The world of corporate learning is moving toward the 70+20+10% model. This suggests about 70% of learning happens on the job, 20% via feedback from colleagues and peers and 10% in formal training. SharePoint is one of the key enablers of this move, with its widespread use for blogging, wikis and document repositories. Assessments (quizzes, surveys, tests and exams) are a critical part of learningāhelping diagnose what you need to learn, giving feedback on learning, measuring and reinforcing what you have learned. Assessments are also useful in SharePoint for those using it for more formal training and also to keep track of compliance with regulations within SharePoint.

The session will address the different ways users can be authenticated in SharePoint: Active Directory, forms based authentication, claims based authentication, and anonymous access. Iāll discuss when to implement each method and what the best practices are for permission application and management. Iāll address when to use each method and when to implement other concepts like web application policies, extending web applications, laying out a decentralized security model.
Ā
To abide by this best practice, Iāll discuss how the farmās taxonomy may need to be restructured. This is where administrators need to develop and enforce a governance plan around the farmās taxonomy. Thinking about where lists, items, and groups need to be in a SharePoint farm will ensure the right eyes are seeing the right content- and nothing more.
Ā
The goal of the session is to ensure SharePoint content is secure and permissions do not get out of control. Iāll take a deep dive into what is available out of the box and what you can customize. Finally, Iāll also demonstrate how to utilize SharePointās auditing functionality to track who is changing permissions. The audit reports will be used to ensure the admins changing permissions are taking the correct action. When administrators know all their options around security, internal governance plans can be developed to safeguard their farmās content.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Ā
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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
Ā
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
Ā
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Editor's Notes
As a technology evangelist, my role is to provide feedback and enhancements to our product team based on input from customers, consultants, SharePoint experts and partners. Across many conversations with a diverse group of people, one theme is clear: end users are not involved enough in SharePoint planning.
OK, so you have the high-level scope of your project: in this example, it is to migrate several SPS 2003 and MOSS 2007 environments to a brand new SharePoint 2010 farm (or multiple farms). Your team has a defined development methodology (or a set way of doing things) and assigned a project manager. Your management team has an idea of how theyād like to see the new site or system designed, but you need to gather input from the people who will be using the system on a day-to-day basis.Here are four strategies for feedback that will help you get your end users more involved:
There is no single way to manage a project. Your methodology, the documentation you generate, and the level of involvement of your end users all depend on your corporate culture, the size and scope of your SharePoint upgrade / migration, and the standard project management measurements (time, cost, resources). However, the key to success is the same no matter how you approach the problem: understand the scope before you begin, and remind yourself of that scope throughout the project. Right behind that project truth in importance is an equally critical success factor: get your end users involved early, and often. Decide where and when to involve users as part of your pre-planning activities. This is the most fluid of the strategic considerations, as it really just depends on who your users are, what the current environment looks like, and the overall goals of your migration. Understand the culture of your organization, and be aware of your end userās needs. Remember: users who participate in the creation of a system are more likely to accept and support that system once deployed. This is sage advice for any project. Your users know their content ā so let them drive activities around file share migrations, taxonomy development, metadata assignment, and signoff of the overall project plan. If you do this, youāll find that people actually care about the system. And if they care about it, theyāll use it.
