Business today is starting to understand the value of data, and some organisations are outperforming their competition by putting data at the heart of their thinking. Leveraging data to change business models, understand their customers and employees better and deliver new revenue streams is the driving force in this new data centric era.

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
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

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.

What is Open Government?
• Open Government reflects a commitment to open,
accountable and transparent government practices.
“ Open Data, Open Information, Open
Dialogue”
• It is founded on democratic principals and The Local
Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of
Privacy Act (LAFOIP).
• Emphasis on citizen engagement and participation.
• The City’s Freedom of Information Process, use of
social media, regina.ca and even designregina.ca are
all examples of open government practices.
8. 8
What is Open Data??
When a government institution posts
internal data sets, in a machine-
readable format, for free public
consumption.
9. 9
Objectives:
1. Increase internal efficiency by reducing duplication and
allowing for enhanced information sharing across
departments.
2. Demonstrate leadership in public transparency and
accountability.
3. Encourage citizen engagement and participation in
municipal government through knowledge sharing.
4. Drive innovation in Regina with easy, self-serve access
to information commonly used by application developers
and businesses to provide enhanced citizen
experiences.
10. 10
City of Regina’s Open Data Journey
• Internal Survey for ‘readiness’ to move to Open Data
• large majority response … Open Data is a good thing
• many of our data sets ready to go.
• Talked to other cities (Ottawa, Vancouver, North District of
Vancouver, Edmonton) with various approaches but similarities:
• get something out there and build from it
• ensure commitment from business areas to maintain data before
posting
• technology started with was Microsoft’s Open Government Data
Initiative (OGDI)
11. 11
Data – Good, Bad, & Ugly
• Good:
• GIS data sets in multiple formats (CSV, SHP, KML)
• Data existed in all formats with maintenance processes already
in place
• Quick start!
• Bad:
• Data ready-to-go was not the most popular internally or
externally.
• Ugly:
• Some ready-to-go data was not actually ready-to-go.
• All the City’s data inaccuracies are now out there for all to see.
12. 12
Technology – Good, Bad, & Ugly
• Good:
• Contacts with other cities, Microsoft offer to help
• OGDI - open source & pay-as-you go service
• Quick start!
• Bad:
• Microsoft OGDI ‘out-of-the-box’ does not handle SHP files.
• Ugly:
• Customization we had not expected
• Need to purchase SAFE software’s FME tool to upload SHP
to OGDI
13. 13
Data Portal - what now?
• Adding ‘popular’ & requested datasets as part of regular refreshes.
• Tweaking for performance, fixing some of the bugs
• Exploring other Portal toolkits
• Exploring the expansion of the Open Data portal to include other
formats such as PDF documents, DWG and web mapping services
(WMS)
• Ongoing engagement with external stakeholders to continuously
improve the City’s Open Data Portal.
15. 15
What is a Hackathon and App
Development?
• One-day events for application developers
and those interested in open data
• Builds on open data that’s available
• Opportunity to “mash” with other data
• Creates innovative ideas for how to serve
citizens and new ways of using information
16. 16
Other Opportunities
• Application development
• ReCollect – Collection Reminder Service
• Ottawa Fun – Explore the City
• HBus – Plan Your Trip (Halifax Metro)
• City Forward - They store city data & make it available for
other cities to use free of charge. It is often used by city
planners to obtain info about what other cities are doing.
