IBM Connections – Beyond a standard installation – Fasten your seatbelt!LetsConnect
This year, IBM Software Services for Collaboration had implemented an IBM Connections platform at a large German airline.
What’s special about it? Well, it was more than a standard implementation performed several times at many customer sites. Customer requirements called for demonstration of the excellence and strength of IBM Software Services. In a short amount of time, many enhancements have been created to meet customer’s needs. Finally, the previously used social platform had to be migrated to IBM Connections.
In the 1st part of session, we would like to introduce you some of these enhancements which have been implemented for the IBM Connections social platform. One set of enhancements is around Profiles data privacy. The other enhancement introduces new ways how to manage your activity streams. Maybe the one or the other might be of interest for you as well.
In the 2nd part, we would also like to share our experiences of migrating a 3rd party social platform to IBM Connections.

How to Balance System Speed and Risk for Multi-Platform InnovationClaudia Ring
Walking the line between speed to market and stability of mission-critical systems is something many enterprise organizations deal with on a consistent basis, especially when planning a major application release. Multi-speed IT is a term that connotes the difficulty of balancing speed and risk for these enterprises, but also one that inherently defines a solution; moving at different speeds depending on system requirements. While moving at various speeds based on whether you are releasing changes for Systems of Engagement (SOE) or Systems of Record (SOR) can seem negative, it can be used as a stepping stone towards complete enterprise agility and iterative improvements in release management across both types of systems. Join Rosalind Radcliffe, IBM Distinguished Engineer and Chief Architect for DevOps, as she discusses;
How to begin incorporating continuous testing into the release cycle for both SOE's and SOR's
How deployment automation can be incorporated into multi-platform deployments
How earlier, more frequent testing and automated deployments can help stabilize risk while increasing speed
Customer success with using these testing and deployment solutions to achieve agility across both SOE's and SOR's

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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.

One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.

This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

50. Surfacing 3rd Party Apps in IBM Connections
Communities
49
• Third-party content is surfaced through a new App named the
"Url Widget" provided out-of-the box on Connections
Communities Cloud:
• The body of the Url Widget is an iFrame surfacing a web
page from a specific url
• The organization administrator can configure one of more
instances of the Url Widget
51. Programatic App/Extension Deployment Steps
50
• Obtain and configure AppExtension declaration and store in file
• Register AppExtension using HTTP POST API
URL: <SC host>/appregistry/api/v1/extensions
Header: Content-Type: application/json
Content (body): The content of the file created in step 1.
• Community Owners should now see the App in the “Add Apps” menu
• Optional:
• Verify AppExtension was successfully registered (get all extension IDs)
URL: <SC host>/appregistry/api/v1/extensions/
• Remove AppExtension using HTTP DELETE
URL: <SC host>/appregistry/api/v1/extension/<id>
Extension
Declaration
52. Development of Community App
51
• General approach
1.App code should be implemented in the form of a webpage that is deployed, hosted and
managed by the owner of the App. (IBM Bluemix is an excellent venue for this)
2.The extension point in IBM Connections Communities surfaces the 3rd party App in an
iFrame sandboxed via HTML 5 sandbox attribute.
3.The App communicates with Communities via message passing to receive context
• The contextual data are passed to the 3rd party web page loaded in the iFrame
inside the URL Widget through an object in JSON format defined as follows:
{
userData: {<userData>},
source: {<sourceInformation>},
extraContent: {<community-specific data>}
}
Extension
App
Extension
Point
53. Contextual information available to the 3rd party
App
52
▪ UserData
– userId User's unique id
– orgId User's organizations id
– email User's email address
– displayName User's display name
▪ Source
– resourceId Community's id
– resourceName Community's name
– resourceOrganizationId Community's owning organization
– resourceType Type of the resource
(*community" in the case of widget running in Community)
▪ extraContent: (additional data that are specific to Communities)
– canContribute Determines whether the logged-in user can contribute content
– canPersonalize Determines whether the logged-in user can personalize the content
Extension
Protocol
54. Contextual information available to the 3rd party
content (cont)
53
▪ Context is passed through a postMessage event. event.data contains the JSON object with the contextual information
described above. The 3rd party webpage can intercept the event as follows (using example on North America data
center ):
▪ The 3rd party content must "ask" Connections to send the contextual information through a postMessage event with the
text value "appReady".
parent.postMessage("appReady", "*");
▪ Note that postMessage is only supported on HTML5 browser, meaning that the Url widget in Communities is only
supported on such browsers.
window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
if (event.origin === “https://apps.na.collabserv.com") {
// event.data contains the full context
console.log("Running in community named " + event.data.source.resourceId);
}
}, false);

Editor's Notes
For our talk today we are going to focus on some of the trends we see occurring within the industry, we’ll provide a quick overview of our IBM Connections Cloud set of services and talk about how you can integrate and customize applications within that cloud environment. Then we will wrap it up with next steps and information we think would be useful for you if you are in need of more details.
Some of the trends we see happening is that there continues to be more and more usage of social across an organization. Companies are finding this useful in business as a result 2/3’s of enterprises plan to continue to increase their investment plans in social. Some companies have been waiting and watching and learning the value of social in small pockets but we are continuing to see this expansion.
As companies continue that investment in social they have been more diligent and purposeful around obtaining the return on investment. Many are creating adoption strategies so they can better correlate the investment in the tools to real business outcomes. In discussions with our customers and in the market on average we are seeing an increase in the investment around social as there is more and more information available to companies that show how this can change the way you work. It can bring your users together better, connect them in realtime or video and capture that knowledge in an organization and share it more pervasively. In addition being able to use these tools at your desk or on the go with mobile devices are really starting to change the way companies are thinking.
Naturally we also watch what the analysts are saying and according to the Magic Quadrant for Social Software last year they are continuing to predict this market to grow even more. They are projecting approximately $8B by 2019. The other interesting part is if you contrast this to 10 years ago this wasn’t even a market category. They weren’t sure where to define this and now not only is it a full category but the grow is continuing to accelerate.
According to Altimeter executives in particular are not only interested in social for themselves but for their employees and the rate and pace of which they believe this is a priority has jumped 1645 since 2013. These are good indicators that companies are starting to not only understand these technologies but building it into their strategies moving forward. The other piece I think you’ll see moving rapidly which Altimeter also calls out here is the digital aspects. Driving customers, partners and employees to use digital move to market their solutions, drive customer usage and more – these numbers will continue to climb. This is part of the reason we have coined the phrase “A New Way to Work” as we believe the trends in the market are forcing us to all work in new ways and our solutions are well situated to help companies better collaborate and social interact.
So let’s talk a little more about our solutions.
To drive us forward the strategy we are supporting when we are building our solutions and this maps to what you are seeing within the marketplace we believe it’s paramount to think about mobile, the ability to access that information within a cloud environment, seamlessly integrated social components to help in connecting the workforce, using analytics to surface the right information at the right time all within a secure environment. See let’s talk about our solutions that showcase these strategies.
The Enterprise Social Solutions – we are IBM so we call ourselves “ESS” … we provide a fully integrated collaborative experience. That experience includes Mail, Social, Meetings, Documents, Chat and of course mobile. All of these tools will allow you to change the way you work. We not only provide a rich web experience but we have a complimentary rich mobile environment of which we will show you in a few moments. This is available in deployment models of your choice and is built on an open architecture.
When we take a step back and look at our solutions -- we realize we build these for the individuals and teams within an organization at the center of this image. However to truly make that successful it’s important to have an ecosystem surrounding that.
Part of that ecosystem is enabling a level of customization or additional components that a customer may want to add. As such customers demand and should demand of their software vendors to create extensible platforms. Creating an open environment is a must in today environment - Luis will talk to in more detail when he shows you some of the ways in which you can integrate into our applications to demonstrate that extensibility.
This is a quote from Forrester which rings true with our strategy as well – there are many applications in the market today that offer robust activity streams, blogs, wikis and more but the place where we battle and where you will see a large investment and focus from IBM is in the space of Analytics, integration and partner ecosystems. In our talk today we will focus on the integration and ecosystem but know we have core analytics built into our solutions as well.
To give you an example of our ecosystem this is a sampling of the partners that either integrate and / or provide unique applications using our IBM Connections Cloud platform. You’ll see there are some that add value to our social solutions such as Actiance which is a partner that provides compliance – we work with a variety of video partners like Kaltura – we integrate with Hootsuite and the list goes on. Since this is just a sampling and we don’t want to leave any of our partners out please feel free to visit our App Catalog located at catalog.lotus.com. This site is where partners can post their solutions in addition we also provide extension points and plug-ins as well.
Now let’s pivot to talk about our App Dev strategy and how we want to build and cultivate an ecosystem.
From an IBM perspective we have continue to focus on providing the ability for developers to access our the plethora of IBM technologies using our IBM Bluemix approach. Bluemix in simple terms is all about open standards, using the cloud as a platform so developers can build, run and manage their applications. If you want more information in general about IBM Bluemix we encourage you to visit the showcase area. This program is key for us as we want to provide our services as part of this environment so developers can take advantage of our capabilities.
The other IBM program we are working with as the IBM Cloud Marketplace. This is becoming the place to go for all our of digital assets. In addition this team is helping to build capabilities that other teams can leverage for instance when we are looking at providing trials and / or eCommerce transactions. Both IBM Bluemix and IBM Cloud Marketplace are areas we will continue to look for how our collaborative portfolio can be provided given us better reach to the development community.
Let’s talk more specifically about our portfolio and how it relates to App Dev. As we continue to build our solutions for customers wanting both an on premises and cloud environments we have narrowed our focus on 3 key areas we believe will help us in continuing to expand that ecosystem which is vital to our success. One, we want to engage developers that are familiar with our on premises environment and move them to the cloud. While we have access to similar APIs when we are working within a multi tenant environment we need to ensure that the integration points behave correctly so as not to compromise that environment. Secondly, we want to embrace those programs I talked about a moment ago such as IBM Bluemix and move our services so developers can take advantage of key areas that they may want for instance they may want to use Bluemix since we host some of our services and that alleviates the need for them to manage that deployment. Or perhaps it’s leveraging our services such as file sharing to be added to a customer application they are creating. Lastly, we want to support an open platform where partners can provide complimentary solutions. I’m going to pass things over to Luis to talk in more detail about how this will work.

The key takeaways are that IBM offers the richest set of collaborative and social capabilities all integrated into a single experience. Customers can pick and choose the capabilities they would like to use, naturally we believe the value proposition when these are all combined together is the strongest. We want to ensure customers can collaborate both internally and externally, and very important to stress in a secure manner, with our platform. In closing all of this is available on whatever deployment model works for the customer.
