An analysis of competing social computing platforms against SharePoint 2010. A lot of context is lost without the narrative, but for those who have seen Mike Watson and/or myself present, this will be a reminder.
Another attempt to demystify SharePoint Governance - SP Saturday BostonIlia Sotnikov
Odds are, you have never heard about Exchange Server governance or, say, Dynamics CRM governance. However, you can always expect to see governance as a topic at almost any SharePoint event, from an online webinar up to the Microsoft SharePoint Conference. Why is that? Does that mean SharePoint requires more attention than business critical systems such as email or customer relations databases?
In this session, we will try to remove the "buzzwordness" from SharePoint governance. We will review several real life examples that can help better understand the real place of formal processes and policies in SharePoint administration. Finally, we will discuss the role of governance in bridging the gaps between IT-specific decisions and organization's business objectives.
Key features to move Yammer users from casual to power users. Yammer adoption continues to rapidly expand, but like any other collaboration platform, most people understand the basic capabilities yet fail to dig down into the "power user" capabilities that help any user to move from causal use to high-productivity. This session walks through 15 tips and tricks to help participants get the most out of the Yammer platform.
Most enterprises are trying to understand -- and roll out -- social capabilities across the enterprise, but many are concerned about the lack of governance controls for social activities in SharePoint and Yammer. This presentation helps set the stage for what is available out of the box, and what organizations should be thinking about to better govern their social deployments.
A closer look at why social collaboration within the enterprise is more like eBay than Facebook, where its about purpose and function, not LOL Cats and pictures of what you ate for breakfast. This is a keynote presentation given at the 'SharePoint Success Stories' event in Cape Town SA in September 2013, followed by sessions at SPSCPT and SPSDBN.

SharePoint Governance - No one should carry the burden aloneBenjamin Niaulin
Building a SharePoint Governance is often complicated and complex. In this presentation I showed that it can and should be made out to be simple. With contextual Wiki pages instead of heavy PDFs it can provide a helpful SharePoint Governance to your users.
In fact, the key word to take away is "Guideline" and not policing SharePoint. Helping people use the platform correctly with Governance.
The session will address the different ways users can be authenticated in SharePoint: Active Directory, forms based authentication, claims based authentication, and anonymous access. I’ll discuss when to implement each method and what the best practices are for permission application and management. I’ll address when to use each method and when to implement other concepts like web application policies, extending web applications, laying out a decentralized security model.
To abide by this best practice, I’ll discuss how the farm’s taxonomy may need to be restructured. This is where administrators need to develop and enforce a governance plan around the farm’s taxonomy. Thinking about where lists, items, and groups need to be in a SharePoint farm will ensure the right eyes are seeing the right content- and nothing more.
The goal of the session is to ensure SharePoint content is secure and permissions do not get out of control. I’ll take a deep dive into what is available out of the box and what you can customize. Finally, I’ll also demonstrate how to utilize SharePoint’s auditing functionality to track who is changing permissions. The audit reports will be used to ensure the admins changing permissions are taking the correct action. When administrators know all their options around security, internal governance plans can be developed to safeguard their farm’s content.
A solid outline to get an organization started with their governance plan. All the topics they need to consider for a well thought out approach to govern and manage SharePoint as an IT service. Additional consultant commentary is included. Please see www.sharepointpmp.com for more on optimizing SharePoint, collaboration, ECM, Projects, and Knowledge Management in your organization.

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.

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.

So the question is – how can we leverage our sharepoint implementations to engage employees?
I’m a big proponent of benchmarking – we first need to figure out what engagement means to us as an organization – does it mean collaboration, contribution, a thoughtful culture?How can we measure these items?Most of us say we want collaboration, but really what does online collaboration mean to us? Does it mean that we are leveraging one-to-many conversations more than one-to-one conversations via e-mail?If this is a goal and it is for so many of us – sharepoint communities can help us
There’s nothing about setting up a community portal or a community site that’s unusual.
This will add the four community pages (Home, Categories, Members, and About) along with all the community Web Parts to your site. The key difference between the Community Feature and aCommunity Site is that only Community Sites will appear in the Community Portal. Sites with the Community Feature activated will also not use the community result template in search. The community functionality will be exactly the same.
