Hackbox Admin Portal HackBox Admin Portal Ruofan Ding, Thomas Grimshaw, Penelope Over December 18, 2015 A Major Qualifying Project Report: Submitted to the faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science Sponsor: Microsoft Corporation Liaison: Ben Fersenheim Advisor: David Finkel This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students. Submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review i ABSTRACT This project was created to design and implement an Administrator Portal for Microsoft’s new hackathon management tool. The Admin Portal provides administrators the ability to view, create, modify and delete hackathon related data. This data includes the basic information about a hackathon, the hackathon’s participants, and the hackathon’s projects. The Admin Portal allows administrators to easily perform these functions through a data centric user interface. We created the Admin Portal using the latest web development technology and with design inspiration from other major Microsoft products. We developed this tool in Microsoft’s Cambridge office in collaboration with the Microsoft Garage team in Redmond. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank Microsoft for sponsoring this project and providing us with the resources to complete it. We appreciate the challenging but meaningful project they proposed, and that it gave us an opportunity to both apply what we have learned at school in a software industry setting, and to expand our knowledge beyond our classroom learning. We would like to thank the Microsoft Garage team, especially Steve Scallen, Mahendra Reddy, Andrew Komar and Mike Pell, with whom we worked closely. We would also like to thank Ben Fersenheim and George Matthews, who helped and supported us over the course of the project. In addition, we would like to thank Henrik Joreteg and Jason Wilson from Formidable Labs for building the backend server our product connects to. Last but not least, we would like to thank Professor Finkel for his guidance throughout the whole project. iii Contents ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................................................... iii Chapter 1.

  • Student Scientific-Practical Work «Corporate Social Responsibility Politics of Microsoft Company»
    Student Scientific-Practical Work «Corporate social responsibility politics of Microsoft Company» Irina Sharipova Belarusian State University Group №213 Business-Administration [email protected] Leading companies are definitely know where the source of increased productivity. These are the people involved in the work, motivated, have the resources to accomplish it and remunerative. The involvement of each employee in the work, the recognition of the contribution of each employee, recognition for each employee the right to have a voice and a role in the success of the company - is the source of true performance. The source from which it can improves not gradually but significantly. Jack Welch Learning about American companies and their social responsibilities, I found a lot of interesting things in how they care about their employees. As all we know, American business is the best example of successful business. And the reason of it, in my opinion, is that Americans think through all the details and, what is one of the most important, pay attention on how their employees do their job. Because a good head understand, that each member of their company is an important part of the team and only when each of them will be work the best he or she can and in team, only then the company will reach prosperity and great success. Happy employee is a good employee. And the efficiency of labor depends on it. During the years employers have been working on how to increase the motivation, involvement and enthusiasm of employees to the work. Many researches were made to find the decision.

  • Revisiting XSS Sanitization
    Revisiting XSS Sanitization Ashar Javed Chair for Network and Data Security Horst G¨ortzInstitute for IT-Security, Ruhr-University Bochum [email protected] Abstract. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) | around fourteen years old vul- nerability is still on the rise and a continuous threat to the web applica- tions. Only last year, 150505 defacements (this is a least, an XSS can do) have been reported and archived in Zone-H (a cybercrime archive)1. The online WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) or rich-text editors are now a days an essential component of the web applications. They allow users of web applications to edit and enter HTML rich text (i.e., formatted text, images, links and videos etc) inside the web browser window. The web applications use WYSIWYG editors as a part of comment functionality, private messaging among users of applications, blogs, notes, forums post, spellcheck as-you-type, ticketing feature, and other online services. The XSS in WYSIWYG editors is considered more dangerous and exploitable because the user-supplied rich-text con- tents (may be dangerous) are viewable by other users of web applications. In this paper, we present a security analysis of twenty five (25) pop- ular WYSIWYG editors powering thousands of web sites. The anal- ysis includes WYSIWYG editors like Enterprise TinyMCE, EditLive, Lithium, Jive, TinyMCE, PHP HTML Editor, markItUp! universal markup jQuery editor, FreeTextBox (popular ASP.NET editor), Froala Editor, elRTE, and CKEditor. At the same time, we also analyze rich-text ed- itors available on very popular sites like Twitter, Yahoo Mail, Amazon, GitHub and Magento and many more.

It’s difficult to coordinate multiple people’s schedules on a small screen. As a result, many of us delay scheduling meetings until we’re back at our desks. Today we’re launching a new app through the Microsoft Garage that greatly simplifies this process. Say hello to Invite—the easiest way to organize meetings on the go. The way Invite works is simple: • You suggest times that work for you, and then invite attendees. You can use the app to invite anyone with an email address—even if they are outside your organization. • They select all the times they can attend. Once you’ve invited your attendees, they receive an email or an app notification if they have Invite installed. Attendees can then choose on the times that work for them, from the app itself or from a browser. They can also see what options work best for other attendees. • Once everyone has responded, you pick the time that works best. You choose a final date and time whenever you’re ready. Just pick the time that most people can make the meeting and tap Send Calendar Invites to get it on their calendars.

  • Prioritizing Pull Requests

Cover picture: Finding the pull request that needs the most attention. Prioritizing pull requests Author: Erik van der Veen Student id: 1509381 Email: [email protected] Abstract Previous work showed that in the pull-based development model integrators face challenges with regard to prioritizing work in the face of multiple concurrent pull requests. We identified the manual prioritization heuristics applied by integrators and ex- tracted features from these heuristics. The features are used to train a machine learning model, which is capable of predicting a pull request’s importance. The importance is then used to create a prioritized order of the pull requests. Our main contribution is the design and initial implementation of a prototype service, called PRioritizer, which automatically prioritizes pull requests. The service works like a priority inbox for pull requests, recommending the top pull requests the project owner should focus on. It keeps the pull request list up-to-date when pull requests are merged or closed. In addition, the service provides functionality that GitHub is currently lacking. We implemented pairwise pull request conflict detection and several new filter and sorting options e.g.
