As organizations look to expand their SharePoint on premises footprint using social, mobile, or cloud based platforms and services, some governance considerations. Presented originally at SharePoint Saturday Virginia Beach 2013 (#SPSVB)
Metadata Management In A Social Media World, Spsbos, 2 2010Christian Buckley
Presentation given at the Feb 27, 2010 SharePoint Saturday event in Boston (Waltham, MA) by Christian Buckley, Senior Product Manager with echoTechnology. The premise of the presentation is that metadata and taxonomy drive the integration and business utility of social media.
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.
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.
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.

The Connection Between Metadata, Social, and Personal ProductivityChristian Buckley
Presentation given at SharePoint Saturday UK in Nottingham, UK on Nov 12th, 2011. Describes the importance of metadata to social tools, and how social drives personal productivity in SharePoint.
SharePoint out of the box is a powerful platform. Unfortunately, many organizations seem to think that governance is also out of the box. It isn't. The result? Site sprawl, unfettered content, and general process lawlessness. This is a fairly common problem, and there are definitely steps you can tackle to quickly get back on track. In this session, we'll discuss several real-world strategies for gaining control over your SharePoint environments, better aligning your SharePoint efforts with organizational goals, and dramatically improving your chances of meeting end user expectations.

In this session, we will walk through a five-point migration methodology that supplements existing project management processes with a more holistic view of what it takes to successfully migrate your environments. We’ll examine tactical steps, and provide guidance on this iterative approach, focusing heavily on information architecture and governance. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of the gaps within their current planning efforts, and actionable steps to get back on track.
Cleaning Up Information Architecture in SharePoint and Other Jedi Mind TricksChristian Buckley
Presentation given at the NYC SharePoint User Group on December 7th 2011 on the importance of information architecture and governance planning in a successful SharePoint deployment or migration.
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.
Building and maintaining your information architecture (IA) in SharePoint is an important and ongoing operational activity.
As Microsoft Teams quickly spreads across your organization, its fast-paced deployment and ease-of-use capabilities make it a powerful hub for team collaboration, but can also mask the complexity of its underlying IA needs.
In this IntraTeam (https://intrateam.dk) webinar (held January 30, 2019), Microsoft MVP & RD Christian Buckley provided an overview of the unique IA considerations for Teams with the goal of helping viewers better understand the interdependencies and gaps to be filled as their Teams planning gets underway.
An updated version of my presentation walking through and comparing apples-to-oranges social computing solutions, and what is available out-of-the-box and through partner solutions in SharePoint 2010.

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).
Speakers:

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:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

21. The Role of Metadata

Taxonomy Ad Hoc
Metadata
23.
24. Why taxonomy is important
(a very realistic scenario. really)
25. 1. When you don’t have a plan for
metadata, it impacts the quality of
your taxonomy
26. 2. When your taxonomy is weak, it
impacts your overall information
architecture
27. 3. When you don’t have a plan for
metadata, it also impacts your ability
to utilize the full potential of social
28. 4. A weak information architecture
impacts your ability to properly
govern your environment
29. 5. Without proper governance,
you open up your environment
to site sprawl
30. 6. If you allow site sprawl to take
hold, people begin to undervalue
their roles, and the value of the
platform within the company
31. 7. When people undervalue the
value of the platform, they begin to
question other decisions being
made by the management team
32. 8. When people question
management, a general feeling of
apathy and corporate malaise begins
to fester
33. 9. When people start not caring
about work, they tend to call in sick
or avoid any real accountability
34. 10. As worker productivity slides,
management looks for other
opportunities to automate and drive
down costs and increase
productivity
35. 11. In the search for increased
productivity, management will begin
replacing basic functions with
complex systems, including robotics
36. 12. As the robots improve
productivity and increase output,
management spends more to build
even bigger and better robots
37. 13. As the robots increase in
intelligence and capability, they then
begin creating their own kind
38. 14. As the robots slowly take over,
humans begin to revolt and fight
back against the machines
39. 15. Just as the humans begin to turn
the tide, that’s when the aliens
attack
40. 16. Unlike the movie War of the
Worlds (with Tom Cruise), the aliens
have been living among us for many
years (Tom most likely one of them),
adapting to our biological ecosystem
41. 17. After several more hundred
years, the aliens will use up all of our
natural resources, and depart from
earth, leaving us with a damaged
shell of a planet
42. 18. As humans begin to sort through
the alien and robot trash that covers
90% of our planet, they create a
basic form of government for the
few who remain
43. 19. The new government strings
together from the wreckage a few
old computer systems in an effort to
better catalog remaining supplies
and coordinate with remote human
outposts
