The Web-COSI project aims to foster citizen engagement in new measures of societal progress beyond GDP. Over 24 months, it will:
1) Map existing initiatives and best practices in community involvement in progress statistics.
2) Conduct online campaigns and develop a Wiki of progress statistics to integrate official and non-official citizen-generated data.
3) Organize workshops, focus groups, and a final conference to promote discussion and disseminate methods for measuring well-being.
The project aims to better integrate top-down and bottom-up approaches to statistics through open data tools and an extensive outreach strategy across stakeholders from academia to citizens. It seeks synergies with other EU projects measuring well-being indicators

This presentation was used during the European Conference on Quality in Official Statistics (Q2022) in order to illustrate the Italian Open government Strategy on cohesion policy that is relying on the OpenCoesione initiative coordinated by the Evaluation unit of the Department for Cohesion Policies of the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers since 2011. Starting from the 2013 the OpenCoesione initiative is supported by "At the School of OpenCohesion (ASOC)" - an educational programme aimed at promoting and developing the innovative principles of active citizenship in secondary schools through the civic monitoring of projects financed by cohesion funds. Within the scope of the activities devoted to the development of statistical literacy the Italian national statistical Institute - ISTAT signed in 2018 (and renewed in 2020 ) an agreement for collaborating in the ASOC project and promoting the statistical culture also amon the teachers involved in ASOC by the means of specific and dedicated course named Statistical Culture+.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
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.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd

statistics based on the idea that collaborate through crowd sourced platforms
can contribute to produce better statistics beyond GDP empowering the use of
non official data.
fostering the engagement of citizens and society at large in the area of
new measures of societal progress and well-being
using the opportunities given by Web2.0
carrying out specific initiatives and target on-line campaigns
implementing tools for collecting/producing/visualizing information and
data for a better integration of official and non-official statistics
enforcing the use of locally generated grassroots data
developing of a Wiki of progress statistics
3. Web-COSI consortium

different perspectives and participating to important national and international
initiatives related to progress statistics.
4. Web-COSI project
KOM Rome, 9 January 2014
The project will carry out its 24 months activities
Ø starting from the mapping of beyond GDP existing initiatives and distilling the best
practices of the involvement of the communities for the progress statistics (experiences
carried on by the NSIs, by civil society organisations and by social entrepreneurs to steer
venture capital)
Ø in the next months the work plan will carry on specific initiatives and target on- line
campaigns with the aim to empower the engagement of communities in the debate on
progress statistics, reaching a high level of citizens’ involvement at the end of the project
Ø the development of a Wiki of progress statistics, at mid term of the project, will constitute
a tool to manage for the collection of civil society grass root locally generated non-official
data to integrate with official data
Ø 5 stocktaking and reporting documents on the involvements of communities on statistics
beyond GDP in Europe and abroad will be delivered
Ø communication and dissemination open events will be organised: 5 workshops, 4 focus
groups and a final conference

6. Web-COSI activities impact
Ø The digital activities of the project will be carried on Wikiprogress.org and on www.webcosi.eu and on
the other Internet platforms managed by the partners, using social networks, online discussions, blogs,
eBrief and an extensive network and local grassroots partnerships creating synergies in order to
impact towards a growing integration of top-down and bottom-up approaches for better statistics
beyond GDP
Ø A strong communication strategy on the work on going will be carried out through videos and short
films for social media distribution connecting with the diverse categories of the stakeholders (from the
academia, the business world, the civil society organisations and the producers of data to the citizens
and society at large)
Ø The project will take advantage from the results of on-going or just completed related EU FP7
initiatives and Eurostat initiatives. Connections and interactions with other projects will be fostered.
SYNERGIES WITH CAPS PROJECTS
The usage and comprehension of statistics measuring well being and societal progress
is at the basis for the description of the context in which actions to create solutions for
the social needs are requested.
Ø The Wiki of progress statistics released by the project as open source can be
considered by CAPS projects as an opportunity for setting the framework on which they
want to operate for social innovation.
Ø Moreover the Wiki stat can be used by the other CAPS projects representing a
selected COMMUNITY OF USERS.
Ø In this perspective the participation to Web-COSI events and on-line discussions is
strongly welcomed.
