Digital Teams in 2018: The New Landscape of Digital Engagement – Jason MogusNetSquared Vancouver
The state of digital teams inside our nonprofits often reflects deeper issues of culture and structure and how well adapted our institutions are to today's communications landscape. So what's going on with digital teams today? What team structures, roles, and behaviours are producing the best outcomes? Are we getting better at cross-silo and cross-channel communications? Are we set up to really deliver on the promise of digital engagement?

The Collaborative Nonprofit: Building better relationships between fundraisin...Abila
Fundraising and finance departments are critical to leading the growth and success of nonprofit organizations. Yet, nearly 55 percent of fundraising and 45 percent of finance professionals believe their departments are not at all or only “somewhat” collaborative with each other. Abila surveyed both nonprofit finance and fundraising professionals to better understand the collaborative nature of the two departments, and the biggest challenges they face when working together. Based on the study findings, we dive into strategies for improving cross-departmental collaboration including demystifying commonly misunderstood jargon, management strategies to empower emerging leaders, and new opportunities for information sharing.

Going Beyond the Donate Button NACHC CHI EXPO 2018Courtney Clark
The non-profit sector, including community health centers, are seeing online donations increase rapidly. Health centers must create an online presence that is enticing to potential donors and partners. Additionally, they need to balance their storytelling and explanation of offerings, while making the donation experience simple and easy for donors. In a world of Facebook fundraisers, “ice bucket” challenges, and everyone hoping their request goes “viral,” how can health centers navigate the world of online donor cultivation while staying true to their mission?
Panelists will discuss strategies for creating an engaging online experience for current and potential donors. As health centers explore ways to diversify their revenues, individual donor engagement is essential to that. Panelists will highlight their approach to building their online presence for donors and discuss how they go beyond the ‘donate’ button in engaging these audiences.
Learning Objectives:
* Identify positive ways to engage audiences online and barriers that may discourage engagement.
* Understand approaches, utilized by peer-centers, to online donor engagement.
* Identify practical tips to assess your own individual donor cultivation via your website and online presence.

Each day dawns with a new digital platform, app, or data provider courting you for your scarce dollars and attention. To be successful at digital content and marketing, publishers and brands must start with a strategy that puts people at the center of their efforts, defining the kind of relationship they will — and won’t — have with their audiences.

Similar to Philanthropy by the Numbers: The story behind the stats (20)
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Adjusting OpenMP PageRank : SHORT REPORT / NOTESSubhajit Sahu
For massive graphs that fit in RAM, but not in GPU memory, it is possible to take
advantage of a shared memory system with multiple CPUs, each with multiple cores, to
accelerate pagerank computation. If the NUMA architecture of the system is properly taken
into account with good vertex partitioning, the speedup can be significant. To take steps in
this direction, experiments are conducted to implement pagerank in OpenMP using two
different approaches, uniform and hybrid. The uniform approach runs all primitives required
for pagerank in OpenMP mode (with multiple threads). On the other hand, the hybrid
approach runs certain primitives in sequential mode (i.e., sumAt, multiply).
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”
