The document discusses applying open source principles to improving places and communities. It suggests that if place is viewed as a system, an open source approach could involve: 1) Users identifying issues and reporting them 2) Making progress on solutions transparent and viewable by all 3) Allowing anyone to suggest solutions and, if agreed upon, implement them to address issues This differs from existing tools by facilitating cross-department cooperation, increasing visibility of improvement processes, and opening up to unconventional solutions. Open knowledge and data are also noted as important to the approach.

It discusses how user interface design is a subset of human-computer interaction, which aims to effectively satisfy user needs. The user interface has input and output components. A good design combines effective input and output mechanisms. The document then reviews the benefits of good design, such as reduced time/errors and training costs. It provides a brief history of human-computer interfaces from early command-driven interfaces to modern graphical user interfaces. The introduction of the mouse and GUI with Xerox systems in the 1970s revolutionized interfaces. The rise of the internet and web browsing is also summarized.
EuropeanaTech closing keynote (Feb 2015 edited version)
Closing keynote given at EuropeanaTech 2015 at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, Paris, 13 February 2015.
The talk introduced the choices made in embedding digital experiences at the heart of both the Cooper Hewitt's online and in-museum experiences, before positing that these are now the base level for a museum. Much of these choices were made at both the API and interface levels but have impacted the way in which visitors to both the website and museum behave. It closes with a caution that even these changes aren't enough to deal with the challenges of digital-born objects that will increasingly become part of every museum's collection (and hence also pose challenges for national and transnational aggregators like Europeana.

Linus Case Synthesis Essay
Linus Torvalds created the first version of the Linux kernel in 1991. This allowed others to build operating systems using the Linux kernel. The document discusses three Linux distributions: Deepin, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu. Deepin is based on Ubuntu and any packages for Ubuntu can be installed on Deepin. Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment instead of Unity to provide a lighter experience than Ubuntu. Kubuntu uses the KDE Plasma desktop, making it very customizable. All three distributions use the Linux kernel but have different desktop environments and design approaches.
Lecture # 8.ppt
This document discusses different paradigms in human-computer interaction throughout history. It describes shifts from batch processing to time-sharing to personal computing and ubiquitous computing. Key paradigm shifts included the introduction of time-sharing in the 1960s, graphical displays and direct manipulation in the 1970s-80s, and the rise of networking and the World Wide Web in the 1990s. The document also covers interaction techniques like metaphors, hypertext, multimodality, and agent-based and sensor-based interfaces.
Fosscon
The document discusses the philosophies of free and open source software and education. It explains that free software allows users the four essential freedoms: to run the program for any purpose, study and modify the code, redistribute copies, and distribute modified versions. Open courseware makes educational content freely available online through sites like MIT OpenCourseWare and Creative Commons licensing. Free and open source software and education increase access and opportunity while benefiting both individuals and institutions.

David stacey jsna workshop
The document summarizes a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment conducted in Lincolnshire, England. It finds that the population is growing older and more deprived. Key health priorities identified include promoting healthy lifestyles, improving health for older residents, treating major illnesses, and improving child health and reducing worklessness. Next steps include monitoring progress, aligning assessments, and improving data quality to further support the Health and Wellbeing Board.
Alan lotinga jsna workshop
The Health and Wellbeing Board (HWBB) in Birmingham brings together strategic management of health and care with democratic representation to address health inequalities in a population of over 1 million that is diverse and generally sicker than average. Early experiences found value in closer community links but challenges include integrating services, managing risks, and balancing representation with effective decision-making. Key priorities are appointing a Director of Public Health, overseeing public health transitions, and establishing clear criteria for assessing joint commissioning and service integration across age groups.
Getting digital engagement right
This document discusses the importance of digital engagement for public services. It notes that consumers now spend far more time online than was previously spent watching television. Some key principles of digital engagement discussed are that online communities should be treated as real communities, participation should be convenient for users, and social media is for communication rather than Communications. The document stresses that public services need a strategic approach to digital engagement to understand why they are using different online tools and to focus on desired outcomes rather than just adopting new technologies. Overall strategies should include objectives, implementation plans, evaluation, and risk management but still allow flexibility.
What is Facebook?
Facebook is a social network that allows users to create profiles, connect with friends, share photos and information. It has hundreds of millions of active users worldwide, making it the largest social network. Users can like and share links and updates, while organizations can create pages to connect with customers. Facebook is also a platform for developers to create engaging apps and games for users. The site encourages sharing information publicly, so users must adjust privacy settings to control what is shared.
What is Flickr?
Flickr is a photo sharing website that allows users to upload, tag, and share photos. Users can join groups organized by location or topic to share relevant photos and discuss them. Photos on Flickr can be commented on, edited online without additional software, and privacy settings allow users to share some photos only with connections or publicly. Flickr helps users discover new photos through tags and browsing group galleries.
Digital Engagement for CSPs
This document discusses digital engagement strategies for community safety partnerships (CSPs). It notes that people now spend much more time engaged online than with traditional media, so CSPs must interact with people digitally. The document provides several principles for effective digital engagement, such as engaging people on their own terms, prioritizing culture over technology, and having interactive organizations to support interactive websites. It stresses the importance of understanding the strategic goals of any digital engagement activities.
Micro-participation
The document discusses the concept of micro-participation, which refers to allowing citizens to engage with their government and participate in civic matters in small, convenient ways. It notes that currently, there are too few people doing too much. Micro-participation aims to make participation more accessible by meeting people on their own terms and timelines through both online and offline means. Examples mentioned include using websites and apps to report issues, translate materials, deliver services, and conduct consultations and meetings in quicker, easier formats. The goal is to make government and civic participation less boring through these small micro-contributions.
Social media and networking in local government
The document discusses the rise of social media and how organizations can effectively engage with people online. It notes that access to the internet and computing has led to over 100 million hours and 200 billion hours spent online each year. Some key principles for digital engagement are to treat online communities as real communities, engage people on their own terms rather than an organization's, and recognize that culture matters more than technology. It also stresses the importance of understanding an organization's goals for social media engagement, such as changing perceptions or behaviors. Leadership, co-creation, passion, learning, openness and listening are identified as important for successful digital strategies.
Introducing Kind of Digital
This document introduces a digital consulting firm that focuses on helping public and civic sector organizations use technology and digital strategies. While they work with digital tools like social media and cloud computing, their main focus is on how technology impacts issues related to people like participation, collaboration, knowledge management and leadership. They offer services like social media strategy, collaboration support, and digital project implementation to help organizations enhance democracy, fundraising and innovation for social good.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
