As the chair of the State and Local Documents Task Force, I decided to try a different approach to our meeting format at the 2009 Annual Meeting. Part was information sharing but the majority was spent discussing and working on exercises related to state and local data.
In this webinar, we look at how you obtain and use open data, the key role of search engines and how you establish rust in the data you find. The webinar will also look at the quality of data and how to clean and prepare data for analysis. Finally, the session will look at how you can quickly visualise cleaned data and the applications of this in the agriculture sector.

Inroads into Data: Getting Involved in Data at Your InstitutionMargaret Henderson
Every institution creates and uses data for many reasons. Data needs to be collected, described, stored, organized, retrieved, and shared, all things that librarians can help with. But how do you get started when there are many types of data and a range of services that can be offered? I will cover how to leverage the skills librarians already have to work with data and suggest some areas of data and service to get you started.

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.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

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.
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.

6. Open data is...
“...data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone - subject
only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.”
~ Open Data Handbook
Why is a clear definition of open data important?
Interoperability - different datasets should be able to work together
● Availability and access
● Re-use and redistribution
● Universal participation
http://opendatahandbook.org/guide/en/what-is-open-data/ 6
7. Availability and Access
“The data must be available as a whole and at no more than a reasonable
reproduction cost, preferably by downloading over the internet. The data
must also be available in a convenient and modifiable form.”
http://opendatahandbook.org/guide/en/what-is-open-data/ 7
8. Re-use and Redistribution
“The data must be provided
under terms that permit
re-use and redistribution
including the intermixing
with other datasets.”
http://opendatahandbook.org/guide/en/what-is-open-data/ 8
9. Universal Participation
“Everyone must be able to use, re-use and redistribute - there should be no
discrimination against fields of endeavour or against persons or groups. For
example, ‘non-commercial’ restrictions that would prevent ‘commercial’ use,
or restrictions of use for certain purposes (e.g. only in education), are not
allowed.”
