Social Media & Civic Engagement: Findings And Recommendations Summary TableYasmin Fodil
The following document is a two-page summary of the Recommendaitons and Findings from our main reseach report on Using Social Media to Enhance Civic Engagement in U.S. Federal Agencies.
Using Social Media to Enhance Civic Engagement in U.S. Federal AgenciesYasmin Fodil
This report was created by Yasmin Fodil and Anna York for their Harvard Kennedy School masters thesis, and looks at the use of social media to enhance civic participation in the United States and the United Kingdom in order to make recommendations to U.S. federal agencies on how to move forward.
(En el relato bíblico, Dios creó el universo de la nada; durante cinco días puso
orden en lo creado, el sexto día creó al hombre, el único ser de la creación
hecho “a su imagen y semejanza” y destinado a “dominar” el resto de la
creación; al séptimo descansó. A la mujer, la creó después de la costilla de
Adán y fue ella la que tentó a Adán para que actuara en contra de la palabra
de Dios. Por esto fueron expulsados del paraíso. Es decir, la mujer es el origen
del pecado y el mal en el mundo

Improving the Coworking Experience in New York City (NYC)Yasmin Fodil
We approached this exploration from a service design perspective – analyzing how the design of the space, facilities and amenities offered, staff involvement, and coworker interaction affects the experience and addresses the needs of coworkers in that space.
We found that coworking spaces in NYC cater to a wide range of professionals; from artists, to lawyers, to coders, to filmmakers – and come in many shapes and sizes. Through our exploration of local spaces and their members we realized that there is no one set of standards that all coworking spaces should follow. Companies have a variety of differing requirements and desires in mind during their search for the ideal coworking space.
We created a series of recommendations around online project management tools that Veterans Service Officers can use to manage their large and ever-growing client base.
This case study describes the process we used to design the requirements for a new application that better serves Veterans on the web. Human Centered Design // Ideation // Innovation // Government.

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.

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).

STEP I: ISOLATE A PROBLEM OR QUESTION
What problem are you trying to solve through digital engagement?
STEP II: SET YOUR ENGAGEMENT GOALS
Some examples include:
1. All/most/many of my constituents will have the information
they need
2. We will get useful feedback on our policy that will lead to a
higher quality product and will result in support from the
community
3. Citizens will have the opportunity to interact with an inform
policy, deepening the democratic process
4. Tapping into a low-cost and high quality source of information
and creating a high quality product
5. Delegating the task of making decisions to the people that it
will impact most
6. Experimenting with a new form of policy making
STEP III: DETERMINE YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE
Do you need experts in a particular field or general citizens?
Do they have access to data and records?
Are they interested in/impacted by the issue?
Is there a pre-existing relationship between the agency and constituent
group?
STEP IV: ARTICULATE YOUR CAPACITY
What are your staffing and funding resources? (i.e. one full time
person vs a part time person)
How long are your resources available for? Does this period coincide
with the period of planned engagement?
Is this a long term engagement or a short term engagement?
STEP V: SELECT YOUR TOOL
Use a blog, twitter, or facebook to share information over a long
period of time
Create a blog and ask people to comment on your posts
Set up an ideascale project to allow citizens to deliberate over a
particular policy or course of action.
