunities of geo-social media
The document discusses the opportunities and challenges of using geo-social media as sensors for earth observation. It describes how mobile internet, cloud computing, and internet of things have enabled citizens to act as sensors. While geo-social media provides rich real-time data, it also has uncertainties around quality, structure, and licensing. The document explores examples of using geo-social media for humanitarian mapping and environmental monitoring. It concludes by discussing future research directions around hybrid processing of geo-social media streams using machine learning and cloud computing.
Data Collection with OSM
This document discusses OpenStreetMap (OSM) and provides guidance on collecting data to contribute to OSM. It introduces OSM as a project that creates free geographic data for the world. It explains that OSM data can be collected online, using a mix of online and offline methods, or entirely offline using tools like OSM editors. The document recommends attributes to map like building details, road properties, and surface types. It also presents examples of OSM use cases and case studies before encouraging the reader to create an OSM account to begin mapping.

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have evolved from a highly specialized niche to a technology that affects nearly every aspect of our lives, from finding driving directions to managing natural disasters. The masses have discovered geospatial data and technologies through the availability of popular globes; wiki-fied street mapping which was started by a few individuals has grown to weekly mapping parties around the globe. Today almost everybody can create customized maps or overlay GIS data. Current GIS technology covers viewing maps and images on the web, simple and complex spatial analysis, modeling and simulations.
In our presentation we'll present highlights of the last 20 years of Open Source GIS developments. Many projects are born as initiative of individuals when the lack of available software for a specific application is solved by own development and the result is then made available to the public on the Internet for further collaborative development. In the early 80's, the first Open Source GIS (MOSS and GRASS GIS) reached production status followed by the PROJ4 library project, a first crucial library for many Open Source GIS applications. In 1995 the UMN MapServer project was started to implement OGC standard. The second cross-project library GDAL/OGR was born in 1998. While these projects became mature, new applications were started with partially extraordinary success (OpenEV, OSSIM, MapBuilder, PostGIS, Geoserver, Quantum GIS, uDIG, MapGuide Open Source, MapBender, gvSIG, Geonetwork and OpenLayers).
The wealth of available but partially unconnected projects suggested to establish an umbrella foundation to foster source code and knowledge sharing. Hence, in February 2006, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo, www.osgeo.org) has been created to support and promote worldwide use and collaborative development of Open Source geospatial technologies and data. The foundation supports outreach and advocacy activities to promote Open Source concepts. It also builds shared infrastructure for improved cross-project collaboration. OSGeo has been a stimulating force for cooperative developments of sister projects, leveraging each other efforts by developing shared architecture components and expanding interoperability.
To become an OSGeo member, the software project needs to undergo a rigorous review of its source code, development structure and community health. In these community-developed projects a whole “ecosystem” of users, translators, developers, and provides quick support and tested solutions, both for beginners and professionals.
In our opinion, Open Source GIS is an appropriate choice for scientific computing as it is developed in a peer review process. We will show some case studies for GRASS GIS usage in research which illustrates its academic roots especially in environmental applications. This covers analysis of spatio-temporal data sets such as multi-temporal Lidar and remote sensing data including processing of large amounts of geospatial data on a cluster.
TLE/HE Front Office Services Curriculum Guide
This document outlines the curriculum for an exploratory Front Office Services course for grades 7-8. The curriculum covers 5 key areas: 1) use of tools and equipment, 2) maintenance of tools and equipment, 3) mensuration and calculations, 4) occupational health and safety procedures, and 5) interpretation of designs and layouts. For each area, learning competencies and performance standards are defined. The goal is for students to gain foundational knowledge and skills in front office services that will prepare them for the TESDA National Certificate Level II in Front Office Services.
Comparison of Mobile GIS applications
The document compares several mobile GIS applications including both proprietary and open source options. It discusses platforms, features, and performance based on tests of common tasks. While open source applications have potential and are comparable to ArcPad in many ways, they still need more documentation, customization options, and support for professional sensors to be as full featured. New devices, interactions, and technologies also provide opportunities for mobile GIS applications.
FOS Desktop GIS notes
The document discusses free and open source desktop GIS software. It defines what free and open source software is, provides background on free GIS software, and evaluates 5 desktop GIS projects - GRASS, QGIS, uDig, OpenJUMP, and OrbisGIS. For each project discussed, it provides details on the operating systems supported, programming languages used, and license type. The document also covers advantages like no license fees and support for standards, and disadvantages like limited documentation and lack of long-term planning for some open source GIS projects.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).
