ION Trinidad and Tobago, 5 February 2015 - Chris Grundemann from the Internet Society Deploy360 Programme explains the programme, its goals, other projects of the team, and the ION Conferences, while welcoming participants to Port of Spain.
The document provides an agenda and updates from the 2010-2011 annual general meeting of Be.IABC. It summarizes activities over the past year including an increase in members on the social network from 263 to 424. It outlines past and upcoming events on topics like crisis communication, sustainability, and social media. Other news includes having 80 members and Belgian representatives on the European board.

ION Cape Town, 8 September 2015: The Internet Society is working toward fostering a larger and more engaged network operator community around the IETF and protocol development work. Part of that work was a survey of network operators in 2014 and an Internet-Draft about its results. We’re also interested specifically in bringing more African engineers with operational experience into the IETF, and perhaps even bringing a physical IETF meeting to the continent of Africa within the next few years. We’ll outline some of our recent work and hope to make this an interactive session to learn from the local community how to encourage more IETF participation.

The program maintains an online knowledge repository and engages with audiences on social media and through conferences around the world. It seeks input from participants on additional content and features that could help further the adoption of open Internet standards.

Webinar: Introduction to Technology Planning for Nonprofits-2016-10-26TechSoup

IPv4 addresses have run out globally and regionally in Latin America and the Caribbean. There were only 4.3 billion IPv4 addresses allocated in the early 1980s but the exponential growth of the internet caused exhaustion of free addresses. While IPv4 exhaustion policies have provided a soft landing period for additional allocations, IPv6 adoption is necessary going forward as it provides over 340 trillion trillion trillion unique addresses. Major networks like Google and Facebook already use IPv6 to deliver a portion of their traffic without NAT, and global IPv6 traffic is growing as more networks deploy the new protocol. The transition to IPv6 is inevitable for networks to continue expanding in the future.

Expanding Internationally Through Partnerships: Practical Lessons For 21st Ce...TechSoup
Rebecca Masisak and Marnie Webb, Co-CEOs, TechSoup Global
Your organization is currently doing critical work in the United States, but you recognize the need to grow its reach and impact internationally. What models should be considered? How do key staff and boards step up to support experimentation and adroitly shape and govern the emerging structures and brand?
Important lessons can be learned from pioneering TechSoup Global. As worldwide demand for its programs grew, TechSoup Global's leadership team and board struggled with developing an organizational model that would mobilize partners around a common mission and include contributions from multiple players. Like most organizations, key considerations included expansion without significant additions in headcount and overhead. Now operating in 33 countries with three distinct boards of directors, TechSoup Global has successfully built a growing global network of locally driven programs.
A showcase of applicable insights, this session explores lessons learned, innovative technologies deployed, organizational models piloted and refined, and how boards influence and model the kind of leadership needed as organizations expand internationally.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
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.
Test Management as Chapter 5 of ISTQB Foundation. Topics covered are Test Organization, Test Planning and Estimation, Test Monitoring and Control, Test Execution Schedule, Test Strategy, Risk Management, Defect Management
ScyllaDB is making a major architecture shift. We’re moving from vNode replication to tablets – fragments of tables that are distributed independently, enabling dynamic data distribution and extreme elasticity. In this keynote, ScyllaDB co-founder and CTO Avi Kivity explains the reason for this shift, provides a look at the implementation and roadmap, and shares how this shift benefits ScyllaDB users.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
