How to Win Friends and Influence Standards BodiesDomenic Denicola
# How to Make Friends and Influence Standards Bodies
The greatest strength of the web is its openness. But not everyone appreciates how we arrived at the open web of today. A recent trend has cast standards bodies as bureaucracies that never accomplish anything of substance, while the heroic community innovates and implements “from scratch.”
Reality is much less black-and-white: sandboxes like Node.js have received much from the web platform and language that spawned them, and have a lot to contribute back. Standards bodies are composed of implementers and community members willing to engage, not ivory tower philosophers handing down bad, never-tested APIs from on high. And real gains could be made for both sides—with some effort.
This talk is part stories, and part lessons; it’s meant both to teach, and to open the floodgates for collaboration. You’ll hear about ways in which community input has had great impact on the standards process for the better, as in the case of web audio or adding promises to ES6. But you’ll also be taught communication and coalition-building skills that, from what I see, are sorely needed by many community members. How can you get involved and shape the future of the web and JavaScript platforms in a direction that will help everyone? Who are the key players and processes that they follow?
Finally, together we’ll brainstorm on and identify some key areas where your expertise and hard-learned lessons could help the web platform toward future solutions for problems it’s encountered.

What if the reason everyone seems so anti-LMS is that they are not structured correctly? LMS design, as one large single system, is setup to fail the OER community. MOOCs are at least a push in the right direction, but their frameworks are often closed, discouraging open development. If we had truly open, community driven platform for the creation of educational resources, we might see more truly OER materials being created.
This is the position ELMS Learning Network (ELMSLN) takes in its approach to edtech design. ELMSLN takes the major functionality of an LMS and spreads it out across a suite of open source tools. The experience is glued together by single-sign-on technologies like LTI to enable the best system selection for the job without sacrificing user experience.
These tools a built on a framework that includes other open systems such as Drupal and Piwik. Piwik allows for a Google analytics style framework but open source and data is hosted with whoever is utilizing it. This can used both for tracking and general data about students, or for statistical analysis of how effective OER are in reaching different global audiences.
Drupal 7, is a highly flexible yet complex CMS used to power high scale development projects. While Drupal is traditionally difficult to work with, ELMSLN packages it up in such a way that's easy both for code developers and content authors to understand. What it brings with it is a community of experts authoring functionality that can all be utilized to deliver courses and OER. The best part is that by aligning with this community, ELMSLN has access to the knowledge and expertise of thousands of contributed modules and highly trained developers who don't need to have any understanding of edtech in order to help improve it!
ELMSLN also comes packaged with support for LTI 1.0 provider capabilities for integration with current LMS offerings. This enables faculty at existing universities and colleges to keep their materials outside the LMS, yet still securely pass their traditional students through to their content seamlessly. ELMSLN's networked approach to edtech development, can allow OER material to reside in one toolset (out in the open) without fear of opening oneself up to PII or FERPA violations.
Part of the resistance to OER production is the technical and privacy barriers to participation, which are at the heart of how ELMSLN has been constructed. Attendees will walk away with a sense of the transformative nature of Drupal, who's using ELMSLN and how to get involved.

These (still) aren't the SCs you're looking for ... (mis)adventures in WCAG 2...Patrick Lauke
WCAG is supposed to give us a reasonably objective way of saying whether or not the sites we are building/auditing are "accessible" (to a particular baseline). However, they are only as useful as our understanding and interpretation of the guidelines' normative text. And, of course, it is not perfect - with some omissions, handwaving, and straight-up loopholes. So where does this leave developers and auditors?
In this talk - a reprise of a previous talk, now updated to cover new SCs from WCAG 2.2 - Patrick may not have all the answers, but he'll have a good rant around the subject anyway...

Vanilla HTML is limiting and boring. Our clients demand highly engaging and interactive web experiences. And wouldn’t you know, with just a bit of HTML and JavaScript we can craft amazing custom controls, widgets and effects that go far beyond the confines of traditional static markup. But how can we ensure that these custom experiences are both understandable and usable for people with disabilities, and in particular those using assistive technologies such as screen readers?
In this talk, we will look at the basics of making some common custom-built components accessible - covering how browsers and assistive technologies interact, the limitations of HTML, and how ARIA can help make interactive experiences more accessible. In addition, we will explore some of the recent additions in ARIA 1.1, as well as some particular challenges when it comes to traditional ARIA patterns and assistive technologies on mobile/tablet/touch devices.

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:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

EXPERIENCES AND IDEAS FROM THE TRENCHES
2. Who am I?
Web Editor (M&C) at University of Salford 2001
responsible for all outward-facing content
one of the first web-standards UK uni sites
accessibility discourse for last 5-6 years
3. About Salford
A variety of web sites make up the salford.ac.uk domain:
core www
4 faculties
12 schools
9 research institutes
37 research centres
13+ support service
... dark matter?
4. How are these sites maintained?
traditionally, one web author per site
no Content Management System
Dreamweaver / Contribute / bespoke admin
systems
5. Role of web author
Covers wide spectrum:
technical post
clerical / administrative
academic
“web / marketing officer”
6. No CMS – a blessing of sorts?
steep initial learning curve
requires technical expertise
helps keep number of authors manageable
7. Flipside of “technical” nature
(for most part) web authors are “techies”
not writers/editors
don't generate “snappy” marketing copy
“web monkeys” handed documents to put
online
8. First step...knowing who authors are
ISD handle requests for new sites
embedded in request process
keeping track of known authors
ideally don't give access until trained
10. Hit them early...
New web authors get:
all guideline documents as pack
templates
(if possible) personal meeting
11. ...hit them often
New and existing authors:
staff training sessions
web clinic
yearly “corroboree”
12. It's not all guidelines
Just mandating rules doesn't work (or requires
very intense QA)
If authors don't understand reasons why, they'll
simply try to break them
13. It's not all guidelines
Moving from
“what can I get away with”
to
“what's the best solution”
14. It's not all guidelines
It's about quality, not compliance
15. How to get authors to follow guidelines?
Making sure that they understand them
“Buy-in” from web authors
16. Accessiblity for those who don't care...
Hypothetical, ethical/moral arguments?
Showing actual benefits!
SEO (particularly for internal search engine)
Use analogies that they can understand (e.g.
Word)
17. Make it easy!
few clear and simple rules/tips to follow
WCAG 1.0 (and “upcoming” WCAG 2.0) not
aimed at actual human beings
remove guesswork / interpretation
adapt guidelines to different skills and needs
18. Make it easy!
Be realistic! 95% accessibility still better than 0%
19. Right tools for the right job
Ready-made templates
CMS / admin systems that facilitate, not hinder
WYSIWYG vs WYSIWYM
“...don't lead us into temptation...”
20. Web authors doing their own QA
Checklists and automated validation ... with
caution
Giving them screen readers?
21. Community of practice
“the process of social learning that occurs when
people who have a common interest in some
subject or problem collaborate over an extended
period to share ideas, find solutions, and build
innovations”
22. Fostering a community of practice
internal mailing list
yearly web “corroboree”
conferences and workshops
“take care of yourselves ... and each other”
create healthy competition
23. Support, rather than enforcement
meet often
discuss potential issues early
act as lightning rod / scapegoat
24. ...but enforce when necessary
no formal central QA process
guidelines with actual clout (management “buy-
in”)
identifying rogues and dealing with them
25. Perfect process?
Far from it, but works reasonably well
Majority of top-level sites ok
There's always one...
