Managing the SharePoint RFP - a Business Communication Case StudyMelanie Nelson
This is my first version of comparing communicating in the work place with communicating in relationships. Specifically, this presentation examines a business case centered around a SharePoint 2013 deployment, an upgrade and migrating some data from a SharePoint 2010 environmental compliance site.
As an intermediary between the environmental company's executive management team and the SharePoint consultants, it is important to consider the different ways of communicating to different audiences. The presentation not only explores those differences, but delves into communication through Active Listening and Problem Solving.
Tools that are explained in both personal and business applications are the Speaker Listener Technique, Managing Expectations, Constructive Griping and the Problem Solving Model.
Whether you are interested in learning more about communication, business application of communication styles, or SharePoint, I encourage you to enjoy the attached slideshow and the upcoming versions :)

15.5 Writing Requests for Proposals
When writing an RFP, be sure to give potential respondents all the information they need in order to craft a meaningful response to your request.
At some point in your career, you might be the one receiving proposals, and learning how to request effective proposals will simplify the process considerably. Various organizations handle RFPs in different ways. When writing an RFP, remember that it is more than just a request; it’s an informational report that provides potential bidders with the information they need to craft effective proposals. Writing an RFP demands careful consideration because it starts a process that leads to a proposal, a contract, and eventually the delivery of a product or the performance of a service. In other words, mistakes at the RFP stage can ripple throughout the process and create costly headaches for everyone involved.
An RFP’s specific content will vary widely from industry to industry, but all RFPs should include some combination of the following elements:9
Company background. Give potential bidders some background information on your organization, your business priorities, and other information they might need in order to respond in an informed manner.
Project description. Put your requirements in context; are you seeking bids for routine supplies or services, or do you need a major computer system?
Requirements. The requirements section should spell out everything you expect from potential vendors; don’t leave anything to unstated assumptions. Will potential vendors provide key equipment, or will you? Will you expect vendors to work under confidentiality restrictions, such as a nondisclosure agreement? Who will pay if costs run higher than expected? Will you require ongoing service or support? Providing this information can be a lot of work, but again, overlooking anything at this point is likely to create considerable problems once the project gets rolling.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.
