The Technology Strategy Board has identified Creative Industries/Digital Media as one of
ten candidate areas for a Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC), as part of a significant
programme of investment in TICs over coming years. The recently published Strategy and
Implementation Plan (http://www.innovateuk.org/_assets/0511/TSB_TICClosingTheGapv2.pdf)
sets out the approach being taken by the TSB.
The Creative Industries KTN, in partnership with the TSB Creative Industries team, has been facilitating a process of discussion and engagement across the creative industries community, and has developed a set of 'straw-men' propositions to help stimulate debate.
The attached presentation sets out 3 possible TIC scenarios - focused on particular research or technology challenge areas, with three different business models.
These do not represent the views of the Creative Industries KTN or the TSB, but are presented here to help generate discussion about what a possible Creative Industries/Digital Media TIC might look like.

Confessions of a developer community builderJohn Stevenson
Slides from my talk on building developer communities at London Software Craftsmanship conference 5th & 6th October.
I share my experiences of interacting with the software development community over the last 22 years.
Discussion includes what kinds of events you could run in your community and how to get your community started.
The current state of technology leaves a lot of people out - of innovation, education, the workforce, wealth and opportunity. This interactive workshop explores the current state for women and underrepresented minorities in tech, then delves into what each of us can do about it.
This workshop was given at Tech.co's Celebrate Tech Conference, and adapted from a talk I initially gave at AlterConf.
Who is winning and losing in the battle for creating the most engaging online experiences in New Zealand?
Intergen recently published a report, The Engaged Web in New Zealand, that set out to analyse how New Zealand websites are performing when it comes to ‘engagement’.
What is engagement? What did we learn? Why does it matter? And what does it mean for you and your website?
The first part of this seminar (about 20-30 minutes) was a brief summary of our findings.
The second part of this seminar (about 20-30 minutes) was a group exercise (in pairs, or small groups) where attendees were tasked with improving the level of engagement of their organisation’s website based on user feedback.
Intended audience: Anyone interested in website content, design, development or social media. This was not a technical session. It’s intended for anyone working in or around the web space regardless of whether or not you are a website owner, business owner, project manager, content creator or designer.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
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. 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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
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.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
