Not long ago, we had the opportunity to test Apache Flink to see just how fast it would go on a moderately realistic task with fast hardware and with a good streaming transport layer underneath. Our goal was not so much careful comparison with other software, but flat-out speed, Flink against Flink. In the process, we learned a lot about what it takes to go fast. Some of the lessons were ones that we had “learned” a number of times before: – the bottleneck isn’t where you thought it was – copying data is expensive – context switches are expensive – measure twice, cut once But there were some real surprises along the way. The really important knobs weren’t quite what people say you should turn. One of the biggest surprises was the degree to which high performance libraries have threading built into them which makes the actual concurrrency much higher than the apparent concurrency. The result was that at least one cluster parameter needed to be adjusted by 30x to get real
How to Develop Discussion Materials for Public DialogueEveryday Democracy
Good discussion materials help people explore a complex, public issue from a wide range of views, and find solutions that they can agree to act on and support. Discussion materials don’t have to provide all the answers; instead, they provide a framework and a starting place for a deep, fair discussion where every voice can be heard.
The step-by-step instructions provided here mirror the order that many discussion guides follow. They are designed to help the writing team move through a series of meetings and tasks to produce the discussion materials.
Open Space is one way to enable all kinds of people, in any kind of organization, to create inspired meetings and events. It then goes on to create inspired organizations where ordinary people work together to create extraordinary results with regularity.
In Open Space meetings, participants create and manage their own agenda around a central theme of strategic importance, such as: What is the strategy that all stakeholders in the organization can support and work together to create? OR How can we re-ignite passion in our company and look forward to building a future that engages all?
You’ve been to your fair share of meetings and conferences where you either leave uninspired, or you’re energized while you’re there, but the energy fails to translate long term back at the office.
Open Space replaces traditional meeting methods and brings life back to the organization and the organization back to life.
Open Space enables all kinds of people, in any type of organization, to create inspired communities, where ordinary people work together to create extraordinary results with regularity.
Open Space can be scheduled for 3 hours to 3+ days, and can include 5 to 2500+ people.
Open Space works best when:
• the work to be done is complex
• the people and ideas involved are diverse
• the passion for ideas and resolution (and even potential for conflict) are high
• and the time to get it done was yesterday
Participants create and manage their own agenda around a central theme of strategic importance, such as:
What is the plan of action that all stakeholders in the organization can support and work together to create?

A Community for All Generations - Teens and Adults Working TogetherEveryday Democracy
The purpose of this discussion guide is to create an opportunity for teens and adults to talk together, and find ways to make our community a place where young people can grow up successfully. Most public issues involve and affect young people as well as adults. But there if often little chance in most communities for all of us to work together on community problems in a positive and respectful way.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Leadership forum Open Space Technology presented by Colleen Jack
1. Open Space conferences have:
• No keynote speakers
• No pre-announced schedules of workshops
• no panel discussions
Participants create their own conference,
they become teachers and leaders.

2. The issues that are most important to people will get
discussed.
The issues raised will be addressed by the participants best
capable of getting something done about them.
All of the most important ideas, recommendations,
discussions, and next steps will be documented in a report.
When sufficient time is allowed, the report contents will be
prioritized by the group.
Participants will feel engaged and energized by the process.

3. There is a real issue of concern, that it is something worth talking
about.
A high level of complexity, such that no single person or small group
fully understands or can solve the issue.
A high level of diversity, in terms of the skills and people required for
a successful resolution.
Real or potential conflict, which implies that people genuinely care
about the issue.
A high level urgency, meaning the time for decisions and action was
"yesterday"

4. A relatively safe neutral environment.
High levels of diversity and complexity in terms of the elements
to be self-organized.
Living at the edge of chaos.
An inner drive towards improvement.
Sparsity of connections.

5. Whoever comes are the right people.
Whenever it starts is the right time.
Wherever it happens is the right place.
Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
When it's over, it's over.

6. If you find yourself in a situation where you aren't learning
or contributing, go somewhere else, "Don't waste time!"
Bumblebees: people who "flit" from meeting to meeting.
These people can pollinate and cross-fertilize, lending
richness and variety to the discussions.
Butterflies: are participants who go off and sit by
themselves. Butterflies create quiet centres of non-action
for stillness, beauty, novelty or random conversations to
be born.

7. At the beginning of Open Space facilitation, the participants sit
in concentric circles in large groups.
The lead facilitator, in about 15 minutes, briefly states the
overview of the session, the theme of their gathering and
technique.
TYPICAL MEETING PROCESS

8. Participants raise topics, write it on a sheet of paper and
announce it to the group.
These topics becomes the agenda for the meeting.
This process usually takes about 30 minutes.
Proposing an area for discussion, and taking responsibility for
it does not require that the proposer be an expert.
Possible that the proposer could be virtually ignorant of the
subject and was looking for some people with whom to share
the ignorance and develop some knowledge.
CREATING THE AGENDA

P a t t e r n W o r k s
9. Whoever posts a topic, the system expects that there is real passion
for the issue and can start the discussion on it.
Without passion, nobody is interested.
Without responsibility, nothing will get done.
The facilitator reminds the group that if nothing occurs to someone,
that is OK, and if someone has more than one issue, that is OK too.
In Open Space, people come together around topics they care about.
Voluntary self-selection is the absolute sine qua non for participation
in the Open Space event

10. After people have stood to announce their sessions
these topics are listed as specific discussion groups.
Each discussion group has a specific time and place for
groups to gather and talk.
“COMMUNITY BULLETIN

P a t t e r n W o r k s
11. Participants sign up and attend individual sessions.
People have time to discuss, negotiate, combine similar topics.
Move sessions around so that people can attend the key
sessions of their choice.
The first meetings begin immediately.
A number of groups run simultaneously.
“THE VILLAGE MARKET
PLACE”

P a t t e r n W o r k s
12. The facilitators designate a volunteer to record critical,
important ideas and points.
Any participant can access the content of the discussion at all
times.
All discussion reports are compiled in a document on site
sent to participants, unedited, shortly after.
CAPTURING THE MAGIC

P a t t e r n W o r k s
13. Sessions take as long as necessary.
Typically last for 1.5 hours.
Work is directed by a "theme“, "purpose" or "invitation" that is
carefully articulated.
Facilitators outline in advance a clear schedule of breakout
times,
and spaces where topics are to be discussed.
SESSION DURATION

14. The facilitator typically remains largely in the background,
exerting no control over meeting content or participants
though supporting the compiling of the document produced by
participants.
Small groups might create agendas of only a few issues.
No limit exists on the number of issues that the meeting can
post.
Very large groups have many sessions running concurrently.
