- Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 overview
- A look at some popular tools
- Best practices of other charities
- Web 2.0 myths
- Tips on where to get started
How, When, Why to Get Started with Online CommunitySmall World Labs
Organizations of all shapes and sizes are increasingly looking to private online communities as a means to connect with and engage their base. However, building and sustaining a thriving online community is no simple task. In this presentation, we dive into all things "online community."
From a high-level perspective, we provide specific insights into the reasoning for, timing of, and considerations involved with launching an online community. We then highlight a specific use case from a member-based organization that traveled along this path and emerged with a valuable asset for the organization and its members.
The document discusses social networking behavior and how social media has changed online interactions. It provides definitions of social media and how platforms allow for communities to form, opinions to spread widely, and transparency. The rest of the document outlines different social media tool families like social networking, blogs, bookmarks, microblogs, video/image sharing, and widgets. It stresses that companies must understand and embrace these changes or risk losing market share to competitors.
This document summarizes a presentation about using social media and online fundraising. It introduces GlobalGiving, an online fundraising platform. Key points include:
- GlobalGiving connects people with ideas to people who want to support them through donations. It provides tools, support and connections to a network of donors.
- Online fundraising is growing, with all non-profit sectors experiencing double-digit growth since 2009. Most organizations receive at least one online donation over $1,000.
- Building an online fundraising strategy involves identifying your network, driving engagement on social media, setting goals and evaluating results.
- GlobalGiving benefits organizations by providing donor tools, volunteer listings, partnerships, and promotional campaigns. It
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
This document discusses how experts throughout history have failed to accurately predict technological changes and disruptions. It provides many examples of past predictions that turned out to be wrong, such as experts saying the internet and smartphones would not be widely adopted. The document argues it is difficult to know what new technologies will emerge or how existing technologies will be used. Instead of making predictions, it is better to acknowledge the limitations of knowing the future and be open to unexpected changes and disruptions.

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.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
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?
