In the age of information overload, having a social media measurement practice is the key to successful execution of your social strategy. This presentation, presented at Social Media for Nonprofits, covers what data points tell you that your community cares and is willing to take action, a methodology to figuring what data is relevant to your outcomes, where to find the metrics that matter, and why setting up the right metrics can make the difference between knowing that people visited a page on your website, and if your social media actions sent them there.
When it comes to communication, telling stories with images and video has a power few other mediums have. These engaging and increasingly shareable visual mediums can articulate your organization’s vision, promote your programs and initiatives, and move people to action.
In this webinar, the fifth session in the latest 21st Century New Media Series from CALPACT and CHL at UC Berkeley's School of Public Health, join Mike Lawson from Diabetes Hands Foundation, and Dana Howard from Covered California, as they share their best practices for using images and video to strategically advance diverse advocacy, health promotion, and health education goals.

From fundraising to programs, from advocacy to evaluation, Tableau Foundation helps nonprofits make a bigger impact with their data. Thanks to the new Tableau for Non-profits program, most small nonprofits qualify for free copies of Tableau Desktop.
All organizations – even small ones! – have a vast amount of data at their disposal. But this data doesn't have to be confusing or useless. It can help you make informed decisions on program development, fundraising campaigns, reporting, and strategic planning. Tableau helps nonprofits use their data to change communities.
This “Getting Started” session will introduce nonprofit staff and leadership to Tableau’s powerful, easy-to-use business intelligence software. Through the session, attendees will learn how to:
- Understand the importance of data visualization for evaluation and storytelling purposes
- Connect to their organization's data on a PC, a server, in the cloud, or on the web
- Build compelling visualizations, dashboards, and storypoints
- Use quick filters to explore the intricacies of their data
- Share their data both inside and outside their organization
This is designed to be a beginner’s workshop, but if you’d like to get a head start on finding out why understanding data can be the key to building a stronger organization, check out Tableau's training videos at tableau.com/learn/training.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

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:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
