My media product uses, develops and challenges conventions of real magazines through consistent branding elements that tie it to the mod and britpop subcultures. Key elements include a recognizable logo using the magazine's title in a mod-inspired font, repeated use of the colors red, white and blue, a vertical blue stripe on content pages, and a simple box frame in red for additional text. These visual cues make the magazine's aesthetic immediately tied to the chosen genres and allow it to be identified from just a glance.
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 his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON. Timmerer also presents provocative contributions of his own that have significantly influenced the industry. He concludes by looking at future challenges and invites the audience to join in a discussion.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.
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).

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.

5. HOUSE STYLE
Throughout the magazine I aimed to keep a
consistent house style associated with my
subculture. In order to achieve I used many
shapes, borders, images and symbols.
Firstly, I chose a specific text for the name of my
magazine; ‘My Generation’. This was used on
both the front cover, and contents page. this will
allow for the magazine and font to be recognised
with the magazine and genre in particular, even at
a glance.
Secondly, I created a remake of the symbol which
is commonly associated with the ‘Mod’ subculture.
This was almost an addition to the text logo and
again appeared on both the front cover and the
contents page a number of times. Similar to the
first point, this symbol will be associated with the
scene and the magazine in particular.
Furthermore, I predominantly used 3 set colours
(red, white and blue) for the whole of the
magazine. This gave a professional and appealing
look, whilst also allowing for a recognisable
theme, combining with the text and symbol. These
colours were used on all pages in some form.
On the contents and double page spread I used a
blue vertical stripe which would appear on the vast
majority of pages throughout the magazine. This
combines well with the ‘Mod’ subculture as it has
a keen association with stripes, circles and
symbols. This stripe added an overall more ‘Mod’
look, whilst also adding a professional edge.
This title text is repeatedly used to add a
consistent feel and look to the pages, whilst also
being a simple, easily readable font.
Lastly, I used the appearance of a simple but
effective red box to add titles and basic
information to pages. This was done on the
contents page and double page spread to further
add a more professional yet still relating to my
subculture’s look. It also linked in with the earlier
said 3 main colours I used.
