Your organization has a facebook page, and you've got a few dozen or maybe a few hundred "fans". You see the notices to "boost" your posts, but every time you have tried it, it didn't work, or you haven't even tried. This Workshop will help you understand and use facebook strategically for your non-profit.
We will walk you through how to look at your "insights"

Show you where to find what kind of posts get the greatest engagement,
And we'll talk about how and when to boost your site or your posts for maximum value for minimum dollars.
This is a beginners workshop, but will assume that you have managed facebook for a non-profit organization, and are familiar with the interfaces.

The Joneses: Communication Networks to Do Your Dirty WorkTonya Oaks Smith
Keeping up with the Joneses… That idea is an integral part of selling anything – whether it's a car or a spot in an upcoming freshman class.
We all know that we have to have conversations with our audiences and more importantly listen, but why is this approach so important? Does this engagement approach directly oppose the traditional idea of marketing our wares? Do folks actually listen to what we have to say when we tweet, Facebook, email? How do we engage them – and convince them to do what we want?
The answer is often not in how we engage, but in how we help communication networks develop. In this session, you'll learn the characteristics of a strong communication network and of great opinion leaders as well as what communication behaviors individuals bring to social media. Finally, you'll find out best practices for engaging with opinion leaders and how to *use* them wisely.

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.

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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.

better sense of what messages are communicated
effectively.

28. Think Differently
Social Media is Not a Press Release
• Social media is a conversation – spend as
much time listening as you do speaking.
• Provide GREAT content that will get people
talking.
• If you start a conversation, participate in it;
don’t start it and walk away.
• Ask for and enable feedback – respond to
mentions on Twitter, comments on blogs,
Facebook, etc.

29. Social Media Writing Tips
• Good writing is still critical to driving
engagement.
• So is good grammar and style.
“&” is okay but “2” for “to” is not
• More specifically, think headline writing:
keep it succinct and enticing but don’t
oversell

30. More Social Media Writing Tips
• Facebook ≠ Twitter ≠ Google+
so don’t treat them the same
• Provide links to more info but use a
URL shortener
• On Twitter, at minimum, leave room for
RT @YourHandle

33. Social Media Analytics
• What you analyze should align with your
goals. For NASA, it’s all about engagement.
• NASA measures:
– Popularity (clicks, retweets, shares) of a post
– Response ratio
– Anomalies: what causes a spike or a dip?
• Look for steady, organic growth.
• Quantity results from quality interaction.
• Most popular content: pictures
