Social Media: Are you maximising its potential? #AHEIAJoyce Seitzinger
Invited Speaker presentation at the Australian Higher Educational Industrial Association (AHEIA) conference in Sydney, 17 May 2013.
This audience consisted mainly of HR managers in higher education organisations, so I aimed to show the rise of the networked academic and the advantages of networked practices by employees, and ask them if/how the organisation's policies enable or support those networked practitioners.

"The rapidly changing communication landscape presents numerous challenges for PR professionals. Organizations depending on traditional media outlets to be the main and preferred communication channel to reach and influence audiences are often finding it harder to have their stories expand their reach with shrinking newsrooms.
PR pros must be adept at effectively integrating and managing the communication channels at their disposal. These new challenges provide us with new and exciting ways to leverage traditional PR techniques along with social media skills to help our organizations and clients remain visible and connected with key audiences."

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...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:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.
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).

There is no denying the influence of social media in current culture, be it professional or personal. Experts in social media argue we do not have a choice in whether we use social media. Instead, it is a question of how well we do it. This session, whichsupports the many efforts by TRB to promote the use of social media, will focus on how social media tools can be used for professional development and growth.
The idea for this session was influenced by my own personal growth in using social media. My background in communications first began when I was appointed the Communications Coordinator for TRB’s Standing Committee on Visualization in Transportation (ABJ95). In this capacity, I worked with the committee chair to integrate social media tools into the committee’s communication portfolio. Although the Visualization Committee already had an established website, we wanted a venue that could serve as an information repository and allow for dialogue outside of the Annual and Mid-Year Meetings. After researching several tools, we began using Ning. As I became more involved with committee communications, I joined TRB’s Committee Communication Coordinators Council (CCCC),which provides communication guidance to all standing committees. I helped organize a workshop for the 2011 Annual Meeting: Enhancing Communications: Engaging and Promoting Active Communications. Although this workshop focused specifically on committee’s use of social media, I learned so much about social media in general from the knowledgeable panel of speakers. Post-Annual Meeting, I left DC feeling inspired. I immediately made improving my professional communication portfolio a priority!
I have learned so much in the past year and met a multitude of awesome transportation professionals. Social media tools provide a medium for information sharing, networking, and career advancement. For example, my work often focuses on specific sectors within the transportation industry, namely transit. But while browsing my Twitter home feed during my daily commute; I can catch up on current news in other facets of the transportation industry. This has helped me to broaden my knowledge base and better understand the industry at large.More specifically, Lloyd Brown, Meghan Makoid, and I co-authored a TRB paperthat evolved from a single tweet posted on Twitter. We presented during a poster session this morning, and our paper is being considered for publication. As another example, a colleague of mine was hired to work on one of NYC’s largest capital projects – the East Side Access, purely because the right person saw his profile on LinkedIn. These are only a few examples. We will hear many more today from our panelists, and likewise, we want to hear from you.
Justas I was motivated during last year’s AnnualMeeting and continue to be inspired by experts in the field, the intent of this session is to help encourage other young professionals to consider using social media.Next, each of the panelists will introduce themselves. These transportation professionals will share their experiences in utilizing social media to build their communication portfolios and professional networks. We want this discussion, to be interactive, so please feel free to share your success stories, lessons learned, or challenges. We have some discussion topics prepared, but would love to hear from you too, so please contribute to the discussion with any questions or comments.
