Entrepreneurship Tips With HTML5 & App Engine Startup Weekend (June 2012)Ido Green
My talk in Startup Weekend 2012 during Google I/O. It cover, startup life tips, modern web apps and how to leverage Google cloud (specific App Engine).
A brief presentation I put together for the SLP Mumbai 2018 cohort on the most common software used by early stage startups, based on my personal experiences.
SuiteCRM Features, Benefits, Fynsis Case study, over 100+ projects. Salesforce automation, marketing automation and support automation. Our key suitecrm plugins such as opencart, payment gateway, asterisk, usps, quickbooks etc.
This presentation explains why charities should consider using Google Apps instead of Microsoft Office.
After years of working in IT for large public sector and voluntary organisations which had Microsoft environments, I came to the conclusion that many charities would be better off using Google Apps because they would:
- Make it easier for staff and volunteers to share information
- Support partnership working with other agencies
- Reduce the total cost of ownership
This is a version of the presentation I originally gave at the Evolve 2014 hosted by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations.

The User Experience: Editing Composite Pages in Plone 6 and BeyondJazkarta, Inc.
It may be a surprise to non-technical people to learn that pages created in Volto are not currently interoperable with traditional Plone's page editing. If you think about it, the reason becomes obvious. Volto, like Mosaic, creates tiled layouts, and like Mosaic it stores page data in special fields for the individual blocks and their layout. Neither Volto nor Mosaic pages are editable in TinyMCE, which expects just one rich text field.
Is this divergence between sites created in Volto and sites created in traditional Plone a problem? It does make it harder to describe what Plone is to users and it might mean that there is no way to mix both approaches, for instance when part of a larger 'classic' site is also available as a Volto-based sub-site. Would it be possible to have one tool and one representation for tiled layouts so that we can avoid this divergence? Is there some other solution? Is it even a problem? Will Plone 6 be backwards compatible with Plone 5 and include a smooth upgrade path?
We will tackle these questions in this strategic panel discussion, moderated by Sally Kleinfeldt. Panelists will include Paul Roeland, Philip Bauer, Timo Stollenwerk, Victor Fernandez de Alba, and Eric Steele.
Serving hikers in Washington state, the Washington Trails Association protects hiking trails and wild lands and provides members and the general public with extensive hiking information. A Plone site since 2007, wta.org has extensive custom features, 240,000 members, and an enormous amount of content. We will take a tour of some of the most interesting features of the site, including the Salesforce and Mapbox integrations, iPhone and Android apps driven by a custom API, a process to crowd source corrections to hike descriptions, and a culture that has allowed WTA to leverage the expertise of volunteers to implement significant website features.
The North American Orchid Conservation Center is a coalition of organizations dedicated to conserving the diverse orchid heritage of the U.S. and Canada. NAOCC needed a system to capture data about orchid samples, with collaboration features to allow project participants to view and contribute information. Data and collaboration features had to share a common access control structure. One approach would have been to build on a web database platform like Django, but this was a low budget project and adding the necessary collaboration and access control features would have been a big undertaking. We had a trick up our sleeve - Plone, which has collaboration features galore and makes it easy to create custom content types to capture specialized data. With a short discovery process and just two weeks of development, we were able to create a system that provides Plone's usual features (member roles, workflows, fine-grained access control and permission-sensitive search), plus custom content types that capture 50+ data fields, photos and files about individual orchid plants and the symbiotic fungi that live on their roots, a CSV import of the existing data and a flexible reporting capability.
A lightning talk given at the 2018 Plone Conference announcing the 2019 Sorrento Sprint. It will be held at the Hotel Mediterraneo April 7-14. The topic will be Plone front-end modernization.
Although Plone 5 has been released for 2 years, there are still lots of Plone 4.3 sites in the wild. A number of Jazkarta's clients have large, heavily customized Plone 4.3 sites and we have been upgrading them one at a time. As we have gained experience, we have developed strategies for these upgrade projects that minimize risk and spread the work over several mini-projects. In this short talk I will share what we have learned.
Accessibility in Plone: The Good, the Bad, and the UglyJazkarta, Inc.
Out of the box, Plone's accessibility compliance is outstanding, especially Plone 5. However when building a real site things can go wrong - in the theme, in add-ons, and in customizations. In this talk I'll describe the things that went wrong on a highly customized academic Plone site, which were discovered by an institutional audit. I'll describe the types of errors that were found, how common they were and how difficult to fix. I'll provide guidance on what to look out for when developing a new site. And I'll give my wishlist of Plone accessibility improvements.
The venerable Plone add-on GetPaid's warranty was expiring, so in 2013 when Jazkarta needed to build a payment component for The Mountaineers' website (mountaineers.org), we started with a simple Javascript shopping cart and a Stripe integration and went from there. Over time, more features were added and when additional clients needed e-commerce, we extracted the generic bits into a new add-on, jazkarta.shop. It allows for pluggable payment processors, shipping providers, and APIs for calculating state and local taxes, and it can now be used with Plone 4.3 and 5. In this 2017 Plone Conference presentation, we talk about why we went down this path and describe the use cases jazkarta.shop is designed to handle.
An Open Source Platform for Social Science ResearchJazkarta, Inc.
In 2016, a group of social scientists at the University of California Berkeley received a large grant to develop tools for rigorous social science research, initially focused on collective identity formation. Jazkarta has been helping them develop Dallinger, a tool to automate experiments that use large numbers of subjects recruited on platforms like Mechanical Turk. They chose Jazkarta because of our web development and project management expertise, but also because of our familiarity with large, open source software projects - which is a goal for Dallinger. At this 2017 Plone Conference presentation, members of the Jazkarta team (David Glick, Alec Mitchell, Matthew Wilkes, and Sally Kleinfeldt) describe how we've put the lessons of Plone to work setting up this new open source project. We also describe how the technology stack (Python, Redis, Web Sockets, Heroku, AWS/Mechanical Turk/boto, Flask, PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy, Gunicorn, Pytest, gevent) has been working for us.
For the Love of Volunteers! How Do You Choose the Right Technology to Manage ...Jazkarta, Inc.
In this 2017 Non-profit Technology Conference session, Loren Drummond (Washington Trails Association), Karen Uffelman (Percolator Consulting) and Sally Kleinfeldt (Jazkarta) describe volunteer management systems - what makes a good one, how to evaluate your needs, and whether you should buy an off the shelf solution or build something custom. As a case study, they dive into the custom VMS that WTA built to manage their trail maintenance work parties, covering the project from inception through discovery and implementation. In 2016, the year after launch, WTA's VMS smoothly managed 150,000 trail maintenance volunteer hours done by 4,700 volunteers on 240 trails across the state of Washington - an astonishing $3.9 million dollars worth of labor donated to public lands.
The Mountaineers is the premier outdoor education nonprofit in the Pacific Northwest, with over 10,000 members and over 2,000 volunteer-led courses and activities every year. Their website, mountaineers.org, is the critical link between their members and volunteers and the outdoor learning that the organization offers. When they embarked on a major upgrade project, they took a holistic view of how they had used technology in the past and how they wanted to use it in the future. They had a clear vision to guide them: the website had to be deeply engaging for their target audiences, and easy for volunteers and members to use; and it had to simplify and improve as many of their processes as possible.
In this session from the 2016 Nonprofit Technology Conference, we’ll describe the life cycle of this major website redesign project:
- Defining the strategy driving The Mountaineers mission and website
- The requirements discovery process, including a huge community engagement effort
- The technology choices we made and why
- The importance of user experience (UX) design
- The agile process used to manage development
- Managing data and content migration, testing, and site launch
- Website support and ongoing evolution
Along the way, we’ll highlight the practices that made this project so successful.

The Mountaineers: Scaling the Heights with PloneJazkarta, Inc.
Picture yourself at a non-profit with 50,000 active members and hundreds of volunteers. Your website has become dated and convoluted and needs to be replaced. You need the new site to support complex course registrations - multiple activities per course, multiple roles per activity, multiple people per registration, waitlisting, payments - without seeming complex. You need it to be easy for leaders to create new activities, for volunteers to volunteer, for members to sign up and donate, and for everyone to find what they're looking for in your vast portfolio of knowledge.
This is the story of The Mountaineers' journey to a new Plone site, which launched May 2014 after more than a year of development by a Jazkarta team consisting of David Glick, Cris Ewing, and Carlos de la Guardia. We'll describe some of the highlights, including:
- Handling rosters with collective.workspace
- Optimizing membrane-based users
- Using Stripe to process payments
- Using Celery as a message queue with Plone
- Our process for designing content types and getting content imported
- Pulling everything together with Solr-powered faceted search
A lot has happened this year in the world of hosting Plone sites. This 2014 Plone Conference session aims to provide a forum for sharing information and debating approaches. We will begin with brief presentations from our panelists, followed by questions and discussion.
- Steve McMahon: Ansible
- Cris Ewing: AWS OpsWorks
- Sven Strack: Nix, Docker, OpenVZ
- Nejc Zupan: Heroku
- Nate Aune: OpenShift, Dotcloud, and other PaaS providers
Salesforce.com is a mature, feature-rich, highly customizable, software-as-a-service CRM that has had excellent integration with Plone since 2007. The combination of Plone and Salesforce.com is a great deal for non-profits - the Salesforce Foundation will donate up to 10 enterprise licenses to 501(c)3 organizations, and any additional licenses are deeply discounted.
In this talk I will review the Plone+Salesforce integration toolkit, describe recent improvements to the toolkit, and contrast this with what other CMSes have to offer.
Museums, libraries, art institutes, and many other types of organizations need online exhibits - websites that mimic the experience of walking through a gallery discovering interesting and beautiful objects. Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection recently completed a major website redesign, with Plone as their chosen CMS, and online exhibits are an important part of the new site. They wanted many features, but they also wanted online exhibits to be easy for content editors - even interns - to create.
In this talk Sally Kleinfeldt and Alec Mitchell describe collective.exhibit the new open source Plone add-on for online exhibits that we have created for Dumbarton Oaks and for the Plone community. Sally will provide background about what Dumbarton Oaks wanted in their online exhibits. Alec will describe our implementation, covering our use of Dexterity content types, bulk content creation, and how we used templates to provide a rich feature set while still making it easy for inexperienced content editors to create exhibits.
Museums, libraries, art institutes, and many other types of organizations need online exhibits - websites that mimic the experience of walking through a gallery discovering interesting and beautiful objects. Commercial museum collections management systems often provide this, but they are expensive and their features are often limited or require extensive customization. Open source exhibit software has proliferated in recent years, and some of these systems now provide features that approach CMS functionality. But what if you are starting with Plone, which is already a full-featured CMS?
Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection is engaged in a major website redesign, and they have selected Plone as their CMS. Online exhibits will be an important part of their new website. They envisioned many features, such as image panning and zooming, timelines, favorites, and object comparison, and they also envisioned that online exhibits would be easy for content editors - even interns - to assemble. In this talk I will describe the online exhibit package that we have created for Dumbarton Oaks, and our incremental approach to defining and implementing it.

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.
