Putting your brand in the palm of consumers:
The ability to reach consumers anywhere at any time has shifted the way advertisers execute campaigns and the way audiences consume media. Beyond the ability to just make calls, personalized mobile computers are tackling commerce and communication in ever increasingly innovative ways. Even between leaving your home and arriving at the office, you can interactive with billboards via your mobile phone with QR codes. With the ability of serving ads across mobile devices now available for agencies, advertisers are finally able to breakthrough existing mobile barriers. Dean Donaldson will examine the need to integrate mobile alongside other digital channels.
The evolution of media:
TV is powerful, but people learn through play. The digital landscape has changed and so have the ways of measuring it. Digital video is set to enhance the capability for brand recall within consumers at a much deeper level then media to date – and is challenging the very concept of mass-media. From BlueRay Live to digital signage the penetration of personal mobile media is about to change our concept of paper. It will offer far more value to advertisers than mere clicks. As the pioneer in rich media and the largest global distributor of video advertising, Dean Donaldson of Eyeblaster will show what we have learned over the last ten years, how brands are now penetrating web 2.0 and a glimpse into where digital media is going next.
Media in the fast lane:
Cross-channel. Mobile Communities. Augmented Reality. Ubiquitous computing. Amongst the buzz we are seeing evidence that all media is getting ready for a digital hyper-drive, fuelled by consumer desire for entertainment-on-demand and always-on-communication. Hidden within this emerging world is the utopian promise of addressable advertising – across all media. Yet set against a backdrop of big brands trending to bring elements of control in-house, Dean Donaldson, Director of Digital Experience at Eyeblaster asks ‘is media technology really set for where next or does reality reveal we are locked in the past?’ and challenges the notion of the purely digital agency

Here is a presentation I used to use a few years ago to help executives get a grip on the need to have a social presence. In order to convince an executive to do something they are not comfortable in doing we need to use "Fear" = we are not keeping pace with my colleagues/competitors "Personal Gain" = I will get something out of this which will help me with the things I value e.g.. KPI metrics, external interests.
Some of the office workers needed to understand what cloud computing is - often cloud has a lot of marketing but its hard to understand what it is in practical terms. I have also added a few slides on Softlayer and IBM passport advantage software.

Towards a sustainable solution to open source sustainabilityTobie Langel
A few years ago, Heartbleed epitomized a massive open source sustainability problem for critical parts of the internet infrastructure. The bug, which affected the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library, notably compromised the confidentiality of 4.5 million US patient records and cost the industry an estimated $500M.
It was soon revealed that the root-cause of the issue was that OpenSSL was precariously understaffed. Open source sustainability became a major theme overnight. Stories of maintainer burn-out made the headlines. And tentative solutions started to emerge, most of them donation-based.
In this talk we'll explore a number of existing strategies to fund open source and make it more sustainable, from patronage to dedicated ad networks. And we'll defend the idea that the best path to open source sustainability is to help companies understand the tangible business value they can get from contributing to open source.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

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!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
