This presentation provides information on the experiences of Kurt Stoll and Josh Tabin as they have been trying to promote Houston startup companies through StartupHouston.com
What started as a collaboration space in April 2012 has grown into a groundswell of people committed to fueling the next great wave of companies. By the beginning of 2013, this movement needed an organizational structure to help drive greater awareness, diverse collaboration, and peer-to-peer education. Thus, Hypepotamus, Inc., was born. Today, we produce relevant media content, organize compelling events, and provide free access to a collaboration space in The Biltmore. Here is an overview of the first six months of the impact we've made and who's helped us along the way.
Peter Fraser of Insight Education [www.insighteducation] and Tiresias Media [www.tiresiasmedia.com] talks about the comparative advantages of crowd funding versus conventional fund raising channels.

Some Thoughts on Volunteering - Net2Houston Presentation 10-8-13Jeff Reichman
I gave a 20 minute talk to NetSquared Houston about volunteering on October 8, 2013. After the presentation, Bruce Haupt and I announced the launch of Open Houston.
This presentation was given by Kristi Trevarrow of Downtown Rochester at the Heritage Ohio Engaging Retailers Workshop on March 9, 2011 in Defiance, Ohio.
An overview appropriate for non-profit and academic environments on the fundraising cycle, how to raise money, where to start when looking for grants. A very appropriate presentation for fundraising trainings and newcomers to fundraising/grant-seeking. Fun slide at the beginning that shows how fundraising is like dating to find a spouse.
Developing a digital communication strategy for tools like Twitter and Facebook eliminates the pressure to simply chase buzzwords and hope for the best. With a comprehensive strategy, you have a clear framework for engaging your community based on your organization’s specific mission and resources.
In this webinar, digital strategist Stephen Warley of BostonKnows breaks down the key criteria for designing your digital strategy, including:
* Marketing goals
* Financial resources
* Time management
* Viral impact
* Technical abilities
* Community’s communication needs
With a comprehensive strategy in place, you can intelligently and methodically consider which communication tools suit your needs. Stephen weighs the pros and cons of the most prevalent tools.

The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.

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.

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.

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.
