Why Streethawk re-wrote ibeacon handling on AndroidDavid Jones
iBeacons are reasonable easy on iOS devices if you have less that 20 beacons. To use the same beacon hardware on Android is not so easy unless you commit to a single Beacon vendor.
We wanted to leverage multiple (unlimited!???) beacon vendors on iOS and Android and needed to write a brand agnostic

Automate Mobile Growth Hacking - 6 Easy Organic Tactics you should doDavid Jones
All the cool kids have Growth Hacking teams but enterprise Apps can't afford or access the smarts that funded startups like Uber and AirBnB have. So this talks covers 6 Easy Organic Tactics that you can do. Underpinning this is a solution to Deeplinked onboarding - a huge problem that has been a handbrake on "activation" of new mobile users.
Mobile Engagement Automation - a Darwinian Guide to Customer RelationshipsDavid Jones
Customer marketing is undergoing a bigger shift than the email marketing. This is because of the confluence of Mobile, Big Data, API's, Elastic Cloud to create real-time contextual
You've got an App - now what? Implementing your Engagement StrategyDavid Jones
Launching an App without an Engagement Strategy is a sure way to lose the users you've spent time and money to acquire. So planning should start in parallel with development and be embedded when the App launches.
Then with the knowledge of your segments and the ability to A/B test communications (campaigns) with your users you optimize for best conversions whilst reducing uninstalls.
Your CRM is Dead: what you need to know about Mobile Marketing AutomationDavid Jones
Presentation to Mumbrella 360 marketers #m360 conference on how triggered realtime engagement works and how it relates to existing customer data. How does having access to Mobile Telemetry differ from email based campaigns.
Get Users Back Into Your App! - Retention and EngagementDavid Jones
Presentation to Android Users Group on the biggest problem with apps is that users forget about them.
In "Get Users Back Into Your App!" I offer a few ideas about how you can reduce churn, increase retention and engagement:
- Reach out to users that
- Run Campaigns that manage your user lifecycle
- Segment users with crash reports and upgrade them first.
- Actionable analytics and know

My annual 2012 "startup metrics for pirates" talk for Matt Barrie's Technology Venture Creation class.
Not too much different from 2011 except:
a) I added a matrix from Thiel's recent similar
b) added "engines of growth" examples to be clearer.
Two part talk:
1. HTML5 vs Native debate if you are doing more than a form app. Hint: Stop emulating desktops - that game is over.
2. StreetHawk as an MBaaS soution specific for venues and retailers.
For Founders Institute Sydney 2012 discussing two companies I founded as case studies. Lessons learned, axioms internalised and specific actions for early stage companies.
Swinging for the fences often needs VC funding and overseas HQ. So a few prudent steps in company structure can maximise flexibility for the founders, staff and investors as you head global. As seasoned entrepreneurs and angel investors Hamish & David will share what they have learnt about the maze of founder vesting, VC raising, flip-ups, Australian grants, investor/acquirer readiness ad share/option plans.

If you startup isn't in the US it has disadvantages.
So stop whinging and identify the barriers you can control for success!
Guest talk on Web Fraud to Network Security, Elect Eng Sydney University.
Web1.0 generated revenues from advertising. In Web2.0 new monetization models were sought. Good stuff but eventually all these eCommerce sites wake up to discover that the fraudsters have moved in.
Limited only by their imagination and the monetization model, fraudsters will do things like: login hijacks, false signups, purchases with stolen credit cards, money laundering, nigerian/419 scams etc etc.
This talk talks about a few of these problems, how it gets done and what solution/responses exist.
Skate to where the puck will be - cliche or axiom?David Jones
Case study of one Australian's startup's pivots in the volatile market of eCommerce and fraud protection. Highlight things tips/traps for startups in competitive landscape, blindspots of technical founders and some unique challenges/opportunities for Australian startups.
A very general introductory presentation for the Law Society on NSW on Internet, Technology and relationship to current criminal and civil law.
Looks at the fraud ecosystem and the players that make money. From malware, keylogging, phishing, trojans, carders (folks who sell stolen identities), fraud thru to copyright issues and new business models for selling songs and finishing up with workplace policies and acceptable behaviour on social networks.
The Cathedral and the Bazaar - musings on iPhone and AndroidDavid Jones
I discuss if the iphone is an unstoppable force and propose that entrepreneurs and developers consider the coming wave of handsets that are more open and "more betterer" for the public. Otherwise we face a lock-in of our own "early-adopter" creation.
Sorry I don't talk about the Palm, I've had many iterations since the Palm1000 but I don't think they can make it without Appstore, great developer community and/or awesome content. Its just a device and that is not enough now.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Meet Some iBeacons
Radius Networks
arduino based with
a BLE USB.
(developer kit)
Roximity key fob (US)
Also USB versions to
plug into POS I guess
Developer
Kontakt (Poland) Estimote (USA/Poland)
Simple to deploy, Simple to steal (?)
BlueCat (Aus & US)
TCO approach with power management
May be extensible
3. Some iMisconceptions…
iBeacons are an Apple Product
‣Its a protocol running over BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy Standard/Spec/Devices)
‣Its a Trademark of Apple that also defines product compliance (25th Feb 2014)
4. Some iMisconceptions…
iBeacons won’t work with Android
‣Remember: Its just a protocol….
‣You can implement yourself on top of http://developer.android.com/guide/topics
connectivity/bluetooth-le.html
‣You could use the Radius Networks SDK:
‣https://github.com/RadiusNetworks/android-ibeacon-service
‣we use FREE and PRO
‣You could wait for Google…..? (anyone?, anyone? Bueller?)
‣Others?
5. Some iMisconceptions…
iBeacons are stealing my privacy!
‣Generally No.
‣Most iBeacon devices are transmit only.
‣Some can detect/keep IDs and use it for monitoring dwell and flow.
‣Generally it will depend on the Apps on your phone/tablet/wearable and
whether you have opted-in (more on that later)
6. Some iMisconceptions…
iBeacons are under NSA control
‣Veggies es bonus vobis, proinde vos postulo essum magis kohlrabi
welsh onion daikon amaranth tatsoi tomatillo melon azuki bean
garlic.
7. and a clarification…
Your phone/tablet can be a beacon
(only via App functionality)
Whats happening
(Just a few) Use Cases
App register for OS
Finding Objects (inventory/filing)
call-backs to listen for Retail Info and Offers (triggered at store entry or in-aisle)
certain IDs
Dating/Social/Rendezvous applications
App emits an
iBeacon ID
Dating/Social/Rendezvous applications
Customer Service/Customer identification retail
Assume Apple is doing iBeacon/Fingerprint for purchases
iOS7 only at this stage - app must be foregrounded/screen on
(or roll-your own with CoreBlueTooth)
http://developer.radiusnetworks.com/2013/12/15/why-android-devices-cant-act-as-ibeacons.html
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2013/12/10/your-iphone-is-now-a-homing-beacon/
8. What matters to App Developers?
Proximity UUID
(think of this as the
Brand/App/Retailer)
Major ID
(think of this as the
Store/Venue)
Minor ID
(think of this as the
Aisle/Location)
All iBeacons ship with pre-programmed ID’s which you should be able
to re-program, via an App on Mobile or PC with Manufacturer tools
9. Privacy Considerations
Location Opt-in is required on iPhone
1. Bluetooth needs to be on
2. On iPhone you need to “opt-in” to location services for
the App
3. Generally your App is waiting for callbacks for predefined UUIDs
4. See this blog post: http://streethawk.com/blog/
2014/01/31/ibeacon-privacy-and-consumer-perceptions/
10. Privacy Considerations
No Opt-in required on Android
1. Bluetooth needs to be on
2. Generally your App is waiting for callbacks for predefined UUIDs. There is a wildcard in Radius SDK but it
returns nulls for “region” parameters (UUID/Major/
Minor).
3. Sniffing would need to implement at BLE level
4. Radius implementation polls from the App space. So
there is potentially more battery drain than iPhone.
1. polls every 30 seconds
2. PRO library has some battery saving
11. Spam Considerations
iBeacon providers think retailer
“walk in the shop” get a pop-up is cool.
1. Tom Cruise Minority Report is actually utopia (personalized)
2. spam popups is the dystopia we get.
12. Segment & Target
1. Know the user/customer
2. Segment according to their need:
1. loyalty status,
2. purchase behaviour
3. demographic
14. Simple Drop-in SDK - Powerful Cloud UI

15. Last Bit of Fun
GEO-CONQUESTING
(opposite of show-rooming)
1. An Application hijacks the user by popping up a
message when shopper enters a competitors iBeacon
zone.
2. HOW?:
1. Use an Android App to sniff the Proximity UUIDs of
competitor iBeacons
2. Add those UUIDs into their own Customer App
3. Trigger on those iBeacons
4. Bingo!
