Should we have a pedagogy of technology?Ashley Casey
In this paper I argue for the need to develop a pedagogy of technology that encourages us to use all technology only as a means of educating children and young people for the 21st Century.

How GZIP compression works - JS Conf EU 2014Raul Fraile
Data compression is an amazing topic. Even in today’s world, with fast networks and almost unlimited storage, data compression is still relevant, especially for mobile devices and countries with poor Internet connections.
For better or worse, GZIP compression is the de-facto lossless compression method for compressing text data in websites. It is not the fastest nor the better, but provides an excellent tradeoff between speed and compression ratio. The way Internet works makes it also difficult to use newer compression methods.
This talk examines how GZIP works internally, explaining the internals of the DEFLATE algorithm, which is a combination of LZ77 and Huffman coding. Different implementations will be compared, such as GNU GZIP, 7-ZIP and zopfli, focusing on why and how some of these implementations perform better than others.
Finally, we will try to go beyond GZIP, preprocessing our data to achieve better results. For example, transposing JSON.
In this short talk for the cognitive talks in neuroscience conference, I introduced the Cognitive Flow as the optimal strategy for engagement in game design.

Because today every time we choose an algorithm, a dataset, a framework, even a plugin, our decision may have tremendous consequences on people near and far around us.
As we, in the tech industry, slowly come to realise the power we wield, we urgently need to train our brains into an ethical decision-making framework.
How can we make sure our choices won't harm others?
Slide 1
Early fossil records suggest that the Yangtze River Dolphin came about 25 million years ago, and made its way to the Yangtze 20 million years ago, where it is considered an endemic species.
The Yangtze River dolphin is known by many names. In Chinese, it is known as the Baijie which translates to “White dolphin”, since it has pale blue grey skin which lightens as it ages. In Chinese folklore, the Baijie also protects fishermen as the “Goddess of the River”. Once loved, it was plentiful in the Yangtze river. In the 1950s, there used to be about 6,000 dolphins. Then in the 1980s, the population reduced to 400. Then since 2006, this species was declared functionally extinct. So, why does it matter that this species is gone?
Slide 2
Well, the extinction of the Yangtze River Dolphin is biggest cetacean species extinction of our time. In addition, it highlights the struggle of keeping freshwater resources in Asia. The Yangtze is not only the third longest river in the world, but also home to over half of China’s total plant and animal species. So the death of this dolphin might be our warning bell to save other species from extinction.
Slide 4
The Yangtze River Dolphin is only one in its family Lipodae, and it’s one out of four dolphin families which reside in shallow freshwater rivers.
Slide 5
The dolphin’s got a long beak with 35 blunt teeth to snack on small fish. It’s a carnivore. Like many other dolphins, it communicates through clicks and whistles, which is why it’s got this hole in it’s head. They are social, living in pods from 3 to 7 individuals. However, they are very shy around humans -- which makes it hard for us to perform research on them.
Slide 6
They tend to breed in the months of February through April. As mammals, they have live birth and have a gestation period of 10 months. They’re quite small when born, about 32 to 35 inches but grow up to be as big as 8 feet long. They reach sexual maturity around 6 to 8 years and having a birthing interval of 2 years.
Slide 7
The Yangtze dolphin normally swims 19 to 25 mph, but can go up to 37 mph when threatened. It has poor eyesight in the murky water of the Yangtze, so it relies on echolocation (biosonar) and touch with it’s long thin beak to find small fish to eat. Unfortunately, baijie have been known to have poor navigation, running into boat motors and killing themselves.
Slide 8-9
Which brings us to this point. Half of all known dolphin killings in the 1970s and 1980s were attributed to collisions with motor boats and accidental illegal fishing activities like dynamite fishing, drag netting and electric fishing.

You might have heard of a new breed of organisational models, responding to the fast growing adaptability, engagement and collaboration needs within modern company structures.
Or you might have simply experienced the sound problems of slowness, rigidity, bureaucracy, disengagement along with various kinds of waste and bottlenecks that “traditional” organisational models generate and suffer nowadays.
This is what LiquidO™ is all about: the original “liquid organisation” model for governance, born from direct experience within Cocoon Projects and in use in a growing number of for profit and not-forprofit organisations willing to get liquid.
The New Norm(al): Confronting What Open Means for Higher EducationBonnie Stewart
The opening provocation/keynote for #altc 2017, this talk examines open educational practices for a time of institutional decline & pervasive corporatism & sensationalism. It challenges the idea of norms and normal in the figure - and implied objectivity - of the Bell Curve, and posits instead the figure of the cyborg as a model for openness in fraught but important digital spaces.
Strategic Cartography: Identifying IL Intersections Across the Curriculumchar booth
Presentation at ACRL 2015 in Portland, OR.
Abstract: Curriculum mapping builds insight into the sequence of requirements and competencies a learner negotiates while on an academic path. When combined with data visualization, visual curriculum mapping (VCM) provides a holistic view of an entire educational community, highlighting pivotal points at which to introduce information literacy instruction, resources, and research support. This paper presents findings of a large-scale consortial VCM project in 2013-14, exploring anticipated and unanticipated outcomes and offering strategies applicable to other institutions.
Messaging Brokers are intrinsic part of our infrastructure and our experience with HornetQ has not been really great.
We have experienced issues that forced us to perform restarts multiple times a day and sometimes they weren't sufficient to fix the issue and data cleanup was needed resulting in loss of important messages.
Lack of documentation, lack of proper support and lack of stability of HornetQ broker are some of the reasons for looking into new Messaging Brokers.
During this session I will present the path we have taken to Prioritize Features -> Compare Brokers -> Eliminate -> Benchmark and the findings together with recommendations.
This task resulted in implementation of generic messaging broker benchmarking tool in Java, called Benchmark.io which we are intending to open source.
