This document summarizes 30 newcomer sites that made the TOP500 supercomputing list for the first time in November 2012. It provides details on each site such as their rank, vendor, country, and system specifications. In total, there were 355 newcomer sites between 1993-2012, with the number of newcomers generally increasing over time except during periods of economic uncertainty. The document also presents survey results from TOP500 newcomers regarding what information they seek about the TOP500 project and supercomputing trends.
The first version of what became today’s TOP500 list started as an exercise for a small conference in Germany in June 1993. Out of curiosity, the authors decided to revisit the list in November 1993 to see how things had changed. About that time they realized they might be on to something and decided to continue compiling the list, which is now a much-anticipated, much-watched and much-debated twice-yearly event.
The TOP500 list is compiled by Erich Strohmaier and Horst Simon of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Jack Dongarra of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; and Martin Meuer of Prometeus, Germany.

The talk is about the paging system, an old technology in the 90's, used in healthcare, ICS and government, a systematic review of security impacts that it brought to us in the age of SDR, covering the United States, Canada, England and Japan. By sniffing known pager frequencies in the general vicinity of hospitals, factories and public facilities with a $20 DVB-T, we discovered that not only is pager technology alive and kicking, but much of the traffic is not encrypted, resulting in violation of privacy laws and more importantly, leaks of sensitive information. The talk is not about the protocol nor the hardware device.
A short presentation of what happens when the Journey of life dives into the Perl Community
Some of you may remember my to long LightningTalk last year in Kiev, as the oldest Send-a-Newbie ever
About how I was introduce into the Amsterdam PM group
… and about how I got int Kiev
… and ended the presentation with this slide,
pondering what would be my next move
So, you will have a quick update of what happened in a years time:
Doing a little promo-tour through Europe
Doing a few presentation called “the Clash of the Slashes”
Getting excited about new things going on
Meet amazing people doing crazy things
Reviving the NLPW
Joining the team to get YAPC to Amsterdam and have the best EU version ever
There is a common factor in what happened
and the people I met
… the Programming Language?
… events?
… the interesting people and what they do?
Something not so obvious …
Act!
ACT brings together:
Conferences, Workshops and Hackathons
and
You, privileged users, Administrators and a Sysop (or should I say 1?)
And it is a wonderful thing that makes it convenient for all off us
But…
… we want more, like
universal profiles, nice integrations with others, nice websites and a nice api
Unfortunately, this is not going to happen…
The current state of ACT…
it does need a remake
Where the “Next Generation” should go
the next step on ‘the Long Journey’
The current “Travel Guide” for Act-Voyager:
complete ORM instead of SQL
might rewrite of the Act Core
might port ACT to Dancer2
have a complete RESTful interface to build shiny things on top
make it simple to setup and manage
USS Enterprise had a crew of 140+ people
“Voyager” needs a crew:
- Someone stepped up
- Liz, most wonderful Grant Manager I could wish for
- Riba to keep a check on the health of the DBIx::Class
- Dancer2 core-dev team to power the “Voyager”

"It's not only who you know, but who knows you." - Janice Reals ElligCoolBrands People
Networking comes naturally to me – I love to connect people – at social as well as at business events.
I am intellectually curious about people, their lives, their situations; it broadens my perspective on life, business and the world. An ultimate lesson in my career is that beyond ‘who you know, it’s who knows you.’

MOOCs - disruptive innovation for higher education(rev1)William Hall
This hypertextual presentation relates to a nearly completed hypertext book on the co-evolution of and revolutions in tools humans use and human cognition (see below). Here the author focuses on the probably disruptive impacts of Massive Open Online Course (“MOOC) technologies on today’s educational institutions. The presentation is also constructed as a hypertext, comprised of four parts: (1) an Introduction explaining what disruptive innovations are and why they are important, what constitutes a MOOC, and who provides them; (2) examples of several different MOOCs including demonstrations of how they work transfer knowledge and develop understanding; (3) a review Saylor.org – a nonprofit foundation offering the equivalent of several different four-year college degree programs of courses; and (4) an introduction to the related organizations, Canvas Network – an aggregator offering access to a variety of secondary, tertiary, and practical courses, and Instructure.com – the parent organization that has developed a powerful open source platform for the construction of MOOCs. Disruptive innovations are those that help create new markets and value networks, and eventually go on to disrupt existing markets and value networks, displacing earlier technological paradigms leading to technological revolutions and sometimes even cognitive revolutions. Although only implied in this work, over the next decade or so, the innovations surveyed here will profoundly affect how educational content will be delivered, and may cause a revolution in your thinking about how education (teaching and learning) is delivered – especially in colleges and universities. This is only one of the major disruptive technological innovations in scholarship, teaching, and learning discussed in the author’s project, “Application Holy Wars or a New Reformation – A Fugue on the Theory of Knowledge” to be published by Koroit Institute (http://kororoit.org). It is anticipated that we will soon be seeking crowd funding to make the book available on the Web as a fully functional hypertext.
As part of my decision modeling class, a group of us set out to apply the principles of modeling to an area that didn't immediately come to mind... a number of ideas came up ranging from efficient bike routes to stopping nuclear proliferation (although figured our emails back and forth may put us on a terrorist watch list and thus bailed on that idea). Instead we focused on producing a model that would tell us what plants to put where in a home garden using a cool color coded map - this is our presentation of results.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
