What You Should Do For Your Website in the Next 6 to 9 Months
Websites are crucial for a nonprofit's work. Unfortunately, we live in a time when a harmful security breach can be right around the corner. Do you have a plan for recovering from such a breach? How can you speed up your site and help make it more secure at the same time? How do you make your site work well, no matter what device it is viewed on?
Your website is essential for engaging supporters, volunteers, and—in many cases—the people you serve. Adaptability is key for making sure these people can access your website at all times, and there are so many nonprofit website experts out there telling you what you must do.
In this free 501 Talks Tech training, we’ll cover three top areas we believe you need to give attention to soon that will have the greatest positive impact on your organization in the near future:
- Website security and backup
- Website performance improvement
- Responsive website design
Some of the specific topics you will learn about in this training include:
- Simple ways to protect your website from a security breach
- What to do when a security breach happens
- Backing up your website and data
- Content delivery networks and other methods for improving website performance
- Responsive website design
This training is intended for those with a basic understanding of website design and security.

Facebook Strategies for Nonprofits
Your organization has a facebook page, and you've got a few dozen or maybe a few hundred "fans". You see the notices to "boost" your posts, but every time you have tried it, it didn't work, or you haven't even tried. This Workshop will help you understand and use facebook strategically for your non-profit.
We will walk you through how to look at your "insights"
Offer helpful tips on when to post, how to schedule posts,
Show you where to find what kind of posts get the greatest engagement,
And we'll talk about how and when to boost your site or your posts for maximum value for minimum dollars.
This is a beginners workshop, but will assume that you have managed facebook for a non-profit organization, and are familiar with the interfaces.

Tableau for Nonprofits
From fundraising to programs, from advocacy to evaluation, Tableau Foundation helps nonprofits make a bigger impact with their data. Thanks to the new Tableau for Non-profits program, most small nonprofits qualify for free copies of Tableau Desktop.
All organizations – even small ones! – have a vast amount of data at their disposal. But this data doesn't have to be confusing or useless. It can help you make informed decisions on program development, fundraising campaigns, reporting, and strategic planning. Tableau helps nonprofits use their data to change communities.
This “Getting Started” session will introduce nonprofit staff and leadership to Tableau’s powerful, easy-to-use business intelligence software. Through the session, attendees will learn how to:
- Understand the importance of data visualization for evaluation and storytelling purposes
- Connect to their organization's data on a PC, a server, in the cloud, or on the web
- Build compelling visualizations, dashboards, and storypoints
- Use quick filters to explore the intricacies of their data
- Share their data both inside and outside their organization
This is designed to be a beginner’s workshop, but if you’d like to get a head start on finding out why understanding data can be the key to building a stronger organization, check out Tableau's training videos at tableau.com/learn/training.

We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
