He noted that some of the factors associated with non-use of technology are age, household income, educational attainment, community type, and disability. He also cited findings about why people say they do not use the internet.
Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet Project, will describe the new media ecology and how “networked individuals” get, share and create information. This new environment has disrupted the old models of public relations and requires a new understanding of how information is passed through social media and networks and how influence is reconfigured when everyone is a publisher and a broadcaster.
Many experts say the rise of embedded and wearable computing will bring the next revolution in digital technology. They say the upsides are enhanced health, convenience, productivity, safety, and more useful information for people/organizations. The downsides: challenges to personal privacy, over-hyped expectations, and boggling tech complexity. Lee Rainie shares the latest research from Pew about libraries and puts it into context with the expanding Internet of Things.

New Voices: The Civic Technology and Open Government OpportunitySteven Clift
New Voices: The Civic Technology and Open Government Opportunity
Join civic technology leader Steven Clift and White House Champion of Change for Open Government, for a presentation and dialogue on reaching new and more representative voices through open government and civic technology.
The stakes are high - will open government and civic technology ironically lead to greater concentration of power among fewer, often similar voices or will more open government and community engagement online lead to better government decisions, stronger communities and more problem-solving?
Find out what the numbers say.
Learn from on the ground local examples with global implications.
Online Civic Communicators
Clift will highlight myth-busting research from the Pew Internet and American Life project and share unique highlights from E-Democracy's Knight Foundation-funded BeNeighbors.org initiative that is designed to foster local neighbourhood engagement online that builds bridges across income, race, and native-born and immigrant communities.
E-Democracy's 2013 Team
Connecting neighbors online, from using Facebook Groups to respond to Hurricane Sandy to parents in Park Slope to over 1000 households in just one Minneapolis neighborhood connecting in community life offers hope in an era of growing public mistrust.
Clift will also offer some global highlights about interesting open source "e-participation" trends he discovered in his recent European speaking trip. If you cannot attend, this video of a recent presentation hosted by the Finnish Ministy of Justice and these slides.
Hosted by E-Democracy.org. Special thanks to the UNDP for hosting this event and betaNYC for promotion.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
