Reality Is Relative - The practicalities of designing for anyone besides your...Lauren Serota
Fire engine red.
If you can picture this, you’ve been exposed, at some point in your life, to a fire engine. Now, imagine you hadn’t.
The shape of each person’s reality is determined by her individual experiences. This perspective determines what we do and don’t do, what is familiar or frightening, and how we engage with the world around us. Modern designers are expert in empathy; the danger of empathy alone is its dissolution of difference. Appropriately designed products, services, and policies come from acknowledging the unique and distinctive realities of others. Lauren will be sharing stories and frameworks on how she has reconciled these complexities of seeing in a variety of projects—from designing financial services for the rural poor in Myanmar to building strategies for corporate collaboration in Australia.

A PowerPoint version of this talk is at http://www.slideshare.net/edsonm/michael-edson-lego-beowulf-and-the-web-of-hands-and-hearts-for-the-danish-national-museum-awards
This talk was delivered at the awards ceremony for the 2012 Bikuben Foundation Danish Museum Prize (Bikubenfondens Museumspriser) in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Ideas about what museums are, who they serve, and the role they play in society are changing with dramatic speed, driven largely by social media and the participatory culture of global networks.
Denmark supports world-class museums, with remarkable collections, expert staff, and beautiful architecture. But how can museum leaders balance the traditional concepts of organizational mission and outcomes with the disruptive possibilities being demonstrated by those who love and use museums in new ways?

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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!

This is something new. I've done Lost Landscapes programs for seven years, and I've been talking
about archives for longer than that, but I haven't tried to combine two realms of expression. So, today

3. THE ACCELERANDO:
“THE GREATEST EFFLORESCENCE
OF CIVILIZATION IN HISTORY,
A NEW RENAISSANCE.”
Kim Stanley Robinson, Blue Mars
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 3
This is how the utopian-minded writer Kim Stanley Robinson defines the Accelerando. It’s a speeding-up of
development in all realms: exploration, invention, science and philosophy. But it also comes with insecurity.
4. "And yet still, with all the blossoming of human effort
and confidence of the accelerando,
there was a sense of tension in the air, of danger....
A stressed renaissance, then, living fast, on the edge,
a manic golden age: the Accelerando.
And no one could say what would happen next."

5. Anxiety
Celebration
Performance
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 5
We’re indeed living in an anxious age. And much of this is occasioned by the truly wonderful
possibilities awakened by the turn toward digital. So it seems appropriate to start by talking about
archival anxiety, and then I’m going to suggest new ways of thinking about our work that might put
worry in its place.
6. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 6
Much of what we do as archivists and as archives is motivated by anxiety.
Some of this is our own. Some comes from the public or our parent organizations. It then
speaks through us.
7. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 7
Fears:
amnesia, but also:
remembrance (corporate, as well as personal and familial)
We are on the fence about memory, in the same way that we "think a number of ways" about privacy
We also fear losing control over our personal records if someone else makes stories out of them.
8. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 8
And in fact there's a huge discourse of loss around the modern archives. Or fear of loss. Loss
is unspeakable.
LOSS MAKES THE FOUND MORE VALUABLE -- process plates are perfect accompaniment for
this.
9. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 9
[We should not cause media to be lost. But we should also recognize that loss is formative. Loss of
records increases the value of records that still exist. And found records gain value because of those
that are lost. If you watch news stories about archives, you'll see very few that promote the daily work
of archivists doing the routine work they're supposed to be doing. Most of them are about new
"discoveries," however authentic these discoveries may be. The common denominator of these stories
is that they're about materials saved by accident.]
12. Bit rot
Format obsolescence
Loss of machines
"I can't play my VCR tapes."
"Don't films explode if you don't copy them to DVD?"
Distrust of the cloud
Dot-com phobia
My personal information!
TMI (we heard a lot of this yesterday)
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 12
This confuses the public. They’re waiting for us to give them clarity and reassurance.
Right now some archivists (and a lot more journalists) are promoting a kind of moral panic to
focus attention and funds on digital longevity. Film archivists did this in the 1970s with the
"Nitrate won't wait!" campaign.
13. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 13
Ultimately, much collecting is driven by anxiety, but that is not our only motivation.
But could we find another attitude to take in place of anxiety?
16. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 16
As an alternative to anxiety, I propose
CELEBRATION. Now, celebration isn’t just rejoicing (see 4 and 1). And I’m not talking about the kind of
celebratory attitude we see in, for instance, local history institutions, where negativity is banned. I’m
talking about activities archives already enable under different names. To observe occasions. To make
widely known, and display.
17. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 17
We know about the functions institutional archives serve, and we’ve been shown some great examples of how
archives will support future research and authorship. But I haven’t seen much about the relation between archives
and the public. The public is our ultimate client. They, and those who sometimes act in their name, have life-and-
death power over archives. They don’t appreciate us enough, but when they do, it’s for a reason. Celebration
means looking to the public as well as to our legacy customers. It means deploying our collections in the service
of both private and public memory.
18. Amateur Cinema League, December 1926
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 18
It might be useful to think about the reasons why people record, preserve and play back events. So let’s look
at home movies. People shoot home movies of people, places and animals they love, and events they want
to remember. While they may aspire to entertain as they remember, this is not about the business of
entertaining.
19. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 19
Individuals often record historical events as they witness them, too. There’s a line that stretches from the
home movies of war-torn Europe that Peter Forgacs has gathered through Abraham Zapruder’s film to the
videos that protesting students are shooting in Québec today. This ties in with the idea of celebration as
display. I believe the future of archives has a lot to do with how well we merge media created by individuals
with media funded by institutions.
20. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 20
My thought is simple. Celebration means that we help the public engage in active recollection and
remembrance, and that we accept that we are collecting for the public benefit, regardless of whom our
immediate users may be.
Are we doing this? I’m not always sure.
21. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 21
Much of what we heard yesterday was prompted by abundance, which can really be terrifying. There's far
too much to collect. How did we get here? One way of describing our trajectory, perhaps not the only way,
might be this. Sometimes we carefully choose what to collect, but often we collect because we can. And now
we're realizing there's too much, and we can't. And we address "can't" as a technical or economic issue,
rather than a cultural or social issue. We are not doing a great job thinking about why we collect and what
we should (and should not) collect.
22. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 22
Active recollection. Active efforts to preserve and recall. We stand a better chance of being appreciated
for this if we collect records with personal implications, as well as institutional ones.
23. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 23
I'm going to suggest that users want us to recognize that archives are not ours, but theirs. Even if we're the
custodians. Facebook recognized this. I hate to praise them, but in this case they deserve it. Their new
Timeline, whatever you may think of it, acknowledges that our history isn't just what we say and do, what
pictures we take and where we go, but also the timeline of what we watch, listen to, read and play. We are
one with media. It's our shadow (or perhaps that's the other way around). We are less than complete apart
from the media we consume.
26. photo: Bryan Boyce
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 26
Finally I want to suggest that we think of our archival work as a kind of public performance, rather
than a service or a utility. While we’re part of the infrastructure of history, we’re also more than that.
The philosopher J.L. Austin said “To say something is to do something.” Let me invert that: “To do
something is to say something.”
27. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 27
To collect and engage in archival activity is to intervene in the flow of history. Even a passive archives that
simply responds to queries and requests plays an interventionist role. And this is not a time to be quiet.
This is a time to push out our holdings to the maximum degree we’re able. We need a historically conscious
population. We need a more literate world with more authors. We need more media, even if we’re not
capable of collecting and preserving it all.
28. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 28
And even if you feel differently and prefer a quieter world to a noisier one, I would ask you to consider the
following thought: an inaccessible archives, a dark archives cannot advocate for its own existence.
29. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 29
We construct our identity through active expression. We cannot rely on third parties to do this on our behalf.
Look at the explosion of user-generated media. We are pushing the bounds the gatekeepers have imposed.
30. Wednesday, May 23, 2012 30
A quiet world is not in the interest of archives.
