AUTHOR: LAURA SIMES Australia's copyright laws are the chief means by which we as a society regulate the creation and distribution of knowledge. With the digital age well and truly upon us, individuals, corporations and Governments are grappling with how copyright law now 'fits' in with this, with diverse opinions on how copyright law could or should adapt to meet these changes. This talk will look at a few current issues of interest in the world of copyright, and consider where we seem to be heading. Some developments, such as the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) suggest a preoccuopation with stronger copyright laws and penalties. On the other hand, the recent Review of the National Innovation System (aka the Cutler Report) presents a number of recommendations for more 'flexible' copyright law, along with a suggestion that we need to look at copyright law in a different way than we have in the past.

Design perspective (1984)
This document summarizes the author's perspective as a member of the Videotex Industry Association's Information Provider/Service Operator Committee in the 1980s. As a representative of independent design and implementation boutiques, the author had a unique "worm's eye view" of servicing the larger players in the marketplace. This provided practical insights into the dynamics of the emerging consumer-oriented interactive digital services sector, known then as "Videotex", which represented an early vision of the graphical, consumer-oriented World Wide Web before it was called that.

Rethinking Libraries
Julian Diamond's (Associate Director, Information Management, Arup) presentation at the CILIP 2017 Conference in Manchester #CILIPConf17
Libraries are undergoing a renaissance, in terms of the social infrastructure they provide and the services they offer. Increasingly functioning as a catalyst for community cohesion and wellbeing, libraries are evolving into hubs for education, health, entertainment and work. The key function of libraries, to support lifelong learning and building stronger communities, aligns closely with Arup’s own drive to deliver a social purpose in its building, planning and consulting work. This workshop will examine key trends relevant to the future of libraries and analyse their implications on design, user experience and operation of libraries.

Power of Graphics (1985)
Presented at Videotex International October, 1985 (Amsterdam)
"Why put a geeky acronym like NAPLPS into the title of this talk?" Consider the venue.
It was 1985. Graphics on a low-cost personal computer was still new - a cutting edge concept - but expensive, non-standard, and difficult to deliver over the networks of that time - most of them still operating at less than 9600 Baud ( i.e. really, really slow).
And this talk was presented in Europe. There were already 3 major competing national browser standards in the marketplace: Prestel (Britain), Teletel (France) and Bildschirmtext (Germany). Though technically superior in many ways, the US/Canada NAPLPS standard was considered an unwelcome interloper.
My agenda here was to demonstrate the advantages and look to the future.

Regulating Displays
This document discusses display technology and its regulation. It begins by defining display technology as an output device that presents visual formats. It then lists some emerging display types like virtual reality, augmented reality, and holograms. It notes these displays are used for gaming, entertainment, education and more. The document discusses how displays are proliferating and changing culture by delivering more content in less time. It identifies stakeholders that influence display regulation, like domestic regulators, entrepreneurs, consumers and lists some international and domestic laws that currently regulate displays. It poses questions about regulating crimes in virtual reality and criminal content on emerging displays. It provides a proposed activity for stakeholders to develop new display regulations and discuss if they are mutually beneficial.

Maritime Future Summit 2018 Notes
The document summarizes discussions from the Maritime Future Summit in 2018 about key topics, challenges, and predictions for the maritime industry. Platforms, open data sharing, digital twins, and improving user experience were highlighted as important needs. However, unwillingness to share data, generational gaps, and conservative attitudes were listed as challenges. Steps toward increased autonomy and issues around liability at each step were also outlined. The future was predicted to include more electric and 3D printed vessels, with a mix of autonomous and manned ships depending on the application.
Pulchinela's Secret
The document discusses the trends of total interconnection, total communication, and total information that are occurring due to digital transformation. Everything is becoming connected digitally and shared through peer-to-peer networks, resulting in six degrees of separation and markets that function as conversations. This has empowered customers but also raised issues around privacy and data protection, as there is a need to balance transparency with privacy as a business model and enact digital discretion and enlightenment.
Digital harbor
This document outlines a plan to attract data centers and digital companies to Iceland by leveraging the country's green energy and neutral geopolitical stance. It proposes moving the entire Global Internet Archive to Iceland to showcase the country as the first to fully archive information. It also suggests creating a "Friends of Iceland" network of international entrepreneurs to spark innovation and provide connections, capital and customers to new Icelandic companies. The goal is to develop a data center industry and make Iceland an attractive jurisdiction for digital businesses through its consumer privacy protections and support of free expression.

Europeana and Extended Collective Licensing
The document discusses a workshop aimed at making an IvIR report on Extended Collective Licensing (ECL) as complete and useful as possible. It notes that digitization and online access are important to highlight cultural heritage, inspire new content, and encourage new online services. However, there is no Europe-wide solution to digitize and make accessible 20th/21st century materials, denying users access to their cultural heritage. ECL has the potential to solve this issue within legal frameworks while compensating rightsholders. The document then summarizes Europeana's strategic plan to aggregate, facilitate, distribute, and engage with cultural heritage through its portal. It identifies barriers like outdated laws, definitions, and lobbying that stand in the way
Code4Africa - Hacks/Hackers Buenos Aires Media Party 2013
This document outlines Code Africa's approach to building demand-driven and citizen-focused open data ecosystems in Africa.

Beyond Open Source - Arthur Sale
AUTHOR:ARTHUR SALE
The Open Source movement, of which Linux is a shining example, is a showcase of how accessibility makes for excellence. A parallel thrust is currently being conducted in the research institutions and the publishing industries of the world to create Open Access to the world’s publicly funded research. Arthur Sale will trace the origin of the movement, its economics and the forces holding it back, and where we are now, particularly in Australia. Open Access, or OA, has very many more active participants than Open Source, and many more nay-sayers, cautious Scrooges, and ignorant people. The struggle is titanic – the benefits equally large!

It argues Canada needs to learn from other countries' experiences and set clear goals to streamline the process. Consensus needs to be found between owners and internet service providers to develop balanced laws addressing online piracy while providing legal certainty.
Peer To Patent Presentation To Ark Conference 24 May 2010v2ppt#1
The document discusses the Peer-to-Patent Australia program, which allows public participation in the patent examination process. It aims to improve patent quality by giving examiners access to prior art identified by the knowledgeable public. Participants provide timely feedback to applicants and help ensure only novel inventions are patented, reducing future litigation costs. The program connects scientific communities, experiments with participatory government, and could contribute to a more collaborative global patent system.

Governance involves establishing institutions to resolve conflicts and facilitate cooperation. International regimes are systems of rules and norms that constrain nation-state behavior. There are several theories about why international regimes emerge, including hegemonic stability theory, epistemic communities, and constructivism. International regimes have addressed issues related to the domain name system, e-commerce, intellectual property rights, and the digital divide. The Domain Name System originated from a system administered by Jon Postel and was later established under ICANN with criticism over its relationship with the US Department of Commerce.
Creative Commons and Government in Australia
This document summarizes a lecture about Creative Commons and the digital economy given by Professor Anne Fitzgerald at Queensland University of Technology Law Faculty. It discusses the application of Creative Commons licensing to public sector information and government copyright materials. It provides background on how Creative Commons has come to be applied to public sector information in Australia over time, through various government reviews and reports recommending more open access and reuse of public data and content.
Catherine Raffaele - IP Event
Australia has weaker "fair dealing" copyright laws compared to "fair use" laws in other countries. The government expanded fair dealing rights in 2006 but these new rights were limited. When Australia signed a free trade agreement with the US in 2004, it agreed to strengthen copyright protections in ways that reduced consumers' rights, such as extending the copyright term and criminalizing more infringements. The agreement also prohibited circumventing digital rights management technologies, preventing consumers from making use of their new fair dealing rights. Free trade agreements can hamstring future reforms to intellectual property laws by creating a patchwork of binding international obligations. Rights related to intellectual property influence fundamental rights and should not be modified through trade negotiations. Advocates propose adopting charters

2014 Managing Cloud: A New Multidisciplinary Paradigm for Policymakers
The core problems around cloud, telco and other providers who need to transfer data across borders are how to ensure compliance with an alphabet soup of general and sector-specific laws and regulations, and codes of practice, and legal judgements, and legal and procedural uncertainties, that differ in their details across so many jurisdictions.
Public Sphere: Gov 2.0 - Brian Fitzgerald
The document discusses improving access to and reuse of public sector information through removing barriers to information flow. It advocates for open access, open standards, open licensing and open business models to share knowledge. Several case studies are provided that highlight challenges around access to geospatial and transport data in Australia. The document argues for adopting open licensing frameworks like Creative Commons to enable greater reuse of public sector information.
Social Media and Legal Ethics
The document summarizes issues around intellectual property, privacy and social media based on a presentation given to the Sydney University Ethics Committee. It discusses how social media like Facebook are now a major forum for online conversations but content is published more permanently without security. Key issues covered include which laws govern new media, risks of evidence recovery from social media data, legal standards for electronic documents, and jurisdictional challenges for social media cases. It also outlines relevant Australian privacy and copyright legislation as well as recent social media controversies around data collection and privacy settings.
IPW.European Conference Promotes
European experts discussed how standards can promote innovation in Europe. Tim Pohlmann of IPlytics presented a tool for mapping patented technologies and standards to help companies manage intellectual property rights. Ged Owens of the European Patent Office highlighted how patents and standards work together to support innovation and diffusion of new technologies, while preventing prior disclosed information from being patented. Both emphasized the importance of cooperation between standards bodies and patent offices.

Regulating Data: The Implications of Informatics on International Law
Description: Because of the increasing ease of digitization, all information has the potential to be digitized and as such, all information is becoming part of a single, incomprehensibly large, multinational, multicultural data system. The resulting data ecosystem is subject to local regulation by state and national laws which have often been drafted to address a conflicting set of jurisdictional rules and normative expectations regarding the creation, ownership, collection, storage and dissemination of information. The laws vary from country to country, resisting efforts at bringing international harmony because of deeply rooted historical differences. The presentation is an overview of the steps necessary for developing a comprehensive informatics regulatory system that protects privacy, telecom policy and copyright.

Digital Britain Fail
The report discusses recommendations to promote creativity in industries through modernizing frameworks for TV and radio, supporting local news, and policies to maximize benefits from digital technologies. However, the document expresses disappointment that the actual policies focused on helping established interests through tax breaks and surveillance rather than open data, small businesses, direct democracy, or data ownership. It suggests educating politicians, innovating around problems, and pressuring the government, arguing citizens should take matters into their own hands.

1. The document discusses how Creative Commons (CC) licensing has enabled open access to public sector materials in Australia by allowing copyrighted government works to be freely accessed and reused.
2. It provides examples of how several Australian government agencies like the Bureau of Meteorology and Geoscience Australia are now releasing data and materials under CC licenses to promote greater access and sharing.
3. The document outlines the key benefits that CC licensing provides for governments seeking to implement open access policies like attribution of source and universal recognition of copyright terms.
[CCKOREA 국제컨퍼런스] 호주 정부2.0 민.관의 협력
The document discusses how Creative Commons (CC) licenses have enabled open access to public sector materials in Australia. It provides a chronology of how CC licensing was adopted for public sector information (PSI) in Australia from the 2000s onward. Key reports and policies recommended adopting CC licenses as the default for PSI to promote access, reuse, and commercial exploitation of taxpayer-funded research and content. Many Australian government agencies have since implemented open access policies using CC licenses for budgets, geoscience data, and other materials.

Impact of Trade Agreements on IP
This document discusses how international trade agreements can threaten technological innovation and public interests if they are negotiated without transparency and take digital freedoms for granted. It argues that agreements are expanding copyright holder rights and limiting exceptions, while also pressuring internet service providers. If these issues are not addressed, agreements like ACTA, TPP, and CETA could impede innovation by overriding exceptions to copyright, requiring websites and ISPs to censor content, and forcing disclosure of customer identities. The document calls for citizens to get involved in policymaking to protect the open internet.

So You're A Software Developer, Now What? Exploring Career Growth
Talk presented at PyConline Australia 2021.
So you’re a software developer, now what? Is it satisfying? How do you level up? How can you influence your career direction? How can you even figure out what you want?
If your manager asked where you want your career to go, do you know what you would say? Do you feel like being a developer is a bit “meh”, but you are not really sure what else is out there? If career questions make you feel a bit lost, you’re not alone. It’s common for software developers to feel that their career is something that happens to them while they scramble for job stability, rather than something that they have any influence or control over.
This talk will challenge you to look sideways when it comes to moving on up. Software is so much more than just programming, even if you still program every day. Come to get some new ideas on what your current or next job might look like, and how to figure out what you might like. Leave with some confident directions to guide your next 1:1 discussion or job search.
Software is a generous and expansive field - why not aim to find fulfilling work while we’re here, hey?
Dynamic viz in the IPython Notebook
Slides for a talk at PyCon AU 2013. Integrating PyDAP + WMS + OpenLayers + IPython Notebook.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJqBGi48RAM
The IPython Notebook is a powerful web app for exploring ideas and data sets with Python. It has excellent integration with Matplotlib, giving the user highly customisable static plots with ease. But for larger data sets, a static plot may not be ideal - the ability to pan, zoom, choose dynamic layers and sample the data at particular points would be nice. This talk will demonstrate just how easy it is to integrate a Web Map Service/client such as Pydap/Leaflet.js into the IPython Notebook.

Distributed wikis
The document discusses ideas for distributed wikis based on Git-style version control technologies. It notes that wikis are more focused on prose than code, so diffs and merging would need to work at the word level rather than line level. It proposes that wikis could have multiple approved versions of articles rather than a single canonical version. Community and technical challenges of forking large collaborative projects like Wikipedia are discussed, such as maintaining critical mass to prevent vandalism. The document suggests using pending changes and wiki projects to help make forking wikis more practical.

One of the benefits of the open web is that good ideas can flourish easily. In the Chinese speaking web, the idea of an online encyclopedia has been especially fruitful. With the Chinese Wikipedia enjoying its eighth birthday last month, it’s worth examining whether the fragmentation of efforts ultimately leads to a better product and bigger communities, or if the “us vs them” mentality is harmful to sharing.

Public history in the digital age - Claudine Chionh
AUTHOR: CLAUDINE CHIONH
Public history is a field that seeks to return the study and interpretation of history to the wider community. While 'professional' historians with academic training may be involved, public history is largely focused on and driven by 'amateurs' – genealogists, local history societies and others who collect and collate sources and interpret and present them for a general audience. The increased use of the internet in recent years has created new opportunities for opening up sources and archives to the world, and for collaboration and public presentation of historical research. In this presentation I will describe two projects that aim to collect and publish historical sources on the web and to work with local and family historians to maintain these as dynamic historical resources.

Gratis & libre - Liam Wyatt
AUTHOR: LIAM WYATT
“Gratis & Libre” discusses aspects of the idea of freedom in history by analysing the means by which it is curtailed. Specifically these are: the changing nature of copyright; attempts at censorship; knowledge destruction; the monetary cost of knowledge; and the politics of language. It seeks to show how Wikipedia walks a well-trodden path of anti-authority when it comes to the various means by which the ideal of freedom has been curtailed.

Freedom Fighting: How do we convince the powers that be to relax their grip? ...
AUTHOR: JESSICA COATES
Over the last few years the free culture movement has moved out of the bedrooms and into the boardrooms. Open copyright models are increasingly of interest not just to enthusiasts, but to big name creators, government bodies and even corporate entities. It finally feels like we're just a hair's breadth away from widespread acceptance and take up, both in Australia and internationally. But there is still that tiny gap. How do we get people to cross the final divide from interested party to adopter?
Drawing on her experience as Project Manager of Creative Commons Australia, Jessica Coates will lead a group discussion on tactics for promoting greater adoption of open copyright in Australia. What tools are most useful for spreading the word? What projects have been successful in the past? How do we convince people to give more thought to their copyright decisions?
Who's behind Wikipedia?
The document discusses Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation. It provides an overview of Wikipedia, including its size and scope across languages. It then discusses the Wikimedia Foundation, its mission to provide infrastructure for Wikipedia and make its content freely available. It outlines some of Wikipedia's policies around editing, dispute resolution, and getting involved. It concludes by speculating potential changes to Wikipedia in the future.
How Free Software makes Wikipedia possible
This document discusses how free and open source software enables Wikipedia to exist and function as a free, collaborative online encyclopedia. It notes that Wikipedia uses the free software MediaWiki, which is licensed under the GNU GPL, and other free software like Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, Bugzilla, IRC, Mailman, JavaScript, Python and Perl. It emphasizes that free knowledge requires free software and formats to ensure accessibility. It also acknowledges the pioneering work of the GNU project and Free Software Foundation in developing the idea that software should be freely shared and modifiable.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
