e bit about that and The the next bar which you can barely see our zoning administrative permits so an administrative permit is something it doesn't need any reviews It's a permitted use. I want to build a house. I want to build a shed. I want to build a fence those take one day That's always our goal in our office is if we have a permit That's complete and ready to go. We should be able to issue it within 24 hours And that's what we strive to keep doing The next bar it's kind of a greenish bar those are design review permits The thing to note on this one is actually just look at 2017 and 2018 You see a big drop On those two green bars as it goes across. That's actually by design. We talked when we met with you To talk about the new zoning we talked about we were going to build this new abbreviated zoning process where if you Have a DRC permit you don't have to go to the DRB. It used to be you'd go to the DRC Make your case the DRC says this looks good and then we would put it on a consent agenda item Two weeks later to get on the DRB so the DRB could vote by consent to approve Well, we just said if everybody agrees We'll just say the zoning administrator can issue the permit if you disagree with the DRC then you'd go to the DRB Well that Obviously made a big difference in the amount of time it takes to get a permit through the DRC because it dropped from 23 days to 5 days So that's a little bit of good news there the final bar the blue bars those are projects had to go through DRB and We actually had to truncate the tops of the first two bars in 2014 and 2015 when I got here in 2014 We had a lot of problems getting some decisions out In fact, it was almost reaching six months to get decisions out We made a number of big structural changes and we've brought that down to 40 to 30 days There's there's a certain amount of you can't get much faster than that Because you have a 15-day warning period. We have to go and review applications So really 30 days to 45 days is a target to shoot for a lot of the delays of these permits Also are not the fault of staff Applicants many times are the reason it takes themselves longer to get applications approved at the DRB. They either don't put in full applications Change applications don't show up for hearings and that would show up the push our time So I those times are actually quite good to be in about that 40 35 to 40 day range So the final are just a couple of things going forward So if this was just going to be a little bit of an update on how things are going in the permitting world downstairs Building permits Chris Lumbrough who's a building inspector. He's doing an excellent job But he's under a lot of pressure. He's got a lot of stuff that's going on The timing of permits is starting to slow. So this is going to be a little bit of policy question The delay, you know, what at what point is the delay unacceptable? I haven't heard complaints from builders, but it's worth keeping an ear out for But that that slip in time starts to to build up but it's not a result of anything other than the fact that just Chris is is swamped and He's doing the best that he can to keep keep things going Chief Gowens has gotten certified within a couple of months maybe a month or two ago So he also can now do inspections, but he also has a full-time job But it will be helpful to have that When I talked to Chris about what his concerns are Trying to meet his obligations as the building inspector his his number one concern is actually for the extras He would prefer to see some items like the health officer junk ordinance vacant building ordinance These other ordinances that creep in and steal hours and in days out of his schedule that he would rather be focusing on The building inspection role, but he also is the health officer, and he also is a junk Officer, and he's also the vacant building officer. So Those are the things that kind of come back my you know my job as as kind of as director I I'm trying to keep an eye out for the short and the long-term concerns If this development Amount of development is going to continue into the future. We'll need to have some conversations about expanding the department to get an assistant, but We're kind of playing a lot of things by ear at this point And we will we will see how Chief Gowens now being certified How much does that help and we're just going to really keep our ear out? We don't want to burn out Chris He's a really good inspector but It's it's busy. So regarding the zoning permits We've made good progress improving permit times. We've increased our fees So Sometimes Increase in times the amount of time it takes us to kind of get things done are a little bit higher this year Due to the new regulations and a new zoning administrator at the same time So it takes time to train people Meredith is our third zoning administrator in four years I'm pretty good at training zoning administrators, but it still takes time And she's doing a great job. She's a quick learner And the zoning fixes will help some of the delays that we have right now are just from the little things that kind of caught us We're like, oh, I didn't think that was gonna work that way We will get them to you soon and you'll kind of see what we mean Again there is some Potential need for office help downstairs When it comes to Audra's workload and Meredith's workload Meredith is still part-time. She's now for she's four days So it's better. It used to be when I originally was hired one of the changes was That helped to reduce those times was the fact that it was a half-time zoning administrator that we moved to three-quarter time Now 80% so that's helped to improve those times but Other things have also kind of come to a stop the community rating system e911 We really have not been doing a bunch of projects that we've been wanting to get to We're keeping up on the zoning at the expense of not being able to do some other projects So it's just another thing to keep on the radar. It's not something I know there's a lot of departments with a lot of needs and I'm more concerned with Chris's but Chris's fees actually would pay for his own assistant. I mean He has a department with an expense line of eighty-five thousand dollars He's now generating two hundred and ten thousand dollars in permit fees for us to hire an assistant for him could literally come out of his own fees So the zoning permits less so so we're gonna work on how we can reshuffle and try to make the zoning permits administration work a little better, but So that was all I had and I will take any questions Couple So you pointed out the Turnover in the zoning administrator Do you think that has anything to do with it being a part-time position or just a circumstance? I think that was just circumstance in those I think anyone who met Sarah who recently left this year would know she was just a tremendous Asset downstairs and lives in Waterbury and the job opened up in stow and her husband worked in stow And I don't think there was anything we could have done to have kept her here Okay, so it's not we don't need to make some alterations to the position No, I've always been open to them as well whether it was Sarah Whether it's Meredith to go and say if you want more time Let me know I would rather work with you and work with the council and work with Bill on making sure we have Something it fits them and then is there I'm I'm kind of wondering if there's a way we can take advantage of the fact that you know We get the spike in fees and then you know some years is probably going to be less And is there a way to move some of that to temp work or something so that when there is When there are a lot of fees coming in and there's a lot of work to do we can you know Be really agile and bring somebody in for that time period but not be kind of locked into having a Permanent position there if that's not a permanent status and I don't know if you've done any thinking about that or We've talked, you know a chief and I have talked a bit about different things whether we had People on the in the fire department who may have had time and trying to go and work things out We really just haven't found anything that was going to fit that it takes Somebody who's got the training and experience He's you know has sort of certifications that need to be met in order to fulfill the role so So none of that office work could be For the zoning side. Yes, that's a question that we've had and it is a little bit more recent That's kind of come up and I think this is a discussion of how important some of these other things are we can just Move some of those in on one one and things just wait for those two different fiscal year and Just let the staff concentrate on permits and that could kind of fix that I guess that that work crunch Assuming that next year is a little bit slower That's the thing is we just don't know we don't know what comes up down the line. I'm being being successful Getting projects going in the downtown has its pluses and minuses and one of them is My questions were very similar in about the part-time zoning administrator, but also There are other things you refer to that we're not doing besides 9-1-1 addresses So do you have a list? I mean do you have a besides an inspector? Additional somebody to help out with that. Do you have a list going on in your head of all the things you're pushing aside? besides Not nothing that's been written down. It's been a lot of For the people who work on the projects day in and day out or for the permits day in and day out It really is first come first serve so as things are coming in this way It's just a you know conveyor belt working on these projects. So What happens when that line just never stops is that other pile that's over here that? Are the things that you know the e9-1-1's in the community rating systems that you just don't ever get your arm back into but and your zoning administrator was Being a staff person for the design review committee. Yep. Is that still true? Yes? Yeah, so Meredith staffs the Historic Preservation Commission and the two Review Boards design review and development review Part-time person that's amazing. Yeah, well it's 30 32 hours, but yes, she's Okay, very impressed further questions. This is actually This is very interesting. I mean that graph of You know the increased Building fees coming in. I mean it's sort of it's not surprising because that seems Like that would be true, but it's just neat to see the numbers. Yeah Supporting that so and it's it just just to give you some ideas The parking garage fees are not in there and the waste water treatment facility is not in there So those are two fees that are in the six figures probably so The fees and for even though it's our project is even though it's our projects those are That's interesting Some of it is the left hand paying the right hand in this one But it's but it but my department needs the resources to pay the people who do these do all of the work, but Just remind Chris. That's our money. Yes Yes, the fees are not made out to Chris Lumbra Okay, well, thank you Okay, if anyone ever has questions you're more than welcome to Get in touch with me at the planning office. Okay. Thank you very much All right, and so we did skip the communication strategy thing for now. We'll come back to that So moving on to the VLCT municipal policy and actually you're our Representative to the VLCT at the upcoming meeting, right? Here y'all may regret that. I don't know. It's fine I know you wanted to talk about some of the details of this, so I'm gonna turn it over to you Okay, so I have spent some time going through the VLCT Basically their positions on a number of issues and I Have said I've identified a list of probably one two three four five six seven eight things Not probably eight things a list of eight things That displeased me And I'd love to get some perspective because I think I am going to be speaking for all of us So what I would love to do if it's okay with you mayor is sort of run through my list I know Jack had some things that he had identified as well. We may have actually identified the same thing It wouldn't surprise me So what I was thinking is I would love to run through my list of things quickly or maybe not But so let's see so section 3.0 2 Item number 2 in that policy Could you mention the page numbers as you're doing this there are no page numbers in the online version so, but it's 3.0 to corrections mental health and addiction and And number 2 which VLCT supports ensuring that offenders housed in community settings receive Reasonable DOC supervision and access to support services that ensures the safety of the community There have been a number of issues across the state where offenders have actually been targets as well and so I I think it's our obligation as a community that works with Offenders and with victims and with community members that we are mindful that it's safety concerns for everyone and so I had proposed Ensuring that or something along the lines of just either Adding Victim and offender safety because both of those issues are things that come up routinely to that I realized that these are just things that Montpelier would be proposing and they would require Additional buy-in from other people, but I think that it's quite important When members are released into you know when offenders are released into a community that we are a community that Does our best at welcoming members of our community who are committed to Living here and working here and making this their home and being supportive in that It's a I have more of a process question and I could see this going either way we elected Ashley to do this and we could just say go do what you want or We could do something a little Kind of informal and just have her go through the list and get kind of a thumbs up thumbs down But the other thing that occurred to me was That she might want a more formal Vote so she can say I went to my city council and we unanimously voted to take this so I'd be happy to hear what But Ashley would like to do I Would love to be able to say you know the council voted on these proposed changes from Montpelier and You know they supported them or I don't think I Would raise ones that the council didn't support but Some to me some of the policies particularly around corrections mental health and addiction are really problematic What thoughts what would you be your preference me yeah for your own comfort that's great But the group assumes you have our authority When you're the delicate vote that we give you the vote you have it so right it may Strengthen your wording But I mean I'm not the power confident that there are enough people that would agree with us about this anyway I mean I I would feel comfortable with that, but I I think it also is stronger if we do vote Do you want to just like tell us what the yeah? So again the same section 3.0 to number three Adherence to miss municipal zoning and improving housing for offenders I just want to make sure that everyone is clear that all of the sociological research shows that offenders fair far better in community release programs when they're actually integrated into the sort of heart of the community and not sort of pushed outside and I read that as saying they basically want to keep offenders sort of It says lodged near the general population, and I don't think that the near the general population is appropriate Funny I read that meaning instead of being put out here, but they are part of the general population So is there a word choice there you could put? Um, I just part of the general population. I think we've located within the general population Something along those lines Integrated in yeah some something like that, but all right sounds good three oh two Number seven I want to ask for clarification and guidance because I'm I'm not really sure what this even means Collaborative solutions to handle incapacitated persons between all affected stakeholders. It's really And I'm not really sure what incapacitated just it doesn't really seem to mean anything And there's on three Point zero seven number one. I think that there is an inaccuracy. Sorry. I'm just opening it up 307 number one allowing of Vermont law enforcement officer to make an arrest based on a warrant from another state that actually Happens they're permitted to do that as long as it's an extraditable warrant and we can receive That information The prosecutors then receive that and file petitions. So it's just not clear to me sort of what they're getting at there That's already the status quo Provided factors are met. So maybe clarifying that with them again 307 number three. I believe that that law was well That regulation was changed the Department of Health regulations that permit prosecution for Bath salts and synthetic and designer drugs though. It's an ever-evolving list So I just there's like a whole process to changing those rules And it's not something that prosecutors and law enforcement do it has to come from Department of Health So I think that's an important clarification to make 307 number four so marijuana has already been legalized I know there was opposition to that from VLCT. I believe but I would propose that we Strip I mean it says in any discussion of marijuana legalization while legalizations already happened So I would propose that in any something along the lines of in any continued conversation about taxation and regulation of marijuana or something along those lines Identifying and addressing the impact on cities towns and villages yada, yada, yada I just it's already been legalized So I don't know that as a community we want to support rehashing the legalization of is this last year's policy paper that they're just putting it It's dated of 2018 2019 So and I thought that too, but I double-checked the dates and I was like that's strange. So Let's see 404 404 number one So Support so the the statement is holding municipalities harmless from liability for any hazardous Material incident at any facility that conforms with the state and federal permits and regulations I understand what they're trying to do there But it just seems like if there's negligence on behalf of the municipality or something I I'm not willing. I don't think we should support indemnifying ourselves ourselves when we're negligent that just seems a little too self-serving for my comfort Let's see and my biggest issue which is I don't usually every issue is a big issue for a hill There is an entire section found in 407 And so in in four point zero seven Everything focuses on opiates which really Misses the mark in a significant kind of way As your county drug prosecutor, I can tell you that we are seeing a huge resurgence of crack cocaine in the area we are seeing Prescription drug abuse, and I think that it's short-sighted for anyone to solely focus on opiates at this point I think it's a larger conversation about addiction generally and I Would propose that That be changed and I I think Come on my peeler has a problem, too, and it's not just opiates So those were my sort of big issues Oh I agree with everything said Yeah, no actually to be honest this document kind of scares the hell out of me There's some real blanket statements here that I worry I worry that like Montpelier taxpayer dollars are going to pay for lobbyists to advocate Positions that might be completely contrary to What we believe in as a community here So the biggest one for me is VLCT poses all unfunded mandated programs And there's a whole section on that And I think about what came up at the state house this past year I'm talking about like increases to the minimum wage. I'm talking about paid family leave programs That initially was intended to be a shared cost between the employee and the employer So if we are an employer, right? Would we actually be lobbying against minimum wage increases or pay family leave? I believe in some cases we could and I really respect a lot of the people who work at the league And I think they do a lot of good work in other areas But I remember being in testimonies when we were looking at expending the coverage for you know firefighters who would Be entitled to a presumptive disability for different types of cancer And while the league might not actually come out explicitly opposed to it Maybe they'd be bringing a witness from a smaller community who would talk about the impact this would have on their insurance rate So this might be a larger conversation here But I really don't like our resources going towards lobbying efforts such as these here That said I have one little tweak on one of these There was another big one that I had and I'm really glad that you said that it's related tangentially in The 1.08 public record section churches or religious purpose organizations are exempted and I think that if a religious organization is receiving dollars from Governments of some type that maybe they should be subject to the same Requirements that all the other recipients would be Or or if my alternative was which no one would ever go for Based on a constitutionally protected purpose Because there are many But I would just propose that we propose striking That whole section except those exempted based on a constitutionally protected religious purpose. I mean I Don't really want to be like I So I have to tell you my brain is starting to shut down It's getting late and I apologize So I'm starting also. So Ashley had a series of suggestions I'm kind of a little unclear as to like how much of the suggestions that you're proposing You would like Ashley to take with you and I know Jack you probably had a short list as well So just to like make this clear Before we get to kind of your suggestions I would actually love to have a motion on whether or not we are in favor of Ashley's Suggestions on the whole if we feel like we're ready. We want to do that or do you want to just say go ahead? God bless. It's okay. We already voted and give her representatives Then maybe we don't need to we don't fair enough if you want to any objections to that Would you prefer to be able to say at this meeting that you have the backing of the whole council? You do I think I yeah, okay Everybody knows what I'm gonna say and I added Connors piece And you'll find more when you sit there in the discussion let me tell you For the discussion on Connors More yeah, I just had one specific one to add 2.06 rail Number five entails VLCT supports extending passenger rail service to Burlington on the western side of the state by 2020 In our strategic plan we support a commuter rail up to Burlington from Montpelier. So I would suggest an amendment adding VLCT supports a commuter Creating a commuter rail service from central, Vermont to Burlington great I like it Cool, that's it for me Jack you had something I thought and then Rosie and one okay. Yeah, it's it's funny just as a general observation It's a mixed bag because there's a lot of stuff in here that is well within the city's interest to support like All the stuff about full funding of payment in lieu of taxes and stuff like that One of the things that really jumped out at me as I was reviewing this was 1.09 sub sub 3 That says VLCT supports Requiring the implementation of all state rules regulations criteria and other administrative actions affecting local government operations 30 days after a publicly noticed hearing And I don't fully know what that means but it again as with the unfunded mandate thing it sounds like they're saying that State Statutes or regulations or state rules and regulations Wouldn't apply to the municipalities until There's a public hearing held So it seems a little weird to me, so so I don't know What to say this could be one of those things where there's just Yeah, there's There's little in this law in this long document. I think there's little likelihood that the Body is going to change its positions based on what we say, but I still don't think that means we shouldn't argue for what's right Rosie had I must oh I must say from the discussion at the fair some decisions do get changed I mean there is major editing that happens Yep, Rosie takes hours so reading through the public meeting law section It just occurred to me that I I feel as a public servant that Public meeting law could really be updated to make our meetings more effective in our work together more effective Particularly with regard to electronic communications and it seems to me that there's no reason that City couldn't have an electronic message board that was publicly visible Through which we could communicate to each other and not have to wait for meetings to have these little you know Things that could be solved and a few messages back and forth But we can't do that through email because it's not a public medium So I that's kind of a big thing But I feel like League of Cities and Towns is well positioned to ask the legislature to do some thinking there about More efficient allowing changing public meeting law to allow for some more efficient communications between public bodies and Also thinking about How does public meeting law apply to front porch forum and Facebook and other electronic medium because There is a lot of room for opportunity there There's a lot of discussion about open meeting laws and electronics And what section was that in Rosie? I think it's the one oh 1.03 Okay, thank you. Yes. I Got it. Okay Anything else team? Go a hill. Okay. Great. Thank you Those how it goes Be curious to hear like if or what gets changed. I'll give you the filtered distilled that would be The highlights Okay, so I Think it might make some sense to go. I know I said like I'll put communications at the end But we could do I think we could do it right now Short version actually but let's just go to the Central Vermont solid waste district municipal service programming grant program Through further conversation, we just realized that if we wanted to do anything even if it was just for compost this grant was probably not going to be enough and if we Want to actually pursue this we should have a more robust conversation and maybe even think like it is itself not a matching grant but It's proud like what like I said, it's not enough to just do a feasibility study of like what if we just wanted to What if we wanted to do just composting even if we wanted to think about all three Either way five thousand dollars on our own would wasn't going to be enough and if we collaborate with Barry even ten thousand Actually may not be enough So I just want to flag that for a future discussion Think about I want to put on your radars to think about as a potential future priority And maybe not like but just give it a I just want to put it out there And we can we can talk more about it another time That's it for now on that there's another round of that deadline, which is May 1st. So we have we have some time for that, okay Can we do the communications strategy update is that one urgent? No, I don't think so put that off Can we is that okay? We put it off till are you waiting just for that? Okay? Okay, another time then and We're gonna set the date for the second public hearing. She probably makes it actually gets back But the There's something I was gonna say about that. Oh Right As we think about What? Date we want to set for this special meeting. I mean it right now. It's for Halloween 1031 we should probably not do it then it seems like a bad plan Yeah Yes So and the it's only you know tentatively put on 1031 because it's a Wednesday So if we can look at calendars to see when might work What are our limits again? It's it's in the it's in the document. I'm all Think through 27th Yeah, I was gonna say the 26 10-day limit is 27 oh, yeah, oh there it is right it's like today between October 27th and November 5th Yes, yes, you're you're totally right there. Okay. Oh Gosh my life is so complicated Okay of the eligible dates October 29 30 and 31 and November 1st our Monday through Thursday and November 5th is a Monday Let's just go through it 27th anybody 27th that's a that's a weekend. Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'm looking at the wrong month first week 29th Put down here in the bottom Monday nights Okay, I'm sorry Okay, October 29th Monday night Was it thumbs up if you can do that one or hands whatever no Connor cannot is that true? I don't know you don't know. Okay, so let's look to look at another one the 30th No, you don't know I might have something but I might not and I don't so you guys if that ends up being the best one Okay, so maybe the Tuesday, but we'll come back not the 31st we should not do that November 1st Okay, so two people are for that November 5th November 5th Sorry, not November 5th. Oh, baby Okay, so I think we have a winner November 5th Is that like the old-fashioned doodle? It's like the analog Okay, so we're gonna say remember remember Okay, so the 630 sure Okay, 630 Special Council meeting or hearing really is that sorry. I'm just looking at the election is on the 6th Is that? That's a good point John. What do you think about that? I just Feel like from the public perspective the day before the election is kind of late to be I agree That's a good maybe you guys should go with it the one that the 30th was work for everybody else and I will try I'm Okay, I'll do my best 30th. I can actually do the 29th 29th yes, well you were still a question. I don't know about either of those but You could do the 29th, but so it doesn't matter either one, I'm not sure either one So the 29th and the 30th are equally as good Okay, let me just raise a question. Is it really that important that we not do it on Halloween? Yeah for public participation Yeah, I'm giving trick-or-treat out. I mean six well so do I we just moved our office to College Street So we just bought 800 pieces of candy No, we can't we can't do it. Um Let's go with the 29th 29 Monday 29th and you see if you can make it and hopefully that works out Okay, again 630 Council hearing Okay, I think that wraps everything up No other business Council reports Donna, would you like to start sure? I'm gonna go home and finish my packing I'm heading off to Sweden tomorrow And I will I'm not sure what will happen with connecting with you on the third But I wish you all well with your vote and hope the parking garage does get voted to be on the November ballot Thank you very much Right on Friday night. I got to fulfill a boyhood dream and do a police ride along Oh It's super fun. It was all the best things I've ever done so I was paired up with Corporal Phil Brick there and It was kind of like just touching to hear How everybody got into law enforcement, you know and sort of the distinction between cultures from community to community and We took a spin looked for illicit behavior didn't find any which was a good thing a couple taillights out But I was just a very grateful that we live in the place we do With this force here. It definitely wasn't focused on sort of punitive measures You could tell it was about helping people out as they walked by there So now that was great. I would encourage everybody to do it Nothing to report other than tomorrow morning, I'll be at baggitos 8 30 to 9 30 Oh Nothing to report There is a demonstration that is in the works for the state House lawn Tuesday night at 6 p.m The state just entered into a contract with core civic which used to be corrections corporation of America To house our inmates there. So hopefully some folks can come out and join us. Oh I think that's me next I'm gonna pass Just very quickly. Jamie will be in touch with you all we're gonna try if we can put together a picture outside the city council We usually do the annual picture lined up here in front of this wall or down there. Yeah or down here And the goal is to try to get us somewhere outside in fresh air We were once under the all the the the guy pictures Can we maybe like replace some of those pictures? Oh, yes There's no women up there. We were gonna try to get that committee together to figure out what to do with them Even if they were they just need to be somewhere else Redistributed and like maybe a little more diversity I think uh, we're still finding a date. What's that? Yeah, we'll we'll try again to find a date for that The I don't know what the official name of that crew is a better art group So if you want Conor to do this, it's right here in my drawer. Okay. Okay, great. Thank you Okay, um, so without objection we're gonna adjourn Approximately 10 28

No, I'm gonna let him melt slow He won't even have to recap a kneecap and I definitely letting the shell go So that just leaves my feet that I can stamp him with right well No, just look at what they name the event you and maybe then you can see how it was over from the moment He walked into the elbow You should be afraid to be stepping because I get strange with this pen and the ink creates bars that I use as a Caged for protection so there ain't no use in him aiming his weapon But if he was the bar with the daddio then this is shot of Ireland and he's Leonardo DiCaprio the way I Sonario and cut his brain into section And if that don't work maybe inception cuz I bet any money or getting spun when I hit you with so many punches You won't be able to tell if you're awake or you're resting Even if you did put time in for this battle It was a wasted investment because I wrote this while I was building a zoo and I was sure to put Three G's in so each line had a stable connection I've got what it takes to beat him he should know this he should have been pre embarsing instead of just be seeing stars when I show biz But now you've got a job lined out for you and that's me G And you ain't got what it's taking in terms of the Qualifications for you to beat me but now you're in the view of the interview and there ain't a thing that you can teach Me but since you thought I would work for him as an opponent. I'ma give business business when he see V Listen Jack, I know you wanted that debut in so bad it hurts But truthfully to me you were so bad it hurts that whole approach verse heretic We saw you crash and burn you couldn't match his word because you were describing his acting how heretics a man of Religion in the rapture word then we saw a preacher beat kid like all the boys in a Catholic church This fights a nerd nothing more angered to use as horsepower. You're just a one-trick pony We don't feel the actor at your cactus jack a prick homie So think slowly this mankind and know his whole style needs to sink low-key But even if he changed accent came back we wouldn't show this dude love like Mick Foley Time to see kid lonely you made a small rise But here's where I demo him ban provided two weeks notice So here's where it reaches a peak moment for you this will seem hopeless So keep focus because if they seem choking then this contract seals broken meaning if there's a sign of dotted lines I'll tear him up like I ain't happy with the deal quoted Yeah, so he knows first that here's where he'll face plan I don't read the way your bars are thought of and placed at all the temple your entire performance is pace Fam so you race pass with a list of mortals and class it as great rap before Delivering a punch with the same force as a straight jab that she should bar was seen as hard But the main fact was it took nearly all of your last round just to say that I haven't see I haven't seen the longer reach to make a point since Michael Jordan in space job So fuck kid in a week effort. I ain't here to be second I'm here for Jack pot like three sevens because if he reckons what he preaches is deemed best then he set for Depression beef him till he see seven and beat kid down in a peak mess with my feet weapons till his teeth left in a heap Severely kid verbal needing speech lessons. Yeah, because this whole clash below me So don't go thinking the punch in his rapsal.  Let's go boy.      Wow. What a life you live It must be quite a risk to try to think the amount of white you shift to supply your wrist with three tonne worth of ice for it Nah, that's why I don't like this prick because you're the kind of rap because you that's why I don't like this prick Because against heretic you stated that he was ruining the culture, but you couldn't silence him because you're the kind of rapper that Wraps about a watch to mention the price of it when real rappers don't need a watch to tell the fans what time it is That's why I'm the kind of guy you miss now I'm questioning what your life is That's why I'm the kind of guy you miss now I'm questioning what your rhyming for this style of yours is cute But after a while don't all get kind of bored of the rhymes you sport I mean his name describes it all kid verbal. It's all childish talk. That's why he's dead the moment He's blinding talk to his lifeless corpse inside the morgue you can treat this bottle as kaplunk broth Cuz you but you can realize the ball has dropped because today was the final straw Yeah, because he the kind of dude who covers rappers we don't want to exist to change is the pied piper to him because when he's To change the pipe to change is the pied piper to him because when he's tuned plays you'll see a following kid If there's one thing I want you to remember tomorrow. It's this this whole genre We live will be better off if he didn't step a foot onto this ring and his mother had decided to just swallow this kid These raps could put a hollow in him But when this author threatens to endorse the session unlike Stephen King you get written into Horacore and torture methods so the yeah kid love kick verbals got performance levels But it's clear from his name. We'll be talking immature forever.   He's got three rounds and I hope he plan these it's not it's another name on the bottom of my boot And it won't be Andy's Now your boys are looking at you like you're in too deep giving you that awkward glance because I've done told him I'm the lord of this ring and you're moving like an awkward with an awkward stance I'm playing a role of the director ripping your words from the script and you can be certain of this because you're getting torn apart Fucking let's break him down because frankly on board of bars your persona makes you appear more than hard And you clearly put the foot in dog But I'll be stamping this imposter because you remind me of the phantom of the opera the way you stay over the crowd's head Just so you can avoid the performance part Me I never wore a mask. I put my soul down like it's Motown I walk into a ghost town and perform my art and I'm not bragging I'm just showing you how we're more apart because I came to catch your body And it will be a hell of a lot easier to catch if that body ain't got a performing heart I'm done with busy. Oh, thank you. This is a lost plot.  I've got to give it to want to be so Very close Sensations Back here don't flop all fucking day, you know the school as I said in the intro I make sure you go on the pole at the end of this battle and vote for who you think won We offered them to do that promo cuz we're ready to bother my judge anymore They both want to judge the shots in them. It was a kid verbal bus bizo as a for one decision and they went for bizo and


What's up everybody, Jason here for jazzy's casebricks.com. We just sold out 2023 Panini Select Baseball. This is a 12 box casebreak PYT number three. Here's everybody in the break guys, thank you guys so much. You have a character sign that means you won that from a team random pack filler. And there's Select Baseball PYT number three for YouTube, that's this one right here. Half the case, and we'll go through the cards guys. My first time written Select Baseball history guys. How's it look good? And it's like any other select product but just baseball edition. I mean again, I'll eat just because it's on license but who cares? Beautiful stuff, I'll just pop out of the slides. All right, so I got six boxes here guys, again now I'm just gonna rip through them really quick. I did not have many cards if I forgot, so it should be a little bit quicker. This was like prism for sure, I think it'd be like an hour. I don't mean to Carl, I haven't seen one yet either. I've seen some cards listed on eBay but I've still yet to see anybody break some. I like to potentially be breaking it first before I watch other breaks. Yeah, that's right, so that should be coming up soon. But that guild is coming up next, so after this, get you some nice hits at a guild. That stuff is still one of the top products out there guys. Like you know, it's a pricey product. It's around 2,000 a box. So basically most of those big teams are accounted for almost basically a box.  That's amazing man, I have to say, I think it looks better than last year and it's exactly the same pretty much. I think it's slightly better than last year just because of the rookie class of how deep it is for a lot of teams, but yeah. I want to pull a cut autograph, that's what I really want to pull. We got a couple here, we sold a couple on Fanatics. You know, so a decent amount. I think you're trying to say guild is right, not golf. I didn't understand what you were trying to say there. I'm assuming you're saying good. We'll start from the left side. Uri Perez for Miami. Marlins, that's going to Dennis. George Brett, how about a little tie-dye out of 25? I mean, it's early win. I don't think these ones are numbered. Pedro Martinez, that's for Boston. Whitey Herzog and a Bobby Miller to 189. Little relic there for the Dodgers. Dodgers, that's going to Dante. Luke Gold, Passell, autograph youth explosion. That is for Washington, going to Leonard. We got a Ben Sheet to white to 149. And a Mark McGuire to 49, nice. St. Louis Cardinals, going to Eddie Hardin. We got a Brooks Lee patch autograph for Minnesota. JT Gin to 149. Richie Ashburn for Philadelphia. These are the Jersey. Arqui Vaughn for Pittsburgh to 25, tie-dye. Tyler Soderstrom, autograph for Oakland. Butter Bryant Crouch. Farzona, going to DIY. Shalver, youth explosion for ETL, going to John DeBever. You got a Noma, you gotta see a par. Boston, Red Sox going to Ryan. Mazatabi Yoshida, relic for Boston. Luke Gold to 149. Or Dexis, just learned about it like last week or two from Rex. That's for Texas Rangers, that's going to John DeBever. Robert Hassel, relic or silver, not silver, color to 75. It's like a neon dream. I've got Chiba Jones for Atlanta to 149. I've got a little En Fuego, L.E. Delacruz. And then a Jackson Joe, relic for Detroit. It's going to Eddie, Jim Palmer. And Jackson Holiday to 199. That's for Baltimore, going to Scott. Michael Bush to 149 for the Dodgers. A Colson Montgomery, rookie patch autograph there for Chicago White Sox, going to Steve. All right, two more boxes here, guys. I know, man. We need to get the RPAs that are out of 25 or 49. That's when we actually get some actual nice patches. All right, isolation green to 49. Big prospect there for the Washington Nationals, going to Leonard. And we got Gold, Buster Posey. That's for the Giants, Steven. Five out of 10, L.E. En Fuego refractor. Probably fingers. We got a Junior Campanero. Jackson Holiday, Willie Cam to 149. And then Gary Sheffield. He's in the back. They could definitely see him that way. So they use the same one for all of them. Florida. That is Miami Dennis. It's not on the schedule, just because I haven't won through the holders yet, man. But if it says filled, it'll be added there in a little bit. I guess it's a little bit later in the East Coast, right? That was not what was my intention though, but just kind of feeling it. We got Diego Cartella. That's for the Dodgers. Lou Baldrow to 75 for Cleveland. Bagwell for Houston. Jayce Young. Real like they're for Detroit. Jackson Merrill to 99. Again, gotta get a better numbering out of 49. See, but when you get out of 99 refractor, you do get like a pinstripe. So that's not better there. Padres. Kevin Brouch. Owen White for Texas to 149. Selfer Lick. That's gonna Milwaukee. Stephen. Nice hits popping out of here, guys. Obviously, I'll top blow it all these at the end but just because it's a longer break. But still looking for a big, big one, guys. We did get a gold, Elijah Green was nice, but Marcelo Merrill was pretty cool, actually. Brooks Lee, Mark McGuire, but I still think we can get more, guys. I'm just gonna have Buster Posey go. All right, next six, guys. I actually did this pretty fast. So actually, I'll be way earlier than what the schedule says. I'm at the 18 minute mark, so it should be done within 45 instead of an hour, for sure.  You know, I think they're like 125, 130. Like this one right here might actually be a nice patch right here. See how thick that one is? Hopefully it is. Whoa, what is that? Tag Gillik. That's the magic of it here. That's a cool one. Detroit Tigers. It's going to Eddie. The gold insert, Tom Siever, one out of 10 for the Mets. Unequaled, I think that's what the card is called. Set. Jason Dominguez, little pinstripes. A. Smith-Shalver to 99. Or ATL Atlanta going to Jonathan. For Philly, and it is numbered four to 10. Yeah, just imagine that Drew, and if they were licensed, how much would these boxes be?  They're probably like five or $600 a box. That's what I kind of tell people.  So these boxes would be like four or five times of the price that it already sells for. So it's like you're getting good autos and good cards on the cheap. They'll walk you with that one. What is Steven? I get it though. Some people like the affiliated, or like the license only. Some people like both.  It's a fun product. Now for this Harry Ford, a base autograph. Yeah, that is true, Drew. You made a good point there. You got a Judd Fabian for bald tomorrow. Yeah, exactly, that's just what it is. If you're a collector, don't mind it. All right, you're not in for the money.  Yeah, you probably did it. Rob Karoo to 150, Prince of Minnesota. And we got Emmanuel Rodriguez, a relative from Minnesota. This one's gonna mark. All right, we got a big patch or something coming up here. Grayson Rodriguez to 23. Ooh, look at that. Look, cracked ice for Baltimore. Goin' to Scott, Andrew Jones. Tyler Soderstrom, patch autograph. So this one seems like, oh man, dang, a little beat up here in the back guys. I don't know if you guys see that. Geez, kinda sticking up a little bit too. Unfortunately, that's just the way it came out of the pack, but I'm sure Brian Crudge, if you want. I'll add a pack and a little stamp on the box here. And maybe you can make it a little clean if you'd like. So I'll add that to the break right there. But unfortunately, a little beat up there. Literally just that card. All right, next one. We got a Ricky Tiedemann to 99 for Toronto. Toronto is Nancy. We got Jake Bennett for Washington. Papa Belle. And probably have to do a little randomize just to at the end to see who gets the non-MOV license. Yoshida to 199. So we'll do that at the end too, guys. A little tie-dye. Hoyt Wilhelm at 25. And Ryan Zimmerman to 49. Select Company. Washington, the winner of 100. And Gavin Williams for Cleveland. Get some more sleeves. No, I was watching Ricky Bobby. I don't know what this is now, though. I'm gonna put it on some sports. I think it's USC Planetary? Or are they playing later, later tonight? I think USC was playing Utah, really. They're playing right now, I think, right? Oh, yeah, I heard it. It's on the TV on the right. It's a T-14. Watch that. You don't need to war yet? What's that? You don't need to war? Oh, I'm gonna do some in like two breaks. Nice.  I don't know. Wow, look at that Jotaro. That's kinda cool. Then we got Owen White. Yeah, Mike, they're an honor cold guitar that's tonight too, so I'll probably watch that at some point. He is recording at home, so. In case I miss it. Self Relic to 149. Ooh, redemption. Does that mean Ellie? James Wood. Maglia O'odonius. Willie Stardale for Pittsburgh. Hey, Bobby Wood, Junior Relic. Sharyl's a redemption too? Okay, let's find out. Rookie Jersey autographs. Round number 45, starts with an E. T.J. Poyer who got the Cincinnati Reds. Ellie Jackson, Sharyl. All right, this is an Ellie. All right, two more boxes, guys. This is Gossage. Was this a case set? Randy Johnson, big units. That select names has to be right. I haven't seen one of those yet. And then that's big unit, Seattle Edition. Seattle Mariners, so that would be Chad Wright. Then Tamar Johnson to 49 for Pittsburgh. Pudger Rodriguez to 49. Ford, Texas. They got a Ralph Kiner for Pittsburgh. Now Andre Dawson, Montreal. Ooh, that's nice. Piece of the Bat Relic. And the autograph. Member Antoine Expos, of course. Go to the Washington Nationals, which is going to Leonard. All right, another redemption. I didn't want to sell that. Anybody see it? Out of 149, that snuck up on me. rookie jersey autograph silver prisms this time. Card number 33. And now, of course, Ellie was card number 45. So this is definitely another player. Maybe Jackson. We're looking for Jackson here. Starts with a B. B-O. Bobby Miller? Bobby Miller. There you go for the Dodgers. Dodgers, that's going to Dante. The Harman Kilibirth of 149. Jackson Holiday to 49. Ooh, that's nice. Orioles, one of Scott. Little patch autograph, that's cool. I ended off with some nice stuff here at the end. Still got a little bit more though. Got a Jackson Holiday Relic to go along with the patch autograph. And a Zebra, David Ortiz, big boppy. There's the Zebra, down to the last box. Nice break for Boston, going to Ryan. We got Mason Nguyen. We got Tomoyuki Sugano. Ganyu Espino to 49. For Cleveland, patch autograph. Guardian's going to DIY. Hey, guys. Oh, is he not on there no more? Well, yeah, I mean, I guess. Oh, or did I say something else? Oh, he was like a Japanese player, but now he's on the Giants. Did he just recently get signed? Just go around. I mean, look at this. It has a little giant colors already. Oh, okay. Well, I mean, yeah, if it doesn't say that on the checklist, it obviously is going to have to go to the non-Baseball, or non-MLB, I should say, but. Alrighty, guys, well, there you go. End of the case. And again, we got some nice stuff, the Zebra there. Got the Jackson Holiday, Bobby Miller Redemption, Andre Dawson, the little Nicknames, Ele De La Cruz, a lot of really solid stuff, Grayson Rodriguez jumbo patch, and then I'll put a couple of golds as well. Awesome. So I appreciate it, guys. Again, obviously, I'm going to do a quick randomizer for everybody. Just in case, obviously, I think there is a lot of non-MLB cards, you know, some from the older leads back in the day, and obviously maybe some players, like, you know, from Japan, et cetera, international players. So let's just randomize the names, just to be safe. And customer number one just gets the whole little, whole little lot of cards. So four and a five and nine times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. So nine times, nine, nine.  All right, I appreciate it, guys. Coming up next, guys, is going to be some guilders.


So I got quite a small campus, but it feels quite big because it looks like everybody knows what they're doing, but on day two, which is today, I feel like I can't wipe off this kind of goofy grid on my face, but I've always wanted to get it so bad. Yeah, it's a very homely feel to it, and I think that's what excites me the most. I went from a university of 33,000 people, down to what actually feels like an actual community. It's quite small. So everything I need is within walking distance. I don't know, I've got nothing. I love this. When I came in, it was done. I chose English. Yeah, exactly. I feel like it's such a close-knit community, in a sense that I keep seeing the same faces, even though I haven't met these people before. I also like that it's so centrally located in London now. It's so accessible, but can be somewhere far out in the city. It's really nice. People are very friendly and very willing to meet. Chat with people.


Hello, welcome to Jenkins online meetup. Today is July 20th and we will have a pipeline as YAML plug-in introduction by Tunch Bacon on the call. And yeah, this is one webinar. We will mostly focus on demos and after that we will have a long Q&A session. And if you're interested to know more or to discuss something after the meetup, you can stay online. We will grant everyone voice permissions and we will be able to have more discussion. Could you please switch to the next slide? Okay, just to quickly introduce Jenkins online meetup. This is a community driven event. Basically, we organize meetups to speak about various aspects of Jenkins, including using Jenkins, developing Jenkins. We focus mostly on various key studies, success stories and we invite everyone to participate during this meetup. So please use Q&A to ask questions and please share your feedback because one of the main goals for these meetups is to actually get your opinion and your inputs about how we could improve. For example, in this case, pipeline as YAML plug-in game or how we are going to improve Jenkins in general and we will appreciate all your participation in this meetup. Again, the main focus is to do hands-on demos today, so we're sitting for live presentations and we're always looking for speakers. So if you want to present something about Jenkins, there is a link, Jenkins.io slash events online meetup speaking and if you want to share anything about your use cases or about your plugins, please you're welcome to do so. Thanks to our sponsors, second is delivery foundation and clubbies. They help us to run the infrastructure and cover costs for running this meetup. I guess that's it from me. So, Atunc. Yeah. Thank you very much for the introduction. So thank you all for joining this session. I am Atunc Pekan. So I have been working as a DevOps engineer and also I have been using Jenkins for the last 10 years. So I can say that I made DevOps and Jenkins interesting. You can just contact me if you need about the details of the plugin from these social medias. So during the meetup, you can always ask your questions with the Zoom Q&A session. And also after the meetup, you can check the pipeline authoring seek website for weekly events and also decisions on the pipelines. And also after the session, you can use this feedback form to provide your feedback for the session. It will be appreciated. So today's, I'm going to introduce the pipeline as a plugin today. So our agenda is that I'm going to provide some details how it works, completed features and the plan features for the future. And also I'm going to switch to the hands on tail with some of the practices that we can or you can use your in your pipeline. So pipeline as you know, there's one important situation that currently this plugin is in the incubation stage. So what does it mean a the changes on this plugin may rely in time or can affect the usage of the plugin. So that's why we always encourage people to use this plugin in not in mission critical or production like environments, but mostly please use it in like development or staging environments for that. We do not want to affect anyone pipelines or working environments. So pipeline is enabled, enables defining Jenkins pipelines in YAML format. YAML is a very well known format in these days. So this plugin can be used in multiple branch pipeline jobs. And also it can be used in the pipeline job is a a CM or in a secret in the editor itself. I'm going to demonstrate how it will be used. Also from the link you can reach to the website of the plug himself. So how it works, plug in converse YAML definitions into decorative pipeline format in the runtime to provide more details conversion happens after you check out the YAML definition from SCM. It converts to the decorative format and it injects into the flow of execution before running the pipeline itself. So you can think this plugin as a runtime converter of YAML definitions into the decorative pipeline formats. This is of course also same in the when you define your pipeline in the editor. So it is again converted into decorative pipeline format in the pipeline itself. Completed features. So until the latest release, decorative pipeline directives that are listed below is complicated, which means that you can use these directives in the pipeline as YAML plugin. And also, in the other concept, there's a converter for converting pipeline is YAML definitions into decorative pipeline, and also validating this converter decorative pipelines. The reason behind this conversion is to provide some pre validation before going for the real implementation of the pipeline as YAML so you can easily convert your YAML definitions decorative pipeline and see how it's going to be worked in the real pipeline. So this conversion helps us to use all the predefined steps or directives in the plugin itself. So for other plugin developers or for all the other custom steps, you do not need to define something special in your plugin. So every step is defined on the pipeline syntax helper page, which I'm going to show that can be used in the plugin itself. Plant features for the future so currently only metrics directive is not supported yet, but it is in the plan so probably in the few next releases we are going to support it. And also another plant features that converted from decorative pipeline to pipeline as YAML. So I believe this will be so helpful for the people who wants to use the pipeline as YAML with the current decorative pipeline so it can be easily converted to YAML format. And also I'm planning to develop some IntelliJ idea plugins, which will make it more useful for the defining pipeline specific attributes and keys in the IntelliJ itself. I don't know if I could jump in real quick. This is Liam. So the plugin for the IntelliJ sounds awesome. The question I have here is about matrix. Why, why is it not in yet just kind of what was, if you're going to talk about that at school I just wanted was wondering if that's a So, especially the reason is that I never use metrics. So first I need to use it in the pipeline to understand well. I had no experience with the metrics usage in the decorative pipeline. Okay, so that's why I didn't do it yet. But of course, as Oleg mentioned, seriously, all contributions are welcome. So if you have some experience with the metrics, decorative pipelines, you can always contribute to this plugin also. I was just wondering, matrix is also the most recent addition. So it's kind of, I would understand why it wouldn't, you wouldn't have exposure to it. So, yeah, so I'm going to switch from the hands on materials. Before that, if you have some questions you can ask what I'm going to on the hands on tools that basic pipeline usage of my variables options or agent definitions. And also I'm going to show some complex stages like inner and parallel stages, and also some steps and secrets examples. I also defined a hell of a repository in the below link so you can always visit this repository and CD, all included pipeline tutorial in that repository so you can always reference that. So I, yeah, there is one question from the channel on about what the motivations are for using YAML. Before we move on to the demos just what are the benefits and motivation for using YAML as opposed to just declarative pipeline as it exists. Yeah, of course, like, I mean, I just like the definition because you just look. How can I say less. And also like YAML definitions are really widely used in the develops world so I believe it will be much more easier for everyone to understand the definitions because that this index has its own decorative format. But of course it is optional. So I just love YAML. So familiarity you're saying it, at least in one sense it's familiar familiarity for people that are already in this world, using YAML. Yeah, definitely. I mean, any application that do not support YAML in the workforce. Apparently just Jenkins to there you go. Not only Jenkins. We use Kotlin and other things in other ACI platforms. But actually it's a good time to launch the poll because we would like to get feedback from audience about what languages would you prefer to use. And yeah, while the poll runs, we can actually start switching to demos part. Yeah. Again, if you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask him some point a and yep, maybe we could answer a couple of more before we switch to demos. Okay, so the first one is about contributing is that the open source is the plugin open source so that people can contribute to the project. If so, how to do that. Here, of course, I'm sorry. Like, of course, this is like open source plugins so everyone can easily contribute on it. Also, you can create issues on the pipeline as YAML plugin GitHub page. So every feedback is appreciated. Also, we will be so glad if you can also provide your usage feedbacks because we tried to keep it as much as useful for everyone. So if you have any questions, please feel free to ask your questions or create issues or contribute. And there was one other issue and it's a little bit of a detailed question but when you go to replay a build when you're using the YAML pipeline. Does it show YAML or does it show the transform declarative groovy version of the pipeline. Wow, that's a good question. I never checked that. We haven't checked. Okay, good. So that's a feature to go take a look at. All right. I need to note it. I'll keep track for you. Go ahead. Okay. Thank you very much. Okay, so now I'm going to switch to hands-on experience. Sorry, tutorials. I just started an Jenkins instance and I also installed the pipeline YAML plugin into my Jenkins itself. So what I'm going to show today, I'm going to start using the, sorry, let's say tutorial one, and I'm going to start using with the pipeline job. So after a few examples, I'm going to show or demonstrate how to, you can just define in the multiple branch. So that will be easy. Okay, so when you install the plugin and when you create your pipeline job, you will see that there's a definition. Of course, you can use the pipeline script or script from SEM as usual, but to other options, which is pipeline is YAML and the other one is pipeline is YAML from SEM. So pipeline is YAML from SEM is similar to what we had before pipeline script from SEM. So you can define your any type of SEM repository and you can just provide the path of the Jenkins file that YAML and you can use it. But for the easiness of the usage, I'm going to use a C clip panel for today's tutorial. Just I want to start with some simple definition of checking out the code from the repository and to maybe some steps. So what we do is that we just define our pipeline. Then we use this YAML syntax. Then we need to define, of course, agent. Sorry, for that dimension. So it's a quite important. If you visit the web page of the plugin, you will see one example of each directive in the lead page. But also you can just easily go to the links and see all the different variations of the implementations. For example, if you want to go to, if you want to see the other implementations of agent definitions, you can easily go to the link. And you can check the different variations of agent definition. So all these files are in stored in the test resources directly. So also, for example, I'm going to demonstrate the environment options and other different types. So let's do together. So I'm going to use this agent any definition. So it is similar to the directive syntax, which we define agent as any. So I'm going to use any definition. As soon as I defined my agent, I'm going to define my stages. So what I'm going to do, I'm just going to use stages key. And then I'm going to define my stage. Let's say check out. So for the stages, also, as I said, you can just check here and see all the different kinds of stage definitions. I'm going to implement every possible scenario of these stages. So you can easily find, I think, what you're looking for. So let's use the pipeline syntax, which I want, which I mentioned before. So using the current steps is possible in the pipeline as young. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to find the checkout comment. And I'm going to. Okay. So I'm going to check out my code. Yeah, I'm going to check the master everything is fine. So what I'm going to do is that I'm going to copy this step. Then I'm going to define as a step under here. So what I'm going to do is that I need to define my steps. The definition are used as arrays. So you can easily define every step by defining as it's YAML array. So I define my steps and just I wrote my git checkout step in here. So I'm going to apply and I'm going to run it. So the expected behavior is to check out the proposal. Let's run it. Check the console. Nice success. So we just did our first checkout with the pipeline as young. Let's start to jump in. Usually in declarative the checkout just is part of the stage. Is that, is that not the case in general for this or. Yeah, excuse me the way we know that's only in multi branch pipelines my bad. Continue. I'm going to show that. No. So I'm going to define my second stage will be something. I want to build my code. So I'm going to define my step again. And I'm going to get an SH main one clean install. Also, SH another step defined in. So as you can see, you can use the early step here. So let's run. Of course. So that's a good example. So what I need, I need to get the tool may one. So before the presentation, I prepared my. May one to installation. So I need to check the name of it. So let's see. Yeah, I have a main one installation here called default. So what I'm going to do is that is the decorative pipeline. I need to get my. To as defined in that. So what I'm going to do is that I'm going to use tools and the tool section I can easily define my tool section. So, but before that I want to also show something. So if you're not sure about the declaration of the tool, you can just easily go to the pipeline syntax helper, and you can just get your main one. Yeah, that's it main one and default. So what we are going to do we are going to convert it into the demo format. So it should work. So it's been successfully so it was just an hello application. Okay, so our next is the next example I can demonstrate the inner stages. So what we can do is that normally we just divide the stages into some sub stages. So what we can do is that maybe build and test or lease a let's say may run. So I'm going to live this section and I'm going to demonstrate how we are going to define sub stages in our stage. So especially it is very similar to decorative usage and also as I mentioned before you can easily see all the usages in here so this is the example for using inner stages. So under my stage definition I also again defined stages and after that I'm going to define my other sub sub stage, which will be built. Then I'm going to write this secret or step as a secret. So also you can always use the similar secret tech, which is similar in the decorative pipeline so I can just easily write me when clean compile. And also I would like to show one example about this. So if you want to write some more complicated steps or secrets. What you can do is that you can use this secret multiline when you can just easily write your glue secrets here. So that's another way of usage. So, okay, I will compile my code and then I'm going to define another stage, which will be test. I'm going to use it as a step stage test. So let's go for it. When you check the pipeline flow, of course you cannot see but if you are using the blue ocean playing you can easily see that this built and test is a sub status of the name. Let me check my examples. Okay, so can you make it the font just a little larger just do a command plus something to just a tiny bit. Yeah, cool. That's great. Just a little bit larger. Great. Thanks. Okay. Thank you. I want to demonstrate the options or the maybe the environment definitions in the pipeline decorative so what we can do is that of course we can just set some options for our jobs, which also can be find here in the decorative director generator so what I'm going to do I just want to set this job is disabled concurrent builds so you can use any definitions here so I'm going to just going to demonstrate this one which will be a simple so I click and I generated my decorative so what we need to do is to convert this into formal format so I'm just copying this function here then I'm going to define here options disabled content fields so you can always define other options under the options key with your list and also you can find the other options definitions. Here. So yeah, I just want to disable the content bills so I'm going to apply it. Yeah, it's quite. So it's running everything seems fine so I'm going to check if it is set or not. And yes, so it is not allowed to run concurrent bills. Okay, that's cool. So what I can do I can just get some maybe credentials and pass it to my maven command or something else so like you can just think about as deployment to somewhere else so my examples maybe you won't make sense now but it is all about showing the usage so I need to Before the presentation. So before the presentation, I just created my credentials here so so you can go to my credentials. So it's in that you defined some credentials or yes or you have some credentials to use so yeah my custom credentials is just basic username and password credentials so I'm going to demonstrate how to use it. Of course anytime we can just get the help from the pipeline syntax. So oops. Okay, so what I'm going to do is that I'm going to use with cadential step to use or get the credentials from the credentials store so I'm going to use a name password and yeah this potential so journey. So the tricky part is here that you need to use this part between the commas so what I'm going to do is that I just want to use my credentials so here with credentials, I will pass it. Yep, and then I'm going to pass this credentials as usual to my maven comments so I know there's no need for that but I just want to demonstrate it. So assume that you're passing some username and password parameters for compiling or testing or deploying your artifact into somewhere else. So let's run it again. Okay, let me check. Oh, sorry, my bad. I forgot to define steps so as you will remember the in the decorative syntax of pipeline. When you use the with cadential step you need to open a code block so for that to be implemented we need to write here circuit and we need to define our SH commands here so and clean compile username. I'm just going to use the username. Okay, so, so you will see that this parameter is passed as a secret into my comments. Also, another similar step which we can use almost the use is that with me section so what I can do is that I can just easily use with me so to be sure I'm going to use the in mind that I will definition so maybe I can do something like that. Okay, so what I'm going to do I'm just going to take this part is again, and I'm going to define it in my pipeline. So with EMV. Again, I need to define its own scripts. Part to make it long so the question there for you to those is that need to be script or can it just be steps. It needs to be secret because, as I remember, in this step definitions, the code block accepts also really syntax or the language so that's why I implemented as a secret but of course we can always change the step but I believe secrets will make more sense, which I thought. Okay. So, okay, I'm going to run it. Let's see. I couldn't resolve. Okay. We can just. Okay, so for next to you, I can show you the maybe parameters part or let's define with one. Yeah. So, just jump in here for just a second. I've, we would want to at least one of the question. Related to the, you're using the script, the declarative directive generator and the, the snippet generator is, is there some plan to make this generate yaml as well or is, is that yes. There's a list somewhere at least is something you'd like to do. Yeah, definitely. I'm planning to do that, but it's just every blue part for me. I don't know how to generate these so probably it will be just the next, next, next releases. Sure. I don't know one, but of course it will be very useful because I know that's this kind of converging is not very useful. Okay. Thanks. So, okay, I'm just going to move past this. I don't want to get us. Okay, so I just want to demonstrate on the also the run definitions. So let's go to the old. And you can see that we can always define the one definitions in the under the stage like is in the decorative pipeline. So I just want to use it in here. Let's make another stage. Yeah, so let's do deploy. And also I would like to do something steps. Maybe deploy somewhere. So I'm going to translate it. Okay, so now when I run it, this will be skipped because we are not using the multi branch pipeline, but this is a demonstration how to use the plan conditions in the pipeline itself but I'm going to also demonstrate how to define this in the multi branch pipeline. So yeah, you will see that this stage deploy is skip to the run condition. So that's another usage for it. And also we can just define some other environment variables, which is quite similar to other activity definitions, so I'm going to define some environment. And I will say that my server and so I just want to like, okay, so is still we didn't see the change on the deploy section, but we are going to see it in a minute. So what I'm going to do I'm going to commit this, or maybe I can just use the, the one that I already defined in the repository so the total repository there's a pipeline directly so there is two different ginkgo file emails. So one of them is about a very similar usage of the things that I showed before you can just reference this usages when you always want to see some examples. And also, there is another Jenkins file definition in the multi branch path, which I want to demonstrate it so as you said before so in this email file is you see we don't have any good checkout sections because multi branch pipeline will do it itself. So in the multi branch pipeline we are going to use this run condition and we will see that this deploy stage will be run. So, I just want to get my repository. If I need to find a new job, let's say, told you to, it will be multi branch up yet. Yeah, this goes all the branches. So what I'm going to do is that I'm going to say to select the ginkgo file as well and I'm going to provide the path of the Jenkins email file. So it will be pipelines, multi branch Jenkins file. I'm going to save it. So it's going to find the branches. Yes, we found the file. So when you go back to a job you can see that master is already start working. You'll see the box at the end of this job. We are also going to see the deploy section is running. So it is all about the run condition. So yes, as we can see from here. So the also deploy section is working. So maybe just one, just one last example. So the usage is also same in the pipeline itself so you can just easily configure your pipeline from the pipeline as you'll form SCM which is really similar to multi branch. So you can use it. That would get you the automatic checkout and some of the other behaviors that you get there right. Yeah, definitely. So one last thing I want to show that is the converter part so you can just go to the pipeline syntax and you will see the pipeline is converted. So as I said, currently it is working one direction so it was pipeline into the decorative format so if you just paste your definition you will get the decorative definition of your pipeline. So if you are not sure of the some definitions in your name or you can just easily check it from here and see if it's going to make sense or not. And also after defining your take 30 or sorry, after converting your pipeline you can just validate it and very detailed response so it's valid. So this is just for like the running errors before running the pipeline so in the future implementations I'm going to implement the bidirectional way of the conversion. So, very cool, very cool. I think I demonstrated lots of things I mentioned. As I said, you can always find more and more and more details about the usage in the pipeline. You can also find the plugin web page. And also I'm going to keep this positive also for reference so you can just easily check the same definitions for your requirements. So that's all from my site. Thank you for listening to me. And also I'm happy to answer your questions. You've got quite a number of them. So would you like to drive the Q&A? I can at least do some of that. Let's see here. No, go ahead, keep it for now. We might need to show some things. If you want to switch back to the slides, if you have links there for the example. Yeah, that'd be great to have that up there while we talk for a minute. So there was a question first off, I'm sure everyone's very excited about this. When will this plugin be ready for production? Thank you. So we are working hard for that. We are going to do some maybe major changes in the next weeks, but I believe also it depends on the Jenkins community itself. It will be online maybe one month or two months. I don't know, but we will try to do it as much as fast. Basically, this is a volunteer organization, right? So it depends on how much participation we get, right? Yeah, yeah. And also like we will be very grateful if someone also can help us contributing to the plugin and applying changes with us. So that will be also great. Okay. The other question, at least one of the other question was, let's see, is there any performance difference for using YAML that you've been able to make sure? I haven't experienced any problems about the performance itself, but I didn't do any performance tests. So I believe we won't have any performance issues because the conversion is very quite simple. So it is just about passing YAML and converting into decorative. But it's a nice question. I will do some performance checks and try to find out some values. Okay. So, okay, good. What about, so you showed the agent NE there. I'm assuming also that Docker agents and such are supported, whatever the usual agent blocks are. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, also let me show it please Ian. So if you check the page of the plugin, you will see that there are different definitions of agents. So in the current release, we have the agent Decker and Decker file implementations. So you can just easily define your Decker using the keys necessary for defining this Decker image usage. And also you can just use the Decker file also. And also other default users like label, node and none is also possible. There was one related question in the list about Kubernetes plugin, because the plugin is famous for its complex configuration. So why it would be supported. Let's add it into the plant feature stuff. Yeah. Okay. So if you have another thing to add for the feedback. Cool. I think that Kubernetes plugin will work as is if you define it as cloud configuration right now. So the only problem is, is more complicated definition when you define container and basically put YAML configuration right inside configuration. So it would be YAML in YAML. Yeah, I don't think that the current syntax parts would support it correctly. Well, you can put YAML string that has a lot of limitations. Yeah, let's see. I don't know how to internet, but I will check. Okay. Does this, does this, does this the YAML pipelines work with configuration as code. Yes. So if you install the pipeline as YAML plugin, you can easily use it, but I need to check if there's a special definition. I'm not so much familiar with the configuration as code, but I will check definitely. Okay, so we need to look at that. So, yeah, right now it will work well because pipeline is YAML basically has no global configuration. So you install the plugin and it just works. And you can benefit from our features. For example, you can define secrets, you can define agents, clouds, etc. using this code and just consume them in YAML. So definitely there is a lot of code reasons between these features and maybe eventually we will be able to put YAML job configurations right inside jcask. So right now it supports the job they say but in principle we could put YAML. But yeah, it's an implementation detail. So, right. Yeah, because so you have, you have job DSL in you can have job DSL inside of there and then define a pipeline inside the job DSL. Right. Yes, which is a little, it's a long way around to it, but that's, that's what yellow paste the link to the chat to what I'm talking about. So there is a way to create seed jobs and the defined jobs basically right inside jcask configuration. Right. And yeah, later when we have pipeline is YAML, it would be great to have support. So that we directly put YAMLs there. So let's see here underneath the covers though, do you have a, is there a schema that's like pre-generated for the YAML or that someone could go and pull out or is that something that we're still working on? The schema will be available after probably defining the IntelliJ plugin. So I'm just planning to define a schema for the pipeline definition and also use it in the IntelliJ and also use it in the Jenkins itself. Okay, so it's still in progress. Yeah, definitely. Let's see. Someone that was asking about whether or not this solves problems with the, with escaping characters and quotes. And I would assume that's not the case. But it's a unit to be a little bit careful about that. So maybe I can show something. So, okay, so let me just give some parts. If you find a good example for that, just a second. Okay. Maybe I can demonstrate something. Okay, so you need to use double quotes if you are using some steps with special YAML syntax like here, like semicolon. So when using these, you need to use this link double quotes at the beginning and at the end. So that's the only escape that maybe you need to use. In the other parts, you can just also use like double quotes if you want to define, but also you can just leave them as alone. But this is the only situation that I experienced. So if you experience any problems with escaping characters, please definitely open an issue and let us check it. Okay. One of the advantages of YAML format is basically you're not limited only to quotes because you have an opportunity to use multi-line syntax. Yeah, to work around using too many quotes in some cases. Like for example here in the steps definitions, you can just use this multi-line definition like here. Oh, neat. Okay. Very cool. That's all the questions that I see on the list in that were that we haven't already answered. Yeah, there are a few questions which we could still ask. Were they were they in the chat as opposed to the Q&A? Questions and answers. So for example, one of the questions is about can we do this and YAML definitions coexist in the same folder? Oh, right. Sorry, I was asking asked them for a clarification. That was a little unclear about what that was. Basically, whether it would be possible to put Jenkins file and YAML definition in the same directory. I don't think it will cause any problems. So yeah, why not? It is just two files. And I guess one of the other questions was what are the, how does this work with shared libraries? Oh, that's very good question. So yeah, maybe I can just show the example because we may need to define library. But so, okay, here's the library usage. So after you define your library in the Jenkins configuration, you can just easily use this library definition in here. And also you can also check the other definitions here, but the usage is very simple just define your library in the beginning of the pipeline. And also the definition string is very similar or very exactly similar to what we have in the declarative pipeline. So you can also easily define two libraries, something else. So it's all up to you. And I noticed that you have the script directive there as well. And that's so that we can call out to so that you end up using the groovy syntax. Yeah, definitely. Right. Okay. So like, maybe I can show it from here this in a moment. So there's a test for it. Yeah. So it is, oops. You click job. Yeah. Not the resources. So, Did you want the resources to show it? No, no, no. Okay, cool. Yeah, I don't waste time for that. But Yeah, as you said, you can just use your custom steps in the secret secret definition steps. Okay. And their question, what about to variable interpolation doing dollar sign, curly, curly brackets, etc. That works fine, right? Like, as I showed in the example, so you can just easily use this dollar sign with bracelets, so you can just use these variables, which will define the environment or in the input section. So you can easily use this. Okay, okay. Let's see. Does that make sense? Okay. Yeah. Now, if there were problems in the, in terms of the interpolation split that this wouldn't fix those though, right? That it was what someone's kind of asking about. Uh, fix what? It's probably worth. This is the like if the if the username there had a dollar sign in it, for example, or something like that where there's a. Yeah, that's right. There's this. Those are, I think you'd end up most likely running into the same issues right where you would as you would in groovy. Yeah, definitely. So, especially it will, it will throw the glue exceptions because as I said, like in the conversion party just courses into that. So you will explain the same problem. All right. So this doesn't, this doesn't fix some of, if someone's having a difficulty stating something in declarative, this won't necessarily make that, that better. It won't fix that problem for them. No, no. Okay, that's fine. That's fine. Let's see here. One question you had in the beginning of meetup is about the replay feature. I did ask about that already. We that it's not, we hadn't actually checked it yet, but I put on the list to, to, to that we would definitely want to want to try it out. Actually, can you do it right now? Can you just try taking one of the things that you ran and just do a do a rebuild on it. So take one of the jobs down the left, click on the number, and then do a replay. Like we get declarative. Yeah, we get to declare it. What would you prefer? Well, if someone wrote something in YAML, they probably want to see. Yeah, okay. That might be a little bit harder to do, but it's an interesting feature. Yeah, let's see. Okay. I have a couple of questions with that report the back on Sunday, because I hit regression and Jenkins fellow runner when I was implemented pipeline is YAML support. So there might be some issues with extension points between the replay and pipeline is YAML. It's yet to be seen. Right. Okay. Well, I don't see any further questions that we can answer. I assume you'll have the link to the slides when we post this. Yeah. Okay. Great. Well, I can hand this back to you for, for closing this out. I'm not sure we're. Okay. So, yeah, I stop the show. So, thanks to everyone who joined the meetup again after the recording, you're welcome to stay online so we can discuss more questions and topics of the record. And if you want to share anything with the speaker or the organizers, we ask you to fill in the feedback form. I will post the entity, or you can just stay online so that we keep talking about it. Okay. Thanks to you for the great presentation. Personally, I'm looking forward to see this plugin in production as well. Well, just a big fun of group video set, but at the same time, I think that having a YAML option is a great addition to the pipeline ecosystem and to the Jenkins project in general. So thanks a lot for your hard work on this topic. Thanks. I really appreciate any feedback. So try out the plugin. If you hit something submit the issues, join the charts and share the feedback because any contributions matter and good feedback is also a great addition to the project. Yes, also it is important for us before going to the production version or like the release version because we need to. We want to cover as much as possible from the community feedbacks. So please feel free to forward some feedback. Yeah. Thanks all, and see you at the next meetup. We are planning to announce in the top to the beginning of almost later this week. So stay tuned for the announcements. And of course, the ideas will be published soon. Thank you. Bye bye.


What's up internet? Pinahiram kami ni Asus no monitor and gusto ko saan na i-review. Yung problema, the last time pinahiram kami ni Asus no monitor, sobrang kong nagustuhan, minakaw ko from the shop. So para iwas tukso tayo ngayon, we got a tech expert and you know him from Pwede magtanong, it'll be Marvin who will review the monitor. So now to the big question. Does the 165 Hz refresh rate that this monitor offers make any difference? Can you tell the difference between 60 Hz, 75 Hz and the 165 Hz refresh rate? The short answer, yes, there is a difference. My whole life has been a lie. Humans can see more than 60 frames per second. On a more serious note, we ran a few tests using the testUFO.com website and with our naked eye, we could appreciate the difference that the 165 Hz refresh rate brings. Of course, the challenge was how we could show you that difference using a YouTube video that at most would only show 60 frames per second. So to emphasize the difference, what we did was we used the slow-mo feature of our camera that could film at 200 frames per second to show you these differences. Here, even at full speed, you can see the difference between the 165 FPS sample and the other lower FPS samples. When we go to the slow-mo version, the difference is even more pronounced. Now here is the scrolling text test in slow-mo. As you can see, the 165 FPS sample is smoother, easier to read as compared to the other samples. Now here's the video game motion test. First at full speed, then in slow-mo mode, where you can really tell the difference. This monitor also features extreme low-motion blur, or ELMB. This is ASUS's proprietary technology that reduces motion blur. It uses backlight strobing to sort of make images a little crisper. Now, take note that you can only activate this by turning off FreeSync and AdaptiveSync. When we ran our tests, yes, it did make images more crisp at the expense of a little brightness. It's a bit more challenging to show this on YouTube, but we'll try. So here we have the UFO test on slow-mo again.  You can barely make out the details on the ship. However, when we turn on ELMB on standard mode, the strobing light effect starts. And by some magic, the details are now more pronounced. The image is a little crispier. When we activate the Turbo mode, the strobe effect light increases in speed and there is a corresponding increase in the image clarity. So here's what I think after using the TUF Gaming BG249 Q1R for more than a few weeks, side-by-side with my existing monitor. Before, I belonged to the camp that firmly believed that high refresh rate monitors were a waste of money because humans supposedly couldn't see above 60 frames per second anyway. In fact, when I bought my most recent monitor, I chose a 27-inch monitor with a 75 Hz refresh rate over a 24-inch monitor with a 144 Hz refresh rate even if the price of the two monitors were almost the same. But now, my belief on that point is not quite so firm. Yes, higher refresh rate monitors might be more expensive than other types of monitors. For example, the TUF Gaming BG249 Q1R has an SRP of almost 13,000 pesos. That could buy a 27-inch monitor or even a 32-inch monitor. So who are the people for whom it would make sense to spend the extra money for monitors like the TUF Gaming BG249 Q1R? For one, people who play a lot of fast-paced games like first-person shooters and MOBAs. In fact, I read somewhere that some professional gamers still practice on 24-inch 1080p monitors with high refresh rates precisely because these are the types of monitors that are commonly found in tournaments. It could just be a coincidence, but I found that when I played valorant on this monitor, I was surviving more one-on-one shootouts whereas before, I would usually end up dead. Now, my reaction time didn't get better so the only thing that changed was the higher refresh rate. This monitor also makes sense for people who play other types of games but who have GPUs that are already overpowering their 60Hz monitors at 1080p but it's not powerful enough to play at 1440p. All in all, this monitor represents a good value for those people who want to take the first few steps into higher refresh rate gaming but it's okay with paying a premium for extra features and a good build quality. So, this is the TUF Gaming VG249Q1R from ASUS out of the box.  It's a 23.8-inch monitor with an IPS panel. It has 1080p resolution. It has acceptable brightness at 250 kandelapar square meter. Claims to have a response time of 1 millisecond but instead of the usual GTG measurement, measures it using the stricter moving picture response time metric. So, it would seem that it's really good. More importantly, it claims that it has a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz which will delve into deeper at a later time. Let's take a closer look at it. As you can see, it's very thin and when I lifted it, it felt really light. So, this is what it looks like from this side and here's how it looks like from the other side. Unlike its other siblings, the only options are tilting up and down. It's pretty tight so no fear of wobbling. It doesn't have any pivot options but of course you can get a separate monitor arm for it. So, this is what it looks like at the back. It has a sort of matte finish coating on it. It does tend to be a little bit of a fingerprint magnet. It has the ASUS and the tough gaming branding prominently on the back. Looks good, looks good. It has one display port input as well as two HDMI inputs. It also has a 3.5mm earphone jack. If you wanna use that instead of your earphone jack on your CPU. It does come with a pair of speakers but they're pretty small It's just something there in case you have no other alternative. And it does have its own power cord plug-in because this does not use onboard power rather there is a separate power brick. For its user interface, it does come with a joystick option rather than the multiple button options that the other monitors have which personally, I prefer it's simpler, more intuitive. And lastly, it does have its standard Vesa mounting option 75x75 which makes using a monitor arm that I referred to earlier quite simple. Let's take a closer look at the base. It's circular, quite different from the usual rectangular or square basis or those flimsy legs that some monitors come with. As I mentioned, it's quite light and you can see a bit of that red accent it has. Let's do a build quality test. First, a dead pixel check. So let's do a backlight bleed test. It is an IPS panel so some bleed is to be expected. Now, looking at this monitor we do see some bleeding out at the upper part of the screen. So for example, here, I can see this part even with my naked eye as well as a little bit of this part. Now, it doesn't look this bad using your eyes. It is a little exaggerated given the fact that I am filming in a completely dark room and also our eyes work a little different from the camera. So the other parts where there might seem to be a bleed like in the lower parts like here and here they don't appear to me when I look at it with my eyes. And to be honest even the upper bleeds when I look at it using normal use it doesn't really bother me until I start looking for it. Let's take a look at the menu options it offers. The usual brightness, contrast, some proprietary ASUS options blue light filter then you have the usual color adjustments that you can make on a hardware level as opposed to using your computer to make software adjustments input selections then you have system setup pretty standard. ASUS does provide some game visual options preconfigured color modes so we have scenery mode racing mode cinema mode the RTS RPG mode and of course an FPS mode an SRGB mode and a very very strange MOBA mode which appears to highlight the greens and reds and blacks out everything else. Generally I use the FPS mode for most of the testing done today. So thank you to ASUS for lending us the monitor and thank you to Marvin for reviewing it and feeling ko baka mawala na lang yan or manakaw yan from the shop one of these days.
