Social Media for the Travel and Tourism industryEvo Terra
An abbreviated version of a lecture I gave to the Cochise County Travel & Tourism workshop. The topic: getting involved in social media. In attendance were 100+ business owners from south eastern Arizona, most of which had limited engagement with social media.
This is very much a BEGINNER class. You won't find advanced topics here.
A look at the evolution of travel planning and marketing.
This presentation was delivered to tourism-related organizations across the Southeast by two presenters from Luckie and Company: VP/Director of Brand Planning David Stutts and Social Media Strategist David Griner.
This presentation was part of the Luckie summer of 2009 speaking circuit to tourism groups in the Southeast. It covers the emergence of what we call Traveler2.0 and how they use social media and networking tools to not only plan their own vacations, but how they influence likeminded travelers. The back half of the presentation gives practical tips and examples of how tourism marketers can become involved in a meaningful way in this congested social media world. The presentation of this deck has a joint effort between Luckie’s David Stutts and David Griner.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
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).

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.

Trip Advisor has user generated content, social networking
functionality, as well as links to quality content providers for

Hostelworld upgraded their site to provide additional community

23. Strategic Options
The Decision Framework
• Short term savings
Do Nothing:
• Large opportunity cost (entry into new markets)
“Wait and See” • Delay will mean a loss of competitive advantage
• Approach is to self funding through business
partners
Measured approach • Small incremental spending
“Engage with market” • Seizes opportunity to edge ahead of competitors
• Provides option to accelerate when basics are in
place, or reduce spending if revenue is not realized
• Investment in Fundamentals
Heavy commitment • May require acquisition to ramp up
“Grow the market” • Requires larger scale investment to win a
position
