This document provides information about an experts meeting on humus to be held in Kaindorf, Austria from January 22-23, 2014. The meeting will bring together international experts in humus and soil carbon to share ideas and technologies for increasing carbon content in soils. The agenda includes presentations on topics like using compost and livestock to increase carbon, conservation agriculture, biochar, and developing a CO2 trading model. Speakers are from Australia, France, Germany, New Mexico, and Austria. The event on the second day will include a visit to a composting plant and biochar production facility. The goal is to find new ways to sequester more carbon in soils faster to mitigate climate change.

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. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Introduction
humus expert meeting
Dr. Christine Jones
We invite stakeholders from government, schools,
universities and agricultural extension to participate
in this meeting, to assist in creating new guidelines
for shaping the future of our agricultural production
system and benefitting the environment. There is a
big movement in biochar research in Europe; however,
there are no “best practices” for application or understanding of how increasing soil fertility with biochar
really works. Many of the applications using “biochar”
are not performed correctly providing unreliable results; therefore, as we better understand the mechanisms that produce stable humus in soil, we will be able
to provide better and more effective uses for biochar.
Olivier Husson, PhD
Dr. Stephen Joseph
Dr Christine Jones is an internationally renowned and highly respected
groundcover and soils ecologist. She
has a wealth of experience working
with innovative landholders to implement regenerative land management
practices that enhance biodiversity, increase biological activity, sequester carbon, activate soil nutrient cycles, restore
water balance, improve productivity and create new topsoil.
Christine has organised and participated in workshops, field
days, seminars and conferences throughout Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the USA and has a
strong publication and presentation record.
Christine received a Community Fellowship Award from
Land and Water Australia in 2001. The LWA Community
Fellowship Program was designed to ‘provide recognition to
individuals with an outstanding track record in mobilising
and inspiring the community to better manage their land,
water and vegetation’.
In February 2009, Christine established the prestigious A &
K Hill Green Agriculture Innovation Awards (GAIA) with generous support from Allan and Kay Hill, who viewed an ABC
Landline program documenting her vision to improve landscape health and farm productivity through the rebuilding of
topsoil. The GAIA awards will run until 2013.
This event will demonstrate to experts in Europe, the
capability for capture and storage of large amounts
of carbon in our soils while providing both an increase in soil fertility and a practical vehicle for reducing
atmospheric CO2 to slow or stop climate change.
is an agronomist (SupAgro Montpellier and Wageningen Agricultural
University) working at CIRAD (Centre
for International Cooperation in Agronomic Research for Development) in
the System and Agronomic Engineering Research Unit (SIA).
He has worked for 25 years in Africa and Southeast Asia
in the domain of cropping systems engineering: designing,
developing and testing with farmers, cropping systems and
techniques (especially Conservation Agriculture) in a large
range of contrasted situations (soil, climate, crops, economic environment, etc.). Based on a better understanding of
soil/plant/microorganism systems functioning, Conservation
Agriculture relies on rapid restoration of soil organic matter
for activation of ecological processes. In a transdisciplinary
perspective, he perceives organic matter first of all as a
reservoir of electrons and a modifier of soil electric properties, playing a central role in soil/plant/microorganism
systems functioning.
Dr Stephen Joseph holds a Bachelor
of Applied Science in Metallurgical Engineering and a doctorate in Architecture and Applied Anthropology. He is
a Fellow of the Australian Institute of
Energy, a chartered engineer and has
been a senior adviser to both commercial, government and
non government organisations, in renewable energy, and
sustainable agriculture and forestry.
He has also been involved in multi-country market research
into areas related to biochar, waste recycling and renewable
energy. He has written over 100 books and articles and lectured and trained other engineers and scientists throughout
the world. He was the founding vice chairman of the International Biochar Initiative and co-editor with Dr Johannes
Lehmann of the first major publication on biochar.
He is now a visiting professor at the University of NSW, Nanjing
Agricultural University and a Research fellow at the University
of Newcastle and Wollongong, and a director of a renewable
energy and engine company in the UK. He has been the managing director of a renewable energy company for 23 years and
a director of other renewable energy and biochar companies.
The purpose of this event is to find new combinations and technologies to increase carbon in soils
faster and more effectively, with the best ideas to be
tested by farmers in the ecoregion Kaindorf in 2014.
