Education, The Pending Asset
Education has hardly improved in the
last thousand years, and most
importantly: no educational model
lets people earn money while they
study. On the contrary, they have to
invest in their own education hoping
to earn that money back in the long
term.
There are, as we see it, four main problems in education:
1. People cannot earn money studying, they have to spend more
instead.
2. Students often lack motivation, so they often stop studying.
3. Teachers can’t earn money depending on the value of the students
that they generate, and are not fairly retributed for their efforts.
4. There is a huge gap between employment and education, withmillions of jobs unfilled.

The Role of Telecentres in e-Health Solutionstistalks
This document discusses the role of telecenters in e-health solutions. It describes WHP's social franchising model which uses telemedicine technology to provide health services at scale and in a sustainable way in rural areas. The model formalizes relationships through technology, provides sufficient incentives to drive standards, and leverages existing resources. WHP has established a social franchise network of over 5,000 rural franchisees, clinics, and labs connected through their ReMeDi telemedicine platform. The model has been applied to provide primary care, family planning, tuberculosis treatment, and care for childhood pneumonia and diarrhea as well as maternal health. Results so far indicate the model is making markets work for the poor by extending health services to vulnerable communities.

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:

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.

Scenario in Brazil...
Government currently focusing on digital inclusion centers in public schools
(178,000 in Brazil), no longer in gov’t sponsored telecenters. Ongoing
programs with telecenters will be kept, but will no longer incentivated.
Two important issues: connectivity is available only for 50% of all
municipalities in Brazil, and the use of schools out of the daily classes period.
Challenge: how to offer broadband access to all the 5550 municipalities in
Brazil? PRO-UNI is in course in order to provide access to all
schools/municipalities.
Youth has been the driver of the telecenters and cybercafes movement in
BRazil, mainly of the pheriferal area of major cities. Penetration in rural and
isolated areas is still too small. Public telecenters is a phenonenon only in the
surrondings of large cities
The role of telecenters as incubator centers is a challenge. How to use them
to foster new and innovative businesses and opportunities? How to incentivate
that idea?
6. 6
Scenario in Brazil...
Challenge: How to engage the private sector on the
telecenter movement, establishing sustainable businesses in
telecenters?
Social telecenters: community seizes knowledge of IT
benefits (community empowerment)
Telecenters in Brazil: many isolated initiatives, no sharing of
experiences and expertises.

Sustainability and the ATN history
ATN was a spin-off of the MDIC-Ministry of Development
Industry and Commerce in Brazil that was create in 2006 in
order to develop strategies that could bring sustainablity for
the network of Telecenters created by MDIC.
MDIC created the network donating computers that were
obtained from government companies.
The challenge was to create a business model that would be
able to bring sustainability to ATN itself plus to the ATN
network.
Question: how to do that?
Idea: use the telecenter network as a channel...
(for multiple purposes...)

Challenges of ATN at the begining...
•Find the right partners in the Corporate sector
•Develop the necessary skills to play in the Educational sector
•Entrepreneurial behaviour
•Use the network of its management team to approach the
potencial partners
• Clearly understand the telecenters movement in
Brazil, trends and gaps, and position ATN in a way that it can
be sustainable in that environment
20. 20
The role of an entrepreneural
management…
•The importance of personal network to help the business
•Open the doors at the public sector for partnerships with ATN
•Personal relationship of ATN management with the Corporate
Sector
•Competence of the ATN management to run the organization
in a profitable way
•Identification of opportunities by developing a detailed
strategic plan for mid/long term.
21. 21
Analysis of products that could be
offered via Telecenters...
Most of the telecenters do not have a Tax ID, and therefore can not
sell products.
Physical products could not be sold on telecenters
Telecenter’s managers have no skill to sell physical products
Telecenter have no places to keep a stock of products
Education is the main focus of telecenter users
Conclusion: to use telecenters as commissioned sales agents for
products that do not need a warehouse and the transaction
will not require an invoice. Courses/training fits very well on
the strategy. Distant Learning was the best approach.
