Microsoft Lync Server 2010 provides unified communications and collaboration capabilities. It includes rich audio conferencing, desktop sharing, PowerPoint presentations with animations, whiteboarding, and polling. The conferencing architecture uses separate servers for audio, video, application sharing, and web conferencing, with a focus factory coordinating the conference experience. Conference scheduling is integrated into Outlook and allows customization of access permissions, roles, and lobby controls.

Unified communications is about integrating real-time or near-real time unified messaging and collaboration solutions.
But don't get confused. It's a lot more than making a call over your computer or checking whether someone is on the phone before you make a call.
It’s about looking at how things are done, and doing it better.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

32. Migration and Coexistence
Challenges
• Microsoft Lync Server 2010 changes the impact Interoperability
• Lync 2010 is the only desktop conferencing
• Support for Web based conferencing client (Conference join link moving
to https:// based (from meet:// and conf:// )
• New Conferencing access model
• Federated user treated as external
• Tightened role based application sharing
• New lobby functionality
• New Web conferencing server not backward compatible
• New assigned conference with changed simpler conference URL
• Challenges
• Existing meeting invite for migrated meetings must still work
• Migrated Meetings must work as before
32
33. Migration and Coexistence
Solution – Existing meeting invite for migrated meetings must still
work
Lync Server 2010 server supports live meeting before Lync Server 2010 client
upgrade
• Design
• Lync Server 2010 front end server contains a Lync Server 2010 compatible web
conferencing server
• PSTN dial-in inter-pool transfer
• Admin experience during migration
• Migrate existing meetings for migrated user (DBImport/export, or MoveUser)
• Optionally move Live Meeting content using Lync Server 2010 ResKit tools
• User experience after migration
• Client not updated
• All scheduling functions from OCS 2007 R2 Outlook add-in work
• All conferencing URLs in existing invites work
• Client updated
• All conferencing URLs in existing invites work
• New conferences scheduled generate Lync Server 2010 style invite
• Modifying existing conference invites convert invites into Lync Server 2010 style and
resend
33
34. Migration and Coexistence
Solution – Migrated Meetings must work as before
Lync Server 2010 server support compatibility mode
• Design –Lync Server 2010 front end server provides compatible
behavior for two types of meetings:
• Migrated meetings
• Meetings scheduled on Lync Server 2010 server using previous version
clients
• Admin experience during migration
• No admin action needed
• User experience after migration
• Federated users treated as authenticated user
• Application sharing can be started by anybody in meeting
• No lobby
34
35. Migration and Coexistence
Limitations
• Migrated user gets new assigned PSTN conference ID
• Live Meeting content is not moved automatically with meetings
• Existing CWA 2007 R2 server needs to be kept around
• Meetings scheduled using Lync 2010 clients on Lync Server 2010
server will not work after user is moved back to a previous
version OCS server
