Creating effective ammunition in the battle for attentionicoEx
In an age where we can watch our favourite shows on the way to work, share images instantly and carry the worlds knowledge in our pockets, how do companies get at that most precious of commodities, our time?
The simple answer is that there's no simple answer. But there are ways of thinking that can help to unearth unexpected and engaging outcomes. We've been working in digital with museums and galleries for over 10 years to help make noticeable and memorable stories out of educational content. We've now started to bring this mix of behavioural psychology and awareness of current and cutting edge technologies to retail and agencies. We shared some of our thinking on attention, behavior and technology at a lunchtime talk for Start JudgeGill.

What do you need to know that will help you design a community engagement-oriented project that will work? Whether your interest is in news, music, or events, come to this session to find out. Ann Alquist of NCME and Joellen Easton of APM’s Public Insight Network each help dozens of stations design projects that connect deeply with community. And they’ve learned a few things along the way. Jo and Ann share their tales of engagement gone wrong, and what they’ve learned about what works -- and what doesn’t -- in their combined 16 years of work on engagement. You’ll also get to hear from those stations whose successes and challenges are highlighted.
Event organizers around the world are trying to figure out right now—should we postpone?
When faced with the options of canceling or postponing, cancellations should be the last resort, but while postponement gives temporary relief, it poses some key issues.
For starters, postpone until when?
What if all events are pushed back? What will Q4 look like with more than half the year’s events crammed into that one period?
Will the economic situation even be the same after this?
This post will look at these 3 issues and then make a case for pivoting to virtual experiences, at least for the foreseeable future.

Want to make an impact in your community, but don’t know how, or feel like you don’t have time?
You’re not alone. Luckily, there are a number of ways you can use your tech-industry skills to create positive change in your community - and yourself! (Fun fact: volunteers live longer and make more money than those who don’t volunteer.)
In this talk, I explore at the why’s, the how’s, and the where’s for sharing our skills. You’ll learn more about the breadth of ways to give back - both technical and non-technical - and hopefully leave feeling empowered to reach out in your own community and start making connections.

Despite ongoing financial distress, challenges with leadership and staff succession, and an aging volunteer base, many non-profit organizations remain reluctant to engage social media as a means for effectively pursuing their missions. For those who are using social media, in many cases this is limited to push communications, ignoring its real marketing potential as a means of developing relationships with members, funders, media, decision-makers, and others in key target communities. Frequently cited barriers to utilizing social media in the non-profit sector will be explored, with an eye to realistic best practices, and with special attention to the unique challenges of smaller organizations.
1 Understand benefits of social media for non-profits
2 Incorporate social media as an integrated strategy
3 Overcome barriers to social media engagement
Do you wish your board did more fundraising? I’m going to guess the answer is “yes!” Many board members run the other way at the mention of fundraising. Others agree to help but don’t end up doing much. In this interactive workshop, we’ll discuss why your board might shy away from fundraising, how to talk to your board about this hot-button topic, and ways to involve your board in fundraising — without scaring them off and even if they “don’t know anyone with money.”

This presentation was given at the WEDU Be More Workshop to inspire non-profit organizations to harness the power of social media to build relationships, develop community advocates and drive revenues.
I presented this on Sept 17, 2008 at WEDU's Be More Effective Workshop to over 200 non-profit leaders in Tampa Bay.
While the public relations landscape seems to change at rapid speed, there are certain things that never change. With the exploding growth of social media, the need for strategic thinking has never been more important. Join the discussion and find out how to manage a social media campaign. Learn how your insight and deep understanding of strategy, paired with the skills and enthusiasm of technically savvy junior pros, can result in social media success.
Building Participation through Social NetworkingNetwork for Good
Your intern won’t stop telling you that your organization needs to get online. “Make a MySpace page! Create a Flickr account!” Or maybe you have started social networking, but can’t help thinking “Why am I here? What do I do now? Is this helping my organization?” Welcome to the new communications landscape and the realities of building participation – from donors to clients to advocates – in the connected age. This session will explore social networking tools (including MySpace, Facebook, blogs and YouTube) that both enhance traditional forms of connection and information exchange, and create relationship-building opportunities that feel entirely new. Attendees can expect to leave this session armed with practical strategies and tactics about how to start using social networking tools to engage in a personal relationship with users by providing something of value.

Making Marketing More Human Through TechnologyKevin Lawver
Written for The Future of Social Media conference, I was supposed to talk about the "future" of social media technology, but the term "social media" and "marketing" together give me the jibblies, so I mixed it up a little. I try to give a preview of where I think things are going along with a couple things I'd do if I were a marketer to be more human and hopefully more effective. Warning: contains Cluetrain content.

During our kickoff 2014 Inspiring Action for Social Impact webinar, Indy Johar challenged us to think about being open, rather than being social by intention. We discussed how "social" can be too prescriptive or co-opted. We also covered how to go from ‘I’ to ‘We.’ One to Many.
As we move into a year in which we will discuss growing the Sharing Economy, Indy helped us think through this and other "new economy" movements. What we should be ready for in terms of potential challenges or missteps?
Indy Johar is a co-founder of 00:/ and a qualified architect. On behalf of 00:/, Indy has co-founded multiple social ventures from HubWestminster.net to the up coming HubLaunchpad.net [A £4m Open Venture Accelerator] and has also co-led research projects such as The Compendium for the Civic Economy, whilst supporting several 00:/ explorations/experiments including the wikihouse.cc, opendesk.cc.
On May 2nd, Geoff Mulgan, Chief Executive of Nesta discussed the opportunities society has to overcome the barriers that fiscal challenges present to innovation.
Following the 2008 global financial crisis Geoff laid out the challenges ahead during his 2009 TED Talk: “I think what connects the challenge for business, the challenge for government and the challenge for communities now, is both simple and difficult. We know our societies have to radically change. We know we can’t go back to where we were before."
During this presentation, MaRS CEO, Dr. Ilse Treurnicht takes viewers through the evolution of this innovation convergence centre through to where it sees itself moving in the future. It covers both MaRS' roots, and the best practices around the world that are informing its development.

Care, caring, and caregiver are words used to describe those who take care of family members or friends out of love. These terms are also used by those who are paid to help and support others. This is confusing on a number of fronts.
One: there is a big difference between being paid to provide care versus not expecting and not receiving financial compensation.
Two: the policy discussions and funding decisions tend to focus on professional and paid care provided by non profits, governments or institutions as if they were the only ones. This paid sector receives the bulk of the financial resources allocated by governments. In this regard, natural care is playing teeter totter with an elephant.
That the dimensions, requirements and scale of natural care is invisible is a serious public policy issue. We have relegated it as a private matter. In fact, it defines us as a species, as a country, as a society, as an individual.
Providers of natural care need resources to support themselves and the people they are caring for. It is a matter of decency, natural justice and our collective survival. This serious matter should be a high public policy priority.

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.

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!
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.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.

In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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:
