"Neo" this and "Paleo" that ... it's all just "Geo"Gary Gale
"Neo" this and "Paleo" that ... it's all just "Geo", a not entirely serious and somewhat tongue in cheek deck for the "georant soapbox" sessions, presented on September 23rd. 2009 at the Association for Geographic Information GeoCommunity 09 conference in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Presentation was delivered at the American Library Association Annual Conference (Chicago, 2009) under the auspices of ALA's Learning Round Table; it was designed to help participants successfully develop and implement effective mentoring programs in their organizations and led to development of a complete online (asynchronous) course developed for the LE@D project at the University of North Texas (http://www.leadonline.info/index.cfm?pf=/2009/OfferingDetails&OfferingID=112&pfs=CourseObjectives).
We are living in the Digital Age; has your nonprofit joined us? The next five years will see a radical reshaping of the nonprofit landscape, in terms of the technology involved in fundraising, social media communications, internal entrepreneurship, and the future of innovation. This session will investigate the future of fundraising and communication trends; provide instruction on how to hire, train, manage, and inspire “internal entrepreneurial” employees; and provide actionable advice on creating an organization that is primed to grow. Don’t be left in the Dark Ages; join us and learn how to navigate the future of your nonprofit in the Digital Age.
On October 6, 2011, VEI announced it received a strategic investment from PCMA. These are the slides from the press conference. Presenters were:
* Michael Doyle, Executive Director of VEI
* Deborah Sexton, CEO and President of PCMA
* Susan Katz, Board of Directors, PCMA

Velocity EU 2013 What is the velocity of an unladen swallow?pdyball
Seatwave was growing fast, success was unabated, and industry awards were landing on their doormat. Infrastructure had been revamped, load patterns were understood. Everything was going just great…
Until…
The marketing team planned Seatwave’s first UK TV campaign – all regions – simultaneously, but only told the engineering team the day before the first advert was due to run!
10 seconds into the advert the site melted and there was a collective thud as heads hit desks.
It was expensive lesson to learn but also the wake up call that forced everyone in Seatwave to focus on the performance of their site.
In this session we’ll share that pain we experienced, and how we improved performance so that when all our competitors crashed during the UKs largest concert ticket sale, we were able to take 20 days revenue in just 2 hours!
However, maintaining performance is a challenge, product owners want new features, the site starts to put on weight and slowly performance starts to degrade once more.
Will it take another disaster to focus everyone on performance or is there another way to avoid “boom and bust”?
We’ll talk about the steps we’re taking to avoid “boom and bust” by making both performance and the impact performance has on our customers visible to everyone across Seatwave including:
Our Adobe Site Catalyst installation with a custom implementation of the W3C Navigation Timing API allowing us to segment our business KPI’s by speed.
How we’re using a WebPageTest within continuous integration for our QA and production builds.
How we constantly review our performance against competitors using our own installation of the HTTPArchive.
Join us on our quest in search of the Holy Grail of truly understanding how web site performance affects our business, and the processes and systems we are putting in place to ensure we keep speed at the heart of our product development roadmap.
This talk is a celebration of the letter F as regards to software formation. From his first feats in forming friction free software, Josh has been fanatically fighting the furious fight for first class software. This talk is a free flowing fantastic flurry of fulmination about being fearful of failure, focusing on the fixed, forcing feedback and much more… So consider yourself forewarned.

Daniel Judge's Code on the Beach 2015 Session.
A lot of what happens in our career is not because of our technical skills. Instead of worrying about new technologies, we should focus on improving our soft skills. Are you looking to get a promotion or land a better job? You'll need technical skills to get you in the door, but your soft skills will win you the job. We'll dive into areas that help us the most: social skills, professionalism, setting goals, productivity, and staying healthy.

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.
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.
