The document provides tips for effectively using PowerPoint for presentations. It recommends:
1) Using the outline view to develop the content before focusing on design.
2) Choosing high contrast colors for readability and a dark background with light text.
3) Using a large enough font size so the audience can read the text.
4) Disabling animations and movements that distract from the presenter.
What is Powerpoint
PowerPoint is a Microsoft application used to create presentations that can be displayed on computers or projected. It allows users to easily create professional-looking presentations with features like templates, layouts, and designs. Presentations consist of slides that can include text, images, charts, and other media. Users can view slides in Normal or Outline view and can add animations and transitions between slides to enhance the presentation.

This document discusses effective uses of PowerPoint for instructional presentations and case studies. It notes that PowerPoint can aid learning if used carefully, but may hinder it if overused or misused. It provides examples of how PowerPoint can be used to engage students through problem-based lectures with questions, role-plays, and interactive response systems. It also describes using PowerPoint to approximate paper worksheets to illustrate processes step-by-step. The goal is to make presentations more interactive and focus on critical thinking rather than just conveying information.
Powerpoint tips and guidelines
The document discusses how color choices in PowerPoint presentations can influence mood and messaging. Bright colors like yellow and orange convey excitement while darker colors such as blue and grey provide a calm, mature tone. The document also provides tips for effective PowerPoint design such as using one main topic per slide, including images to support ideas, and using proper formatting and punctuation.

Effective usage of power point presentation
The document provides tips for developing effective PowerPoint presentations. It recommends:
1) Developing the content of the presentation first before considering visual design elements like colors and graphics. An outline helps ensure solid content.
2) Using sufficient color contrast between text and background for visibility, such as dark blue background with white text. Font size should be at least 24 point for readability.
3) Preventing the mouse pointer from appearing on screen during presentations by using keyboard shortcuts to avoid distracting the audience.
4) Including backup slides at the end to avoid accidentally dropping out of the presentation if more slides are advanced than intended.

"Visualizing the Article: An Exploratory Study of Undergraduates' Educational Reactions to Images in Scholarly Articles"
Following the popular Visual Literacy Case Studies session that premiered at the 2012 annual conference, this session follows that same purpose while expanding the definition of what it can mean while meeting in Providence, Rhode Island—the Creative Capital, a city that serves as a factory for and of non-traditional learners. As background: A term first coined in 1969, visual literacy, according to the Association of College and Research Libraries “Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education,” “is a set of abilities that enables an individual to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media. Visual literacy skills equip a learner to understand and analyze the contextual, cultural, ethical, aesthetic, intellectual, and technical components involved in the production and use of visual materials. A visually literate individual is both a critical consumer of visual media and a competent contributor to a body of shared knowledge and culture.”

ORGANIZER/MODERATOR: Elizabeth Berenz, Artstor
PRESENTERS:
• Colette Lunday Brautigam, Lawrence University
• Allan Kohl, Minneapolis College of Art and Design

Beyond traditional collections in visual resources that have a broad appeal to the humanities, special collections that come about due to faculty members’ contributions or research interests have unique content and add significance to a general VR collection. In this session, three speakers will present about special collections at their institutions that were driven by faculty and campus interests. Colette Lunday Brautigam will speak about the Studio Art Major Senior Exhibitions image gallery in Lux, the Lawrence University institutional repository, which contains four images by each graduating studio art major, and the Lawrence University Department of Theatre Arts Productions collection in Shared Shelf Commons (http://www.sscommons.org/openlibrary/welcome.html#3|collections|7729516||Lawrence20University20Department20of20Theatre20Arts20Productions|||), which contains images and programs from theater productions produced by the Department of Theatre Arts. Allan Kohl from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design will speak about practical guidelines for determining whether to accept faculty contributions to a visual resources collection, including the crucial role of the faculty member as participant in the process (see his recent VRA Bulletin article here: http://online.vraweb.org/vrab/vol39/iss3/2/). Jason Roy from the University of Minnesota will speak about image collections contributed by a retired faculty member after 40 years of extensively collecting Indian textiles and related objects (see http://umedia.lib.umn.edu/taxonomy/term/778 and http://umedia.lib.umn.edu/taxonomy/term/769).Sponsored in part by the Department of Art History, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
VRA 2012, Visual Culture, Losing Site Online
This document discusses the challenges of teaching web design history in higher education. It notes that there is no comprehensive textbook on web design history and limited credible resources, as images of old websites are scarce and often low quality. It presents some potential resources like the Wayback Machine, Communication Arts archives, and AIGA Design Archives, but notes they have limitations. It argues that a centralized, organized and usable website archiving system is needed, along with increased awareness, as well as solutions to issues like management, archiving methods, copyright, and cooperation between organizations.

VRA 2012, Emerging New Roles, “The Oxford Experience”
Presented by Victoria Brown at the Annual Conference of the Visual Resources Association, April 18th - April 21st, 2012, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Session: Emerging new roles for VR professionals: research into and beyond the arts
At a time of international financial instability, with positions constantly under threat, analogue collections facing forced closure and space at a premium, this session will hear from VR professionals who are reinventing themselves and evolving roles in changing landscapes, pushing into new disciplines and spaces.
Each speaker will discuss the new roles they have taken on, either by accident or design and how their experiences are shaping their view of the VR profession in “the tens”. In many cases this has meant working across disciplines; making their professional presence felt in the classroom and the boardroom; developing new skills but in all cases, broadening their horizons through collaboration.
Speakers will discuss supporting courses beyond traditional visual arts, design and art history; collaborating with libraries, IT and faculty in course development and delivery; working with artists and archivists to preserve and expose their work, collections and archives; building repositories; involvement in project funding applications; working in arts research and coordinating non-traditional research outputs.

Much of the business of creating and disseminating images has moved away from individual academic departments and isolated image collections toward centralized cross-discipline departments. This has left many visual resource centers looking for new ways to engage users and support the educational goals of their institutions. One way centers are meeting these new challenges is by transforming from being a storage silo for physical slide collections to being a collaborative learning space where students and faculty alike can come to work on projects and refine imaging and videography skills. As many resource centers make this move toward more teaching and learning, the physical spaces and skill sets of employees have also shifted. This session will examine case studies of visual resource centers programming that is directed to teaching imaging skills and how this new role is shifting their profile within their institutions.

With a long history of archiving and providing access to educational images in a variety of media, visual resources specialists have always been attuned to the responsible and meaningful use of images. Our facilities are often key learning spaces for educators and students seeking assistance with associated technical, legal, and aesthetic matters. With twenty-first century teaching placing such importance on visual literacy, information professionals have added instructional activities on this topic to the repertoire of services being provided. To nurture this expanded range of skills and information literacies, visual resources curators partner with instructors and librarians in classroom training activities, offer workshops in how to create meaningful content with new technological tools, and take advantage of other face-time opportunities to promote visual literacy through consultations. Better understanding the expanding base of innovative research and current visual literacy competency standards assists with the identification of functional roles and enhances the effectiveness of such instruction.
What sort of content do we teach? What initial questions do we encourage students to ask? What specific research should become the primary focus? What tools might educators employ for instructing students toward adequate assessments of both preexisting and future cross-cultural visual communication? These questions will be explored starting with background information on cultural definitions, moving to pedagogical theory and the tools of evaluation, then using classroom content and projects to demonstrate how the constructs of graphic design and visual communication are shifting due to the infinite global spectrum. Various examples of how visual media are being used across the liberal arts curriculum will be explored and methods for partnering with faculty to build visual competencies discussed. Concrete ways to use image resources to deepen the integration of information literacy skills and concepts into interdisciplinary instructional situations, especially student orientations, will be demonstrated. Visual literacy standards will be examined with an emphasis on how they specifically apply to the profession and practices of visual resources. In the end, incorporating visual resources into teaching enriches learning by enlivening the classroom and deepening the understanding of core concepts through reflection.

VRA 2013 Pedagogical Studies in Visual Literacy, Smith
This document summarizes an interview study of graduate history students' use of images in their coursework, teaching, and research. The study found that students used images primarily for coursework to illustrate concepts and analyze meanings and sources, and for research to discover new information and ideas. Students also used images in their own teaching. While students found images on their own, they were open to outreach from the library on image guides and instruction to help them find and use images more effectively.

Comparative Study and Expansion of Metadata Standards for Historic Fashion Co...Visual Resources Association
VRA 2023 Collections Management in Fashion and Media session. Presenter: Wen Nie Ng
The goal of the paper is to enhance the metadata standard of fashion collections by expanding the controlled vocabulary and metadata elements for Costume Core, a metadata schema designed specifically for fashion artifacts. Various techniques are employed to achieve this goal, including identifying new descriptors using word embedding similarity measurements and adding new descriptive terms for precise artifact descriptions to use when re-cataloging a university fashion collection in Costume Core. The paper also provides a sneak peek of the Model Output Confirmative Helper Application, which simplifies the vocabulary review process. Additionally, a survey was conducted to collect insights into how other fashion professionals use metadata when describing dress artifacts. The survey results reveal 1) commonly used metadata standards in the historic fashion domain; 2) sample metadata respondents use; and 3) partial potential metadata that can be appended to Costume Core, which is relevant to Virginia Tech's Oris Glisson Historic Costume and Textile Collection. The expanded Costume Core resulting from the project offers a more comprehensive way of describing fashion collection holdings/artifacts. It has the potential to be adopted by the fashion collections to produce metadata that is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.Unsettling Collections: Bias in the Visual Canon
VRA 2023 Adventures in Critical Cataloging session. Presenters: Sara Schumacher and Millicent Fullmer
This paper will cover the results of a research study looking at visual resources professionals' perceptions of the visual canon at their institutions and their actions confronting biases in their visual collections. This research is innovative because the "visual canon" as a concept is often evoked but rarely defined, and there has not been research into perceptions and practices that span different types of cultural heritage institutions. The researchers seek to focus on the role of the visual resources professional as a potential change-maker in confronting bias and transforming the “visual canon.” In our presentation, we will discuss the analysis of our survey and interviews around three key research questions: What barriers do visual resources professionals perceive in remedying the biases in the visual canon? What authorities, past and present, do they identify in shaping the visual canon? How do they approach teaching users to identify and critically confront these issues? We will highlight trends as well as unique concerns and solutions from our research participants and engage our audience with how these issues impact their own collections, policies, and instruction.

VRA 2023 Beyond the Classroom: Developing Image Databases for Research session. Presenter: John J. Taormina
The Medieval Kingdom of Sicily Image Database project collects historic images of the medieval monuments of South Italy, from the so-called Kingdom of Sicily dating from c. 950 to c. 1430, during the Norman, Hohenstaufen, Angevin, and early Aragonese periods. The project was begun in 2011, as part of a 3-year Collaborative Research Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, under project investigators Caroline Bruzelius, Duke University, and William Tronzo, University of California, San Diego.
The site features over 8,000 historical images in a range of media, including drawings, paintings, engravings, photographs, and plans and elevations culled from museums, archives, and libraries in Europe and America, often from the Grand Tour, as well as from available publications. The value of the database lies in making accessible to scholars the visual documentation of changes to historical sites because the medieval monuments of South Italy have been damaged, changed, and restored on many occasions, with tombs and liturgical furnishings often destroyed, dismantled, or removed. In fact, many of the 600 monuments no longer exist, often bombed during World War II or destroyed in earthquakes, or obscured by modern buildings and urban sprawl.Interactive Topography with IIIF: Open Access to Photographs from the Ernest ...

VRA 2023 Archives Tools and Techniques session. Presenters: Maureen Burns and Lavinia Ciuffa
The Ernest Nash collection documents ancient Roman architecture in pre- and post-World War II Italy. What made Nash's work significant, beyond capturing the present state of the ancient Roman monuments at a volatile historical moment, was the primacy of the topographical photography and the systematic order he brought to this subject. The American Academy's Photographic Archive contributed Nash's images to an open access, interactive website called the "Urban Legacy of Ancient Rome." It reveals the city in stunning detail and uses geo-referencing to provide the viewer with a better understanding of the overall contextual and spatial logic. These Nash images and metadata are also IIIF compatible. As the Academy continues to digitize and describe the full collection of about 30,000 images, thanks to the generous support of the Kress Foundation, a new partnership has developed with Archivision and vrcHost. Current high quality digital photographs of the same ancient Roman monuments are being added to compare with the historical images documenting architectural changes--whether conserved, restored, altered, reconstructed, re-sited or destroyed. This presentation will provide a progress report about what it takes to move new digital photography into IIIF and the various tools available for close examination and presentation. Finding ways to provide ready access and juxtapose historic and contemporary photography online, builds upon the legacy of Nash's quality curation and scholarship to create 21st century, accessible, online educational resources of great interest and utility to scholars, students, and a wide audience of ancient Roman enthusiasts.Recreating a 19th-Century Spectacle: The 3D Glass Stereo Project

Material Order is an academic consortium of material sample collections (including wood, metal, glass, ceramic, polymers, plastics, textiles, bio-materials, etc.—any material that might be used in or considered for art, architecture, and design disciplines) founded by the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and Fleet Library at Rhode Island School of Design and now comprising several more institutions in the US. It provides a community-based approach to management and access to material collections utilizing and developing standards and best practices. Material Order created the Materials Profile that serves as a shared cataloging tool on the LYRASIS CollectionSpace platform and can be further developed as the different needs of consortium members are identified. Open Web searching across all collections occurs via a front-end discovery portal built with Wordpress at materialorder.org.
The Material Order project was born from the acknowledgment that resource sharing and collaborative catalogs are the most promising approach to exploration and implementation. It was always the intent, now actualized, for partner institutions with different mission and scope to compel the project to consider and accommodate criteria such as material health ecologies, fabrication possibilities, and overlap into adjacent fields such as engineering and archeology. Thus, Material Order represents not just items on a shelf but a knowledge-base of compositions, uses, forms, and properties. No longer in its infancy, Material Order provides a shared and adaptable framework for managing collections across the consortium and optimal facilitation of materials-based research and exploration for art, architecture, and design applications.Personal Archiving for Undergraduate Students

Disinformation and Deepfakes: The Urgent Need for Visual Literacy
VRA 2022 Teaching Visual Literacy session. Presenter: Molly Schoen
Our everyday lives are more saturated in images and videos than any other time in human history. This fact alone underscores the need to implement visual literacy skills in all stages of education, from pre-K to post-grad. Learning how to read images with critical, analytical eyes is crucial to understanding the world around us as we see it represented in the news, social media, advertisements, etc. New technologies have exasperated this already urgent need for visual literacy education. Synthetic media, deepfakes, APIs, bot farms, and other forms of artificial intelligence have many innovative uses, but bad actors also use them to fan the flames of disinformation. We have seen the grave consequences from this age of disinformation, from undermining elections to attempts to delegitimize science and doctors, undoubtedly raising the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic. What do we need to know about these new forms of altered images made by artificial intelligence? How do we discern between real, human-made content versus fakes made by computers, which are becoming more and more difficult to discern? This paper aims to raise awareness of how new forms of visual media can manipulate and deceive the viewer. Audience participants will learn how to empower themselves and their peers into being more savvy consumers of visual materials by understanding the basics of AI and recognizing the characteristics of faked media.
Jean Charlot: Artist as Archivist
VRA 2022 Individual Papers Session. Presenter: Malia Van Heukelem
This case study of a large artist archive at a medium sized academic research library will connect the success of the artist serving as his own archivist and the collection's broad research appeal locally, nationally and internationally. Like many artists, there is so much more than his own work represented. There is correspondence, fine art prints, ephemera of other artists and writers hidden in the collection. The foundation of organization is in place; now the focus is on creating online access points through finding aids and image collections. The presentation will explore the use of ArchivesSpace, Omeka, and other software to increase access. It will also demonstrate how a solo archivist can leverage interns, student assistants, and volunteers for collections management projects that benefit both the institutional priorities and desired learning outcomes. This talk will delve into the challenges of 20th century visual resource collections such as copyright and engagement with donors. Featuring a local artist has brought other art and architecture collections to the library, without clear boundaries which has led to questions of sustainability, who and what is collected. There is definitely a need to balance the historical record and yet, there are already more archival collections accessioned than can be responsibly managed by one person. The primary collection does include works by women and artists of color, yet much descriptive work remains to forefront the diversity contained within. As an archivist and librarian at a public university, there are many competing demands for collections management, support of researchers, and instruction plus the added interest for exhibition loans and the desire for other artists and architects to be represented. This artist archive is both interesting and complex.

During the past year, the “Great Resignation” (aka. The “Big Quit”) has roiled the world of employment nationwide in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already caused job losses among our membership. While many institutions and individuals now hope for a “return to normal,” others anticipate that the past two years mark a watershed necessitating further transformational changes in the years ahead. These larger employment trends have come on top of quantum shifts in the visual resources field itself, as traditional tasks give way to new responsibilities, and siloed image collections are replaced by interdisciplinary projects.
For several years, our annual conferences have featured the perspectives of newer professionals in “Stories from the Start.” Looking at the opposite ends of their career arcs, this session brings together the perspectives and experiences of two pre-pandemic retirees, two of our members who made their decisions to retire during the past year, and two currently active professionals whose retirements are pending in the near future. When and why did they make their decisions to retire? What was/is the actual process? Concerns?

Supporting Art History Students' Digital Projects at American UniversityVisual Resources Association
VRA 2022 Digital Art History session. Presenters: Melissa Becher and Samuel Sadow
In 2019, the art history program at American University gave its masters students a new option for the capstone project that is the culmination of the degree: create a digital project on an art historical topic using Omeka S or Wordpress. Initially, only a single student chose to complete a digital capstone over a traditional thesis, but within two years there was near parity between the two options, meaning seven digital capstones for the 2021 cohort. To support these projects, a close partnership quickly developed between the University’s library, the visual resources center, and the archives. This session covers how three campus units coordinate that support for these innovative digital humanities projects, including administration of the platforms, instruction, technical support, preservation, and access to the final projects. The session will also showcase examples of student work to demonstrate the variety and creativity of projects that can be accomplished using these platforms, as well as their contributions to the field of art history. The outcome of this initiative is clear: the best of digital humanities, weaving design and technology with rigorous art historical research, and finished projects that have already resulted in successful job applications in the field.Material Objects and Special Collections
VRA 2022 Material Objects and Special Collections session. Presenters: Allan T. Kohl and Jackie Spafford
Materials-based collections represent a challenging new mode of information management in terms of subject specialization, physical description and accommodation, and institutional mission. Building upon the successful introductory meeting of this Group in Los Angeles at the 2019 Conference, the goal of this SIG is to provide a forum for open discussion of Material and Object Collections and their relationship to various library/visual resources tasks. The Material and Object Collections SIG provides an opportunity for individuals working with a variety of materials and objects collections – including those that support art and art history courses, those that support architecture and design courses, and those in cultural heritage organizations – to share ideas, issues, and potential solutions in regard to tasks similar to common library/visual resources activities (including cataloging, documentation, staffing, outreach), as well as more specialized concerns relating to the management of physical objects (security, storage and retrieval, the design of user spaces, etc.).
By continuing to offer an opportunity for participants to share brief introductions and profiles of their collections, we hope to encourage networking and exchange information about sources for specialized items; to display sample items and share surplus samples with other collections; and to provide examples of successful solutions to typical problems. Our long-range goal is to maintain an ongoing support group that can be of particular benefit to those professionals who are in the beginning stages of building or organizing physical collections.

Assessing the use of Qualitative Data Analysis Software (QDAS) by Art Histori...Visual Resources Association
VRA 2022 Digital Art History session. Presenter: Kayla Olson
This paper discusses a study (completed in the spring of 2021) which explores how common the use of Qualitative Data Analysis software (QDAS) is among two kinds of object-based researchers: art historians and archaeologists. Surveys were disseminated in a snowball fashion and contained open and closed questions. The questions sought to give participants a platform to describe if, why, and how they use programs like Atlas.ti, NVivo, Dedoose, and MAXQDA throughout their research process. While not QDAS, the image management application Tropy was also included. The author hopes that the anonymized responses will prompt discussion among professionals in academic librarianship and visual resources management about the possible impact of these digital tools on researchers in these disciplines. The question remains on whether researchers in art and material culture disciplines would benefit more from QDAS if participants were aware of: 1) Their existence and 2) Their ability to help organize artifact data and to assist in performing image-based analysis.Describing Art on the Street: The Graffiti Art Community Voice
VRA 2022 Critical Cataloging Conversations in Teaching, Research, and Practice session. Presenter: Ann M. Graf, Assistant Professor of Library and Information Science, Simmons University
In the field of information science, we strive to provide access to information through the most efficient means possible. This is often done through the use of controlled vocabularies for description of subjects, and, in the case of art objects, for the identification of styles, processes, materials, and types. My research has examined the sufficiency of controlled vocabularies such as the Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) for description of graffiti art processes and products. This research is evolving as the AAT is responding to warrant for a broader set of terms to represent outsider art communities such as the graffiti art community. The methods used to study terminological warrant by examining the language of the graffiti art community are helpful to give voice to artists who work outside the traditional art institution, allowing the way that they talk about their work and how they describe it to become part of the common discourse. It is hoped that this research will inspire others who design and supplement controlled vocabularies for use in the arts to give priority in descriptive practice to those who have been historically underrepresented or made invisible by default use of terminology that does not speak to their experiences.

VRA 2022 Session. Presenter: Douglas Peterson
In 2021, the National Archives of Estonia engaged Digital Transitions’ Service division, Pixel Acuity, to build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to analyze part of its historic record. The objective was to use this tool to enhance their collection with descriptive metadata that identified persons of interest in a collection of over 8,000 photographic glass plate negatives, a task that would ordinarily take years of human labor. In this presentation, we discuss our approach to accurately detecting and identifying human subjects in transmissive media, our initial findings using commercially available AI models, and the subsequent refinements made to our workflow to generate the most accurate metadata. In addition to working with commercially available AI models, we developed strategies for validation of AI-generated results without additional human supervision, and explored the benefits of building bespoke, heritage-specific AI models. By combining all of these tools, we developed a highly customized solution that greatly expedited accurate metadata generation with minimal human oversight, operated efficiently on large collections, and supported discovery of novel content within the archive.Crowdsourcing Collection Development
VRA 2022 Community Building Session. Presenter: Dacia Metes
Queens Memory is an ongoing community archiving program that engages with our local communities in our two-fold mission to (1) push local history collections out to the public through programming and online resources, and (2) pull new materials into our collections from the diverse communities of Queens, NYC. The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to close our buildings, cease all in-person work and programming and shift our work to the virtual world. Our team quickly modified our processing workflow and asset tracking with the high volume of crowd-sourced donations coming through new online submission forms, set up in a rapid response to capture the stories coming from the pandemic’s first epicenter in the U.S. In my proposed conference session, I will discuss how we planned and managed the shift to fully online collection development. I will talk about our virtual outreach efforts to engage with the community and get them to contribute their materials, and how we developed the online tools and processes that allowed us to collect photographs, oral history interviews and other audio/visual materials, while also capturing the necessary metadata and consent forms. New internal communications channels, roles for volunteers, and triage processing for publication resulted from these efforts and are now essential parts of the team’s practices.
Accessibility Guidance for Digital Cultural Heritage
The document summarizes a workshop on accessibility guidance for digital cultural heritage collections. The workshop consists of two hours which include presentations on accessibility requirements and workflow strategies, a breakout activity where participants practice creating accessible descriptions for images, and a wrap-up discussion. The presentations cover topics such as common barriers to accessibility, guidelines for making images, video, audio and documents accessible, and best practices for incorporating accessibility into workflows. The breakout activity has participants work in groups to write alt-text and accessibility descriptions for sample images from online collections.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:

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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
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).

Editor's Notes
- This presentation was given to a live audience at the 2nd joint conference of the Visual Resources Association and the Art Libraries Society of North America, March 24th to March 28th, 2011,and was the first half of a talk given with Suzanne Walsh during a session titled “Engaging New Technologies” Organized by Meghan Musolff, University of Michiganand moderated by Betha Whitlow, Washington University in St. Louis.Hopefully this presentation will inspire viewers to experiment with and utilize some technologies for presentations that they haven’t tried before.
- It’s important to recognize why we’re presenting in the first place, and how we might better engage our viewers by using other techniques and technologies.
- It wasn’t long ago that a presentation would be given by a person standing in front of an audience, with luck they’d have some sort of visual aid, like a flip chart, overhead transparencies or 35mm slides.
- Currently digital technology allows a single presentation to be seen by anyone, anywhere in the world and saved for future posterity: to be viewed (ideally) anytime in the future.
- Presentations online have the ability to reach a much larger and more diverse audience than one given to a live audience.
- Here’s an example of online audience reach (over a million views)
- There are plenty of options for creating or distributing presentations online:Google Presentations (part of Google Docs)280 SlidesHosted PowerPointsPrezi
- Screen capture technology allows you to take a picture of what’s on your screen.http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_Xhttp://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/general/ht/winscreenshot.htm
- An example of a screenshot explaining the font formatting on PowerPoint versus a text description.
- Presentation technology allows us to easily share our knowledge, help others through tech problems and explain technical issues, bugs, etc. to someone who might be able to help.
- Screen captures can be extremely useful and time-saving in technical documents.A screen capture is easily inserted into a text document.
- A screen cast allows you to show someone several steps of a complex process or workflow quickly and easily, often with audio narration
- Jing is one free screen casting & capture utility which has many sharing options – I’ve used it for years and vouch for it.
- Web-based screen casting is easiest, cross platform & instantaneous.A few screencasting sites:http://www.techsmith.com/jing/http://www.screenr.com/http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/
- Live broadcasting is becoming more accessible, everyone can now become a broadcaster: ”Broadcasting live from…”
- Justin.tv is one example of a simple & easy to use web & mobile free broadcasting service.A few others:http://www.stickam.com/http://www.livestream.com/http://www.freedocast.com/
- Often live video streams also allow or incorporate text chats, where the broadcaster can respond and interact with viewers.
- Currently technology allows us instantaneously share text, audio and video. Imagine what the future holds.
- During this slide I’ll be giving secrets to the live audience I present in front of,If you were there for the presentation and know what I said during this slidePlease follow up.Thanks, John
