Delvinia Digital Diseases Presentation SmeiDelvinia
Adam Froman identified the six common missteps made by digital marketers that Delvinia calls “digital diseases” which can be found lurking online that wary customers avoid contact like the plague; they are as follows: Widget-it is, Obsessive Content Disorder or OCD, Data-pox, Ad-theria, Mono-typosis and Navigation Deficiency Virus (NDS).
Social media is everywhere and companies and consumers alike are constantly looking for effective ways to utilize online communities, blogs, wikis and the latest social media tools to engage audiences. With more than 300 million people engaged in social media, failing to leverage online mediums is often interpreted as taking a step backwards. It is the age of the consumer and social media has been the catalyst, effectively shifting control from management to the customer. Understanding your customer, giving them a voice and most importantly, listening to what they have to say is key to succeeding in the new digital world.
You will learn:
To effectively engage the audience. Digital marketing and social media in particular is a powerful platform that can create lasting customer relationships and generate millions of dollars for marketers, but you must make things interesting and meaningful.
How to listen to your audience(s). If someone that you do business with offers you advice on improving your business/customer relationship – listen. Maintaining an existing relationship is easier than spending time and money searching for a new one.
To be innovative. The biggest mistake a business can make is not experimenting or developing their digital marketing capabilities. If you’re not doing it, someone else will.
A presentation about a few current consumer trends and how they may apply to charities, covering AR (but not VR), data and AI, transparency and growth hacking.
An introduction to (digital) fundraising - campaign bootcampJonathan Waddingham
What is fundraising? What makes a good ask? How do you ask? How do you tell a good story? How will it work on mobile, on social? How would you ask for money on email? All questions asked (and not necessarily answered) in this deck, given to the next generation of campaigners at campaign bootcamp in October 2014.
Here are my top tips for giving great presentations based on going to and speaking at dozens and dozens of conferences and being inspired (or copying) other people's techniques.
Innovations in digital fundraising - presentation for charity works Jonathan Waddingham
This is a presentation aimed at people new to fundraising, be it digital or not, about the latest innovations in digital fundraising. Be it great campaign creative or mobile friendly, it's still about telling a story, no matter the innovative technology that's being used. So here are some great stories, and ways to think about telling your own charity's story.
How we built our new crowdfunding for social good community Yimby.com using lean startup and agile principles, and how we're growing our audience using growth hacking tactics and constantly testing and learning, even with a small team.
The future of Facebook fundraising - IoF National Convention 2012Jonathan Waddingham
Facebook is the world's largest social network and charities are keen to create communities and engage with supporters there, yet few are using any of Facebook's tools to raise any money effectively. Based on data from Facebook and JustGiving, we show you how to prompt donors to share their donations and the pound value of a Facebook share compared to other social networks. You'll also hear Facebook's own advice to charities on using the platform, and how a charity has successfully done so.
Social media has had a massive impact on events fundraising, both from a supporter and charity perspective. Many event participants use it as their primary route for asking for donations, so this shows how social media can help them raise more and get their sponsors involved, including data on which social media channels perform best. It also looks at how social media can support recruitment and supporter care from a charity’s point of view.
Given at Social Media Britain, on the 12/10/11, this presentation shows the latest numbers on how social media sharing is impacting fundraising on JustGiving, and how we're trying to encourage people to share their generosity on social networks.
Why storytelling is important, how you get supporters to tell your story, and an example of a fantastic charity story that played out across multiple digital channels.
Since Facebook opened its platform in 2007, we've developed many ways of enabling JustGiving users to fundraise with Facebook apps, and our latest app enables people to donate without leaving Facebook and is optimised for encouraging sharing.
How people use Facebook and how to help them spread their messagesJonathan Waddingham
This presentation shows recent (and old) examples of how people have used Facebook to fundraise and why they were successful. It also shows how JustGiving enables people to raise more by integrating with Facebook as well as how you can use their tools to make your content more personalised and add more value.
How small charities can use the web to punch above their weightJonathan Waddingham
The web is still an untapped oportunity for many small charities-this presentation gives some tips and a case study to show how you can make the most of the amazing power of the Internet. It was given both at the FSI Forum and the #techforgood conferences in October/November 2010.
Discover the secrets of online fundraisers (IoF National Convention 2010)Jonathan Waddingham
How changes in online behaviours have affected how individuals raise money to charity, the tools they use, what drives them to fundraise and who they are.
IoF National Convention 2010 - the role of Twitter in fundraisingJonathan Waddingham
How charities are using Twitter to fundraise, how different types of appeals bring different results, their traditional fundraising equivalents and how to measure your activity.
The way UK charities responded to the crisis in Haiti using digital media was a watershed in charity use of social media and digital storytelling. Here we look at what they did, the tools they used, and how those lessons can be taken into everyday charity communications.
Presentation was given at the IoF #DigiFun2010 conference in Edinburgh, 18th May 2010.
Fundraising and social media with Dogs Trust and JustGivingJonathan Waddingham
How DogsTrust used JustGiving & Twibbon to raise money, and more social media fundraising advice from the Institute of Fundraising's Technology groups' annual conference.
This was given at Internet World on April 28th 2010 - to show companies how they can learn from the charities who have embraced social media and put digital at the core of their organisation.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.

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).
