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.

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.

9. What is social media? 4 core principles. www.CFSarasota.org
12. Social media is not a billboard for your nonprofit’s announcements. We’re officially begging you to donate & come to the events we invite you to on Facebook. Not taking to comments at this time.
13. 2. Social media—like other forms of communication—insists that you ask: “ Where does my audience live & what do they like?” www.CFSarasota.org

Editor's Notes
Social media can be a bit overwhelming, and though it’s something I’ve grown to really enjoy, it’s hard to constantly keep up with the new craze. I’ll admit that I didn’t really want to take the plunge until I got a friend request from Judi on Facebook just before she started working at the Foundation. Since she would be my new boss, I figured I better do it.

Since she would be my new boss, I figured I better do it.
But as time moved on, I rapidly saw social media as an opportunity, and if there’s one thing I want to leave with you today, it’s this: Social media offers an opportunity for nonprofits, an opportunity to connect. So let’s talk about this question, which seems to summarize most of what’s important to us as nonprofits-even small businesses and sometimes government.
Now, I want to be perfectly clear about social media. Some folks turn their back to all of the social media buzz because the know that the good ole tried and true methods of relationship building and of marketing still retain their validity today. I do not argue with that. Am I saying that…? No. But what I am saying is that this is another tool for connecting, and it’s growing in importance. So whether you’re talking about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or whatever the next new thing is, what’s changing is the expectation of how we process information.
I think we can boil down social media into four main principles.
I think we can boil down social media into four main principles.
It sounds silly, but social media is called social media for a reason—it’s social. In thinking about this, I want you to consider the elements of a conversation that you might have in person with someone. What are these elements? What happens in a bad conversation? And so these are precisely the things you want to avoid in the social media world.
It isn’t just courtesy, but it’s a HUGE opportunity. The potential for researching your fans—what they like, what motivates them to leave a comment, how they answer the questions you might pose to them on Facebook—they all provide excellent insight into how you can really reach them in regard to your mission. What are their hot buttons? Don’t miss out on that opportunity.
In this respect, it’s not that different from what you might do with a prospective donor on a first luncheon. You don’t sit right down and ask them for money. You get to know them, you ask them a few questions, find out what interests them, maybe invite them to get further involved, learn more about them, etc. Many nonprofits make the mistake of slapping up event announcements on their Facebook page or on Twitter and then don’t know why they aren’t receiving a response.
This is true with every aspect of marketing/ communications. And one of the most common things we hear when we ask who you needs to hear your message. The response is “everyone.” Your audience is never everyone. And using social media, your audience certainly isn’t everyone, it’s a subset of the larger audience you market your programs to. For example, many of the Community Foundation’s donors have either passed away or are in their mid-80’s. Now I don’t want to generalize about age groups, because social media is anything but a teenager’s place. But we aren’t focusing on this group using social media because there just aren’t enough of them using tools like Facebook and Twitter to justify it. Our audience is largely younger generation prospective donors; staff/ board members of nonprofits; and scholarship students.
Another way to segment your audience-- are you talking to clients? To donors? To would-be members? To volunteers? In some cases these groups are certainly in need of the same message. But think about this. These will all provide valuable insights about how to connect with people to benefit your organization.
Yes, there is time involved in social media and we’ll talk about that in a minute. The trust factor is big. A lot of the greatness in social media is the 3 rd party credibility factor—when things go viral and when others say good things about you instead of you saying good things about you.
So how to you establish trust? By offering value. You must offer some value other than “come visit our site,” “please donate,” “come volunteer,” if you want people to join you on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. Think of it as water.
You may be at the point now that you just want to learn more about how social media works, but eventually, it’s going to be every bit as imperative as having a website. When people Google an organization, many times, their Facebook page will come up first. And that may be because it’s more frequently updated (hopefully) and content that’s more frequently updated generates better search engine rankings. What does that tell you?

Sometimes we can learn a lot by tell a lot about the future of things in our nonprofit world by looking at the big boys—the big corporate brands. Did you all hear that Pepsi cancelled its advertising for the SuperBowl and announced a multi-million dollar social media initiative called Pepsi Refresh? The company is giving away $1.3 million each month to ideas that can change the world for the better. Users vote on the best ideas.

The top 2 anxieties we hear about social media are 1. we don’t have the time…this takes a lot of time, and 2. people can say bad stuff about you. I can’t tell you these aren’t true. You can spend lots of time on social media, but with a good plan you can minimize distraction and you can also use the time you do spend on it well. Regarding people saying things about you—we’re going to talk about this to try and calm your fears about it. But one thing to consider is this: whether or not your nonprofit is actively using social media, people can and will still say bad things about you. It’s actually completely independent of whether you’re participating. The third “evil side,” which is true of anything, if you don’t plan your social media campaign, it probably won’t serve you well.
I ‘m just going to be honest about this. The time management gripes about social media drive me nuts. In the end, you’ll just have to decide if social media is worth some of your time or not. And if it is, there are a few things you can be mindful of that will really help… In the 2010 Nonprofit Social Network Survey, nearly 85% of nonprofit survey respondents committed at least ¼ of a full time staff member to maintaining their social networking presence in 2009. Two thirds committed ¼ to ½ of a full-time resource.

Think about how you can be pro-active in managing reputation.
These are your “ground rules.” Written social media guidelines that are incorporated into your nonprofit’s employee handbook will help protect you, give your staff and volunteers an idea of what’s okay to mention in this sort of forum. If you did get an inappropriate post, they’ll also provide a framework for reporting that person so they aren’t able to post or comment any longer.
We all know this to be true.
Mention SeaWorld. Shut down comments on Facebook page after the incident last week with Tilly the Whale. Now they are allowing comments—many very bad, many very good. It’s sort of self-policing because fans of Seaworld are doing the talking and protecting of the brand. They’ve said that they are only sensoring comments that include profanity or that are insensitive to the trainer’s family. They did however make the decision to shut their entire Twitter following of 10,000 down. They set up their account as if Shamu was speaking. A cute idea at the time, but obviously difficult to carry out now.
