see now let me tell you something as here suppose you have a plate this is a plate fine all right so l is equal to l naught alpha delta l is equal to l naught alpha delta t delta b is b naught alpha delta t ok what about this if I draw a randomly a line like this this line expand if I give need to this substance will this line expand it will expand it will expand fine so if original length is x then delta x will be what x alpha into delta t ok very very simple so all the linear dimensions all the linear dimension in a substance will follow linear expansion formula getting it so if the unit is meters centimeter or m m like unit of length is there dimension is length then that will expand as linear expansion getting it so it need not be only external dimension of a substance fine is it clear now similarly if I draw a square over here whose area is a naught this will follow up area expansion fine similarly if it is a block inside the block there is a small volume that will follow volumetric expansion fine now let me give you another thing tell me what will happen here you have a plate and this plate has a hole in it if you heat it temperature increases delta t what happens to the diameter of the hole increase or decrease if I heat this the hole will increase in size or decrease in size so my question is is the material try to occupy this m d space or it will simply move out which one it will increase why 2 pi r will increase because that is a perimeter of the circle that has a linear dimension that will increase and automatically the diameter increases now diameter will follow what expansion law this diameter linear expansion fine d is equal to d naught into 1 plus alpha delta t or delta t is d naught alpha delta t fine have you learned about mechanical properties of solids already you have done Young's modulus and all that right now tell me one thing I am just talking about scenarios ok I am not getting into the numerical of it right now so if you have a rod like this length is a fine it is clamped between the two walls fine now you are increasing the temperature by delta t this rod is not allowed to expand what will happen this rod is not allowed to expand remains the same length it remains the same length but actually what this rod wants to do is increase its length of it by probably this much how much that would have been if you are allowing it to increase this delta l would have been equal to l alpha delta t but you are not allowing it to increase so in a way it is in compressed state getting a point and what is a strain in the rod delta l by l which is what strain is delta l by l which is equal to alpha delta t this is called thermal strain because the natural length of the rod changes at different different temperature at 20 degrees Celsius length should be this much to have zero strain but if you do not allow it to expand there will be a strain from what it should have been getting it so that is the reason why you will see that there is a small gap in the railway tracks those rails there is a provision for it to expand if its temperature increases it will expand little bit but if you do not allow it to expand it will become with a curve sort of thing and it will anyway change its length right so like for example this is the two rails you are not allowing it to expand you are clamping it so if temperature increases it is just you know randomly it bulges out from here and there so this is thermal strain and there are a lot of nice numerical that are made out of just thermal strain there comes the Young's modulus also you know how much stress will be developed we know that sigma divided by epsilon should be equal to Young's modulus the sigma should be equal to Young's modulus into strain so y alpha delta t will be stress and if a def procession is a force will be equal to sigma into a fine so you should be very comfortable with playing around all these things but in now since we are you know looking at for the first time probably right now we can just focus on the NCIT numerical in this chapter you will see that many times you know exactly how to solve a numerical but still you will not be getting the answers probably because you are not very careful with the calculation okay make sure that you are good at calculation and do not use calculator because if you are a habit of using calculator you know the problem will be that the difficult chapters probably some difficult question come will not be able to probably you know some hard question not able to solve it and these question it will be pretty that you know exactly how to solve it still you are not able to solve okay so be good at calculation fine so here is the first numerical you know how how the bullet cards wheel is made you have been to village you are like cosmopolitan you never seen a bullet card television okay have you seen the wheel how it is there's an iron ring on it if iron ring is not there to just wear out right so that iron ring is placed very tightly on the wooden wheel otherwise you come out have you ever wondered how it is done exactly you you heat that iron ring expands then you put it on the wooden wheel and then let it cool down so it will contract and hold that wheel okay so the question is on that only write down a blacksmith fixes you don't have to write the entire version okay just write down the data which is required to solve the question a blacksmith fixes iron ring on the ring of the wooden wheel of a bullet card the diameter of the rim the rim diameter is 5.243 meters okay diameter of iron ring is 5.231 diameter of iron ring is 5.231 meters okay both these dimensions are given at 27 degrees Celsius you need to find out what temperature should the ring be heated so that it fits on the wooden rim okay the coefficient of linear expansion for iron alpha is given as 1.2 into 10 raise to power minus 5 what do you think the unit should be look at delta l is equal to l alpha delta t so alpha is delta l by l into 1 by delta t meter meter cancels or degree Celsius this is called degree Celsius get the value of temperature up to which the iron ring should be heated so that it gets fitted into the wooden ring all you do is heat from 27 to 33 and expand something wrong how much should be change in diameter difference right delta t should be around 46 that's why i'm saying you know exactly how still not how much should be just this minus that which is 0.012 meters right this should be equal to diameter of the iron ring into alpha to delta t okay so delta t will be what 0.012 divided by diameter of iron ring that is 5.231 into alpha which is 1.2 into 10 raise to power minus 5 this is delta t all of you getting this as delta t oh so calculation this goes in the numerator and it becomes 1200 divided by 5.23 and just simplifying it this this is delta t how much this comes out to be no idea see and let me do the calculation in front of you 6 4 10 3 2 5 so it is 6.27 okay so this is 1200 divided by 6.27 right so i'll take it as 6.3 just a simplification so whatever i get the answer will be slightly more than that so this if it would have been 6 it would have been 200 but this is 6.3 okay so this you can roughly say around 180 and you can check whether it is reading it okay delta t is this the final temperature is what plus this 180 plus 227 and if you want to get it exactly just divide this you can divide 63 from this okay like that divide you get the answer 200 12 with approximation i'm getting 207 let's do a numerical on this thermal stress also write down a rod of length 2 meter is at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius so a rod of length 2 meter is at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius okay you need to find out the free expansion of the rod free expansion as in you are not restricting its expansion find the free expansion of the rod if the temperature is increased to 50 degrees Celsius so from t1 the temperature goes to 50 degrees Celsius you need to find the free expansion this is the part 1 okay the value of alpha is 15 into 10 is power minus 6 please solve this then i'll tell you just find the expansion how much it expand delta l 0.9 mm 9 into 20 minus 4 right that's correct so delta l is l alpha delta t okay now you need to find out the part if you prevent it to expand you're not allowing it to expand okay you need to find what is a stress that is developed how you know young's modulus is not given you got the strain stress young's modulus is given as 2 into 10 is power 11 Newton per meter find out what is the stress if you're preventing it completely same as what we have done earlier so strain should be equal to alpha delta t okay the stress should be what y alpha delta t in and out no c part it is permitted to expand only by 0.4 mm if you're allowing it to expand only 0.4 mm now what is the stress okay so free expansion is what 0.9 mm you're allowing it to expand 0.4 mm how much is the restriction 0.5 so strain corresponding to 0.5 mm will be there getting it when you're completely restricting it strain corresponding to 0.9 mm was there when you are allowing it to expand 0.4 0.5 is a restriction any doubts so strain should be equal to what 0.5 mm which is 0.5 to 10 iso minus 3 divided by 2 meters this is strain okay this is strain this into young's modulus is the stress any doubts okay so that's how we deal with the expansion property of the substances okay so still there are some varieties of numericals that you have to do it as homework and ask me doubts in the next class where to find the strain stress stress strain is this okay so we'll take next property after the break


Hello and welcome to this special showcase of digital transformation, a program from the Association for Learning Technology and ITM Business. During the pandemic, technology rapidly transformed education. Now in this new era of learning, education systems are moving to a more flexible and blended approach. In this program, we'll discuss the perceptions around learning technology, the importance of upskilling staff and what the future looks like. I'm joined now by Professor Helen O'Sullivan, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost of the University of Chester and Chair of Alt-Helen, welcome to the program. Now the pandemic saw a huge shift in the adoption of technology. How are institutions taking the positive of this to provide a new direction of learning? So a lot of universities were already thinking a lot about how they use digital technology in learning and teaching long before the pandemic. But of course, when the pandemic hits, we had to completely change the way we teach students. And we used a lot of emergency remote learning technology, which is great because it meant we could carry on teaching and assessing students. But since that time has passed, we're starting now to think about what were the positives from that and how can we take those forward? One of the things that the pandemic really brought to life was how we can use technology to support students who might have additional needs. So accessibility has been a fantastic development in the last couple of years. And I think that we really need to investigate how we've supported students who might have a disability or an additional need and really keep a lot of that going. Having difficulty reading can profoundly impact a person's life, especially that of children and young people. Innovations in technology have empowered students with learning challenges to grow their confidence in literacy. All Can Learn, a brand new AI-based technology, helps students to learn to read more effectively and efficiently, making literacy barriers easier to overcome for generations to come. The All Come Learn is the world's first learning body. It can capture entire pages of text at the click of a button. And that's both printed and digital text. The Reading Pal feature encourages the student to read to the device. The device is listening to them read and straight away, once that student finishes that passage of text, we provide initial feedback straight away for the student. What we are also able to do from that is pull an analytical, more in-depth report, which can be sent to the tutor and it very much becomes a learning companion. What I see appear on the page in front of me is four corners of a laser frame. Now the frame will pick up anything inside the four corners. We're happy with the position of the frame. Simply release the trigger button. Welcome to the Learning Evolution. Read with it, talk with it, learn with it. Whether that's using wide headphones or Bluetooth earphones, it allows the student to understand the context of the words on the page. Before you had Orcam, how did you feel about reading? I felt it was quite hard and difficult. Austin is really enjoying his reading, now that he has the Orcam Learn to help him make sense of long words. He's using the Orcam Reading Pal feature, which listens to him read, tells him how he did, then follows up with a report. Until she got to her point, then she stopped and barked. Proud of you. You succeeded reading 19 words in a row without a mistake. One specific quote that I heard from a student once, which was, it's like having a teacher in my pocket. It is because a teacher is there to support you and support your learning adventure, and that's exactly what the Orcam Learn does as well. The pandemic brought a number of new challenges for parents who had to become teachers to their children through lockdown. White Rose Maths is a provider of teaching and training resources that's bridging the gap between how Maths is taught at school and at home. We went to find out how. Jenny and her children, Flynn and Esther, are learning Maths. How many hundreds have you got? Eight. And then one ten. And now, so what's that? So 163 times five is? 850. Well done, Flynn, that's brilliant, well done. It's made fun and easy by White Rose Maths, which provides education support for children, parents and teachers. When COVID-19 closed schools, they produced free online lessons and videos with worksheets for reception to year 10. And I felt like we both had a teacher there on the laptop, so it was an extra person guiding, and we actually had a really nice time. Really saw the teachers struggle during that first initial lockdown and subsequent ones in terms of having resources that they could trust and use. Kat knows how to capture the imagination of children. A reception teacher, she was in charge of developing White Rose Maths' early years online program during lockdown. Completely aware that in school, you've got an early years classroom, you've got sand, you've got water, you've got everything like that. At home, you've got a kitchen, you've got your front room, so what could you use? So came up with lots of very bizarre ideas sometimes, you know, we're creepy crawly cans and counting. We had collections outside, we had a Spider-Man theme at one stage, we had soup potato, all sorts of things going on that really would inspire. And then it was brilliant because we got a massive social media following, there was loads of children doing things at home. The COVID videos helped to develop a program for reception in line with the new early years curriculum. It pushes for a deeper understanding of maths. In the past, people that have been successful in maths may be the ones with good memories, so they can remember the procedures and they just get it. And even those students, we find really benefit from using diagrams and manipulatives because they can understand what they're doing more. Five, well done, high five! Everyone can do maths, they just need to be taught the right way. Professional accreditation provides staff with both knowledge and recognition. For learning technologist, ALT's peer-assessed C-Malt framework enables practitioners to develop skills further. Tell me more about this C-Malt accreditation. So C-Malt is certified membership of the Association for Learning Technology. It's been running for over a decade and a growing number of C-Malt holders have come into being over the last 10 years or so. The association has provided a framework whereby anyone who works with learning technology to support learning, teaching and assessment can work towards the accreditation, puts together a portfolio to evidence and describe work that they have done and reflect on that work. My journey with C-Malt has been a totally brilliant and surprising one to me as well because I didn't realise I would learn so much and I would grow so much in personal development. You know, C-Malt for me was not just learning skills in learning technologies, it was career development and it was personal development. So by getting your C-Malt accreditation, you have demonstrated, you have reached a standard, you have thought about it and you're ready with goals for the future and what you want to do next. Thank you for watching Digital Transformation. We hope you enjoyed this programme. Now, all of our reports are available to view on the ALT website. The details are on screen now. From me and the team here, thank you for watching and goodbye.


This is going to be a demonstration of the morphology of the heart. So I'm holding the heart in my left hand. In a person, the heart is located the way I'm going to demonstrate. I have dorsiflexed my hand and radially deviated my hand. So this is the orientation of the heart of the person inside his or her chest wall. With this background, let's now mention the parts of the heart. This is the apex of the heart. This is formed mostly by the left ventricle. And this is located in the fifth left intercostal space, one palm width away from the sternum. And exactly diametrically opposite to the apex going in that direction is the base of the heart. So to show the base of the heart, I'm going to turn the heart now. So this is the location of the base of the heart. Inside to the base of the heart extends from the bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk indicated by my left index finger till this posterior coronary groove. This is the extent of the base of the heart. It is formed mostly by the left atrium and a little bit by the right atrium. What we see here is the left atrium. Now again, I'm going to turn the heart back. This is the right border of the heart. And this is formed by the right atrium. This is the inferior border of the heart. It is formed by the right ventricle. This is the left border of the heart, which is formed mostly by the left ventricle and a little bit by the left atrium. What about the superior border? To understand the superior border, let me first put my finger in this groove here. I'm going to put my finger in a place which is called the transverse sinus. It's actually a pericardial sinus. We have removed the pericardium. And if you notice, in front of my finger, we have the pulmonary trunk and we have the aortic outflow. And behind my finger, we have the superior vertebra. So this is the transverse sinus, which actually is a very important sinus used by cardiothoracic surgeons before they started open heart surgery. They put their finger in the transverse sinus to cannulate the pulmonary trunk and the aorta and connect it to the heart-log machine. To come back to where I was, when I put my finger in the transverse sinus, the lower limit of the transverse sinus where my finger is tracing right now, that is the superior border of the heart. And it is formed again by mostly by the left ventricle atrium and a little bit by the right atrium. What about the anterior or the sternocostal surface of the heart? This is the one which is in contact with the sternum and the chest wall. And this is formed mostly by the right ventricle. What about the inferior or the diaphragmatic surface of the heart? When I am putting my heart on my left palm, it was resting on the inferior or the diaphragmatic surface. This is formed mostly by the left ventricle. So these are the parts and the borders and the margins and the surfaces of the heart. Now to bring you to a few more specific things. We can see the pulmonary outflow here. And if you look inside, we can see the three semilunar valves here. Then we can see the aortic outflow here. Again, we can see the three semilunar valves. Now let me mention a quick word about the valves themselves. These are called semilunar valves because they are shaped like half a moon. The free margin of the valve is called the lunule. And the central portion of the lunule is thick and it is called the nodule. Thick and nodule is responsible for tight closure of the three valves. Then we can see this is the opening for the superior vena keva. And if I were to turn the heart, we can see the opening of the inferior vena keva. In this particular category, we had two openings, the inferior vena keva. One of them actually is the opening of the hepatic vein as it passed through the cable hiatus in the diaphragm. When I turn the heart, we can see this surface here. This, as I mentioned earlier, is the base of the heart. This is formed mostly by the left atrium. And we can see the openings of the pulmonary veins. Ideally, there should be two pulmonary veins on the right side and two pulmonary veins on the left side. But in this case, we are seeing that the left side, there is only one pulmonary vein opening and there are two pulmonary vein openings on the right side. They all open into the left atrium. This groove that we see here, this is referred to as the anterior interventricular groove. It is a groove between the right ventricle and the left ventricle. This groove that we see here on this side as well as on this side. This is referred to as the atrioventricular groove. Also referred to as the coronary groove. This is the anterior part of the atrioventricular groove, the right side and the left side. And if I turn, then we see the continuation of the atrioventricular groove here. So this is the full coronary groove. It is called coronary groove because it circles the heart like a crown. The portion above the coronary groove is the atria. The portion below the coronary groove are the ventricles. This is the posterior interventricular groove as opposed to the anterior interventricular groove, which I showed a little while earlier. Where the posterior interventricular groove meets the posterior coronary groove, this region of the heart is referred to as the crux of the heart. So these are some of the morphological aspects about the parts of the heart. Now let's come to the surface marking of the heart. I am going to position the thoracic cavity here just to show you what are the surface markings of the heart. And I have put the heart by the side of it. So this is the sternum. This is the manubrium. This is the second rib. This is the sternal angle of Louie. Third, fourth, fifth rib. Fifth intercostal space. This is on the left side. This is on the right side. So the surface marking of the heart will be left upper sternal border near the costal margin, number two. This is one point. Other point will be third rib on the right side near the sternal border. So we take one point here, number two, number three. Then we take sixth costochondral junction. And then we take the fifth intercostal space, one palm width away from the sternum, namely here. We join them. Second, third, sixth, fifth intercostal space. So this is the surface marking of the heart. This second to the third represents the superior border. From the third costochondral edge to the sixth costochondral edge represents the right border of the heart, which is formed by the right atrium. From the sixth costochondral edge to the fifth intercostal space marks the inferior border of the heart, which is marked by the right ventricle. This point refers to the apex of the heart, which is formed by the left ventricle. And from here, back to the second costochondral edge, refers to the left border of the heart, which is formed by the left ventricle. So this is the surface marking of the heart in the thoracic wall. Now let me mention a few clinical correlations. If you were to take a look at this appendage here, this is the oracle of the left atrium. And similarly, this is the oracle of the right atrium. These are non-functional appendages of the respective atria. However, in a condition known as atrial fibrillation, when the atrium is not contracting synchronously, but it is fibrillating like this the way my finger is showing, then blood can undergo stasis inside the oracles and can then lead to thrombus formation. And that thrombus is referred to as a ball thrombus. And this can be a source of embolus, which can go to the cerebral circulation. So that is all for now about the morphology and the other features about the heart. Stay tuned for the next video where I am going to demonstrate the coronary circulation and the next video after that where I am going to demonstrate the interior, the chambers of the heart. Thank you very much for watching. Dr. Sanjay Sanyal, Sanyod, Mr. Kendall Kumberbatch is the camera person. If you have any questions or comments, please put them in the comment section below. Have a nice day.


All right, you were live. OK, everyone, thanks for joining us today. And we have the second half of our 2022 Hyperledger career fair that we're running this afternoon. And it's going to be an exciting session. We're going to have a nice recap from Jim Mason around what we covered in the first career fair that we did. And then we're going to go through and talk about how you can get prepared to recruit with all these great companies that are looking to hire blockchain talent. And then we're going to have a wonderful panel discussion today with some very experienced blockchain industry leaders. And then we're going to then fire into our virtual recruitment tables. And that's where you'll get a chance to actually talk with the HR team and get in front of them and talk about your skills and what they're looking to hire for in the industry. So I'm John Carpenter. I'm going to be one of the hosts today and running the panel discussion. And then I also have Jim Mason joining me today as well from the Hyperledger Boston Group. So Jim, you have any comments you want to make quickly before we kind of fire into a recap? No, just the fact that everybody should obviously post their name and links to their resume or LinkedIn profile in the chat, because like you did last time, we're going to grab all of that and then distribute that to all of the companies who are here. So that will be an easy way for everybody to keep in contact with you, either your LinkedIn profile or your email. So that's good. OK, perfect. So I've gone ahead and posted a agenda here what we're going to go through today. So we're going to start off with Jim. And he's going to talk a little bit about session one and the career fair and take some Q&A. Then we're going to do a recap of some of the projects that we talked about and relevant enterprise blockchain projects, especially in the Hyperledger ecosystem. And then we're going to go ahead and get into our panel discussion with our experts today and really talk about what their business focus is, insights on roles and opportunities and how to register for their talent pool. And then we're also going to give a session ability to ask them great questions about what they're doing in the industry and how to get involved with their companies. And then once we wrap up the panel discussion and the Q&A, then we're going to fire up virtual recruitment fair tables. And this is where the companies who have shown up today, you'll get a chance to talk to them one on one with their HR department and really learn what roles they have open, how you can apply for those roles. And really it's a great opportunity to connect directly with the companies in this virtual form. So what I will do is I'll open up several Zoom rooms. And from the Zoom room, you can just go ahead and float between different Zoom rooms and make sure that you're talking to all the companies that are here today. So that's kind of the kickoff to it. And Jim, I'm going to go ahead and turn it back over to you and kind of go over a recap on session one and some of the enterprise blockchain projects you know about. All right, thanks, John. So in session one, which I believe it was two weeks ago from today, we talked basically just John actually introduced the career fair concept as to what it is and what we're doing. And then we did talk on my end a little bit about some blockchain solution concepts, sort of how do you think about blockchain, how it might fit different types of use cases and so on. And then we did introduce the concept of, you know, the Hyperledger project and the Linux Foundation and all of the different projects that do exist inside of Hyperledger, of which there's quite a few. Some of them are platforms and there's many other kinds of projects as well that are solution oriented frameworks as well. And then the larger thing in the Hyperledger community of course is the fact that we have not just projects and software but we also have industry working groups for focus points. The Hyperledger project and all the different projects within it in a sense put on lots of different forums, webinars and events you wanna track. We did also talk about the Hyperledger meetup groups that David Boswell is really the key to pushing all of the meetup groups around the world. I'll get the number wrong, but correct me. But I know there's over 175 different meetup groups. Some of them have physical meetups again now that we're past the pandemic. And some of them are more virtual if they don't have a meeting place but we do have a lot going on there. And every week, David and John will put out a summary of what the different events are that you can attend as a virtual meetup. And so the nice thing about, I guess the Hyperledger community is that it has grown and expanded. So originally I would say it was a lot US and Europe focused, but now you can see that I'll say certainly Latin America, Asia, India lots of other places, Africa and so on have really have lots of participation. A lot of actually events that are oriented around in a sense those areas and what locally they're interested in. So it's a very different kind of a community than when I joined five years ago. And so today really is more of a global opportunity. And then of course, we had the Hyperledger Global Forum that was in middle of September in Dublin, Ireland where we spent, I think it was three days plus the Hyperledger Meetup Summit there that was actually an excellent opportunity for those of us that could get to travel. The other thing that's nice about Hyperledger is that you try to distribute materials and resources well. So even if you couldn't attend, they recorded a lot of the sessions and a lot of material is available in a sense online. Some of it's over in the Hyperledger YouTube channel as well. So there's an awful lot of resources just within the Hyperledger community. There's even more resources outside in the blockchain and DLT space as well that you can take advantage of. And so we talked about that on my end a little bit. And then John walked through some of the industry use cases. And then the last time we did have another panel that focused on some questions just to introduce those concepts to the audience. And the panelists from last time, we're lucky we've got Nico Geyer from Kaleido back again. We had Tracy Kurt from Accenture who also was there for a great job. And Christine Sani from Sybil who is a CEO and focuses more in the across a lot of domains, I say from an industry perspective, but she focuses more in the governance space as opposed to the technology space. So we had a different set of perspectives. Some of the questions we took a look at last time we asked questions about what were the business cases and industry solutions that companies were focused on? What projects have you been using in Hyperledger? What do you see as the demand for skills in the blockchain area? And not just technical skills, but all the other things that are related to product and project management governance. There's a lot of other things.  There's still a tremendous opportunity if you have technology skills or experience to get involved because most of these blockchain projects involve not just a call it smart contracts and blockchain, but they also involve integration with everything else on the planet. So there's usually a broad set of skills that you need to be effective. And so there's a lot of opportunity even if you're not a call it skilled yet on a current blockchain technology for a project. We talked about the roles and opportunities a little bit that companies were working in and then really focused in about how candidates can build their skills, which is still important. And I think I'll share, I'll dig up the links we had from last event, but we had some links on where you can go to get in a sense access to free resources, not only in the hyper-literature community, but sometimes outside of that as well. And then we did talk about what solutions in a sense are out there and what are the challenges and opportunities when you get involved in looking at one as part of a project and so on. We also then asked everybody as a panelist what did you think from a career fair or from a career perspective, what was the single best thought you could share with all the attendees? So that was what our coverage was. That was the topics we hit. And then with that, I'll kind of wrap it up and toss it back to John. Yeah, no, that's a wonderful recap, Jim. Thanks for doing that. And the thing I really want to get across to everyone is, you know, there's a lot of different roles and opportunities when the blockchain space, not just for developers. And this also cuts across industries as well. So when we look at it, you know, there's enterprise opportunities, there's government opportunities, there are identity type opportunities, there's currency type opportunities, there's just a wealth of different projects that are tied into blockchain. And really when you get involved in the industry, you'll see that it covers a great many different enterprise applications. Okay, so let's just take a look at some of the things we're going to look at for the panel discussion. And what I want to do right now is go down and let's see if I can pull up my panel discussion participants. That's really where I want to go to. So I'm just going to start off here. And of course we have Daniela Barbosa. Daniela, I really want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing up to this career fair. It's wonderful to have you. She's the general manager of blockchain healthcare and identity and a hyperledger executive director. So she's really the person that's leading the charge and really the main champion for hyperledger. So Daniela, thanks for joining us today. Really appreciate it. We also have Melanie Cutland and Melanie is a definitive expert in the blockchain space who's had many speaking engagements and really is just a great resource at Accenture. Right now she's doing the Accenture Metaverse Continuum Business Group, which I want to hear a lot more about because that's exciting and that's very cutting edge and really ties in blockchain and NFTs and everything going on in the Metaverse, which is wonderful. So Melanie, thanks for joining us as well. I don't know if Bill got a chance to get on the call. Bill, if you're on, maybe you can just come off mute. I was communicating with him and he had the DTCC team that's gonna have a booth today but I don't know if Bill was able to join us. Anybody from DTCC want to come off mute and just touch base? Hi, John. It's Jim again. Yeah, Jim. Of course, Jim will be the representative. Right, but no, I'm not from HR though but certainly I do work at DTCC but if Bill were here, somebody else from the HR side would be better because they have more resources to connect with on the HR and then I do. Okay, and I'll just say, DTCC is a great hyperledger member and they really manage the quadrillions of dollars that go through, whether that's bond or stock settlement and it's just a great company.  So great company, glad to see Jim's with us. We should have more people as we get to the fair itself. Then we have Nico Geier. Nico, I know, has joined us today and Nico's done a wonderful job of working with Kaleido and working on the Firefly Project. You can see that in his background there and he's the senior full-stack engineer at Kaleido but Nico's really a great resource and I'm really impressed with the work that Firefly has done recently because they've really put a lot of investment into the Hyperledger Firefly Project and it's really well-adopted and anyone interested in really blockchain as a service or anything related to that, Kaleido is a great company to work with. And then G. Joe Joseph, I don't know if G. Joe's on and was he able to join us? I think I saw him. I don't think I saw him either. Yeah, I'll send him and Bill a note. Okay, yeah, no problem, just check in with them and let's just maybe fire into some of the questions here and what I can do is since we have Tracy and we have, let's see, Dano on here, would you like to join us on the panel discussion? I'll find a place I can do good audio stuff right now. I'm just trying to look, see, Dano and Tracy, if you're interested, let me know, otherwise I'm going to move forward and work with the three that I have today. Dano, you must be on mute. Dano mentioned he was not in a good place for audio right now. And I think Melanie will cover the Accenture site pretty well. We'll just have Melanie cover that. Okay, no problem, Tracy. It's always great to have you and thanks for joining us for the previous session. Okay, so let's just go ahead and I'm going to fire into this a little bit. So I'm going to kick this off with Melanie. And so Melanie, why don't you tell me a little bit about Accenture's great work and what kind of roles and opportunities that Accenture is hiring for now. And the other thing I'd really like for you to focus on is talk a little bit more about the metaverse work that you're doing as well. So maybe just give us a 360 as far as what Accenture's doing in space right now. Fantastic. It's great to be here on this panel with lots of people. We were also at a hyperledgic global forum within just a couple of weeks ago in Dublin. So it's great to be with this group. We recently moved, actually a couple of years ago we moved our XR and blockchain teams together under one umbrella under Dave Treat. And in doing that, what we realized was the multiplier effect what we're calling the internet of place and the internet of ownership that drive the future of the metaverse which is kind of reimagining how companies and users can work towards. Can you hear me okay? Yeah. Yes, you're coming through fine. Thanks. Just how companies engage with their enterprise, how they engage in industrial use cases and how they engage with consumers is really changing. And so what I think is interesting as we talk about our blockchain depth is we've been in this enterprise blockchain space for a long time, right? Money, identity and objects but now we wanna be able to carry them from virtual place to virtual place as well. So we're seeing an expansion of use cases but also a continued double down on the value pools that have existed in blockchain for quite some time. So as we think of that we need everything from strategists, innovators, entrepreneurs that are helping to rethink how does blockchain allow you to do new things in your industry and across your multiple party ecosystem as well as we need architects and engineers that can help bring this to life, right? So we've got positions out there. You just Google Accenture Metaverse Careers. You'll find all of our blockchain jobs in your location as well. And I've got postings kind of open around the world. We need both the people who understand identity deeply, right? Verifiable credentials and something that's so big in this space. People that understand how financial infrastructure works today, how digital money moves around the world and people that understand how supply chains and value chains across healthcare and energy transition really move across the board. So it's an amazing team to be a part of because we're really on the cutting edge of rethinking and reimagining. And if you don't know much about Accenture as a whole, we work with the Global 2000, the Fortune 500. We work with the brands and names that you would know and recognize and help them strategically think about how to reinvent and then build out the capabilities as well as run it in the long-term. So we'd like to have those lifelong relationships with our clients that really transform and then measure the outcomes and values. And because of our long-term relationship with our clients in the space, we're often much more than project-focused but how do you actually get value with this tech, not just do tech for tech's sake? So I think it's a lot of fun to be here. Yeah, no, that's wonderful. I know you've worked on some very high-end projects with a lot of the great companies that are Hyperledger members as well. And every time I hear Accenture mentioned, it's always, well, they do great work in that team. And I think it'd really be great for anyone who's here at the career fair to really join such a great company as Accenture. So thanks for joining us. Thanks, John, for always being supportive. Oh yeah, absolutely. Nico, I'm gonna jump over to you and just talk a little bit about, you know, demand within Kaleido for blockchain resources and what you're looking for. So go ahead, Nico, it's up to you. Sure, absolutely. Thank you, John. Yeah, so Kaleido, as you may know, is a Web3 infrastructure company and we are a growing company. So we definitely have a lot of different roles open. All of our roles are focused on a blockchain in some way or another, whether they are an engineering role, which we have a lot of open roles. We also have some designing and marketing roles open as well. But, you know, everyone at Kaleido is doing something and knows about blockchain. So every role is related to blockchain at our company, which is really awesome. But yeah, we have a variety of both, you know, software engineering and cycle liability engineering roles. And like I said, we're growing. So we're looking to continue to hire awesome engineers and also some designers and marketing folks as well. Yeah, that's perfect. The main thing, Nico, I'd like you to talk a little bit more about Kaleido itself because, you know, you've done a lot of great work in the blockchain as a service space, but you're growing. So maybe talk a little bit more on the background of Kaleido just to kind of give people a better flavor for your company. Sure, yeah, thank you. So yeah, as John mentioned, you know, we really started out our core business as a blockchain as a service platform where you could go easily create an account and click a couple of buttons and then you would have your own private blockchain running in the cloud to deploy and run business, enterprise-grade blockchain applications against. And it was your own blockchain. It was super easy to manage from the console and it was really awesome. We still have all that. We continue to expand that core service that we have. We support Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Basu and various other flavors of Ethereum-based chains and also Quarta are the kind of the three main types of blockchains that you can run on the Kaleido platform as well as we recently brought in Polygon Edge as well as another type of Ethereum chain that you can run there. But yeah, Kaleido has grown from just that original blockchain platform as a service. One of the major things that we offer is what we describe as a consortium as a service. So allowing companies to come, whether it's a consortium of companies such as insurance companies or healthcare companies or financial companies that all want to work together, perform business transactions back by blockchain and let Kaleido run and manage the infrastructure for them. And so we offer that as a service on top of our platform and it's super easy to build what is really a quite complex network of infrastructure and Kaleido just makes that really easy. That's, if you haven't figured it out yet, the name of the game is making things that are really complicated, really easy. That's what we're about. But then, yeah, so within the last year and a half or so, we built a lot of blockchain apps and over the course, over the history of Kaleido, we saw patterns that were in all of our apps that we're building. And we said, gee, wouldn't it be really nice if there was a common platform that we could build apps on top of that had all of these building blocks that we keep building newer and better versions of, but like, wouldn't it be great if there was a platform that had all these building blocks in it already and we could just build on top of that and let the platform worry about all of these things? And this is where Hyperledger Firefly came from. So we said, boy, wouldn't it be great if there was a platform that did this and wouldn't it be even better if it was an open source platform that did this? So Kaleido originally donated the original code base for Hyperledger Firefly and many of the maintainers are Kaleido employees. So I work on Firefly pretty much full time in my role at Kaleido, which is awesome. I love working on open source software. I'm super excited that I get to do it professionally. But I could talk for a long time about what Firefly is, but that's not what this session is about. Go see one of our other videos on YouTube or come to a conference or something, but Firefly is super cool and Kaleido is really invested in it. And Kaleido offers Firefly as a service with super tight integration to the rest of our platform services as well. Yeah, no, that's perfect, Nico. And I'll say I've been on the Firefly contributor calls and it's really exciting technology. And I think there's a lot of people who really want to adopt blockchain but really don't have the desire or the skillset to really fire up a whole bunch of nodes and really a company like Kaleido and Firefly really solved that problem. So just a great company to work with. Okay, perfect. Now, Danielle, I'm gonna move on to you and I figured I would wait for you because you kind of give the overall industry perspective as well as what you're seeing in the Hyperledger community. So tell me what you see as far as demand for skills and projects that are succeeding, companies that have great work, just what you're seeing. So first I wanna thank John for organizing these career fairs. It's really a great resource for the community to connect with many of our members and companies in our ecosystem who are hiring. And we're certainly seeing continued hiring of demand for blockchain related roles as well. Couple of things. John is a volunteer of our community. The Hyperledger Foundation is we're an open source community. We have hundreds of thousands of people around the world, individuals that participate in one way or another. Some just follow us on Twitter. Others might be a member of our meetup communities. Others are going to be maintainers and contributors to the code projects or perhaps leaders or participants in any of our special interest groups. We have hundreds of ways that you as an individual can participate and start contributing to our global community. We are very global. We have six regional chapters now, including regional chapters in Latin America, Brazil, Africa, Asia, as well as other regions. So we're really a global organization of volunteers. We do have a small staff, staff members that support our communities. But really it is about the community members like John and Jim and the member companies like Accenture and Kaleido, DTCC and the others that are here today that are really supporting the ecosystem of what we're doing, of building open source enterprise grade blockchain and blockchain related projects. It is really a great community. For those of you who are participating, I see a lot of names that I recognize. Welcome to today's session.  This is a place for you to not only learn critical skills of technology that is going to help build future infrastructures and future systems, but it also is a great place for you to connect with others and build relationships. Jim and a couple of the speakers already mentioned our recent global forum. Earlier I posted on the link the sessions, the videos so you can catch up on all the videos and stuff, but take a look at the pictures of our community together in Dublin. It had been two and a half years since we got together. You're gonna see a lot of common people here on the video, but it's been two and a half years of this community continually to build, to grow, to really nurture individuals, to nurture technologists and developers around the world who wanna use technology to do better, to build better, to do better in the world. And you see many of the faces here, Jim, Nico, Melanie, Tracy, they were there. It is a great community and it is a great opportunity for, as I said, to volunteer to start participating in our open source community. We are open to all, all are welcome regardless of what skill sets you have. And it's a great place to meet people. Obviously when you work for a company like Accenture and Kaleido and DTCC, you also get to go to places like Dublin and meet other people and get work done. I can't tell you how much work was done in Dublin that is done in many of these meetings where people come together around the table, they decide on projects or common projects that they might be working on with their partners or their customers and really advance the enterprise blockchain use cases by coming together. So encourage you, I'll post it again in a second. I encourage you to read through and watch a lot of the video, the content, reach out to the speakers, get engaged and join our community. To answer John's question, and let me just put it up here. Trying to double, okay, so that's where all the video, the second link is all the video and the speaker information and the details. Get a fresh look as to what is happening in the Hyperledger Foundation. For those of you who might know Hyperledger from many years ago, what we've developed and what the community has built out over the last seven years has really met the pace of the market, of where these technologies are being implemented, whether it's in Web 3 or Metaverse, whether it's in central bank digital currencies and really lots of payment use cases in healthcare. There's a lot of fantastic work that's happening and I encourage everybody to take a look if you haven't taken a look at what Hyperledger Foundation is today to do and look at it. For us, we are driven by our community and our members and the needs that the companies have. We do also have a job board that we help our companies meet and I'll put that in there. We have a job board, we have sessions like this that John Carpenter and the rest of the team here is volunteering to do, to be connected. There are many ways that you can get engaged, make a name for yourself. One of the things that I'll post some links in a second is this is an opportunity for you to make a name for yourself, to educate yourself and to build, to network and build relationships not just with the hiring managers, they might be on the phone here, but with the developers, with Nico and his team who are day in, day out at the code level and it's a great opportunity to do so. We have these meetups globally. John sponsors the Denver one that we federate out to many groups, find the meetup page, communicate with people that are part of the network and I think it really helps to do that. So the market for enterprise skill sets for people who want to build real enterprise grade solutions, people who want to make a difference is I think very strong and you'll hear from the hiring teams here. So I'll end there and happy to take any questions as we go along John. Yeah, and that's wonderful, Danielle. And I think you gave everyone a great overview of what's going on in the community and it's really a community. Hyperledger is a community and there's such a ton of resources available and people are very friendly and willing to help you and what I would just recommend is check out the Hyperledger Discord channel. If you're interested in learning about projects and seeing the people who are actually working on those projects, that's a great place to engage. And if you ask the question, you'll get a great response and to me, I've always seen this very timely as far as people engaging with Discord and getting back to you. So that's wonderful. Okay, so let's jump a little bit more here down to defining the blockchain roles. And so I'm gonna go back to Melanie. And I know Melanie, you've covered a lot of different things from how blockchain works within Accenture, some of the metaverse, some of the other things that are connected there. So really, from your perspective, how is blockchain roles really defined within Accenture? Maybe you can just hit on that. Yeah, if I could maybe comment on one thing Danielle has said at the end, which inspired me to. Hyperledger Foundation is the one place where people are talking about projects that are integrating with each other. And it is the place to do blockchain work that is cross, not just I'm putting up my thing, right? But it's actually that community that drives engagement across actual value chains where you're seeing companies collaborate together where we're actually having some of those tough discussions around how do these products and services work? So I would encourage all of you I was having fun flipping through the pictures. I was listening to you and I was also looking at the pictures. But it's a great place to be and it's a great place where you can lean in right away. And I know Tracy who works with us but also leads a technical steering committee, which I think just got renamed on Hyperledger and so is engaged with the community. There's a ton you can do today to get familiar with Hyperledger projects to get some content and exposure even before you've applied for a job. So that I like the way that Hyperledger tries to make like emerging technology accessible, right? Accessible to everybody in that and all of the learning boards and things about all the different projects I think are fantastic. So we simply, we have blockchain tagged in all of our roles and job descriptions at Accenture and we're actually finding even though so our heart of our blockchain team sits in our Metaverse Continuum Business Group as a business group, we have blockchain now embedded in roles everywhere, right? So if I search for blockchain roles they may end up in a supply chain role where they're working on track and trace and value chains or a healthcare project. And it's a common skill set now that we measure we have thousands of people who are skilled and specialized in blockchain today. So as I mentioned, right? Architects and engineers all day, every day full stack developers as well as specialized skill sets. We have tons of training available and are constantly training our teams because this is not a place where you could walk in and say, I have 10 years of experience with something that was invented two years ago, right? So the talent pools are different in this space. And I think that that is something just, I get a lot of questions of help me understand what does it look like? I haven't done this before but I wanna make a leap into this space. I think you have to demonstrate those core foundational skills. You gotta show the aptitude to wanna learn and get engaged and kind of learn outside of your core as you bring relevant skills then to the table as well as the innovation and the strategist roles that help us to apply it. I like to say there's kind of three areas. Is industry focus, there's content domain focus like money, identity, value chains and there's tech focus, right? Which actual pieces of the tech stack do you know and understand or you brought enterprise architecture or you a specialist in one space in the tech stack? So as you look at industry content or technology there's a whole, usually you pick one as your major and the others are your minors and it's okay to have a minor in things as well and bring that round experience to the table because we need to build diverse teams with diverse thinking and that diversity of thought comes from different areas and brings that in together and it is super important, right? And I think building that culture of everyone has a voice and we're contributing to open source projects like hyperledgercactus and bevel and others. So those are things you can even get familiar with and download the GitHub now and get familiar with even before applying to a role if you're looking for a technical specific role. Yeah, no, that's a wonderful overview Melanie and really it shows that blockchain can be across a lot of different verticals within Accenture and a role that may be heavily focused on let's say supply chain like you talked about may actually have a blockchain component as well. So really people can look at their CV or their resume and say, okay, I have supply chain experience really like blockchain. Maybe I can get into a role that kind of leverages both like you say your major and minor that you kind of talked about in Accenture, which is great. One other thing I'm gonna just put in here in the chat is just talk about the learning materials working group right now and just if you go to that page and take a look at the resources there there's really a lot of great resources that hyperledger offers and edX offers to get upskilled if you're interested in that. I think that kind of highlights what Melanie is talking about is you might be an expert in a certain thing like let's say supply chain but you wanna build that minor and understand blockchain as it ties into supply chain. So definitely look at that as a resource and there's a lot of great resources that hyperledger offers at no cost that you can get in there and really upskill. So, Nick, I'm gonna jump over to you again and talking about roles within your company I think you did a great job of highlighting that it's not just developers but why don't you talk about Kaleido and really kind of the skills you're looking for in related to blockchain. Sure, yeah, so I can speak first and foremost to engineering just I am an engineer so I'm a bit more familiar with the specific skills there but yeah, the question says how do we distinguish between blockchain role versus other roles referring back to my previous answer we don't because they're all blockchain roles. But yeah, in terms of how we kind of what our specific roles look like within engineering, we have full stack engineering we have backend engineering we have cyber liability engineering and we have some folks that have a little bit more of a leaning toward front end as well. But really, we are a startup so people wear a lot of hats and the actual title that we have doesn't necessarily like there's a lot to do and people move around pretty easily which I have really enjoyed the freedom and the flexibility of that to just be able to work on whatever the company needs and I like working on new things I like learning new things and I always enjoy having a fresh challenge and so it's a fantastic environment for that. So leaning into what John asked what are we looking for? And it's really, I'll just throw it out there like when I interviewed at Kaleido I did not have experience in blockchain before that. So that was new to me. So we are like having prior blockchain experience is awesome if you haven't already but like Melanie just said you can't have 10 years of experience with a particular technology if the technology has only been around for two years blockchain's been around a little longer than that but certain things within the blockchain space are like it's evolving really quickly. So a lot of learning is done on the job. So ultimately we're looking for engineers that love to get stuff done to move really quickly and to take on big new challenges and learn a lot because there's a lot of learning to be done. Yeah, no, that's perfect. And I think that that gives a great perspective to the attendees as well, Nico because you know, we have a great consulting company international consulting company in Accenture and now we have kind of more of the startup mentality with Kaleido, which is wonderful. So Danielle, I'm gonna come back to you and talk about more from an industry wide perspective what are you seeing as far as hyper ledger members or just the industry in general as how they're defining blockchain roles and if you're seeing any specific instances where you wanna get across to the members that showed up here how they would wanna, you know, approach those. I think, you know, from a developer talent to Nico's point I think a lot of blockchain use cases so companies that are either building blockchain networks for example or other solutions or they are participating in blockchain networks, right? As a company comes in and perhaps you're participating in a supply chain network or a trade finance network the skills from the engineers in house or the engineers that they are bringing on board might not be I'm a blockchain engineer but understanding the basic premises of DLT technologies understanding the basic premises and of for example, decentralized identity are important aspects of it. So I agree with Nico's comments that it's not necessarily a blockchain related job just for people who are experts in blockchain. So we're seeing that quite a bit where as these networks as these projects are operationalized, right? They're going into production they're going into a different phase of the company structure they need individuals who for example can be administrators of these networks, right? They need individuals who can for example write good product marketing material or documentation so that the end users of the tools are able to understand how it works. So what we're seeing now and I think you see this across the job roles that our member companies have open is that it's no longer I need a blockchain developer but I need employees who understand the basics concepts and are able to explain it for example or like I said, write documentation or lead the press for us because we are a developer community, right? The majority of the job postings for example that you might see on our job board there are some business and marketing ones and I've seen those expand are for developers, right? Are for people who have or who want to be developers and have the skills but basic blockchain concepts understanding the who, the what and the how of blockchain related technologies is no longer just for developers. I think up to one of our courses that we have the Linux Foundation introduction to blockchain course we launched in 2017, we have updated that we update that the yearly basis and we update the modules in it over 300,000 people have taken that course and been educated on that course and the importance of that is that we're educating the market, right? From business executives to developers to marketers is how do you talk about the business benefits of blockchain? We just launched a new course on self-sovereign identity so a very important concept that I think if you fast forward to five years everybody is gonna have to have a fundamental understanding of digital decentralized identity and self-sovereign identity and I know the rest of the panelists can talk about that quite a bit. So like I said, if you go to the training page you'll find that as a new course it's free, it's self-service on edX but those are the kinds of skills that people need and not just at companies what we're seeing also, which is very exciting is government institutions around the world in the US and Canada and Europe and Asia Pacific who are now implementing and working with both the private sector and the public sector to implement blockchain and blockchain related projects into their infrastructure and that I think is a very interesting opportunity for people who are looking for jobs because the federal government is hiring and these skills are in demand and look at the big companies that are here but also take a look at the public sector and for those of us who've always wanted to be do-gooders in our life, I get to work for a nonprofit so I'm living the dream. It's also an opportunity to do so and I know certainly a lot of the big companies have federal teams that support some of these large implementations so maybe they can answer that as well. Yeah, I think that's very relevant and I talked to a lot of people in the public sector, Daniela, and see that they're looking for blockchain roles. Jim, I know you've done a lot in the public sector as well prior to DTCC, so you can definitely attest to that as well. Yeah, I was fortunate to work as the public sector group leader for a couple of years now, get to participate and learn about a lot of the public sector projects and so on and actually at the global forum, I got to share the stage, I'll say with Liz Tanner who is the Secretary of Commerce for the State of Rhode Island and they, to Daniela's point, actually were one of the first to do a self sovereign identity project in the US and the good news as Daniela suggests is that's actually a big area. So Rhode Island's planning on moving forward with that but actually there's a lot of projects around the world not only public sector groups, but also industry groups saying that they need to have that digital identity based on self sovereign identity. So I'm actually involved at DTCC and a bunch of those projects actually right now. So there's quite a few of those and I know in the supply chain space, GS1 and so the other organizations out there are also doing a lot of the identity work as well. So it is everywhere as Daniela suggested. Perfect. Okay, so I'm gonna kind of combine the last couple here and then I wanna make sure we have a little bit of time for Q and A from the audience. So the thing I wanna ask Melanie is really looking at how candidates can best build their skills for applying to Accenture and then what is your best piece of advice to people who wanna come to work for Accenture as far as what they wanna scale up on and how they wanna apply. So go ahead, Melanie, over to you. Awesome, and it's such a great question. And you said it earlier on, we're a big consulting company versus Nico gets to be at a startup and there's a bit of a different culture. We are a consulting client service business first and foremost, right? And as a consulting client service business, no matter what your role is, we have a new trend of we wanna be loved by our clients, right? Like being able to communicate in ways and work through conflict and create these global experiences that are really interesting to really bring everything together, right? So it's the whole package in a consulting workforce, whether you're doing, you know, leading the project or you're defining requirements or you're actually building the pieces of requirements in the stack, like all of that has to be done in a client service business mindset. So making sure that you have those soft skills as well as those deep technical skills because content always wins in your career in a consulting business, right? If you know what you're talking about, you can demonstrate that and you can move from context to context. So the agility and the context switching happen often because you may be on one project in one industry and another project in another industry even though there's that major minor right piece behind it. So being able to demonstrate agility and just flexibility as requirements change and in blockchain, things are changing all the time and they're all around us, they're changing and often you're writing the rules, right? We're writing standards or writing the rules of engagement so much of these products. So I think it's building confidence in your core skills so that you can bring them to different and unique areas in different ways but kind of in that way as a client service business, no matter what your level is, you've probably got a client counterpart that's up here that's going to be engaging with you and kind of bringing that back to that core value of serving our clients every day but building teams that we often are in the best place to work and I think it's because we have the best people, right? That really engage and care for each other in an environment where, you know, building, we may not be the best at, we've seen projects that don't know how to estimate when you're building something which gosh has never been built before. So how do you protect, you know, work-life balance and really care for your teams and such. So all of that culture is important. I think the best piece of advice for me is really is to learn what you know, know what you know and be strong in that, right? And be confident in it because if you can express that through the short interview process, it's very hard to interview people and really get to it. If you can confidently express what you know well and where you want experience to learn and where you're flexible around it, I think you can really be successful through that process but it's really about building confidence as you're making the leap into a new space. Yeah, no, that's a perfect assessment and great advice, Melanie. I think everyone on the call can benefit from that and it sounds like a perfect way to intersect with Accenture. Nika, over to you. As far as, you know, Canada's building their skill set and then your best piece of advice, why don't you let way into that for us? Sure, yeah. So, obviously getting hands-on experience with stuff in the blockchain world is super useful, super cool. I think beyond that, when I'm talking with people that are interested in working at Kaleido when I'm interviewing, things that I look for are a curiosity and a passion about software and about technology and people who love to learn new things and try new things and take on new challenges. And there's a lot of ways you can do that. Even, you know, you can move around in your current organization, work for different teams, get exposure to different subject matter areas but there's a lot you can do on your own too. You know, a lot of times I'll have a, you know, something I'm working on at work but then when I go home, I'm also, you know, whether I'm learning a new programming language or things like that, it's just like, I love what I do for work and so that drives what I research and tinker with and experiment with in my free time a lot of times too. Some practical things like just getting involved in open source projects is a really great way to get familiar with like, how does the open source world work? How does software get from like, I have this idea of this thing that I wanna do to actually merge and shipped in and released in a new version of the software. Every project is a little bit different. Hyperledger tends to be consistent within project to project but there's a lot of open source projects that are not hyperledger projects as well. So, you know, open source contributions are a great thing to, yeah, they're great to put on your resume but I think more valuable than that is just the experience of working with the community of other developers that may be all around the world. But yeah, so just, you know, I would encourage people, you know, be curious, be passionate about software and about learning and take on new challenges. And those are all things that I look for when I'm talking with a candidate that is interested in working at Colidoo. Yeah, no, that's perfect, Nikko. And you actually hit on passionate which I heard throughout your presentation there and I said, yeah, you're passionate about what you're working on. It's really gonna be a great outcome. And I think, you know, people pursuing their passion and it dovetails with what they're working on really makes for a great combination. Okay, Daniela, so, you know, from the overall industry and hyperledger perspective, you know, what is your advice as far as building their skill sets and what is your personal recommendation to people that are looking to get into the space? Yeah, I mean, I think that the hyperledger foundation our community is a great place to get involved because we are open. Anyone could participate, it's never pay for play. You have so many options to participate in and we encourage you to do that. And every staff member that is on my team, I'm sure if you run into them, they'll assist you if you need any assistance. Or, you know, I only have one hour a week that I can invest into the hyperledger community. What should I do? And we're happy to answer that. So, you know, take a leap of faith.  And you can ask, you can ask questions that maybe you're a little scared to do so in front of a crowd, but please, you know, join any of our meetups, our community groups, take advantage of the learning courses that I've been posting that are free to access and, you know, you run these courses on your own schedule and ask and, you know, say hello to people, you know, join a meetup and, you know, say hello to them on the chat. Connect with them on LinkedIn. I am already getting some connections on LinkedIn. Thank you, Michelle. You know, like, these are the kind of things when you're in a situation like this, connect with folks and I think you'll get it from me and everybody here, everybody I know in the hyperledger community, all our members, if you reach out to them and you ask them for questions, they're most likely all gonna be very helpful to you. So, don't be shy and, you know, reach out to us and jump right in. John, can I make one more point following Danielle on not just the community, about how you, in a sense, close the gap productively on learning something new, especially in this community. So, because I'm the oldest person I've ever met in the world, I've been learning lots of things forever and so I would say I'm a professional student having been learning everything all the time and the thing that struck me developed the theory of what are they called knowledge holes that when I was at IBM, they didn't think that way.  One of the advantages of this great global community and all the, in a sense, the openness and the inclusion that everybody in the community has is I know I can ask anybody and believe me, I've asked Nico many times but I'll ask lots of other people for help on how do I get to learn whatever that concept is like self sovereign identity quickly. The thing that the tricky thing about this stuff is we all come from a different place. So sometimes I have no knowledge of anything that's even relevant for maybe a specific concept or a technology and sure that's a long distance but more often than not, you have a background that is a partial fit to a lot of things. So in many cases, I'll say, somebody will say, well, I don't know anything except how to spell blockchain and nothing about it. And I'll ask him like, well, okay, have you ever worked with a database and they'll say, yes, I said, okay, great because all of a sudden I can cut the distance from where they actually are and what they already know to make it a lot shorter to introduce what I call the new stuff. And so really learning is about being, it's a productivity exercise. And all I'll say is I would encourage you with all of the resources that Linux Foundation and Hyperledger have to reach out to all of these people to help you figure out how to shorten your own roadmap to get into one of these technologies quickly. Yeah, absolutely. And I'll just highlight one other thing that Daniela said, which I totally agree with is the Hyperledger staff is exceptional. And anytime that I've ever asked for any help with anything or needed assistance, they're really exceptional about getting back to us and making sure things are going smoothly. So hats off to Daniela and the team over there. Okay, so the next thing is, we're kind of running into a time crunch here. So I guess I'll just ask the three panelists quickly if you have any closing thoughts around the career fair or anything you wanna say about recruiting for your company and then we'll close out and we'll move on to the next stage here. So Melanie, any closing thoughts around Accenture or anything you wanna just add to the discussion? I would just say you guys have made a good choice to come learn about something that is emerging, that is new, that is different, but is also, as Jim said, right anchored in so much that we know today. So you've made a fantastic choice. I'm looking forward to getting to know more of you. Perfect. Nikhil, how about yourself? Yeah, thanks, John. I think I said this in part one, but I'll say it again, you don't sell yourself short. If you have skills, especially engineering skills, they are, you probably are already more equipped to move into a blockchain role than you might think already. And so be bold, put yourself out there, be upfront about what you know and what you have experience with, but go for it. And don't sell yourself short. Don't think that a blockchain is too complicated. I could never learn that. Yeah, there's a lot to learn, but it's really cool and we're all learning together. Perfect. Okay, and Danielle, I'm gonna close with you. Final comments? Sure. Once again, thank you for the organizers and the members who are participating. I know that I've seen a couple of times that people have some Q&A. So I think they might have some Q&A for the panelists and if we can take a couple of questions, I think the panelists will be okay before we break out into the room. That's fine, Danielle. I just wanna make sure we're covering everything. We're staying on schedule. So let's do what Danielle says. So if someone has a question they wanna ask, I guess come off mute and ask your question and then address it to whoever on the panel you'd like it to be answered by. Or, Danielle, if you see great questions in the chat or Melanie or Nico, feel free to pull them out and address them if you found relevant to your company. Yeah, so- A question for Nico. Go ahead. I'm spending hours and hours in learning a lot of first things. But one thing what I found over the period of time is I get lost all the time because there are so much information available and so many chains and so many things. But at this stage, I feel that like every time I start I'm starting the same thing again and again. Is that a roadmap which is available so that I can follow the concept not the same thing in every different chain? Yeah, it's a great question. So maybe I know there are lots of great free courses out there that maybe can guide you through that journey of learning. And one other thing I'll throw out there too may not be what you're looking for but maybe it'll be helpful is Hyperledger has what we call the greenhouse. I don't know if someone wants to drop the link to that in there while I'm speaking but basically it's a map of all of the different Hyperledger projects and what they are and the role that they fill because many Hyperledger projects work together and it can be a little overwhelming because there are so many of them. And so that could help kind of guide you in terms of getting started and understanding what each of these things are. Thank you. Yeah. Hey, Arun, how you question? Yeah, hi, Arun Desai. Thanks for letting me ask this question. This is for Melanie from Accenture. Hello, Melanie. Just to give you a background, I'm a cloud, polyglot cloud architect and done some couple of courses with blockchain and want to excel in Hyperledger. So I would want to know that Accenture being the world's biggest consulting organization and service sector and also in the service sector. What are the overlapping skills which would help me take a big leap towards the blockchain in Accenture or any other big service industry? Yeah, I mean, I think cloud skills matter, right? Like even if you just look at Hyperledger, Bevel, it's a DevOps platform, right? That enables the ability to roll out nodes very quickly and seamlessly across an ecosystem, especially in your distributed system. But I think, Daniela posted a number of the links to the learning programs through Hyperledger. It's also about learning the... We know what things look like in a controlled centralized environment, like a big cloud environment where you've got a data center and everything is controlled and governed in a certain way and how do you apply those rules into enterprise solutions so you can stay safe and secure as the solutions need to meet those requirements as we grow. So I think it's really spending some time going through finding the projects that are interesting to you and kind of doing that curious learning. So what do you do, say Hyperledger, which is the DevOps environment, Hyperledger? Bevel. Devel, can you put it in the chat? Sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding. Oh, thank you. Bevel, okay, yes, I got it. Thank you. Thank you. That's all from my side. We'll see you all in the breakout room. All right. Perfect. I have a quick question about the rules for blockchain, like you were saying before. I have a lot of technology background, but my background is primarily soft skills, trading and development, process mapping, those type of things, Lean Six Sigma. What would a blockchain role be that somebody that could speak to the technology be like a relationship manager and be able to explain the system? What type of roles would you guys be or what would there be available so I can look for keywords or different roles to search for? Was that to me or Nico? I feel like Tracy can answer that. That was to anyone, I'm sorry. Anyone, I feel like Tracy can answer that almost best. Tracy, you wanna come off mute and answer that? That'd be wonderful. Yeah, for sure. So I think it's an interesting question that I have found that in my career, so I was a hyperleder community architect. I spent actually quite a bit of time developing some of those training materials that Daniela says being updated yearly, I think being able to develop that is a good sort of skill to have. I also have found that at Accenture, one of the things that I've been involved in is developing a couple of different courses when we have a blockchain technology architecture course, which basically looks at all of the different sorts of private permissioned blockchains and does a comparing contrast of those, works through some of the architectural trade-offs of choosing one platform over the other, putting together the requirements, understanding what the requirements of your project are and picking the technology that best suits that. The other course that I've helped develop at Accenture is focused on decentralized identity and really what does that look like from an architecture perspective. So it's an interesting question that you asked because I think there are lots of different sorts of careers that could potentially lead to that. In my case, it was an architect career, where I was specifically looking to help educate people on the different sorts of technologies that exist out there. It's something that just wasn't what I was necessarily signed up for, but it is something that I think it was very useful. And I do think there's other places, say at Accenture, where we have to, part of what we do is help people understand these new technologies that are coming out and that these technologies are emerging. And so that could be somebody in our go-to-market teams who is working with the different clients that we work with and having those conversations around what this technology is, how it can best be used for determining the different sorts of value pools that this particular client might be looking at. And so what are the right keywords to look for? I'm not quite sure I have a good answer for that, but I would suggest that because of the space that we're in, there is a lot of education and a lot of communicating what these things are to others, regardless of, I think, which particular career path that you had done. I appreciate that, thank you. Thank you. Okay, perfect. Thank you, Tracy, for joining us and answering that. That was wonderful. Anyone else have any specific questions before we kind of move on to the next segment here? Just take a look here. And if not, then what I'm going to do is just give you a few pointers here before we move on and make sure that when you're looking for any type of job, you're mindful of your online presence and personal brand. Tell your resume cover letter and LinkedIn profile to really the roles you wanna try and apply for, be prepared for anything and research the company culture. Those are always good things. Be pleasant to everyone you encounter in your search, whether that's the first person you encounter or anyone along the interview path. And then always apply to multiple jobs where you see a good fit, not just focus on a single job because you may be a great fit for multiple jobs and the one that pops up may be of the multitude you apply to. Send your follow-up emails quickly and effectively and really communicate how much you wanna get the role, keep track of which jobs you applied to so you know when you get responses back from the companies, what you're working with and how you can respond. And then really what we were talking about here is really the networking and learn job keywords and also network with industry participants. And I think even a session like this is a great networking opportunity where you're talking to the industry leaders and they can give you insights and how to get into the industry and get a new role. So I think all those are important. The other thing I wanna just highlight here is just if you haven't already, share your LinkedIn profile and email address in the chat and we're gonna capture all those and share those with the recruiting companies. So I think that's a critical component. And then so right now what we're gonna do is we're going to go into breakout rooms and I see that we've got the DTCC team here as well. And so I'm gonna go ahead and just from Melanie and Tracy's perspective, how many breakout rooms would you like this time for Accenture? Do you want one or two breakout rooms? Let's just do one. And Tracy, if you wanna. Yeah. Yeah, just one John. Okay, great. Let's just go for one. I'm gonna go ahead and just create four rooms here and I'm gonna let the participants choose their own room. And so the first one, I'm just gonna rename it here to DTCC. And then all the recruiting professionals who have showed up today, just please go into the room what we've named for you and then we'll go from there. Okay, so we've got Accenture and then we're gonna have Colito and then I'll leave one open in case we wanna go ahead and augment it with anybody else who wants to have a room set up. So I'm gonna go ahead and create three plus a buffer room. So I'm gonna go ahead and open all the rooms now and then just go ahead and join the room and what I would welcome you to do and this is what great for the last time is join and talk to all three of the companies that are here today to get their perspective and find out what roles are available. So definitely go ahead and do that. I'm gonna go ahead and broadcast it here and then feel free to just go ahead and join one and I'll go ahead and just kind of jump in between rooms and make sure everything's going smooth for everyone. And then Jim and I will kind of also go back up to the top here so that if anyone has any questions while they're going through the process, feel free to jump back up to the top and either Jim or I will answer your questions and go from there. And Daniela, if you'd like, I can go ahead and assign a room for Hyperledger if you'd like to talk to people. I'm sorry, I'll stay in the big room. People can come cycle back in. Okay, no problem, Daniel. You know, I'm here to help and support the team. So if you want a room, we'll go for one ready to go. I'll stay in the main one. Okay, great. This is my favorite part when everybody kind of zooms into the verse. Yeah, and if you want me to assign you to a room, I can do it through my interface too. So like I see Feliciano, I'm just gonna go ahead and put people in there, you know, just because I want everyone to kind of join all the rooms. And to answer, Rune has a question of how do you do it? So at the bottom of your Zoom, there's where the more, and then you just select breakout rooms and then you pick this breakout room that you want. Yep. Rune, let us know if you still need help. Yeah, thanks for joining the rooms, John. I can see, actually I do see a DTCC room and I see three of my teammates are in the DTCC room as well. So there's the resource there to answer questions. And I'm just gonna go ahead, since it looks like we've got down to maybe 14 people left that haven't jumped in a room, so I'm just gonna assign people to different rooms.   And John, just to confirm, do you want the live stream to stop now? Yeah, we can go ahead and stop the live stream. Thank you very much, David. I appreciate your wonderful help. And I'm just trying to make sure everyone gets in a room.
