The Coming Change in Social Media by Social Media TodayElizabeth Lupfer
In a major paradigm shift that is impacting public relations and marketing oranizations, companies are now viewing social media as their front line strategy for customer engagement, immediate contact, and lead generation. This means the software tools we use in the social space will be changing a lot too. This gamebreaker call was based on research developed by our resident trendspotter, Josh Gordon, in Social Media Today's latest free download white paper The Coming Change In Social Media. It's our focus here at Social Media Today to help frame the issues and put them into perspective so that community members can use them as a roadmap and drive the future of social media. Don't get behind the curve.
The Strategy of Giving (SoG) is a brilliantly simple theory that explains why companies
need to give more to get more. The theory is packed in an easy-to-read format with

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development.

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).

6. What is a Podcast?
The Official Definition:
A podcast is an episodic program delivered via the
Internet using an XML protocol called RSS. Podcast
episodes can be audio files, video files, documents, or
any combination of the three. The publisher or
broadcaster podcasts the program by posting the
episodes and the XML document to a Web server. The
consumer subscribes to the podcast using a client
application, such as iTunes, which regularly reads the
XML file and downloads new episodes.

7. What is a Podcast? (cont.)
The “Plain English” Definition:
A podcast most commonly refers to an audio file, but
can also be a video or text file, that is subscribed to via
a web format known as an RSS feed (Rich Site
Summary). Whenever the podcaster updates or adds
content, the RSS feed sends the new content to an
aggregator like iTunes or other sites.

26. Wikis & Bulletin Boards:
An Analogy
A wiki is a website version of a community bulletin
board. Both are places where anyone within a
community is free to publicly post announcements,
ads, ideas, and/or solicitations. The main difference
is that wikis allow the items that are posted to be
edited, reworked, and remixed.
27. Wikis & Bulletin Boards:
An Analogy (cont.)
Imagine that you are looking at a
community bulletin board.
What if you could digitally edit a
misspelled want-ad, or add artwork,
music or other types of files to a
concert flyer to make it more useful
or aesthetically pleasing? Finally,
what if your bulletin board could be
viewed not only by local residents,
but by the whole world…?
That would be a wiki.
