This document presents a vision plan to revitalize the village core of Freeport, Maine by enhancing its existing strengths as a retail destination and adding complementary activities like restaurants, culture, entertainment, and outdoor recreation. The plan recommends developing a trademark for Freeport, improving signage and transportation infrastructure, promoting compatible development that expands retail and mixed uses, and continuing streetscape and marketing improvements. The goal is to differentiate Freeport and strengthen it as a premier tourist destination by capitalizing on its unique attributes as a walkable New England village close to outdoor recreation.
OPDC - Old Oak Neighbourhood Area and Forum OPDC Board Presentation - Septemb...Alexandra Dobson
OPDC designates second Neighbourhood Area in Old Oak and Park Royal: Old Oak Neighbourhood Area.
This will mean that people in the Neighbourhood Area can influence things such as: how plans will affect open spaces, the emerging local centre and a section of the Grand Union Canal, as well as locally-listed buildings and conservation areas.
The Old Oak Neighbourhood Area designated covers more than 22 hectares (equivalent in size to St James’s Park), includes most of the existing residential neighbourhoods within the OPDC boundary area.
English Avenue Neighborhood Association Visioning SessionJBHackk
The goal of the visioning exercise is to create an updated vision in specific areas of the neighborhood where residents can affect and direct change taking into consideration any recommendations from previous plans if applicable. The Land Use & Development Committee of English Avenue Neighborhood Association (EANA) worked on creating preliminary focus areas for the meeting with an understanding that focusing efforts/resources would allow for change that is tangible and catalytic. The focus areas are primarily residential and internal to the neighborhood. The primary goal of the visioning process is to start the conversation on assets within those areas, problem areas that need to be addressed, and proposed positive changes that can occur.

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.

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.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.
