Creating a Culture of Learning in the New YearAndrew Slutzky
A culture of learning isn’t all about technology or blending face-to-face (F2F) with online experiences. It’s not dependent on social media or boastful trends. A culture of learning is about building—in a thoughtful, systematic way—a structure and vision for enabling employees to do their best.
Humans Not Zombies: Identity-Based Content Strategy for More Engaging WebsitesMelissa Eggleston
This document contains the slides from a presentation by Melissa Eggleston on using organizational identity and avoiding "zombie traits" in website content strategy. Some key points from the presentation include developing an identity statement describing the organization's core values, using that identity to guide high-level content strategy and ensure page-level content supports those values, and avoiding traits like confusing, haphazard, or indistinguishable content that could make an organization's online presence resemble a "zombie." The presentation provides examples and tips for establishing an identity and developing meaningful content aligned with that identity.
Taking strategy and making it understandable and visible can be really hard - especially in an agile product build environment. The content canvas is a tactic to make strategy more accessible. Learn what it looks like and how it can be applied.

Nailing Pinterest: It's Not All Wedding Dresses and DessertsJackie Vetrano
For many institutions, Pinterest is considered a “secondary” social media platform; one that’s handed off to the student intern, or something that you don’t even want to touch. Although Pinterest has a stereotypically niche audience (hint: it includes muffin-top-busting workouts and DIY projects), it’s not something to count out of your social media strategy. Jackie Vetrano of Skidmore College explains how she took Pinterest from a tertiary platform to the front of the college’s social media strategy, and the lessons learned.

Content modelling: Making content smarterAngus Gordon
Structured content allows platforms like Facebook to personalize the user experience. Content modelling identifies opportunities to structure unstructured website content by documenting a coherent content model. This includes defining content types, fields, and relationships. Content modelling has benefits like improving content consistency, maintenance, and future-proofing. It is best done collaboratively by a content strategist and developer. When starting content modelling, ask what the main content types are, what fields they need, and how they relate.

See Catherine Toole's recent presentation from the B2B Marketing Conference 2014: I’m sorry I haven’t a clue. Clever ways to get more from colleagues who don’t get content.
You’re in b2b marketing. It’s a complex product. It’s a complex sales cycle. You’re expected to generate leads, deepen relationships and increase conversions through content. But very few people in the company ‘get’ content. They want tactical stuff. They want to go viral. They want results. But the investment isn’t there; neither is the understanding. Not to mention the dearth of resource and original ideas…
But wait – there is light at the end of this tunnel (and leads to be put in your funnel). Find out how to revolutionise your internal content culture, gamify idea generation and get everyone actively behind your content strategy.

Better Together: Content Strategy and Design #CSFORUM16Rebekah Baggs
Imagine a future where siloed departments and legacy workflows don’t stand in our way. Today’s content is complex, interconnected, and needs to be ready for devices we haven’t even dreamed of yet. Tomorrow isn’t going to get any simpler. Successful outcomes demand a new kind of collaboration.
For the past three years, Rebekah Cancino has studied how successful teams collaborate on content decisions, and helped transform the way content strategists, designers, and developers work and produce together.

While growth hacking can involve tedious work, a motivated team supported by each other can implement sustainable strategies leading to significant growth.

FRESH CONTENT
When it comes to food, organic is all the rage.
There are whole sections of the grocery store focused
on organic fruits and vegetables. It’s featured front and
center on packaging. And it comes with a premium price.
In business, though, it’s the inorganic growth we talk about
most: mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, takeovers. Those are the stories that fill the news and grab the headlines. And they can be powerful tools, as Frank Tait writes about in this issue.
But what if we put just a little more focus on organic
growth, on thinking about how we can leverage the products,
organizations, processes, customers, markets, etc. already in
place to drive growth? With the right focus, could we move
beyond slow and steady growth and really start to drive the
numbers and scale our business naturally?
Those were the driving questions as we put together this
issue of Pragmatic Marketer and why we’ve gathered a
team of thought leaders to talk about everything from how
to cultivate the right employees to how to grow through
segmentation. And as always, we’ve tried to include
actionable tools and tips you can implement immediately. So
grab a coffee and dig in!
Happy reading,

Do you know how the ultra affluent use social media? Find out.The Social Executive
The social media real estate you put time into is as important as the suburb you invest in. The right place at the right price is what gives good returns.
For time-poor professionals looking to start out in social media the sheer number of platforms to choose from can feel overwhelming – LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Google Plus? It’s a bit like selecting the ‘all suburbs’ search when you are trying to find somewhere to live.
While I am loathe to suggest one platform to the exclusion of others (because together they create an amplification effect) if you’re a professional or need to reach high net worth individuals then research suggests that a great place to live is LinkedIn.
This is why.

Generation Innovation has a drive to create things others love and considers failure an opportunity to improve. Innovation is now the engine of growth rather than an afterthought. Leaders must balance efficiency with experimentation and embrace invention through a process of testing and learning from failures. The key behaviors for leaders are being creative, ambitious, insightful, energizing, driven, experimental and analytical. The real value of innovation is learning how to continuously create new businesses.

Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Deb Bryant - Open Source Initiative, Patrick Masson - Apereo Foundation, Stephen Jacobs - Rochester Institute of Technology, Ruth Suehle - SAS, & Greg Wallace - FreeBSD Foundation
Title: Open Source and Public Policy
Abstract: New regulations in the software industry and adjacent areas such as AI, open science, open data, and open education are on the rise around the world. Cyber Security, societal impact of AI, data and privacy are paramount issues for legislators globally. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic drove collaborative development to unprecedented levels and took Open Source software, open research, open content and data from mainstream to main stage, creating tension between public benefit and citizen safety and security as legislators struggle to find a balance between open collaboration and protecting citizens.
Historically, the open source software community and foundations supporting its work have not engaged in policy discussions. Moving forward, thoughtful development of these important public policies whilst not harming our complex ecosystems requires an understanding of how our ecosystem operates. Ensuring stakeholders without historic benefit of representation in those discussions becomes paramount to that end.
Please join our open discussion with open policy stakeholders working constructively on current open policy topics. Our panelists will provide a view into how oss foundations and other open domain allies are now rising to this new challenge as well as seizing the opportunity to influence positive changes to the public’s benefit.
Topics: Public Policy, Open Science, Open Education, current legislation in the US and EU, US interest in OSS sustainability, intro to the Open Policy Alliance

Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScriptAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Phil Nash - Sonar
Title: Total ReDoS: The dangers of regex in JavaScript
Abstract: Regular expressions are complicated and can be hard to learn. On top of that, they can also be a security risk; writing the wrong pattern can open your application up to denial of service attacks. One token out of place and you invite in the dreaded ReDoS.
But how can a regular expression cause this? In this talk we’ll track down the patterns that can cause this trouble, explain why they are an issue and propose ways to fix them now and avoid them in the future. Together we’ll demystify these powerful search patterns and keep your application safe from expressions that behave in a way that is anything but regular.

Title: What Does Real World Mass Adoption of Decentralized Tech Look Like?
Abstract: We delve into the transformative potential of decentralized technology. Beginning with a brief overview of the rise of centralization with the advent of the internet and the counter-shift marked by blockchain we explore the intrinsic characteristics of decentralized and distributed systems, such as trustless operations, peer-to-peer networks, and enterprise application scalability. Various sectors, including finance, supply chains, media and entertainment, data science and cloud infrastructure are on the brink of disruption. The societal implications are vast, with the potential for greater individual empowerment, a greener planet and more viable resource utilization, but concerns about data security persist.

Presented by Paul Brebner - Instaclustr (by Spot by NetApp)
Title: Spinning Your Drones with Cadence Workflows, Apache Kafka and TensorFlow
Abstract: In this talk we’ll build a Drone delivery application, and then use it to do some Machine Learning “on the fly”.
In the 1st part of the talk, we'll build a real-time Drone Delivery demonstration application using a combination of two open-source technologies: Uber’s Cadence (for stateful, scheduled, long-running workflows), and Apache Kafka (for fast streaming data).
With up to 2,000 (simulated) drones and deliveries in progress at once this application generates a vast flow of spatio-temporal data.
In the 2nd part of the talk, we'll use this platform to explore Machine Learning (ML) over streaming and drifting Kafka data with TensorFlow to try and predict which shops will be busy in advance.

Title: Scaling Web Applications with Background Jobs: Takeaways from Generating a Huge PDF
Abstract: Do you need to perform time-consuming or CPU-intensive processes in your web application but are concerned about performance? That’s where background jobs come in. By offloading resource-intensive tasks to separate worker processes, you can improve the scalability of your web application.
In this talk, I'll share my experience of using background jobs to scale our web application. I'll discuss the challenges my team faced that led us to adopt background jobs. Then, I'll share practical tips on how to design background jobs for CPU-intensive or time-consuming processes, such as generating huge PDFs and batch emailing. I'll wrap up by going over the performance and cost tradeoffs of background jobs.
I'll use Typescript, Express, and Heroku as examples in this talk, but the concepts and best practices that I'll share are applicable to other languages and tools.

Title: Supercharging tutorials with WebAssembly
Abstract: sandbox.bio is a free platform that features interactive command-line tutorials for bioinformatics. This talk is a deep-dive into how sandbox.bio was built, with a focus on how WebAssembly enabled bringing command-line tools like awk and grep to the web. Although these tools were originally written in C/C++, they all run directly in the browser, thanks to WebAssembly! And since the computations run on each user's computer, this makes the application highly scalable and cost-effective.
Along the way, I'll discuss how WebAssembly works and how to get started using it in your own applications. The talk will also cover more advanced WebAssembly features such as threads and SIMD, and will end with a discussion of WebAssembly's benefits and pitfalls (it's a powerful technology, but it's not always the right tool!).

Title: Using SQL to Find Needles in Haystacks
Abstract: Database journal files capture every update to a database. A database of a few hundred GB can generate GBs worth of journal files every minute at busy times. Troubleshooting and forensices, especially of rare and intermittent problems, such as which process made what update and when, is an exercise of finding needles in haystacks. A similar problem exists with syslogs. A solution is to load the journal files and syslogs into a database, and use SQL to query the database. Bhaskar will present and demonstrate this with a 100% FOSS stack.

Title: Scaling an Open Source Sponsorship Program
Abstract: We already know this: the open-source ecosystem needs further monetary investment from the companies that benefit most from it. Likewise, companies say they want to participate in these initiatives, but find it hard to dedicate resources to open source funding when there isn’t a clear ROI.
This talk discusses how the Open Source Program Office at Stripe built a scalable, sustainable open source sponsorship model that aligns internal company incentives with those of open source maintainers and the community at large. We go over the unique “platformization” of our OSPO that allowed us to create multiple funding models, such as BYOB (Bring Your Own Budget), and share lessons learned from this experience as well as other OSPOs.

Build Developer Experience Teams for Open SourceAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Arundeep Nagaraj - Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Title: Build Developer Experience Teams for Open Source
Abstract: Open Source has become the default strategy for many IT organizations and Enterprises. However, the constant challenge with Open Source leaders of these organizations has been -
How is my product's developer experience?
Is this the right metric to track?
How can I scale my team to support our products better?
How can I add automation to scale redundant workflows?
If my product involves working with developers, how can I scale to the complexity of the requests and reduce Engineering bandwidth?
The challenges within support of open source products continues to magnify depending on the end user persona whether they are consumers or contributors to your product. Consumers utilize your product, SDK's and API's and are blocked with using it or run into issues, whereas contributors are advanced users of your software that understands the codebase to provide a meaningful contribution back to the product.
The answer to the above is to look at Open Source support as a first-class citizen of your corporate support strategy. To employ the right level of developer focused support as opposed to traditional infrastructure based support is key to scale to the amount of developers using your product. Supporting customers in the open involves more than pure support - building customer / developer experiences (DX) in the open (across platforms and communities) that pivots over the ability of your product's users or developers to be focused on the end-to-end value add. This helps with your active developer growth and retention of users.
Key Takeaways:
- IT leaders of Open Source will learn to employ strategies to build a DX team that engages on multiple platforms
- Work on identifying accurate metrics for product and organization
- Innovate on platforms such as Discord to build a bot and a dashboard
- Ability to leverage customer feedback and iterate over the customer success flywheel
- Distinguish between DX and Developer Advocacy (DA)

Sudo – Giving access while staying in controlAll Things Open
Presented at All Things Open 2023
Presented by Peter Czanik - One Identity
Title: Sudo – Giving access while staying in control
Abstract: Sudo is used by millions to control and log administrator access to systems, but using the default configuration only, there are plenty of blind spots. Using the latest features in sudo let you watch some previously blind spots and control access to them. Here are four major new features, which arrived since the 1.9.0 release, allowing you see your blind spots:
- configuring a working directory or chroot within sudo often makes full shell access redundant
- JSON-formatted logs give you more details on events and are easier to act on
- relays in sudo_logsrvd make session recording collection more secure and reliable
- you can log and control sub-commands executed by the command run through sudo
Let us take a closer look at each of these.
Previously, there were quite a few situations where you had to give users full shell access through sudo. Typical examples include when you need to run a command from a given directory, or running commands in a chroot environment. You can now configure the working directory or the chroot directory and give access only to the command the user really needs.
Logging is a central role of sudo, to see who did what on the system. Using JSON-formatted log messages gives you even more information about events. What is even more: structured logs are easier to act on. Setting up alerting for suspicious events is much easier when you have a single parser to configure for any kind of sudo logs. You can collect sudo logs not only by local syslog, but also by using sudo_logsrvd, the same application used to collect session recordings.
Speaking of session recordings: instead of using a single central server, you can now have multiple levels of sudo_logsrvd relays between the client and the final destination. This allows session collection even if the central server is unavailable, providing you with additional security. It also makes your network configuration simpler.
Finally, you can log sub-commands executed from the command started through sudo. You can see commands started from a shell. No more unnoticed shell access from text editors. Best of all: you can also intercept sub-commands.
These are just a few of the most prominent features helping you to watch and control previous blind spots on your systems. See these and other possibilities in action in some live demos during our presentation.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
How to Interpret Trends in the Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart.pdfChart Kalyan
A Mix Chart displays historical data of numbers in a graphical or tabular form. The Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart specifically shows the results of a sequence of numbers over different periods.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

APPLYING ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES
TO TRANSFORM MARKETING
Open Marketing (OM) is about creating a new approach to
engaging internal and external audiences.
Red Hat is testing this concept by embracing what is in our
DNA and delivering the value of ‘open’ in more ways
beyond software.
‘Open’ sets us apart as a company, and this is a way for us
to share that outwardly.

OPEN MARKETING WILL...
● Transform how marketing operates.
● Use the power of internal and external communities to
lead to more meaningful results
● Empower us to stand for something bigger than just
software.

A FEW ASKS
9
1) You are going to eat lunch anyway - take a marketer out for coffee or
lunch (they may even pay)
2) Get social online. Follow marketing leaders at your organization and
in your industry - and engage with them.
3) Read a few books to understand the world from a marketer’s
perspective.
