How can open source CMS's meet the particular challenges that running SME's, NGO's or charities involve? Whether you run a small business, non-governmental organisation or charity, the potential for spending hundreds of thousands of pound on software to assist with the running of your business is untenable, however, how far can open-source software (and particularly content management systems) enable your business to evolve, thrive and even surpass your expectations. In my presentation I intend to discuss; what your content is and how to use it to your advantage when running a complex operation with limited resources. The advantages and disadvantages of utilising open source software and how you can leverage the community to gain support and expertise. What the future for open source projects are and how you can ensure your business/organisation/charity can continue its work into Web 3.0

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

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.
UiPath Test Automation using UiPath Test Suite series, part 3DianaGray10

Deepak Rai, Automation Practice Lead, Boundaryless Group and UiPath MVP
25. What is content management system? Content Broadly means all “stuff” you have, video, images, text, audio: all content. This also has to include “stuff” you may create/use in the future. Management System The organisation of that content. How to present/structure/use to achieve the specifications of the project. Maximise potential applications and usability. Together, a computerised system to create, edit, publish, manage and search off of your “stuff”!
31. Open source began as, and for the most part still is, software created by a community of people who are dedicated to working together in a highly collaborative and evolutionary way.
36. There is no single entity on which the future of the software depends
37. OSS vs Bespoke vs Commercial OSS Bespoke Commercial Reliability (bug free?) Many devs make light work Unknown Tested yet closed Stability / Upgrades Often free / recent Pay for / only when required Pay for / scheduled Auditability Fully changeable/testable Must largely rely on dev Believe the software Cost Free (potentially license based) Pay up front, pay for upgrades Pay up front, pay for upgrades Flexibility / Freedom Open to changes Closed system Closed system Support / Accountability Community based, learning involved Pay based on dev team Pay based to supplier / training
56. Bespoke is likely to be able to be customized to your particular situation, yet, can cost a great deal for both the initial product and ongoing support and maintenance
58. The Real Analysis The real analysis is what is best for your requirements and resources budget. For the majority of small/medium businesses, charities or NGOs the cost of a bespoke systems, with active developers to maintain/upgrade/adjust the software is unobtainable.
59. Choosing an open source CMS; the Community Open source is largely dependent on community, therefore the strength of the open source project is normally directly proportional to the skill and size of the contributing community. The community drives the project forward!
60.
61. With so many complex solutions required, how can the open source answer your queries?
71. Backend Battles, but uses a larger sample size of 100,000 sites. According to BuiltWith as of July 2010, WordPress is used by 3.09% of websites, and Drupal is used by 1.67%.
72.
73.
74.
75.
76. Understand that although it may be time critical for you, many contributors have other responsibilities/time constraints
77. Give full and detailed analysis of your problems (not simply “it doesn’t work”, use “how”, “why”, “I’ve tried...”, System Details etc)
78. Be friendly/open (if you are a charity, say it and maybe even mention a bit about your business, the more people know about you, the more likely they are to help.
79. If you find an answer, think about becoming a contributor yourself, blog, forum etc. Grow the community. Don't be a leech!!
