This document provides guidelines for effective multimedia design and presentation, including tips to avoid common "sins" like using too many fonts, font styles, and colors. It recommends keeping designs simple and clear by limiting the amount of text on slides and using large, easily readable fonts. Images and visual elements should also be large enough for viewers to see clearly. The document stresses the importance of consistency in designs and emphasizes conveying the presenter's message over flashy effects.

At Officevibe, we end our daily standup meetings with an inspirational quote to start the day on a positive note.
Whoever’s turn it is to speak holds a basketball, and the last one to speak has to come up with a quote of the day.
Everyone puts their finger on the ball, and when the quote is said, the ball gets thrown up in the air and we all say “think about it”, as a reminder to really let the hidden meaning of the quote sink in.

Highlight key points or reinforce what the facilitator is saying
Should be short and to the point, include only key words and phases for visual, reinforcement

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.

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.

5. Based on the article Avoiding Seven Deadly Multimedia Design
and Presentation Sins by Thomas H. Cunningham.
6.
7. Letter fonts are too ornate
There are too many different fonts
There are too many DIFFERENT font styles
And there are too many different font
colors
8. Avoid the temptation to use fancy fonts
Choose one that is easy to read!
Limit to one or two letter fonts
Limit to one or two letter styles
Limit to one or two letter colors
13. Font sizes and/or graphics are too small

14. Font sizes and/or graphics are too small

15. Do not rely on default font sizes
Sometimes they will be too small for people
in a large room to read
Think of the people in the back row
Try the 10-foot rule
17. The background and text color
combinations do not have
enough contrast for legibility.
18. Make sure that designs and colors in the
background don’t conflict with the text
Avoid the color red for text
19. Never crowd too much information onto
a single screen.
Doing so distracts the participant’s
attention and forces them to really
concentrate in order to merely
understand your presentation. It’s best
to focus the items in your presentation
to only include important points.
21. K.I.S.S.
Usually less is more!
Keep screens simple and clear
Do not crowd text
Give more information as you speak than is
presented on your slides
22. Follow the eight-by-eight rule of thumb
Generally:
No more than eight words per line
No more than eight lines of text per screen
25. Not leaving a screen up long enough for
participants to take notes
Leaving a screen unchanged for too long
26. If you will not refer to onscreen
information for a while, insert a blank
slide
Use the handout feature so participants
don’t have to take copious notes
28. Overusing special effects
Overusing special effects
Overusing special effects
Overusing special effects

Overusing special effects
Overusing special effects
29. Be consistent in the use of special
effects (flying text, dissolving, etc.)
Avoid “eye candy” except to add
emphasis
31. Presentation is all text, no pictures
Using only text can be a real drag.
Today’s audience demands a more visual
presentation. They want to be
entertained while you are teaching
them. That’s just the way it is.
32. Don’t forget
Use pictures,
that you’re
charts,
working with
graphs, and
a visual
cartoons!
media!
