The following is a presentation of TFNN the morning market kickoff with your host Tommy O'Brien. Good morning everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien coming to you live from TFNN 8 30 a.m. Wednesday morning 60 minutes to go until the opening bell. We get some volatility in the markets folks. We got 80p private payrolls out. We added jobs but only about 167,000 I believe you know what let's jump right over to the number because private payrolls the headline is much worse than expected. We get non-farm payrolls about 48 hours from right now Friday 8 30 a.m. I'll be on the air live for that and there it is yes increased by just 167,000 jobs in July well below the estimate of a million and represents a tumble from the 4.3 million added in June. So we add back 4.3 million in June and we only add 167,000 in July. Things just stop as we have some hotspots whether it's Florida, Texas, right, California and now some other states as we have hit some of the peaks in some of those hardest hit areas. But nonetheless so that hitting the markets a little bit of context on where we've been we reach a high of 3321 as about a.m. 8 a.m. You sell off a bit on the payrolls number you reach a low in the SMPs at 3310 I say low low in the volatility that we had in the last couple hours but right now we're back up about 17 points in the SMPs 3316 pretty remarkable how close we are to those all time highs now in the SMP I mean talk about a rocket ship folks we've had some volatility from the highs in early June of 3227 we sold off in an instant but since then and really we've maintained this trend line I mean even you know it doesn't take a master shortest to see the kind of trend we have and the SMP holding steady on that trend 3317 within about 80 points of that all time high Nasdaq up 20 points 11103 right now we hit a high of 11144 putting this on a 15 minute you see the highs made at about 6 a.m. Little bit of a sell off as well 745 and 8 in the morning just above 11100 the Dow up 188 points 26906 for some context in the Dow almost made it to 30,000 before that dramatic sell off pretty remarkable that we got 11,500 Dow points you sold off and I think this bar let me see I think this bar is going to show us there it is I had the bar going back when we were down here in the lows of March in the Dow you had essentially traded back to a price level of December of 2014 the high in December of 2014 8,000 18,051 we came within 35 Dow points of that level in March and currently about 27,000 the highs about 2600 points higher all right we got to jump to gold why not keep it on this chart for a while before we jump away gold on a monthly basis dramatically charging higher in a big way look at these bars on a monthly basis the month of July we go from 1766 to 2005 and already today quite the acceleration in the last 48 hours early Tuesday gold contracts trading at 1982 we charge up almost $80 80 to a high of 2060 and 20 cents overnight we're backed off a bit 2052 for the price of that gold contract silver up almost a dollar right now 2699 for the price of that silver contract and jumping around to that note market 10-year note off a bit off about 66 right now at 140 05 still that 10-year well above the area that we had consolidated for a while we're now above that area just inching towards the 1.40 24 high back in March that 10-year yield just above 510% pretty much a half a percent remarkable all right we got to get into Disney Disney earnings after the bell last night looking too open to the tune of almost $8 higher quite the pop on their numbers so you initially dip lower down to 113 36 and just like that the conference call began last night at 5 excuse me 430 starts off relatively calmly there's 430 these are five minute bars there's 435 there's 440 and the 445 bar comes around and they announced that they are launching a new streaming service under the star brand that they acquired from Fox they also announced that Mulan which had been pushed back multiple times for theatrical release Mulan gonna be made available on a pay-per-view basis within Disney plus for about $29.99 I think it is so they're gonna have premium movies within Disney plus maybe the ones that ordinarily would be those blockbusters and they they call this a one-off though right they can't release this movie right now it's supposed to be an epic movie I think it cost them a couple hundred million dollars maybe to make and they're saying hey you know what we can't push this back for a year or two we're gonna have other movies that we want to release in a year or two we're gonna release this a one-off we're gonna test the waters maybe we'll get some more subscriptions with the ability to collect the $29 from current subscribers so nonetheless and the streaming service launching a new streaming service entirely boom like a rocket ship the market takes off from about 122 no excuse me 118 so we're trading almost even as in we close out the session at 117 and change we get some volatility they announced that service and Disney like a rocket ship takes off now this morning we've got some upgrades for Disney across the board as well we're up almost $8 at $125 for Disney putting things in some context on where Disney has been Disney the highs of June we're not even back up to there yet 127 and change basically we were as high as 153 41 pre-covid $79 the low in Disney and getting into the raw point of their numbers as we got it up there it is so there's a lot going on here they also announced 100 million paid subscribers now the market did not accelerate higher on that number that was not what did it and that's why listen into the earnings call it was when they announced the completely new streaming service under the star brand so they're gonna have an entirely new streaming service and they're also gonna release that Mulan movie direct to consumers they're gonna have another investor day in a couple months where they talk about how they're gonna accelerate things into Disney plus but when you add up Disney plus Hulu ESPN they're now at 100 million paid subscribers Disney plus alone as of Monday of this week 60 million subscribers originally their estimate was between 60 million and 90 million subscribers by the year 2024 they did it within one year of launching they launched November last year by August you have 60 million subscribers pretty remarkable when you look at that and the market likes it they actually made 8 cents a share the market was looking for 64 cent loss that's on an adjusted basis because they had some big charges in here they had an adjusted basis of excuse me Disney reported a net loss of the quarter force point 72 billion due in large part to charges related to its earlier acquisition of 21st century Fox including severance and contract termination costs and integration expenses so there it is 2999 beginning September 4th revenue they missed 11.78 billion versus 12.37 but did post that pop profit on an adjusted basis so Disney shares right at around 125 this morning what else we got going on in terms of earnings win out with their numbers putting it on a short term basis you see the volatility last night to 71 up to 74 we'll get into those numbers a bit and what else we have on tap for trading this morning checking out the VIX as this market shrugs off that

before a little bit of a sell-off on those private payroll numbers jumping into other companies with earnings beyond meat with their numbers last night not quite what the market was looking for you go from 146 basically on the spike high we close at 142 we spike up to almost 146 and then quite the sell-off down below 128 at one point we're currently down about $10 from the close yesterday at 132.75 in beyond meat and to see what they had to say beyond meat so grocery sales nearly triple offsetting restaurant losses grocery sales soared almost 200% during the quarter ended June 30th but food service sales slid as restaurants universities office buildings temporarily shuttered company did not reissue in that outlook and they came in at net loss 16 cents revenue 113 million beyond reported second quarter net loss of $10 million about dollars or 16 cents a share wider than the loss they were looking for 9.4 or 24 cents per share a year earlier excluding costs related the company lost two cents a share nonetheless the stock I mean it's been quite a run it's had even at 132 graphically you're talking about right here quite a consolidation maybe between about 120 up to 140 and change spike to 160 still pre-covid we're at about 120 on this stock okay maderna out with their numbers second quarter revenue jumps five fold on coronavirus vaccine development revenue jumped to 66 million from maderna during the quarter more than five times the 13 million it took in during the same period last year higher than the 27 million projected by analysts quite a number MRNA is their symbol and we are actually lower though there's your volatility quite the expectation conference call beginning at 8 a.m. currently trading at 76 60 came in at 78 46 company narrowed its second quarter lost to 116 million from 134 million they say they're up more than 1% they got to update that article because that ain't true no more we were size 82 you spike to 74 right as the conference call comes to begin about 45 minutes ago I assume they will have some volatility today as they have been one of the more volatile stocks from $20 $30 up to 95 we're going to open about 76 from maderna shares well and there we go we get more Madera news as they're on their conference call right now vaccine at 32 to $37 per dose for some customers you're going to see some volatility is that conference call progresses CVS out with their numbers as well jump as the retailer raises the 2020 forecast strong quarterly results adjusted earnings per share will be in the range of 714 to 727 getting into their numbers fiscal second quarter net income almost $3 billion or 226 a share up from almost $2 billion a year earlier not bad excluding items there in 264 share higher than the 193 the market was looking for revenue up 3% to 65 billion from 63.43 market was looking for 64.23 so they took in more than a billion extra dollars the market was looking for CVS shares there's your daily we're going to open higher this morning we're at 65 yesterday on the close and we're currently trading at about 67 spike this high as 70 76 at one point in CVS shares mortgage rates a new record low 3.14% for the average fixed 30 year mortgage mortgage applications to purchase a home also fell for the week down 2% but 22% higher from one year ago pretty remarkable all these interest rates I covered at the top of the program the 10 year actually pulling back a bit for the first time in a while 140 04 still when you look at things in this context folks context 139 22 was basically the higher range going all the way back to the spike high from March we hit that high starting 1st in April we hit it again late April we hit it again in May we came up to this level late June late June all through month of July and we are dramatically above that even on the pullback today of 7 ticks at 1403 you can see the trend and it is upwards with lower rates coming at us all right I'm sure we all saw the explosion in Beirut pretty remarkable visual explosion and the carnage done over there keep some white light and some prayers over to the people in Beirut because that is a catastrophe of epic proportions going on there and it's unfortunate reports coming out that maybe there's been a modium nitrate stored there since like 2014 yet 20 had 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate had been present for six years in a warehouse that they were storing there that they confiscated originally in 2014 when it was coming in through a port not the stuff you want to see folks huge loss of life and unfortunate so keep them in your thoughts today all right what else we got going on so just as we're coming on the air you have President Trump I believe he was out on Fox News and he is talking about quote unquote a big number coming out Friday on jobs we live in a new normal time folks whether you think that is good or bad pretty hard to deny that this is a new normal going on that you have the president leading economic indicator numbers that are expected in 48 hours but guess what it's happened before and pay attention so we just got private payrolls maybe part of the reason why the market just shakes off private payrolls is you have the president out there already cheerleading jobs number on Friday that we don't get for 48 hours but nonetheless in June 2018 he tweeted an hour before it looking forward to seeing the number and it was a crush to the upside and we'll see what happens let's see the they're looking for 1.264 million jobs in July I wonder how that changes with the private payroll number missing this morning in a big way but nonetheless factor that into what is going on all right some of the tech stocks quite a run they've had Apple finally getting a little bit of a downgrade from Bank of America as we jump into stocks making moves you go up to the top here Bank of America downgraded Apple to neutral from buy and and and help me understand this one while raising its price target on the stock to 470 from 420 I like that why not right it's pretty great when the only time you get a downgrade it's accompanied by a price target raise not bad the firm said there are many positives for Apple but risks as well risks as well and the risk reward is balanced at current price levels I mean basically what they're saying is listen they're going to do really well but doing really well is already priced into this stock we're trading at 436 we reached 212 was the lowest you're more than 100 percent you've doubled the stock since the lows even pre-covid you're at 325 you're up $110 you're 33% from the highs pre-covid let alone this year some of these tech stocks Microsoft quite the acceleration as well we're going to open about 213 from Microsoft got to take a look at Amazon shares going to open basically flat at 3136 for Amazon Netflix has had quite the run-up right you go from 252 less than a year ago your COVID lows just below 300 and we're sitting this morning at about 509 for Netflix shares the the acceleration in Disney and does not seem to be getting them the way of Netflix shares and we'll jump back to Disney as Disney right now sitting at about 124.60 for that stock as it looks to open higher on their earnings all right folks stay tuned we'll come back see what else we have on top we'll go over other earnings after the bell tonight S&P's positive by 16 you get the NASDAQ positive by just five right now in the Dow Dow almost leading the way up almost 200 points right now stay tuned folks we're right back in three minutes back in the

What do communes, municipalities in Germany do against discrimination emanating from their digital strategy? You could claim that as a solution, municipalities simply avoid digitalization at all. But that's no longer true. Because Germany, in Germany, algorithms have started to influence our lives beyond the digital sphere. And our speaker, Leonhard Freundler, is a student for humanism. He has a bachelor in media and computer science. And he will give us a data ethical overview about whether German municipalities have developed awareness to the risks and whether they act against discrimination. Leonhard, it's your stage. The stage is yours. But sound is not coming through. Can you hear me again? Yes, I could, but the audio quality was quite bad. Let's see how we cope. Okay, thank you. Short technical issues will start. Data ethic in this small city is my topic. As my Harold has just said, I have a bachelor in media computer science and then went into urbanism, not humanism. And I asked myself, where is the interface here? I started reading books on various topics about one year ago. And then for the first time I came across this term, data ethics. And I asked myself, what does that mean and how is that implemented in cities? Data ethics, the easiest way perhaps to explain it is the norms and values for digitalization for our tea projects in connection to big data. And the question is what should be taken into account and taken care of. And through various literature, I came across the term smart city, which I'm sure you've all heard and which you all have some meaning for. So I thought smart city, there are so many processes involved here that are digitally controlled. Does anyone make ask themselves the ethical questions? And then through the books I read, which I'm going to tell you more about later. I found several examples how this works. So I'm going to pick three of these. The first example I got to hear about is failing facial recognition. So these are images from faces that are matched to a database. And this kind of software will often have problems with people of color, trans people, which they cannot recognize as accurately because they often are missing in the training data. What does that lead to? Well, if the police would were to use such a software to recognize people they are looking for, then black people would more often be able to recognize people they are looking for. So black people would more often be falsely suspected, arrested, and stopped and searched. That's the first example. Example number two, predictive policing. Predictive policing is the attempt to predict crimes. So you feed a software, quite often this is a kind of algorithm that is linked to some kind of artificial intelligence. You feed that with police data and socio-demographic data with geo information. And then you try to predict when and where a crime will occur. Often there is a kind of heat map that is shown as an output. And that is then used to support the police personnel plans, the police actions. The claim is that this can work at minutes of accuracy. Often it's about drug deals, burglaries and things like that. The criticism here is that there is a strong threat of feedback loops. So the data that is being used as input is influenced by the output. We may have data that has originated from racist police planning. And then we find a apparently high identity of crimes in certain areas, which will lead this program to say, yeah, step up your patrols there. So they find more crimes there. And these data are fed back again into the software. And then enhances or magnifies the trend. And it would also seem that these systems are very successful, because of course the number of detected crimes rises. But what we don't see is what happens in other districts. Third example, sexist snow clearing practices, a very interesting example. So in the city of Karlskogar in Sweden, the town council in 2011 was running an audit of all their policies according to gender bias. And they found that, well, if we clear the main roads first of snow, the main arteries of traffic, then we will prefer people in Karls. That is just a political decision, perhaps. But two thirds of public transport users in Sweden are women. And it showed that many accidents that led to hospitalization were pedestrian accidents.  So what the city of Karlskogar did was that they changed the order in which they clear their roads from snow. They start with smaller roads and with pavements and bus stops. And this way, the number of accidents decreases, because the accidents with pedestrians decreases, and that saves the commune money, actually. And there are more examples, both with a connection to towns and other connections. Let's just mention racist credit approval practices. If banks use systems for credit approval that are based on racist data. So what can be causes of discrimination, both in a municipality context and others? Well, this could be a lack of diversity in teams, the teams that develop the software. Facial recognition software, the problem often is that teams developing the software are mainly male and white, and no one, therefore, will notice, oh, hang on, we should have tested with people of color as well. The credit predictive policing. We've talked about the feedback loops already. So the input that is fed into the system comes from the outcome of the system. Also, another item from the predictive policing area is data that actually is a result of inequalities, such as racism, which leads to areas with a majority, with a larger share of a black population, being more heavily policed and this data being fed back and inequalities being magnified. Another problem is that decisions that are based on statistical means rather than individual data, for example, I might try to prove a credit and base that decision on a average of the population in my district. The people in my district may have problems repaying credit on average, but doesn't tell you anything about this individual that will be perhaps better based on my wages, my tax returns, data that is actually about me as an individual. Context factors are important too. For example, in healthcare, there is a sex aggregation of data. If I don't do that, I have a much harder time to assess how men and women react, respond to a certain treatment, certain medication, unless I separate the data by sex. Another problem that is very problematic and that leads to inequalities is ratings assessments to other users. For example, if a restaurant that is run by foreigners is given worse reviews, not because the service was bad, but because people didn't feel comfortable through their racist stereotypes, then this restaurant will be given worse reviews, leading to few people going there, and that might then lead to further state checks, discrimination through reviews. Another example is the rating of distributed employees' ships. For example, Uber users, Uber drivers being rated and the decision whether they can continue being based on that. So much about that, but how does that all translate to a city or municipality environment? As the Harold said already, thank you, by the way. I think we all know that the influence of IT systems is constantly rising in communes, in town administrations. So this could be controlling of certain procedures, town planning, up to individual decisions in town administrations. There are interesting examples. The Woven City by Toyota that they tried to establish and they are trying to use a lot of digital planning there in the Arabic region, there is the so-called the line. And these were two examples, new examples, but there are existing examples too that are interesting to look at. For example, Rio de Janeiro, very intense early warning systems for natural disasters, and Barcelona does a lot of traffic management that way. They are regarded as worldwide leaders as far as smart city, existing smart city systems are concerned. What's the situation like in Germany though? We mostly have new projects. So the whole issue of smart city is actually slow to kick off in Germany. And a lot is about smart city furniture as it were. So waste bins that tell you to what extent they are filled, data platforms are then created that collect all the city's data. And of course, the town administration itself is being digitalized. From the side of legislation, there is not a lot as far as things that regulate a digital project like this, projects and a lot. There is not a lot about discrimination in this context. There are a few projects in Germany. For example, the last German government started a data ethics commission that isn't just dealing with the municipality area, but discrimination as a whole in the digital space. There is the anti-discrimination commission at the federal government. And Mr. Steinmeier used to be the foreign minister and now is the German president, started a project. And the interior ministry started a project about the smart city dialogue. They wanted to establish model experimental communes that started dialogue platforms. And in that context, a smart city charter was formed or was created, which says what communes should look out for as they start smart city projects or digitalization projects. There are some very general and simple ideas here such as inclusive practices and that's the sovereignty about the data should always be kept with the communes. The data should not be handed over to large companies such as Google or Amazon. Another item of course is open data because science, journalism, private citizens, NGOs should be able to work with the data that is produced by citizens and there should be a public good that is used and evaluated. And that is a very important item that various institutions always come back to. There should be an exchange of knowledge and there should be competency centers so that communes cities can learn from each other. The smart city charter remains in a very general field though. There are no details, just general guidelines. What is more concrete is the data ethics commission by the federal government, not so much focused on the cities but the government as a whole. And they created a few demands that should be kept to the most important being a risk adapted regulatory system which means that a technology impact assessment is supposed to be made and assessing what the impact of an IT system is on society, on business, on various fields and issues. And out of that a damage potential is being reduced which is the probability of a damage combined with the severity of the damage and from that the idea is to derive regulations from that whether a system like that should be permitted and to what extent and how and they propose a quality steel for that quality label so that I as a consumer will be able to find what the impact will be. Also they want to extend, they want to establish a competence center on data ethics for the whole of Germany that would lead to new regulations about beyond classical issues of privacy to deal with data ethics questions and maybe an extension of protection, protected features. So the classical anti-discrimination law that exists and is mostly based on five features, sex, religion, party affiliation and so on that should be extended and these items. I read various documents, not just the smart city charter and the data ethics commission's report but also anti-discrimination commission by the government and I am going to summarize a few items for you how to avoid discrimination. Or at least what are some suggestions to avoid it. The first point is exchange and competency. So cities like Hamburg that do a lot in the direction of smart city they are supposed to support smaller communities with estimating what they should do and how to do things and share the best practices. And part of that is digital sovereignty. For example Hamburg, they provide access to their developments so other communities don't have to take items or software from companies. Another thing that many people want is free access to data and algorithmic systems. So the GDPR allows me personally to have access to data that a provider has saved about me and all of us know that we can demand that it gets changed or corrected or deleted and here they want to enlarge that to provide more access. So for example for scientists or journalists to be able to estimate the impact of such systems and we want more transparency and a public control instance that has access. And this ideally should contain documentation to really be able to know what can the system do and maybe the public institutions are then able to also provide a seal of quality or a quality label. That's also then connected to an impact assessment. The demand also gets mentioned a lot that the laws have to be adjusted because right now they are very focused on privacy but not towards the whole field of discrimination. And an interesting demand as I think is an algorithmic accountability codex. So just like the oath of the doctors just for programmers. In my master's thesis I am looking at three example cities that are hopefully quite representative or more advanced for German cities. First of all Darmstadt, they have their own approach. They founded a company that is 100% owned by the city and this company first of all created an Ethics and Technology Advisory Committee. And this company is then advised by this committee to make good decisions and avoid discrimination. And the first step and this is why Darmstadt is quite interesting as a case study is that they provided ethical guard railings or guard rails. How their projects should be run. So general points like that such projects should serve the community and there must always also be an analog way not digital only but also there is an impact assessment connected to all the projects. And I talked to people of this company and they said that's more a target that they want to reach. They are not quite there yet. In the advisory committee there is a subgroup that already does it for some projects but not for all of them. And as in the most smart city plans there is a data platform where all the public data from sensory inputs and other data is collected. But there is not only motivation from the city side but also an educated civic party that is in the city lab or in the group democracy instead of surveillance and they are invested as well. Then I have Hamburg and Hamburg seems to is always called the first the first furthest advanced and that's probably because they have been at it for a long time and they have their own department State Department for IT and digitization. They have a proper strategy for digital life and their goal is to have central building blocks for projects that can be reused. They also first of all have guidelines, big guidelines for the university for example that was just developed or their digital strategy that is quite far reaching and has a big focus on digital sovereignty but also on the small level they made decisions that protects the data security of the civilians. For example the cameras they only want cameras that view infrared so they are unable to see number plates for example. And the third example is Ulm. Ulm has a big concept for data ethics and that makes them a little unique in the German landscape. So where others have a big concept here Ulm has a very specific one. I recommend to read it especially if you want to read further especially because they also have further reading recommendations and it's very interesting it's a good starting point to learn more. And also and this is something that many people want and also an example from Barcelona if you make contracts as a city if you make a contract with private companies that you then share those contracts. So for example Ulm specifically they had they made a pact with e-scooter suppliers so they can demand, make demands where the e-scooters can be placed but on the other hand they do receive data about the e-scooters so they can get information about the traffic. So they are in a dialogue. The data is not just the e-scooters but also with the city and they can influence, they have a dialogue and there is also an example of Vodafone with Barcelona and they have a similar pact. Those are my three current examples. So these examples are good. They are very conscious of the issues but then there are Cologne, Bonn, Dresden. They want to be a smart city they don't seem to be very interested in data ethics so there is a huge bandwidth of smart cities in Germany but there aren't many laws yet that concern themselves with more than just data protection and it's almost impossible for all the cities to just shoulder everything themselves. Many of them just want to be a smart city because it's a new thing, a hip word but they don't know what it implies. And yeah, I showed some examples then the so-called Battlesman Foundation does a lot here but yeah, it's still early days it's just beginning right now and I think especially now with this early studies decisions have to be made and laws have to be passed and now the foundations have to be laid and it's not just about helping people but providing concrete help how to really turn decisions into reality and one point that I see all the time and that I really want to stress that there has to be an exchange that's also used so all the cities not only exchange ideas but real concrete ideas and projects and help each other concretely not just have nice ideas but also so they know how to make them a reality and I mentioned some material and this is the slide with all the material that I would recommend to you if it's interesting to you a good start is this study of the Antidiscrimination Council what is data ethics they are talking about all these points what are the problems and how can we attack these problems three books to the topic I can really recommend them so this study is more than 200 pages maybe these books are more easily digested they are popular science especially weapons of mass destruction talks about data science and what the problems are or the issues or the potential problems and then we talk more about the operation itself the slides might be on then hopefully tomorrow on my website then you can also use the links that I put in here and now last but not least I am in the middle of my master thesis I hope that I can find more examples my problem is that most of the examples from the books are English they are in the US they are in England or Great Britain but there is very little happening in Germany or published in Germany now if you know examples in the German speaking area where state IT has been discriminating or maybe not just state IT or city IT but IT in general and the second question that I have discussed a lot can sensor data be discriminating? can city data be discriminating? do I have ideas for that? write a mail or maybe just join the breakout room and we can discuss it thanks a lot Dear Linett a very warm thanks for this elaborate and in-depth talk I am very happy that you gave it to us because it won't just be interesting and raising awareness for cities that are discovering a new universe for these many options and possible consequences of such projects but not just with your thesis that is of course upcoming so just realize that with their data they could discriminate and I hope that your talk is going to contribute to digitalization projects being furthered with increased awareness where the risks involved are also taken into account thank you for that we have a question and answer pad and there are some ideas there impulses maybe and also to come back to your request that you are looking for examples about beyond Darmstadt in Hamburg of communes in Germany what that could be I will quickly come back to that would you perhaps tell us what is so great about Barcelona traffic planning what do they do well Barcelona is something else they are taking the question how can a smart city be adjust and one question that they attacked quite early is that the data of the civilians belong to the people and not to some company and that has several implications in everyday life but that is the basis that they also made the foundation and examples are that in Barcelona the city council they have a contract with Vodafone so Vodafone is allowed to provide the phones to all civic servants of the city but in return because they are able to calculate where are many people in which area and you have to provide that data so Vodafone has to provide that data and then the city can use that data because the idea was why should only Vodafone have this data and we were talking about traffic before Barcelona has an extensive bike sharing system that is used a lot and also there it is possible there is a person who is responsible for data protection and data management and with them we can see how many bikes are used where how are they moving and again these are data that is generated by the city and that should belong with the city and stay with the city the sovereignty that is actually an interesting point just as an example the Luka app that of course had a role in the fight against corona in Germany just by its large spread it is interesting for in quotes new functions and well I'm not going to say it's a threat but maybe there is an enticement a temptation that communes that don't have the technological competency themselves that they rely on companies of course they then have a private organization and they have a certain interest in their data so do we need certain securities is it the GDPR the European data protection regulation that can help us there or are there any local laws maybe that can use well that's quite difficult because here there is two topics that overlap in my opinion one is privacy and data protection the other is the right not to be discriminated against so one is the GDPR and data protection laws in the European realm then data privacy shield with the US for example on the other hand there is not much so the right not to be discriminated against there is not much there is this right but it's just the five the five points the five attributes and the question is with machine learning it's quite easy to find correlations for example perceived place of living and ethnicity is a protected characteristic but if I know where you live then I can estimate who you are so data protection is nice but quite often it's not enough and also not really what it's about but we have to rethink anti-discrimination law because what kind of data can be used and abused and what has to be protected sexuality, gender, ethnicity obvious but what else do we need so yeah we have to make it further but that's as far as I know it's not been worked on thank you of course that reminds me of the example that we had in advance of the talk so we have companies with good intentions in a large US city that only wanted to employ people that were based close to the company headquarters in order to reduce the impact on the environment and then it turned out that people of non-white color were the ones that were living further away because rents were cheaper there so there was an indirect massive discrimination that was involved so all were intended but as the implementation took place they didn't think of the impact and another question I had there are systems today in holiday locations such as Venice that track holiday makers do we know of any negative impacts here well what negative impacts are known well I would recommend an excellent article in the New York Times they bought a data set from a data broker of movement data and there is a lot of apps that just ask for location data and hand it over with the data for example and yeah of course that makes sense that they get access and if you have ads that have that data as well and if then one place collects all that advertisement data then they can have movement profiles as well and now the New York Times bought such a data set and with this set they followed some of the actors or the data points in the set and they found one year as senator or some high politician that followed some protests and yeah if you don't close your phone or turn it off then in the background it makes connections and yeah so this person follows exactly the protest line that's very interesting data and which protests they follow and of course that's not only possible for politicians but also private people and that's just as interesting this person has their home and work and their third place but could that be? Could it be a strip club or something? So for all of us a movement data is very sensitive what shops are you visiting? Where are you driving? Very private data At the end of last year at RC3 we had a very interesting talk about the city of Oldenburg in northern Germany I think it was Oldenburg they had a public transport app which even after people left the public transport the tracking still went on so the potential that you talked about is enormous there Yeah but it's also difficult to say what's private and what's data protection and what's discrimination of a single person yeah I know what demonstrations or protests they're going to and maybe send them targeted ads but where's the potential for discrimination of whole groups? You talked in that context about ethical guardrails and I think the city of Olden had prepared some guidelines ethical guardrails questions here would something like this be something that you could go to the courts about and use it to ask for your rights? Well the issue is as mentioned that the laws of anti-discrimination isn't as far as developed but also it's very difficult to prove it and you have to notice first that you were discriminated against and even if you notice that you were discriminated how do you prove it? That's very difficult also in front of a court it depends on the case but in general how do you prove it? And how can you prove it if you are not a computer scientist? Maybe you can't you have no idea how an AI works machine learning so you need to know a lot of things often it's protected using copyright and the company just says well that's our secret thank you but I fear that we're running out of time because of the question we still have so let's change over to the breakout room and the link to the breakout room is on the page on the schedule


Welcome again. My name is Martin and I am a support engineer for low-power and Bluetooth devices. So today's topic is firmware upgrade over the air. We have tried to make as much focus on hands-on as possible. So after the short explanation of the principle, we will have two hands-on related to upgrade of the Bluetooth of the RF stack on the M0 site. So this is not directly related to FU-OTA but worth to practice. Then we have two hands-ons related to FOTA, one for the upgrade of the user application and one for the upgrade of the RF stack. So we see how the time goes. We might not have time to finish it all. And at the end, we will have a look at the evaluation of the current consumption on WB. So this is where we will need the power shield that you have in front of you.


It's a very good topic, the question of nurturing faith in an ever-increasing, faithless world. I would just say that I think a major obstacle for young people is the university system. Religious universities in the West, the dominant epistemology, tends to be one of untruth, that there is no truth, right? This goes by different types of names, critical theory, probably the best term for it is postmodernism, this idea that there's no real truth, there's no objective morality, right? So when young Muslims are exposed to these ideas, it's very difficult for them to be able to articulate responses that have some substance to them, because a lot of the rhetoric that they're hearing sounds really good, right? I would say that it's sort of has this air of pseudo profundity to it, it's formed way over substance. When you really break down what's being said, it's full of contradictions, even this idea that there's no truth, right? That's contradictory in and of itself, because that's a statement of truth, the only absolute truth is that there's no absolute truth, right? However, Muslim students, or confessionals in general, it's not just Muslims, it's Christians, it's Orthodox Jews, when they enter into these institutions, they feel themselves sort of inadequate, because their faith traditions make absolute truth claims, that there's truth, there's haqq and there's batil, right? And this whole idea of haqq and batil is something that is ridiculed in the academy. Abrahamic morality is ridiculed, is attacked in the academy. To say for example, there are things that are moral and there are things that are not moral, right? So oftentimes, confessional students, be they Muslim, Christian, or Jewish, the only viable solutions that they have, according to them, is either to what I call sell out or check out, right? To sell out meaning, well, I need to start thinking a little bit differently about this, because I don't want to offend anyone, I have to sort of mitigate the hurt feelings of people, because I don't want to be offensive, and sort of reinvent what I think the Qur'an is saying, right? So the literary method of postmodernism is known as deconstructionism, so this idea that there is no normative reading of anything, the idea of a meta-narrative, the sort of overarching interpretation of a text does not exist according to deconstructionism, which is what students in high school are taught. You can make up the text whatever you want of it, right? So this idea that, you know, one of the pioneers, I was telling this to Sheik Farah, one of the pioneers of this movement, he said, you know, as long, there's no such thing as right and wrong, as long as it's interesting, then it's fine. All you have to be is interesting, right? So you have this phenomenon of radical hermeneutics happening in the academy, you have people reading a text that are drawing conclusions from the text that are absolutely irreconcilable with the traditional faith of the ulama or the articulations of the traditional scholars. But tradition seems to be part of the problem. Traditional value systems are seen as oppressive, they're seen as tyrannical, they're seen as patriarchal, you know, this word, they really like patriarchy. The patriarch is, you know who the patriarch is, right? So Ibrahim, his name means father of many nations, Abraham, father of many nations. He is the patriarch, the ruling father. So there's this idea that before the Abrahamic faith traditions, the world was sort of this utopia where everyone just sort of got along, it was peaches and cream, it was Disney world, and then here comes these Abrahamic faith traditions that oppress certain people and they're still here, and this is really the problem according to them. So this is the type of epistemology that young confessional students are up against in the academy, right? So it's incumbent upon us to be extremely fortified in our faith to at least know how to articulate responses in order to get people to think, you know, and it's difficult because I think it's the nature of, the nature of our dean to be, I don't know how else to put it, it's going to be offensive towards certain people because when you make absolute truth claims about theology and morality, some people are going to be offended, so we have to do our best to mitigate that, but at the end of the day there are certain parameters that we cannot breach because we want to be in the spirit of Allah and his messenger, right? We want to be, we want that to be our foundation, that's our bedrock, that's, that's, that is really the basis of everything, right? So we need to do a lot of spiritual work, we need to do a lot of intellectual work. From a standpoint of spirituality, it's important for us because these institutions, they breed in gratitude, right?  And that fact by itself should fill us with shukr, with gratitude. Shukr is a type of kufr according to the Qur'an. فَذْكُرُونِ أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَشْكُرُولِ وَلَا تَكْفُرُونِ Have regard for me so that I might have regard for you. Be grateful to me and do not disbelieve. So these two words really are put in juxtaposition. So there's a term that Westerners use for Arabic rhetoric. There's a concept called parataxis where you find this in Semitic rhetoric where two terms are juxtaposed because they're antonyms, they're opposites. So the opposite of shukr is kufr.  Just the mere fact that we're Muslims right after the defeat or after the tragic event of the Qura'an, Allah SWT revealed in the Qura'an, Don't lose heart, don't be sad, don't fret. In any case you are in a dominant position as long as you have faith ultimately comes down to having faith because the nature of the world is that of high and low. That's the nature of the dunya. That's why we have hope. Hope is very important. We have hope in Allah SWT. We have hope in the Prophet SAW. We have hope in the Yom al-Qiyamah, Allah SWT says, You have the Messenger of God, a beautiful pattern of conduct. For whoever has hope, hope in Allah and in the final day and makes the thicker of Allah in abundance. So having hope in Allah SWT is something that we need to cultivate. And that Allah SWT, he is the Lord of the worlds and he can change our situation 180 degrees and we recognize that but there are certain things that we have to go through in the dunya because that is the nature of the dunya. The word dunya means a low place. That's what it literally means. So don't make this dunya into paradise. At dunya signal mu'min. We have to do the best we can obviously to create a just society and whatnot. But the problem is the ideology that is coming out of a lot of these institutions does not recognize an afterlife. So then students, they sort of put all of their eggs in the basket of the dunya and then the dunya disappoints them and then they leave the religion. So they check out completely. They don't want to deal with it. And it's really a misunderstanding of what is the dunya? What is its nature? What do we hear for? And then contemplation, this idea of thinking about the ni'am of Allah SWT. This will engender shukr in our hearts. So I would say although activism is very important, I would prioritize knowledge over activism. Because activism, again, very important, but you're going to be disappointed because that's the nature of the world. And if you don't have the spiritual discipline to deal with these disappointments, and then it becomes dangerous to your iman. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, if you look at his life, you have hardship upon hardship. Who has the most severe of tribulations? He asked the Sahaba and they were probably thinking, well, maybe the kuffar, the Munafiqeen, who? He said, Al Anbiya, the prophets and those closest to them. If you look at the life of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, as Sheikh Faraz reminded me, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam did not complain to anyone ever. He did not complain.  So he's attributing his weakness, he's attributing his shortcomings to himself, and this is called Tawadur, this is humility. This is someone who has good ubudiyah with Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala. So there's a difference between ibadah and ubudiyah. You can have a lot of ibadah, a lot of acts of worship, but ubudiyah, good ubudiyah indicates a good attitude with Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala, a good attitude. So breaching adab, breaching good character with Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala is something that's very dangerous and we seek refuge from. But a lot of times we're taught by certain institutions that this is sort of what needs to be done, or that's the logical conclusion of the ideology or philosophy that young people are taught. So we need to fortify our spirituality. So taking time out every day and just thinking about the blessings of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala, this will engender shukr in the heart, right? And the Prophet ﷺ, he is the Paragon of Virtue. And when he would pray, there's a hadith, Abu Huraira, it's mentioned in the Shama'il Ibn Imam At-Tirmidhi, that it was said to him, why do you do this when Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala has forgiven your past and future transgressions? And of course the transgression of a Prophet is very different, a thumb of a Prophet is very different than what we do. And his response, should I not be a grateful servant, right? And shakur according to the ulama is different than the shakr. The shakr is the one who is thankful, the shakur is the one who continues to thank even in a state of deprivation because the shakur knows that if he's being deprived of something by Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala, in essence, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala may be staving off some sort of harm from him. And so in reality, Allah is still giving to him something. But this takes spiritual discipline to come to these sort of realizations, you know. So trust Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala, tawakul is very important. And you know, one of my teachers told me, and maybe this is a bit cynical, but it works for me, so you know, and that is that, you know, don't really expect anything from anyone in the dunya and you won't be disappointed. And obviously that's not true.  But know that this is the nature of the dunya. The nature of the dunya is to break you, right? And the shaitan is active in the dunya. And shaitan is real. And oftentimes I mention shaitan on the minbar, I see Muslims rolling their eyes at me. Or shaitan, what color is this pitchfork? What is this guy talking about? No, the shaitan is real. If qaalil insan uqfur, this is what he wants to do. He says to the human being, disbelieve, right? So we have to be wary of that.  You have different types of satanism. You have something called the church of satan. You have Crowley and satanism, or thalayma, as a massive following. They have a qiblah, they call it a qiblah, a house where their founder performs some sort of demonic ritual, they make pilgrimage to it, right? So shaitan is real. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Qur'an that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is uswa tunhasana. He says that one time in the Qur'an about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions the name of our deen, al-Islam, eight times in the Qur'an. You can look this up in a concordance. How many times in the Qur'an does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala refer to the shaitan as adoo mubeen? At least 15 times in the Qur'an. At least 15 times. And the shaitan, he wants us to disbelieve, right? So there seems to be a relationship between an increase in the reddah or apostasy seems to be commensurate with a demonic presence. So in some of these institutions of higher learning, you have Muslims entering these places and I've read articles that up to half of confessionals leave the religion when they enter into these institutions of higher learning. And of course the response from academics is, well that's because this is the first time they actually know how to think. So they're leaving their archaic, antiquated, divisive, irrelevant religious creeds and they're coming into this new enlightenment, right? But if you actually talk to some of these Muslims, and you know, I did 10 years in a graduate school, I'm a professor now, a lot of it has to come down, a lot of it comes down to them not knowing how to articulate things, feeling inferior, inadequate, and then choosing to leave because they just don't want to deal with it. And then if you stop praying after a while, you stop fasting, you stop making vikr, you know, sometimes as they say, the damage has been done and it's very difficult for them to come back, you know. So it's important for us on the intellectual side to be able to form strong arguments, at least for traditionalism, you know. Because appealing to the Quran, they would say, well that's just a logical fallacy, you're appealing to unqualified authority, I don't believe in the Quran. People will find it offensive. But that's the nature of the beast, right? I mean, you can't make everyone happy and you shouldn't try. What we should concern ourselves with is making Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la happy as it were, is pleasing Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. At the end of the day, that's the only opinion that's going to matter. In a hundred years, no one, unless you're Justin Bieber, no one on earth will be thinking of you. I try to think of a Canadian celebrity. That's the first one I popped into my hand. Who's another one? Ben Johnson, you guys remember him? Anyway, no one is going to be thinking about you. No one's going to be looking at your picture.  Now, Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la says in the Quran that it is hoped that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la will put between you and those who antagonize you, Mawadda, which is a type of love or mutual respect because Allah is omnipotent. That can happen, obviously, right? And that's what we hope for. Asa Allahu, and asa in Arabic is fi'l taraji, the verb of hope. It's good to have hope, as I said. So we have to keep moving. We have to keep striving. Ultimately, the dunya, the time in the dunya is very short. It goes by quickly. I remember Y2K scare like it was yesterday, you know. And as you get older, things really go faster. I'm, you know, 24 now.  So we put things in perspective. We try to please Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la because ultimately, that's the one we should be concerned. He's the one that we should be concerned about, you know. And, you know, keep striving to speak with people, with adab, but tell people the truth, be principled, right? And because the truth is powerful, the sunnah is tried and tested. It is powerful. And people that have, you know, issues, there are a lot of amrad al-Qulub that people have. So there's a lot of barriers to things. But as we chip away at things, and we chip away at our own hearts as well, obviously, sooner or later, inshallah Ta'ala, we have hope that these things will be embraced and people will become Muslim and love Allah and His Messenger. And this could happen in a supernatural type of way. It can.  And Fudala said that before he lifted his hand from my chest, there was nobody on earth that was more beloved to me than he was. Or this happens just through virtuous conduct, right? So like, we all know the iconic story of the Bedouin who came and relieved himself in the Masjid. This iconic story, right? The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam showed him gentleness. Fadima rahmatim minallahi lintalahum. It is part of the mercy of Allah that you have gentleness. He was mild mannered. And, you know, he told the Bedouin that this is a Masjid, this is for Dhikr, this is for Qira'ah, this is for Salawat. And he showed him so much gentleness and ihsan as they were leaving the Masjid, the Bedouin turned around, addressing everybody. And he said, Allahumma irhamni wa muhammadan wa la tarhamma anahadan. And the Prophet laughed. He said, oh, Allah bless me, have mercy on me and on muhammad and nobody else. Because the Sahaba wanted to, right? They were going to address the situation to put it mildly when he was in the Masjid doing what he was doing. Laqad hajarta wasi'an, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. He said, you are constricting something that is vast, the mercy of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala. So how do we fortify ourselves spiritually is that we acquaint ourselves in a very intimate way with the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, right? So I mentioned this at the khutbah today. We know this. We read the seerah and if you've already read it, read it again, read a different translation, read it in a different language with good intentions of ma'rifah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam that will translate to ma'habah, read the khusais literature about the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. What makes him so special? What makes him so unique? Read the shama'il of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Just read about how Sahaba used to talk about him, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and how they understood his reality to a degree that we can only hope and dream for, right? And these things will fortify our faith and make du'a to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala and then learn argumentation. But with adab, learn the classical arguments for the existence of God. Do research, defend our morality. I don't know what I can say in Canada. You all don't have a First Amendment. So I don't know what I can say, so I'm not gonna say it, but there are certain secular arguments you can make against certain lifestyles that are very, very compelling without even touching scripture. You can make a very compelling case that certain things are immoral and certain things are detrimental to the flourishing of society, right? So the last thing I'll say is prioritize compassion over justice. People scream justice, justice. Of course, we want just societies, that's true. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam always prioritized compassion over justice. Ghazwud Uhud, again, an iconic story, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, blood was streaming down his face and the Sahaba saw him with his hands raised, catching his blood so it would not strike the earth because he said if one drop of blood strikes the earth, then these Quresh are finished. Right? Allahumma hdi qawmi, Allahumma izhfir li qawmi, fa inna humla ya'lamun. Oh God, forgive my people or guide my people for they don't know. Preferring justice, preferring mercy over justice. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was long suffering. He didn't give up on people, like Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, Amr ibn al-Aas.  The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam didn't give up. I told the story of the khutbah today. I was in a masjid one time, youth halaka many years ago and a Christian brother was there and the Christian brother was asking a lot of difficult questions. But he was being respectful. And then, and then an uncle walked in. God bless the uncle. And he listened for two minutes and he said, you know, these kufar, why bother?  Well, after two minutes, that's your response. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam dealt with people who were trying to kill him for over 20 years and he didn't give up and they became Muslim. So, have hope in Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. Have hope in Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. Trust Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. Really just be annihilated in gratitude to Allah. A lot of people now, they have a lot of stress. People have depression, there's mental illness. A lot of it comes down to this idea that you have to make a change in the world. You have to be famous. You have to put your name out there. There's a lot of pressure, especially on young people. I'll end with this. There's a hadith that's attributed to Isa A.S. where he said to the Hawariyun, he said nine out of 10 parts of worship is silence, is Sukut. I dedicate this to the Facebook users. I used to be a Facebook user, not anymore, but obviously there's good and bad and things. But there are people who are addicted to social media and it's like their attitude is tied to the end of a string that's connected to social media. So I didn't get a lot of likes today. I'm not in a good mood. Oh, this person said that. I feel so depressed.  Look how many followers I have. Going back to Bieber, he calls them Beliebers. Sorry, I don't know, I'm talking about Bieber up here. But, you know, what was I saying? I got sidetracked by Bieber. But Facebook, yes. So, prioritize compassion, that was my point. And find joy in Allah and his messenger. So jizal kala khairan.


私は時間がかかると思うので、始まることができます。でも、前に日本語を少し語りたいと思います。皆さん、こんにちは。よろしくあなたです。聞いてくれてありがとうございます。今日は、オスポ最新のニュースについて発表しようと思っています。じゃあ、英語を戻りましょうか。私はアナヒメネットです。今日は、オスポ最新のニュースについて発表しようと思っています。では、始めましょう。私自身は、リノックスフォンデーションについて発表しようと思っています。私は、オスポ最新のニュースについて発表しようと思っています。私は、データサイエンスについて発表しようと思っていました。私の前の仕事は、オスポ最新のニュースについて発表しようと思っていました。私は、オスポ最新のニュースについて発表しようと思っています。私は、オスポ最新のニュースについて発表しようと思っています。私は、オスポ最新のニュースについて発表しようと思っています。私は、オスポ最新のニュースについて発表しようと思っています。彼らは善事明かさをつけた今回のスタイ 그ーたは私は私が日本にペーストのエラーに入れたのは彼らはお互いのプラスタイルにエラーをしている彼らは私が作ったこのスタイキをしているこのプラスタイルで今週はこの課題を紹介しますでは、この課題の前に、私たちは最近の研究や新たなインサイトをご覧いただき、私たちの女性のオスプロレポートについてお聞きします私たちは毎年毎年課題を行います2018年に始まりましたこの課題の前に、オスプロレポートについてお聞きしたいのですが、オスプロレポートについてお聞きしたいのですが、オスプロレポートについてお聞きしたいのですが、2020年3月に、多くのアシア・ペシフィックのア野の總理のあたりの参加人だけ一人になniaそのように、登場したことについてお聞きしますみなみにどこぐら辺の活動について、もう一度、私はアイティの背景で2.1% of オスプロレポートがこのリスポンデッスの28%の人たちのインタビュー者が製品や製品や政府やアカデミックのアジェンシーやこの質問はどうですか?一般的に話しているとアドプションについては去年にとっては、 MOS アドバトスピードを築く simply we compared with the last year and actually we saw a thery to increase.このアドバトスピードについて、 またいないことがあります。 I think these are good news, but we still need more things to do and more work to do to help more organizations to successfully be adopting these entities, these open source entities.その後、最近のアドバイスがたくさん出てきました。このあたりのサーフエクションは、全てのアドバイスの製品を作り、作業についてお勧めであり、メンバーのアドバイスの製品が多くのアドバイスの製品がインテリーであり、今日の日々の日々のアドバイスの製品、あまりわからないのです。生きているのですが、ここで何が起こっているのかもしれません。ネザ・ランスについては、エネルギー・セクターについては、オスポを始めた前3年でオスポを始めたことがあります。オスポと同じです。ドイツバンはオスポを始めたことがあります。マーシェディ、スポーツ、オラキアはオスポを始めたことがあります。オスポを始めたことがあります。ワ ye o セクターでオスポを始めたといわれないところから、オスポはそれぞれの organisersというものを意識させます。もちろんオスポはオスポを始めたという Nach Ronaldoのオスポがセクターでオスポを始める人によっては、ブライダーのみ elen & Elenのさまざまな batterolstyleのキ子全てに扱い兎券を認為の部分がないなら、教育 will エネルギーにからを始めたいことが도分かった brands We do that.They're doing there is a research specific of the European public sector and the open source opportunity where you can be time or into that.And, well, the list goes on and on.This is part of one of our two initiatives called Ospo Landscape that was a fork from the CNCF landscape that I guess held theppo.ここのCNCFアンスケープである あのオーリニアルのものを言われました。これから、このCNCFアンスケープの 方々の家庭といった世代のオーリニアルの方々が 見分が出ている wherever he wasきてくれました。そこでは人間が来ました。でもここでは、他のオーリニアルは 毎日ウィザーの後でこの国民が見分をしたのを 色々見といわれました。しかし、これを維持してもらえれば、皆様のようなオーカニシアーがオースプロスに立ち込みているものです。それが、このように、アーナサーはあらゆるに、アジアのパスフィシアーに進化しています。オーカニシアーがオースプロスに立ち込みます。しかし、過去年、アイシア・パシフィックのグループに関しては、青い線を見ることができます。これから、オープンソースのプログラムやオープンソースのイニシャリアについての質問でした。1. パシフィックの線は、フォーマリストラクターです。2. パシフィックの線は、フォーマリストラクターです。オープンソースは、不良かもしれません。それは、2022年にフォーマリストラクターを見ることができます。それは、2026年に、2022年に、フォーマリストラクターの銃がを見ることができます。それが、素晴らしいですね。このグループは、1.8%のグループになりました。ちょっと...no okay so there was one is I don't remember which slide was this one but like we cannot say it anyway sorry about thatah the next topic is about yeah so we want to we also analyze the value of the ospo what brings to the organization and and maybe emerging trends thatオースポーズはこの年も楽しめることができますオースポーズはこれを実際に見ることができますイメージはあまり見えないので私はそれを見ることができますそれを見ると、補助チームは補助チームのサポートチームを使って補助チームを強力してくれますオースポーズはそれをアップしていてそれに関しては、このような例えがあります。ヴルネヴァルディーズに関しては、オープンソース・ソフトウォーインプロデュースに関しては、セキュリティー・ベース・プラクティシーに関しては、ヴルネヴァルディース・プラクティシーでサムヴァルディースに関しては、セキュリティー・ソフトウォーインプロデュースに関しては、ヴルネヴァルディースに関しては、オープンソース・ヴルネヴァルディースに関しては、ヴルネヴァルディースの記事が平日の読みによってある。この話をなじむられています。それがこれが行われていること、We have been trying to try to explore this more close collaboration between security and OSPO,not trying to collaborate with OpenSSF to see how we can better leverage OSPO as a security teamand support team of security teams. Also we found out that more than half of these organizations with the OSPOオペンソーシ license compliance and somehow they were more prepared to manage risk in the organizations.And this is one of the common initiatives or common articles we did with Open SSFto explore how OSPOS can be the skill ever for open source sustainability and security.ベースプラクティーの基礎を見つけたそして次の年にもこれらのコラボレーションを詳しく読んでみることができるそして今、AIのトピックのテーマはこのコラボレーションについて私はあまりにくいことがありませんしかし、コミュニティーにモンテリーの会議をお話しすることがA.I. Compliance Program and the world of ospos and we were exploring like how some ospos were having these conversations with the compliance team on building an A.I. Compliance Program inside the organization to how to use when developing code A.I. Tools in general.And also, part of this conversation turned into a mini summit at the KubeCon event and Espology Live to try to find the intersection between ospos, legal team and cloud technologies.But this is still under discussion, though.Then, another ospo opportunity we were trying to explore in this survey was how the ospo can be the support team of engineering teams, because, well, when engineering teams are looking for efficiency and, you know, they are trying to find a solution to this problem.ospo can be the support team of engineering teams, because, well, when engineering teams are looking for efficiency and developer happiness, the ospo can play a crucial role.Some examples, the ospo can plan and set up a strategy of open-source sponsorship and project funding of the critical projects that are relevant to the organizations, like through donating to foundations or to...Oh, sorry.It's not food funds.It's false funds, like free open-source software funds.And so that open-source contribution philosophy and processes and tools are in place in the organization.Set up these practices for developers to allow them to contribute to upstream projects or even developer ambassadors programs to engage and keep the community and the employees engaged with this open-source project.These are some examples of what I was mentioning earlier of one practices that ospos are doing on creating false funds in the organizations.I believe the first one was done by Duane O'Brien, previously ospo at INGIT, and they even published a book where they saw their strategy of building the false fund.And this was then later adopted by Microsoft with their open-source software fund, Bloomberg, and even Spotify have been adopting this false funds plan in their ospo strategy.And also another nice practice I'm seeing around Europe is the false manifestos.I think this brings this high-level view and high-level commitment of the organization and serves the value of open-source and the commitment of open-source for the organization.So this is public.This is for employees and for outside people, outside their organizations, where they serve their company principles, the employee principles.For instance, in Mercedes or in Ports of why are they using open-source, why they contribute to open-source, and how do they do that.And you can go to the different websites because all this information, they are serenade public.And so regarding this, we found in this survey that organizations with an ospo were helping these upstream contributions in that they were having this upstream contribution proficiency.For instance, 96% of these organizations had an ospo, and those helped to driven significant improvements in software development-based practices.And organizations with an ospo were four more times likely to provide upstream contributions in the organization.And also interesting to find out that we asked and organizations with ospo were somehow engaging with top leading edge technology.The top ones were cloud containers and visualization and AI ML analytics.All these are great news and I'm really glad that we are seeing this huge evolution in just one year.But of course we also found challenges and we found critical and important data that we should be aware of and maybe try to work together in the upcoming years on how to overcome these challenges.The bad news was that we found out that the funding expectations to worldwide, I'm thinking, were decreased.So the ones that says funding for ospo is likely to decrease last year, they said 12% of respondents answered that.And this year it increased to 23%.And this might be because the value of the ospo might be not fully understood, not within the ospo but outside.So all the decision makers and all the people in the organization outside the ospo might not understand this and that might cause this reduction in funding.Because also there is also something that I keep hearing from ospo is that we cannot start seeing like economic benefits and people are like expecting to have economic benefits from that.Or we cannot start building a community and having community engagement in one year or in two because it takes time.And even when if the organization has a really traditional culture mindset, that's going to be even harder.You first need to work on making this open source culture in the organization and that takes a while.So what can we do?There are different things and I don't have an answer to that honestly.But I feel like being able to communicate this clear message of what does open source means within organization and how can this be transmitted.I cannot focus only on one picture of the whole framework, like not just focus on compliance because that is what my boss or my manager understood that to start thinking of open source from compliance perspective,covernance perspective, community and strategy and build education, advocacy, guidance and how to sustain open source projects that matter to you.General terms is about having the holistic approach to open source through the ospo.This vehicle to build a strategic posture and put a strategy on top of all the open source operations.And secondly, collaborate with open source organizations.This collaboration should be with other ospos because sometimes you're doing things that your peers are also doing and you don't even know because you are not communicating.And also with open source foundations, people working in foundations have deep experience on open source and they can help as well and assist you if you have any issues.And of course, open source projects and communities.And by projects and communities, I mean global but also local.And about collaboration, this is something that we try to promote in the Tudor group.It's open source, of course.And we, all the best practices that we develop as a community, it's 100% open source or all the initiatives and all the tooling is 100% open source because the organizations and the representatives of these organizations that are supporting Tudor are committed to spread and to serve what they learn to everyone.So that is our mission.I will say that we are on one side is a hospital education hub.You can find guides.You can find mind maps.You can find glossaries.You can find landscape to help people to get started and continue their hospital journey.And we are also a group of hospital practitioners and advocates.That can also help and have these conversations with you.And we are also a backup channel where hospital professionals can rely to set up and managing hospitals.And of course, we try to promote this holistic view of open source.We try to promote that community is important, governance is important, strategy is important and compliance and not just focusing on one.Of course, you can start a small and focus first on one section, but keeping in mind that at some point you should be bringing this whole framework to the organization.And we are not in this together.We have some programs because we believe that it's important.OSPOS are everywhere.And we know that even if you're engaging with other Linux foundation and non-Linux foundation projects or foundations, you might have heard or you might know OSPOS being there.And we believe that it's important to collaborate with projects that are helping the hospital movements somehow.So that's why we have this OSPOS Asset program.And for those people that maybe they are not in our organizations, but they are contributing to TUDU.And they really want to help to do mission.We have the TUDU ambassadors program for individuals committed to our mission and to help OSPO adoption worldwide.And one example of this collaboration, now that we are in Open Source Summit Japan, is the Open Change Japan and TUDU group,OSPO Local Meetup.I think some of our of the community members are around here, but I think they meet bi-weekly.And they are trying to develop an open source program office is the frequently asked questions in Japanese.All this is in Japanese because we think it's important to promote also the local activities happening around OSPOS in their local language.And they also are translating this in English.So they have both resources available for both kinds of people.And if you are not part of the TUDU group or you would like to get engaged now more,we have a new and nice get started page of four simple steps where you can deep dive more and getting both into the community.And that's all.きいてくれてありがとうございます.If there are any questions now, I will be happy to answer them.So I'm a professor at the university and the tech transfer office in my university is very focused on commercializationto the intended exclusion of open source.And I'm wondering if you can try to talk with them and talk some sense into them.And experience with that in the past, working with universities.I'm only aware of a few universities that have an office like this.So they, I think the, I don't know if you're aware of the sustain foundation.So they recently launched an academic working group that all the academic OSPOS are gathering.And they're having, I think it's bi-weekly meetings and so on.And they're really focused only on academic because I know like there are similarities,but sometimes there are specific questions and issues that only academic OSPOS are facing.So I think they're doing a great job in promoting that and helping and having this kind of community around.If you go to the Tudor Slack channel, I try to serve when those are and maybe they will be happy to help and assist.Is that on the OpenSSF Slack or which Slack are you on?Oh, no, no.So we have a Tudor Group Slack and they are having these working groups.I think they are serving through Discord, the Sustain Discord.But I try to serve it also on Tudor like every time they have some kind of meeting.Because those are virtual meetings.So I try my best to try to serve it.Hi.I work at ThoughtWorks and we often have engineers who are rotating between clients and have free time available.What's your like tips or recommendations for getting the conversation started about starting an OSPObut an organization that's enterprise focused?Okay, so I get this question a lot.And before serving my thoughts, I always need to say, your OSPO is not my OSPO.Our OSPOS are good.But sometimes this kind of question is going to be attached to your organizational culture.For instance, so we go top down or down to bottom up.And I've seen OSPOS been doing both of them and seen OSPOS starting from the high level managers.That is going to depend on the nature of your organization.And that's why we are having, for instance, this kind of spaces where you can ask this questionand not just me, serving also.There are many OSPOS, but OSPO practitioners, many OSPOS practitioners are serving their views.Just a reflection for the last talk about how to form an OSPO.I just share some kind of experience since we are from WorldCar.Just from the OSPO in the beginning of this year.And for announced information, you can put the world in your slides as well next time.Thank you.I will.Thank you.I'm from WordPress and I am trying to convince and then my company has an OSPO of about 5% of the employees.But I'm trying to involve other companies that are also using WordPress to get involved.And you mentioned the difficulty of sharing the message and seeing the, I guess, ROI.Is there one key message?For example, can studies or marketing value or anything that is tend to be, you know, helpful?So, there are different angles you can take.So, MOSPOS, for instance, are using the risk mitigation or risk management message.They start by scanning all, for instance, in their products how percentage is being, open source being used.And usually that is scarce, many people from the organizations.And that is like the first step and then telling them or trying to share with them the importance of,Okay, you're using this but you're not doing anything about that.But for instance, you have a security team.And you will never imagine you need, you will, when things are bad or when the economic is bad,you will never imagine to get rid of the security team.Why you are not having, why you're not putting investment in open source experts that can help to reduce risk of critical infrastructureof your products that you're selling to your clients.That is one message, but of course it's not the message.There are so many different angles.And again, this is going to depend on the organizational business and the organizational culture.Thank you.Thank you for your presentation.I have a question about the, as in your slide,recently some Ospo is decreased by the company.And do you have any suggestion how to show the Ospo value to the management people,especially focusing some, for example,for focusing the, helping the company's business profit from Ospo?Or do you have any suggestion?Again, I think this is a really broad question.So, I think this is what you are mentioning is a great activity to do,like, as a community and have this kind of conversation as a group in the upcoming years.Because I think it needs, it needs conversation for more people.And maybe having some kind of guide or best practices published outside.So, everyone can, can serve and can also like update this living document.I will say, but I don't have like the answer.I think it's something that we need to work on.Like focusing on better ways to communicate the value of the Ospo externally.I see.Thank you.I know it was only tangentially related to the talk,but you talked about AI compliance.What is AI compliance?Yeah, so, I think I briefly explained it, but maybe I was not clear enough.So, there were some conversations of Ospo practitioners saying that they were having conversations either with the ethical AI team or the compliance team or the security team,depending on the organization, about like AI tooling usage when developing code for the developers.They were aware of the licenses.And, you know, like now there is a big discussion around the definition of what it's open AI.Open source initiative are having workshops on that.They need, they just serve that.Well, we still need to have more and more conversations to actually define that.Because it's not like open source.It's not just one piece that you say this is open source.This is not because there is an OC approved license.So, they are having issues or similar issues when dealing with AI.And they are building an AI compliance program of the organization of processes and policies on how to use instead of open source software,AI tooling to develop software that will be injected in their products or in their services.
