Anytime Anywhere: A Discovery Educator’s Guide to Lifelong Learning
Personal learning network? Who has time? Rather, who doesn’t have time to join like minded professionals who also don’t want to waste time? As a leader of a district, school, or classroom, you need to know what new ideas are floating about, what old ideas are being reinvented, and what old ideas are being discredited. Blogs, social networks, and other Web 2.0 sites are fantastic places to develop and grow a personal learning network (PLN) on a variety of topics. This session will help participants make connections with other educators to increase opportunities to grow professionally.

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.

Can libraries afford not to be engaged
with their users?
24. Twitter Tips
• Take the twitter tour: http://bit.ly/MZ8ZbJ
Read Twitter 101: http://bit.ly/Nv2IGQ
• Your profile matters! If tweeting for your library
include logo, link to library website
• Find and follow people you know and interesting
accounts sharing content you value
• Libraries should have a strategy – build your
voice—retweet, reply, react, share what’s
valued, connect and engage
26. Google+ and Google+ Hangouts
Yet another social-media platform?
Yes, with some differences…

• All gmail accts include Google+, anyone can get a free
acct - Hangouts were recently integrated in gmail
• Rapidly developing/evolving, difficult to keep up –
follow Google official sites for updates -
http://support.google.com/plus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1215275
• Regular Hangouts currently work well on mobie (iOS
and Android devices - tablets are best to view screen
