SharePoint Saturday CT 2015 - Content Types: Love Them or Lose ItMarc D Anderson
For years, one of the most fundamentally powerful capabilities in SharePoint has been Content Types. Content Types should underlie all good information architectures, along with customized metadata (Site Columns) and managed metadata which embodies the taxonomy for *your* organization. Yet far too often SharePoint users simply upload Documents into Document Libraries and wonder why no magic happens.
In this class, we’ll demystify some of these basic SharePoint capabilities to show you how you can really make your Intranet, Team Site, or Publishing Sites sing. It doesn’t matter if you’re on SharePoint 2007, 2010, or 2013, or on SharePoint Online in Office365. With search underlying so much of the value that SharePoint offers these days, a good understanding of these concepts is imperative to ensure your success.
Corporate sector revenue often represents an important or desired income stream for many nonprofits. At the same time, corporations are besieged by requests for funding – and in this environment are much more judicious as to which organizations they support. Within the nonprofit sector, we reach a critical decision point: How will we change our approach in order to improve results?
Learn the six critical factors that you can implement to increase corporate sponsorship and partnership revenue.

SharePoint vs Microsoft Teams vs Office 365 Groups: What Should I Use When?Nikkia Carter
Microsoft technology is moving at a rapid pace. New ways to work are being developed rapidly as well. A few such new tools are Office 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams. These look powerful and promising but they seem similar. Also, where do they fit with SharePoint? In this session, we will look at what each is, what their differences are, and when is the best time to use each.
Presentation shared with the Melbourne Australia-based #M365 Adoption User Group on January 31st, 2022.
Abstract: As organizations investigate the Microsoft Viva offerings and begin to develop their own Employee Experience strategies, one common question is: What can I do today to prepare for these new solutions? In this session, we'll cover the 4 business areas of Microsoft Viva (Culture & Communications, Productivity & Wellbeing, Knowledge & Expertise, Skilling & Growth) and their current (pre-Viva deployment) state, and what can/should be done to prepare for Viva. In addition, we'll walk through the customer and partner resources available to organizations to help you develop a comprehensive strategy.

DrupalCon: Using Drupal to build digital signage solutionsDmitry Drozdik
The YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities is currently building an Internet of Things driven state of the art downtown facility. As part of this project, we are assisting them in developing an omnichannel system for managing content that includes both marketing material and data from third-party systems across digital signage, web, and mobile experiences.
In this session, I will focus on the web-integrated digital signage system for displaying content on digital signage. In this system, we are using the Open Y Drupal distribution to serve as a proxy between resources that provide data about scheduled activities and to manage that content as well as to supplement it with both marketing content and time and location sensitive messaging.
In this session I will talk about:
Business goals and Use Cases - The YMCA is an evolving organization with a wide variety of needs, from member services to marketing, to wellness promotion. With a new facility and new capabilities, we can only predict a portion of the messaging needs that the YMCA will have in-branch.
Software and Hardware components used to build this solution.
Integrations with 3rd party services used while developing this solution.
Architecture - Because of the fundamental lack of control we have over third party services, a strong, flexible architecture that can cover a wide variety of use cases and adapt to changes in data format and service availability is necessary.
Implementation - I will demonstrate how everything comes together and show what you need to implement it, add your own features, and adapt it to new use cases.
After session attendees will learn how Drupal could be used for creating Digital Signage solutions. It should be beneficial for technical people as well as for business.

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:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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.

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.
