As publishers, have we made a Faustian bargain, exchanging revenue for our readers' security & privacy?
How can we shift online advertising (in particular programmatic) to be more compatible with user privacy in the era of the GDPR and the additional privacy laws undoubtedly coming?

Start a Student Storychasr Club (OTA - EncycloMedia 2013)Wesley Fryer
There are lots of wonderful things happening in your school every week, but often those stories aren’t documented and shared with parents and other members of your community. Interactive websites and social media tools, which permit student-created content to be MODERATED by teachers before it’s published publicly, allows schools to create dynamic news websites where students “tell the stories of our community.” Come learn how you can get a Student Storychasers Club started which can provide opportunities for students to develop digital literacy skills alongside traditional literacy skills as school journalists. Come hear the story of how 4th and 5th grade students and teachers at Lakeview Elementary, in Yukon Public Schools, successfully started an after-school Storychasers Club in 2013. Students learned how to write and publish short news articles, record audio interviews, and create short “quick edit” videos using iPads. Learn how to replicate this successful program at your school! Access session resources on http://storychasers.org/clubs.
For Access 2009 conference. Grab a bucket, it's raining data! Library data, research data, primary data, mashed-up data, raw data, cooked data, our data, other people's data... But which bucket should we grab? And can we really, truly fit all the data in one bucket? And don't we risk turning data into sludge if we mix it all together in our bucket? Finding a bucket is the easy part. Grappling with data acquisition, modeling, discovery, and reuse is hard. How will we do it? Can we?

Taking Back What and From Whom?: Imagined Communities and Role of WordPress i...John Eckman
“Taking Back The Open Web” is a bold theme, but every word in that sentence requires some significant unpacking if we’re to agree on a path forward. From whom is the open web being taken back? Who took it from us in the first place? What do we mean by open, and do we really mean “web” here?
Dries’s version of the open web (to which the CFP linked) is a vaguely defined point in the recent past where “the web felt like a free space that belong to everyone.” Anil Dash’s version, which he calls “The Web We Lost” posits a time when the web was about “letting lots of people build innovative new opportunities for themselves” which has been replaced by a system which “continues to make a small number of wealthy people even more wealthy” via “narrow-minded, web-hostile products.” The call for papers for this conference, with a focus on publishers, points to “stress” caused by “proprietary formats which enforce limits and restraints.” There’s even an Open Web Foundation (founded in 2004) dedicated to “open, non-proprietary specifications for web technologies,” to which primary subscribers are Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
Is the conflict between the open web and the (presumably) closed web which opposes it, really about formats? Is it about access and distribution? Is it about a small number of powerful corporate overlords versus inspired, creative small business entrepreneurs?
In this talk I’ll lay out a couple of different ways of thinking about the “open web” we’re after, what each of those visions postulates as the problem, and what solutions emerge from that set of problems. I’ll conclude with some of my own take on how WordPress as itself an “imagined community” (cf. Benedict Anderson’s 1983 book) can and should contribute to shaping the future of the web. (Hint: It’s about democratizing publishing through open source AND community).
WordPress powers 22% of the web (or more - as much as 23.1% when I actually delivered this talk). However, as professionals in the WordPress community, we have to be wary of spending too much time talking to each other, and not enough time engaging with other communities.
What are the people who don't use WordPress doing? Static site generation, lightweight hosted platforms, other open source platforms, proprietary software - there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of other ways to solve the problems WordPress tries to solve.
If we don't avail ourselves of the conversations happening outside the WordPress fishbowl, we'll miss out on opportunities for true collaboration and innovation.

While the community (rightly) celebrates the tremendous growth of WordPress as a platform, there’s a significant disconnect between what community members know about WordPress and what folks outside the community know.
Getting outside the WordPress bubble – by participating meaningfully in other conferences, conversations, and communities – helps bring new ideas into our community and also helps us bring WordPress into new contexts.
"These Fragments I Have Shored Against My Ruins": Modernism, Post-Modernism, ...John Eckman
Why do we keep trying to make the web back into print?
This talk mines the philosophical shift from Modernism to Post-Modernism, with stops along the way at the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, for clues to understanding the digital sands shifting under our own feet
The Uncanny Valley presentation has been updated with new robots. It was presented as a 10 minute short presentation at UX Australia conference, held in Canberra on Thursday 28th to Friday 29th of August 2009.
We’ve all heard that content is king, yet when it comes to designing web experiences we’re still stuck with lorem ipsum and placeholder images, as though the real content didn’t matter.
We’re still designing web experiences from the top down, starting with the desktop view of the homepage, even though they’re more likely to be experienced from the bottom up – starting with a content detail page on a mobile device.
Designing from the content out means starting with atomic elements of content, and building a system of components and layouts based on the real structure of content.
Orientate parents to our changing world driven by technology. Use this presentation along with roadtrips to various social media sites using your computer, mobile phone, and tablet showing how people seamlessly move among the tools interacting with others, sharing, etc. Emphasize the important of parents learning to drive these tools so they can teach and support their kids online. Don't be afraid and ban, rather learn, embrace, and guide.
Presented by Stephanie Rieger at Breaking Development in Dallas, April 11 2011 and Mobilism in Amsterdam, May 12, 2011.
Context is often cited as the single most important factor in design for the mobile medium. Mobile devices are of course 'mobile', but they are also small, always on, always with us, and can instantly connect us to the people we love. Mobile services must therefore be simple, social, and well-focussed--enabling us to quickly get things done on even the smallest screens.
This is all well and good, but mobile devices have changed. They may be mobile, but many have already stopped being 'phones'—nor do they resemble what we traditionally think of as computers. This presentation will explore how our use, and perception of mobile devices is changing, and how these changes may impact how we should design for them going forward.

Don't fear the block: Gutenberg is gettin' goodJohn Eckman
As presented at WordCamp NYC on Sept 14th, 2019.
Now that we’re more than six months past the Gutenlaunch, how is the new WordPress editor faring in the real world?
In short, the answer is brilliantly.
In this talk I go through some of the most exciting and interesting developments on and around Gutenberg, including real production examples from our clients as well as others.
We’ll cover core blocks, block libraries, block-aware-themes, and custom blocks.
If you’ve held back from embracing the block, come see why it’s time to start planning your own gutenswitch.
There's a Reason We Call Them Institutions: Working in Higher Education Witho...John Eckman
I’ve consulted with lots of institutions of higher education. Each was convinced that they were a unique snowflake, and that their challenges could not possibly be understood by any outsider. In fact, I’ve found there’s remarkable similarity across many (though of course not all) campus teams as they strategize, design, develop, and maintain their web presence.
Diffuse Authority
Audience Ambiguity
Site Proliferation & Content Accumulation
Team Turnover: The Revolving Door & The Lifers
Training Insufficiency
For each we’ll talk about what the dysfunction is and what strategies you might use to mitigate its impact.
Working the Open: Open Source in an AgencyJohn Eckman
Why should agencies contribute to and participate in open source projects? How can they benefit from their participation?
Examples from 10up's own Open Source Practice
GDPR FTW, or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Privacy By DesignJohn Eckman
At the start, the web was purely stateless – every request was the beginning (and every response the end) of a new conversation. Then we got cookies, so that servers could remember clients, and SSL so we could share information with servers that wasn't seen by all the servers it passed through en route. These two technologies enabled e-commerce and are so foundational now it is hard to imagine the web without them. The problem is the way we'e evolved the web has been down a path of increasingly aggressive data collection and reduced transparency for users.
We should have always been doing privacy by design, data portability, data transparency, and the right to be forgotten. We should not have become dependent on invasive ad tech and aggregated third-party data; we should not have handed over ownership of our own social graphs and connections so cheaply to private commercial interests.
While many (particularly in the US) may be uncomfortable with the legalistic and regulatory approach, preferring a more laissez-faire, self-governing model for virtually everything, the GDPR can be seen as an opportunity to start doing things right – applying the core principles of privacy by design not just where mandated by regulation but as a standard business practice.
The Blob, the Chunk, & the Block: Structured Content in the Age of GutenbergJohn Eckman
Content strategists distinguish between storing content in unstructured “blobs” and storing content in structured “chunks.” Where do Gutenberg “blocks” fit in? How is Gutenberg-edited content stored, and how do we get the benefits of blocks without going all blobby?
WordPress is the dominant CMS of the web, but still struggles to find acceptance in many Enterprises.
One reason is the lack of clear paths for personalization and content targeting – features which are heavily promoted in platforms like Adobe Experience Manager and (especially) Sitecore’s Experience Platform.
This talk covers what personalization and content targeting are and multiple ways of achieving both using WordPress as the underlying CMS, as well as of the dangers of personalization projects and ways they can go wrong.
The JSON REST API is something developers in the WordPress community have been very excited about for years. But what can your teams and clients actually use it to accomplish? What's it actually for?
Alternate Title: Who is JSON, and Why Do I Care How Much REST He Gets?
What "The Four Agreements" can teach us about avoiding drama in the WordPress community. 1) Be impeccable with your word; 2) Don't take anything personally; 3) Don't make assumptions; 4) Always do your best
Distributed, not Disconnected: Employee Engagement for Remote CompaniesJohn Eckman
Just because your employees don't all come to the same physical location doesn't mean they can be engaged. Distributed teams have needs much like co-located teams, and there are some additional steps you can take to drive employee engagement.
Facebook Instant Articles, Apple News, and Accelerated Mobile Pages all offer new distribution opportunities to address the limitations of today's mobile web experience.
What are these new distribution channels and how can marketers and publishers leverage them?
What’s wrong with the traditional approach to requirements definition and how a more proactive, collaborative, prototype and visualization driven approach generates better results.
Client Diplomacy: From Adversaries to AlliesJohn Eckman
Lightning Talk (10 minus) presented at WordCamp NYC at the UN
Too often in web design and development we treat clients as the enemy - irritating, ill-informed, pointy-haired-boss style business people who don't "get" what we do.
If instead we treated clients as our allies, and aligned our interests to theirs - recognizing that their success is out ultimate goal - we'd achieve better outcomes.
WordPress as a CMS Platform: Gilbane 2015John Eckman
While WordPress powers now 25% of the web, enterprise customers often overlook the platform as a content management system.
WordPress can be used for more than "simple" blogs or news sites: it supports custom content types, meta data, and taxonomies; has a robust API for managing user permissions, content states, and workflow; handles multilingual and multinational use cases easily; supports multisite networks (and networks of networks); offers a JSON REST API in addition to XML-RPC and CLI options; and can be integrated with enterprise class search engines like Elastic Search and SOLR.
Don't allow the deliberate simplicity of the WordPress "out of the box" experience or the focus on usability for content editors to overshadow the incredible power of the core platform and well established APIs.
WordPress and the Enterprise DisconnectJohn Eckman
While the WordPress community rightly celebrates powering > 24% of the web, Enterprise customers have a drastically different perspective.
How can we more effectively sell Enterprise clients on the benefits of WordPress, without losing the ease of use and simplicity that has made WordPress great?

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.
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

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.

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.

advertising is wasted; the trouble
is I don’t know which half.”

9. “One day in June 1994, Lou Montulli sat down at his
keyboard to fix one of the biggest problems facing the
fledgling World Wide Web -- and, as so often happens in
the world of technology, he created another one. . . .
The solution called for each Web site's computer to place
a small file on each visitor's machine that would track
what the visitor's computer did at that site. . . . It was a
turning point in the history of computing: at a stroke,
cookies changed the Web from a place of
discontinuous visits into a rich environment in which to
shop, to play . . . Cookies fundamentally altered the
nature of surfing the Web from being a relatively
anonymous activity, like wandering the streets of a large
city, to the kind of environment where records of one's
transactions, movements and even desires could be
stored, sorted, mined and sold.” - John Schwartz

counted counts, and not everything

19. “First, we're wiping all advertising off
the Linux Journal site and starting
with a clean slate. . . . Second, if we ever
go back to running ads, they won't be
of the spying kind generally called
‘adtech.' I have been an enemy of
adtech from its start, and for years
have led in the movement to kill it.”

21. So, What Can a Publisher Do?
• Diversify revenue & build direct relationships: Donations, Membership,
Subscription, Paywalls, Events, Ecommerce
• Higher value relationships w/ fewer advertisers. More direct, less programmatic
• Target ads based on context & “zero party” data
• Engage with organizations like The Media Trust or Feroot to monitor for malware
and ads that violate policies for data gathering
• Support industry-wide efforts to reform
