The way we work as user experience professionals has changed almost overnight. Keeping your focus and staying connected with coworkers is not just different these days; it’s downright exhausting. We still need to find ways to be productive and collaborate and deliver work inside an unprecedented reality where the lines between work and life are more than blurred; they’re obliterated. Using tried and true strategic methodologies that create workable boundaries to keep professional responsibilities from encroaching too far into the personal sphere, it is possible to strike a structured balance between the two. Bring your willingness to try new things and a designer’s mindset for solving intractable problems, and we’ll all get through this together.

Trikonf 2015 - Community, Studio and the OpenExchangePaul Filkin
Presentation, with a lot of live software and website demos (not included... obviously!), delivered 11 October during the Trikonf conference in Freiburg.
The digital team at Southbank Centre are investigating how to build an ‘Open’ website. The journey started last September with a 10-week stint in a glass box where the team met 100’s of people who visit Southbank Centre. Following this unique experience, the team grew in confidence and decided to open everything up to the public – this included their website vision, processes, thinking, designs, and even the development backlog. They have now created the first version of an open CMS platform that any cultural events organisation could pick up, configure, change and use. In this presentation Rob will explain why the Southbank Centre opened up everything. He will talk about the Glass Box experience and what the team learnt. He will also present the Open Event CMS and how he thinks this approach could fundamentally change how the cultural sector develops future digital platforms.
Rob Gethen Smith is the Chief Information Officer at Southbank Centre where he is responsible for Digital and Technology strategy. He joined Southbank Centre in November 2012. Before this, Rob led business and technology transformation programmes at Tate, Macmillan Cancer Support and WWF-UK.

Goodle Developer Days London 2008 - Open Social UpdatePatrick Chanezon
Updates about the OpenSocial ecosystem at Google developer days London including presentations from Netlog and Viadeo.
OpenSocial is an open specification defining a common API that works on many different social websites, including MySpace, Plaxo, Hi5, Ning, orkut, Friendster Salesforce.com and LinkedIn, among others. This allows developers to learn one API, then write a social application for any of those sites: Learn once, write anywhere.
In addition, in order to make it easier for developers of social sites to implement the API and make their site an OpenSocial container, the Apache project Shindig provides reference implementations for OpenSocial containers in two languages (Java, PHP). Shindig will define a language specific Service Provider Interface (SPI) that a social site can implement to connect Shindig to People, Persistence and Activities backend services for the social site. Shindig will then expose these services as OpenSocial JavaScript and REST APIs.
In this session we will explain what OpenSocial is, show examples of OpenSocial containers and applications, demonstrate how to create an OpenSocial application, and explain how to leverage Apache Shindig in order to implement an OpenSocial container.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
2. MACHINE LEARNING
Machine learning is a form of AI that enables a system to
learn from data rather than through absolute
programming. However, machine learning is not a
simple process. Machine learning uses a variety of
algorithms that iteratively learn from data to improve,
describe data, and predict outcomes
3. What does “open source” mean?
When a project is open source, that means
anybody can view, use, modify, and
distribute your project for any purpose.
4. To understand how it works, imagine your friend is having a potluck, and you bring a cherry pie.
Everybody tries the pie (use)
The pie is a hit! They ask you for the recipe, which you provide (view)
One friend, Alex, who’s a pastry chef, suggests reducing the sugar (modify)
