The public library and wikipedia
This document discusses the relationship between public libraries and Wikipedia. It outlines Wikipedia's main functions, including being the 5th most visited website worldwide and having a sophisticated decision-making model. It encourages institutions to partner with Wikipedia to meet information demands and attract new audiences. Some challenges for libraries include incorporating Wikipedia into education programming and communicating editing practices. The document provides examples of New York City libraries that work on Wikipedia, including organizing edit-a-thon events. It concludes by describing various tools that Wikipedians and librarians can use to contribute, such as templates, infoboxes, and specific WikiProjects.
Community Support and Outreach
The document discusses the RIPE NCC and its various community support activities, including RIPE Atlas for measurements, RIPEstat for data and tools, and support for Network Operators Groups. It describes funding opportunities like the Community Project Fund and hackathons. The RIPE Next Generation program supports students and researchers through fellowships. Outreach also involves RIPE Atlas Ambassadors and collaboration with other Regional Internet Registry communities.

The document discusses the relationship between Wikipedia and the city of Bristol. It notes that Wikimedia UK is the national chapter of Wikimedia volunteers in the UK. It then provides statistics on page view counts for various UK city Wikipedia pages, suggesting Bristol could aim to increase engagement. The document proposes several ideas for how Bristol could partner with Wikipedia, such as hosting edit-a-thons, adding content from local archives and museums, encouraging contributions from underrepresented ethnic groups and languages, and involving schools and students in projects.
Wikipedia & Cultural Heritage Institutions: Opportunities for Partnership
This document discusses opportunities for cultural heritage institutions like museums, libraries, and archives to partner with Wikipedia. It outlines Wikipedia's uniqueness as the 5th most visited site worldwide that is volunteer-driven and non-profit. Reasons for institutions to partner include meeting information demands, attracting new audiences, and reviewing publicly available information. Challenges include losing control and prestige as well as rights management issues.

World Affairs Council, Wikipedia as global collaboration Feb 2010
The document discusses Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation. It notes that Wikipedia is the largest encyclopedia in history with over 2 billion words and 14 million articles contributed by volunteers. The Wikimedia Foundation is a non-profit organization that facilitates and supports Wikipedia and other wiki-based projects through fundraising, programs, administration, technology and usability efforts with a staff of 34 and over 100,000 volunteers. The foundation aims to spread free knowledge throughout the world.
Contributing to the global commons: Repositories and Wikimedia
There is huge potential for universities and their libraries to leverage Wikimedia in order to expose research outputs and collections. Wikimedia comprises sixteen projects in total, including Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. At the University of Leeds, the Research Data Management Service have successfully run a project that focuses on linking research data with the Wikimedia suite of tools via a series of ‘editathons’, in order to increase the visibility of research data and enable reuse on Wikipedia and elsewhere. The project - "Manage it locally to share it globally: RDM and Wikimedia Commons" - was the winning submission to a competition launched in May 2018 and sponsored by SPARC Europe, Jisc and the University of Cambridge, called the "Data Management Engagement Award", which aimed to address cultural challenges involved in promoting effective research data practices.
The project has served as a springboard to further explore Wikimedia strategically, both at the University of Leeds and across the White Rose Consortium. For example we are collaborating on a new project looking at Wikipedia citations of research from York, Sheffield and Leeds, and the proportion of these that are open access. The long term goal might be to establish a "Wikimedian in Residence" across the consortium. In this talk, we will present the project's outputs - including a toolkit that will enable other institutions to apply the same methodology. In addition we will explore the potential of Wikidata to link up repositories and other data silos in a manner that enables reuse and increases impact.
Wikipedia as a Platform for Change
This document discusses making Wikipedia more diverse by addressing biases. It provides an overview of Wikipedia, noting its size but also biases like gender, racial, and cultural representation gaps in coverage and the editor base. It discusses initiatives like WikiProjects, AfroCROWD and Whose Knowledge that aim to broaden representation. The document encourages non-profits to use and contribute to Wikipedia to share knowledge, but notes challenges like biases that organizations could help address by editing, contributing content about underrepresented groups, and collaborating with Wikimedia through outreach.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
