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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.

1. Windows 7 Secrets
Software Savings World
www.softwaresavingsworld.com
2. Topics
• Where we’re at from an industry perspective
• Windows 7 – the impact on end users
• Windows 7 – the impact on businesses
• “Windows 7 Secrets” – About the book, and
why I must hate myself
3. Optional topics
• Office 2010 and the Office Web Applications
• Microsoft’s cloud computing strategy
5. 2006-2009
• Windows Vista didn’t exactly get a positive
reception.
• That said, it delivered on Microsoft’s promise
to update the foundation of Windows to
something more modern.
• That foundation is used in Windows 7.
6. Windows 7
• Windows 7 is all about delivering on the
failures of Vista, real or imagined.
• Real: Better performance, simpler and more
efficient UI, more cohesiveness, etc.
• Perception: Microsoft is finally fighting back
with “I’m a PC” and other ads.
8. “Windows Vista done right”
• We’ve all heard this.
• Ironic? People universally embrace Windows
7. Which is really just Windows Vista R2.
• Low-level improvements: Smaller memory
footprint, better performance, 100s of tiny
usability tweaks.
• The whole is greater than the parts.
9. Picking the right version
• Virtually any home user: Windows 7 Home
Premium.
• Managed small businesses: Windows 7
Professional.
– Adds domain support, network-based backup,
EFS, Remote Desktop host.
• Enterprises: Windows 7 Enterprise.
– The full meal deal: BitLocker, BitLocker-To-Go
10. Setup
• Setup has been simplified.
• Clean install in 15-20 minutes.
• Upgrade: Averages a couple of hours.
(Or, as IDG News reported, “Microsoft:
Windows 7 upgrades to take 20 hours” Sigh.)
• Windows XP users: No upgrade for you.
• Don’t forget the Upgrade Advisor.
11. User experience
• Biggest end user changes are in the UI...
– Personalization with Aero Themes and slideshows.
– Major changes to the Taskbar – Pinning, Jump
Lists, Live Previews, and more.
– Notification area clean-up.
– Libraries and Windows Explorer.
– Windows Aero desktop effects: Aero Peek, Aero
Snaps, Aero Shake.
12. User experience
• Bundled apps
– Calculator
– Paint
– WordPad
– Sticky Notes, etc.
• Missing apps
– Windows Live Essentials fills the gaps
• You can also remove more apps than in Vista.
13. User experience
• Windows Touch
– Multi-touch now a full-fledged interface
paradigm, alongside mouse, keyboard,
stylus/tablet.
– Really does change the way you interact with the
PC.
• Windows Search 4.0
– Near-instantaneous search results.
– Harder to find thanks to Google.
14. Security
• Vista already got this mostly right.
• UAC has been overhauled, user gets fine-
grained control.
• Windows 7 still doesn’t ship with an AV
solution.
• The good news: Microsoft’s Security Essentials
is free and appears to be decent.
15. Networking and sharing
• Again, Vista already got this mostly right.
• Simpler Network and Sharing Center.
• HomeGroup sharing makes sharing
documents and digital media much easier.
• You can actually access a media library over
the Internet. (Watch as I fail to get this to
work!)
• Traditional sharing interfaces are still there.
16. Digital media
• Major updates to...
– Windows Media Player
– Windows Media Center
• No meaningful update to Windows DVD Maker.
• Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Live
Movie Maker are part of Windows Live
Essentials.
• Library views of digital media are also nice.
• Zune is the future. (Yes, really.)
17. Mobility
• Lots of work under the covers to improve
efficiencies and battery life on the go.
• Power management simplification and
improvement.
• Windows Mobility Center largely unchanged
from Vista.
• Connect to a Projector.
• Netbooks and Tablet PCs.
18. Internet
• Internet Explorer 8
– Big usability gains
– Questions about performance
• Email, contacts, and calendaring moved out of
the base OS: Now supplied by Windows Live
Mail in Windows Live Essentials.
• Windows Live Services complete the picture
for consumers.
19. Reliability
• Windows Backup gets evolutionary update.
– Now offers image-based system backup on all
SKUs.
– Network-based backups only on premium SKUs.
20. Compatibility
• Evolution of compatibility mode work from
XP, Vista. Works surprisingly well.
• Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode for small
businesses – that last mile solution for
compatibility.
22. Windows 7 at work
• It’s all about easing the pain.
• Simpler, more efficient environment for end
users and IT administrators.
• Some of these features require Windows
Server 2008 R2 as well. (“Better together”)
25. Taking it to the next level
• PowerShell 2 built-into Windows 7/R2.
• Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack
– A benefit of Software Assurance.
– App-V 4.5 R2 – Windows 7 integration.
– Several other high-value tools.
• Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010
– Get up and running with Windows 7/R2
deployments.
– Available now.
26. Making the case for Windows 7
• Spending money vs. investing.
• Windows 7 (and R2) come with real-world
TCO benefits and savings.*
– Overall savings of deploying Windows 7 over XP
averages about $115 per desktop per year.
– You can use the same hardware (unlike w/Vista).
• Additional benefits to going with R2 around
virtualization density, power savings, DA, etc.
* According to a Microsoft-sponsored Forrester study
28. Windows 7 Secrets
• An absolute time-suck with no obvious benefit to
the author(s).
• 1081 pages.
• Several months of work.
• Based on Windows Vista Secrets SP1 Edition
where possible.
• Most beneficial to consumers coming from XP.
• Less beneficial for Vista users, businesses,
developers.
31. Office 2010 components
• Traditional Office suite and individual
applications as before.
• Office Servers (i.e. SharePoint.)
• Office Mobile for Windows Mobile and Nokia
Symbian.
• Office Web Applications.
32. Office 2010
• Standardization on the ribbon user interface.
– Biggest deal here: Outlook.
– Not the slam-dunk that Office 2007 was.
• Major themes
– Anytime/anywhere access to Office and your
documents
– Full document fidelity preserved as you move from
interface to interface.
– High definition content with advanced visualizations.
33. Office 2010
• So what does this mean, really?
– Microsoft Outlook: Major UX changes.
– Excel, Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, etc.: Minor,
evolutionary changes.
– New capabilities around BackStage View, co-
authoring, and video.
34. Office Web Applications
• Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote are
heading to the web.
• (Closed) Tech Preview starts this week, beta
later this year.
• None of the web apps are fully capable. Word
can’t even edit documents yet.
• Designed as a companion to the full suite, not
a replacement.
• Browser agnostic: IE, Firefox, Safari.
