Okay, welcome back. We'll go to the last chapter in this hour. Lifestyle of worship. Okay, lifestyle of worship. So, I'll just read from the notes. Our lives can be at times very well planned, highly regimented and tightly compartmentalized. Even with all our understanding of God and worship, it's possible that we think of worship as something that's sincere, authentic, but reserved for a set time and a set place. It has nothing to do with what we discussed. I was just saying, this is only partly correct. I'm not looking at anyone. Okay, so just look at the passage one more time. Our lives can be at times very well planned. It has absolute order, highly regimented, tightly compartmentalized. Everything has a box. Even with all our understanding of God and worship, it is possible that we think of worship as something that is sincere, authentic, but it's reserved for a set time at a set place. Okay, like what we were just discussing is we've made, that's what we've made worship as. We think worship is that 45 minutes of time in the church building, but that worship is a lot more, isn't it? We've done a lot of worship workshops. Yeah, a lot of worship workshops. The first question when I ask is, okay, what is worship? One of the classic line is worship is a lifestyle. It's a mic drop, worship is a lifestyle, but it truly is. That's what it is and that's what some of the points we will learn and how can we live a lifestyle of worship? Okay, that's what this chapter is all about. How can we live a lifestyle of worship? So the first thing is a life of kindness and generosity. Okay, life of, everybody say kindness. Okay, thank you. So Hebrews chapter 13 verse 56, we look at kindness first. Okay, therefore by him, let us continually offer the sacrifices, sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of our lips by giving thanks to his name. Most of the time we stop at that verse, but look at the next verse, but do not forget to do good and to share for which such sacrifices God is well pleased. Okay, do not forget to do good. Can someone go to Psalm 37? Psalm 37 verse 3. Thank you. So trust in the Lord and okay, so in that Psalm, right? Psalm 37 in the first eight verses, okay, at least eight or nine verses, you will read the, it says don't be afraid or do not fret. At least like on four or five times, I do not, don't be afraid or do not fret, do not fret, do not fret, do not fret. In the midst of that, it's saying, okay, in all of that, trust in God, okay, trust in him. But while you're trusting in him, don't forget to do good. Are you with me? Okay, so in the Greek word used there for good is, is being, it's an act of being kind and generous. Okay, it's an act, act is a verb, right? You have to do something. It's not enough for you to think good of someone. Okay, I want to do good to this person. I want to do good to this person. I want to do good to this person. What are you doing?  But it's an act. You have to do it. Okay. There's a quote on gratitude. Gratitude simply means, I mean, you have to express. It's not enough saying, okay, I'm grateful. I'm grateful. You're just thinking about it.  What am I saying? I'm verbalizing it. I'm making it an act, isn't it? And so that's what it's all about is the first thing of living a lifestyle of worship is don't forget to do good. Okay, some practical everyday examples. It is a well-pleasing sacrifice offered to God when we are kind to others in our words. Hallelujah. Okay. And we are kind to others in our words. In my opinion, in my humble opinion, there are two most expensive gifts that I can give to someone. In my alabaster jar, two most expensive gifts is one is my time. It's the most expensive and most precious gift I can give someone. Me saying, I want to sit with you. I want to hear what you are going through. What am I doing? I'm giving you my time, right? And the other thing are my words. Now, some of the hardest things, I mean, toughest things in my life growing up, I don't remember the beatings that I got from my dad. I do actually remember, but I don't remember pain. But the pain that I still remember are the words that were spoken. Does anyone relate to one? Are the words that were spoken useless? Work in a garage, good for nothing. All of those words is what caused more pain than the actual beatings. Okay, so a word of encouragement to someone can be, it's like an oxygen for them. It'll be their oxygen. It's like, okay, you're making them alive again. Okay. And they're very precious guys. So kind to others in your words, speaking in truth, but in love, speaking edifying words that impart grace. Find others in our actions. It's so effective that it's easy to understand. Okay, so generous resources. Not selfish, but rather share what we have with others. Okay. So the first thing we learned is kind, isn't it? Kindness, you speak good and you do good. Imagine how beautiful this planet would be if everybody just spoke kind words and did kind stuff. We would have not had world wars. We would have not had, why you have to go to war? Okay, we would not have any political stuff in the church itself. We would treat Christians as Christians and everybody else as God's people. Are you with me? Okay. So kind to others and be kind in your actions. Generous with our resources. Again, what is that word, bro? Generous? Udharth. Udharth, that's a Hindi word, right? Oh, he got it. Okay. So he understood. All right.  Udharth. Give her a word. Take it. Okay. Give her, give me some examples. Some of the things that can be generous with serving. Okay. We're not expecting anything. Okay. Yeah. With good words. Stotram. Stotram. Yeah. Generous with, you can be generous with your good kind words. Right. Most of the time we hold good words back because we didn't receive good words growing up. Right. There's a saying that says hurting people hurt others. There's a quote that says hurting people hurt others. Okay. Just because I didn't receive. Why do we have in our other colleges and our ragging? There's no ragging here. Don't worry. But in other colleges, I mean, it's like a culture is why, because I want to put the first years through what I went through because my seniors put me through this. Isn't it? But just because we didn't receive kind words while we were growing up, we tend to be like, okay, I don't want to go. Why should I go and say he's looking handsome? He's looking like a prince. Even though his name is Prince. So you can be generous with your words. So most of the time when we hear the word generous, we tend to think that, okay, you can only be generous with money. Most of the time that's what people think. Okay. If I'm, I'm generous only if I give more money. Money is not the only thing that we can give. Isn't it? Yes, we can give. But words, time, it can be generous with your time. Isn't it? And what else? Forgiveness. So there's this beautiful story of Alexander the Great. And I want to read it for us. Okay. It's a story of everybody knows Alexander the Great. All right. He's my Peripa. Okay. So here's the story. The story is told that one day a beggar by the roadside asked money from Alexander the Great as he walked by. The man was poor and had no claim upon the ruler, no right to even lift up his hand. Okay. So this is the beggar. He had absolutely no right to lift up his hand and even ask for anything because he's a beggar and Alexander is the conqueror. Isn't it? And I like this thing. Yet Alexander threw him several gold coins. Okay. With me, right? So the beggar asking for money with Alexander and Alexander throws him several gold coins. Now a minister who was Alexander was astonished at his generosity and asked him, Sir, copper coins would have adequately met beggar needs. Why give him gold? And so why did you have to give him gold? But you could have just given him copper coins. And I like this. It says Alexander responded in a royal fashion. He responded in a royal fashion. I just love that. He says copper coins would suit the beggars need. But gold coins suit Alexander's giving. That's good, isn't it? Right? Copper coins suit beggars needs but gold coins suit my giving. Right? He responded in a royal fashion. I mean, if only you and I know who we are, we are called the sons and daughters of the most high God. He is the king of all kings. The Bible says, right? He is the Lord of hosts. Isn't it? He is our creator. And so when we realize that we are his sons, we are his daughters. We are walking like friends and princes on earth. When we live our life out of that identity that we are children of God, you can't help but be kind and be generous. Right? So here's the thing. Generous or generosity is not only about what you give. Okay. It's also about what you are willing to give up. Okay. Generosity is not only about what you give, but it's also about what you give up. Okay. Can someone read Philippians chapter 2, 6 and 8 please. Philippians chapter 2 verse 6 and 8. Go on. Verse 8, 6, 7, 8. That's it. So verse 8. Okay.  It's very popular on Philippians 2, 6, 7, 8. Even though he was in the form of God, God himself, he made himself of nothing. Right? One version says he humbled himself. There's another version that says he emptied himself. He emptied himself. That means he gave up his, this glory and all the amazing stuff of heaven. And he made himself of a born servant. Isn't it? What's this? Can someone else read 2 Corinthians chapter 8 verse 9? 2 Corinthians chapter 8 verse 9. Yeah, hold on a second. Yeah, 2 Corinthians chapter 8 verse 9, right? No, just one verse. Yeah. Very awesome. Thank you. It says, for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, royalty, right? Royal. Though he was rich, yet for your sake, he became poor. So that you, by his poverty, might become rich. Okay. Guys, when you display generosity, when you are generous, you are representing or displaying everything about God. Everything. Right? I mean that's what he did, isn't it? He gave. He gave, he gave, he gave, he gives, he gives. He gave his only begotten Son. Isn't it? Jesus didn't have to come, but he came, isn't it? Right?  Are you with me? So don't forget, let's keep it simple. Don't forget to do good. Be kind. Be generous. Okay. Remember the story of Alexander the Great. Okay. Always remember to respond in a royal fashion. Are you with me? Right? So I'm going to ask one cone of ice cream. You can give me 10. I'm not going to complain. Okay. Let's, let's move on. Let's look at the same point because everything has a pretty much self-explanatory. The second point in living a life of worship is helping out guys, a life of unholyness. Is it? Life of holiness. Okay. Life of holiness and consecration. Okay. Okay. So Romans step to 12 was one and two says, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that you present your bodies, a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service and do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove that what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Okay. That you present your bodies, a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable to God. Okay. Hey, someone online, anyone online, can you post the message version of Romans step to 12 was one and two. Please. Anyone online? Thanks. Message version of Romans step to 12 was one and two. If you can find it, that'll be great. Okay. Let's read another scripture. Romans chapter six was 13 and 14 and do not present your members as instrument of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourself to God as being alive from the dead and your member as instruments of righteousness to God. Another scripture at the bottom Romans 6 18 and 19. The very last line says now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. Okay. Now, I can't talk enough about living a life of holiness. First Chronicles chapter 25. First Chronicles chapter 25, it says David and the generals of the army, they set apart. Okay. They set apart men to serve in the house of God. Okay. So set apart. Everybody says set apart. Okay. That is the root meaning of the word Holy. Okay. It literally means to cut. That's what it is to cut. Now for you and I to understand how to live a life of holiness. We need to understand that God is Holy. Okay. It begins with the revelation of us knowing that God is Holy. Right. That means there is no one like him. There is no one like him. Right. If an alien came and asked me, okay, who are you? I can point my finger and say I am like them, a human being. Right. But there is no one that God can point his finger and say, I am like, because there is no one. He is Holy. He is God all by himself. Right. And to explain the holiness of God, it's like, let's say you take a diamond. Okay. And you lift it up to a light. Diamond is still finite. It's, it's tangible. You lift it up to a light and you turn it. And you see all these different colors popping up. Isn't it? You get what I'm saying?  Right. You lift it up to a light and you turn it. And there's so many facets to him. And there is no one like him. And this God, he calls us to be Holy. It's not like God. For us, we think, okay, living when we say God is Holy, it simply means, okay, he cannot lie. He cannot commit murder and stuff like that. We think holiness as just moral thing, morality. It's not just that. It's so much beyond that. Okay. Have we read from Romans, Numbers chapter 24 before? Numbers 24? Have you not? Okay. For some reason, I remember. Okay. And God takes holiness very seriously, guys.  So, I, sorry, sorry. Romans, why, why, why, why do I keep saying Romans? Numbers 25. Okay. Not 24. Numbers 25. I'm going to read it for us. Please pay attention with, okay. Because there's quite a lot to read. So, everybody's there now. Numbers 25. Okay. While Israel was staying in Shetem, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate and bowed down before these gods. So, Israel joined in worshiping the Baal of Piyor and the Lord's anger burnt against them. Okay. Let's pause. First line. It starts with saying Israel was staying in Shetem. Then the men began to indulge in, what is the indulge in? Talk to me, guys. Sexual immorality. Okay. But how did they end up there? It all started with worship, false worship, worshiping idols, the gods of the Moabites. Okay. So, be careful who you worship or what you worship. Okay. Let's move on. Verse 4. The Lord said to Moses, take all the leaders of these people who are sinning, kill them and expose them in broad daylight before the Lord so that the Lord's fierce anger may turn away from Israel. Let's come down to verse 6. Then an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance of the tent of meeting. Okay. So, what is happening in that verse? God's judgment wrath has been poured out. Right? Everybody is sinning. But in broad daylight, verse 6, an Israelite man brought to his family a Midianite woman in front of the leaders. I mean, there will come a time where sin is no longer done in secret. Sin is no longer done in the dark. In front of the leaders in broad daylight, he brings a Midianite woman. No. Listen to the next verse. Some of you think he just brought a woman. Verse 7. When Phinehaerus, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, the priest, when he saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand, and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear through both of them. He drove the spear through both of them at the same time.  I just want to pause. There was one commandment God gave Israelites when they were leaving from Egypt is, don't compromise with the ways of the Canaanites. When you get to the Promised Land, don't worship their gods. Don't follow their ways. What did the Israelites do? Exactly the opposite. Let me tell you the danger of flirting with sin.  Israelites compromised like we do. I've used this word, chalta hai attitude. Chalega. This movie has only one nude picture. It's okay, but the plot is nice. Are you seeing what I'm saying? It's just one puff. It's okay. Compromise. Chalta hai.  Are you with me? That's exactly what's happening. 25, by the way, if you study, this is a turning point chapter in the history of Israel. This chapter. It is in this chapter on where nobody from the old generation goes on to the new. God had to wait for an entire generation to be wiped off and only the new generation moves. This number is chapter 25. Let's move on. What he does is he kills. So there's no flirting with sin. You have to kill it. No compromising. No negotiating with skill. Verse 8. And follow the Israelite into the tent. He drove a spear through both of them, through the Israelite and into the woman's body. Then the plague against the Israelites stopped. For those who died in the plague, number 24,000. Verse 10. Listen to this. The story gets interesting.  For he was as zealous as I am for my honor among them. So that in my zeal, I did not put an end to them. Verse 12. Therefore, tell him, I am making my covenant of peace with him. He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites. I want to stop there, guys. God in this generation is looking for someone like Phineas. He's looking his way. Is there someone like Phineas who will burn with zeal for me? For my honor. In this day and age where sin is so open, broad daylight, it's not no longer done in secret. He's looking for a generation marked with holiness. Are you guys with me? Let's go to Numbers chapter 6. Actually, let's... You can turn to Numbers chapter 6, but I'm not going to read it from there. Numbers chapter 6 talks about a certain people called the Nazarites. Have you all heard of Nazarites before? It's not just someone who's coming from the land of Nazareth. It's not what it is. But Numbers 6 talks about something called the Nazarite vow. Nazarite vow. It's more like a fast. Modern-day word is fast. It's a Nazarite vow. What does it mean? Anybody from any tribe of Israel, from any 12 tribes, he can go before God and say, I want to make a Nazarite vow. That vow with a span would be for a minimum of one month. It can go on for as long as they want. During this period, they're not supposed to drink wine. During the period of this vow, they're not supposed to cut their hair. During this period, they're not supposed to go close to a dead body or touch a dead body. These are the people who were radically set apart. Who wanted to be set apart for God. Nazarites. Every time Israel needed a political deliverance or deliverance from other countries and whatnot, God raised up Nazarites. Can you think of some of them? Who were Nazarites for life? Samson. Samson did not have an option. He didn't choose to be Nazarite. He was born as a Nazarite. Who else? Samuel. Prophet Samuel. Do you remember God tells Ana, during the time of your pregnancy, you're not supposed to drink wine? Yeah? So, Prophet Samuel was a Nazarite for life. Samson was supposed to be a Nazarite for life. There's one more person. John the Baptist. John the Baptist. Again, during the time of his pregnancy, God tells them you're not supposed to drink wine and all of that, right? To his mother. So, what is it about the wine and cutting hair? Okay, if I have to live a Nazarite, life of Nazarite now, my hair won't grow even if I want to now. So, here's the thing. Wine, in their day and age, represented legal pleasure. Legal means what? It is allowed. You can have, you can drink wine. It was allowed, right? It's a legal pleasure, right? So, say if I want to make a Nazarite now, I ask myself, okay, what is it something that gives me legal pleasure? Chocolate, coffee, meat, non-vegetary, right? So, I say, okay, these are some of the things that gives me legal pleasure. And so, I'm going to say, God, I want you more than any of this. It's basically what Nazarite vow is. It's very simple. More than the things that I like, more than the things that gives me pleasure, you're saying I want you.  Oh, I'm giving up this. Coffee. On the other hand, you are getting God. It's, there has never been a better deal. It's, the deal is not even fair. Like, you're giving up chocolate and you're getting more of God, right? And that's what it is all about. You're saying, I want more of you, so I'm setting myself apart, right? And the Nazarites were not allowed to cut their hair, you know, during the period of the vow. It's simply to say, how long can they go or remain set apart? That's it.  But another thing was, they're not supposed to touch dead body or go near to the presence of the dead body. Symbolized sin, right? Wages of sin is death. So, like we just said, sin kills our spirit, isn't it? So, and this is, I can go back to 2011. I started studying about Nazarites in 2011. And that's when he, God gave this, he said, okay, Roshan, I want you to raise the generation of Nazarites. I had no idea what this is. What do you mean, God? And that's when I started studying about the Nazarites. And I mean, we're just radical people who live the life of holiness set apart for him, for God, right? John the Baptist, who was a Nazarite, was the forerunner. He went before Jesus. He prepared the way, isn't it? And the Bible says, right? He prepared the way for Jesus to come. And then Jesus said, I'm coming back again. I want a generation of Nazarites to go before me and prepare a way for me. And so, this life of living a life of holiness is not just, what do I say? It's not something in the rule book, you know, student handbook guideline or something. That's what we are called to live. We are called to live a life that is radically set apart. Who will just go to any extent because they want more of God? Those are the people who are Nazarites. And in Judges, I forget which chapter when they were going for war, okay? And I forget which chapter. I think they're just after five or not sure. It says, when they were going into battle, it says the Nazarites let their hair down. It's very cinematic, okay? It's like a movie scene there, okay? As they were entering into a battle, Nazarites let their hair down and God's anointing came over them and they destroyed chariots of iron. I think it was during the time of Deborah as a judge. Can you imagine that God's power is being released when you choose to be a vessel that is set apart for Him? Are you guys with me? Yeah? So lifestyle, a life of holiness and consecration. Don't compromise. Don't have this chaltahe attitude, okay?   All of you here in this room have a destiny.  The only thing that will kill is your sin and are you willing to compromise with that? Okay? It's dangerous. So lifestyle of worship. And the third thing, final thing is a life of obedience. Everybody say obedience. Life of obedience. So John chapter 14 was 15 and 21. 21 it says, he who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me. First Samuel chapter 15 verse 22 says, behold, to obey is better than sacrifice. Obedience is better than sacrifice, right? And it is salt disobedience that God was angry with, isn't it? So obedience is the language of intimacy. Intimacy again is into me you see, because I show you, right? If you want to be intimate with God, you just begin by obeying him. This is one person in the Bible that God says that he spoke with face to face. Moses, isn't it? In fact, okay, oops, we're running out of time. We're very quickly. Let's go to numbers chapter 12, because I want to read it. Numbers 12, first, first, first, first, first. Numbers chapter 12 verse three. Numbers 12 verse three says, now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth. Verse four, at once the Lord said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, come out of the tent of meeting all three of you. It's like calling to principal's office, no? Come out, no. So the three of them came out. Then the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud. He stood at the entrance of the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them stepped forward, God said, listen to my words. When a prophet of the Lord is among you, I reveal myself to him in visions. I speak to him in dreams, but this is not true of my servant, Moses. He is faithful in all my house.  He sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, Moses? This verse did a lot of things in my journey. It messed me up. Moses saw your face to face. He spoke with your face to face. I want that. I want that. I want that. I want it. If Moses can have it, I can have it. I mean, it messed me up, guys. What did Moses do so much that God loved him so much that he would speak with him, not just in visions and dreams, but he would speak with him face to face. In the Hebrew Bible, it's called Thanak. This verse, it simply means translated literally to English. It means it's so intimate. He spoke with him, say, says mouth to mouth. That means that so intimate as in clothes he was. And I kept wondering, what was it about Moses that God would speak with him face to face? And I wanted that. And the result of that is obedience. You know why? Come with me to Exodus chapter 40, the last chapter of Exodus. We will be done. We have three minutes. We'll be a little over time. We'll see two minutes, but I'm not going to read the whole chapter. Okay. I'll just call out certain verses and you can follow along with me. So Exodus chapter 40 verse one, it says, then the Lord said to Moses, underline that, okay, set up the tabernacle and the tent of meeting on the first day of the month. Okay. So the Lord said to Moses, the Lord said with me, he spoke. He commanded. He's telling something. Moses, go ahead and do that. My Bible, I have to turn the page. Okay. Verse 16. So until from verse one to verse 15, God is giving a bunch of commandments to Moses. Do this, do this, do this, do this, do this, do this, do this, do this. Verse 16. What does it say? Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded him. In other words, Moses obeyed. Are you with me? Okay. Verse 19. Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put covering over the tent as the Lord commanded. So that means Moses did as the Lord commanded. Verse 21. The last line, verse 21. Moses did as the Lord commanded him. Verse 23. Last line. He did that as the Lord commanded him. Are you with me? Verse 25. He set up the lamps before the Lord as the Lord commanded him. Verse 26. Sorry, 27. And burnt fragrance incense on it as the Lord commanded him. Verse 29. At the very end. He did all of that as the Lord commanded him. Verse 32. They washed wherever, whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar as the Lord commanded. Moses. Verse 33. Then Moses set up courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar and put the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work. So when Moses did everything that the Lord had commanded him. Everything. Then see what happens. Verse 34. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled upon it and the glory of the Lord. Filled the tabernacle. So when you obey him and when you do everything that the Lord commands you to do.  Are you with me? When you walk in obedience. The result and the fruit of the obedience is that you will begin to see the manifest presence of God. Display in your life. Right. Remember the first time Moses saw a burning bush. Isn't it? In that his God says go and bring my people. In the beginning it was just a burning bush. So Moses obeyed. Not easily but he obeyed. He went. When he comes back the whole mountain is on fire this time. So here's my point. My concluding point of the course. Every time you obey him. The next time when you see him, he always shows himself bigger in your life. Are you with me? When you obey him as a burning bush, the next time you see him, the whole mountain is on fire.  Are you with me? So lifestyle of worship, kindness, generous, life of holiness and life of obedience. Amen. Prabhu, thanks for sharing the scripture. So well, that's that. You have come to the end of this course. Everybody online, thank you all for joining. We will not have classes from the following week. This is just an FII for you all. Okay. So thank you all for joining and I hope there was something that you could learn in this course and it's helped you. God bless you. I will share your assignment details online. Okay. Take care guys. God bless you all. Bye-bye.


Hello, everybody, welcome to the session. Last parallel session of the day, so energy. I'm chairing the session. Karina is presenting. And the session is Working and Writing in the Presence of a Period in an Online Space, Facilitating Submissions to Achieve HAA Accreditation. Question mark at the end there. There it is. Scrolling across the screen from NASDAQ. We've got 20 minutes, same as the other parallel sessions. And then with around about five minutes to go, we'll have time for a bit of Q&A. So do comment, say hi, question throughout. In the text chat, I'll keep an eye on that and pick up on that at the end. But other than that, Karina, I'll hand over to you to present. Thank you. Lovely. Thanks, Dave, for the introduction. Hi, everyone. Thanks for joining me, joining us today in this nice, warm-wetted list here around Milton Keynes. I am presenting about this little scholarship project. So I want to thank the fastest scholarship of teaching and innovation in the Faculty of Arts and Social Science for providing us a small grant to conduct this little project. And my project partners are Malik and Paige, just to acknowledge their support and contributions. So what I have for us today, I give a little bit about the background and the rationale for the project. Why did we need to do this? About the project itself, some phases about the writing partnership, results so far, and the next steps. So you may have been with me, I was presenting at 2 o'clock, so I probably gave enough introduction about what a HEA fellowship is, so I'm not going to approach that part of it. But it is important to highlight where we are at, why we are here. It seems that the higher education sector has been driving the need of a HEA fellowship recognition as an indication of institutional excellence in teaching. So we all now have to do, from time to time, the TEF report and HEA fellowships are recognized there, are reported there.  We do have an institutional scheme, an internal scheme, which is fully online and accredited, which is called Aplaud. This is a short name for a very big, short acronym for a big name. But the problem is that Aplaud is a big scheme, support lots of candidates across lots of all our faculties and many units, because it's not only teaching, it's about our colleagues that support learning across the institution as well, so it's about supporting them. But because it is a large scheme and we have lots of candidates, we don't tailor support, unfortunately. We have several cohorts, three cohorts per year, and we deliver three workshops per cohort, and they go through some steps of the process. And that's it. So without this tailor support, some candidates don't finish, don't complete, postpone submission, or withdraw from the scheme. So we have been in contact with some faculties to then support us and provide, to provide that additional support if they can. And one of the faculties is supporting us through a small scholarship project. So they are looking into providing that further support, even to invest into this, which is fantastic. So in this one, this particular project I'm going to report today, it is about developing, helping these candidates to continue motivate and help each other in pairs within the same faculty remotely. Like I said, about the project, what is this about? So it's about helping colleagues to complete and achieve their fellowship. It is about pairing them within the same faculty because it's much easier and the project is funded by that faculty. So it's about providing them that additional support and structure to work in pairs. This work is underpinned by existing research on academic writing groups and commitment to others to work. Particularly, we're working with an accountability partner. Apparently, it suggests that working in a social presence of others, increased motivation, persistent and successful completion. So we were really excited by the existing literature to do this project. It is an 18-month project and involves two cohorts. So one has finished, that's why we are presenting some of the data today. And another one has started on the 1st of August. And we will run an evaluation after that. So after the two of them finished, so we then run a full evaluation of the project to get things going and see capture progress and their feedback, candidates feedback on the project and how we can improve phases. So this is about pairing colleagues. So it's about pairing two, preferably two, colleagues from the same faculty to work on their applications. And we divided the process in three phases. One is about familiarization, get familiar with the paperwork that is required. Because if you don't know, to apply for a HTA fellowship requires some paperwork, some understanding of the UK PSF and develop your case around those standards and framework. We as a scheme have also our own paperwork and requirements. So it's important that candidates are familiar with the bigger picture, with the process itself. The second phase is about to get it written. That's the hard part. Is to make time, carve time to actually write. And we all have this problem not only for fellowship but for any of the writing. We needed to do because we are very busy. And then the final phase is about finishing off. So about editing, references, sanity, the mentors to have a look and provide feedback. But I really wanted to focus on phase two, because it is challenging. So and I found that this picture really tells the story of the challenge that can be to get started with our writing. It's not always easy. And that's why we decided to develop this little project. And in particular, to develop this little structure for to help colleagues to write. So at this point, colleagues will be already paid. So they attend information session who are interested. So we invite everybody from the faculty to attend a session.  And ask who would like to get engaged. Then we pay them or they pay themselves during the session, the information session, because it's very informal. And they sometimes get to know each other. Or sometimes they already know each other from the same faculty. So then we pair these candidates. And these candidates then receive an information pack that includes this structure. And this structure is the foundation of the pairing writing groups. So we ask them to buy by the time they start, they need to be connected together. So they sit down for 10, 15 minutes to prepare and unload, to make a commitment even, to get to know each other sometimes, develop a rapport, and then have the sprint, 20 minutes for writing, to sit and write the sprint. Then after the 20 minutes finish, then we ask them to spend five to 10 minutes to reflect, share their progress and motivate each other and continue for another 20 minutes. So after maybe two sessions of 20 minutes with five minutes in the middle, maybe you have a longer break. So this approach, it's not new. So you may be familiar with the Pomodoro approach or write right now approach. So this is a mix of these two to fit our colleagues in this particular program. So together with the information packed and with the documents we sent to them, we also give some tips of how they can, they can get ready for this. So we ask them to arrange a meeting and book in their calendars and really enter that in their calendars. We ask candidates to pick a day and time wisely that really suits them. For example, it wouldn't suit me if I pick on Monday because Monday morning mostly is a day where I deal with paperwork, emails, admin, so that wouldn't work for me. So be strategic on the day that is really suitable for you. Give this meeting the same respect as any other commitment in your work calendar. We tend, a lot of us, not all, but a lot of us and I am guilt of that too. My things, our things can always wait. We prioritize everything else, but my promotion or my paper or my claim for HAA fellowship can wait while other things come. I've done many times this with study leave, for example. So yes, and they will be running against a timeframe, a deadline. So we ask candidates to really commit to the calendar, to the book, to the calendar commitment they made. Agree on what you are going to do with your partner and set the 20-minute timer. It's available as an app. So if you look for a Pomodoro approach, Pomodoro app, Pomodoro timer, you will find as an app and can help you to keep on time, including the five minutes break. So I use it, I use it for some of my tasks as well. So mute any distractions like email. So turn your emails off, right with the mic muted. So by then they will be in a meeting, like a Teams meeting or a Skype for business or Zoom meeting. So they will be in the presence of each other online, but in their own home, as we do now. And we ask them to mute the microphone and even sometimes to turn off the camera. But be there and then once the time finishes, the 20-minute finishes, then they turn on the camera and the microphone and have a chat and a reflection. So because the social presence matters, it's very important, is your accountability. Keep each other on the meeting agenda because some of them in their value, in the little questionnaire we sent to them, some of them said that they actually, some didn't even talked about their claim. They were just like, it was just nice to catch up, which is good because a lot of our colleagues now, mostly now because of the pandemic, are disconnected from each other. So it is important, it was for them, important to catch up and share practice. It's still valid by sharing practice, but the intention was to get the results and bring your necessary supplies. Chocolates, coffee, water is always good to have with you. These are real needs. Results so far. We, in the previous cohorts, 17 colleagues from this faculty were registered for the scheme, four joined formally and two informally. Yes, it was a small number of people. All who joined the trial submitted their application. We were very pleased, but we were even happier when all were successful. So this was really good, a good result from the first way we were trialing this. It is, is this evidence that this works? Probably not. It's this evidence that their reputation, absolutely yes. So absolutely yes, has petitioned to help people to keep on track, motivate, submit and even be successful. More results, so we have asked them if they think the writing with a partner has helped them to progress the application and some of them said that it did considerably help them. So we were happy with that, but again, numbers are not big, but it's promising. There has been impact and this one is beyond the completion of application and being successful. The person said there is a huge element here of sharing good practice, swapping ideas and learning from the ways different subject areas work, because even though they were from the same faculty, they were in different schools and different disciplines. So it was really good way to communicate a good practice across colleagues. So that's it from me. Thank you. If you have any questions you can send to the team or you can look for me. My contact details are also on the website and the conference website. So happy to share these slides and continue this conversation. I'm stopped sharing here. Dave, I, that's all from me, but would like to hear from colleagues too. Yeah, lovely. Thanks for that. Thanks for running to time. It's pretty quiet in Chatland. I think everybody's really, really hot. It's 28 degrees here. It is hot. Which would be so fine if it was like mid-August or late July, but it's just confusing. So, I want to ask... And we were on holidays in a beach, for example. Not here. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's not the ideal scenario for... No. Look, so if people do have any questions, do post them to the chat now. But I want to ask about how people, if you've got any information on how people responded to the kind of actual moment of sort of co-writing and whether they found that, I mean, it's something that I quite enjoy because if I know there's somebody in that space with me then I'm more likely to concentrate and do some actual work. Did people find that the actual being in the same space together and editing each other's words or whatever, did they find that easy to do or strange or pressured? I mean, obviously it must have been a success if you got everybody through because we run HAA fellowship scheme at my institution and a lot of people find it very difficult to crack on and do it. It's quite an iterative process. So how do people find the sort of practice of co-writing online?  No, I've joined a writing retreat this year and the facilitator just ran this. It was the Pomodoro approach all the time for the whole morning, three mornings in a row. And we were all writing different things but the commitment of being there and feeling like, oh, I needed to produce something, it's quite something. So there is a lot of pressure there. So I just wonder if colleagues have joined writing retreats online. Yeah, it's not something that I've done that for me. It's always just being with colleagues but it's worked pretty well. I guess what it is is that as soon as you know that there's somebody in that sort of shared document with you and you're chatting to them, then you kind of up your game, don't you? Concentrate a little bit more, you get a little bit. I mean, I know you've got that kind of, what's it called, the Pomor, I can never pronounce it. Pomodoro, it's like a pizza. Okay, so you've got the pizza technique because I think there's a string to that because you're switching off distractions, aren't you? You've got this inherent sort of structure. But so I can understand how that helps with focus. I mean, I'll find any excuse not to write. It's one of the reasons that I haven't published that much. So, but I think, I mean, I guess that that must be working that kind of accountability to somebody else that's very iterative and very in the moment. Yeah, yeah. Oh, thanks. So we've had a comment here. Yeah, it is good for time management overall, isn't it? Yes. I don't think I'd ever stick to it though. There's a comment from Coco there. Yes. Oh, okay, rogue in a rogue way, which I read as a rouge way, which was strange for a second. Yeah, I don't know. Is it rogue or is it just helpful? I think one of the things that we've started to get good at over the pandemic is find ways to be co-present and to co-work whilst not being physically co-located. You don't actually have to be in the same room to be in the same place, if you see what I mean. So I'm a big fan of these kind of methods that actually, because my feeling is as soon as there's two people in a shared document, the document changes from a tool to a space or a place. And certainly the most enjoyable moments of work that I've had over the pandemic have been working in, like shared documents or shared padlets or shared Myro or mural spaces. Yes, yeah. Karla has also said that, now I've just, before I comment on Karla's Coco, yes. So if you can find a colleague, if you can find a colleague that also are going into, are interested in their senior fellow, try this method, even if it is just in the beginning, it really helps to focus. And because it's about your practice, you can really just write. You don't have to do it. You will need references eventually. You will need a reference to back your scholarship. But because it's your practice and you can dump a lot of ideas down. We don't much worried about typing and errors and anything. So if you can dump as much as you can 20 minutes and then check again on them, on each other, it probably, it could help. It could help, you never know. It has helped some people. And we have even a bigger group now engaged in the new cohort. Karla has mentioned about a PhD writing retreat that is done online. Thanks, Karla, for sharing that. Again, time is lots distracted because when we are online, when we are at a distance, so we can get lost, we can get distracted, we are very busy. So it's good, we can get lost. Well, we can, there is so much work, we can get lost. So, but we can then focus on a task for a period of time because as you know, that you will be contacting your colleague or then you will regroup with the retreat people, for example, and then have to talk about your progress. But also because you wanted to do something productive. You wanted to use that time in a productive way. Well, there's something really interesting about this that's just struck me looking at the discussion because coming from the University of Arts London, I think what it is is it's a form of creative anxiety. It's like the distress of the blank page, isn't it? And one of the things that people do in life drawing is they force you to do very, very, very quick drawings. So they'll say you've got 30 seconds to do a drawing or a minute to do a drawing because sometimes it's better to just put something down than nothing down. And I can see how the co-writing and the accountability to come back and talk because it's worse to have nothing to talk about when you come back than it is to have something that's not quite right to talk about, isn't it? And you know, we do the same for our students all the time. We kind of, we encourage our students to say, hey, show us your work in progress. Let's discuss it. Truth is, it's really hard. It's quite distressing. And actually you need a bit of a structure around that to help you to do that. But I think any of these processes, especially around writing, are really, really useful if they encourage you just to get started because any writing process is draft and edit and edit and edit and edit. And once I learned that even the most brilliant writers don't get it right first time, but they draft and edit and edit and edit and edit, I thought, oh, maybe I can do this. Yes. So I think for me, just, I think for me it would be really useful if we saw writing as a creative practice rather than as an academic practice, it's both because then you wouldn't feel quite so weird about being anxious about it.  But when we open up a blank word document apparently, that's not a big deal. I think it's a big deal. I think it's the same, you know. And Adebsi, is that my correct spelling your name? Pronounce your name, Adebsi, Adebsi. Anyway, we don't feel bad. We all make excuses like Dave was saying for not writing. So we all make an excuse. And when I block time for study leave, for example, something else comes up, dang, I'm doing something. So it's always easier not to write, isn't it? It's always easier not to write. But yeah, we are under a lot of pressure. And but this type of, that's why it's key to get a partner in the same level, like for example, the fellowship. It's good to get a partner because you are not going to show this. It's not the final product. It's really some ideas down. And by having someone appear, it really helps you to reflect on what you did. And sometimes talk about our teaching practice in this case, but any other work, talking about our work really helps us to reflect. Reflect on what we've done and what can be added and maybe it doesn't need to be added. And get some ideas down. It does help. It does, I use it. I use it from time to time, not just for writing. When to get my to-do list ticked, I get, okay, 20 minutes for this task. I'm going to, it's like someone else mentioned here in the chat box for time management in general. It's good. Great, okay. Well, thank you for that. Thanks and thanks for the contributions in the chat from people. And thank you for bringing that, that will be precise presentation that you did in just under 20 minutes. So you must have got into the habit. We better wrap up there. I have my Pomodoro on. Yeah, there it is, there it is. We better wrap up there so that we've got time to take a little break before the keynote starts for, but great to see people. And yeah, thanks very much. Cheers all. Thanks everyone. Thanks Dave for sharing. Thanks everyone for your contributions.


Before we close this module, let us take a look at all that we have covered. We travelled a rather long and winding road and dug around a bit in the history of ethnography, finding its parent disciplines of sociology and anthropology. We learnt about the origins of ethnography from the early travellers to the modern disciplines of sociology and anthropology and the influences of these disciplines on contemporary principles of ethnographic research. We looked into some of the fundamental ideas that form ethnographic research, the idea of the other and the relationship between the other and the self, empathy and meaning. We also discussed some complex questions that emerge from these fundamentals. The subjectivity of the researcher, the power dynamic between the researcher and the participant, the challenges of establishing empathetic relationships and the difference between a single objective truth and many subjective realities. In our exploration of the concept of reality, we understood how reality is multiple and complex in nature and how it is constructed by the context and multiple subjectivities. Through all of this, we came to see the importance of understanding the other. To design products and services that fit their needs and their words, we need to develop an empathetic and immersive understanding of their context. But how do we go about this engagement? Are there processes or even best practices? What are the ways in which people have worked with it? And what do we hope to learn through our engagements anyway? To answer these questions, we need to unpack ethnography a little more. We have just about touched the tip of the iceberg and now need to engage with it at a deeper level. We need to see the various dimensions of the method to understand its process. This is what we will discuss in the next module.


The Atojara of Ushobo Obajimo Uyetunji has announced August 2 as the commencement date of the two-week Oshon Ushobo Festival and the other activities lined up to mark the event. A statement by Toye Arulogun, the managing consultant for the festival on Monday in Ibado, quoted the traditional ruler as announcing that the festival will commence with the traditional cleansing of the town. The festival is organized as the annual sacrifice to the Oshon River Goddess, a 600-year-old international heritage.


And with this, we wrap up our module on preparing for fieldwork. We know now what we want to research about, what our research question is, why are we doing the research, and what purpose it will serve. We also have an idea about how to go about the research, the people we wish to engage with, the places and activities we want to observe. We have prepared, outlined, and defined the research tools and methods we will be using. We have some knowledge about the context and about the subject and the culture we are about to engage with. And now, we are ready to learn more from our participants and the context that they occupy. We are as ready as we can be. In our next module, we will focus on how to engage with our participants and build relationships with them, how to immerse ourselves in their context and what this even means, and how to learn from the field. Join us as we go further on this journey of learning and understanding the other.

Engineers, search and rescue experts and emergency managers all agree that the best way to protect yourself during an earthquake is to practice the drop cover and hold on method during an earthquake once you feel the ground starting to shake. You need to drop cover and hold on until the shaking stops and then once the shaking stops do your best to count to 60 because there's a very good chance that there could be an even stronger jolt that could come and once you let go and get out from underneath the the sturdy piece of furniture there's a real chance that things can fall on you and that is the most likely way that people are hurt or killed during earthquakes in developed countries. During shakeout millions of people participate in the same drill at the same time all practicing the drop cover and hold on safety technique.


Hi, I'm Brian, this is the buff for Auditor and Trademark, right now I'm the only wealth, we have two Auditor members here, Martin is here and myself, is everyone familiar with Auditor team's role in Debian, so basically you can think of like the controllers for the project, keeping track of assets and both financial and non-tangible assets. I got involved because I'm also involved in the trademark team and was tracking down domain names and trademarks and they kind of fed in to join the Auditor team. You can read on the screen some of the tasks were responsible for. So one of the things, the delegation actually was from ZAK in 2010, one of the things that ZAK envisioned at this point was, it doesn't work, did it work? So one of the things that ZAK envisioned at the time was public reports and regular basis about Debian financial status, we are clearly not there yet, the delegation even said that the reporting frequency we are looking for is monthly. But yeah, that's basically the long-term goal would be to be able to have monthly reporting which means that most of the work should be mostly automated, that's clearly not what we have now. Sorry, from my point of view, I think that one thing that's where we have quite a lot of work to do is structuring communications with our trusted organizations. So we have four plus one trusted organizations currently, plus one is Debian CH which is not a trusted organization. By 29th of August, did you promise that progress should be made on that? Yes, I think there's a lot of work to do on improving the way we talk to TOs in terms of protocols. Okay, so we've put together a list of what we're currently working on. So currently the Debian donations page is a little convoluted to actually get to make a donation. It involves a number of clicks, there's an open bug on that. That's on my to-do list. If anybody wants to help, I'd welcome help. So this is a larger, the next one if you look on line 26, rationalized Debian's approach to donations, hardware donations, partners, sponsorship. Right now it's all kind of separate things and we recognize our partners and sponsors separately within contextually. There's no kind of umbrella of this organization is backing Debian no matter how they're doing it. So we don't have that yet and I think it would be long-term a good approach to working with third parties. And the next bullet kind of ties into that as well. It's kind of like coordinate how we talk with our sponsors, have a more coordinated fundraising efforts. So another action in this kind of ties in with making donations easier is working with SPI to enable donations via PayPal. There was a long discussion late last year with SPI members and it was kind of agreed that if we follow a certain set of conditions that they'd be okay if you know SPI could enable PayPal donations for member organizations. One of the things we wanted is a little more control over that process. So we would be having a separate bank account tied to a PayPal sub-account and things like that. But that's going to take some work doing. The royalty scheme, could you talk about that? Yeah, so that's an editor who published a Debian book and they're interested in setting up a royalty scheme. Actually what they asked for is a mention of the book on the Debian website which we already offer to all books about Debian. And based on, well, if we do that, which is easy to do, they agree to give a small percentage of revenue from the book. But that's really small percentage. So we have documents to fill about that. I don't think that's particularly urgent, but still if someone should do it at some point. The last point is actually linked. Well, you can talk about cryptocurrencies. You were the one doing it. Okay, so we were kind of, at some point we were wondering if it would be legal to accept cryptocurrency donations or if it is legal how to go about it. And we talked to SFLC who's our legal advisors through SPI. And originally they kind of didn't get back to us, but it looks like the laws have been clarified in the United States at least over the past year. And they're like, yeah, go for it. No big deal. So we're kind of, I don't prioritize it as highly as like say PayPal or other things, but it would be nice to be able to accept Bitcoin and perhaps other cryptocurrency donations. But we still have to sort out how logistically we want to do it. Do we want to work with third party payment processor? Do we want to accept the donations directly? Do we want to have a rule that as soon as they come in, they're converted into some sort of fiat, things like that. I don't want to get too caught up on this particular bullet because I think it is not going to make up a substantial amount of Debian revenue. So, but I think it's okay to look at it. So, I'll go on. So actually the to-do list was split into incoming is getting money in outgoing, improving our way to spend money and then status, I think. So, this is a, if you want to talk about these two bullets. Yeah, so Debian uses several trusted organizations to handle our funds. So we have different reimbursement procedures depending on the trusted organization. The goal of this item is to streamline all of it, document all people should proceed to request reimbursements because it tends to work quite well, but it's a bit ad hoc and sometimes there are reimbursement requests that just get lost and then, well, the person needs to ping again after some time to get reimbursed. And that's not really nice, especially when it's a high large amount of money involved. Great. So, the second item is about, we have a Debian Visa card provided by SPI. It was initially created because we needed to open an account on Amazon Web Services. The problem is the way the type of card it is apparently is not accepted by Amazon. I'm not sure of the details. I think it was a refillable card. I think that was the issue. That's something we don't have in Europe. So, we need to probably to speak with, we should talk to SPI people about it to see if it's possible to get another card because DSA, for example, is very interested in being able to spend money using a credit card because currently DSA members have to pay themselves and then get reimbursed. They do that all the time. So, yes, we need to find a solution either improve on the SPI Visa card or find another solution to get a credit card using possibly another trusted organization. If Debian CH is interested. Well, we already have the PayPal account. The actual PayPal account. Yeah, but you cannot really pay for hardware using PayPal. So, I just want to take a break. Does anybody have any questions about what we've gone over so far? Yeah, let's make this a discussion. Yeah, currently when looking at the donations page, www.debian.org, it says donation via a software and public interest and not donation via any of the trusted organizations. That's one of the issues. Yeah, but I think we should more streamline that website to show that it's not only possible to donate via SPI, but through all of the trusted organizations. That's one issue. And the other one I would like to... Currently, the donations are not shown on the webpage. Historically, there was some discussion about, well, if a student comes and buys two terabyte disks, that's probably quite much for a student to pay, but compared to that, it's nothing for a company to pay. I would like to establish some certain donation levels so that we can make it way more visible to the public who donated how much money, because that will probably also attract quite a lot of donors, big companies to donate money to the Debian project. Are you interested in working on that yourself? I mean, that's a big problem with everything auditor-related, that it's not something that is of interest to many Debian contributors. So clearly are under power. But if you're interested in working on that, yeah. Probably reason should just agree on some sponsorship levels and then just set it up, I think. For example, if you look at the Free Beals Defundation webpage, it has a quite nice, good overview, even down to five US dollar donations to who donated how much money. And once we agreed on those sponsorship levels, we should just make that page. Who would be making that page? Well, I would be willing to help with my web team. Then there's a problem of automatically getting informed of donations to update the page, and you don't want to do it manually for five dollars donation because it means doing it on a daily basis almost. Feel free to... Maybe we should write things down during the... Yeah, but I'm standing. Okay, I can put it in... Did you? You have a secret. Okay, so let me just add a section at the bottom right here. Updates from DC14. Donations page. Where did I miss that up now? Donations page. Add other TOs. Just to give an idea, there have been about 200 credit card donations since the beginning of 2014. So it's really about daily updates. So one of the things, when I talked about the streamlining earlier, it is unrelated to the SPI thing where it sends you to the page that has the big list of all the SPI projects. We went away where you just have a form, you select an amount or fill an amount and click donate, and it does it... SPI does work with a third-party payment processor that can support it, but it's another default one. And we also want to add a couple of options for payment processors. But that can come there. So where are we? Status? Yeah. So I can talk about that. So from my point of view, it's actually quite hard to make decisions about the use of Debian funds because we have no global overview of Debian finances, especially over time. I've been working on... I've not finished, but I have two days to finish it before my talk on Thursday, so I'm confident I will be able to present things. So I'm not really going to present results yet, but at least this is mostly done from my point of view. It's not really about strictly doing accounting of what went through, but at least I have an idea of what's going on taking a step back. The second item is we now have a list of criteria for trusted organizations. Four trusted organizations went through the process of answering the questions and were approved. Debian CH is missing. DDA is working on that. Yeah. It doesn't help. Yeah. Then the following action item... Well, related to... I mean, after the TO evaluation, the next thing to work on is actually making sure that we have all we need in terms of remote access to account. For example, for FIS, we have a really nice web page to list everything going on. For SPI, we don't have that. For Debian CH, we don't know if we will get that for Debian and France as well. So that's really something to clarify. Yeah. Also related to that, we need to document the list of trusted organizations. That's easy. It's just about website updates, but it seems to be done. It currently is documented in the Wiki, but he's talking about putting it in... Yeah, something similar to the Debian organization page, at least all delegation. Okay, sure. I guess the changes of me being a member of the auditor team is relatively new. The delegation is... Me and Philip are not part of the delegation yet. That's all that is about. Yeah, it's also about thinking about what's really the role of the auditor team, because it might have evolved a bit since the original delegation. It's not really auditors anymore. Yeah. It's not really auditors anymore. It's more money-managing, whatever. It's not an external point of view, just to verify that things are, which I think is what the auditor word means, but maybe I'm wrong. Bookkeeping. Bookkeeping, yeah. Treasure. The monitor. So who actually makes the policy decisions about what companies to accept money from, whether to use any particular PayPal, for example, as a conduit for the money, is that done by this group, or is it done by another group and you're simply acting as an auditing organism? So the DPL is in charge of making the policy decisions about how to spend and accept money together with... Well, I use the auditor as an advisory board. There are some constraints coming from trusted organizations. Status of the trusted organization. Not every TO can accept every kind of money, for example, but we need to be careful about that. So I've been caught a lot of discussions in the US, which I admit I haven't followed in deep detail about organizations like SPI risking losing their non-profit status. So, yeah. We need to be careful about these kinds of things. I'll just add a point about that. We've had quite heated discussions last year with StepCon sponsoring about from whom we can accept money. And there was one discussion about an evil tobacco company. And basically, I think the baseline we finally agreed upon is that money is money. With one caveat. If you're willing to work on it and accept the money, we probably won't. I think you've just answered my question. If the policy decision is money is money, then you're telling me what the rule of thumb is. That's of some concern to me, but maybe I'm in the wrong DOF. Well, also money can have no strings attached. Other than what we offer as sponsorship benefits for any other questions? How are we dealing with big money donations where the donator does not want to be listed? Currently, it's not a problem. I think that a donator should have the option of not being listed. We had quite... So digging through credit card donations history, we had some surprising donations from people that I didn't know them. Because the auditor and auditor's team and the DPL get notifications of credit card donations, so they are aware of who is donating. I can add there has been a history of anonymous donations in the past, but not very large ones. They typically are dealt with a case-by-case basis. So, trademark? Yeah, basically, there's two books in one. The first half is about auditor. So if I have no other questions, we can move to trademark or comments. Okay. So I'm also on the trademark team. The other two members of the trademark team are not here, unfortunately, but we'll just... The Debian wordmark is a registered trademark in the United States, and it's also extended to international coverage through the Madrid protocol in... I'm going to have to say this from memory, but the... Basically, the Europe... Can you build this in Japan? Sure. I think Japan, China, and the UK are the other three. EU... Yeah, EU, full coverage. Okay. Yeah. So currently, our job is basically... Any questions about the trademark? Debian itself? We field email questions. Typically, the questions are, hey, can I use your trademark to say Debian is cool? Anything like that. A lot of the trademarks are covered under existing trademark policy under what is allowed. There's a section of what is allowed, what isn't allowed. We have a fairly liberal trademark policy that allows people to make t-shirts, hats, whatever paraphernalia they want with Debian branded. You can use it in fair use. Debian is an operating system based on a Linux kernel, blah, blah, blah. However, I do not... And it's pretty much what isn't allowed. If I recall, the main thing that isn't allowed is you can't use Debian in your domain name. And we are formulating... One of our to-do lists is to define policies for handling these domain names. We kind of have some working on some informal rules of thumbs of how to handle... Basically, if it's not allowed, you have to ask. So that's what the policy says. But when people ask, we're still sorting out what the answers are. Like, if it's Debian dot whatever, do we even allow those to be held by anybody but a trusted organization of Debian? We have approved certain things like Debian fan... Not literally, but Debian fan club Europe.com or something like that. There's some conditions that go with it. You have to agree that this is a limited license and you have to display the SPI... That SPI owns the trademark and things like that. But if you're... If you have any... Currently, the... Oh, so in a recent achievement, we do have the logo under registration domestically in the United States. There's some further work that needs to be done there before we can go for Madrid protocol protection. But do you understand that because it is a somewhat well-known mark, we do have common law protection in most jurisdictions that recognize Madrid protocol. So... Right now, the trademark team is an informal team reporting to the DPL. It has not been delegated and that's one of our action items. And then this was... The inbound trademark policy involved how do we deal with third-party trademarks like Mozilla and Apache and other things like that. And so that has been on the trademark teams played, but it's recently been asked if we'd look at it. So... Any questions? So currently looking at the Vipo website, that's China, European Union, UK and Japan. But I think there are also other... Well, there are other countries especially in the Asian region which is currently quite evolving what free software is about. So... Would it make sense to extend the Madrid protocol to those countries as well, if possible? And... I don't know how many Asian countries are covered by the Madrid protocol. I mean, I know Japan and China, but I don't know how many others. So the answer is perhaps... I believe that you could come to the trademark team with a proposal for a particular country with a case that we should extend our trademark there and we would kind of make our recommendation to the Debian project leader whether or not we felt it made sense. So... I mean, there's cost benefits, things like that, yeah. The other thing about domain names let's go back to... There's also all the Debian.something domain names. Currently, we deal with them on a hard dog basis. We don't really have rules about what to do with them. Basically, what we do is when we get the chance to to get back Debian.tld domain for major tld which we make what's necessary to get it but then the definition of major is a bit blurry and we cannot clearly, I'm not interested in getting all of them. That would be a waste of money. We were quite aggressive about Debian.eu The fact was that the Debian.eu domain was pointing to a Microsoft hosting website from a domain grabber so DSA at one point I think talked to Stefano told him about and he informed the trademark team and the trademark team asked SPI to help handling that request together with the software freedom law center who then wrote several letters to the domain grabber and in the end we tried to get there for the EU domain there is some sort of council where you can bring up trademark issues but the fee for handling via this office was higher than just giving the amount of money the domain grabber wanted in the end. So I read that discussion and clearly we don't want to go through that process for every minor GLD just be crazy Also the other related question is what to do with those domains currently they point to the Debian website Do we want to use them for local groups? In some cases if the group is clearly recognized as a local Debian representative group for example Debian.ch is one example where the GLD domain is not owned by OTO yet I mean Debian.ch is going to become a trusted organization but it could be different What do we do about websites? It's becoming kind of the running joke but it's useful to mention that Debian.ch is de facto already a TO because it's doing reimbursements in the name of Debian for some people so we will do this procedure but share it all I'm one voice of many but I personally believe that all Debian.star domains that we care about should be owned by TOs or held by TOs Descending opinions welcome And if you are owner of a Debian.ch whatever TLD domain and want the TO to hold speak up to the DPL or to the trademark team and we encourage you to move your Debian.ch whatever domain under SPI or FFIS or Debian France Any other questions? I think we can wrap Oh I just want to add my wife Marianne has agreed to attend this buff and she's been practicing US trademark for 25 years so if you have any actual trademark questions that are beyond Debian and they're just generic law questions she'd be happy to answer them Okay Thank you for attending


Thank you so much. It's a pleasure being here. Thank you James for inviting me to give this talk. So today I'm going to focus more on the process base rather than a lot of modeling because there are other talks during this conference. So what I have here is some research that we are doing in South America. So we are going to go from a cold region to a little bit tropical region. It's in Peru. Here, so since we are going to talk about morphodynamics, let me show you what kind of morphodynamic plan for features that we have in the Amazon region. So just to locate yourself, this is the Maranjon River and this is the Ukayali River and this is the Amazon River where it's born in a city called Nauta. Nauta is somewhere here. So and one of the largest cities in Peru is called Iquitos, which is right there. So basically, my point of, let's say, that my field study is in this region for now. So the Maranjon River is an abranching channel. As you can see here, well there is also the Amazon River that is an abranching channel. So basically what is an abranching channel or the system is when you have a main channel with additional secondary channels, which is kind of different from a truly meandering channel which only has one single channel. So the dynamics are different and we have shown that the dynamics of the meandering channels are more, let's say, the rate of migration are higher than the abranching systems. So but these two systems coexist in the same region. So I have to show this visualization, one of the best that I have seen, just to illustrate how a meandering channel evolves. So you have a flat plane and then you have a single thread channel that migrates, depending on the morphoenamic and hydroenamic condition, it will migrate in hundreds or thousands of years. So what is interesting from this illustration is that the meandering channels migrate and then they have to cut themselves. Basically the cutouts will happen in order to have kind of dynamic equilibrium. So this river itself, if there is no change in the tectonics or geological settings or anything, this river will try to get a dynamic equilibrium condition. So let me show you what I think is a conceptual model for a bend that is going to migrate. So we have, this is a plan for view, one ab and c2, and this is the profile view. So basically, let's assume that this initial channel is under equilibrium condition. So basically the slope that you see here is under equilibrium condition. So if the river starts to migrate, let's say in these two bends, ab and bc, start to migrate, what is going to happen is that the distance between ab and b, of course, is going to be longer. So you will have a reduced reduction in the slope, same for bc here. So what is going to happen is, well, c2 is the same because nothing has migrated. Let's assume that nothing has migrated. So we have now difference in the slope of the meandering setting. So we have an initial equilibrium condition that right now we have a different equilibrium condition, so a different stage. So basically the question is how the river will try to go back to this equilibrium condition. If there is no increase in sediment transport here, let's say there is no more load of sediment, either suspended or bed low, this will take a long time to reach, let's say, to deposit all these flat planes and get a parallel slope to the initial condition. However, so basically what we have here is a depositional system. However, if we go back and illustrate the conceptual model for a cutoff, again, 1, ab and 2, so let's assume that this setting is also under equilibrium condition, this is the slope here. So if a and b are, there is a cutoff here, a bend is, let's say, abandoning this area, it's abandoning this ridge. So what is going to happen is that b will be closer to a, so basically you have an increase on the slope. From b to 2 is the same slope, so it's parallel to the blue line, to the original blue line. So the question is how the river now goes, try to go back to the equilibrium condition. So in this case it's much easier because if let's assume that the dash yellow line is the equilibrium condition that is going to try to reach the river. So in this case, what is going to happen, you will have a wave, an erosional wave going, traveling farther upstream and a depositional wave traveling farther downstream. So by the combination of these very simplified conceptual models, a bend migration and a cutoff, you will have, let's say, the equilibrium condition that any river might do. So if we see large systems like the Ukayali River, this is the tributary, one of the main tributaries of the Amazon River. Remember the Ukayali and the Maranjon form the Amazon River. So this is the Ukayali, farther upstream from the confluence. But you can see here, this is a picture from 1975, 96 and 2010. 1975, you can see that there is a bend here, bend one, two, and there are three and more or less four. In 1996, you don't have these bends. So basically this system, at least in this area, is developing more erosional, let's say, waves traveling upstream and the depositional wave traveling downstream. Again, erosional waves will do is, what will do is produce a straightening of the ridge. And you can see here, the ridge, at least in this area, is more like a straight channel. However, somewhere in 1998, you have here the kind of a complex bend, let's say, three consecutive bends that was cut here. You can see in 2010, this bend does not exist anymore. So you have a huge cutoff here. So again, if you have a cutoff upstream, you will have an erosional process straightening of the channel. And you can see here, you have a meander channel here. And in 2010, due to this cutoff of this bend, that is downstream, you don't have, I mean, you are reducing the sinuosity or the amplitude of this bend. So now, at least in this area, the process is more erosional. But I show you from 1975 to at least 2000 to 1996, this whole area was going under erosional, more cutoffs. And look here now in 2010, the river is trying to go back to the equilibrium condition by migrating or increasing the rate of migration. So basically, the amplitude of these bends here are increasing. So by this combination of cutoffs and migration, the river will try to reach again the equilibrium condition. And if we perform, let's say, a power spectrum analysis based on the channel centerline, you can see that for the Ucayali River in this area, it's around 25 kilometers, the wavelength, the dominant wavelength, given the sinuosity of the channel 1.7. So what we did this year is we went to this area that is near Pucalpa. It's a big city there in the Peruvian Amazon area. And we have done single beam measurements. So basically, we get the bathymetry in this area right here. It's around 25 to 30 kilometers long. The channel width is somewhere 800 meters. And you can see here the solutions, basically the measurements. You have the positional region at the inner bank, erosional region in the outer bank here, the blue color. So basically here, the coloring are showing pink are, let's say, the positional areas and blue are erosional areas. So this is a typical configuration for a meander. You can see here also downstream the position and erosion in the outer bank. So the key question here is, these large systems, as you can see, they have the old traces. I mean, these were abandoned channels. This whole system has small channels that are connecting these large channels. So now the city that is located there, it has more population. And the linkage between the city, the population, people and the river, it's stronger now. Why? Because they all depend on the commerce based on the river, if they can navigate. And also they depend on all the water intake and outflows into the river. So they are, let's say, concerned about if the river will migrate and get away from the city of Pukalpa. So that's what we were trying to do here, understand the dynamics of the Yucayeli River near the city. First we did some matematric measurements. And then we have done this ADCP measurements. We have done every, we have several cross sections in this area. And this is just one of them near the city here. You can see outside of this bend. And you can see that the velocities are higher in the outer bank. These are depth average velocities. And this is the cross sectional section here, the cross section here showing again also in the water column where you can expect higher velocities. These are the streamwise velocity contours. So again you have a scour region near the outer bank, so typical behavior of meandering channel here. So what we are trying to do is, we have done, at least I have been working for a few years in meandering channels, mostly for the laboratory experiments and modeling for lab scale. And this is a challenge now that we are trying to model a large river, this is Yucayeli again, 25, 35 kilometers long. And right now we are concentrating on validating our modeling. So basically we are using a 2D modeling for now. We also plan to use later on a 3D model, but for now 2D modeling in order to validate our measurements and our modeling with our measurements. So the idea is then what we can do is develop the morphodynamic model and try to predict the evolution of this meandering configuration. Again, let's go back to the conference of the Amazon here, the Maranjon and the Yucayeli river. So we have seen a little bit about the Yucayeli river. Now let's look a little bit about the Amazon river. Again, the Amazon river is born right here. Again, the Amazon river is not a meandering channel. It's an abranching structure, main channel and secondary channels. If we see the, let's say this is the starting, this is Nauta where the Amazon is born, this is Iquitos and this is going through Brazil. So basically this is the boundary between Peru and Brazil. So if we identify the abranching structures again, what I'm calling an abranching structure is a main channel with secondary channels. If we identify along this flat plane, we can see here in these yellow circles where you are observing an abranching structures. The interesting thing is that for example here, let's pick this one. You have a high sinuosity channel, let's say local sinuosity, but still you have secondary channels. Let's pick this one here. You have very low sinuosity of the main channel and still you do have secondary channels. And here for example, this one is a, let's say, medium sinuosity and you still have secondary channels. The question is, how many secondary channels can we expect either on low, let's say, medium or high sinuosity of the main channel? How are they produced? This is a erosional system. Basically there is, this is not like the Parana river where the Parana is still in the positional system. So here the dynamics of these secondary channels might be important for the dynamics of the whole an abranching system. So that's what we are trying to do, trying to understand, let's say, what kind of, let's say, what is the importance of these secondary channels on the dynamics of each an abranching structure and why, how is that important in order to understand the whole Amazon system? So let's focus on only one here. This is the Muiui area. This is near Iquitos here. You can see there Iquitos city. So this is clear. You have a main channel right there and secondary channel and a small, let's say, secondary channel. But let's consider only two secondary channels here for simplifying things. From 1987 to 2009, if you compare the images, maybe things might not change too much, right? You can see that the whole an abranching structure is more stable. However, if you see here, and I don't have the images here, for example, when you have this high-synosity main channel, the dynamics are quite similar to a meandering channel. So basically it's the rate of migration for this an abranching structure is higher than the rate of migration for this other one. So let's go back here to Muiui. However, if we see in detail here, okay, the main channel does not migrate too much because it might be stabilized by these secondary channels. However, the secondary channels you can see here, this is an IT7. This secondary channel is starting to develop like its amplitude. It's starting to migrate somewhere here. And in 2005, it already merged with this other secondary channel. So basically, the message here is that we can treat this an abranching structure as the composition of a main channel and secondary channels that are quasi-freely meandering channels. Basically, non-developed meandering channels. And what do I mean by that? You have a boundary condition here upstream, at least for this secondary channel. You have boundary conditions given by the an abranching structure. And also, you do have a downstream boundary condition. It's not like in the case of, let's say, a freely meandering channel when let's go back here. In a case of a freely meandering channel that the upstream boundary condition is farther upstream. And let's say, in this case, there is no, let's say, a force in downstream boundary condition that is modifying the structure. So you allow the river to migrate along the flat plain, develop this dynamic equilibrium, get the dominant wavelengths, get the dominant amplitudes, get the dominant migration rates, all these parameters, statistical parameters. However, for the case of the, for the case of the an abranching structure here, you don't have the opportunity, you don't let these meandering channels to develop. So they are non-developed and they are not freely meandering because they interact with other channels and they also have the placement of the all, let's say, the, you can see here all traces. So it's not the same as those freely meandering channels. So what we have seen here is, again, meandering channel, purely meandering channels migrate much faster than an abranching channels. And you can see here, this is a meandering channel that the migration rate is much higher than, let's say, it's much higher than the whole structure. So, but still we need to understand under what conditions here this is more stable. And this is important at least for management because this is the Amazon River. Brazil is somewhere here, is trying to get to Asia through the Amazon River, going to, to, trying to, let's say, go to Peru and get to the Pacific Ocean and then go to Asia there, especially, specifically to China. So this is going to become very important. And a lot of, let's say, hydraulic structures or other kind of civil structures will be built somewhere in this region. So people might think that this is a very stable an abranching structure. But the idea is to understand the dynamics of each of these an abranching structures because the question is why do we have this 30 kilometer wavelength of presence of these an abranching structures. That's something that we don't know. And at least my, my group is trying to understand that. So again, we have done two field campaigns in this area, 2010 and 2011. But in 2010, we have used multi-being and single-being here, but this is the single-being data for this, for different an abranching structures. Here, I'm only showing you for the MUI area. You can see this is water depth. So this is not the bed elevation. So higher water depth, more scour region, lower water depth is the positional region. So you can see here for the main channel, typical erosional region here, in, let's consider this is a vent, outside of the vent, let's consider this is a higher erosional region, outside of the vent, higher erosional region.  So if we change the contours here at least the scale and just look at the individual secondary channels like this one here, it's interesting because you start to see a typical meander. You see here, in this case, water depth again, erosional region in the outer bank, erosional region in this outer bank changes. So you start to see, let's say, development of this vent. What is interesting here is look at the colors. Here, the erosional region is more or less pink, but here it's more white. So basically, what it means is that this meander is trying to develop higher and higher erosional rates or erosional, let's say, scour power, to scour the vent farther downstream, but it cannot do it as a freely meander because you have the influence of the downstream boundary condition. So let's look at another one here. Again, typical meander configuration. Upstream in this area, in the outer bank, red colors, erosional region, here pink colors, erosional region. And this is showing what I have said, downstream, the farther downstream that you are in these non-developed channels, the higher the erosional rate. So what is telling us is that, let's say, we need to understand the dynamics of this in order to understand the dynamics of the whole anabranches structure. And you can see here clearly the inflection point, basically from one bank, from the outer bank of this vent to the outer bank of the other vent. Again, these are single-bin data. We were playing with a multi-bin data in order to get the bed morphology, basically, bed forms in this anabranches structure because that's another question. How about the bed forms in these non-developed secondary channels? How are they compared to the main channel? For example, if we have dunes, how are they compared? So that's something we are doing. Also, we have done a lot of ADCP measurements in different places, but I'm showing you right here just to give the message. Typical meandering configuration. Higher velocities are, again, depth average velocities. Higher velocity to the outer bank changes to the other outer bank. So, these are not the typical, let's say, I always play with more freely meandering channels. These are not the typical ones, and we need to understand these non-developed scenarios. Let's talk a little bit about what kind of morphoenamic, bed morphoenamic features that we encountered. So this goes back to my research when I was at the University of Illinois, where we have developed this Kinochita channel, and I have measured some dunes migrating along this high-synosity channel. You can see here at different hours, you can see this is an animation at different hours, so where dunes were migrating along this high amplitude meander. So you can expect that dunes are migrating, maybe modifying the flow structure. The question is, how much do they modify? How important are those bed forms in order to consider for long-term meandering migration? So this is a time equal one hour. You can see one bed form here. This is a dune, right? What I have done is we have measurements at each hour, and we have computed a flow structure using a three-dimensional full-in-averse equation model. So what I'm showing you here is cross-section 15, cross-section 16, right here. 15 is the apex of the bend here. You, more or less, these are the velocities what you're observing here is just the cross-sectional velocities. So more or less, you recover what is the secondary flow, right? We have learned from fluvial mechanics like 101 that near the surface flow goes to the outer bend, and near the bed flow goes to the inner bend. That's why you have a depositional region in the inner bank. And you, more or less, recover that here, this secondary flow or this helical motion. However, if you are in cross-section 16, right there, you have a presence of a dune. You can see there. And these are not two-dimensional dunes. These are three-dimensional dunes. And if you plot the vectors, at least from the simulations, we, we couldn't measure completely when we have a progressing way because dunes. Because, you know, you have to have a statistic at least three minutes or five minutes of measurement. So under bed forms, we're migrating. So, but using this three-dimensional model, we describe here that there is no secondary flow. So it's almost the opposite. Look at this. Near the surface going inward. So what does it mean, this, is that the presence of this three-dimensional dune is modifying the secondary flow, the natural secondary flow. And why is this important? If we go to the field, let's say, to the Cayalli River, if we have dunes that are dependent on the dimension, of course, whatever you measure, you might be able, if you measure, let's say, in this condition, you will say, oh, we didn't observe the natural secondary flow. But that may be wrong because it is, the secondary flow is there, but it's being modified by the boundary layer above this dune. So that's what we need to consider, that, that, you know, what kind of bed forms do we have in that, in the channel is what we need to consider. And if we compare, how many minutes do I have? Two? Okay. So if we compare, let's say, this is an instantaneous value with, like, say, a time average bed morphology. This is just the bank, shear stresses on the bank, the outer bank. You can see here, if you have a dune, you have high shear stresses compared to a, let's say, a steady condition. So basically, most of the morphodynamic models that, at least what I have worked, we consider only the steady condition and not the instantaneous values that, for shear stresses, and depending, of course, on the bed morphology, you may have high shear stresses, higher fluid erosion. And that's what it's something we are doing. One of my students is trying to characterize these bed forms, separating dunes and ripples for large river systems. And the, my other student is trying to do is trying to understand the flow structure. At least this is for a laboratory scale. You can see this is in millimeters. But at least what we want to do is understand this bed form interaction with the flow structure and see if that's important for long-term migration or not. So with that, I want to finish just saying this. We have a GIS-based long-term migration model that we initially worked, you know, back in the day, 2006. It was a part of my master thesis. Now, we have improved a lot with the help of Eddie Langendon from the USDA. And we have some capabilities for bank erosion, physically-based bank erosion model. So this is the website. And we will be contacting the, in order to put this into the CSDM website. So again, just want to finish. I have to acknowledge without this support from these agencies and from specifically the Peruvian Navy that they are, we are, we have an agreement with them. Basically these field campaigns will be impossible. And well, my students and the support from my university. So thank you so much. Thank you. Questions? No question? Yeah. Yes, just one small question on the 3D flow field you showed on the, on the dune in the riverband. I was very surprised by, by the stronger velocity upwards near the bed. Do you have any explanation on that? Yes. So basically that cross-section, that cross-section is located at almost the tip of the bed phone. When you have, you know, flow more like a developing sheer layer going to the free surface. So that's the location. That's, that's, that's, I don't know if I can go here. Here. You can see here. So this dune, we have the developer boundary layer right there. And because the flow is accelerating, that's why you have these vectors going up. So if we go, let's say for just a simple, simple configuration, let's say you have, if you don't consider two bed phones, only one, I mean, always you will have a sheer layer right here, correct? So that's, that's what we are showing in the other simulations. I don't know if that answers question. We can look into the boundary conditions. You know, you assume the vertical velocity to be zero. No, in, in, in, these are large, yeah, these are large simulation, but these one were more runs. So we were putting like a logarithmic, let's say, wall functions into this, in the bed, at least in, in this simulation. These were done because of the domain. We were modeling the whole three consecutive bands in this case. Okay. I'm curious to know that when you are doing modeling, you must be measuring the flow, river flow and the sediment discharge, right? Yes. How many, how many places, how many locations? Oh, we have at least for the Amazon region, we have, I mean, we are covering the entire Amazon, the Peruvian Amazon, up to our boundary with Brazil. And the Navy is trying to get an agreement with the Brazilian Navy in order to get more, let's say, go, go into the Brazilian side also. And so here is what I want to acknowledge is that this is not only Peruvian Navy and University of Peace, but we have all institutions. That's why we created this center that is CREAR, it's a Spanish word that means create. So basically we will be doing, you know, long-term monitoring of this region. And if we are talking about also sharing data, that's also that we are trying to do. Maybe in the future we can put all our measurements for other people that want to do more analysis on that.


Going to ADRAC, you got an enemy squad out in the open, direction 11-0, degrees, range 4-5-0, meters, on my command, action!
