The document discusses social software design principles focused on the individual user. It argues that designers and developers often see metrics like user growth in multiples, while users experience social networks as connections between individuals. Successful social tools are personalized to manage users' networks and meet individual needs. The focus should be on attracting and retaining each person, not just growing user numbers or content.
Conversational Search from KM World / Enterprise Search & DiscoveryThomas Vander Wal
Conversational search (text and voice) is increasingly common and there are a lot of components that are needed to understand to start a pilot project.
Measuring What Matters for Maturity - KM World 2017Thomas Vander Wal
Thomas has been focussing on helping managers with how to improve analytics and measurement in social knowledge platforms beyond the common set of click analytics and pure counts that haven't been insightful nor helpful. He puts a focus on patterns that promote knowledge capture, as well as understandings around improving access, ease of finding, and use and reuse of knowledge that leads to success.
This presentation is from November 12, 2004 given at Design Engaged in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
It focusses on the difficulty syncing content and information between our own devices we own and use. We try to keep our information with us on our devices within our reach, but that is difficult. Adding contextual filtering to cut through the volume of information we have is another issue.
This syncing feeling problem is only slightly better than it was in 2004 when this was presented and the path forward is even more relevant.
Setting the structure for social comfort using social lenses to see and understand how to design for social environments.
Presented at World IA Day 2015, Washington, DC.

Using Personal Perspectives to Increase UnderstandingThomas Vander Wal
Keynote presentation to E-Learn 2013 in Las Vegas. Using personal annotations and embracing personal perspectives to enhance learning and increase knowledge.
A talk to CPFB covering some of the social lenses as well as reaching back into the Model of Attraction, receptors, come to me web, InfoClouds, and folksonomy.
This presentation was given to a sold out crowd at Salesforce UX Lecture Series in San Francisco.
This is the second presentation of this and it changed a bit. The focus is how to take the next we must take to improve our social software we are using, particularly for organization within their own walls. The shift of from the social patterns of early adopters to mainstream is really a large shift and things are really difficult to do as we have only just begun the trek again (groupware and KM were the two prior attempts).
Understanding how to look at things through different social lenses so to see what is going on is essential. This presentation is 6 or 7 of my 40+ (now just over 50) social lenses to help do this. This presentation is a high level view, but enough to see gaps and where things could and should change as we move forward.
This is a short presentation that was quickly put together for UX Barcamp DC. There are a few items that I hadn't put into slides before, but have been background in many other presentations.

Enterprise Social Tools & the Knowledge OrganizationThomas Vander Wal
This presentation was delivered as a keynote to three joint conferences - KM World, Enterprise Search, and Taxonomy Bootcamp - November 2009 in San Jose.
The focus is lessons learned from those who have been running social tools inside the enterprise for a year or more - the "One Year Club". This focuses not only the lessons learned but how to increase adoption by putting focus not on early adopters but all employees and their needs and pain points.
This presentation was a 10 to 20 minute presentation at Design Engaged 2005 in Berlin. The presentation was an exercise I was doing thinking through how to use our own data we were collecting and sharing out on the web and integrate it with the information from others we trust.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
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.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...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).

60. Folksonomy:Value
The value in this external tagging is derived
from people using their own vocabulary
and adding explicit meaning, which may
meaning
come from inferred understanding of the
information/object.
People are not so much categorizing, as
providing a means to connect items
(placing hooks) to provide their meaning in
their own understanding.
