Using Eclipse MQTT & Sparkplug as your IIoT Digital Transformation Toolkit | ...Eclipse IoT
This presentation displays the combination of existing MQTT message transport technologies provided by the Eclipse Paho IoT technologies combined with the Eclipse Tahu technology in making this technology applicable to the OT sector by defining the MQTT semantics of Topic Namespace, Process Variable centric Payloads and State Awareness of MQTT but applying that to IT-centric requirements of OT tag metrics and context.
We need/must apply the same notions of the IoP to the IIoT. But we must satisfy the OT requirements of real-time, mission-critical aspects of the infrastructure first while embracing required IIoT hooks.

Software Defined Networks (SDN) is an evolutionary paradigm that will not only change how the vendors will built their products and technologies, but also change how the organizations are going to consume these capabilities. That said, adoption of these SDN capabilities is very low. Some of them is shaped by the myths and expectations around what SDN can versus cannot do. It is therefore important to understand these adoption challenges and correspondingly use some of the consultative services frameworks to overcome these challenges.

In this presentation, we’ll guide you through what to consider when looking at an NDI friendly switch. There a lot of considerations that you need to take into account when you are setting up a IP based video production system because everything leverages your network switch. In this video, we break down all the common considerations network engineers are thinking about when they are building a local area network for video production. When we talk about IP-Based video production we are commonly referring to video sources made available for software based switcher like Wirecast, xSplit, OBS or vMix.
The Two BIG Points for Consideration-
The switch must be at least Gigabit
The switches must accommodate mDNS
“Ideally, the switches also will accommodate multicast with IGMPv3

Intro to GitOps with Weave GitOps, Flagger and LinkerdWeaveworks
You may not think of "GitOps" and "service mesh" together – but maybe you should! These two wildly different technologies are each enormously capable independently, and combined they deliver far more than the sum of their parts: a single Git commit can control workflows customized for your exact situation by taking advantage of the service mesh's ability to measure and manipulate traffic anywhere in your application's call graph, and you can rest easy knowing that Git is preserving the complete configuration for your entire application every step of the way.
See how these technologies can work together to tackle complex problems in cloud-native applications.
What you’ll get out of this:
* Understand what GitOps and service meshes can - and can't - do for you.
* Understand basic operations with GitOps and Linkerd.
* Understand the basics of continuous deployment with Weave GitOps and Linkerd.
In this talk, we will give an overview of the state of the Xen Project, trends that impact the project, see whether challenges that surfaced last year have been addressed and how we did it, and highlight new challenges and solutions for the coming year.

Why we don’t use the Term DevOps: the Journey to a Product Mindset - Destinat...Henning Jacobs
While the adoption of DevOps makes teams move faster with reduced dependency on central operations, it can constrain teams who lack the skills to self-manage the full application and infrastructure stack.
The way to overcome this challenge is creating an internal platform and treating it as a world-class product offering. “Applying product management to internal platforms means establishing empathy with internal consumers (read: developers) and collaborating with them on the design. Platform product managers establish roadmaps and ensure the platform delivers value to the business and enhances the developer experience”, via ThoughtWorks Technology Radar.
In this talk, Henning Jacobs will walk you through how Zalando adopted a customer-first mindset with regards to its developer tooling. He will show the effect on developer satisfaction when internal platforms are given the same respect as external product offerings. Henning will furthermore tell his story about how Zalando moved from a classical infrastructure team to a product mindset with strong focus on building a world-class developer experience. Henning shares both their learnings and challenges going through this transition, and the impact it has on the daily life of Zalando’s customers (developers).
This talk was given in Aarhus on 4th of June 2019.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
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.

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).

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.
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!

EchoVoice
F e a s i b i l i t y A s s e s s m e n t :
1) Most grids in the HG community are non-revenue earning.
2) Per 2015 Virtual World Survey > 38% report under $10K USD annual income.
3) Average event donations 100 $G or less than 1 USD.
4) Using HiFidelity, average weekly event can cost $12.50/mth equivalent to 3125 $G.
5) Using Agora, you get 10,000 free minutes per month but that is exceeded with three average
weekly events.
C o n c l u s i o n :
Per minute paid voice solution not feasible for the HG community at large.

Future viewer roadmap
▌ Separate the rendering part
from the rest of the viewer to
integrate a new type renderer
( more modern rendering
engine)
▌ Separate the rendering part
in such a way that 3D
headsets work on a constant
frame rate. Allow different
rendering engines at build
time
▌ Allow a user configurable
MMI
▌ Allow to connect and select
multiple VOIP providers
