This presentation discusses how small organizations can use websites to engage citizens and achieve their goals. It covers four main topics: the current state of small organizations and the web, ensuring a balanced website, facilitating transactions through a website, and building community loyalty. The key messages are that the internet makes organizing easier and cheaper than ever before, a good website allows people to both like and help an organization, and community features can greatly enhance visitor loyalty to a website.
Are you tired of stacks of papers creating clutter and slowing you down when looking for specific documents? Transitioning to a paperless law office can alleviate these pains and reduce stress in your work environment – it can also create leverage. That’s why we brought in well known attorney and author, Ernest Svenson (aka “Ernie the Attorney“), to explain how to make the switch.
Here are slides from his presentation.

Cloud computing is changing the interaction within businesses and with their clients. Comparison on how the cloud infrastructure is similar to the electrical infrastructure. These changes also affect how virtual work teams work.
So someone signs up for your organization’s communications…now what? Do you have a process in place to follow-up with the people that have expressed an interest in your mission? Join us for a brown bag session where we’ll discuss the systems you need to effectively interact with potential volunteers, donors, and advocates who encounter your organization. We’ll share smart strategies for engaging community supporters.

Intergen Think! Event: Modern Applications for a Modern EnterpriseIntergen
This session is an introduction to the emerging concepts and patterns that are known as “modern applications” and will be of interest to business innovators and solution developers alike.
The modern application is not about any one technology; it is an application that delivers experiences that users have come to expect. It is more than just a consumable piece of software – it’s also the development and delivery of that software.
We review several elements that power this new wave/next generation of applications and identify how the modern enterprise can consider these as part of enabling business value through technology.
7 things about intranets I learnt the hard waySam Marshall
Being an intranet manager can be demanding, and there isn't always someone else to learn from in your organisation. Based on 15 years as an intranet manager / consultant, I share some experiences of where things can go wrong, and how to avoid them:
* Disappearing Stakeholders
* Change comes from leadership not data
* Too much personalization
* When your intranet should look like your org chart
* Forgetting the late-adopters
* Over-zealous Governance
* trying to change everything at once
The current state of Physical and Virtual Meetings. In last half decade, technology has changed enormously and virtual meetings are gaining wide popularity because of its simplicity and cost saving ability.
But, it cannot extinct out physical meetings as they are as important as the virtual ones.
So. let's see the nature and current state of both type of meetings and get a valuable insights about them.

Startup festival Zero Barriers to Entry. Learn How To Compete! - Mike MonteroStartupfest
Open source, APIs, cloud computing, real time, outsourcing and Mechanical Turk have commoditized all of the essential barriers that once existed to building a start up and leading. Ideas are a dime a dozen and with entrepreneurship on the rise and methodologies like Agile and Lean, execution is less and less a competitive mechanism for rising above your competition. Learn some of the new rules and trends for building a start up that gets recognized. Understand what potential employees, investors and partners look for to determine if your start up is going to be the winner.

The anatomy of the perfect collaboration use caseLetsConnect
Build it and they will come? By now, we should all be aware this is not the case…
Social and collaboration platforms need to provide demonstrable value, whether in productivity terms for the individual users, or in business value to the organisations involved. Therefore it is imperative that users know why they and how they should come together to use the platform in a strategic manner, to achieve a defined goal.
Join this session to hear why this means that platform owners and community managers must develop a roadmap of clearly defined and understood ‘use cases’, the factors and challenges that you need to consider, and how best to support the use cases within your deployment and launch strategy.
I think we can all agree that any technology deployment works best when it is aligned with real business value. This has been demonstrated by the willingness of companies to invest millions in ERP systems, recognizing that although the implementation and configuration of an ERP is a painful process, the outcome of having better inventory, supply chain and financial management is a necessity for running a business. Similarly, business have come to rely on the vast array of desktop software, most notably MS-Office, as genuine productivity tools.
But what about the gulf in the middle, between the enterprise and the desktop? What about department level workflow, document sharing, social networking in the workplace, and automated services for internal employees? Is there genuine business value there? And is SharePoint 2010 really the first “ready for primetime” platform that can deliver on the third leg of an enterprise IT strategy, bridging the gulf between the enterprise and the desktop?
This presentation will explore the alignment between the capabilities of SharePoint 2010 and real business needs for team, department and enterprise –level collaboration, use real world examples of best practices for developing a roadmap for success, and explore the non-technical factors that have the potential to make or break the success of collaboration within your enterprise.

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.
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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.
