Prepping Your Program for the Pro Bono Tech Volunteer (#12NTCProbono)VolunteerMatch
Recruiting technology volunteers isn't just the domain of CTOs and system administrators - your organization's program staff should be thinking about pro bono tech needs too.
That's because program managers are often able to view tech needs from the perspective of delivering actual services to real people. After all, they are often the ones using the digital tools, the custom Web service, the CRMs, and the mobile apps (and often training service recipients and partners as well).
In this panel discussion from 2012 Nonprofit Technology Conference led by VolunteerMatch's Robert Rosenthal (@volmatchRobert), program staff will hear from pro bono volunteering experts, corporate engagement officers, and pro bono team leaders about the trends, tips, and practices required to be a great pro bono partner. Panelists include Ian Rhett (CEO of CivicActions), Ehren Foss (Co-founder and CEO of HelpAttack! and Social Actions nerd), and Eileen Yang (Taproot Foundation). Beyond issues like scope, skill sets, and project collaboration, we'll look at how program staff can help your organization position itself to find and engage great pro bono tech teams.
Session Takeaways
1. Learn what techies, agencies and companies often look for in a pro bono partner (and how to rock the engagement from your side)
2. Learn what models and tools are available to help you assess your tech needs for pro bono engagement.
3. Find out about platforms and partners that can help pro bono volunteers and CSR administrators find your organization.

A smart and practical assessment of the strategic value of peer-to-peer social fundraising drives, a promising trend in online giving, for NPOs large and small

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.

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:
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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

5. How should I use Facebook?
• Tell stories that touch
the heart
• Show the results
of your work
• Invite, encourage and
praise others to share
• Share news articles, blog posts and other content
from around the web
• Illustrate your history – use “milestones”
• And, very occasionally for fundraising
6. Manage your page actively
• Post regularly – minimum 3x per week
• Mention others by using the @ symbol in your post
• Learn to “use Facebook as your organization”
• Respond to those who comment and thank them
7.
8. Manage your page actively
• Write posts that inform
• Write posts that educate
• Write posts that celebrate
10. Manage your page actively
• Post “the ask” to donate only when absolutely
necessary
• And, when you do, keep it the context of the
conversation that you’re facilitating on your page
24. Facebook is mobile
• Facebook has over 488 million mobile users
• Plays nicely with GiveMN Mobile

You can upload a JPG, GIF, or PNG file. The
image should be 111x74 pixels.
28. Facebook Groups
Groups are different than Pages on Facebook and are especially
useful in creating a community. No one can post as an
organization and members share ownership of the page.
If your goal is to generate an active group of people for
conversation and action, perhaps a group is the way to go.
Your Facebook page should fill a need for fans of your page. As your status updates and posts trickle into their own Facebook news feed, will they learn about how their support is making a difference? Will they learn about more ways to help? Will they be entertained and uplifted? Will they find resources that they can share with their friends? Ask yourself these questions about what your Facebook page is doing for fans.Facebook’s Timeline design is also helpful in illustrating your organization’s history. Take time to add “milestones” using photos and text. When did your organization start? What were some of your biggest accomplishments as an organization? Did you move to a new location or open a new location? Facebook isn’t the best place for making fundraising appeals. Appeals should come up organically. For example, when a disaster strikes and folks are looking for ways to help or one event days like Give to the Max Day where there are prize grant incentives on the line. Donor fatigue sets in FAST on social networks.
How often to post to Facebook. Don’t you just wish someone would tell you how often to do it? 3x per week should be your minimum. That said, posting frequency isn’t a magic number and it’s not a scientific formula. It’s a relational equation. You might post 15x in one day if you’ve got an event going on and you’re sharing photos, videos, status updates and announcements. You might post 2x per day if you are sharing helpful information, news stories or cheerleading others. Let the content drive your decisions about how often to post.Second, engage with others by liking their pages on Facebook, then “mention” them in your own posts on your page by using the @ symbol. This ensures they see your post in their notifications.Third, learn to “use Facebook as your organization.” This is beneficial when you wish to visit other fan pages to post as your organization, not yourself.Fourth, respond to people who comment, or even like your posts. Thank them. Ask them follow up questions. BE SINCERE. BE FRIENDLY. DO NOT BE CREEPY OR FAKE.

So, what types of things should you be posting on your Facebook page? Consider your organization’s strategic goals. Write posts that inform, educate and celebrate.If you want a particular post to be more noticeable, you can pin it or highlight the post.
So, what types of things should you be posting on your Facebook page? Consider your organization’s strategic goals. Write posts that inform, educate and celebrate.If you want a particular post to be more noticeable, you can pin it or highlight the post. Pinning a post ensures it stays at the top of your wall for 7 days. You can only have 1 pinned post at a time.Highlighting a post expands it across your wall, making it more visible (great for videos!). It stays in chronological order in the timeline.
Asking for donations on your Facebook page isn’t the best way to actually get donations and you can run the risk of turning off Facebook fans. Remember that your goal with Facebook is to engage fans about the cause. There’s a time to ask for money.Not every conversation needs to end with you asking for money or directing people to the donate page. This should only be used when the Facebook conversation moves to an actionable step where the community wants and seeks ways to make an impact based on what is being discussed.
For example, in times of disaster people are especially inclined to make a financial contribution and are actively looking for ways to help. Let them know how by posting a link to your donation page.Often, during fundraising events, like Give to the Max Day, it’s generally expected that you’ll be asking for donations to earn matching dollars or win prize grants.
Facebook comments can be tricky. For many organizations it’s a struggle to generate comments – while for others, comment threads can take on a life of their own. Case in point, during Give to the Max Day one nonprofit’s Facebook posts received comments that showed donors were sharing tips for cheating in an attempt to make sure the nonprofit won prize grant money. This conversation should have been monitored and the moderator should have intervened to discourage talk of gaming the system.
Facebook’s admin panel includes a notifications section so you always know when you have new notifications, such as when someone comments on a link or post. Use this to keep tabs on activity.
Insights are the analytics of your Facebook page and can tell a lot about the effectiveness of your Facebook efforts. Use Insights to review your Facebook activity regularly and adjust strategy accordingly.When you enter the main Insights dashboard you’ll see an overview with the total number of likes (and whether this is increasing or decreasing), the number of friends of fans available (this is the potential number of people you can reach!), how many people are actively talking about your page (a “story” is created anytime – someone likes your page; posts to your page wall; likes, comments on or shares one of your page posts; and mentions or tags your page) as well as your total weekly reach (unique people who have seen any content associated with your page).Insight’s like tabtakes you to the demographics as well as the locations of your fans. You’ll also see where likes came from and when unlikes occurred. (Helpful in determining if certain content is turning off fans.)Insight’s reach tab takes you to information about how much of your content is being seen, liked, commented on and shared by fans. It also provide demographic information. This is different than the like tab, which provides information about your fans. Reach provides information about the fans’ who are actually seeing your content.Insight’s talking about this tab takes you to information about how your content trends over time. Most important metrics to watch? Reach and likes are important because they are about “audience.” Talking about this is important because it’s about “interaction and affinity.”http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6aehIYSgYwU#!

Facebook Advertising can be a great way to ensure more people see your posts or click on links you want to share. Facebook offers two advertising solutions: Ads and sponsored stories (aka promoted posts).The “Advertise on Facebook” page will guide you through choosing the best type of advertising based on your goals. If you want to promote an event or a link not on Facebook, then it will guide you through the creation of an ad.You can create a headline and brief text and upload an image. You can also select if you want people to see if their friends “like” your Facebook page.
If you want to promote a Facebook page or a specific Facebook post, it will guide you through the creation of a sponsored story.It will ask you which page and then if you want to promote a specific post or the most recent post.
The next section (similar for both ads and sponsored stories) guides you through options for the audience you wish to reach with the ad or post. You can choose state, county, city or zip code. You can select by age, gender and interests (as listed on Facebook) You can even target people only connected to GiveMN or not connected, or people whose friends are connected to GiveMN. There are even more advanced targeting options.Now we’re all on the other side of the Facebook privacy debate! This is personal information on Facebook made available for us to target our advertising. How does it feel? : )
The next section allows you to set your budget and schedule for the ad. (This section is slightly different for sponsored stories).
For sponsored stories, this section looks a little different. It allows you to set your budget and start promoting the post right away. If you select “like my page” under objective, the pricing will be determined by impressions, not clicks. If you choose “click on my ad or sponsored story” under objective, pricing can be set a bid price for each click.
Why Facebook Ads? Reach more people. Targeted advertising.Promote your posts. You can set the budget. You get analytics of every ad campaign from Facebook.Mobile advertising. A study by TBG Digital showed that Facebook mobile ads were clicked 13x more than desktop ads. (Mobile only is available to API and Power Editor users only)
Time spent on Facebook’s mobile site and apps per month (441 minutes) has finally surpassed usage of its classic website (391 minutes) — for Americans who use both Facebook interfaces according to the latest report from comScore.

Groups, as opposed to Pages, are designed to facilitate online community-building. The mere fact that admins must post as people changes the internal dynamic of the group conversation. It becomes more personal. Group members are notified when anyone posts, as opposed to relying on it appearing in a news feed. The conversation tends to focus on issues, experiences, and connections.
