All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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:

13. Interesting Facts
1900 - Born in Sioux City, Iowa
1925 - met Dr. Walter Shewhart,
1927 - received a Ph.D in Physics from Yale
1939 – Head Mathematician – National Bureau of
Census
During WW II worked with Shewhart on improvement
of quality of production or weapons using statistical
methods
14. 1946 - Statistics professor – NY University
1947 – invited by General MacArthur to come to
Japan as part of his economic and scientific staff
in rebuilding Japan
1950 – invited to return to Japan by Japanese
Union of Scientists and Mathematicians to
teach methods for achievement of quality
Jan. 1951 - began a series of lectures to every
single top manager in Japan
1974 – meeting with William Conway
June 24, 1980 – NBC’s show If Japan Can… Why
Can’t We? aired to 14 million people – later
became NBC’s most requested video of all time
15. Third Wave of the Industrial Revolution ***
He taught an average of ten 4-day seminars per year
between 1980 and 1993 reaching over 200,000
managers.
Almost every top manager in the country was exposed
to his teachings during those years
Upon Deming’s death in 1993 in one obituary it was
written that Deming’s reply to writer for how he
wanted to be remembered was -
“Well, maybe… as someone who spent his life
trying to keep America from committing suicide.
***- Deming and Goldratt by Lepore and Cohen pg 151
16. Basic message:
The cause of inefficiency and poor quality is the
system, not the employees and it is management’s
responsibility to correct the system in order to
achieve desired results.
17. Message to Japanese Management
1. Production must be seen as a system encompassing
customers and suppliers in a win-win situation.
Customer is the most important part of the system
Suppliers are partners
2. Quality is made in the boardroom – never blame the
workers.
3. Improving a process creates a chain reaction.
4. Continuous learning and improvement follow the
PCDA (Shewhart) cycle.
5. There is a need for trust and cooperation between
companies. Anything new learned in one company
must be shared with all including competitors.
18. One can say that the content of my seminars… and the content of my books…
are based in large part on my understanding of Shewhart’s teaching. Even if only
ten percent of the listeners absorb part of Dr. Shewhart’s teachings, the number
may in time bring about change in the style of Western management. – Dr.
Deming
Reducing variability in production will improve
quality.
Two types of variation:
Common causes
Special causes
Statistical control – a process needs to be in a
stable state with identifiable action limits
19. Key Deming Tools
Deming did not teach statistical tools – he
taught how to interpret them and their
implications to the system.

43. Crosby
Zero defects, Quality is free
Quality means conformance to requirements.
The real costs of quality are the costs of non-conformance (such as
rework, scrap, and warranty costs).
Do it right the first time and we avoid these costs, thereby
improving profitability.
44. Crosby: Absolutes of Quality
Quality is conformance to requirements
The system of quality is prevention
The performance standard is zero defects
The measurement of quality is the price of non-conformance
45. Crosby: Price of conformance and non-conformance
The costs of quality (COQ) are similar to Juran’s.
Prevention costs (design reviews, supplier evaluations, training, preventive maint.)
Appraisal costs (inspections and tests to determine conformance to requirements)
Failure costs (rework, scrap, warranty costs, lost sales, product liability)
Crosby emphasizes that prevention efforts help us avoid failure costs and
appraisal costs.
Prevention allows us to increase profits without increasing sales, buying new
equipment, or hiring people.
