The onus is on women to carve a niche for themselves in today’s workplaceMoumitaMaiti1
The document discusses challenges faced by women in the workplace and argues that women need to take more initiative to advance their careers. It notes that while workplaces are making efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, women still hold relatively few leadership positions. The author argues that women must advocate more strongly for themselves by speaking up about opportunities, negotiating salaries, and challenging unfair treatment. Self-belief is also important for women to sustain themselves in the face of obstacles.
Women in Product Management - Perilous Path or Rewarding Roadmap? (Xenia Kwee...ProductCamp Boston
This document summarizes challenges and opportunities for women in product management and marketing roles. It discusses how these roles can provide rewarding career paths with opportunities for leadership, creativity, and making meaningful contributions. However, it also notes potential perilous paths, including a lack of respect, unconscious bias, isolation, lack of role models, salary inequity, and challenges balancing work and family responsibilities. The document advocates finding mentors, practicing needed skills, and leaning in to help overcome barriers while also highlighting the importance of increasing diversity in technology fields.
This document discusses women in IT and highlights several key facts:
1) Companies with more gender diverse teams experience greater innovation, higher profits, and stronger business performance.
2) Despite growing technology jobs, women's participation in these fields is declining. Only 18% of computer science degrees are earned by women.
3) Over half of technical women leave their jobs at the mid-level point, which is twice the quit rate of men, representing a costly loss of talent. Unconscious bias, lack of support, and work-life challenges are some of the main reasons women leave technical roles.

Presentation held at the Business and Professional Women's International Congress in Helsinki, Finland, 18.06.2011.
Topic: The Business Case of Gender Diversity and the UN Women Empowerment Principles
This document discusses the state of women in tech startups. It notes that while women earn more degrees than men, they remain underrepresented in tech, comprising only 25% of the industry and 5% of startup founders. Female-founded startups also receive significantly less venture capital funding than male-founded ones. The document examines industries women tend to focus on, such as technology, business and media, rather than stereotypical "pink ghetto" industries like fashion. It concludes that long-standing societal factors have discouraged women from STEM careers and the male-dominated culture of tech can make women uncomfortable, which are key reasons for the lack of women in tech.

4 challenges associations face in engaging young professionalsCurt Moss
This document discusses the challenges that associations face in engaging young professionals. It begins with an introduction to WebLink, a software company that provides association management software. The presentation then covers four key challenges: 1) the changing value proposition of networks given the rise of social media, 2) different concepts of time and space among younger generations, 3) the need for faster communication and adaptation to changing technologies, and 4) preferences for different communication channels across generations. The presentation provides strategies for associations to address each challenge, such as emphasizing the value of optimizing one's network, providing remote participation options, leveraging popular platforms like Facebook and texting, and using a multichannel approach to communication.
This document discusses the challenges faced by women in digital careers and leadership positions. It provides statistics showing that women remain underrepresented in technology jobs, accounting for only 19% of founders of all firms and 3% of tech founders. The document suggests possible reasons for this, including a hostile workplace culture, isolation, long work hours that conflict with family responsibilities, and outright sexism. It argues that digital women can help advance their careers by leading based on their expertise, encouraging internal networks, creating online professional groups, and using digital platforms to differentiate themselves and influence change.
This is a wake-up call to leaders everywhere. In this innovative and poignant book, authors Steven Vannoy and Craig Ross challenge assumptions about leadership and business in today’s world. Stomp The Elephant in the Office presents everyday tools that help people put an end to the toxic workplace, get more done, and be excited about work again. Vannoy & Ross explore people and culture (often misinterpreted as the softer side of business) and demonstrate that learning to cultivate them directly affects performance, productivity and ultimately the bottom line. This file contains the first five chapters of the book only.
This document summarizes Harvey Nash's initiatives to promote gender diversity in the workplace. It discusses their mission to help businesses build diverse teams and help women advance their careers. It then outlines several of Harvey Nash's diversity initiatives, including Inspire, Aspire, the Women's Directorship Programme, and programs in the US like Attract. Retain. Advance. and the Executive Women in IT Networking Group. The document concludes by discussing how Harvey Nash facilitates change through research, events, and ambassadorship to accelerate gender diversity.
Millennial-proofing your workplace is an important component to help your business thrive. Workplaces should be created in a way that attracts young talent. O.C. Tanner offers a few suggestions that will help attract Millennials to your workplace.
With the motto of promoting women empowerment and a gender just work environment, in our issue, “The 20 Most Successful Shepreneurs to watch in 2018,” we aim to identify a few such influential women, who’ve marked their presence in the world of science, technology, and a myriad of other disciplines and the entrepreneurial world, who’ve treaded a path of hardships and failures, but emerged victorious by overcoming them.
This document discusses managing a multi-generational workforce. It notes that by 2020, Gen Y will represent 44% of the US workforce and outlines key differences between generations like their views on work-life balance, job stability, and technology experience. To engage multiple generations, the document recommends improving feedback mechanisms, promoting connectivity using social tools, evaluating the employee experience, and facilitating positive dialogue about generational issues. The overall message is that embracing diversity across generations can provide benefits if leaders adapt their mindsets and processes.
The document discusses the glass ceiling theory, which refers to an unofficial and often unacknowledged barrier to advancement in a profession, especially affecting women and minorities. It describes how the glass ceiling can limit opportunities for advancement to top positions and affect factors like pay. While laws have aimed to address discrimination, research still finds that women and minorities often face barriers like stereotypes, lack of access to opportunities, and unconscious biases that can prevent equal representation and pay across industries. Breaking down these barriers will require ongoing efforts to address discrimination and increase awareness of the issue.

Women in Management - The Power of Role ModelsStephen Wills
Women make up half of the world’s population, but they are nowhere near making up half of the leadership contributions. When it comes to management, women make up 60% of junior managers, but by the time you get to the top ranks this number barely makes it into the low double digits – and still fewer among our biggest businesses. Why?

Millions of consumers across Asia Pacific, especially young urban residents, are embracing new social attitudes that depart from tradition on issues like relationships, gender roles, and sexuality. These changes are happening rapidly in some countries, driven by increased access to information online, urbanization, greater female empowerment, and travel. While traditional views still hold sway in many areas, forward-thinking brands are creating campaigns and products that align with these evolving social perspectives, such as jewelry ads celebrating remarriage and magazines for the LGBT community.

Resistance is Futile: About the changes caused by digitalization @ eMBAForum ...Zeeland Family
Zeeland's Janne Saarikko at TSE exe eMBAForum in Turku. How the profound changes in the business environment will force companies to re-invent their organization and ways of working.
Generation Y is taking over the workplace and it’s sooner than you think. By 2025, they will comprise 75% of the workforce.
Due to demographic shifts, including more experienced Baby Boomer workers retiring, it is essential to engage Generation Y now so they are able to fulfill expected talent shortages in the near future. Developing a strong leadership pipeline and expertise are key to business continuity.
Unfortunately, many organizations are not prepared to attract, engage, and retain Generation Y employees because they continue to use management practices that are off target. Neglecting to engage Generation Y will result in talent shortages, turnover expenses, and a damaged reputation.
Generation Y had a different upbringing than the Baby Boomers and Generation X; however, much of what they demand in the workplace will engage the entire workforce, not just their demographic. Engaging Generation Y is as much about modernizing your workplace as it is about creating an environment to capture the best new talent; the ROI is far-reaching.
Learn more about the trends that are shaping the future of work and how embracing technology and the social web can help organizations to capture the millennial workforce and enhance organizational performance.

The document discusses how companies must evolve from being product-centric to becoming customer-driven in response to changes in the digital environment. It emphasizes that companies need to focus on social objects, which are objects around which communities form. Social objects allow companies to tell stories about their mission and deliver stories to stakeholders. Specifically, social objects help make a company's values and mission tangible by allowing them to tell stories about the social objects. Additionally, content must be part of people's social objects in order to effectively deliver stories to audiences in the digital age.

This document discusses the future of public relations and how it must adapt to new technologies and consumer behaviors. It notes that PR is now about reputation management in real-time across social networks, where consumers no longer trust traditional corporate communications and instead seek out word-of-mouth recommendations. It suggests PR professionals will need to provide strategic advice on how to communicate and influence opinion through new interactive channels, while also interpreting large amounts of consumer data and demonstrating value through their own social media engagement. Profound changes are underway, and companies must act now to strategically adopt new tools and approaches or risk falling behind.

Title: Open Source and Public Policy
Abstract: New regulations in the software industry and adjacent areas such as AI, open science, open data, and open education are on the rise around the world. Cyber Security, societal impact of AI, data and privacy are paramount issues for legislators globally. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic drove collaborative development to unprecedented levels and took Open Source software, open research, open content and data from mainstream to main stage, creating tension between public benefit and citizen safety and security as legislators struggle to find a balance between open collaboration and protecting citizens.
Historically, the open source software community and foundations supporting its work have not engaged in policy discussions. Moving forward, thoughtful development of these important public policies whilst not harming our complex ecosystems requires an understanding of how our ecosystem operates. Ensuring stakeholders without historic benefit of representation in those discussions becomes paramount to that end.
Please join our open discussion with open policy stakeholders working constructively on current open policy topics. Our panelists will provide a view into how oss foundations and other open domain allies are now rising to this new challenge as well as seizing the opportunity to influence positive changes to the public’s benefit.
Topics: Public Policy, Open Science, Open Education, current legislation in the US and EU, US interest in OSS sustainability, intro to the Open Policy Alliance

Presented by Phil Nash - Sonar
Title: Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScript
Abstract: Regular expressions are complicated and can be hard to learn. On top of that, they can also be a security risk; writing the wrong pattern can open your application up to denial of service attacks. One token out of place and you invite in the dreaded ReDoS.
But how can a regular expression cause this? In this talk we’ll track down the patterns that can cause this trouble, explain why they are an issue and propose ways to fix them now and avoid them in the future. Together we’ll demystify these powerful search patterns and keep your application safe from expressions that behave in a way that is anything but regular.

Title: Scaling Web Applications with Background Jobs: Takeaways from Generating a Huge PDF
Abstract: Do you need to perform time-consuming or CPU-intensive processes in your web application but are concerned about performance? That’s where background jobs come in. By offloading resource-intensive tasks to separate worker processes, you can improve the scalability of your web application.
In this talk, I'll share my experience of using background jobs to scale our web application. I'll discuss the challenges my team faced that led us to adopt background jobs. Then, I'll share practical tips on how to design background jobs for CPU-intensive or time-consuming processes, such as generating huge PDFs and batch emailing. I'll wrap up by going over the performance and cost tradeoffs of background jobs.
I'll use Typescript, Express, and Heroku as examples in this talk, but the concepts and best practices that I'll share are applicable to other languages and tools.

Abstract: sandbox.bio is a free platform that features interactive command-line tutorials for bioinformatics. This talk is a deep-dive into how sandbox.bio was built, with a focus on how WebAssembly enabled bringing command-line tools like awk and grep to the web. Although these tools were originally written in C/C++, they all run directly in the browser, thanks to WebAssembly! And since the computations run on each user's computer, this makes the application highly scalable and cost-effective.
Along the way, I'll discuss how WebAssembly works and how to get started using it in your own applications. The talk will also cover more advanced WebAssembly features such as threads and SIMD, and will end with a discussion of WebAssembly's benefits and pitfalls (it's a powerful technology, but it's not always the right tool!).

Abstract: Database journal files capture every update to a database. A database of a few hundred GB can generate GBs worth of journal files every minute at busy times. Troubleshooting and forensices, especially of rare and intermittent problems, such as which process made what update and when, is an exercise of finding needles in haystacks. A similar problem exists with syslogs. A solution is to load the journal files and syslogs into a database, and use SQL to query the database. Bhaskar will present and demonstrate this with a 100% FOSS stack.

Title: Scaling an Open Source Sponsorship Program
Abstract: We already know this: the open-source ecosystem needs further monetary investment from the companies that benefit most from it. Likewise, companies say they want to participate in these initiatives, but find it hard to dedicate resources to open source funding when there isn’t a clear ROI.
This talk discusses how the Open Source Program Office at Stripe built a scalable, sustainable open source sponsorship model that aligns internal company incentives with those of open source maintainers and the community at large. We go over the unique “platformization” of our OSPO that allowed us to create multiple funding models, such as BYOB (Bring Your Own Budget), and share lessons learned from this experience as well as other OSPOs.

Build Developer Experience Teams for Open SourceAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Arundeep Nagaraj - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Title: Build Developer Experience Teams for Open Source
Abstract: Open Source has become the default strategy for many IT organizations and Enterprises. However, the constant challenge with Open Source leaders of these organizations has been -
How is my product's developer experience?
Is this the right metric to track?
How can I scale my team to support our products better?
How can I add automation to scale redundant workflows?
If my product involves working with developers, how can I scale to the complexity of the requests and reduce Engineering bandwidth?
The challenges within support of open source products continues to magnify depending on the end user persona whether they are consumers or contributors to your product. Consumers utilize your product, SDK's and API's and are blocked with using it or run into issues, whereas contributors are advanced users of your software that understands the codebase to provide a meaningful contribution back to the product.
The answer to the above is to look at Open Source support as a first-class citizen of your corporate support strategy. To employ the right level of developer focused support as opposed to traditional infrastructure based support is key to scale to the amount of developers using your product. Supporting customers in the open involves more than pure support - building customer / developer experiences (DX) in the open (across platforms and communities) that pivots over the ability of your product's users or developers to be focused on the end-to-end value add. This helps with your active developer growth and retention of users.
Key Takeaways:
- IT leaders of Open Source will learn to employ strategies to build a DX team that engages on multiple platforms
- Work on identifying accurate metrics for product and organization
- Innovate on platforms such as Discord to build a bot and a dashboard
- Ability to leverage customer feedback and iterate over the customer success flywheel
- Distinguish between DX and Developer Advocacy (DA)

Sudo – Giving access while staying in controlAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Peter Czanik - One Identity
Title: Sudo – Giving access while staying in control
Abstract: Sudo is used by millions to control and log administrator access to systems, but using the default configuration only, there are plenty of blind spots. Using the latest features in sudo let you watch some previously blind spots and control access to them. Here are four major new features, which arrived since the 1.9.0 release, allowing you see your blind spots:
- configuring a working directory or chroot within sudo often makes full shell access redundant
- JSON-formatted logs give you more details on events and are easier to act on
- relays in sudo_logsrvd make session recording collection more secure and reliable
- you can log and control sub-commands executed by the command run through sudo
Let us take a closer look at each of these.
Previously, there were quite a few situations where you had to give users full shell access through sudo. Typical examples include when you need to run a command from a given directory, or running commands in a chroot environment. You can now configure the working directory or the chroot directory and give access only to the command the user really needs.
Logging is a central role of sudo, to see who did what on the system. Using JSON-formatted log messages gives you even more information about events. What is even more: structured logs are easier to act on. Setting up alerting for suspicious events is much easier when you have a single parser to configure for any kind of sudo logs. You can collect sudo logs not only by local syslog, but also by using sudo_logsrvd, the same application used to collect session recordings.
Speaking of session recordings: instead of using a single central server, you can now have multiple levels of sudo_logsrvd relays between the client and the final destination. This allows session collection even if the central server is unavailable, providing you with additional security. It also makes your network configuration simpler.
Finally, you can log sub-commands executed from the command started through sudo. You can see commands started from a shell. No more unnoticed shell access from text editors. Best of all: you can also intercept sub-commands.
These are just a few of the most prominent features helping you to watch and control previous blind spots on your systems. See these and other possibilities in action in some live demos during our presentation.

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.
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.
