Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. In a market that just seems so dead at the moment, there's a few cards that people are actually buying, and that might be the best place to trade right now on this game. We're gonna take a look at that and some market movements today, but also, we have a big SPC that could be coming as EA once again showed us the content we're gonna be getting through the rest of this week, and there's cards that you need to think about selling very soon. We're gonna talk about that in today's video as well. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's go over yesterday's content, of course, as we always do, starting off with a trend that we're starting to notice with upgrade SPCs, specifically the second type of marquee matchups. UEFA marquee matchups has dropped now on a Monday, each of the last two weeks before the Champions League, Europa League, all of those European competitions having games. The Mondays now seem to be the day that we're getting this SPC. It is very cheap to complete, except for FC Colbenhaven players have gone to the moon, so check your club. If you're doing the SPC, make sure you use it in there first, but since they're required in this one, I'm pretty sure there are players that are like 10,000 coins, so make sure you check your club for those players. Milan PSG, the packs here, they're decent, they're not bad. It is a cheap SPC to do, 83% upvoted according to the footbin machine, and that's just some decent tradeable supply, but honestly, that didn't impact prices a lot yesterday. It wasn't like we had prices dropping a ton on Centurion's team, too. A lot of these prices stayed right around the same. The team of the week, I wouldn't say dropped a lot as well. They're really around the same price for a lot of these cards as well, and even SPC fodder, as we will take a look at, really didn't drop that much. It more so went up because of some other SPCs. Now, yesterday, we also did have a 75 plus player pick. Guys, to be honest, I don't like the value here. I don't. I mean, you're turning in 11 gold players to get a one of three 75 plus player pick back. And if you haven't finished the Centurion's crafting upgrade, you literally get every three get three players, right? So it's like a 75 plus player pick that you get all the players back from inside of this. This is still the best upgrade pack. If you have not finished the crafting upgrade there, I would do those first. But I will say from the 75 plus player picks that we opened yesterday, the weight does seem to be better. We had some walkouts. We had consistently more 83s and 84s, which is fodder that we need right now. So I wouldn't sleep on the 75 plus player picks, but only do them after you finish this Centurion's crafting upgrade in my opinion. Now elsewhere as a part of content yesterday, we had an SPC that was really not expected. And it's the one that's making the most waves, the Centurion's 100 upgrade pack drop yesterday on this game, 70,000 coins to get this SPC done, guys. Again, we talked about this a lot in stream. Do I really think that it's worth it? I don't. I don't think that it's worth it really if I'm going to be completely honest. But if it's something that you want to try, think of this basically as like a gamble pack. If you want to try this SPC, because it sounds fun to do, right? I opened it yesterday, I had some 83s and 84s. I got two walkouts back out of it, but I didn't get much else. You can craft this through upgrade packs if you do want to give it a shot, but don't expect anything crazy. We opened probably like seven attendees on the stream and we got one promo card and the promo card was Sebastian Bornell, the Wolfsburg Centerback. That was our only promo card that we got. So this SPC is definitely a gamble. Again, that's what I would say to true dad's kind of like an upgrade pack, like a hero upgrade or an icon upgrade, except it's just cheaper and it has the allure of a hundred different players. You do get a lot of silvers and bronzes, which for me, I ended up putting into the Blanc SPC doing the silver and bronze squads for those icon SPCs, which is a little bit helpful. And it also could give you some of those silvers that you maybe need. If you're trying to pack a silver like Allison Trini or any of those cards that are really needed for evos, it does give you an opportunity to try to pack some of those rare silver cards as well. But really, that's just kind of a fun risky pack to do. But since it is a fun risky pack to do, and it's at least 52% upvoted, not that expensive. It is making prices move fodder was the place to be guys. These are the cards. This part of the market right now is where people are buying. You're seeing prices go up on the 83s 84s and 85s specifically. I bought a bunch of 85s talked about it in yesterday's video. If you guys bought 85s as well around 7,000 coins, they went up big. A lot of these were 82, 83 hundred, which they still are right now on the market. I ended up selling my 85s for around 8.2 to 8.7 K for basically all of them yesterday. I took the quick cash. They could go higher today though. And that's why I want to say, if you're trading on the market right now, again, a lot of people have been buying 83s like 11 or 1200 coins. I still think there's an opportunity to bid on some of these 83s and lazy sell them for above 2000 coins because this is just the part of the market that people are getting people are spending coins on the 83s to the 85s. Now, I do want to shout 82s because the more the 83s go up, the more the 84s go up, 82s might eventually start to lift off the ground a little bit as well. They're about 700 coins each on bid. It's a little bit of a risk. But if you find a couple of those and maybe start listing them at 1000 coins, if you're on a really low budget, that could be a part of fodder that could still potentially move. But really, it's the 83s to 85s. Now, it would really take another 84 times two pack or something like that to make fodder move more today. So I'm not going out and telling you that you need to invest in some of these 84s because they are inflated a lot already. You're buying at a very inflated amount. But if we do get another sort of upgrade pack like that today, these guys could continue to move. This is the place of the market that I would be trying to get bids on, buy in the lazy list, like a couple hundred coins above works best for the 83s. Just because there's a lot less tax there. People are just buying cards in this part of the market right now. Now also in forums, all in forums, they were 14,000 coins. I'm going to check their prices right now. Oh, they're still going up. In forums are even higher. In forums are 15k a piece. 15,000 coins apiece for all in forums right now in this game are 14,750. They are up and they're in demand because of that 100 player upgrade pack as well. If you club stocked in forums once again, Gigi, I've got a bunch in my club probably like 10 of them, I think I've been using a few of them in SBCs here or there. Try to use mine tradables first. But I think I'm going to hold on to some of my club stocked in forums still because I think they could go higher. But just know that those player prices are starting to rise even though we have a team of the week player pick, we have a team of the week upgrade pack that's been in this games like since the beginning. These in forums are still starting to rise because people would rather go and pay the price off the market to get the card than turn in more fodder into a player pick SBC for that. So I wanted to point that out and I want to point out fodder just again in general. We're going to talk about it a bit more in the video is I rated fodder people are starting to hone in on. They're starting to look at last year during Black Friday which is coming up in a few weeks and they're talking about buying and investing in high rated fodder. In my opinion guys, it's too early. It's too early because you have to invest now and wait basically like 20 days for it to go up three weeks. I think that's too long of a wait time. I would rather chance it and hope that 87 and above rated fodder would potentially go down before then and have another drop whether it's this weekend maybe during the week next week if the content starts to dip a little bit fall off less SBCs. I'd rather wait for that than invest now and just continue to hold. At the very most maybe a club stock where you buy one and put it in the club something like that because yes some of these cards like I wouldn't be surprised if 90 rated are like 65k at some point like they've got the price ranges to do it right. Benzema can go to 95,000 coins Lewandowski's got 100,000 coin price range. These price ranges have been updated recently and we're looking at Black Friday as a time where there's so many SBCs that are out and prices go crazy on fodder for sure but I just think it's too early right. You think about it that's a lot of time where you'd be sitting with those high rated cards in your club for an investment so we'll be watching that but I think it's still a bit too early to get invested there in my opinion. Now also yesterday some news of course we had the EA tweet right every Monday two hours before content just expect this tweet because I think it's going to be happening guys and it's cool at the same time it's like EA is trying to combat the leakers I guess on their own we are getting some more player the months this week Centurion Player SBCs but we'll talk about this video another showdown upgrade packs and a flashback now this flashback SBC I'm going to take a guess and say that it is actually going to drop on Friday that's my guess or like Friday or Saturday or Sunday sometime during this next weekend it could be during the week this week who knows but it seems also like it could be an SBC that drops this upcoming weekend it's a lot less like if you remember last week's content tweet there was like a third row and there's a lot more but this does seem like it still could be decent content and we'll talk a little bit more about that today on Tuesday also as a part of this game right now if you watched one of the craziest games of Premier League that I've ever seen my team ended up losing but it was just a crazy game with so many stoppages VAR all the madness yesterday mudrick is going to get upgraded because Spurs just wanted to get all the red cards that they could and yeah they're going to upgrade this card plus 287 rated mudrick is in coming I don't know when it's always a toss up with these cards man because sometimes they upgrade them the day after sometimes it takes them like an entire week so hopefully it's a sooner upgrade for this mudrick card I know a lot of you guys didn't my cool stuff he is sad right now but Gigi's to Chelsea for getting the dub and that card's getting a plus two here very soon so keep an eye out closely right there that's kind of all the content a lot that happened yesterday and a lot to look over but I wanted to cover it all because it is very very important and also today heading into what I want to discuss today on the video is it's Tuesday and we're talking about market we're talking about cards that are going to upgrade it is Champions League Day once again and we have ourselves an opportunity for some market movements and specifically some cards that I think you might want to look at selling because we have cards today that are vying for their second upgrade and guys we're going to talk about this a bit but after these cards get their second upgrade they're no longer live oh my gosh how much is Holland what Holland is three mil what 2.9 million coins that war a rarity spike for him three million coins for this Holland card but City are on the brink if they win today against young boys that would clinch their spot in the knockout rounds today is a big day match day four because if a team has won every single game so far in Champions League if they win today for match day four and moving on to the rest of this week they technically clinch the knockout rounds which would mean Holland this Friday would get his final upgrade and go to a 94 rated card already in November a 94 rated Holland because they would clinch 12 points which means again mathematically possible to go into the next round and that means upgrades for a lot of these cards which also means you need to think about selling if you have one of these or any card like Lewandowski right they're playing Shakhtar don't ask they're playing today this is a card you got to be careful with guys Lewandowski is up so much so much he's like 730,000 coins for this UCL level card guys this card is not worth 730k I'm just being honest his inform is 185,000 coins yes this one has a major pace boost but we always see this every single year it's these lab cards Modric I'm a little worried about although he's relatively closer to the price he should be on this market in my opinion but you just have to be very careful with some of these guys that are going to be getting their their second and final upgrade you got to sell into the hype at least sell if they win sell after the game or sell before Friday but even think about selling before the game today just look at what happened last year with a bombing after Chelsea clinched their last and the second and final upgrade for him to get a plus two I was at this game by the way last year where they clinched the upgrade with the win it was an easy win for them was crazy one of the only champions the game ever been to anyways that's just crazy that was a year ago that we were in London anyways a bombing went from 700,000 coins all the way down to 580k just a weekend after the upgrade and of course into black Friday these card prices absolutely tank there's so many examples of cards like this dropping so just be very careful especially with somebody like Lewandowski with Modric who a lot of people have invested in they play tomorrow they don't play today but this is again just an opportunity to probably sell in the hype if you don't want to risk it and also guys I want to point this out as well what cards have been going up while the rest of the market has been going down these cards the live road to the knockouts that should tell you another thing about these cards that they are over priced they are alive everybody's waiting for the upgrades you got to sell into the hype it just works like this every single year that is the way to do it sell into the hype maybe if you really want to risk it sometimes after they clinched that second and final upgrade they could go up in price a little bit before they get to the next game but even I look at like Luis Diaz man how in the world is this card 1.1 million coins I don't understand yeah it's a great card but 1.07 million like no this card is not worth that much in my opinion and he's going to drop off a live with a potential second and final upgrade coming this Friday if they're able to get that win now some cards who are maybe on their like first win maybe it's like like DePaul right DePaul they could get their second when he hasn't got an upgrade yet this is a card that okay maybe you could hold on to a little bit longer if you wanted to risk it if they beat Celtic they weren't able to beat Celtic the last match week but if they beat Celtic maybe DePaul actually goes up in value after this game because they get the W that's the sort of if you want to risk that's the sort of risk you could take on a road to the knockouts card but again be careful with these guys that are basically confirmed to be getting another upgrade because they are going to win their game today or tomorrow and they're going to get that final upgrade because once cards are no longer live they always drop off so we should see more price drops on road to the knockouts at this time around then we did a couple of weeks ago because the market itself is just dropping so much so just be very careful with those I wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about those today I also want to spend a little bit of time talking about an SBC that might be dropping on this game today Thiago Silva if my guess is it's today I mean this is an SBC that would probably not be dropping on Thursday it seems like the Thursday player species are like the ones that are just not as hype think about the last couple of weeks for the Centurion's cards for the Trailblazers Thursdays were kind of slower days I think if they're going to drop a Thiago Silva he is leaked multiple times he's been leaked this just seems like an SBC there would be today or tomorrow and this has potential this has potential to be one of those market moving center back SBCs because a lot of people would like to do this card if he has good stats and it's all about the pace right we've talked about this a little bit I want to belabor the point but in anticipate plus Thiago Silva medium high six foot if they give him 73 pacer above he's got great play styles he's got great stats some people at the beginning of the game even used his gold card with 51 pace saying that it was very good with the play style plus this could be a big time SBC that a lot of people would want to do I know we just had Blanc I'm almost done with his SBC right we've had Vidditch as well so center backs are you know plentiful in this game at the moment but a lot of people do this a prem center back could be big would I invest in Chelsea links the answer to that the easy answer is I would not because I could also see this SBC being very overpriced but it's coming at a good time right the mudrick upgrade is coming in some people have already started to invest in these links like I mean Sterling was 45k and he's up at 51,000 coins right now so I would be very careful with investing in more Chelsea links what I would do is wait for the SBC to drop and if it's going to be a really good value SBC which I would say I don't know there's like a 50-50 shot because a Thiago Silva like this could be very overpriced could be like 350,000 coins and then at that point you'd be like why would I just why would I do that when I could do Blanc or when I could do Vidditch instead but what I would say is if this Thiago Silva is very well priced watch out for other center backs on the game you think about Virgil van Dyke you think about other Brazilian center backs like Militao Kunde it would be a an SBC that could crash a lot of prices right we see this plenty of times we haven't seen that ton this year but like when EA drops a really sick SBC that a lot of people want to go and do players in that same position drop because a new substitute card on the game that people are doing instead of what the one they had so they sell those cards and then at the same time if this Thiago Silva is very good value you would see some Premier League cards probably go up heroes and maybe some of your Brazilian Premier League cards to get those green links that brand new SBC player could be rising first and the most so watch out for those sort of movements but we'll be able to decipher that right when we see the SBC if it's cheap if the stat upgrade is really good then there would be some movements there but I just wanted to preface that a little bit for you guys and also talk about fodder what I invest for Thiago Silva probably not I wouldn't if we see the SBC come out and it's like maybe like two or three squads and it's like 84 or like 83 84 87 like that wouldn't be too bad of a price I know 83s 84s have been inflated right now but if it's like one of those where it's got a low number of squads but maybe a higher rated squad as a part of it you could see some of the higher rated fodder move but usually player SBCs don't make high rated fodder or fodder as in general move as much as the upgrade packs do people love the packs they love the player SBCs left because they just try to craft those over time which right now plenty of packs in objectives good SBCs to craft through the crafting objective 75 plus player picks you know I think that fodder would not have a very high chance of moving a lot today but it's one of those we'll probably decide on the fly if you think yo I gotta do this Thiago Silva then maybe you club stock a little bit of fodder just to have it ahead of time but I don't think fodder would move a ton unless it's got some pretty specific requirements and it's a really really good value SBC now like I mentioned again we could get another upgrade pack today which again you think about 83s and 84s moving in value they could they could move in value today once again they could move up last Tuesday they did but they're already so inflated will they go higher it just depends on the content today man so be careful but this is the place where people are buying right now so if you want to risk it today you could try to try to get some 83s on bid it may be like 1.5 or 1.6 and list them for like 2.2 to 2.3 if we get another sort of upgrade pack today like an 84 double and 85 plus that is one time repeatable two times repeatable and it's got an 83 year and 84 rated squad requirement those guys are going to go higher so it seems sky high but they could go higher depending on the SBCs that we get today and for the rest of the market just continue to watch rare cards for flips I flipped the Timo Vernery yesterday for a couple thousand coins of profit couple Thiago Jalos I did lose a few coins here on this for line but I wanted to get my coins back on him I bought a Zanetti that's not doing too hot right now Valverde looking to make a couple thousand coins on but watch the rare cards the icons the heroes the out of pack specials that I continue to mention because those are the cards that you can best make coins right now if you're flipping and if you want to be just careful and and avoid the market at all costs right now because you don't want to risk it don't want to chance it that's that's fine too but also watch the road to the knockouts today because those cards are rare some people will still hold on to them for their upgrades there might be some drop-offs after the game and maybe some potential trading opportunities on the market there now really quickly we talked about the Monday market rise yesterday it was pretty small let's be honest like there was a few cards that went up nicely like Furlan Mendy went up from like 70 low 70s mid 70s that's like 83k I think Ettermila Tao had a bit of a decent rise you know Kyle Walker maybe went up a little bit Davies went up a little bit Salah there were some okay rises yesterday but there really wasn't that many insane ones from 72k to 77 like there's a couple thousand coins of profit in the military yesterday so it wasn't a mental market rise it was just a small one again I would just continue to shout that out of pack specials are the place to be trading right now on this game the informs the rare stuff is where you want to be but again like even this informed Sun card be very careful with informed Sun because he hasn't dropped off that much yeah he was 780 and he's down to 740 but this is a card that's going to end up being five 600k again in a couple of weeks time so just be careful whether that drop happens during the week this week or during one of the upcoming weekends I think you still just have to be a little bit careful with this market at the moment right now last thing I want to talk about in the video today is a card design for a promo that is coming next triple threat is the name of the next promo and Joao Felix is not a leak this is just the official card design it definitely looks like it's going to have something to do with like three players from the same club or nation or something because it kind of lines up with what we had with the triangles and also the three different players in the season progress right the three Nigerians the three Belgians and I forget the final nation in there Dutch Netherlands I think that might be the last one but this is the official card design and that looks kind of nice kind of reminds me of one of the old ones to watch promo designs but you see a kind of 3d looking here with the triangle it looks nice looks cool so hopefully we get some more news on what this triple threat promo is going to look like here in the next couple of days I'm assuming the leaks will start pretty soon but we don't have any official information yet so right now we're just kind of chilling through centurions trying to make a couple coins here or there and just hope that EA finish off centurions with a dub make sure you're keeping up to date on your evolutions as well we'll open two packs to end the video off come on smalling is that who this is stones even better 85 rated we take those we'll take that an 82 double so many fodder packs like this through objectives right now like that is great an 85 rated card that's going boom straight into the Blanc SBC I'll do a couple more upgrade packs in the club we're sitting pretty in the second and final pack is going to be is that Sebastian Holler okay not a very good pack there 83 rated for him and Toremmi and behind so I'll take an 85 though for a couple of free packs boom and that gives me 83 so I can go and do either the team league upgrade or something else that is a 83 rated squad here pretty soon so that's the video for today guys if you did enjoy drop a thumbs up on it comment down below if you have any questions and of course subscribe if you see you guys in the twitch stream today it's been native account and catch you guys there peace out

Welcome back to our lecture series Math 42-20, Abstract Algebra 1 for students at Southern Utah University. As usual, I'll be your professor today, Dr. Andrew Misteldine. This video is the start of lecture 39, which is actually the last lecture for Math 42-20, and we're going to talk today about ring homomorphisms and ideals. I also want to point out that this lecture is also lecture 13 from Abstract Algebra 2, that is Math 42-30. Let's get to our titular topic though, the idea of a ring homomorphism. If you've been following along with this lecture series, then we've already talked about the idea of a group homomorphism, which remember if we have two groups, say G maps into H and we have some map fee, of the homomorphic property for that situation, would then take that, if we have two elements of G say X and Y, their product when put inside of the function phi, this will be equivalent to phi of X times phi of Y. All right, that is to say for a group homomorphism, the homomorphism preserves the group operation. A product before the function is equal to the product after the function. So that is a product in the domain G is connected to a product in the co-domain H. Now, when it comes to rings, it's always important to remember that there is a group in play here, right? Because a ring has two operations, both addition and multiplication. So let me relabel my symbols here. So to make us think of them as rings, we have R and S right here, we'll so-called fee the map. Now, R and S, if we ignore their multiplication is a group, in fact, the Abelian group with respect to addition. So really we should be thinking of it as, okay, you have R with respect to addition, maps to S with respect to addition, right? We want this to still be a group homomorphism. So if I take any two elements of R, call them little R and little S, right?  So we want the homomorphic property with respect to the addition of the rings. Therefore, a ring homomorphism is going to be a group homomorphism with respect to the Abelian group structure of addition on the rings. That is, if we forget the multiplication, we want it to be a group homomorphism on addition. But rings have more than just their additive group structure. They also have multiplication. The second binary operation we want also to be reserved when we talk about a ring homomorphism. So just like with groups, if we take a product of two elements in R, again called little R and little S, we want that fee of R times S is the same thing as fee of R times fee of S. So if we restrict just to the multiplication, right? If you have R with multiplication and S with multiplication, we want that the ring homomorphism, it's gonna be just a homomorphism of the semi group structure. Because remember with a ring, the multiplication doesn't necessarily have all of the same axioms that the addition does. Basically for us, when we talk about rings, unless we add any other adjectives, we're only requiring that ring multiplication be associative. We don't necessarily need identity, otherwise we call it ring with unity. It doesn't have to be commutative, otherwise we call it a commutative ring. And all those other things, right? We just want, with just the multiplication structure, it's just a semi group. So really we're just asking, oh, for a ring homomorphism, we need it to be a group homomorphism on its additive structure. And it is to be a semi group homomorphism for its multiplicative structure. But of course with rings, the multiplication and the addition interact with each other because of the distributive property. So we can say a lot. But all that we require for the definition of ring homomorphism is that the map preserves the ring addition and the ring multiplication, okay? Now, like we did with group homomorphisms, there's a notion of a kernel. Now, with group homomorphisms, the kernel was a set of all elements that maps to the group identity, okay? But with two operations in mind, how do you define that? Well, like I said a moment ago, when we talked about the ring multiplication, we don't necessarily have any requirements on anything other than associativity. The ring might not even have an identity. That is a possibility. But the groups, the additive structure is always an appealing group structure. It does have an identity. In particular, this is what we call the zero element of the ring. So we define the kernel of a ring homomorphism just to be the kernel of the underlying abelian group structure on addition. That is to say the kernel of a ring homomorphism, we'll call it kernel of the, like usual, is gonna be all elements of the domain that map to zero. That is the things that map to the additive, the additive identity in that case. So ring homomorphisms preserve the additive structure, it preserves the multiplicative structure, and we defined the kernel to be everything that maps to the additive identity, aka zero. And so let's look at some properties of ring homomorphisms. The proofs of these I'm gonna leave as an exercise to the viewer right now. But their proofs are fundamentally the same as we saw with groups. So I would reference you back to that video if you get stuck on some of these, but these would be good properties to check out yourself here. So first of all, the kernel of a ring homomorphism is always a subring of R, the domain, right? Because these are things in R that map to zero. And so it's not too hard to go through the details of this thing, right? So if you take phi of R plus S, since it's homomorphic, you get phi of R plus phi of S. Like so, as R and S both belong to the kernel, you'll end up with zero plus zero, which is equal to zero, not so bad. Why is it closed under multiplication? Well, if you have phi of R times S there, well, this becomes phi of R times phi of S for which if those are both zero, you end up with zero times zero, which is equal to zero, like so. Now, as zero is an absorbing element, anything times zero is equal to zero. It turns out we don't even need both of them to be inside of the kernel. If only one of them was in the kernel, the product would still be zero, which in fact seems to suggest the kernel has a stronger multiplicative closure principle than just being a subring. We'll talk about this in a later video for this lecture. It turns out that this is actually what we call an ideal. An ideal is then the ring analog of a normal subgroup. Remember that normal subgroups for a group, it's a group but it's also closed under conjugation, which is a stronger multiplicative closure than just a standard subgroup. Kernels always for group homomorphism, kernels are always normal subgroups and vice versa. The two notions are actually logically equivalent. We will see that for ring homomorphisms, the kernel is equivalent to what we call an ideal which has a stronger multiplicative structure than just a subring. But for the moment be, we won't worry so much about that. You can also argue that the image of a ring homomorphism is a subring of the co-domain. So image of phi is a subring of S, right? And I'll leave it to you to show that. The image of the identity, I should say of the zero element of R will map to the zero element of S that always happens with the ring homomorphism. Because after all, if we forget the multiplication, then a ring homomorphism is just an additive group homomorphism and the identity has to map to the identity, all right? In which case zero then maps to zero in that situation. A curious observations, the next one here, the image of the unity, the one element of the domain will map to the unity of the image, right? Which this may or may not be the same thing as the unity of S. It might be the S doesn't have any unity, but the image will, right? And the argument is fairly simple, right? If I take phi of one R and you times it by something in the image, right? So this would look like something phi of R. Well, by the homomorphic property, this becomes phi of one R times R. And as one R is the unity of R, this becomes just phi of R. So phi of one R acted like the identity of just the image. The problem is if you take some element of S, some element of S that doesn't belong to the image, the homomorphic property doesn't come into play here. You might not necessarily get a full blown unity. Well, why is that the case? Well, for groups, it didn't matter. They always mapped onto the identity, but for unity here, for the ring multiplication, you might not necessarily get the unity of the ring. It could actually be something different, right? And the reason for that is that with regards to the homomorphism on multiplication, it's only a semi-group homomorphism. For addition, it is in fact a group homomorphism. And with semi-groups, we only are requiring things about associativity. You can't necessarily guarantee that the identity maps to the identity. And why is that, of course? Well, basically what you'll see is that with a group homomorphism, the proof that the identity maps to the identity requires we use something about inverses. Inverses don't necessarily exist in a general semi-group. In particular, when it comes to rings, we don't have any assumptions about the inverses of elements, right? Unless we start talking about things like integral domains or fields or whatever. But for an arbitrary ring, we don't have that. And so that's what prevents this potentially from connecting to the unity of the ring itself.  Then the image of phi itself will be a ring with unity, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the same unity. That's, again, the thing I'm really trying to emphasize here. The image will be a ring with unity, but it might not have the same unity as S. So it's not a subring with unity. It's just a subring which happens to have a unity which may or may not coincide. And that's where this thing is gonna map over to. Now, if we really want the unity of the domain to map to the unity of the co-domain, we might have to add in an extra axiom. So we had those previously. We might have to write in the axiom that the unity of R maps to the unity of S, right? If we do that, we often refer to the homomorphism as a unital ring homomorphism because that extra axiom's there. With our discussion, we are assuming ring homomorphisms are non-unital. That is to say, we don't have any guarantee that the unity of R maps to the unity of S. It'll map to something, but of course, we're not claiming that it'll be the unity of S whatsoever. So that's a very important little caveat. We have to mention when it comes to ring homomorphisms. The remaining properties are fairly straightforward and identical really when it comes to their group analogs. If you have a subring of the domain, its image will be a subring of S. Now, be of course cautious that even if this R prime is a unital subring, that is, it's a subring of R and they have the same unities, then I can't claim that phi of R prime is a unital subring of S. That is to say, it'll be a subring of S and if R prime has unity, then phi of R prime will have unity, but it might not be the same unity as in S. And we've explored examples like this in the past. Looking at the next one here, if S prime is a subring of the co-domain, then its pre-image will be a subring of the domain R itself. Now, one again has to be cautious when it comes to unity here, that even if S prime is a ring with unity, phi inverse of S might not have any unity whatsoever. Because it could be that phi doesn't map onto the unity of S prime so that it might not be present in the pre-image. And this is again, getting back to the idea of a unital ring homomorphism, unless we specifically require the ring homomorphism to preserve unity, in which case really a unital ring homomorphism is a homomorphism between rings with unity. Unless we require that, then we don't necessarily guarantee those things in general. That's why these statements are listed as subrings, not necessarily with unity, because again, there's some issues going on there unless we require the third unital axiom there. But things like commutivity is pretty simple. If R is commutative, then the image will be commutative as well.


And that is incredibly destructive. Western civilization came into being, or flourished, in the intersection of two ideas that happened in the 18th century. And that is the idea of science, the idea of reason, the idea of rationality. This is the scientific revolution coming out of Newton and all those scientists in the 17th and 18th century. So the idea of science and reason and the idea of individualism, and those are not unrelated, right? Who thinks? Who uses their minds? Individuals. There's no collective consciousness. There's no collective mind. We don't choose values for all of us. Only you choose your values. Only you can figure out what's good for you. So individualism reason. Reason can only be used by individuals. When those two things, think about the Declaration of Independence in the United States, where it was said that each individual has an inalienable right to their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Not accident that I used that term. And that intersection with the scientific revolution, bam, what you get is the industrial revolution. What you get is life expectancy is going from 35, 35. I'd be dead. Most of you are entering the last few, you know, decade of your life, right? That was life 200. Only 200 years ago. Human beings have been living for 10,000 years, 20,000 years, 100,000 years. I don't know the science of this, right? 35 years was the life expectancy for much of that history. And the only last 200 years that we've gone from 35 years to 80, for you guys maybe 100, that is the consequence of capitalism, of individualism, and of science. And science is under attack. It's under attack philosophically, and it's under attack by government funding. Because government decides what's good science and what's bad science. Capitalism is under attack. Capitalism doesn't exist anymore. We all live in various socialist countries to various degrees. And individualism is under attack. We all believe that we should live for the group in some group sense, right? In some sense. Everybody has their own group they want to sacrifice for, right? And selfishness is considered an evil and bad thing. So the probability of all us reversing all those trends and getting things back on the right track and fixing all our economies and fixing our cultures and fixing our lives is not zero. But it's not 90% either. I think it's low, but you know what? You only live once. And if you don't fight for your own life, what are you going to do? Roll over and play dead? This is about fighting for life. This is about enjoying it and finding whatever the best life that you can live in given the circumstances. My life is dedicated for fighting the fight. I want to save Western civilization. That's my goal in life. And I spend many, many, this is my passion. I enjoy my work, whether I'm successful or not, you know, who knows. But yeah, just look at Greece, project 20 years in the future, that's America. If nothing changes. I mean, that's just the numbers. I'm a finance guy, right? Just the numbers. America is going to have as much debt as Greece and as an awful situation economically as Greece has right now in 20 years unless something changes. And I could give you the numbers, but I don't want to bore you with that stuff. James. I just want to come back to some of the points you made about lying with respect to integrity. So assuming that integrity is obviously the consistent application of your virtues in pursuit of your values. And you spoke about kind of automatizing that process. I'm a big believer that we can kind of recondition ourselves to, you know, automatically pursue these things and achieve these things and affect our emotions. But what would you say should be someone's response to themselves? Without the intention, they accidentally were inconsistent in their application of that or their pursuit of that. They didn't realize it at the time, but in hindsight they looked back and thought, oh, I didn't quite do what I should have done then. What would you suggest, you know, what should someone go through in terms of dealing with that? So look, we all make mistakes. Mistakes are part of learning about life.  Look at Steve Jobs. You know the story of Steve Jobs. He was fired from Apple, right? And his life seemed over. And he started a company and the company went nowhere and he didn't do that much. But he learned from that. He figured stuff out. He used that opportunity to grow and to be better. The same thing happens when you slip on anything, you know. When you slip on your diet, when you slip on your exercise routine, or when you slip in lying or in a relationship. Learn from it. Make amends. Making amends is important. I didn't talk about justice and the virtue of justice and what justice means. But you want to be just to the people. If you've hurt somebody accidentally or if you've hurt somebody because you didn't think it through and so on, the first thing you need to do is fix it. Make amends. Don't come down on yourself other than in a sense of trying to fix it. The purpose is to fix. The purpose is to live, right? And you're not viling some kind of intrinsic code that somebody is going to come down with a bolt of lightning and strike you. So it's all about you. It's all about how do I take what I did and turn it into something positive that I can learn from, that I can build on and I can make better, right? Again, the focus is always making your life better.   You could, again, you could do this for a whole day easily. But integrity is this consistent application of these virtues to your life. Rational virtues, right virtues, right? So it's about not just saying I'm honest, but being honest all the time consistently in the sense in which we've discussed, right? It's about it's not about just saying, yeah, you know, rationality is okay, but being rational and applying it. So, you know, when I encounter something new that I've never encountered before, so I can't rely on the automatic on what I've automatized. I stop for a minute if I have the time, right? If it's an emergency, you don't have time. But I stop for a minute and I think it's, you know, what's going on here? Why is this happening? What are my options? What's the rational choice? What's the irrational choice? What is a probable outcome? Two days from now, five years from now, 400 years from now. You know, what's 400 years in exaggeration? My lifespan, right? I don't really care what happens in 400 years.  No, I mean, this is about being self-interested. It's about me. I can't even project. I can't think in terms of a thousand years from now. I mean, it's meaningless. So, why bother? So, think. You know, stop, evaluate, figure out. So, let me talk briefly about emotions if we have a moment because it's a really important topic. What are emotions? Where do they come from? Right? You feel stuff. We all feel stuff. It's good. Sometimes it's bad. Sometimes it's pleasant. Sometimes not. But we have these emotions that come up. Where do they come from? Why do we feel fear in the night when we see a shadow flashing in the background? Where does that come from? What's that? It comes from previous thinking that we've done or previous experiences that we've had. So, we've come to certain conclusions and you do this through our childhood without even knowing. What are those conclusions?  Is it rational? No, but you came to a conclusion about dogs when you were three that they're bad nasty animals and now it's hard to get rid of it. Not everybody comes to these conclusions, but we do. We come to some conclusions. And our emotions are consequences of ideas, consequences of conclusions. And the best example of this is the fact that our emotions change. You fall in love with somebody and you spend some time with them and you learn some new stuff about them and you fall out of love with them. Why? Because of the new information you have leads you to new conclusions which leads your emotions to change. I used to get teary-eyed when I lived in Israel every time the national anthem and flag would go up and I was very patriotic and a big Zionist in those days. To some extent it's the law, but I'd get teary-eyed and everything, but at some point my values changed and I decided, for example, to go to America. And now I can hear the Israeli anthem and I have no emotional response to it. I just don't feel it. My values changed. My thinking about what's good for me and what's right has changed. My emotions change as a consequence. So your emotions change based on your thinking, but some of the thinking you're not aware you did. You might have done it when you were a kid. Some of your thinking might be flawed. It might be mistakes. Emotions are these automatic responses that are results from these thinking. You want to embrace your emotions. You want to recognize your emotions. You want to live through your emotions which you don't want to make decisions based on emotions. Emotions are not cognition. They're not thinking. They're outcomes from thinking. So unless you're an emergency and you have to work on emotions and instinct because there's nothing else, think, think, think because you can't always trust. I'm not against emotions. I'm all for emotions because that's how we experience life. But they're not tools of cognition. They don't tell you what's right and what's wrong, what's good and what's bad, what's true and what's false. They can give you signals. They can give you hints and you want to use that in your thinking. But the ultimate arbitrator of all these issues is your mind, is your rational thought. This guy here was waiting patiently. Okay, we'll get him. If we make a decision to decide that we're going to tell the truth moving forward, does that then imply that actually what we need to do is look at it retrospectively and sort of almost right the wrongs that we've done in the past, particularly with people that are close to us in our lives? You know, I'm not a psychologist, but I would suggest that if there are people important to you in your life going forward, then the answer is probably yes. That is that you can't have a healthy relationship with somebody going forward if you've deceived them in the past. Even if they'll never figure it out, you will never be whole with that relationship. There'll be something always that keeps you apart. So, what do you have to do with everybody? No, but I think certainly if anybody you think you're going to have a relationship with, yes. And again, contacts and how you do it, all of that is nuanced and I leave that to the professional psychologist, I'm not an expert on these things. But the real issue is to make a commitment and the commitment is, you know, you guys are focusing primarily on lying, but I want you to focus on the thinking and I want you to understand that lying is destructive to thinking and that's why you shouldn't do it and that's the context in which you shouldn't do it. So, figure it out, each one of you has different circumstances, each one of you lives your own lives, figure out what's right in your life. Within this context of thinking, thinking, thinking, I want facts, I don't want falsehood, I want my relationships to be healthy and truthful and good and growing and flourishing and to do that, I can't lie or I shouldn't lie. Hi. I've been reading some books on happiness and self-confidence and you also mentioned those two concepts quite a lot in your talk and you mentioned that both can be achieved but more recently I stumbled upon the idea that the idea that happiness and self-confidence can be achieved are based upon a flawed mental model of if I work hard, then I can be happy or if I get a car, then I can be happy. So, the idea was that both happiness and self-confidence are innate or default states, something you simply have and you spent your entire life being learning how to be unhappy and not self-confident. So, there's a lot of, I hate to call it science because I don't believe it is, pseudo-science out there that suggests that we are innately happy or we innately have self-confidence or we're not innately happy. There's actually so-called science that suggests that some people are born with a happiness gene and other people are not born with a happiness gene and therefore some people will never be happy and some people are always happy no matter what they do. I don't think any of that is true. I just think it's bogus science and it's bogus research. I believe that happiness and all human values are earned. They are things that you gain. The problem is that most people, most people, I mean most, 90 plus percent of people don't think about being happy. They don't plan for being happy. They don't even consider happiness. They say to themselves, I want to be happy, but they don't know what that even constitutes. They say, oh, I'll make more money, I'll be happy, but they haven't really thought about it. They haven't thought about what more money means to them, why they want more money, what they're going to do with it, is it symbolic of something virtuous? And indeed most of them are ripped to shreds by the fact that they know that to be really good, they must not be happy. There's a dichotomy in our society between morality, goodness, being just, being noble, being virtuous, and being happy. Immanuel Kant, the famous German philosopher said that if you meet somebody who's happy, be wary of them. Be very suspicious of them because they're probably immoral. And the reason they're immoral is because to achieve happiness you have to think about yourself and selfishness is a bad thing. I mean that's the logic. But that's the logic we all have in our heads because that's the logic conventional morality has taught us and we've absorbed. We might not hold it consciously, but it's in there. It's in your subconscious. So most people achieve happiness and they feel guilty about it. And that undercuts their happiness. And then they say, oh, but I've achieved all this and I'm not feeling happy because the theory doesn't work. No, you have to get rid of all this unearned guilt. You have to unload it.  It's not achieving for the sake of achieving. It's achieving for the sake of being happy. Now let's say you really want to become, I'll take an example out of the found head, you really want to become a painter.   But you achieve, your peers love you and you make a lot of money in architecture, but your real passion is to be a painter. Do you think you'll ever be happy? Probably not. Probably not. And you see, people's achievements are measured by the wrong factor. Not by their values, not by their standards, but by societies, by their families, by their neighbors, by other peoples.  You decide what achievements count and if you do that, you will gain happiness. You know, I know it. You know, I wasn't born happy. I cried a lot when I was a baby.  This is a Buddhist, you know, kind of passivity is life.  If that happened, we'd all die.  It's that thought, it's that work, it's that energy, it's that creation. That's what life is really about and that's what happiness will really lead to and I would be very suspicious of happiness books generally. I'd be very suspicious if anybody tells you that, you know, unthinking, not thinking, not engaging, not being passionate, not being going out there and doing the stuff that you love to do is somehow detrimental, you know, that doing all that is somehow detrimental to you. It's not true. We done? Thank you all.


So now we are going to have a panel discussion, which is very interesting and very interesting format. So the panel discussion is going to have tech for good, build the world you want to live in as the topic. And the two hosts are Alexis and Romain. And I'm going to hand over to them. We're going to have a few short talks. So I'm going to play video J here and then switch between the different talks. So I hope I get everything right. Let's see how this goes.  All right, thank you. All right, hello everyone. We're very excited to have you here for a kind of a special session during the Python. My name is Romain from Numburli. And at Numburli, Python is basically at the art of everything of our very own little tech world. And we're very proud to stand by the community, this great community around Python, and all Python that we're part of. At Numburli, we've been sponsoring our Python every year since 2014. And since we've been offered this sponsor talk, we thought about doing something a bit different this year. So it's a sponsor talk, but rather than talking about us, Numburli, the people, the technology, the company and what we do, we thought about talking instead of we're talking about a nonprofit organization and over the stage to those nonprofit organizations that we work with through our foundation. Our foundation is called Milmercy Impact. And it works with the three speakers that we get.  Those speakers are connected together by their daily engagement in making use of technology for causes. They go beyond our usual boundaries, meaning that it goes a bit outside of what we used to do with our technical skills. And that's a very interesting topic, I think. I think we think Numburli that he's gonna resonate very well with the diversity of the Python community. It's a really open-minded community that is already always open to be challenged and be open to new point of views and experiences. So, first of all, we're gonna have Margot from Latitude who's gonna talk about the various ways we can use technology for greater good, for the common good, sorry. Second, we're gonna have Briot from Confenix who's gonna share about his experience teaching code to inmates to help them rehabilitate. And we're gonna have a quick return of experience, let's say, by Sebastien from Numburli who actually work with Code of Phoenix. Last, we're gonna talk about decoders. Unfortunately, it is what cannot be with us today, but Alex is gonna jump in and talk about this organization that work to help women, especially from disadvantage neighborhoods to get into tech in the first place and manage to take jobs. All right, so without further ado, let's hand it over to Margot from Latitude. Hi everyone, thanks for having me. I'm Margot, I work at Latitude, which is a four years old NGO that's working in the tech for good sector. At Latitude, we'd rather call this a committed and responsible tech rather than tech for good, but I'll get to that in a second. Just to start on before, I wanted to say a big thank you to Numburli for having us and for offering us the chance to give a talk at the Euro Python to spread the word that tech and social innovation are just two sides of the same coin. So who are we at Latitude? We define ourselves as a community of tech for good enthusiasts. So we are people working in the tech sector and trying to promote a committed and responsible technology. So what do we mean by that? First off, what's a committed technology? I'm just gonna start off with a few examples of what do we mean by that? One example is a NGO that we work with that is M.A.O.S, which is a global charity working to end homelessness. We worked with them on a data science project. And one of the goals was to develop a pricing algorithm recommendation to help the companions that are working at M.A.O.S and that get to collect all the items that have been donated to M.A.O.S. And then after they put that on the e-commerce website and so we worked with them to develop a algorithm of pricing recommendations. A second example of what would be a committed technology is a mobile app this time that we worked on with an association called ARES, which also works on the inclusion sector. They had an issue because they had people that were performing security audits in their companies and they were not able to do it on their own because they did not speak French. They couldn't understand the paperwork and we worked with them to develop a mobile app that would enable them to run the security audits in full autonomy. So that's another example for us of how you can link a social answer, I mean an answer to a social issue and at the same time a technological breakthrough. So with that being said, there's much more examples of what's a committed technology. But for us, for instance, if I just wanna draw a bit on another one, there's technologies that have been developed to prevent wildfire through image recognition. So in each topic and in each area of the social and environmental issues that we are facing right now, technology can actually make a change and help us solve these issues. So that's one side of what I'm talking about. But on the other side, technologies still have a tremendous impact on environment and on society. So it's interesting to develop committed technologies. It's also interesting to think about the responsible coin of technology. We can go on to the next slide, please. Yet what we see today is that 15% of the people in France that are aged 15 or more have not used the internet this year. Another data that is striking is that 80% of adults now spend three hours or more in front of a screen each day outside of their professional activity, which used to be 47% in 2013 when they first conducted the study in 2008, sorry. When they first conducted the story, which is a massive surge. And what we believe it lets do is that we also have to work on this side of technology. And the great news is that us as tech actors, we can actually work on this. So if we go on to the next slide, there's a bunch of organizations trying to create more responsible technologies. And I'm gonna give a few example here as well. One of them is EMEI's Connect, which is an NGO working to help people with digital inclusion. So if we take the example of Yveline, she decided not to use the internet 20 years ago, and now she's been unable to access government services in formal for, for instance, to pay her taxes, to get health insurance, those things haven't taken away from her because she's unable to use the technologies and to use the websites on which those are designed. So this NGO, EMEI's Connect worked with her and they're helping all of these people to acquire the minimum digital skills in order to use them. So that's one example of an organization working on the topic of digital inclusion. Another one that we have right here is Saint-Plon. That organization is working on building a more diverse tech and having more diversity in the conceptors of technology. So they offer free training for people from disadvantaged background to get into the tech industry. And that's exactly what happened to Savouge, who arrived in France in 2014 with a refugee status. And he was trained by Saint-Plon freely to become a web developer and now he's part of the tech community. And then we can go into the next slide again. So what we mean by responsible technology, it's a technology that is able to control the social and environmental externalities of technology. And at least we really try to work at conducting our jobs more ethically. So not only using technology for the common good, but also how do we create those technologies and how do we make them more ethical? And with that being said, you might wonder now, what do we actually do at Detitude? We have three major programs. The first one is that we're running a teaching program in computer science schools and engineering schools. We're enabling students to work on tech project for charities, for social organizations. The second program that we have is a program to help companies create a tech for good culture within their companies and try to apply all of those responsible ways of doing tech in their work and in their everyday jobs. And a few data points to finish on. So far now we've been training about 6,000 students every year with our program. We have more than 3,000 people that joined our community, 20 schools and about 15 tech companies, but we're hoping that we're gonna go a bit more and more and more companies are gonna join the community and the tech for good movement. And the last thing that I wanna finish off with today is that if you guys are interested in that, if you want to understand all of the, we can go on to the next slide. If you want to understand what are today the major tech issues or what are the links between tech and all of the social environmental challenges we're facing today. And if you want to act on those with your technical skills, you can join our community. Right now I'm just very sorry, because it's all in French, but we're gonna get our new website that's gonna come out, I think normally in September. So everything will be available in English. Well, thank you very much. And now I'm gonna head off the stage to Brilleux, who's actually gonna talk about an example of what we call a committed technology. And just fun fact to finish on, we worked on a project with Code Phoenix. So some of our students from our program have worked on a project for Code Phoenix, but I'll let Brilleux explain that to you much better. Thank you, Margot. And thank you also to Numbully for letting me speak during this event. So my name is Brilleux Le Barse. I'm here to talk to you about Code Phoenix, which is an NGO that I co-founded four years ago. And I am a director of this NGO right now. We deal with the professional reintegration of those released from prison. So first of all, since I'm not sure you know about much about the French prison systems, maybe a few words of context, the prison system in France, as in many other countries, does not work exactly the way it's supposed to. Indeed, according to our laws, prison have two purposes. First, to temporarily remove people who are deliderous to others or to society, but also to reintegrate them so that they do not come back to prison. And in France, with more than 60% rest of the vision within five years of release, it's tough to say that it works perfectly. It has become a vicious circle from which it is difficult to break out. That leads to a logical problem which is chronic prison overcrowding. In France, in some prison, you can find three people living in nine square meters. We are often shown as one of the bad students in Europe for that. Around 1,000 people sleep on a mattress laid right on the floor. So it is difficult to, after such a time in prison, in these conditions to reintegrate easily society. And moreover, it takes a lot of aspects to reintegrate fully society. It takes to have a roof, to have strong family ties or to rebuild them, to have access to health care, to have a stable job. And we decided to work on that last aspect for having a stable job when we go out of prison. And for now, we found out four years ago that not a lot is being done yet for this aspect. Indeed, less than 20% of inmates have access to vocational training. And if they have, or if they have access to a job, they don't really have much choice about which training they can choose. It's only for branches with a little added value and not necessarily in high demand on the labor markets. And in the same time, in parallel to that, we can observe, and I'm sure you already all have, that there is a lack of developers on the job market. We just let to change a little bit the power relationship between employers and job seekers. And at Cut Phoenix, it's exactly what we want to do. We want to use that change to help inmates break the vicious circle of recidivism. But since I've said that, how can we make people from inmates to web developers outside? We have built a program that is based on three pillars. The first one is vocational training. The second one is work experience and then support and counsel. So first, we select a group of eight people that will be trained in prison as web integrators during six months. They learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or tools like Bootstrap or Git. Once they are trained, we hire them in our web agency still inside the prison for the remaining of their sentence. So they can work on real and concrete missions for clients on real websites that we will be able to show to future recruiters because web development is all about professional experience more than a curriculum. Moreover, it enables us to go further in the training and teach them about, for instance, JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js or React. So in parallel to the training and the time in the web agency, we also prepare them for their job search and we prepare them also to the professional reintegration. So we work on their resume, we do mock interviews, and moreover, we also bring professional developers in prison to meet them, speak with them, have peer programming sessions and so on so that they can demystify a little bit the digital world. Finally, when they are released, we offer to help them find a job if they want to continue in this range. That being said, setting up such a program as you may wonder in prison, in a prison environment is not that easy and we face a lot of constraints and to conclude this presentation, I talk to you about the three main constraints we face every day. The first one and maybe the most important one for us is that we can't have access to internet in prison. It's completely forbidden in France. So we teach the web without the web. The famous Google is your friend does not apply to our learners. That means that they don't have access to code samples, to Stack Overflow, to tutorials, et cetera.  We did set up an intranet so that the people that participate to the program can have access to the resources we put on it and work together on a project using a GitLab. But it's never enough, it's never like the web so we have to create every time more and more resources and this takes time and we are always looking for help to create a collection of code samples, collection of code animations and so on. The second issue we face a lot is that our learners even trained even after a long time with us still fight against a persistent imposter syndrome because the digital sector for them seems way out of reach and this is why we try to bring as many web professionals inside of prison to talk to them and to desecralize and demystify the digital sector for all learners so that they can think themselves really as web developers and not just as a hobby. Last but not least, the web agency that we have is really crucial and central to our program. It provides new job opportunities in prison. It allows us to offer continuous training to our learners to pay them, to accompany them, to have a link to them for a long time and despite the lack of internet access prevents us from being as fast as our competitors or the fact that our developers are juniors, we managed to already worked on more than 10 websites, the latest one being for the French Ministry of Justice and we are always looking for new clients because our learners are always demanding new projects and are always really happy to find out about new websites and to imagine how they can work on it. So if you need the web agency and you want to help us participate to the professional integrations of inmates, don't hesitate to give us a call and to visit our website. And so now that I said everything, I hand over to Sebastian who has come with us in prison as a volunteer and I think he'll give you a little bit of feedback. Yes, thank you so much, Brio. First of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity and for everything that you're doing. So I'm going to briefly introduce myself and then give you some feedback about my experience in Code Phoenix. So I'm Sebastian, I'm a French data engineer at Numberly. I work full remote from Taiwan, so good evening. And I was a speaker once for Code Phoenix as a CSS instructor. So it's very intimidating to think that you're going to go to prison and you're going to teach inmates to do CSS. But I have to say the reality was completely different from anything I could have expected. Sure, you're going to prison, it's a big building, there's lots of gates, but once you get in there and you meet the inmates, it's just a group of eight really, really, really sweet middle-aged men. They're so happy that you're there. I came in, they gave me tea. They were really, really, really sweet. I guess they must be super grateful that people take from their time to go all the way out into the suburbs, into the prison and take their time to teach them. But for me, it was just a very positive experience and it always feels really great to be able to give back, especially to people who might have made a mistake and just want to get a chance to redeem themselves through tech. It was my privilege to be able to do that. So thank you very much, Breyer, and thank you, numberly, for giving me this chance because not every company, I suppose, lets you take part of your work time and go do something like this. But so overall, yeah, a really positive experience. If you want to talk to me or ask me more questions about it, you can find me on the wonder me in the little numberly box. Yeah, that's it for me. I'll be giving the mic back to Alexi. Thank you very much, Sébastien. And hi, everyone. So I'm gonna jump in at the place of SWAD who couldn't make it, unfortunately, for personal reasons. So I'm gonna try my best to present you Decodeuse, which is the name of our nonprofit organization. So Decodeuse's mission is to help women from disadvantage, sorry, neighborhoods get to start in the tech industry. And they do this by coaching them and teaching them how to code. So if we go on the next slide, yeah. So what they're doing is to work on creating a positive impact and to shed a light on some of the people, especially women, let's say even worse from these advantages neighborhoods into the tech industry. They have some numbers that are not so nice to see to be honest, when you are as privileged as we can be in 10 years, only two points increase in the women in the science in IT globally. It's not very much. So I think any kind of engagement like Decodeuse can do make a difference actually. The unemployment as well is twice as high for this population that it is for the rest of the territory. So the ground and the trend is definitely needs more help and more energy into it. So how do they do this on the next slide? They won't just like Brille said, we have a lack of developers, of people capable of doing tech. So that means also that on the bright side, there are opportunities actually. But there are still those women who are hard to reach and when you see that yeah, only 30% of women in the tech industry, it's not that much. If you then add that 8% are living in the priority areas are actually trained in technology. It's a lot of things that we can improve and it's also a lot of opportunities. So for this Decodeuse has put up three programs that we can see on the next slide. So the first one is called Tech Dalid. I like this put of words. It's a one week action. So it's a short thing to just prove I guess to some of the women over there that it can be done. So, hey, like an eye opener, right? In one week, I'm gonna show you what it is, what you can do and how you can engage into a longer training and break the ice so that you can go on. The second one then is Tech Dappower, which is a real professional training program. It's the one year course. So this one is more intensive. It has tech professionals participating, internships, interviews, trainings, boot camps, tests, et cetera, et cetera. Everything you need to actually become a professional developer. And then there's also how you accompany the people that you've worked for and work with, sorry. And it's the Tech Dappower for the guiding side. So it's empowerment, working on how you can increase and improve your professional confidence or the imposter syndrome, like you said as well, which is always pretty high when you were not, trained or socially prepared for this kind of job. It's something that you have to put energy in to get through. And it's great because I know that we have at Novalier, we have been privileged to host one of those sessions. So we just landed some space and the coders came and with all the participants to spend some time at Novalier and they could have a session with everything they needed. So that's also another way we support this kind of organization. And the feedback is pretty great. So we are very glad that it's going on good. I think the last slide has some nice numbers because when you put all this energy, you are always happy to have some real and concrete results and we can fairly say that the coders have some nice numbers. So about job offerings and their capacity at acquiring and feeling that they have technical skills, obviously the boost of income in our field that is better, I guess, that the typical jobs that they could turn to. And their average salary is pretty good for a junior. So thank you and congratulations to SWAD and all the people working at the coders. They are making a difference daily. Latitude evidently as well, Brio and Code Phoenix as well. All those organizations are making tremendous work and having an impact is outside of the usual tech for tech. And I think, and I encourage also a lot of other companies to join this and to support all these actions every day. And I'm handing over the mic to Roma. Thank you. Thanks everyone. I just wanna end up with two side notes and they are still very important before we go into the Q&As. As Alexie talked about with SWAD slides, there's an emphasis that needs to be made and some effort needs to be made also on the gender equity in tech in general. And in that, around that subject, we had the recently webinar at Numburli with Naomi, if you remember Naomi, I think she, last year during last year's edition of the Euro-Python, she had a talk about gender equity and we had the chance to have her again at Numburli with Orelige and François-Henry Pinot during a webinar last March. Regarding this very on-topic. So there's a lot to be done and there are some great information there in that webinar. So if you got a time and you want to, you can have a look. The last thing before going to the Q&A is we would like to take this opportunity just a sec to thank the Euro-Python organizer and all the volunteers that are doing an awesome job and they've been very accommodating to us with this session that is a bit different at the others, especially with all the speakers and everything. So thanks again to everyone at Euro-Python. The conference this year is awesome as always. So thank you, thank you everyone involved. I guess we can move on to the Q&A now. Okay, Romain, thank you very much. Yes, this is a bit challenging. It's the first time I'm doing this VJ thing, so please bear with me. A bit. I'm going to try to put you all up on the screen now. Try that like this. And then we do have two questions here. So actually I think they're both for Brio. So the first one is, did you get much enthusiasm from employers? Imagine some employers might be prejudiced against ex-offenders. Well, we're still a very young organization. We've been training people only for two years in prisons yet. So we don't have much numbers to prove that the training and an experience in web development is enough to counterbalance the weight of an offense that you committed at any point in your life. That's a bet we are making with our learners for now. We're still waiting for the first people to come out of prison and wanting to go back, to go to the digital branch to prove that it works. Okay, thank you. So there's a second question. I'm going to put that on right away as well. So this is also related to the prisoners. And conversely, how do you avoid employers who want to exploit these people? So I think this is about working in prison that can be associated with exploitation. So our customers and the employers don't employ our learners in prison. We employ the people we work with in prison. So we fix the rule and we're trying to be above the standard in prison for now. And outside of the prison, it's not supposed to happen because they are protected by the work rights in France, so which is not the case in prison. But in prison, we are the sole employer of our learners. Okay, thank you. So let's have another question this time to Code Phoenix. Do you also teach technology in women prisons? There's women prisons, okay. Pacific prisons for women, yeah. Not yet because it's not easy to find women in prison. It are really not a lot of them in prison, fortunately for them. In the only 3% of the general inmates population are women in France. And I guess it's about the same rates in other countries which asked the question why. And we will never know exactly mostly and really surely it's about education. But so in France, there are only two prisons that are only for women. So it's not that easy to find them near where I live. But it's something we want to do in the future. Okay, great. So, well, I have yet another question for you, sorry about that. Do you know if any government started similar programs for prisoners? So I know that before us, the first one that took action and developed the program for inmates to learn web development is the United States. They started their program in 2013, I believe. I'm not sure if they also have a web agency but the program is called The Last Mile, if you wanna check. And they are starting to have a really good result and really good and really encouraging results. Of course, it's not the same environment, work environment as in France, but it gives us courage to continue. And in Europe, we were the second ones after England, which started a program in 2016 that's called Code 4000. Okay, interesting. We had a keynote last year at EuroPython by Jessica McKellar and she was heading the Python and Prison Program there and basically helped to talk about how open source can change a criminal justice system. Another question. So Desgoudes looks amazing. Is there anything similar in English? In, well, UK English. I guess UK English is fine as well. To be honest, I don't know. We'll relay, if you want to get the answer, please relay it in the channel so we can pick it up and we'll make sure to forward it to some people that Desgoudes will know more about their similar environments. I don't know, I'm sorry. Okay, excellent. And final question. Actually, there's one of the... Oops, sorry, I don't know if you can hear me. Yeah, there's an organization called TechFugees. So they run in France, but not only, they also run in England, in Italy, in Greece. And they have a really similar program to Desgoudes. I mean, it's way smaller, but they just started a program. So they're teaching refugee women how to learn, how to code and get into the tech sector. And they're also helping on the employment section. So really similar to Desgoudes. There's probably way more, so it's still really good to ask a question. What did you say they were called? It's called TechFugees. TechFugees, yeah. Actually, I think it would be good after the talk if you'd go to the breakout room knee and then perhaps answer some additional questions people might have after this last question. Maybe you can also share some extra resources with them. So the last question is, are you selective about which inmates women get the opportunity to learn, or do you try to say as inclusive as possible? So for Code Phoenix, to select the people who are going to participate to the program, we make sure they know how to use a computer. That's the minimum we ask, because that's not the case for everyone in prison. There's really a lot of people that's never used a computer or very few. I thought people had to do uppercase at one point, so we want them to know how to use a basic computer, and afterwards we have a 20-minute talk with them to understand their motivation, and that's the key to the selection. Okay, thank you. Anyone for Deku Deuze? I don't know. I guess that's something similar, but I don't know. Okay, great. So thank you very much for the session. I think that was a very nice overview of the different NGOs that you're working with, and thanks to all the NGO representatives coming here and sharing their thoughts and insights. Thanks to Nambeli for making this possible and sponsoring us. Right, if there are any more questions, then please go to the breakout room three, the knee room, and then you can reach out to Nambeli and all the NGOs there as well. Okay, we're gonna have a coffee break now. See you in a bit. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.


Hello everyone. Thanks for tuning in for my presentation, which is on the topic elevating open source events to retain contributors. A little about myself, I'm Makotsha Priya, a DevRel and developer at the WeavingTepps community have community management experience with hash node, also a front-end developer, a blogger and a community enthusiast. Something to ponder upon, have you ever attended an event where you felt out of place, like you didn't belong or your voice wasn't heard? Or from an event organizer perspective, where you had trouble finding long-term contributors after your initiatives. I'm pretty sure you must have. So, what could be the possible reasons for these event drop-offs? First is the lack of interest. The event theme content may not align with their personal preferences or priorities. So, if the event does not offer content that is relevant, valuable or engaging, two attendees, some may drop-off. Second is the community exclusion. There could be lack of diversity and inclusivity in the community itself. Third, scheduling conflicts and unexpected circumstances. Something which we can't do anything about but yes, should be taken into considerations. Situations like conflicting priorities, last-minute obligations, transportation issues and so on. And lastly, some common factors like inconvenient event timing, high ticket prices or requires a significant travel expense, inconvenience of travel or event details or updates not being communicated effectively or in a timely manner or could be overbooking because of that there would be a crowded audience and attendees might not have a very good experience and this might lead to frustration. So, these are the possible reasons for event drop-offs. So, what could be the possible solution? So, the first being is event focus. Deciding the focus of your event is the first and foremost important step as it sets the scale, tone and pace for the rest of your event planning. So, first, figure out what your purpose is, why you are gathering people together, who are you looking to gather together and how do dates and timing work for that particular group? There are so many events out there already. So, how your event sets you apart from the others and why would people want to attend yours? These are the questions that you need to ask yourself and your team. In short, make sure you are bringing an event with value to a group that will value the information. Once you know the purpose and the intended audience, you will be able to quickly determine the other parameters. Next, we need to create a comfortable environment where everyone feels encouraged to participate. Firstly, create spaces where new contributors can ask questions, learn and receive guidance from more experienced contributors. Secondly, you can provide mentorship opportunities and also create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued and respected regardless of their background, experience level or identity. Then, we need to focus on building connections and fostering collaborations beyond the scope of a single event. So, here are some ways you can achieve this. Organize regular, imposing meetups where they can connect, share their ideas and work. Then you can also host online events like webinars, virtual conferences or Q&A sessions. You can also create online forums or chat rooms where the contributors can connect, share knowledge, ask questions and collaborate on project development. Then, I strongly believe that to retain contributors, we need to recognize and appreciate their contributions to open-source projects. You can do this by giving the contributors a shout-out on social media platforms. You can also create a section on the project's website to highlight their work and could also invite them to future events, conferences, giving them an opportunity to showcase their skills and receive feedback from the community. A clear roadmap is essential for retaining contributors and keeping them motivated. So, here are some benefits of having a clear roadmap. So, they can see the bigger picture and understand how their contributions fit into the project's goals. And they also feel that they are part of the project's development and that their contributions are valued. So, by having clear roadmap and communicating it to them, we can ensure that they understand the project's direction and their value in it and also their role, of course. Now, some quick tips. So, first is code of conduct, which is the most important aspect. It's not just about having the code of conduct. It's about knowing how to actually execute it. So, it is important to distribute your code of conduct before and during events and regularly point people to it. So, you could do this using registration panels, websites, email communications and also mention it at the keynote stage. You also need to make sure that whoever is running your conference knows how to address any code of conduct issue that comes out. Second is diversity. So, we have to do a lot of this intentionally to overcome that. So, for example, you are looking, proactively looking for a speaker with name recognition but also if the speaker can be a woman, that is great. If it can be a person of color, that will be better. If it can be from a gender minority, fantastic. Third are the post-planning and the pre-event planning questions that you need to ponder upon. So, first is who are you going to engage with? How is it going to be publicized? What is our follow-up strategy? What is our pre-event strategy? What is our post-event strategy? What metrics do we need to use? These are must-have questions that you need to add to your own event planner. And lastly, the hashtags, which I personally find it very useful because if you have a unique hashtag on Twitter for a certain event, you can actually go back and look at all the tweets from three years ago or two years ago from that event. Socializing and networking have always been a big cross at the conferences, right? So that's why breaks should remain frequent and certainly be placed between every talk. Someone has rightly said that the true value of open source is not just the software but the community that builds and supports it, right? So feel free to reach out to me by email, Twitter, and I would love to answer any questions if you have. And thank you everyone for joining. You have been a lovely audience.
