Europeana Awareness year 2 review slides for Workpackage 2 'End-user engagement'Johan Oomen
This document summarizes the key activities and results of Work Package 2 on end user engagement from the Europeana Awareness project. It discusses three objectives: researching end user involvement; launching two thematic campaigns on specific challenges for gathering user-generated content; and establishing collaborations with Wikipedia. It provides details on digital storytelling tools used, the 1914-1918 and 1989 campaigns across multiple countries, and Wikipedia edit-a-thons and competitions. Key results included large numbers of user contributions added to Europeana and visibility for Europeana. Future plans include expanding the campaigns and digital storytelling platform, and continuing Wikipedia collaborations.
Pragmatism and progressivism both emphasized experience, change, and problem solving in education. Pragmatism viewed truth as determined by practical consequences rather than correspondence to fixed realities. It was developed in the late 19th century by philosophers like Peirce, James, Dewey and Mead. Progressivism applied pragmatic ideas to education in the early 20th century by emphasizing learning through experience, projects, and problem solving rather than rote memorization. Progressivist educators like Dewey, Kilpatrick, and Parker argued education should be a process of living rather than preparation for life and focus on meeting student needs and interests. Both philosophies rejected rigid, authoritarian education in favor of democratic, experiential approaches.
Essentialism focuses on teaching core subjects and transmitting knowledge in a systematic way from teacher to student. It values learning fundamental skills and information before advancing to higher levels. The teacher is the central authority in the classroom and students must adjust to their teaching methods. Essentialism emphasizes discipline, order, and mastery of basic subjects but does not account for individual learning styles or interests.
This document outlines the key principles of pragmatism and progressivism in education as espoused by John Dewey. It advocates that education should focus on how to think rather than what to think, and should be a process of living rather than preparation for life. Schools should foster habits of thought and initiative to help students reach their potential. Pragmatism emphasizes learning through experience and problem-solving. Progressivism criticizes traditional practices like rote memorization and advocates student-centered, experiential, and project-based learning.
Perennialism is a philosophy of education that emphasizes teaching classic works and timeless concepts to develop students' intellectual and moral qualities. [1] Classrooms are teacher-centered, with the teacher's role being to transfer knowledge and coach students in critical thinking. [2] The curriculum focuses on the great ideas of Western civilization found in subjects like history, literature, science, and religion. [3] Perennialists believe studying these enduring concepts through classic texts will help students gain life-long learning abilities and strengthen democracy.

The "Smart Rural Hub" project aims to create a think tank and international center for services and innovation in Lles de Cerdanya to promote sustainable rural development. It will facilitate the generation of innovative, sustainable rural development projects with a social focus through an international services center supporting various stakeholders. The model's vision is to foster the environmental, economic, and social recovery of rural areas through demonstration and dissemination activities coordinated from the proposed hub location in Lles de Cerdanya, Catalonia, with the goal of helping create sustainable rural development across the Pyrenees.
The document describes an environmental education project called "EcoAttitude = Responsibility, Information, Action" carried out in Romania between 2010-2013. The project aimed to raise awareness of environment protection among children and encourage recycling. It involved workshops, discussions, and collecting recyclable waste from over 100,000 students across several regions. The project was implemented in four phases over the years, expanding its reach each time.
This document provides an overview of renewable energy cooperatives and projects in Europe that aim to put common and public goods like solar and wind energy in the hands of local communities.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.
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.

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:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. 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.

5. The problem- local level
2009
Visiting Nagykanizsa
(city) with a group called
“People of the streets”
(activists)
„Citromsziget = Lemon
island” (big social housing
unit)
6. The problem- local level 2
Multi faced problem:
- 30-40 families in a big
unit
- House in bad condition
- Negative perception
- Unemployment of
tenants
- Arrears (non-paid bills)
7. The problem- national level
- Big factories close in industrial towns
- Unemployment increases (11% registered)
- Social benefit for active aged people decreases:
22.800 HUF/ month = Euro 76
- Unemployment benefit- just for 3 months after 10
months working
8. The problem- national level 2
- Poor people live in social housing
- More flats needed than habitable and rentable,
many sosial housing are empty, unhabitable
- Flats without comfort, or not energy- efficient so
heeting and electricity costs a lot
9. „Ligetváros” =
“Grove-city”
- Slum of 110 council flats
- Buildings built for military hospital barracks
- Later minimal reconstructions
- Sewer and plumbing system built at the time
of the political system change /1989)
11. -Provide an opportunity for
disadvantaged families living in social
housing units and struggling with rent
arrears to do something for themselves
and for their surroundings
- We carry out renovations involving
tenants of these units and the
municipality reduces the participants
rent arrears by the increase in value of
the renovated houses
