For years, digital archiving has been essential for preserving historical documents and community memories. However, traditional storage methods increasingly face issues around costs, data ownership, privacy concerns, and accessibility limitations. This is where decentralized storage offers a fresh approach to safeguarding vast public datasets.
Designed for enthusiasts and professionals in community archiving, research, and library sciences, this event will be a mix of talks and demos by leading Makers of public good technologies.
Hosted by TechSoup on April 25, 2024.

TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...TrustArc
Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer!
The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide.
To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally
- Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines

QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation F...AlexanderRichford
QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation Functions to Prevent Interaction with Malicious QR Codes.
Aim of the Study: The goal of this research was to develop a robust hybrid approach for identifying malicious and insecure URLs derived from QR codes, ensuring safe interactions.
This is achieved through:
Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
Security Validation Functions: Ensures the derived URL has a valid certificate and proper URL format.
This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!

So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental DowntimeScyllaDB
The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage. In this talk, Bo Ingram -- staff engineer at Discord and author of ScyllaDB in Action --- dives into an outage with one of their ScyllaDB clusters, showing how a stressed ScyllaDB cluster looks and behaves during an incident. You'll learn about how to diagnose issues in your clusters, see how external failure modes manifest in ScyllaDB, and how you can avoid making a fault too big to tolerate.
Supercell is the game developer behind Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale and Brawl Stars. Learn how they unified real-time event streaming for a social platform with hundreds of millions of users.
Discover the Unseen: Tailored Recommendation of Unwatched ContentScyllaDB
The session shares how JioCinema approaches ""watch discounting."" This capability ensures that if a user watched a certain amount of a show/movie, the platform no longer recommends that particular content to the user. Flawless operation of this feature promotes the discover of new content, improving the overall user experience.
JioCinema is an Indian over-the-top media streaming service owned by Viacom18.
ScyllaDB Real-Time Event Processing with CDCScyllaDB
ScyllaDB’s Change Data Capture (CDC) allows you to stream both the current state as well as a history of all changes made to your ScyllaDB tables. In this talk, Senior Solution Architect Guilherme Nogueira will discuss how CDC can be used to enable Real-time Event Processing Systems, and explore a wide-range of integrations and distinct operations (such as Deltas, Pre-Images and Post-Images) for you to get started with it.
An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.
In our second session, we shall learn all about the main features and fundamentals of UiPath Studio that enable us to use the building blocks for any automation project.
📕 Detailed agenda:
Variables and Datatypes
Workflow Layouts
Arguments
Control Flows and Loops
Conditional Statements
💻 Extra training through UiPath Academy:
Variables, Constants, and Arguments in Studio
