Open Atrium 2.0: Powerful Tools for NonprofitsPhase2
For nonprofits, trying to manage multiple teams, chapters or affiliates and sharing information among them is vital to achieving your mission. In our Open Atrium for Nonprofits webinar, you will learn how Open Atrium -- a powerful Open Source software platform -- can make collaboration easier and more effective for you and your teams by providing teams a place to discuss ideas, share documents, and coordinate meetings and events.
Tuesday June 25, the Open Atrium team from Phase2 hosted a webinar for nonprofits interested in Open Atrium 2.0. We were joined by long-time nonprofit Open Atrium users Dan Adams from Layton Boulevard West Neighborhoods in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and James Carlson from Bucket Brigade. This presentation includes a demo of Open Atrium 2.0 and discussion about:
* How nonprofits have used Open Atrium to manage their teams and work collaboratively
* How Open Atrium 2.0 can help nonprofits create an intranet, member portal, or project management site
* How to get started trying out Open Atrium and making it work for your organization
Open Atrium 2.0 has robust capabilities for managing communications, knowledge, and teams, but planning is essential to building a great Open Atrium site. Understanding the building blocks of how people, content, permissions, and structure work together in Open Atrium is the first step.
This webinar is for people & teams who are considering using Open Atrium to build an intranet, collaboration site, or communication platform for their business. We'll stay out of deep code conversations and focus on achieving your business goals with Open Atrium.
OOP2016 "The Business Behind Microservices: Organisational, Architectural and...Daniel Bryant
Presented at OOP2016 with Erich Eichinger
The technology changes required when implementing a microservice-based application are only one part of the equation – the business and organisation will often have to fundamentally change. In an ideal world, this shouldn’t be a problem, what with the rise of agile, lean and DevOps, but in reality this is not always the situation. In this talk we will share some stories of successful (and not so successful) strategies and tactics that we have used when introducing microservices into a variety of organisations over the past four years.
Join us for a whistle-stop tour of the business and people challenges that we have experienced first hand when implementing greenfield microservice projects and also breaking down monoliths. We’ll look at ‘divided companies’ vs ‘connected companies’, determine the actual impact of conway's law, briefly touch on the lean startup/enterprise mindset, dive into change management without the management double-speak, and look at the lightweight processes needed to ensure the technical success of a microservices implementation (e.g. DevOps, CD).
The main lessons we're keen to share are from observations on a couple of microservice transformation projects we have been involved in - some where teams have been cross-functional and aligned around strategic objectives, and some where they haven't. The latter proved much more challenging, as we saw single domain models being created and shared around the codebase, unclear service/context boundaries, and ultimately people tripping over each other.

Microsoft teams a four course developer menu - M365 saturday Oct 19Asish Padhy
Microsoft Teams is the fastest growing communications and collaboration platform, and has received tremendous adoption in past few years. At the same time, the development landscape for MS Teams has spanned up to include varied number of solution approaches - apps, bots, connectors, extensions, team provisioning etc. This is great but also has meant that developers are spending more time finding the right option and planning the solution through various stages of implementation.
In order to increase effectiveness in delivery, we have to start planning best fit solution models for the various offerings and put them in smaller roll outs for quicker and smaller builds to reach the end user goal.
In this session, we will look at some of these solution models for each Teams component, pro and cons of each, and then strategies for various team implementations, in way of "The Developer Four course menu", to achieve optimal delivery in a lean and agile way.

A FUTURE-FOCUSED DIGITAL PLATFORM WITH DRUPAL 8Phase2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCx0fx-FWSc
Breaking News: Al Jazeera Builds Future-focused Digital Platform with Drupal 8
Sep 28, 2016 at DrupalCon Dublin
This just in: Al Jazeera Media Network, a leading provider in news and media broadcasting, is investing in its future by building a global, multi-lingual, unified CMS platform to streamline the creation and personalized delivery of news on the newly released Drupal 8 platform. This story is still unfolding!
For a global media network like Al Jazeera, Drupal 8 provides the perfect base for internationalization, future growth, and flexibility. Al Jazeera required a platform that could unify several different content streams and support a complicated editorial workflow, allowing network wide collaboration and search.
In this talk, leaders from the Al Jazeera digital project will go “behind-the-scenes” of the network’s next generation publishing platform. Hear from the Al Jazeera Product Managers and Platform Experts about how the content needs driving the media business can map to the underpinnings of a unified publishing platform. We will explore the technical advantages of Drupal 8, as well as the digital strategy that informed the endeavor. You’ll learn:
● Why Al Jazeera Media Network decided to invest in Drupal 8 as an early adopter
● How to use Deploy, Multi-version, and Replication modules to support an enterprise content repository
● The implications of starting with Lightning as a base distribution
● How Al Jazeera Media Network transformed its editorial workflow with Drupal 8 tools
For anyone working in the digital publishing industry or considering using Drupal 8 for a platform, this session is a must-see!
The Future of Digital Storytelling - Phase2 TalkPhase2
Watch the full talk here: https://www.phase2technology.com/blog/the-future-of-digital-storytelling/
Mike Mangi, Director of Digital Strategy at Phase2, talks about the importance of evoking emotion in storytelling, and the evolution of our use of technology in our quest for ever-more immersive storytelling tools.
He discusses examples of how a story call be told in and across myriad devices from mobile, to wearables, to Augmented and Virtual Reality headsets, to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
He talks about the need for content and experience management systems capable of publishing multi-device, context-optimized content, and the potential to provide solutions with platforms like headless Drupal.
Drupal 8 for Enterprise: D8 in a Changing Digital LandscapePhase2
Check out our white paper on D8 for enterprise: http://phase.to/1i1G7Gg
Today's digital marketplace requires organizations to engage their audiences on the multitude of channels and devices where they consume content. Drupal 8 can be an effective tool for creating a streamlined, multi-channel experience for users, in addition to serving as an adaptive content engine for website platform builders. In this slideshow, we examine the value of Drupal 8 as a flexible content management system (CMS) and how businesses can use it for maximum benefit.
The Yes, No, and Maybe of "Can We Build That With Drupal?"Phase2
Over the last five years, Drupal has made a huge splash in the Government sector and has quickly become the open source CMS platform of choice. If you’re not already using Drupal, it’s likely that it’s come up as an option. It’s a powerful and flexible framework, and because of this the answer to the question ‘Can we build this with Drupal?’ is usually ‘Yes’. That said…your ‘yes’ should sometimes be ‘It depends’.
Understanding the reasons why government has taken interest in Drupal is key to understanding how and where it is best used. Drupal has core strengths that line up with key needs, but there are things it doesn’t do well. How do you make sure that you’re not asking Drupal to do too much? Conversely, even if Drupal is the best choice, how do you make sure your architecture is sound, your project plan is tight, and your business strategy is appropriate?
We’ll look at some case studies from various levels of government from federal to local, examine the challenges faced, and review lessons learned. If your project needs to stretch Drupal to its breaking point, how do you mitigate the technical, project management, and business impacts? How do you weigh the pros and cons of using Drupal when you are planning a project, and what are the key warning signs in an RFP that warn against it? And even when the needs of the client project line up cleanly with Drupal’s core strengths, how do you identify the risk areas when it seems like a match made in heaven?
Drupal is a powerful tool and can transform the work you do, but being educated as to its strengths and weaknesses protects you and your project, whether you are a contractor or contract officer, internal technology team or external developer.
David Spira presents on the importance of user testing and Empathy to deliver an effective product, specifically a contact management app for disaster relief that was later used during the Nepal earthquake in 2015.
Red Hat needed a new pattern library that would be flexible enough to integrate into our current Drupal 7 site, yet powerful enough to build future D7, D8 and other Red Hat branded sites. This pattern library would create a consistent, brand approved, look across all of our web properties, and become a common UI development platform for Designers, UX, Devs and Project managers.
In this case study we’ll explain our architectural approach to deliver dozens of tightly packaged components to Redhat.com and other web properties through a variety of distribution methods.
At Phase2, we do things a little differently when it comes to design. While many teams are stuck in the “design first, develop second, theme last” way of doing things, we link our multidisciplinary teams together by a common vehicle: design systems. Each piece of the system, including our prototyping tools, live within the platform, allowing us to integrate processes like creative design, prototyping, front-end methodology, and implementation. We call this “The New Design Workflow.”
This session will feature a panel of Phase2’s most experienced designers and front-end devs for an inside look at our best practices, tips and tricks. Plus, hear us weigh in how Drupal 8 will interface with your favorite front-end tools like PatternLab.
Drupal 8, Don’t Be Late (Enterprise Orgs, We’re Looking at You)Phase2
After building one of the first enterprise Drupal 8 platforms, we speak from experience when we say: if you are an enterprise organization, you should be seriously considering the move to Drupal 8. For many in the Drupal world, Drupal 8 is still viewed with apprehension. With this panel, we’re here to unveil the D8 mystery.
In the changing CMS landscape, enterprises have a lot to gain from the more decoupled, API-focused content repository that Drupal 8 is evolving toward. Drupal’s paradigm shift will vastly improve the way organizations ingest, store, publish, and distribute content through multiple channels. But is the investment worth it? For the enterprise, our answer is an enthusiastic yes.
In this session, discover:
How Drupal 8’s structure fundamentally changes the way organizations approach platform building
The impact of Drupal 8’s configuration management improvements
The benefits of integrated front-end tools and external libraries
The challenges enterprise organizations will face adopting Drupal 8 (and how to overcome them)
How other enterprise organizations are already harnessing the power of Drupal 8
How to get started!
Memorial Sloan Kettering: Adventures in Drupal 8Phase2
Memorial Sloan Kettering is preparing to launch two websites in Drupal 8. As one of the first organizations to migrate its Drupal 6 content management system onto an enterprise Drupal 8 platform, Memorial Sloan Kettering has learned first hand the major challenges and advantages of building in Drupal 8.
In this session, project members from MSK, Phase2, and Digitas will explore the decision to take the leap to Drupal 8 and the reality of building in D8 while it is still a beta. Get details on the brute force migration process, front-end integrations and wiring up with twig in practice, and community contributions to accelerate Drupal 8 in the process of a flagship redesign for one of the leaders in the healthcare space.
We’ll elaborate on the challenges we faced and strategies we used to build on Drupal 8 and how you can learn from them!
Finally, we’ll answer some of your most burning questions:
How did you accomplish moving an existing Drupal 6 site with 25,000 plus pages of content to Drupal 8 while redesigning at the same time?
Should other organizations consider building in Drupal 8?
What tools and best practices were used by developers/sys admins?
What contrib modules are being used?
How difficult was it for the team to learn Drupal 8?
What is being used for layout and webforms?What external libraries and APIs are being used?

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

66. Implementation: P2 Products
• Recreated Phase2’s Confluence-based product site in Atrium 2.0
• Major functionality needs were around spaces for each product,
groups for community users vs. P2 people, a place for
discussion (without recreating issue queue) and mostly, a home
for documentation.
• Not a complete migration to this new site, but very, very close.
Usable as a demo; a couple of changes from being ready for
prime-time.
