Good morning, everyone. Very, very excited to be here. I want to thank Mr. Daniel Lai for that welcome, and I want to add my welcome to all of you who have come to join us for the OpenStack Summit here in Hong Kong. We are thrilled to be here. This is our first OpenStack Summit that we've held outside of the United States, and it's looking to be an excellent one. We are going to have over 3,000 people here this week from 50 countries and 480 cities. So every summit that we've had has been an international summit and has had participants from dozens of countries, but this one by far tops them all in terms of the representation that we have from communities all across the world. And that's really, I think, such a great thing for OpenStack and really for the industry overall. One of the questions that I love to ask is, how many of you are here for the first time? Put your hand up if this is your first OpenStack Summit. Wow. I mean, that is a very large percentage of you. I think based off of the registration information, somewhere around two-thirds of you are here at your first OpenStack Summit, and that is a great thing for our community to be able to have new participants, new developers, new users come in and participate in this. A couple of housekeeping items. Your badge that you got at registration has a lot of useful information. Things like the Wi-Fi access information, OpenStack.org-slash-summit has information concerning where the different session locations are. There will be content in this room all day today and tomorrow. And then as you head back towards the entrance of the Asia World Expo, there are breakout rooms that have sessions in them, and upstairs is where the technical sessions for the active technical contributors will be taking place. The badge also contains information about the evening events, and there are always a lot of evening events in addition to these that take place at the OpenStack Summit. It's a great time to mix and mingle and meet up with other members of the community. In addition to the content that we're going to have in this room and in the breakout sessions, we are going to be having design summit sessions here to plan out the next release of OpenStack. And if this is your first design summit, please try to attend the design summit 101 session that takes place at 11.15. It's immediately after we finish the keynotes this morning. It's very important to attend that and understand how the design summit process works, so those sessions can be very productive and efficient through the remainder of the week. And there are also some OpenStack 101 sessions happening at that same time if you're trying to sort of get your teeth cut on OpenStack and understand exactly what this is all about. These events take a lot of effort from a lot of people and a lot of resources as well, and I want to thank our headline sponsors who provide a large portion of the funding that allows us to be able to put these events on.  And you'll get an opportunity to hear from each of these companies over the next two mornings of keynotes.  We implemented a travel scholarship program to help attendees who might not otherwise be able to come to the summit because of the cost of traveling be able to make it here. And Intel graciously sponsored this and supported our efforts and allowed us to be able to bring a number of developers and community contributors from all over the world here to Hong Kong so they can participate in these important sessions. So we're thrilled to be here in Hong Kong, but in OpenStack we're always looking forward and I'm not going to hold you guys in suspense about where we're going to be for our next summit. I'm going to go ahead and get that out of the way. I kept it to the end last time, but we're just going to go ahead and put this up here. So May of 2014, we'll be back in the US in Atlanta. So I'm glad I heard some applause for that. I know Atlanta, you know, it's maybe not as exciting as Hong Kong, but it's a great city and we're going to make it even greater while we're there in May of 2014. But that's not all. I'm also going to tell you where we're going to be a year from now, which may be more exciting. So one year from now, in November of 2014, we will once again be taking the OpenStack summit on the road and we will be in the beautiful city of Paris, France. And hopefully we will be able to see many of you there and also a lot of new faces. So as we saw, many of you are new and that's really fantastic. This is the best place in the world to be if you want to get immersed in OpenStack and you want to learn about the software in the community. But just to sort of at a very high level, just kind of level set a little bit, OpenStack is software that's developed by an open source community and used to build clouds for service providers and enterprises all around the world. And it's very powerful software that's been developed by over 1,600 individual contributors and over the past three years. And we're going to hear from dozens of users this week who are using this software for a variety of workloads. At a very high level, it's made of different components to manage pools of resources, whether that's compute, storage, networking, and it ties them all together and provides a set of APIs and management tools so that you can manage those resources in an automated way as efficiently as possible, tie them into other systems, build new tools on top of them, make it all more valuable. And that in a nutshell is what OpenStack is. As I mentioned, there's OpenStack 101 sessions that are happening at 11.15. And there are sessions throughout the week that will dive into all of the details of the different components of OpenStack. So look at your badge, go to the schedule, and find the content that's going to be most useful for you. So you can really dig into this. As I mentioned, OpenStack is built by a global community. And in that community, we've seen phenomenal growth. We have an extremely large and diverse set of contributors who help build the software. But really, this mission that we're on, it's not just about building technology for technology's sake. This isn't a science project. It's about making a difference in businesses and organizations all over the world by providing them with software that can really have an impact for what they're trying to do. And in the technology industry, we've seen a few major shifts that have had incredible impact on our businesses and on our lives. And OpenStack, we're starting to see it have an impact at many levels in business, in the IT industry at large, in the way that software is developed. One of the things that I hope you can learn about is the process for how OpenStack software gets developed. This community has developed tools and a process that has scaled very rapidly and has provided an amazing capacity to add new contributors, new members, new features, and maintain a high level of testing and stability. And to me, it's one of the most exciting outputs of OpenStack. And so OpenStack is having an impact in a lot of different ways. In Portland, six months ago at our last OpenStack summit, we had some really great users who came and talked about what they were doing with OpenStack. And we had some very large brands in the US like Best Buy and Comcast and Bloomberg that came and talked about their usage of OpenStack. And we're very fortunate to have some more individuals who've come here today. And they're going to share their stories about what they're doing with OpenStack. And the thing that I love is in every case for all three of these users that we're gonna talk to, we have an individual here who's a leader in their organization. And they are taking OpenStack, and they're implementing it in the organization to have a positive impact on their business. So let's go ahead and get started with our spotlights this morning. Shutterstock is a company that if you work in the creative industry, you're probably familiar with it. And I'm very excited to have the VP of Technology Operations at Shutterstock here to talk with us today. So please help me welcome Chris Fisher. Morning, everybody. So a quick show of hands. How many folks in the audience are familiar with what Shutterstock does and what the business is? Great, so a fair amount of you. For those of you who aren't familiar, Shutterstock is a marketplace where photographers, videographers can upload their content. And we provide an opportunity for them to be able to sell that content to a broader market segment. People who need stock artwork for creating Christmas cards or a PowerPoint presentation, or doing something like creating a catalog. Before we kind of get into that a lot, I want to talk a bit about what OpenStack is doing for our business. And I'll give you a little bit of a brief background in myself, as well as Shutterstock's founding beginnings. So first a little bit about me, I've been building scalable systems for about 10 years, as well as the teams that are responsible with managing those systems. From the get go, I've always been someone that's been really interested in high levels of automation and being able to build a very strong operational organization that can add business impact, not just, you know, manage your environment. I'm a huge, huge open source enthusiast. I mean, there are very few times that you can get me to buy a black box solution unless it's really, really exceptional. And that comes from a real belief that, you know, if things really get tough, you can control your own fate, get into the source code, figure out what's going wrong, and really solve your own problems. One other key point is that I have a pretty deep systems and network engineering background. I'm an ops guy by trade. The only language that I've coded effectively in is C, which is pretty much irrelevant, you know, in a modern web company. But I'm going to talk a lot about building the type of stack that your developers want to interact with. I really believe in it. It's done great things at other companies I've been at and at Shutterstock. And effectively, I think that's one of the key cornerstones of why OpenStack is something that's super effective for us. As a quick aside, I now spend most of my time, it seems like, learning how to use Excel and PowerPoint and try and explain to the rest of the executives and, you know, people out in the industry, you know, why these cloud systems are so important and so efficient. So, a little bit on Shutterstock's founding beginnings. We were founded in 2003 by our CEO, John Oringer. He was our first developer, which from the beginning really created a dev-centric organization. It's pretty cool. From inception to our IPO last October and beyond, we've remained very focused on creating a great, great technology platform that developers really like interacting with. Our tech stack is another kind of note, predates the modern cloud. AWS was launched in 2006, maybe, I believe. And effectively, a lot of the modern technologies for building a cloud or interacting with the cloud just weren't there when we were already handling pretty large volumes of traffic. So, a lot of the needs that we have are solved by OpenStack that provide us an environment that we can create a super usable cloud for developers, but at the same point help us alleviate certain constraints that come from having an application that's been around since pre-cloud days. So, inside our organization, we have kind of this developer ethos. And this isn't it. I wish it was this simple. But if you read through that document, you'll find that there are a couple of key themes that just happen over and over again. One, we build things that are core to our business. A lot of organizations really focus on the product, and I think that's fantastic, but we really ask ourselves if this functionality is core to our business, orchestration, or deployment, or the ability to speed development, we want to be building that. We don't wanna buy an off-the-shelf solution. Secondly, we wanna stay open source. Again, I kind of talked a little bit about, when things get rough, it's nice to be able to read the source code. But beyond that, there are great recruiting efforts and great capabilities that come out of using community-supported software. It's just something I believe so much in, and it's treated us really, really well at Shutterstock so far. Three, we want to invest in things that create collaboration and innovation among all the individuals at our organization. People don't talk a lot about how much tooling or your platform is important in that. It's really easy to think about process, or being agile, or having can-band-style-type groups to really help foster collaboration and innovation. But if you get inside a lot of developers' heads, they think about collaboration and innovation via pull requests or working within a technology framework, everyone being able to write and read code. And this is another one of the key points why OpenStack is pretty great for our environment. And fourth, I think there's a lot of people out here who probably agree with this, just automate everything. If it's something you don't need a human to do it, don't. You'll find something better for that human to be doing other than sitting there and running scripts recurrently at midnight every night. So a little bit about the platform. It seems pretty easy to upload and download photos and videos, but it is a pretty large system that we've created at Shutterstock. It's got thousands of nodes across multiple data centers. We're managing several petabytes worth of storage in an open-source technology called MogulFS, which is backed by all kinds of heterogeneous disk from white-box servers to appliances that we buy from a company called Co-RAID using ATA over Ethernet. We also collect over a terabyte of logs every single day. That's about 70 times the volume that the Hubble telescope downloads to Earth. I realize it was put in space 15 years ago and it's in geosynchronous orbit, but still I like that stat a lot. And on the outside, as well as the dev side, we remain being pretty language agnostic. We code in multiple different languages. The key takeaway from our application stack is we really try to go fast. We're pushing code hundreds of times a week and we needed the type of platform that was gonna allow us to do this and get lots of dev interaction. So a couple of challenges, we were trying to work with creating an environment that worked in low-latencies, AWS. You can have pretty high latency between nodes. Open stack, being able to create a cloud environment where things are sitting right next to each other, we could kinda conquer a lot of network latency problems. We also wanted to create an environment where the culture and the workflow of both operations teams and dev teams really was identical. Read the code, the documentation is the code, and interact with each other in a way that developers really understand. The goals, of course, are the same as many of you guys have. Have it be resilient. And the other ones that we care about is keep it dev-centric, create an API-driven platform, and work as much as you can with being open source. So this is where everyone's kinda screams, like dev ops, oh, dev ops is the way to do this, and I disagree. I think dev ops is a great idea, but when you have a singular dev ops team, you've just moved responsibility to another group of people that can also write some code. What we really want is a platform that creates a culture and a workflow where everybody effectively plays that role of dev ops. We want our developers, as well as our operations folks, writing code, sharing code, sharing knowledge, whether it's application or the actual infrastructure platform. So, you know, ultimately, what these things kinda create for your business is an environment where you have a super, super strong staff. Everyone can contribute back to the org. Everyone can write applications. Everyone is able to triage the same, communicate the same. We go crazy collecting metadata from all of these instances to look at efficiencies and resource planning within the groups. And it's a really powerful system where you can get everyone really working with the same platform, application side and dev side. So, you know, that's effectively, you know, on this slide, when we really looked at what platform was gonna help us do this the most successfully, we went the route of OpenStack. It has great community support. We have the ability to get in the code and get 30. Everyone's building against an API as opposed to looking at using config management systems like Puppet and Chef, that may be a part of your environment, but, you know, building against an API is something that developers are gonna embrace a lot more. Everyone can read the code and effectively, it encourages both ephemeral use and things that don't have persistent data as well as allowing you to integrate with systems that do have persistent data. So, if, thanks, if everyone has any quick questions for me, you can tweet stuff at me or send me an email. It's just chris at shudderstock.com. And thank you very much. Thank you, Chris. So, don't leave yet. So, when we've talked, one of the things that I found really interesting is, you know, you're obviously a technologist and you were throwing out some great stats about the kind of environment you're running, but the thing that really hit me when we talked before was, you have a business need, which is you have this application that has specific requirements that maybe don't fit into a menu-driven type technology offering, but you have developers who are, you know, developers, and they want to have an agile environment to work in. And so, how does OpenStack kind of allow you to meet both of those needs in your business? Absolutely. So, one of the key points that's been OpenStack so successful for us is that at first, we thought we could solve this with just config management. We laid down a big puppet tree and tried to teach all the developers how to work with a DSL or write scripts to interact with controlling their environment. And it had some good success, but really, they kind of hated it. They were like, I just want an API to do this thing. And so, effectively, as we've been transitioning our provisioning systems over to using OpenStack, we're able to get everyone to really be excited about, I can just write code that's gonna call the OpenStack's API, interact with it, provision my VMs, do all this work that before, they had to do in a language that was a little foreign to them and didn't make a lot of sense. And at the same time, we keep our ops team very happy in that we know a lot about what the metal's doing. It's not completely abstracted into a way that we feel we're losing control. And so, it's really helped bring those groups together in just a common language via being API-driven.  Correct. All right, well, thank you very much, Chris. Thanks. So, Shutterstock is focused on the needs of creative types and including individual creatives. The next user we're gonna bring up is a company called Digital Film Tree. And this is a move from individual creatives to big budget media. And this is gonna be an exciting session that we're going to have brought to us by the CTO of Digital Film Tree, Guillaume Obachan. So, I know it's an odd place to start, but I wanna talk about faith for a second. And I wanna talk about faith because we have an issue in our industry right now. And that fact is that we all have clouds. We as a post-facility have clouds as a VFX, and as we distribute content to a VFX facility or a sound facility, even back to a content owner like Warner Brothers or ABC or Disney, everyone has a cloud. The content owner, even individual companies, have siloed clouds within that company as they distribute back to archive and distribution. And then finally, once we get to digital distribution, we have Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, all these clouds that we're distributing feature films and television to. As content flows through all these clouds, these security needs are changing and the financial needs are changing. So, we have to have some faith that there's gonna be a fundamental change in our industry because in reality, none of these clouds are connected. So, we had to embrace an idea and not only look at our challenges as a business, but our challenges as the entertainment industry, as a community. So, we wanna talk about what our future cloud is because our future cloud isn't our siloed cloud. It's a community martini. So, as we looked for a solution to not only embrace cloud, but embrace cloud from a community perspective, we were looking for something that had open standards. So, we could incorporate multiple software vendors. We didn't feel like we needed to accelerate or push an ideology that was only our own, something that was open. We needed to share metadata through APIs with multiple software entities that were building their own clouds. And we did an easy way to have templating so that people who were not necessarily familiar with standing up their own clouds could share a common cloud infrastructure. Security was very important to us and it's very important to the entertainment industry as a whole. So, we wanted one user identity, this idea of federated identity so that we could have a single user, a single authenticated user. We would know that user from private cloud to public cloud and back to private cloud. And also, the idea that you could migrate that identity so that all these interconnected clouds could know who would have permission to a given asset. And we had to have ease of migration. So, once we started to talk about private cloud, public cloud and content flowing between private cloud and public cloud throughout a cycle of production on a television or film, we needed that ease of migration. For us, the key to our business is a files journey. A files journey from camera and acquisition through the creative process and editorial and manipulating that content into final distribution. So, really it's a files journey. And that files journey is important when you start to talk about public and private cloud and how that flows from one aspect to the next. And really in the end, it was deployment, deployment, deployment. We're the entertainment industry. We're not an industry of smart people like you in the audience. We're simple people with simple needs. And the bottom line is we're creative people. So, we needed a way to package deployment in a way that a studio or a content creator could deploy themselves. And really at the end of the day, what we ended up with was open stack as a private cloud and rack space as our public cloud. So, and we're sharing content between the two. And an example of that is a little unair clip from Modern Family. I didn't know what you wanted to drink, so I just got you the soda. That's fine, thank you. Cam, what did you do? I did exactly what you did because I know you so well. I didn't shake the soda. Then you have nothing to worry about, so go ahead and open it. I shook it, okay? I shook the soda, I shook it up. Are you happy?  I'm sorry, damn it. So, currently we're running our video streaming software on both a private and public open stack. And Modern Family has done that way. We did a feature this year called Her, which also used our software. And really what this software is, is it's collaboration software. So, when we think about cloud or we go out to an individual or a studio and talk about what cloud means to us, cloud means collaboration. It means creative collaboration.  Every single one of you who contributes to OpenStack, I owe you all a hug, so you have one free voucher for one hug from me, if you see me in the hallway. So, we are deeply indebted and are gratefully contributing back, and encouraging this idea of open source within the entertainment industry. Thank you very much. Thank you, Guillaume. So, a lot of people say that hybrid cloud is just a myth, but you guys are doing it. Absolutely. That's great. That clip, I didn't recognize that clip. What episode is that from? That's from episode, season five, episode six, which has yet to air this year. Wow, okay. So, you guys saw it here first. Unaired footage from Modern Family. So, thank you, Guillaume, and thank you, Fox, for letting us use that as well. Thank you very much. So, our third user that we're gonna bring up is not in the media business. They are in something that probably many of us have to deal with on a regular basis as we go about our business, but they are making use of OpenStack storage in some interesting ways, and I'm really excited to bring up senior manager from Concur, Dan Wilson. Go get him. Thank you. Really excited to be here today and have the opportunity to share the story about how we brought OpenStack into our environment. But before I get into that too much, let me tell you a little bit about Concur. How many folks here today are traveling on business with a show of hands? Thank you, quite a few. And of those, how many of you are excited about the prospect of filling out your expense claim to get reimbursed? Just as I thought, nobody. Nobody likes expense reports, and that's where Concur comes in. We automate expense reports and travel booking to make it easier for the business traveler, and at the same time, we give your businesses much better visibility into that spend so they can control costs before it happens. But don't take my word for it. Here's a short video from one of our customers. Great, well, you saw in the video there how he was taking a picture of the receipt. That is a critical part of our system and how it works. In order to get that visibility into the spend, we have to store the receipts in our system. And I don't know about you, but I don't remember what I expensed seven years ago. Well, guess what? We have to at Concur. We have to store that data for seven to 11 years depending on international tax laws. And that adds up to a lot of images. And what we saw is that with all of that data in our system and the growing adoption in mobile, that we need to make some changes to our environment to scale. One of the areas that we wanted to fix was our storage tier. We were relying on Windows file share technology and we wanted to bring in an object-based storage system. We ended up choosing Swift and I'll explain a little bit more about why we chose Swift in a few minutes. But before I do, here's a team at Concur that really made this a reality. Really proud to work with these developers and architects in our company. And this is the solution that we came up with which gives us a lot more linear processing and the ability to scale every tier of the processing. So why did we pick Swift? Well, first of all, it gives us the ability to choose our own hardware for our data centers to run our storage system. What gives us better cost savings at that tier and gives us the performance that our customers need. And when we grow that system, all of the data gets spread equally across every node so our customers have a very consistent performance experience. Another aspect that I love is the visibility into the code. There's nothing more frustrating to me than when I get an error message, I don't know what it is. I Google it. Google doesn't know what it is. And then I'm left to use enterprise support or customer support and most of the time it just leaves us very frustrated and not knowing the cause of an issue and we have to find a way to architect around it. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to dig deep into the code and improve the code for the entire community. The last feature which was really critical to us and we couldn't deploy in our environment without is global clusters. And Jonathan's gonna come back up and tell us more about that. Jonathan? Thanks, Dan. Thank you. So we just had our eighth release of OpenStack, the Havana release and there were about 400 features in there but one of the biggest ones was in the object storage system and this was an update to how replication and data is managed not just within a single cluster. The object storage system has always had a high level of durability within an OpenStack cluster that's in a region or a data center but in Havana this was really improved to where these clusters can now span multiple geographies. So you can have an object storage cluster that has nodes in Portland and nodes in Hong Kong and replication is managed across both of those environments so that you get an even higher level of durability but it goes even farther than that. And we have a little animation here, let's go ahead and play that that demonstrates how this actually trickles down to the individual users. If you have an environment that spans multiple clusters you can as a user just go about your normal daily use of your applications and using technologies like geo load balancing and geo DNS be routed automatically to the location in your global Swift cluster that's closest to you. So I upload some data and it gets written to Portland because I'm in the U.S. The object storage system then automatically replicates that data to the other locations in the global cluster and now we have durable copies in Hong Kong. What's great about it though is now if I am traveling and let's say that I'm in Europe and I wanna pull up something from the internet and we all know that what the internet is good for is silly cat photos, right? Then geo DNS is automatically gonna route me to the closest location and pull that data in this case, Hong Kong. So you end up with a higher level of durability. You end up with better performance for your end users and you can also end up with lower cost for performance across this new feature that's actually in built right into open stack object storage now. Thank you. Well, as you heard, it's a pretty incredible feature. I'm really excited about having it in our data centers. What we really like about it is a couple of things. One, it gives us that resiliency across multiple regions for our data. It's very important that we keep all of our images but also it gives our customers better performance when they're accessing their receipts. We plan on using this technology in other big business segments at Concur and I would like to give our customers the option to choose which regions their data is stored in. So with that and thanks to the efforts of the community to bring that feature into open stack Swift and also thank you to Swift Stack, we're able to now scale our architecture the way it needs to scale over the next year or several years I should say, sorry. In fact, I did an analysis over what we're expecting for our scale and within five years we'll have over 10 billion images stored in our environment and now we have an environment that can handle that. Great, thank you Dan. Thank you. So 10 billion images and as you were pointing out, your customers are some of the biggest companies in the world and there are rules and regulations around what you have to do with all of these artifacts to maintain them and yet you're using something that's really kind of cutting edge technology from an open source project. How do you get the comfort level in deploying that kind of technology? Have you been able to find the partners and the support that you need from the community? Yeah, that was huge for us. I mean, we're not experts at this. We're still learning and having a strong partner that knew it already made a big difference and really we had to trust that company quite a bit because it is such a critical part of our infrastructure. Yeah, and I think that many of these users that we're gonna hear from have found partners like Swiftstack and others in the ecosystem that have helped them to be able to meet those business needs. So thank you very much, Dan. Thank you. Thank you. That was an interesting range of use cases with large scale compute services, large scale storage services, hybrid cloud across a number of different industries. And as we go through this week, there's going to be a lot more content that's delivered out there. We just heard from these users how OpenStack is having an impact in their business every day. And we're gonna hear that from dozens of other users. And tomorrow, Mark Collier, the COO of the OpenStack Foundation is going to be kicking off the keynotes in the morning with a session that spotlights some outstanding users from China specifically. And so come back tomorrow because that one's gonna be very interesting. But you know, if managing large scale data, if running application infrastructure or doing software development as strategic for your business, then OpenStack is a platform that can have an impact for your business as well. And we are seeing that over and over and over again. And at this event, at these summits, we come to learn, we come to meet and to spend time with the community, but we also come to plan the future. And I just wanna leave with a couple of thoughts on that, on the future. Because there's a lot of talk about the future and about what OpenStack is going to become. What is it going to be? And in a lot of those discussions, they're filled with industry jargon. You know, you see a lot of terms that get thrown around, a lot of acronyms. And ultimately, I think that the terms are the least important part. What really matters is that we are engaging users and we're solving their problems, we're meeting their needs, and we're building software that lets them go out and do the things they need to do in their business. And if we think back to the mission that OpenStack laid out years ago, it's to produce the ubiquitous open source cloud computing platform to meet the needs of public and private clouds regardless of size. And that is a very broad mission, it's a very big mission. But we are actually doing that. And that's really incredible. That's what this community has been able to do over the past three years. And there are gonna be debates about all kinds of things. You can look at any large community, whether it's Android or iOS or Linux, whatever it is, there are always debates about where they begin, where they end, what category they fit into. Every ambitious project is going to have those debates and it's going to evolve over time. But I think that as long as we can focus in on users and on their needs, on creating a platform and an ecosystem, then OpenStack is going to continue to grow and to have a lot of success. Because users, they don't obsess about SaaS and Pass and IaaS and those kinds of things. They obsess about solving their problems. And right now they're doing that through a combination of OpenStack software, of added services on top of that, of tools that they build, tools that the ecosystem builds. And so what we are seeing is that the community and the process that we have in place in OpenStack is really doing amazing things for our users out there. Because OpenStack is a place where individuals can come and have an impact and that is why OpenStack is having an impact. Anything that has an impact in this world, ultimately it comes down to the individuals who are taking part in that, driving it forward and making it happen. And this community has developed an amazing system for enabling people to do that. So this week, we're gonna have thousands of people from 50 countries that are going to be here building the software that's powering hundreds of clouds, doing millions of dollars of business and it's all going to be happening right here in Hong Kong. And that to me is extremely exciting. So I think that just in closing, what we are seeing is the power of open communities, open source, open platforms and open systems. Mr. Daniel Lai, who's the government CIO for Hong Kong that introduced us this morning, you might have noticed that he had his notes on a Nexus 7 and we met him last night at an event, a community event and walked up and shook his hands and he was really excited and he reached into his suit jacket pocket and pulled out his Nexus 7, which I was like, how does your suit jacket have a pocket that big? But he was very excited because he's on an open system now and he talked about how important open systems are from a government perspective, from an innovation perspective. They want to encourage startups and businesses to thrive in Hong Kong and they want to encourage open systems as an enabler for all of that. And that's what we see across these open systems. You think about Linux and Android, those are technologies that knowingly or not we interact with every single day and more and more, OpenStack is becoming a technology like that.  And right now, this week, Hong Kong, the OpenStack Summit is the center of it all. So you are in the right place at the right time. So thank you for being here. We're all very excited to have you join us this week as part of the OpenStack community.


Here we will see how to fill the forms by using this activity. So we have property named the pdf form fields and if we can review that format in which value will be provided is very simple. So first of all we need to provide the page index its zero base index then the form field name property and the value property. Now I already have some input data here and if we review that so first of all is the page index so we are it is one so we are going to fill in the second number of page and this is the name of the property and this is the value we are also going to add another property so it is separated by the pipe and let me show you the fields which we we are going to fill so we are going to fill the unnamed and couple of other properties in this form we can see like these are the in the form field format so we can actually type here okay let me copy this and configure this property in the UI path so it is done and let me also change the destination file path here from the result underscore text to result underscore form and now that we are all configured let's try and see this in action okay now the execution has been completed let us read somewhere here in the output and yes this is our output file result underscore form and if we open this on the second page we should see some of the properties already filled so we can see the name properties filled out we also have the social security number filled out now one thing to note here we have provide the name fields here so if you are not not familiar how to get these name property you can tie some some of the free open source softwares for example if you want to try fear or bias code is provided in the PDF multi-tool you can Google this out and get the name of all the all the form fields from there so this is how easy you can fill out the PDF form using this PDF filler activity thank you


What's up guys root of the null? I'm not going to show you any Python code today or in this video But I do want to kind of show you this cool interesting and fascinating thing If you do some reading with SimPy and the module online It does note and kind of direct you to this cool Wikipedia article for Richardson's theorem Which is all about equality and how you can't really prove two equal things are equal symbolically so Check this out this Wikipedia article and mathematics Richardson's theorems establishes a limit on the extent to which an algorithm can decide Whether a certain mathematical expressions are equal it states that fairly certain natural class of expressions It is undecidable whether a particular expression e satisfies the equation equal zero and similarly Undecidable whether the functions defined by expressions e and f are equal everywhere In fact equals f and only if only if sorry e minus f is equal to zero now This was proven in 1968 by computer scientist Daniel Richardson of here the University of Bath man I'm not going to give this guy any shame But I mean University of Bath is pretty cool like if I could go to the University of a shower I'd go if I could go to University of hot tub man. That's all my money You know here it is take it take 12 take 20 now. I'm not going to read any more of this to you guys I just think it's cool. I mean being part of the programming world being part of this Intellectual sphere you can emerge with mathematics and science and really really cool stuff So I just wanted to show this to you kind of an interesting mind thing and oh man Daniel Richardson's been deleted. I Mean hey University of Bath still got to be open if you know what I'm saying there we go


Welcome to Digital Asset News. Take a top story as in crypto and bring out a bite-sized piece. So just like the thumbnail suggests, this is probably the most bear scenario I could possibly find. And it's from Seeking Alpha, the author is Clem Chambers, and it talks about Bitcoin Crash 2021, Moon or Doom. Take a close look at these charts. I'm going to take a look at the charts when he's talking about, and I'm actually going to bring in an alternative opinion from CJ Rykel, who is from Market Rebellion. And we'll do a quick interview about what he thinks that this is even remotely possible. On top of that, we'll take a look at what is going on with Bitcoin mining as Bitcoin miners are getting into the nuclear-powered division, which I think is pretty fascinating. And also, I want to take a look at a really good interview from Tony at Thinking Crypto as he brings in Alex Moshinsky, who says that the bull run is still on, and he still predicts Bitcoin at 160,000. And he lets lay that they are also getting into Bitcoin mining over there at Celsius. And then finally, I just want to do a quick update and tell you that I will be on Invest Answers with James tonight in about an hour or so. So let's push this video out as fast as we can. All right, so that is what is going on. Let's take a look at what's going on in the market, and it is just downright awful. I think it's the 15th, July 15th, and that's what's going on. 1.28 trillion market cap. Hey, we knew July was going to suck, and it did not disappoint. So here we are. So let's take a look at what is going on as far as behind the scenes and how the coins themselves are not doing so hot. So what do we got here? So we got Bitcoin, and it looks like we're at $31,000.35. So it's still about 30. That's not too bad. 24 hours down, 5%. If their name is down, 5%. Together, nobody cares. Binance coin, and pretty much five to six, even 7% down. 10% for Matic. Ouchy. That's pretty bad. And then, yeah, just keeps going down and down and down. And this is, it doesn't really matter just how great the news becomes or what's going on. We see that this narrative, there's only so much they can push. And what it says to me is that to make it very simple, there's more sellers than there are buyers. And that's really what it comes down to, bulls and bears. So let's take a look at one of the most bearish that I have ever possibly seen. And this was sent to me by a subscriber on Twitter, and I had to cover it. Because when I saw it, I'm like, this is just one of many type of articles that are going to come out for a super bear scenario. So yesterday, I talked about how I am continuing to buy into cryptocurrency. I continued Delacost Average. I just did it today, as a matter of fact, on Voyager on my automatic purchases. And the reason I bring this to everybody's attention is because when I was going through this in 2017, 2018, all the channels were the same. They were like, it's going to the moon. It's going to the moon, 8,000, 12,000, 19,000, almost 20,000. It's going to the moon. It's going to the moon. Then we drip, we dip back to 16,000. It's going to the moon. Then it went down to 13,000. It's going to the moon, then 10,000. It's going to the moon. And then people were still talking about how it's going to a million and everything else. Look, you got to be a realist around here.  When the market is sucking, you got to say the market sucks. And that's pretty much what it is. Now, I'm not saying that what this article is talking about, that it's going to go down to $8,000 Bitcoin, which would probably mean that the market cap would fall around 300, 400, something. That's crazy. 300, 400 billion. But I need to show you all the different things that are out there so you can look at that and go, that doesn't make sense. Okay, maybe a little bit of this, maybe a little bit of that. And you can just be a little bit more informed. I am not here to be Mr. Hopium and everything's going to the moon and we're going to a million dollars. There's a ton of channels out there for you for that. I'm just an investor. I still believe in the market. I still think we're going to go places. And I just want to make everybody aware. So what's going on here? So Bitcoin, Crash 2021, Moon or Doom. Take a look at these charts. And this is from Clem. I like Clem. Seems like a pretty good guy. Very conservative. He's a CEO of Global Stock Shares and Crypto Information website, advfn.com. Amazon number one best seller, 100 ways to pick stock market winners. And just so you know, anybody can be an Amazon best seller. Depends on what category you're in. Anyhow, so Clem's got a very thought-provoking article here and he says, look, I expect Bitcoin, he gives a summary, which is great. I expect Bitcoin to break down soon and settle below 20,000. You can also make a bull case from the charts. From a TA perspective, it might be a classic W form recovery. And it's a trader's paradise, but noise trading is an extremely difficult and costly game. So just be aware and just be very careful. And that's why like when we talk about things as far as like what to trade, if you are a trader, that's why we take a look at trade the chain for sentiment analysis. That's why we talk. I bring in my friends over there at Mark Rebellion so you can learn about technical analysis and you can do some fundamental stuff, which is what I usually talk about. So this is why like all the noise, it's best to get as much information as you possibly can. So Clem here says, this is crazy. I'm not a long-term bear. I'm a strong long-term bull.  It is a long-term bull stance. I mean, just give it three years and it'll be there. I mean, look, everybody that you ever going to talk to about crypto, except for that gold bug nonsense guy, is going to say that there is a recovery. What goes down will come up at some point. Not every time.  That's it. But for crypto, the question isn't will it recover. The question is when. So really when it comes down to it, I have my theory. I think the recovery comes August, September, October, somewhere around there. I thought I was thinking August might be a little bit longer. But the question is, what if it's not? What if it goes to September? Can I hold on? What if it goes to November, December? Can I hold on? Because I can't tell you what to do. This is investment opinion, not investment advice. And the answer to me is yes, because I see where we're going. I've seen these different cycles, even if we have an elongated cycle, so much. So that's what we have to deal with. It just gives me a lot longer to accumulate. And that's just how it goes. So he states, you can also make a bull case from the charts. And it does well to examine both viewpoints before making up your mind. Totally agree. And this is the crazy one. He says, this is the most drastic. And you can see like, this is essentially from October 2020 to April 21 when we hit our all-time highs, or May, and it just plummets all the way down almost below $8,000. Pretty crazy. I don't really see that the TA part of this, just nice lines, but that's it. And then he says, here's a less drastic one. He draws a line to 11,000. So okay. And then he goes on to say, the bull case is strongly held. And he says, the bulls are right in the long term, but just not in the near and medium term. Again, if you talk to anybody for most type of investors, unless they are really far out there in super-duper gold bugs, and that's all they get, they're going to tell you, there's a recovery. There's a massive rally coming. The question is, when? So from a technical analysis point of view, they expect the current chart development turning into the classic W form. You will see time and time again. And this is what he's talking about right here. We go down and we're, we've caught up a little bit. Now we're in July, we're going down again as we just saw. And then we might see a big of recovery, August, September or so, up to 60,000 or back to 60,000. And then he talks about this, these are the moonboys essentially that thinks that it's going to 80,000, 100,000. And me and Alex Moshinsky do think that Bitcoin will hit 100,000 before the end of the year. I think it's between 100 and 130,000. Alex Moshinsky thinks it's 160,000. So it depends on who you, you believe is that's what it could be true. Anyhow, and here's some great points that Clem makes. And for every article that's out there, you have to take what you believe or what you think is actually valuable and take it for your own. And this is what I took. The novice investor or trader puts much store about being right when in reality it is about making money. And that is the exact truth for a bear. What might they do if Bitcoin starts to rally? And what he's talking about here is he's like, I'm going to give you a scenario for the bear and the bull and what he would do. And that's the only thing that you can really do is just say, look, here's a scenarios that could play out, we could go sideways, could go down a little bit, could go up massively. So I'm going to play it in either way.  What would you do if Bitcoin shoots up? He says, don't essentially don't get into Bitcoin, jump on DeFi. And I think a lot of people would agree with him that Ethereum and the DeFi projects are probably going to rally massively as the market goes up. And he says, meanwhile, for the trader, this is these are the guys in between, this is trading heaven. However, as many find out, noise trading is extremely difficult and a costly game. And that's what we talked about as far as trade the chain and market rebellion. And then lastly, and this is what is the bearish scenario. The strategy for him remains, wait for a final leg down and then begin a dollar cost average back into crypto for the long haul to the next happening. And I will just say this, if you take a look at what he believes it to be, it's going to be somewhere between $8,000 and $11,000 Bitcoin. So he's waiting for that to actually dollar cost average in. But the question for me is, what if we don't hit that? What if we just go down to what I think we're down to, which is $26,000, and then we start to do sideways and recover? What if we go to $22,000 or $20,000? Do you just miss it the whole way? And then just let it go all the way up? Or how is that player? You just throw your arms in the air and go, okay, hit $40,000. I guess that's just what it is. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring in a person much smarter than me on technicals, CJ Rykel from Market Rebellion, and have him answer these types of questions. All right, everybody. So we just looked at that totally bearish article and what was going on. So I'm not the TA master. That's why I bring in people way smarter than me, like CJ Rykel from Market Rebellion. CJ, thanks for coming on. Talk to us about the most bearish article I've seen in quite some time. First of all, thanks for having me, Rob. Honored to be back on Digital Asset News. But yeah, I saw you send me that earlier this morning. And that was the most bearish outcome I had really ever seen from a TA perspective. And many times what I've said when I come on here is that, although I love technical analysis, it's more for perfect entry and exit points as opposed to the overall fundamental structure of the trend. I always think it's important to have a good understanding of fundamentals, things like the stock to flow ratio to pair with your own technical analysis. That's just always my approach. But would you like to get into some of these charts then? Let's take a look. Because, I mean, first of all, it's just interesting how this all kind of played out. So this was the article we just talked about. So talk to me about how this looks to you and the whole setup. This was the most, this was the astronaut version. This is the moonshot. And then, whoops, up here, this was the most bearish version you could possibly get. What can I really say about that? I do see us currently breaking critical levels, namely at 32 and 31K. And I have a chart that I'll show in just a moment here that is a little bit more thorough analysis, I guess I'll say. But this chart really has no bottom, right? It goes even way below 20K, which I just don't really see as being practical. I mean, I can tell you firsthand, just on the institutional side, there's an immense amount of interest building, whether it be through new clearinghouses emerging within investment banks or various cryptocurrency hedge funds coming up. The interest in the space is still increasing. And when you think about that fundamentally, I don't think it matches the technicals when you just put a straight line down, which is a breakdown from this head and shoulders pattern. So that's what I would have to say about that. But I would love to be able to show my own interpretation or forecast of what we might see in the coming weeks to months. Sure. Yeah, and then pull that up. And then I'll share with everybody. And while you're getting that, let me just make mention of if you are looking to follow somebody who's been in the space for quite some time, CJ's got a great Twitter showing over there at Chris Reichel. And I'll put that link in the description below. But if you're just looking for practical information about technical analysis and really breaks it down, not only that, I like how CJ also quotes a lot of the elders or the old sages in the traditional market space.  I've seen a bunch of different things. And it's all sound advice. And it's the same thing that I've been talking about for a long time. And of course, he covers cryptocurrency. So definitely, I've got him on mine. And again, I'll link that in the description below. So CJ, let me come over here. What do we got? Or what do you want to show? Yeah, so just want to flash the disclaimer real quick. Nothing said by digital asset news or market rebellion should be considered financial advice. But with that out of the way, let's go through the analysis. So right recently, you know, we had kind of this, this symmetrical triangle, and now we've broken down from that. And we've kind of gone into something known as like a descending triangle now, which is much more bearish implications. So if we check that out on this chart, you can see that we're already starting that breakdown. And this period of time reminds me very much of 2018 and kind of the complacency that we saw there. And you can see that these triangle formations, whether it be through ascending or descending triangles, are incredibly familiar to Bitcoin traders because we've had quite a few of them throughout our time. But what this reminds me of is the 2018 period right here in which we had this descending triangle and eventually broke down. So if we are to break down, you know, where are our targets in the short term? Well, first, I would say 28k, because that is our level of previous support that we had hit prior. And then the final target is ultimately like 25k. I don't really see us going below those levels in the short term. I will say that I do agree with that particular author on the bearish side. I am in bearish positions right now, but I still am a very long term bull and believer in Bitcoin. And I'll show you a little something that I think is pretty interesting when we zoom out and look at the weekly chart. And it's because we had a very clear head and shoulders pattern. Holy smokes. We had a very clear head and shoulders pattern that eventually brought us down to our current levels. And we're breaking that neckline, right? We're breaking the support level of about 31k, which we came down initially after our first run to about 30k. And so, you know, what the technician that we looked at previously basically just had a straight line, you know, downward all the way to 8,000 or 13,000. And, you know, I just don't see that being practical. I mean, if Bitcoin dies, like, yeah, I mean, eventually it goes to zero, but that just doesn't seem practical. Like I said, with that fundamental and institutional demand that like many of us witness firsthand. So one pattern that's pretty intriguing to me is kind of the conjoined head and shoulders. Because if we are to break down right here, I do see us finding a short term bottom very quickly, and then likely finding some by pressure on the way up. This actually happened in the S&P 500 earlier in this year. And this is kind of a very textbook example, you know, we have the left shoulder, we have our top, and then we come down and break the neckline. But then this right shoulder of the first head and shoulders pattern then becomes the left shoulder. And so these head and shoulders pattern ultimately have a conjoined leg in which they become one. And so these patterns actually do kind of turn out more often than we think. And I think that would fit a very fundamental and very technical setup if we are to kind of continue this bearish downturn in the short term. But when we talk about things like stock to flow, and when we talk about things on chain, and much more from a fundamental perspective, all of that work still suggests you know, 100k, maybe not by the end of the year, but at least, you know, going into the spring and kind of that particular time. Holy smokes. Yeah, so we're looking at, like I always said that July is going to be an awful month, and so far been correct. I thought there's going to be a turnaround in August, but it looks like for your reverse head and shoulders, we might see August actually things bleeding into August, and then reversing all the way, maybe middle end, and then September, October, November, we see more of the fireworks. Yeah, you know, this is particularly true in the stock market, but also sometimes true in the cryptocurrency market, we typically get stagnation and not a lot of volume over the summer months in general. Then once we have a lot of individuals going back to work, you know, we have wealthy individuals returning from the Hamptons and all type of things like that, there becomes much more volume around the first months in the fall, you know, people back behind their screens, they're not really doing those summer activities, so to speak as well. And so I think that we will likely begin another leg up to the bull cycle, sometime in the fall or winter of 2021 towards the end of the year. It just, you know, markets are cyclical. It's something that cannot be really denied. It's not an absolute, but historically that would suggest something of that sort. Yeah, so like I've always said, I know, I believe, I don't know anything, no one really knows, no one's got a crystal ball. I believe that we're going to have a turnaround and we should see a pretty good market. The real question is when? And that is really the hardest thing. So CJ, before we take off two things. First of all, everybody as a reminder, check out, oops, check out CJ over there at Twitter. And then also just real quick, CJ, any thoughts on Bitcoin going to zero? What would be the scenario where Bitcoin goes to zero? Because I was listening to Alex Machinsky over on KITCO and they asked him the same question. And he was like, he had a reasonable answer. I just want to hear yours, what you think that it could actually happen. Yeah, I mean, it's so strange, right? Because even altcoins that have been 51% attacked have not gone to zero. And so you have to think about confidence in an asset and what makes something completely go to zero. And if it's not traded and nobody has liquidity for it, then it will go to zero technically. But a massive lack of demand obviously makes price go down 80% or 90% of things like that. But as long as two people want to trade Bitcoin, and there's liquid exchanges that can allow them to, I don't see that it's going to zero. Also, there's just too many, there's too much fundamental value here. The concept of being able to send a scarce digital asset anywhere in the world in under 30 minutes is an incredible value proposition. And it still kind of amazes me that certain people will deny that that has value because I do believe it has a significant amount of value. So I'm interested to hear kind of what Alex Moshinsky said and how he answered that question as well. He pretty much said no. That was pretty much it. He's like, no. And then the reporter from Kitco, he said, what do you think about quantum computing? And he said, look, he goes, I was just on a panel with the quantum computer experts about a week ago. And then he says like, we're like three or four years away. And then some different blockchains already quantum computer resistant. So he goes, and we've got four years to do this. So he just said, no, it's not going to happen. Anyhow, that's it. Again, CJ, thanks for coming on. And then let's jump back. All right. Thanks, CJ. So I hope that made a lot of sense. And again, just follow CJ over at Twitter, links in the description. So now what I want to do is move on to what I think is pretty darn interesting, actually, nuclear powered Bitcoin mining. And there's the big uproar about clean energy and so on and so forth. So here's the clean she can, well, well, I'll get to that. Compass mining partners with Oklo to power Bitcoin mining operations with advanced vision. Bitcoin mining firm Compass mining announced the company's energy 20 year partnership with Oklo Inc, a California based firm that provides clean emission free energy via advanced vision. So this, to me, I think is the next step. If you want the cleanest and reusable, here it is. And this is how they do it. So the Bitcoin mining council published a report that estimated around 50% for 6% of Bitcoin's 256 hash rate was powered by clean energy. Pretty good. Although depends on who you ask, they just want to dismiss that and go, no, it's all coal powered and, you know, run by kids or whatever. So anyhow, on Wednesday, the Bitcoin mining company Compass mining announced it's partnering with Oklo Inc. in order to acquire clean energy. Details that Oklo provide 150 megawatts of power to Compass for the first phase of the partnership. Here's a nice little view of artist rendering and what it could look like. Looks like Little House of the Prairie just in the future. And Oklo highlights that the firm's advanced vision process can produce power for Compass for 20 years. And this is what's interesting. And I need to get something from Oklo to come in. It states here, there's never a need to refuel with advanced fission processes. And Oklo's advanced vision powerhouses also leverage capabilities to turn nuclear waste into clean energy. I don't know how they make that miracle happen, but I'd love to know. Basically, advanced vision is a form of nuclear fission in which an atom's nucleus is split into two or more smaller nuclei. The process introduces an output of neutrons and gamma photons, which can be leveraged for all types of energy purposes. So look, if that went over your head, you're not alone. It sounds great. It sounds good. I'd love to interview somebody about that, which leads me to my next point where we talk about Alex Machinsky. So this was on Tony's show, Thinking Crypto. Check it out. Link in the description. I'm not going to play it. You can watch it. And really what it comes out of this, Alex reveals that Celsius is getting into the Bitcoin mining. They put $200 million into Bitcoin mining. And they said they actually did it pretty much right before this huge China ban. So it was like a real perfect time. So if you're looking for yield and things like that, they're doing everything they possibly can. On top of that, he talked about how they have a transparent community and how you can actually look into what is being used and spent throughout the whole Celsius network, which I think is a new process. So to take a look at that, I just thought it was interesting that Celsius is getting into Bitcoin mining. They are here in West Texas. And I wonder if they're going to partner up with Oklo for clean energy and nuclear fission. So let me know what you think about that in the comments section. And then lastly, I would just want to talk about, I will be on James's show over there at Invest Answers.   Not as conservative as Clem, but pretty conservative. So check us out in about 30 minutes or so. It's about one PM here. It'll be one PM in about an hour. And that is it for today. So look, thanks for watching all the way to the end. I know it's a little bit longer, but there's so much stuff going on. And again, I only put this out not to spread fud, but just so you know, there's going to be these types of articles out there, and you really have to break them down into what people are saying. Take the information that is relevant to you and what you think is correct, and move on from there. This is not investment advice, just investment opinion, but I still believe in the long-term functionality of crypto and the digital asset market, I will continue to dial the cost average. And I think there is a huge rally on the horizon. All right, so thanks so much. Give it a like, give it a subscribe. See you on the next one, or I'll see you on the Best Answers. See ya.
