The document discusses how collaboration is currently broken and proposes a new solution. It argues that while email is popular for collaboration due to its convenience, it is actually a poor way to manage conversations and documents. A new solution is needed that fits the tasks and users, is seamless and transparent, and puts users in control to make collaboration more effective.

Think Outside the Project Management Triangle
Digital project managers need both hard skills and soft skills. For some, the soft skills are a challenge or an afterthought. Think about it – Do you have the mechanics down pat? Do you focus on the project logistics first? So, at what point do you consider the people involved, and your relationship with each of them?
If you follow the Project Management Triangle, which focuses on constraints such as scope, schedule, and resources, then you may be forgetting an opportunity. The Triangle doesn't tell the whole story and is missing a key component; it's missing the opportunity to build and leverage relationships. Relationships are what make the DPM world go-round, whether you work in-house or at an agency.
IN THIS PRESENTATION, YOU’LL LEARN:
- Some differences between working at an agency and in-house
- Why to add relationships to your PM Triangle to achieve greater success, regardless of where you work
- What it takes to leverage relationships to allow the points of the Triangle to flex and adjust, depending on the situation

Teams – What Are They?
A team represents a group of people with different abilities and responsibilities, brought together to accomplish a task or variety of needs
Teams require players to work together
Functional perspective of teams includes assumptions:
Members are motivated to make the best choices
Choice to be made is nonobvious
Members have access to information/resources necessary to complete the task
Members collectively possess cognitive and communication skills to deal with decision-making/problem-solving
4
Types of Teams
Primary Work Groups
Employees formally assigned within an organization
Committees
Team of people charged with implementing an organizational plan
Task Forces
Teams put together for a short time, usually to accomplish a specific task
Focus Groups
Groups or teams put together in order to discuss specific issues within the organization
Technology, Social Skills, and Face-to-Face Teams
Digital Natives
Those born since the 1980s, have never known a world without computers, cell phones, 24-hour-a-day television or the Internet
Digital Immigrants
People who were born before the advent of digital technology who are entering the digital communication arena
People are more connected now than ever before but on a more superficial level
Both Natives and Immigrants often need to fine-tune their interpersonal social skills
The Virtual Team
Members engage each other locally, regionally, and globally without being face to face
Members primarily function in cyberspace, creating both advantages and disadvantages
Technologies such as Skype have created low-cost ways of connecting
Allows for both verbal and nonverbal interaction

Staff won't read my emails!
Four tips for effective emailing are: 1) Understand your readers' communication styles using DiSC profiles to tailor emails appropriately; 2) Avoid overusing email as a conversational tool, for constant checking, or unnecessary reply-alls; 3) Use in-person or phone communication for feedback, deliverables, announcements, and policy updates instead of relying primarily on email; 4) When emailing large groups, include a brief overview upfront (BLUF), attach supporting documents, and use a friendly tone at the beginning and end.

How important is oral / written communication in your relations
Oral and written communication are both important forms of communication that influence how we think about ourselves and others. Oral communication is more personal and flexible, allowing for quick decision making, but it risks misunderstandings and lacks documentation. Written communication provides a documented record but takes more time and lacks personal contact. Both forms of communication are necessary for professional and personal relationships.

Improve your consulting team’s internal communication
How a message is communicated is every bit as important as the message itself. When you are leading a team, fostering an environment of open communication and collaboration can make all the difference in team cohesiveness and productivity. The most effective teams are the ones who are able to work together toward common goals and encourage individual goals – and that takes good communication. Therefore, as a leader, you have to focus not only on what you are communicating but how you are communicating it.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
