The document discusses bad advice for destroying distributed teams. It outlines 4 phases: 1) destroy communication by not using proper collaboration tools, 2) destroy processes by not documenting them, 3) destroy infrastructure by not updating hardware/software and reducing office utilities, 4) destroy team and personal development by not sharing knowledge or doing team building. The takeaway is that strong values like communication, processes, infrastructure and development are important for any team, whether distributed or not, and destroying things is easier than building them.
This document discusses various communication methods in 2008 and focuses on wikispaces. It states that wikispaces encourages collaboration by allowing everyone to become an author and enables information sharing, including the embedding of multimedia files. Wikispaces also allows for workflow tracking and logging, is extremely cost effective, and maintains a historical record.

Wikigender is a wiki project started by the OECD Development Centre in 2008 to raise awareness of gender equality issues. It currently has over 900 articles contributed by nearly 800 users. Wikigender served as a pilot for Wikiprogress, which will be a statistical wiki to measure societal progress globally. Wikiprogress.stat will integrate gender and other statistical databases to assess progress. The presenter discussed how Wikigender was created inexpensively and quickly, and how it is now a vibrant community contributing to gender equality knowledge and measurement.
This document discusses promoting gender diversity in Wikipedia. It notes that the editor base is around 90% male and declining, which can lead to perspective bias in articles. The project aims to develop a diversity concept and guidelines to increase awareness of gender imbalance and provide a more welcoming environment for diverse editors through support and addressing issues like systemic bias and lack of motivation among some groups. The key challenges are balancing Wikipedia's principles of being bottom-up, inclusive, self-policing and autonomous with the need for change to enhance diversity.
This document discusses opportunities for universities to engage with Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects to develop digital skills. It provides examples of how the University of Edinburgh has partnered with Wikimedia, including by hosting a Wikimedian in Residence to deliver training and help integrate Wikipedia assignments and projects into various courses.

Reinforcing the bridge between researchers and global citizens by means of Op...Miquel Duran
This document summarizes a presentation on the social impact of Wikipedia and open knowledge. It discusses how open science practices like publishing open research and data can make scientific knowledge more accessible. While public engagement with open science may inspire both laypeople and researchers, it also risks intellectual property abuse if not practiced skillfully. The presentation argues that Wikipedia and open knowledge empower underprivileged parts of society by making knowledge more widely available. However, using new technologies to communicate science openly also requires having the right attitude rather than just resources. Scientists are encouraged to publish in open access journals, maintain blogs and social media, and edit Wikipedia to help close the digital divide.

Lydia Pintscher of Wikimedia Deutschland recommends Yash Nagar and his work during his internship.
Keynote talk for the Baltic Audiovisual Archival Council conference 2018 - 7-9 November in Tallinn, Estonia
http://www.baacouncil.org/cnf-2018
Presentation description:
Since the mid-2000s, cultural institutions around the world have worked together with Wikimedia volunteers in hundreds of collaboration projects. In these GLAM-Wiki projects, cultural organizations make their collections and specialized knowledge more widely accessible via the free encyclopedia Wikipedia and the free media repository Wikimedia Commons. In the past five years, Wikidata (Wikimedia's free, multilingual knowledge base) has gained a lot of influence in this area as well. As a very accessible and re-usable structured data and semantic web project, it has become a popular instrument for cultural institutions to publish collections as Linked Open Data, obtain multilingual data, place their collections in a much broader context, and enrich their collections with crowdsourced metadata. In 2017-19, Wikimedia Commons is also enhanced with structured data from Wikidata, with much improved APIs that make more smooth collaboration in GLAM-Wiki projects possible.
This keynote presentation provides a short overview of GLAM-Wiki collaborations and their impact, with special attention for the potential and use of Linked Open Data via Wikidata and via structured data on Wikimedia Commons. It includes examples of GLAM-Wiki projects by audiovisual archives and collections around the world.
The document proposes an advertising campaign for the BBC to demonstrate the importance of context in news and information. It suggests creating videos, digital ads and outdoor prints that show well-known facts or events but without important context, which changes the meaning. This would bring attention to how context is needed along with facts to understand the full truth. The campaign would be run on VKontakte, a social media platform popular in Russia, where BBC content and a community page could provide a reliable source of verified news and context that users currently lack.

Unsupervised Learning of an Extensive and Usable Taxonomy for DBpediaMarco Fossati
Talk given by fellow Claus Stadler at the 11th International Conference on Semantic Systems - SEMANTiCS 2015
Paper available here: http://jens-lehmann.org/files/2015/semantics_dbtax.pdf
This document outlines a Google Summer of Code project to teach machines to extract facts from Wikipedia articles by using machine learning and lexical semantics. It discusses extracting lexical units through part-of-speech tagging and statistical ranking, classifying frames and frame elements in an unsupervised or supervised manner, constructing a crowdsourced training set, and serializing the extracted facts into RDF triples for inclusion in DBpedia to discover new relations and populate the knowledge base automatically. The approach is demonstrated on soccer domain articles from the Italian Wikipedia.
The document discusses using analytics to understand wiki usage and collaboration. It provides an overview of MITREpedia's content structure and growth over time using statistics. Engagement is analyzed using edit, user, and view statistics. Collaboration is examined through multi-author editing data.

The approach is demonstrated on soccer domain articles from the Italian Wikipedia.
The document discusses using Linked Open Data from DBpedia to help with Unicode localization interoperability (ULI). DBpedia extracts structured data from Wikipedia and makes it available as Linked Data. It describes how ULI aims to standardize localization data exchange between tools. DBpedia data on abbreviations in over 100 languages was extracted and evaluated, finding it could help improve text segmentation precision and recall. The extracted data is being considered for inclusion in the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) to further standardization efforts.
This document discusses challenges and solutions related to data quality. It addresses issues with template-dependent and fully manual mapping approaches and proposes machine learning-based methods and mapping assistants as solutions. It also discusses problems with community-based ontologies like lack of coverage and proposes consistency checks and data-driven schemas using sources like Wikipedia categories to address them. Finally, it lists various multimedia data sources for photos, audio and video that could be linked.
This document discusses outsourcing FrameNet annotation to crowdsourcing. It presents a two-step and simplified one-step methodology for crowdsourcing frame and semantic role annotation. Experiments using these methods on the CrowdFlower platform showed that the simplified one-step approach had higher accuracy and was faster than the two-step approach. Lessons learned include that definitions need to be simplified for non-experts and negation and modality are difficult concepts. Further research directions include larger-scale experiments and linking entities to structured knowledge bases.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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).

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:

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).
