Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope. Today's weekly channeling video is with a special guest, someone who I really enjoy talking to is sort of like a mentor or advisor in spirit form to me. And you probably know her as well. If not, it would be good for you to get to know her and her work and her business. Her name is Louise Hay. Louise Hay is the founder of Hay House Publishing and she created a whole incredibly booming business based upon her strong values of believing in people, of equity, of opportunity. And she truly, truly was a trailblazer in human form and in the afterlife. She is an incredible mentoring guide that you yourself can connect with and talk to. And so today in this weekly channeling video, we will talk to Louise Hay and I'm going to ask her for some really important advice about how we manage the energy of our attitude and our mood. Good question, huh? Let's hear from someone who can give us some great advice and I hope insight about this topic. Louise, welcome. It's always lovely to connect with you. It's so easy to channel you and to have contact and communication with you. Conversations. She really feels like a mentor to me now. This has kind of evolved over the past month and a half or so. And so I do appreciate that. In your human life when you were a person, Louise, I didn't really follow a lot of your personal healing work, your self-healing, self-love work. But I know that your body of work is something that's a legacy that others who are really struggling with things like self-doubt and self-worth and anyone, anyone who has a desire to learn more about themselves and to really focus on a healing as a way of loving yourself and then ability to love others, I think your body of work would be helpful to many. So can you speak to the subject of how we really need some advice here, some insight? How as people we get so affected by stress. We have stress. We have a daily grind. We have expectations of family, relationships, work, society. We have our own expectations, our own high standards, our own, there's so much that we're moving in and around and that's part of our human experience that energetically it gets heavy. And not just heavy, but it just, it feels a little like mucky, like sticky and it doesn't, sometimes we can't flow freely. We can't feel inspired or we can't feel creative because we feel so much of this energy that I would just describe as stress because I think the viewers would understand it as stress. But it's, and sometimes more than other times it affects us more and so I'm wondering how in your wise advice, how can we keep positive? How can we keep our energy uplifted and feel inspired? How best can we do that? She says, well, first of all, to acknowledge the fact that you are not alone is an important part of this puzzle, a very important part. You see so often when you begin to feel low or you have moments where your energy does not suit you and what you are normally used to producing, connecting, or engaging with, you can afford yourself this acknowledgement and that is you are not alone. And I'm speaking of the many spiritual helpers, the healing guides who are ready to assist you at any time and at any point in your human life experience. They are always present to serve your spirit. And as well, you know, in the human existence that you have, you have come for connection for the detailed human relationships that you have that sometimes do cause you pain. They cause you to pain, to feel pain, but they also provide you with the opportunity to stretch yourself, to grow beyond limitations or perceived notions of limiting beliefs and give you the opportunity to fully experience this life that you have been gifted. It has been given to you by your request and so it is for you to be here now and to participate in the experiences that come to you. Can you give us some real tangible advice about, so how do we, I'm trying to, I'm really struggling with trying to apply, like give us some concepts, some examples or tools that we can apply in our human life to keep ourselves while we're going through all these human experiences, while we are having pain or struggles or people might be watching that are going through divorce or have been just diagnosed with a major illness or any number of things. Someone might be getting married and all of these things create the energy that ultimately leads almost to the questioning of are am I enough? Am I enough to manage this, to handle this? Do I deserve the energy of this or did I create this? If it's something bad or if it's something good, there's all these questions that we ask. We question our worthiness and our value. Can you speak on that and can you give us some tangible tools to help with this energy so that we know who we are, we know who God created us to be, we know that we're part of the universe and that is vast and limitless. And when I say that, I know it, I know it, but the upper part of my energy spheres, my mind cannot accept that in all cases. And in most cases, it challenges me as well as I'm sure many of you on these concepts. Can you please give us some guidance? She says, oh, I would be happy to begin with the promise that life is worth it is perhaps the best place to begin. It is indeed worth it to have the depth of experience that you have. You must have some effort, some what you would say in your mind is risk. We in the spiritual context would prefer not to use that term. However, the costs do not come close to exceeding the benefits. The benefits are far, far greater to you and to those you touch in your lifetime. And you cannot know this until after, until upon the moment of life review, whether it occurs while you are still in your body, but not in consciousness, or whether it occurs upon the transitioning process for you. And you know that end of life is not the only place that you can gain this perspective. It is for you here in moments like this and opportunities such as these to recognize what is being laid out before you. Recognition. In your mind's eyes, it would be awareness. You ask for a tool, a simple tool is awareness. Be aware. In order to be aware, you must be awake. To be awake for your life might sound kind of silly, but if you express, if you can consider for a moment that this is the morning of your life and not the evening of it, regardless of your age, regardless of your circumstance, or where you feel you are limited or lacking, there is not a deficit in the morning. Everything is fresh. It is brand new. And it is in these images that I gift you as our tools. As your simple reminders, you see, God that created the universe, the cosmos, you and indeed your earth has provided you with all of these signs and symbols, whether it be a bird flying across the sky at the moment that you are experiencing the need and the desire for freedom, the acknowledgement that you truly are free, or whether it be the images that you may see of weeds growing in the grass, that flower and become what some would consider the dandelion weed and what others might consider a beautiful flower. The perspective that you have has been granted to you, for it is a choice. You have choice constantly and consistently you have choice. And in these symbols and these signs that were created for you to support your journey here in your lifetime that you have chosen, the simplest thing to do is to be in awareness, to be awake for the life that you are participating in, that you have requested to be part of, and to consider it all the morning and utilize this metaphor and this imagery. Oh, sure, I could suggest to you to meditate, but would you actually do it? Perhaps for a while and then you might change your habits and changing habits is okay and it is necessary to do to give you flavor, variety. But there are other things such as EFT, the emotional freedom technique referred to as well as tapping. There are so many holistic healing modalities that you can explore and techniques you can use for yourself. You can find all of these resources free, many are free on the web. You can also find them, of course, as you found this video and to look that up and search for different things based upon what it is you feel you need, whether it is abundance or whether it is self-worth or value or simple encouragement, motivation. There are certainly many, many forms of these things, but it is for you to look them up, to discover, to care enough about the way that you feel. You say you want to be inspired, you say you want to feel good, but in order to do that, you must care enough about yourself and the way you feel to change it. And that occurs over time with multiple tools, resources and with simple action, sometimes as simple as being awake and to recognize when those tools are right in front of you. And all it takes is for you to use your finger and do a search and everything could change for the positive for you. You could get that inspiration that you are seeking by doing that. And if you choose to not do that, that is indeed a choice. Then you are choosing to stay in an energy that is lower than what you desire, that is lower than what you need to be productive and to feel creative. So you see, it's all about your choice, the choices that you make. And then she says, she gives me the energy of there's freedom in the choosing of things. There's a tremendous amount of freedom in the choosing of things. And I get the sense from her that sometimes the lull is needed in the energy, the dip in our energy is needed. And I know this for myself from practice and experience and doing psychic work with people and doing coaching work as well. We do need a time to rest, even if it's not convenient. It doesn't work into our busy schedules and all the deadlines that we might have or the needs or our family or children. Our work has of us. And it doesn't seem convenient. We still need this time. We need downtime, rest time. And if we can lean into that and allow for that to be the case when it's showing up if the lull is not to just push through, push through, try to get better, try to get better, try to feel better, maybe the lull is serving a purpose to rest. For some quiet, we can reboot and revamp some of our energy systems, our grids, our matrix, the energy that flows through us and around us and all of the fibers of our being and all of the layers of the multiple lifetimes and experiences that we have had that impact us. Thank you very much, Louise. Always insightful, always wonderful to speak with you and to connect with you. And I thank you. I thank you so much for being here. And I hope for all of you that you've been able to feel the energy of Louise Hay as she has been speaking to us and through the Above Life channel, which I'm always so appreciative for you to be here and to watch and experience the energy of these channeled messages. And they're so insightful. So you've been watching an afterlife conversation with Louise Hay. I hope you've enjoyed it. Go ahead and give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed this conversation with Louise Hay and leave some comments below if you have ideas for future questions or things you'd like to know more from Louise or from other wonderful teachers in the afterlife, other wonderful trailblazers and insightful, empowered energy spirits that we could connect with. That will be great to know. Remember the purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope so that you will live your life because this, this is your life. This is the gift of your life. So live it. Just live it. Live it. Thanks for watching.


Hey guys, it's Monica. I am gonna share with you a Jewelry haul, a jewelry haul, jewelry haul, if you're interested to see what I got from my life, Wendy, who is a jewelry designer as well as a YouTuber. Stay tuned. Oh my gosh guys, so a while back I saw on Clara's channel. I'm gonna link her channel below where she got a sort of a surprise, sort of like a not a subscription box, but a surprise jewelry box. And when I say surprise, I mean she knew it was coming. She bought it, but she didn't know it was inside. So I thought wow, you know, this is like super cool. And I watched her do her unboxing and show all her jewelry and I kept thinking, oh my gosh, what a cute, cute idea. And she got some really pretty, pretty pieces. So I reached out to Wendy from my life, Wendy, right here on YouTube, and I also know her on Facebook and I know her on Instagram. And I said, you know, I've been looking at your jewelry selections and I really liked what you put together for Clara. Can you explain the process? And she said that you can pretty well purchase whatever size you wanted and she would, you could select pieces obviously, but the surprise was that she would create and put together the pieces for you. So and look at this beautiful card. So it came in the mail today and I had to just come right back on here and share it with you. I'm going to put the picture in here so you can see it is wrapped in a scarf and I have not opened it yet. I'm going to open it up here, but I love the card, the purple card and all of that. And she's got wisdom. Oh my gosh. I'm not going to read the whole thing, but she basically says that she hopes that I love these pieces as much as she has loved and enjoyed making them for me. Each piece is made with love and infused with positive energy. So the only thing that I told her ahead of time was that I did like larger pieces, but I didn't like super big pieces and I think I'm going to use Marlene Fab and Glam. I said I love Marlene Fab and Glam big, big earrings, but they probably wouldn't look good on me. So and I also wanted silver. So this, I'm going to open it up right now. I'm going to untie it. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. When I untied it, I'm going to include the picture here so that you can see what a gorgeous, gorgeous presentation. Oh gosh. Oh my gosh. They're all in these beautiful little little bags. Wendy, I can't believe you put so many pieces in here. I must have. I haven't even opened them up. Oh my gosh. And even a ring. Holy mackerel. Two rings. Three. There's probably more, but I'm going to go ahead and open these up because I have not opened any up. I mean, she made these guys. Oh, wow. Put this on. Oh, Wendy. I think I just might have to get, well, Jay's golfing today and he's, he left really super, super early to play in a golf tournament, but I just might have to leave these on. Look at all these. So pretty. Oh my gosh. Look how pretty those are. Oh, wow. You know, I was feeling guilty for spending the money. Not that it was a lot of money at all. I think my package was $75. Well, well worth it, the amount of earrings, but I was kind of feeling guilty that I was buying stuff for me. I bought myself a present. Oh, I love these. These are amazing. You guys are going to see me in all different earrings in my videos.  Oh my gosh. Look at these. Now, I understand why Clara was so excited when she opened them up because you know what, in real life, they are so, I'm sure, much prettier than the camera is going to bring them, make them. Unbelievable. I've got one pair on. I have three pairs opened.   These are amazing. Oh my gosh, Wendy. Thank you so much. I am beyond thrilled. These have two pairs in them. I am beyond thrilled with these. Oh my lord. Look at these. And it goes on.  Unbelievable. These dainty hoops. I mean, I don't know how dainty they are, but they're very lightweight. They're not like going to be something that, when I say dainty, like there are some hoops earrings that when you put them on, if you notice, like sometimes your ears will just drag down and drag down. And I mean, jewelry is heavy. You know, some heavy pieces will do that no matter what, but even these, I am going to be wearing Wendy's creations for a while in my ears. Oh my gosh, do I love them? I kind of feel guilty that I'm going, oh, in and out, in and out. And you guys can't see. Can you see that like a little pink?   I'm going to have to take really good photos. And she's got a couple of rings in here. They're adjustable so you can make them bigger if you want. So you know what? I probably, you know, I probably will be able to coordinate some of these rings with some of the outfits that I have on their flowers. Look at that. Oh my gosh. I don't even know what to say. Holy mackerel. Look at that. Wendy, Wendy, Wendy. Oh, and I have to open these. These are like a little, like a little knot. Like, look at that. All I can say is Wendy, you have totally, these are a little bit bigger. I love them. Wendy, you have totally, totally exceeded my expectations. I am like, look at how cute, look how stinking cute those earrings are. Are they not stinking cute? You've totally exceeded my expectations on these earrings. I cannot believe it. I'm going to link all of Wendy's information below. But you know what? When you can support a woman-owned company, especially a small company that creates, I probably would have went in the store and I probably would have paid for a set of earrings like this easily, maybe 20 bucks, 25 depending on, you know, who the creator is and all that. I've gone into gift shops and I bought like $15 one time and I bought just a plain, you know, sort of silver hoops that were, you could tell they were melded together, you know, that they were created and they were mucked down from $30 semi-dollars and I paid $15. So I paid $75 for this entire kit and caboodle and I had no idea what she was going to put in there. And it's like the most amazing surprise. I absolutely love, love, love it. Thank you so much, Wendy. I'm going to link her information below. If you, if you like unique jewelry, yeah, you can go into Macy's, you can go into Teach a Max, you can go anywhere and buy jewelry. But if you like something a little unique and maybe something that like, as she said, that was crafted with you in mind and infused with positive energy and good vibes, I don't see how you can go wrong. The presentation alone with all of these amazingly pretty little bags, which I'm going to use to store these in, but unreal. I'm going to close the picture here so you can see exactly how many pieces I got and how beautiful they all are. So thank you so much, Wendy. I totally, totally am in love with my jewelry. Thank you. I had to pop back in and share with you that the beautiful scarf the jewelry was wrapped in is also a beautiful face mask. I could not believe it. I love them.


I am in deep trouble because now I want to take every acting class ever. I just signed up for a class. I'm not going to lie, I just signed up for a class. I just did a bunch of research on different acting techniques because I wanted to learn more about different acting techniques and just remember the ones that I got exposed to in college. So today I'm going to tell you about five different acting techniques that I have been in a deep dive in. And you will see something very similar about all of these techniques, which is do it as realistically as possible, find how you can portray it naturally and almost without thinking. And that of course comes with time. And I love different pieces of each of these techniques. So I'm going to touch on a little bit about each one. And this is only a little section. By no means is what I'm saying just a recap of what they teach. No, I'm just giving you a little piece of what I have learned and what I have experienced. I'm not an acting coach. I'm not an acting expert, but I today realize I absolutely love acting exercises and I'm going to just tell you about some of them, some of the ones I was exposed to in college. So it all started with Stanislavski acting in the US like modern times and most of the world I feel like nowadays is very realistic and that's pretty new. So Constantine Stanislavski, you maybe have heard of him if you've heard of acting techniques in general. He was born in 1863. So a long time ago. He's the person that was like, hmm, maybe we should do acting a little bit more realistic.  So Stanislavski is credited to do that to the acting world to be like, let's make it more realistic. So it was because of him that a bunch of other people got inspired to make acting exercises and techniques that would allow us to be able to better portray these characters more realistically. So he inspired everybody else that I'm going to talk about today. So Constantine Stanislavski and then Uda Hagan, love Uda Hagan, Stella Adler. I mean, all of these people are really good. The only one I don't know that much about Lee Strasberg, but I know a little bit about him. And then Sanford Meisner, which is one that I've always gravitated to a lot, especially because I took a fundamentals of Meisner with the Sanford Meisner Center in Burbank. So Stanislavski was more of like the art of experiencing an emotional connection to what you're saying and all of that.  So the way that everybody got exposed to him was through a theater that he created, the Moscow Art Theater, and that theater toured in Europe and in the US in 1920s. In the US, it was 1923 and 24.  Like I said, I'm no expert. I just wanted to share you a little bit about each thing. So Lee Strasberg, he was Polish-American.  But I will memorize it before I see you, Ranjeev. The ability to live truthfully under the given imaginary circumstances is what Meisner always said. So it's really, really similar, again, because Sonyslawski was like acting should be as realistic as possible. So that's why they sound really, really similar. With Lee Strasberg, as far as I've been able to gather, because I've never taken a course about Lee Strasberg, and I just read a bunch on their different websites for Lee Strasberg Studios and things like that. In that technique, it's very much about exploring your physicality, exploring yourself in that character, and adding a bunch of little things over time in order to create that character, playing games in order to see what you naturally do. So Meisner, like I was saying, the quotes are really similar. What I've been able to experience through Meisner is really getting out of your head.   And then now for Stella Adler, her father was an actor and she is Jewish American and her father was known for the Yiddish theater. And he, I mean, he was super influential in the US as far as like theater and really just the Jewish culture in New York. Again, a really cool documentary. I'm going to link all the information I found in the description so you guys can continue learning more about this. And the history of it is really interesting, but there's a bunch of really cool things. I loved each documentary. So I think most of the documentaries I saw were made in the 80s. Stella Adler grew up acting when she found out about the Moscow Art Theater, Stanislavskiy's theater. She was like, whoa, this is, you know, this is different, like truthfully expressing yourself rather than imitating one of the key things that I really like about Stella Adler is that she got away from the thought of remembering events that happened to you and bringing that into your character, into who you are trying to portray. And that's one of the things that Stanislavskiy first started with of, you know, bringing your own emotions into your character. But then later he was like, you know what? No, it's more about using your imagination to bring those emotions rather than like, you know, remembering the time like your first dog died or something like that. Because it's really painful and sometimes you get out of control. Like for me, my first acting class in high school, they were teaching us how to cry on command and they had us think about really sad things. And I started bawling. I had to excuse myself from the class. I didn't even excuse myself. I just ran out of the class and I went into the bathroom. I was crying. People were asking me, are you okay? And I was like, yes, I'm just in an acting class. And it was a hot mess. I much rather take on that character, this, this person's problems that I'm supposed to be representing than my own. Because if I think of theirs, and I'm only going to be upset for a couple hours, if I think of mine, if I bring trauma, I can make myself cry really easy. If I think about certain things that have happened in my life, I would continue to think about that for the rest of the week. So I, yes, yes. And then last, Uda Hagan, Uda Hagan, I love some of her exercises. Professor Mark Jacobs at Cal State East Bay, he had us do some of her exercises.  And then releasing what were you doing? What were you looking at? What were you thinking, feeling? What are you going to do after? What were you doing before?  And then you get to see what other people do in real life. When nobody's watching, you get to examine yourself and see everything you're doing. I love that exercise. But that really shows you what you would do naturally. And you're able to bring that into your performances.  I love people watching. So this is basically people watching yourself. So much fun. If you know any more information about any of these, please leave your sources in the comments. I want to go learn more. I want to go read book recommendations, film recommendations, documentaries, anything about these techniques or other ones, please let me know. I want to keep doing research. Anyway, those are the five acting techniques that I am currently obsessed with. I've watched endless hours of YouTube in the last couple of days, just learning more and more about that. I definitely did order a few books from Amazon. I will link the books and everything that I watched on YouTube if you guys want to learn more. But I am in deep trouble because now I want to take every acting class ever. I just signed up for a class. I'm not going to lie, I just signed up for a class. Thank you so much for watching. And at the end of every video, I feature another channel. And today it's going to be my friend Rosie, Rosie Hernandez. And she does a lot of family vlogs and teen tips, things like that. So go check her out. And if you would like to be featured on my next video, make sure you're subscribed, like this video and leave me a comment.

I don't understand the concept. Usi. Okay, kuna sheng zini na mi na joa, kuna mataji tungi apa. Okay. Let me begin at the end of the topic. So, tunainda ji?

Recently I had several of you ask Melissa how in the world do I pick out the right foundation for me? And it is really hard to do when it's online, right? Well, we're gonna get into showing you the difference between neutral, warm, and cool. We're gonna go ahead and we're gonna swatch a bunch of foundations, a few eyeshadows, so that hopefully you will be able to understand what the difference is and what might be the best for your skin. Let's get into that video right now. Bear with me friends. This is a topic that can get very confusing, but I'm gonna try and make it as easy as possible and try to lay this bag of snakes out straight. We're gonna start with what is warm. A warm is a very orange undertone, a very yellow undertone. So we have the color wheel that we look at and we have these opposite colors, you know, our primary colors are yellow, red, and blue. Blue is your cool tone. Yellow is your warm tone. Red can be both because it can have a little bit of yellow or a little bit of blue in it. Like I said, blue is cool. Yellow is definitely warm. I'm gonna show you the two warmest foundations I have in my makeup. This one is from LA Colors and this, I'm sorry, this is from LA Girl. And this one you can see right off the bat, hopefully you're gonna be able to see that that is very orange on my skin or very yellow on my skin. And then also this one, this L'Oreal infallible, this one is the same thing. One looks a little bit darker, but still I would have to color-correct that one in order to be able to wear it because myself, I am very cool toned. Now, you might be asking, why aren't you starting out there? I'm going to leave below a video on how you know whether or not you are cool toned, neutral, or warm. And it's a pretty easy video where you just walk through a few things, but I will make sure that that is linked below for all of you so that you can see that. Now I'm going to show you the exact opposite, which is cool. These two are my most cool foundations. They're also very light compared to these other two, but I think you're gonna get the idea of what they are. Now this one right here, you can see that it's light, but it really kind of blends in with my skin well. That one is the best skin ever from Sephora. I'll have all these colors down below of what I'm doing. And then this one is the Lift and Luminate from number seven, and you're gonna see that that is even more so cool toned. So you're having really cool tones over here. They are blue-based or they are pink-based. Now that you will see when you're looking up foundations, you will see them say 13N or 13P or 13W. 13W means it's 13 warm. 13P means it's 13 pink or cool or 13N means it's 13 neutral. So you can tell from these two we're talking about warm and we're talking about cool over here. Now I will have to say that the next part was the hardest to find something that is right in between the two that is easy for you to see, because this can be hard to figure out, you know, what is very neutral. But this one is the EXA foundation and I don't have my glasses, so I can't see exactly what that says. I got it off of Sephora. I'm sorry. I got it off of Ulta. And so this one, it's right in between. It has a mix of both. You can see that you can see a little bit of the warmth in there, but you can see a little bit of the cool in there and they balance each other out. So that is probably my perfect neutral color right there. Warm, cool, neutral. I hope that makes sense. You're looking, if you're neutral toned, it meaning if you can lean a little bit cool, but you can lean a little bit warm. Also, you're right in between. You could wear something like that. If you're definitely got a warm undertone, you have olive skin. You have deeper skin that leans more yellow or more orange. You're gonna want to go warm. If you are lighter skin, it usually goes very cool. Although, there are some very dark skinned people that have to have a very cool undertone because their undertone is a little bit ashy. And so I hope that you can see what I'm talking about with that. That one is the basics on how to choose. Now, if you're looking for, you know, light, medium, dark, that's a whole other thing. And I'm the palest of the pale, so I usually go fair light just so you know. In the summertime, I can go up to light, medium, but I don't ever go beyond that because my skin is very, very pale. Now, let me just demonstrate that same thing with some palettes for you. And we're just going to take the basic browns. I'm using the Lust for Dusk Palette and the New Classics from Elf. Just gonna take these, we're gonna go in, we're gonna look for what is a warm, what is a neutral, what is a cool. Now, as I'm looking directly at this, I can tell you right now that this is a warm brown. And it is, it's a pretty brown. I like it, but when I get to wearing it, it looks very orange on my eyes. So I'm gonna swatch that one for you and show you how warm of a brown that is. So very warm toned. Can you see? The undertone of it is orange. It's, you kept going, you would feel like it was getting more and more orange on you. Then I want to go in and find something neutral. I don't feel like this one has it, but I do feel like the Elf one does and that one's right there. And so I feel like that is a very neutral brown. And as I sheer that out a little bit, you're gonna see that, yes, it does have a little bit of the orange underneath it, you can tell. But at the same time, it's really leaning that beautiful cool tone. Now, in back to the Lusford Dust palette, and I'm gonna go into this brown right here, which really has a very gray, taupey undertone to it. And I'm gonna swatch that one for you. Probably gonna have to build that one up quite a bit, so you can see because it's not quite as deep as the other ones. But hopefully you're going to be able to see. This is neutral because it's not very cool, very blue, very gray. It's not warm. It's not orange. It's not got that burnt orange characteristic to it, but it's just right in between. So that is the way you tell cool, neutral, warm. I hope that that makes sense. I hope that that's easy to see. Another great way to see this is in pinks. I'm gonna demonstrate that too, because remember I said red, which is a darkened pink, can be leaning towards warm, the yellow, because I have more yellow in it, or it can be leaning towards blue. It can have more blue into it. I'm gonna take this color right here in the Magic Palette from Juvia's Place. It is a metallic, but I'm gonna put it right down the middle of my hand, because I feel like it is a very neutral pink. It does have, hopefully you're gonna be able to see that. I know it's a reflect. I wish that I could have found one that wasn't, but this was the best one. So that pink has a little bit of orange in it, but it has a little bit of blue in it. And it's the perfect example of not being too much either way. But then I am going to grab my Lilac You a Lot Palette. There's a color right up here in the corner. That's a pink. You can tell that it looks like pink instead of all of the lilac colors. And when I saw this, I'm like, that's not purple, that's pink. Well, it is a blue pink. Hopefully you're gonna be able to see that. It is that really pretty casting towards the blue side of red. And into the Norvina palette right here, this is a very, very warm pink. And although it is pink, it definitely has the undertones of orange in it. We have three different kinds of pink here. We have the pink that has the definite orange. We have the pink that can go either way. It has a little bit of pink in it. It has a little bit of orange in it. And then we have the pink that goes all the way over to the blue. That is a pink, blue color, most definitely. Hopefully between these swatches, the brown swatches, and the foundation, you kind of get a feel for what is neutral, cool, and warm. I hope that that did help you. Please let me know any questions you have in the comment section. If you'd like to kick around anything. The other thing is if you don't know what your skin tone is, please go over and watch that video. It does have you a way for you to test what your skin tone is. I'll make sure that that is linked for you guys. Thank you so much for spending a little bit of your time with me. I hope that you did enjoy it. Please stay happy, stay healthy, and I will catch you all in my next video. Love you, Mitch. Bye-bye, my friends.


So here the ARM TechCon 2016 you had two new CPUs you announced. Yes so we announced a complete IoT technology suite starting those the technology suite where two processors the ARM Cortex M33 and M23 both our processors are bringing to the market ARMS V8M architecture which brings trust zone security capability and security infrastructure to the very kind of compact endpoint market. It's targeted at making IoT much more scalable, more secure, more efficient and very deployable. So this is using the V8M that you announced last year and you're putting all the stuff that you announced about that into this to the CPU. Yes so ARM V8M is an architecture we announced last year obviously we've been working on the processor designs for the last few years and now what this brings to market is the trust zone capability that puts the root of trust into the hardware but along with the Cortex M processors that we announced we also announced a suite of other components so we have the system IP that goes with it. It's not just the processor that has to be secured has the whole system on chip we're adding to it our trust zone crypto cell technology that'll bring in you know secure boot capability better trusted environments around it. We also try to reduce the time to market the risk by putting together a subsystem that not only puts together the processor the interconnect and the secure IP but also our next-generation Bluetooth 5 and ZigBee compatible cordial radio technology and all the key drivers the software to start that subsystem. So it's a really good starting point for IoT endpoints where you can then layer in your special sensors you can layer in your specialized accelerators but really take to market a very secure part a very scalable way. So security is very important is the one of the most important things right now. You're talking about segmenting the secure boot and all that stuff yes that's the way to do right in the future? Absolutely I think what has been very evident is that as we get devices that are closer to us are actually have our health information have our travel information have a lot more personal data security becomes that much more critical. Also now with every device being connected it also becomes a the weakest link breaks the chain. So security becomes critical for our IoT world as has been seen in recent attacks that have been coming from insecure areas. So if we actually look at security it's no longer a nice to have it's becoming a must-have. So Trussone, Armour has been doing Trussone for a long time has it been before in the Cortex-M? No this is the first time we're bringing it to the efficiency of the Cortex-M level but Trussone's been around in the market for the last decade over 12 years. You can see it in a lot of smartphones doing authentication, payment protection and digital content as well. Now these are also systems that have larger operating systems and a lot more software and the idea behind Trussone is to reduce the attack surface and take it to the smallest point. Now in the micro controller world you can't have that much more complex software and the Trussone for Armour V8M for these micro controllers has been designed to be that much smaller and less resource-containing. So Trussone has evolved in the last 10 years. It's been better and better and as it gets smaller and more efficient and but this is the most efficient Trussone ever right? It's got to be real-time or? Yes so I think that's a very good point. Micro controllers and the IoT endpoints are critical in terms of response time. They have to serve as interrupt responses. This variation of Trussone for micro controllers allows the interrupt response times to be maintained. In fact the transition into and out of the secure state takes less than five cycles so the interrupt responsiveness which has been the hallmark of the Cortex-M devices is still maintained. Also that means that you have a lot less software overhead for these secure transactions, less memory required for it which is again a critical element of making it efficient because a lot of these devices not just use very little battery but also may not even have batteries. They could be energy harvesting, maybe ingestible nanobots, they could be disposable bandages that have very thin chip solutions with little to no battery. So there's so many people working in your ecosystem like Arm TechCon is huge, lots of people and all over the world and is it your responsibility at Arm to just take care of security for everybody? Is it what you do here to make it easy? They just don't even even have to think about it maybe? So I think that is a question of how much do you need to know about security? I think everybody has to think about security. We're not trying to take that onus away. What we're trying to do is one educate them about the need for and to make it easy to achieve it. Arm by itself can't do all this. We are designing infrastructure and the capabilities to do that but Arm's ecosystem is the one that actually delivers it including the silicon vendors that are actually putting all these things together, putting it in chips. The tools vendors that are helping make these things easier, the certification environment and of course the services vendors that build on top of it. Now speaking of that, in IoT as things get more connected, more secure, actually managing the device from the cloud is becoming that much more difficult and this is where we announced our embed cloud offering that can connect provision, update securely of any type of IoT device to any type of cloud. So this is a cloud software service. However it's not all in all. It just provides, just like Arm does, it provides the key capability on which other SaaS services can be based. This morning there was a really cool keynote with a hacker, Chris, he was hacking the Jeep and hacking the Toyota Prius and all kinds of cars and it sounded a little bit from this hacker that it seems a little bit, it seems like a hard thing to do and I'm hoping that you're making sure that the IoT future with trolling chips are going to be secure. That is true. As we said, I think the weakest link of the chain defines the susceptibility of the chain. What we're trying to do is to make it as difficult as possible and cost ineffective as possible to make for hackers to break into devices and even if they break into devices, it should be contained and not spread across. So embed OS is your open source free OS for Cortex-M and for IoT and so you provide this, if people use that, it'll be secure with the embed cloud. So let's be clear about this. So embed OS is a platform on which a lot of the security services are built. So embed OS is not necessarily, if you put embed OS, it works. You have a specific client that you need to activate and use across but it sets the baseline for security to be established in the transport channel, in the authentication of the device and the provisioning of the device. So there's two CPUs we launch here and we look at this graph. For example, we can see there's a lot of stuff around here. So you provide a lot of IP is not just the Cortex-M33. What goes around it? So that's again, a very good question. ARM's focus has been obviously on processors and the key digital system interconnect. So what we provided in this subsystem is a tested and verified subsystem of the ARM Cortex-M33 processor, the AMBA5 capable interconnect, key cross zone protection controllers, the crypto cell capability for authentication. Also the Cordio radio, as we mentioned for the next generation of connectivity, Bluetooth 5, ZigBee thread, and some of the key software drivers that are required for it. The software stacks for the radio, the firmware for power management and security, Mbed OS. So all of this has been tested. Now, we are not the experts on sensors, analog, etc. A lot of our partners are and they also add in more acceleration and other capabilities. So what we end up doing here is providing the base starting platform that can be allowing your design to happen faster with the time to market and much lower risk. So this 2016 is coming out 2017. Right. So all these components are available now. So it's really how quickly do you get those things to market? And how are they going to be positioned in terms of performance and efficiency compared to the previous Cortex-M? That's a good question again. So the Cortex-M33 processor is a bit more performant, but a lot more efficient and security capable than the current generation M3, M4 processors. The M23 is that much more efficient than the M33 and a lot smaller as well. And that compares against the Cortex-M0 plus line that we had before. Now, if you look at TrusZone in the other processors we have today, the smallest processor we have a TrusZone today until today has been the Cortex-A5 and even in 40 nanometer, which is kind of a lagging node, it takes about half a square millimeter of die, which is really, really small, right? But Cortex-M33 is about 80% smaller than that.  And the M23 is about 75% smaller than that. So it's a couple of hundreds of a square millimeter of die in 40 nanometer. And this really changes how you can bring security into the smallest of IoT devices. So you could swallow Cortex-M23 and it wouldn't matter? You wouldn't notice it. Really? Okay, that's great. So looking forward to a smart IoT future and you're going to provide it, you're going to help people make it safe. We hope so and not just smart but secure. Thank you.

All right. Hi, everybody. Thank you for joining Jenkins online meetup. Today's topic is on Google Summer of Code, a guide to better preparations for candidates. So my name is Alyssa Tong. I'm on the, I'm one of the GSOC org admins. On this webinar with me are two other GSOC org admins, Jean-Marc Mason and Chris Stern. And also our mentor is here. One of our mentors is here, Marc Waite. Some housekeeping items before we begin. So this session is being recorded. We will share the link to the recording after today's session. If you have questions, feel free to put them in the Q&A window throughout the session. Our org admins and mentor will respond to them. And then we also have an active GSOC discourse and get our channels for further discussions. So feel free to join the conversations there or post your questions there after this webinar. And lastly, the code of conduct is in full effect here as well as throughout our Jenkins community. What that means it's, it just means be kind to one another. On today's agenda, we will cover why you might want to join GSOC, how GSOC works, some important dates and tips to remember, and then we'll answer any questions at the end. So Jean-Marc. Hello. Good evening. Good afternoon. Good morning, everybody around. Here we have now 15 attendees to there. So very happy to be part of that. I am org admin for Google Summer of Code for Jenkins. And well, one of the questions that the participants have here. So what does it mean to participate to GSOC? What is it? It sounds great. Can you move the slide? Okay. There we are. So starting the adventure of Google Summer of Code is a great decision. Participating and competing to be part of it will help you to enable you to learn a lot. If you make it get some nice pocket money, you will have the chance to make an impact on software that's widely used in the world. You will have many, many users and you will have a prestigious experience that you can add to your resume. So this combines a lot of very powerful, interesting things that you find in open source. And this is really the crystallization of these different aspects. I'd like to go a little bit deeper there because these are very practical parts. I'm going to use another image for that. If you embark to this adventure, this is like mountaineering. We're going to walk together with you and we're going to start an adventure to discover incredible things and help you make things that you wouldn't even believe that you were able to do in the beginning. It's a wonderful adventure, teamwork. You need to work and rely on the others. You will have to learn skills and use them. It is not a holiday. So at certain points you're going to ask yourself, why did I register for that?  For me, this is the best representation of what GSOC is and very important, like for mountaineering. I hope some of you have some experience there. The most interesting thing there is not the summit itself. It's the way to achieve it, to arrive to this summit. It's the preparation. It's the learning of new skills, learning to go beyond what you thought you would do. It's the camaraderie of other people you're going to meet and learn new things. So this is all together. But remember, this is not for the fainted heart. It's an effort. You need to give quite a lot. So this is a front warning I want to give for that. Can you move to the next slide, please? So remember for this adventure is not something where you just go to a counter and said, well, here I want to register for the nice mountain climb going up to Malaya and Mount Everest.  No, you need to remember a few important things before you start this road. There are limited number of GSOC slots available because in order for you to that it's a useful experience for you, but also for the community and a good balance. We need to have good coaching and mentoring capacity, meaning that the slots are finite. We're not going to offer 12 places or 12 tracks and they will all be lousy. We're going to concentrate on what we can do and select in each of these tracks the best candidate, the best proposal. So choosing a candidate is based on the proposal. Our proposal is a general word. We need to assess in a quite short period who you are, what you can do. Do you have the right stuff in order to embark in this adventure without taking the analogy of mountaineering, killing yourself by doing a mistake or bringing the whole the whole crew of people walking with you down and that it turns into a failure. So we're going to look at the proposals. What is your experience in programming contributing to Jenkins project with the various criterias that will be used to judge and will help you to build that and go there. The other warning I want to give there, it's a long and important effort. It's not something where, well, okay, a couple of weekends, there we are excited, want to contribute and so on. Here we're talking about weeks of work to be able to build a proposal, build the experience, work on the project, finalize it. So it's a long effort. So don't start the adventure if you just have, you don't have the right shoes or you don't have the right spirit. You have only time for a day outing. Here you embark for big mountains. I don't want to scare you. I just want to warn you what you will have to do right now or like the mountaineering aspect. And this is what you need to do while we are preparing everything so that Jenkins can be accepted as a mentoring organization for Google is you need to prepare yourself.  That means you get into shape. You start learning, learning the product, how to use it, how to program it, how to improve it, who the people are, how do you interact with people on the other side of the world. Just that is already an incredible experience. But this is what you should start doing now, learning. An important thing there is most of you are quite young and used to school where you're told what to do. You need to do that for next week. You have that assignment and so on. Here we entering in another world. We're entering the world of open source where we want to teach you how it works. Autonomy is very important in order to be successful there. So it's very tempting to sit there and say, well, I want to contribute. I'm excited to participate in this. Where should I start? We don't have the time to explain you time and time where to start. Read the threads, read the various discussions that have already been online. Listen or read what has been done the years before. Do your homework. And once you're stuck or something is confusing but something that shows that you already in the middle of the matter, then ask. Don't forget that mentors have a job beside that sometimes very, very demanding. And so we need to focus on the help that we're able. We need to share it equally and honestly to everyone. This is what I wanted to share. I'm just going to conclude before giving the word to the other. It's an incredible adventure. You're going to learn the most and everybody is going to learn the most by the way by preparing some their way will stop earlier. Some will go up to the summit. But participating and playing the rules and learning. Everybody is going to to get rewarded for that. Thank you. Thank you. We're all good. Thank you. So what is GSOC and how does it work. So this year is going to be Google's 20th year in this program. It will be Jenkins eighth years. So participating. The project successfully has completed 35 completed 35 project ideas. What that means 35 Google summer of code candidates were mentored or participate in the program with Jenkins. And let me show you for the project ideas for this year. See if I can get out of here. Yeah. This the everything is on Jenkins.io. By the way, there's a lot of really great information on here. So I suggest that for those that's really serious and participating or wanted to get into this program read up. There's a lot of reading involved. Okay. So GSOC 2024 project ideas are here. We are still finalizing the project in the next week or so. We should have it more finalized in a better state. So check back here often. You will see things move from draft to accepted ideas. And if you're interested to find out what happened in the previous year. There's also project ideas that were in 2023. Okay. And then a good a really good place to learn what happened in those projects and with those GSOC contributors. There are final project reportings that it's done and it this is all on end of the blog section of Jenkins.io. Okay, so we've got one project idea that was completed here. And then there's the Docker base Jenkins quick start. Very detailed. And this is what you will be doing as well. Okay, so there's a fundamental build detection probe. And then building Jenkins.io with alternative tools. So there's a lot of good information on here. So I suggest for those interested to read up and learn. All right, so let me go back to slide share. Okay, so there's three important prongs to this program. It involves GSOC contributor. It involves mentors and it involves project ideas. Now, all three needs to happen and have to be in place. It cannot function one without the other. What we're focusing on here is for GSOC contributors. And then for the part of the GSOC contributor, just, you know, I just want to reiterate what Jean-Marc has mentioned earlier. What this really requires from the contributor is commitment, self-discipline, self-direct, and a lot of due diligence. So if you have that in place for yourself, we'll need that, okay, for this program to be successful. So I will let Chris take it from here with some more tips and important dates. So hi everyone. First of all, I'm going to talk a bit about a timeline for 2024. And so the first time we see on the slides from December to January, which is the period preceding this time. That's when you were supposed to build your Jenkins muscles to understand the Jenkins product, technical and ecosystem without the community. From January to February is the time to study and choose the project idea or ideas. First, we need to understand and explore it, which means to, to comprehend what a project requires, such as a tech stack, which I'll get to in a bit. And also includes journey online meetup like this one. And between February and March, you're supposed to actually build your project proposals, which would be submitted to Google for your application. And remember, open source software development relies on communication and working openly with the community. And we encourage open discussions. So we don't, we won't like any private direct messaging. And we encourage you to publish your draft, the Google doc and discuss with us or anyone within the community for review, comments, suggestions and feedback. We're also encourage you to attend regularly GSOC office hours, which is to be scheduled at around this time I think the day to the day of week to be to be determined. And on April 2, which will be the application deadline for or GSOC potential candidates. So next, tech stack. So most of the projects are in Java, some in Kotlin, some in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Golang, even bash, or even Docker, depending on the project requirements. And for web development. I mean, I'm saying we use ASCII dog and gas beta JS, which means that for one of our projects this year, I think it's for the stat statistics. Website we've, we will use also gas beta JS, which because like our team is our infotainment familiar with the tool. And this year, many project ideas involve proof of concept work, software development and CI CD. So many of the projects involve tooling observability. Next slide. How to prepare. So number one, do do diligence, which means doing research on a project idea you're interested in. So this normally takes quite a bit of time to, to get a basic idea it takes at least one week we expect. And after you have a general idea of what the project entails, you should ask some thoughtful questions in together channels. We expect you to interact with the community. They are asking questions, answering questions, maybe, and even like providing feedback tells you those proposals. We want you to develop your proposal with the community. So we always like watching our channels. So if you have any like questions about your proposals, you want to discuss, please do it openly on the channels. We also expect you to make impactful contributions. They put requests, flexes, suggestions. Next slide, please. So the important dates for 2004 are March 18th. GSR Contributed Application Period begins every second. GSR Contributed Application deadline. And finally, May 1st, except the GSR Contributed Projects are announced. We are genuinely here to Google it from timeline, which can be found in the link referenced. Next slide, please. So reasons a good candidate may not get accepted. So in that case, in event your proposal is not getting selected, it's because of the following reasons. We cannot accept all candidates that apply. Due to limited resources with a number, limited number of mentors available to mentor projects. So it depends on whether that's a good match for you. Good is sometimes not enough, as some proposals may be bad and good. So those who are outstanding would definitely be chosen. We can submit a finite number of projects to GSR. Your proposal will be excellent, not the highest priority for a Jenkins project. But a good thing is we can always try again next year. So next, I'll hand it back to Elisa to finish the talk. So as I mentioned, this session is being recorded. I'll share the link to the recording later on. But we also have other recordings that you can find on the Jenkins YouTube channel. GSoc website, John Jenkins.io, there's a wealth of information there. Go to the blog sections. And then, as mentioned earlier, there's Gitter and discourse channels, as well as office hours recordings that we've had from previous years. So all that is available online. So right now we will take questions. If you have questions, you will have to type them in the Q&A. Yeah. So we have a question here from you who is asking, can graduated one participated participate in GSoc 2024. So what are the conditions to participate to GSoc? Pick up this question. I think that question. So Chris, you want to answer it? Do you want John Mark to answer it? Me? I can answer it because I did check. I think the eligibility criteria, one of them is like you have to be new to open source, but you don't have to be a student. Young professional is okay. Yep. The answer is yes, you can participate. We have another question here from Runak. Reading it, do we have specific communication channels for different channels? Can we start contributing now? Who is going to answer that one? I can. Do you want me to answer that? Go for John Mark. Okay. So, Runak, there are two phases that you need to be aware of. The first phase is getting acquainted to the project that you're investing your time in. There you are competing with all other possible candidates. And we want to answer these questions only once. And they're as in open source, everything is done in the open. And Chris insisted on that is we avoid as much as possible one-to-one communication channels or communication, because only one person is going to benefit in it, which is a waste of time and is not good for the other participants because they will feel cheated. When the topic gets very technical, project mentors or the lead mentor very often has a dedicated channel. Most of the time, these channel or majority, it is a dedicated gitter or element. It's a gitter or what's the other name of the protocol matrix. A channel where specific questions are answered. So at this stage, you're still on the competition contributing. Be careful there because if you start contributing on the proposed solution, that means that you're starting before it even the first race didn't start yet. So, think well where you're contributing, so don't contribute the full solution with it. But what is important is that you can and should work on fixing problems that are in the periphery of it that you learn and show that you start to master the complete environment where the particular element is. So if it's around a particular plugin starting to fix issues that are not directly in the scope of the project that you're proposing and a way to implement it, but a lot of other problems and a lot lying around. You start learning how the code works. You start learning how to use the environment you start to learn how to interact with the maintainers, which are also an important stakeholder in it. So can we start contributing? This is a good idea. Just be careful not to code the complete answer or what you think is the complete answer of GSOC before it has even started. I hope that that answer was complete but still intelligible for you. I lost track, so I see, I use things. Thank you. Alissa, go ahead. I think there's the next question is what are the chances of someone's projects idea get selected for different projects. Can I answer to that one? If somebody else wants to. The chances are high. There are between zero and infinite. So that means nobody knows. I should have prepared that but to give you an idea, normally the these information are still available in the 2023 documentation. So we had several proposals, so we had around 60 proposals that went down to four or five of projects, and we had about 10, a 10 person competing average on project. Remember, we choose the one that in our opinion has the best chance has the best proposal and a most efficient way of solving it and contributing to the open source project. Mark, do you have something you want to add there or have I been too kind in giving too many. I think I think the crucial thing for me will your project idea be accepted. One crucial piece is, is there a lead mentor who will take the who will lead the mentoring for that project. Right, because without a lead mentor, we're not going to, we're not going to run that project so part of the persuasion process and the project proposal is persuading the lead mentors like me that that idea is a good idea and it's it's good enough to clarify. So, so the competition is part of it is persuading lead mentors. Ah, I want to be involved in this or that right there. One of the finite challenges is the number of lead mentors that are available. Yeah, I forgot that nuance. Chris, do you want to add something. I really want to like raise the, but to bring up that like, like what the, what the candidates do can impact the project so it's like if you can have like, if show you have the buddies to do a good proposal if you can like suggest ideas to help bring a project to life. It may improve your chances to. Now, Shridhar has asked a question that I think may hint is a good question for others to understand the answer because it implies, I think it hints at a misunderstanding of how the project how Google summer of code works. So Shridhar's question is there around 14 projects listed in the draft ideas. When will the projects filtered after selection by Google is disclosed. The misperception there is that Google somehow chooses project ideas they do not. What what the process is, is the Jenkins project goes to Google and proposes to Google. We propose to be an organization under the Google summer of code project. Google may say yes, but then then if I recall correctly, we submit a set of project ideas that we're that we're proposing to them and they will look at and this is based on if I remember right it's based on contributor proposals that we submit right and Google then says we'll fund this many where many maybe one to zero one two three or four so our organization proposal if we're accepted as an organization that does not narrow the field of project ideas. So the project ideas is very open and the Jenkins project will select which projects ideas it finally submits and then Google says how many of them will they fund. Did I get that correct John Mark in terms of the sequence. Yeah. Yes, you're very true and somehow I misled and did not answer to do the, to the correct question so you exactly said, so there are two parameters there. We, we, we offer a lot of projects ideas and say what this could be something this could be something that can be done. Several mentors volunteered to a couple of them. It will not be the case that mentors will spread themselves in on various projects. Generally this this works out very badly, unless there is a strong mentoring team that means that on the, let's say 13 project ideas that are on the table. We're going to look, do we have a balance between strong proposals on that and mentoring team. So we will shake and come up with our shortlist and say Google. This is what we will be able to do this year. We have enough mentors, and we have a good candidate per project. This is what we propose. Are you funding that. This is the way it works. Chris, do you want to add something or mark. The crucial thing there is, and I think that ties also to Akasha's question about, hey, for plugin installation manager tool. How do we choose which, which are the right features and which aren't which aren't and the answer is we discuss back and forth in a project idea proposal in a, the potential contributor says, I think we should do this this and this. The potential mentors say no, I think the priority should be that that and that, and that bouncing back and forth between contributor potential contributor and potential mentor is how we arrive at a better plan. And we all come to a better idea of which things are most interesting and which are not. Just to jump on what Mark said this process of thinking of coming with ideas discussing together is precisely the thing that we want to teach you that you learn. And this is not something that you learn at school. This is not something that you asked to do in a professional environment. They're generally you obey orders and do yes sir your right sir and I'll call that that way. It's not the case here. We're all equal with different experiences. And we work together and think together and nobody has the definitive answer. We think together and this requires also from the candidates to step forward and show that you're you master this. This step which is very difficult and we will help you for that but it's come forward with ideas participate in it in the conversation. Prepare arguments. I think this feature is a good idea for that and that reason. And this is a weak point of that. What do you think exactly this process is key word Jesus and open source. Sorry, I went overboard again. Sorry. Great. So, so another question from Kari Noida. What are some of the hallmarks of successful proposals does the background of the contributor matter and the background absolutely matters, especially in terms of our observation of their involvement in the Jenkins project. We one of the things we're doing when we accept a Google Summer of Code project proposal is we are accepting the risk that we're going to give our time as mentors to someone who is going to be doing software creation coding.  And if we haven't seen evidence of your coding skills through pull requests through submissions through other other examples, we're going to be very skeptical of coding skills. Right. We we it is an unfair thing for us to say, oh, we accept your project without having first seen that you have enough coding skills to actually do the job. And the way you show that is by submitting pull requests to show evidence that, hey, look, here's how I wrote this. Here's how I did that. So your involvement in the Jenkins project is crucial to your potential being to be accepted as a contributor to Google Summer of Code. John Mark or Alyssa. I'm good. I think we need to move forward on the question and somewhere I lost a little bit. There's a question about the cloud events plugin. I have doubt from this project draft of cloud events plugin development. Will this project be rebuilt, or we have to make it from scratch. And the answer there is, we don't know. And the reason we don't know is because we haven't done the design work to decide and that's what we're looking to a contributor to make that decision. Understand the cloud events API decide if the existing CD events plug in is a good thing to transform to use the cloud events API. And the challenge there is that's of interest to potential to potential organizations like Fidelity Investments or US Bank or other financial institutions who want to do integration between systems. Cloud events is a CDF project to do that. Right now I think the crucial gap there is I think we're looking for a lead mentor as well. Yeah. Okay, we have another question here. Is it okay to start building a proposal now? Or should we wait for the finalized project list? The answer is yes to both. Oh, there's a quick one. No. What do you mean with building a proposal? If building a proposal is describing it. If building into details of functionality, the pros and cons, eventually build a prototype or a mock of the solution. Yes, you can start for it. You should publish it and make it so ask for review and so because you might attract mentors. The condition for it to be in the finalized project list is that you have a strong worked out solution. So complete. Not coded with code. So here it compiles. That's not what we're asking. We want to see the whole processing and there is a complete process to define what needs it. But it's only later that we will see is your proposal strong enough and do we have the mentors for that and then it'll make it. There is a likelihood and happened last year and I had to disappoint some people and say why here we have a lot of people that are working on these proposals but because one of the mentors had to withdraw. We already know that this project is not going to make it in the final list and we advise you to start investigating another project. You can start working on a proposal. And it is also wise to wait and observe how the things go is a mentoring power behind your project and this you can see are people reacting to the proposal, your draft proposal that you made public and other competitors. I'm going to say a little word if Alyssa you checking the time right. Yes, I am there. There is the topic probably there will be other discussions about that. Cheating one of the primary values of open source is that everything that you do is done in the open. As soon as you start trying working bilaterally or keep things for you and hide it, you build suspicion. And you start making mistakes because you're designing your own solution, which is not what the community as a whole wants. So sharing working openly is part of the system. Taking other people's idea and work on them is also okay, but there are limits to that and you need to demonstrate. It's like in scientific research. You can use and you should use other people's work. Quote it, mention it, but attribution to other people's idea is critical. And keep that in mind. So being open, sharing, teaching and learning together as a primary value of open source. But as every good idea, it can very easily be perverted. And it's a very uncomfortable situation afterwards. When we see and hear well pieces of my proposal have been copied by this or I suspect that one or and we see this kind of cripple. If this is an English word. You know what kids do when they fight over. This is a very bad sign and something will be very disappointed off. It's not easy to find a balance and I'm ready to discuss in other forms about that, but this is learning how open source works. It has nothing to do with the competition that you have at school where it's copying on your neighbor or it's school is a complete other sets of rules. And here you entering the real world of creativity. So I move to the next question. So we have about 15 minutes left. Okay. So the next question. Once Google admins approve Jenkins as a participating organization. Will there be specific number of projects ready assigned if not, do we get a chance to propose a draft I think we already answered that question. Should I contribute. Should I contribute keeping in mind a particular draft project or contributing overall in Jenkins is better. Mark, do you have an idea there it's it's at least at least for me the challenge of trying to focus your work on a specific project idea. It really narrows the field into which you can contribute. We will then not see enough code contributions from you and have a very difficult time assessing. So, if, if you don't contribute more widely than just around your project idea, you risk us not seeing enough contributions to assess whether or not you're able to actually do the project. Yeah, go ahead, Chris. So it was like, I think it's a better approach would be to focus on both like focus on developing your own job project proposals. And also like contributing overall to the Jenkins ecosystem, the PRs. So you can use the PRs in your application. Yeah. And I will add there contributing with codes is not the only thing. You need also to learn what the tool is about how to use the tool, what is continuous integration, what is unit testing, all these things that I hope that are taught in your in your schools and that you know already but these concepts should be mastered before and and because changing a comma in in a comment is a contribution that doesn't show that you know what a Jenkins pipeline is. Hey, so next question can people whose proposals aren't accepted follow along, audit the process of coding of the accepted project. Mark. Sure. Absolutely. And the open source. Right. Well, more importantly, the project, yeah, to John Mark's exact statement, the project work will happen in public. Right. The way that the selected contributor will submit their work is by submitting public poll requests to the destination thing. So last year when Vandit Singh was working on on doing documentation, it was to a publicly visible repository. It was crucial. When we did the pipeline steps doc generator it was to a public repository when we when we did work on the get plug in it was to the public repository so absolutely you can follow along. The mentors are following along. You bet. Okay, next question. Can we work on questions are moving all over the place for me. Can we work on dropped projects. If it if it's worth enough to him to impact users much better. Yes. Yes, absolutely. Open source. Therefore, what that means is contributions are come from all over in many different ways, and you're welcome to contribute. It's a good experience to learn. It's a great way for you to understand better how software development works and how open source software development works. Additional thing I would add to that is, you will not benefit from the structured mentoring organization that's put in place for Google Summer of Code. So, you need to find somebody who on a spare time will help you and so the autonomy for this way of doing needs to be or requires more engagement there, but this is a very positive way to continue learn and a very, very, very good way to prepare for the short selection session. Yep. Thanks, Sean mark. By when should we try to keep draft proposals ready. Yeah, there was a slide on that with the dates with the months so I suggest you go back into that slide and and take a look. Yeah. Hi, Aniket. Now I'm interested in the bear token authentication for get and get get client plugin. And I've also started researching but my question is, should I start building a proposal right away before the final project list display on Jenkins.io. So, that's a that's there's a secret there's not a secret there's a public piece of information that may help you on a cat. I'm I'm mark wait I maintain the Jenkins get plugin and therefore things that are targeting the Jenkins get plugin are interesting to me I'm probably also a lead mentor. So, so starting work on that is a good thing. Now, will you right now I'm a little hesitant on it because I'm not sure that what's been proposed by the user is actually needed. And so part of the research is to understand is what the user is requesting really necessary or is there another way to achieve it. Yes, you could start immediately on that kind of investigation and yes that would be a good thing to include include in a project plan. Even if the project is not selected. If you do it the right way, you will learn a bunch of important things and you will learn the methodology and think and you would be very Right. Satisfied by the adventure and get knowledge is a very useful thing in the world of software development it has get has won the battle for software configuration management and therefore everything you learn about get is helpful. Yeah. Hey, I'm interested in the automatic specification generator for Jenkins rest API because I have seen plugins like Jenkins rest, which provide convenient operation on Jenkins from the Java API. Is this job aimed at making it easier for other developers to use this plugin. Good question and it's not really about a plug in, but it is that Jenkins in general has a rest API. And what it does not and if you look at the rest API from a running Jenkins, go to almost any URL and Jenkins append the letters slash API and you'll see a nice web page that highlights the contents of the API at that point. However, that nice user friendly presentation of the API is not a formal specification of the API. And the idea here for this this project idea is it will help a number of things if we have a formal specification of that API. But that formal specification should be ex derivable from the existing code base because that's how it's done now, right each of those API entry points is implemented in some Java source code. So is it a specific plug in no is the automatic specification generator targeted to make things easier for Jenkins users. Yes. Do you want to add something. No, I'm, I think the answer was complete. Okay. I just wanted to jump on Philip glance question very is, is it allowed to stream the work on platforms like Twitch, I would say where your adults you know what you do. Now, jokingly, they have been pair programming very successful experiences working on it. It's useful in certain cases. Now the biggest challenge that you're going to experience there is the time zone difference and generally people by here in this meeting you get it smush on the on the nose with people where it's middle of the night and our people where it's the wee hours of the morning. So, live streaming and things like that. Why not, but it's, it's, there's no thing like you need an authorization and it needs to go through for ministries before it gets the stamp of approval. No, that's not, that's not the case. Yeah. So, Darren Pope and I have done the improve a plugin tutorial on the Jenkins on the Jenkins that is now hosted on the Jenkins developer pages. Improve a plug in was initially a series of live streams that we happened to record it record now we didn't do it on Twitch, but it was a series of live streams that we recorded, and we ultimately decided hey this is useful enough let's put it in the Jenkins documentation. So, yes, is it is it useful and helpful to live stream on a platform. If you find that helpful. Great. Yeah, in my case. I had to do a little more planning and thinking before I was ready to do those improve a plug in tutorials. There was quite a bit of research to understand how to, how to do the steps before we made it look fairly easy in the improve a plugin tutorial. Um, can I add to it. I just want to say, I do remember to get permissions, like, because like you, you need to know like your mentors are comfortable with idea before going ahead with it. Yeah. Always, always look at the others and think how is what I'm going to do perceive so this is there is a human dimension in all this adventure. That's very big. We have five minutes left I have here an interesting question from any kids I'm going to give a shot at. So our big contributions mandatory or small code PR. Okay. Whatever you want or do. Don't forget what we need to see. And sometimes a small PR may require hours and hours or sweat. So I remember discussion in a previous life in measuring developers performance by single line of codes. No, it's not the size of the PR. It's what we need to see is how do you master or how much knowledge do we have of the functional environment you're working in. Do you master the development language you must testing to master the basic concepts of the language that you are at these PRs are there to allow us to have a very good idea of what you can do. So, to give an extreme example, changing a comma or a capitalization in a comment is wasting our time. On the other side, a substantial PR that adds a new functionality has tests, test suites and all that that's complete is very good one. And also the PR that's maybe four lines, but it's fully fully a hand tuned and optimize and has 80 lines of tests to demonstrate that these three lines of codes do what they're supposed to do. This okay too. So if somebody wants to add. Oh, that's great. I think we have about three minutes left. So, yeah, go to the last question. I think, yes. So, can I may I offer on the last question. Yes, please. Go ahead. Okay, so the question is, I'm interested in screenshot automation for Jenkins documentation. I'll end the description of the question there screenshot automation for Jenkins documentation is a good choice for a project if you're interested in how would we capture pictures that we can that embed in the Jenkins documentation. And yes, it is vague because what you'll have to do is run Jenkins, have some way of describing to Jenkins where it should navigate, and then you take the screenshots and capture those to compare with what's already in the existing documentation. No, it's not supposed to be a plug in. It would be a separate tool. We already have separate tools that run other documentation generation exercises. And we would this would be another tool like that. And you can read the description there. You're welcome to ask more questions. Right now, I'm less interested personally in that one that I am in some others, but there may be other mentors who are interested in in mentoring it. That's it for me. Thanks Mark john marker Chris anything else to add before we end. I just want to say, this is an incredible and exciting adventures that you all are going to embark it. You're going to learn some will stop earlier. Some will go all the way to the summit. But this is an incredible adventure you're going to start. And I'm always happy and proud to be just a little piece to to share my enthusiasm about that and this great adventure I never have been disappointed is what I wanted to say. Thanks so much somebody else wants to conclude. Thanks. All right. Thanks everybody. I'll get the recording out shortly. Questions and discussion can continue on get her after this one. Thanks all. Bye. Bye bye.
