Using social media to develop a professional online presenceSue Beckingham
Invited Speaker at University of East Anglia
The exponential growth of social media and ubiquitous use of mobile technology has changed the way we communicate both socially and for many also professionally. It is important to consider the implications and the impact of the digital footprint our online interactions leave behind. This workshop will help you to reflect on what your online presence looks like when viewed by others, consider who your audiences are and how you can develop your digital profile in a positive way.
Learn about some of the Web 2.0 tools that everyone is talking about and the fundamentals of a great website. We’ll tell you the good, the bad and the ugly. We’ll tell you what’s easy, what’s challenging, what you can try for free, and what might not be worth your time.
Consists of 2 workshops to help you get acquainted with online philanthropy:
* Philanthropy 2.0 – Web 2.0? What's Web 1.0? Learn about the difference as well as the basics on some of the more common social media tools being used including, Facebook, blogs, YouTube, Twitter and CanadaHelps Giving Pages. Find out how other charities are taking advantage of these tools and how yours can too!
* Websites 101 – Your website is one of the most important communication vehicles you have - is it working for your organization the way it should? Take your website from good to great by learning the fundamentals of what makes for a really good website, one that is user-friendly, attractive and drives up online donations.

This workshop is for organizations that dipped (or maybe dove headfirst) into social media, but are now wondering what the next steps are and how they can make their social media investment more focused and worthwhile.
Attendees Will Walk Away With:
- Knowledge of how social media is changing the way nonprofits operate and what it means to be a networked nonprofit --- Tips on how to determine which social networks your organization's key audiences are using and how to create a social media strategy
- Information on receiving buy-in from staff, management, and boards
The document discusses how charities can use Web 2.0 tools like blogs, social media, YouTube, and microgiving sites to engage supporters and raise funds, highlighting key differences between Web 1.0 static websites and Web 2.0's emphasis on interaction, user-generated content, and building online communities. It provides tips for using various Web 2.0 tools and debunks common myths about Web 2.0, encouraging charities to adopt these new methods gradually at their own pace.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Lisa Colton of Darim Online to the Wexner Foundation about embracing networks and using a network mindset. The presentation covered topics like social tagging, having a network mindset instead of a hub and spokes mindset, new rules for networks like adding value and listening, and content curation strategies. Experts like Beth Kanter and Chris Brogan provided tips on cultivating networks and relationships. The audience then participated in a group activity called "Chevruta" to begin creating their own networking strategy.
The document discusses blogging and social media as marketing tools. It provides counterarguments that blogging is overrated and ineffective as a standalone solution. It notes the lack of clear methodology for attracting people and measuring effectiveness. The document suggests using social engineering principles like social modification to better understand audiences and provide useful information through blogs and social networks.

5 steps to becoming a social enterprise andrew bishop-jacobsJacobs Australia
1) A social enterprise uses social software to connect employees, share knowledge openly, and improve collaboration. It focuses on people, connections between people, and open sharing of information.
2) Implementing social software in a business can increase productivity, speed of knowledge sharing, and employee satisfaction while reducing costs. It creates a more engaged workforce with better access to expertise.

Congratulations, you have an online community! Odds are, you also have an offline community. Are you using one to strengthen the other?
Most of the organizations I work with in my practice already have all the ingredients in place for a real, vibrant community that lives on and off line. Too often though, on- and offline are treated as separate worlds, with little effort made to bridge the gap. Communities thrive when there is varied and ongoing interaction. Merging physical and non-physical conversations, events, and activities is one of the strongest tactics for building community in the real world.
In this session, we'll talk about how communities form, the ingredients for engagement, the importance of culture, and tactics for bridging the gap.
Takeaways:
- An understanding of the different types and benefits of online and offline communities
- Tactics to kickstart their online and offline communities
- Ways to engage their communities both online and offline

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

•Specific to a particular place, job, or experience
•Tremendously valuable
10. Explicit Knowledge
•Documented knowledge
•Articulated knowledge, expressed and recorded as words, numbers, codes, mathematical and scientific formulae, and musical notations

12. The Wisdom of Crowds
“…under the right circumstances, groups are remarkably intelligent, and are often smarter than the smartest people in them.” James Surowiecki| Author of The Wisdom of Crowds
13. The Wisdom of Crowds
•Collective or groupintelligence
•#SPHelpor SPYAM
•Online customer reviews
•Three conditions necessary for the crowd to be wise
•Diversity
•Independence
•Decentralization
14. Diversity
•“…contributes not just by adding different perspectivesto the group but also by making it easier for individuals to say what they really think.”
15. Independence
•“The smartest groups…are made up of people with diverse perspectiveswho are able to stay independent of each other.”
16. Decentralization
•“…power does not reside in one central location…”
•Opposite of top-down management
•Crucial to tacit knowledge
•“…encourages independence and specialization…while still allowing people to coordinate their activities and solve difficult problems”
•Intelligent results require aggregating information
17. Decentralization Example: Linux
•Owned by no one
•People work on what they’re interested in and ignore the rest
•Single most important challenger to Microsoft
18. Collective Intelligence Example: Google
•[Collective intelligence is] “the reason the Internet search engine Google can scan a billion Web pages and find the one page that has the exact piece of information you were looking for.”
19. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
•Friends and relatives, collectively identified as “experts,” guessed correctly 65% of the time
•Polls of the audience—random people with nothing better to do—guessed correctly 91% of the time
20. Work Like A Network
“We believe the future of work is founded upon open, discoverable information sharing and constant collaboration that ultimately turns companies into networks. Today’s enterprise social and unified communication experiences are just the beginning.”
