Ideavibes and Urban Resilience - Crowdsourcing for Citizen Engagement and Ope...Ideavibes | Paul Dombowsky
Ideavibes and Urban Resilience ran a workshop in Calgary to participants from the City, Public Institutions, environmental groups, etc. with a focus on helping them utilize crowdsourcing in their citizen engagement and open innovation initiatives.
Presentation given in Vancouver on April 18th, 2012 on Social Media with Elijah van der Giessen, Koodonation and Microvolunteering with Jennifer Robertson, and Fundchange and Crowdfunding with Paul Dombowsky.
This presentation focused on the the basics of crowdsourcing as a civic engagement platform to give citizens an opportunity to be part of the change they want to see and open government.
Crowdsourcing is a process that involves outsourcing tasks to a distributed group of people. This process can occur both online and offline, and the difference between crowdsourcing and ordinary outsourcing is that a task or problem is outsourced to an undefined public rather than a specific body, such as paid employees. Crowdsourcing is distributed problem solving. Your most complex business problems are broken down into microtasks and completed efficiently by an on-demand, scalable workforce. Coining the term of "crowdsourcing", Jeff Howe has also indicated some common categories of crowdsourcing that can be used effectively in the commercial world. Some of these web-based crowdsourcing efforts include crowdvoting, wisdom of the crowd, crowdfunding, microwork, and inducement prize contests. Crowd is an umbrella term for people who contribute to crowdsourcing efforts.
Crowdsourcing can be looked at as an application of the wisdom of crowds concept, in which the knowledge and talents of a group of people is leveraged to create content and solve problems.
Crowdsourcing markets are not a first-in-first-out queue. Tasks that are not completed quickly may be forgotten, buried by filters and search procedures so that workers do not see them
Some popular uses of implicit crowdsourcing are Captcha codes and ESP Game. Crowdsourcing has the potential to be a problem-solving mechanism for government and nonprofit use.
Crowdsourcing in simple terms means using crowd to outsource the work. It includes Open Innovation, Crowdfunding, Crowd Design, Micro Tasks, Macro Task & many others.

Strategic planning. You know you should be doing more of it. But the way you normally do it requires lots of up-front time to do and lots of follow-up time to get buy-in. And frankly, you have trouble with the buy-in part. All that trouble, minimal follow-through.
Great strategic planning processes are lightweight and participatory. This is nice-to-have for organizations, and it's critical for networks, where you don't have the benefit of hierarchy to influence its behavior. Networks will do what they do.
In this Leadership Learning Community webinar, I describe how to do strategic planning for networks. I draw heavily from my experience leading the open strategic planning process for the Wikimedia movement, which drew over 1,000 participants and led to a movement-wide shift in focus on increasing reach and participation in developing countries. I share how you can leverage these types of processes for both your network and your organization

The power of crowd cannot be underestimated. It can be channelized to ideate, conceptualize and create solutions in a collaborative and participative manner.
Especially useful to individuals and small organizations to harness and leverage the skill sets and ideas in a collective manner
This presentation was given at the 2012 Online Research Methods Conference in London, UK. The content focuses on an overview of crowdsourcing as a possible research methodology when appropriate.
Crowd sourcing is an invitation to all people in the crowd to create, discuss, refine and rank meaningful ideas or tasks or contributions via the web.

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).

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.

5. Crowdsourcing Defined Crowdsourcing is an engagement process whereby organizations seek input from either open or closed communities of people, either homogenous or not, to contribute ideas, solutions, or support in an open process whereby the elements of creativity, competition and campaigning are reinforced through social media to come up with more powerful ideas or solutions than could be obtained through other means. Why Bother? Organizations have a difficult time engaging with their communities to strengthen their relationship and be customer/citizen focused. Internal or external, the community has ideas that can be harnessed that come from diverse backgrounds, experiences and education. 2
10. The Appeal 4 Crowdsourcing surfaces new perspectives Invites participation from nontraditional sources Infuses real energy into the process of generating ideas and content Empowers people when they feel their voice is being heard Technology can enable participation by disenfranchised (ie. PCs in libraries/shelters with citizen engagement campaigns) Builds engagement and relationships with new audiences
11. Crowdsourcing works best if: 4 Focuses on a well-stated challenge Links to clear, well-articulated outcomes Balances input from ‘non-experts’ with guidance from ‘experts’ Targets communities with particular perspective or experience, rather than general crowds Makes clear how participating will be valuable to the crowd

Example 1 – Product Development - Branded IdeaStorm was created to give a direct voice to Dell’s customers and an avenue to have online “brainstorm” sessions to allow them to share ideas and collaborate with one another and Dell. Their goal through IdeaStorm is to hear what new products or services you’d like to see Dell develop. In almost three years, IdeaStorm has crossed the 10,000 idea mark and implemented nearly 400 ideas! 6
