MicroManchester 2016 "Microservices from 30000ft: Organisation, Architecture ...Daniel Bryant
The technology changes required when implementing a microservice-based application are only one part of the equation. The business and organisation will also most likely have to fundamentally change. In an ideal world, this shouldn’t be a problem – what with the rise of agile, lean and DevOps – but this is not always the situation Daniel encounters in his consulting travels. He would like to share with you some stories of successful (and not so successful) strategies and tactics he has used over the past four years when introducing service-oriented architecture into organisations.
Join Daniel for a whistle-stop tour of the business and technical people challenges that he has experienced first hand when implementing a greenfield microservice project, and also breaking down a monolith. You will discover ‘divided companies’ vs ‘connected companies’, determine the actual impact of Conway’s Law on architecture and operations, briefly touch on the lean startup/enterprise mindset, dive into change management without the management double-speak, and look at the lightweight processes needed to ensure the technical success of a microservices implementation.

This document discusses open science in the digital humanities. It defines an open scholar as someone who makes their intellectual projects and processes digitally visible and invites ongoing criticism and secondary uses of their work. It also discusses open content, learning, analytics, accreditation and data. Ensuring open culture involves using creative commons licenses without commercial restrictions, making data independent of interfaces, educating academics, engaging the public, and making open culture sustainable.
The document summarizes an approach using hypermedia and web annotation technologies to enhance public participation in urban planning and decision making. It discusses using these technologies to make deliberations more persistent, coherent, and participatory. Two research strands are described: 1) Improving transparency by recording deliberations digitally to make them accessible for later interrogation and informing decisions; and 2) Empowering community voices and ideas by developing a "virtual agora" for open public policy discussions. Two prototypical tools, Compendium and Cohere, are presented as supporting moderated versus open deliberation models.
Living labs are open innovation ecosystems that integrate research and innovation processes through the co-creation of ideas and technologies with users in real-life settings. They involve users not just as subjects but as creators. This allows all stakeholders to consider products' real-world performance and adoption throughout the design and lifecycle. SomeTime is a Finnish community that can be seen as a living lab, as it uses social media to boost positive development and empower individuals through self-organized collaboration on open innovations. It is considering registering with the European network of over 300 living labs supported by the EU Commission.

Open and social innovation - knowledge creation in third placesDavid VALLAT
This document discusses knowledge creation in third places such as coworking spaces, hacker/maker spaces, and fab labs. It argues that these spaces foster open and social innovation through their emphasis on collaboration, inclusion, and a playful spirit. Regulars in these communities welcome newcomers and share knowledge in a spirit of "bricolage," drawing on resources at hand to solve problems. Qualities of third places like neutral ground, leveling effects, and conversation can support knowledge sharing and creation when replicated in a "Third Places 2.0" model.

Open Prototyping - An early stage process modelDrew Hemment
An early stage process model for open prototyping – Version 1.0.
FutureEverything has developed a model we call open prototyping. Our labs create concepts and prototypes that spark imagination and ask questions about the implications of new technology. Ideas can then be demonstrated at the scale of a city through our festival.
Open prototyping is to develop and test a concept or process through input of external contributors. Our projects are open to many contributors and also are often made with a public audience in mind. They benefit from the co-creation of many external contributors and the interface to a real public.

This document discusses Living Labs, which are open innovation environments where users help create new services, products, and infrastructure. It describes Living Labs run by Inmediats, science centers in France. The Inmediats Living Labs follow a user-sponsored model where users co-design and provide input into research projects. They engage users, researchers, businesses, artists, and local authorities. Projects go through different stages - design, prototyping, and development - with increasing participation at each stage. The goal is to encourage an innovation culture and strengthen links between citizens and research.

"... Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más; caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. ...”
1. Preface
It is dawning on many of us that the current pace and direction of society is difficult to keep up for very long. When in the post-world-war period the pursuit of (individual) achievement seemed the key force of collective development, now the nature of the achievement is very much at the heart of our concerns. Sharing and respecting the environment, be it social, capital or natural, must now regain a central position in community management. Simultaneously the means available for this common task are more and more distributed. More than ever must one ask what one can do for the community, rather than what the community can do for us.
If this project can establish the relevance of the multidisciplinary approach to global sustainability, it will be succesful. All participants, and all of their partners, will be dealing with our subject hands on. This means, once again, to break out of conventional silos so that professionals with different expertise can share insights and work side by side for the common goal.
Once the individual participants of the project recognise the shared motivation, the matter can be improved, embodied and disseminated - through the work in progress and the distribution of the results. Everyone will have the occasion to relay the subject in new links with organisations and city councils on local level, bringing together the actors within a common framework. The nature of 'change management' will need the implication of key-stake-holders on a regional level. Developping and distributing tested contents will convince captains of governance and industry to support the agents of the new models. The rich and diverse context of european culture will be a favourable background for innovating community-management with the resilience of a hybrid multi-faceted approach. When we come out with a 'best-practice'-based toolbox, developed on field work, we will be ready to share the expertise, and promote this complementary and crucial frame of innovation.
2. Research Outcomes
This research report is part of the Erasmus + project. It is the result of the initial phase, and concentrates on the task of assessing the existing practices of the five partners. The results of the research is be the basis of the second and final phase - the Toolbox development. The Toolbox is destined to enable other individuals or groups to learn the basics of setting up multidisciplinary social entrepreneur clusters.
This document summarizes the kick-off meeting for the KNOW-4-DRR project, which aims to develop a knowledge management framework for disaster risk reduction. The two-day meeting in Milan included discussions on defining the knowledge to be considered, identifying target stakeholders, developing the knowledge management system framework, and planning participatory workshops and living labs. The meeting also reviewed planned deliverables such as stakeholder mapping, knowledge flow mappings, barriers to decision-making, and guidelines. Tentative dates and locations were proposed for future coordination activities including seminars and workshops over the course of the project.
This document discusses knowledge utilization and valorization in the context of research funding proposals. It provides definitions of knowledge utilization from NWO and the Association of Universities in the Netherlands. It also discusses requirements for knowledge utilization plans from NWO, the European Commission, and MSCA Individual Fellowships. Examples are given of dissemination, exploitation, communication, outreach and engagement activities. Workshop exercises are proposed to improve examples of knowledge utilization plans.

Organisations from five European countries have joined forces on a three year journey to share existing know-how and explore new practices related to coworking ecosystems. However, as with every journey, the project began with a period of reflection and preparation, an opportunity to learn new work languages, structures and methods: “Where have we come from?”, “Where are we going?”, “What should be taken forward?”. In addition there were specific questions and discussions on the meanings behind our coworking ecosystems themes, namely multidisciplinary coworking, local partnerships, ecological transition, participatory governance and social entrepreneurship. This report provides the history of our preparation for constructing a coworking toolbox. It focuses on the wealth of local background material unearthed by the partners and, by identifying the most relevant points, helps explain how the map to guide our journey began to take shape.
The information you are about to discover will help explain why we believe that coworking and the creation of multidisciplinary creative clusters (also known as ecosystems or the Third Place) provide an innovative approach for European entrepreneurs and professionals to work collaboratively through improved communication and networking, in order to create new economic opportunities and benefit society.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
