I like that one right here We'll roll it one two three for the left side four five six for the right side And it's six will be the right side. So this will save for Next time this which will be the break after this So this is four box break to four box break three is coming up right afterwards Schedules in the chat as well We're running a little bit behind schedule, but I think we're gonna catch up on the on the mosaics right there G major says no point in watching this break yet again. Well, who do you have? Who do you have G major? I don't know. I forget who G majors real name What is real name is or her real name jazz for pelicans? Maybe? Pacers for Kings perhaps all five teams for the pelicans Maybe maybe G major is Matthew G with the rock. I don't know that James Harden Stained glass that we pulled in the couple enough in a pick your team break. That's gonna cover. Well, how much is this break? That'll cover the spot easily All right, it looks like no deal. No deals are being done TWC trade window closed Kevin saying he's the first time he's got the pelicans He's not moving them even for five five for one Yeah, that's Kevin M right there. All right trade window closed. Let's print. Let's rip a lot of trade chatter But no no deals done yet.  So I gotta I gotta roll here. All right good luck everybody and We can't really honor those those cash for whatever kind of deals because then we have to wait for someone to pay and then get the Get their money after wait on someone to be like, oh, I got the payment. Let's go. I didn't get the payment blah blah blah So no, I can't do those Cash plus team or whatever kind of deals. We're just gonna not do those I don't think we've ever we've ever no one's ever actually went through with it here in the site over the years, but Kevin Knox to 25 Adam awfully trustworthy Trusting that is he's Adam. It's like I was just gonna take his word and then get his Venmo No, but then if someone renegs or something like that break turned out to be not good and then they're like, ah, no I don't want to do it and then get people get salty. There's no recourse for me You know, I can't do anything about it So Michael Huck, what's up? I Don't know I will not be doing that tri-star hidden treasures baseball That'll be tomorrow LeBron James overdrive That's for the Lakers.

Where is the Joe commission? What do you mean? 33 there's the silver RJ Barrett as well, which is pretty nice. I Know Michael, but we've just run out of time today won't be able to do that and Kevin Johnson for the Suns didn't he end up being a public figure like a mayor of Phoenix Sacramento something like that We'll go to Adam Kelly Marvin Bagley Sacramento. That's right to 99 That's for Sacramento. That'll be for Adam Kelly as well All card ships are everything you see here in this break if you have that team you're gonna get these cards Trey young center stage And Kevin Durant at the very end. Let's get this one right here. It could be a stage name Barclay, I think should be both usually There's the checklist right there. I know his team USA cards will go to the Sixers But actually I'm looking at this. I'm staring at the Sixers checklist right now He has base Hall of Fame as a Sixer team USA as a Sixer a vet auto as a Sixer and Charles Barclay is I think not on the checklist as a son Sure, Ken. So just email us jasky's case breaks at gmail.com Your loss will be someone else's game Carl I am a big Lakers fan. I've never been to a Lakers game They're expensive There's goga rookie silver for the Pacers and there's Jordan pool for the Warriors Vince Carter, I'll go to the Raptors Taco Fall PJ Washington Kara Sliver Thomas Bryant. Sorry Zach Levine Lou Williams Cam Reddish Derek Rose NBA debut Zion. Wait, what Adam Kelly? Are you are you in the? corrugated paper industry There's introductions Zion No, I don't really really look at the emails Adam Kelly nice TJ Leonard He has the Mavs and we got an RJ Barrett autograph. Nice New York Knicks Well, there's only one email jasky's case breaks at gmail.com nice RJ Barrett for the Knicks Alex Donnelly I Interesting well now I'm curious. I'm always So we go through we go through you line Adam Kelly. I'm sure you're familiar with them Palakins another pal by the way for Kevin M. All those add up those ions Your spot is probably covered now and now everything else just profit You can almost be always be you line pricing Adam Kelly. I love hearing stuff like that Yanis overdrive nice bucks. It's from Matthew Shira. Oh Oh, I See Adam Kelly. I see you line So you're saying skip the middleman we go direct to you Hmm, which would probably save us a lot of dollar dollar bills and We are a for-profit business We're always looking for an edge in that case Wow, you've been slap a logo on the box. We've that that's been like that's been like a Shipping dream. We only dream about that kind of stuff because we're like, oh, it's too expensive to get our logo on the box Although we might not want the logo on the box. Maybe people will steal things They're like, oh Jaspie's collectibles. I'm gonna steal it off someone's porch Yeah, but okay. Well Adam Kelly Well now that that's that's good reason for For me to on the in it could go on the inside of the box All right, that blows my mind. Okay. Maybe we need to do that Well, okay, I'll need to This is a this is a situation that has now been upgraded Upgraded to to Joe's attention So we'll talk Adam Kelly. Yeah, maybe no logo on the outside of the box, but Yeah, but if I start checking emails John Samuelson, then I'm then I'm answering emails about Where's my tracking number? I Get paid too much for that. They don't want me to do that. I like Joe. That's not the best use of your time No drama Jeremy 33 it was her drama.  Let's say one of these LeBron's to Yeah, Adam was just chopped liver moan. No Adam was not but And that there is definitely an extra layer now that that is worth exploring As a potential business opportunity Adam's just a good salesman. I'm just sitting here. I he's he's selling his selling his corrugated boxes selling them direct Skip U-line F. U-line. It's been pretty good. I mean, they're they're evolving good I mean R. J. Barrett autographs the stair Smart so that create another R. J. Barrett silver Jomerant heavy-based like color Adam Kelly says He can beat U-line prices For boxes, right? Oh, yeah We got it we got a prototype box. We got we got we got to hit him up He was telling us he's told me Laker tickets No, I mean, he just keeps buying the Grizzlies like he usually does Well, we'll we'll contract him out for boxes everyone wins We'll do we'll do our swag with Brian people's in San Diego See they put money into us. We'll put money into them other RJ Barrett introductions Pages to Yakovic. I know that's the crazy part. I Kind of like that.  Yeah, like, you know The parallel the base mosaic parallel this will be like 50 bucks.  There's like this LeBron James one out of 25 That's right, Jimmy. See Jimmy gets it. Joe is the talent. He doesn't answer emails. He doesn't look at emails Yeah, yeah, thanks Jimmy Jimmy understands Yeah, so that that's LeBron James. What does that go for about 500 bucks is Adam? Yeah, these these white mosaic parallels are pretty cool. All right, so it's a personal thing for AK AK is just like man, I get bummed out every time I get a U-line box in the mail All right, so well It's like it's gonna work out for all of us Actually, yeah, that's cast sorry. That's Kaz LeBron James by the way That James Koo Gonna go for a lot Taking a LV break Nice nice nice Yeah, Jason will be back. He's gonna do a little dinner break And he's got a ton of stuff that he can break too. I can't believe all your mosaics gone There you go $80 less, you know where to go for personal boxes We can sell boxes for $80 less than the market Still make what we need to make heat the lights on You get some big hits and everyone's happy. Well, yeah next time we got to buy it for more next time, too Yeah, no Chris say maybe even a thousand on that LeBron 25 I know the prices have been so crazy every time someone goes. What do you think that goes for? I'm always low by like so much and Then I'm always my eyes always bug out when they're like no Joe on eBay just sold for like a grand Yeah, do that gold away from team also for 4,000 LeBron. No Geez The goals gold waves aren't even numbered. I know they're not That helps that definitely helps James Harden stained glass those stained glasses have been doing pretty well I don't know someone said that that Kyrie went for like 150 200 bucks So I got to think that the that the James Harden stained glass probably goes around the same amount Yon is going for like four or five hundred bucks for the stained glass someone mentioned in the chat It's one thing I need to work on get it getting more familiar or Memorizing the market prices a little bit more often Jackson Hayes purple to 49 LeBron stained glass went to 1400. Yeah grading companies are still still going. Yeah, like Trey saying Beckett's in Texas. So they're all they're all good to go. I think they did Pretty much a more broad reopening of things PSA's in Near work Sean Corbett lives in Orange County Just maybe about an hour south of us and I think they're open and Operating on a limited basis, but they're they're accepting stuff and they're they're grading stuff and they're getting it out the door Nice introduction Zion I'm I would imagine they're all backed up though Yeah, they probably have submissions that they were that's been sent in During this whole pandemic plus the new submission that they're gonna get to so I Would imagine they are Jeremy 33 also saying sell modern-day basketball sell. Is he wrong? Am I wrong? He asks Is he there's Trey young stained glass Adam Kelly with the Hawks Yeah, Megan that that LeBron was was calves I think you got a LeBron that was Lakers edition though in random team one. This is random team two There's Christian Latiner everyone loves him that'll be for the Timberwolves Joseph Fest with that. Oh That's it. I was just like do I have more boxes? I would my brain was in 12 box mode. All right Well, there you go.

That was your break ladies and gentlemen four box random team two four box random team three We'll be coming up After this in a separate video Joe for jasmine's case rakes.com. See you next time. Bye


The judges and all the attendants of this music festival, you know that I'm also a member of the County Public Accounts Committee. I'm a member of the County Public Accounts Committee and as your senator, we will subject this festival to hold it so that we can satisfy the people of Nairobi's lands. That's my name. Number two, your Excellency, as you are saying yourself, it is not possible to always agree on anything. But I have made a commitment as your senator that if it comes to issues of Nairobi, come and demand for a Nairobi, I don't think there is anybody who expects that we will agree on everything. But at least we have agreed that when it comes to issues of Nairobi and when you send me an invitation, I'm more than honored to come because these are people who voted for us. They know why they decided that for governor they are going to vote this way and for senator they are going to vote this way. We don't vote them, it is in their wisdom, they know why they voted that. Thirdly, governor, I know that our country is in deep pain. We are senators that are aware that the County Governments have not received money from December and we are doing our best in terms of bringing up these issues so that people like my brother, Moses Kouria, can use something about it. And you know that the division of Refugee League is coming before the Senate. You know me, I am going to fight for Nairobi. I am going to fight for Nairobi as much as we can get allocated to Nairobi. We know there has been a proposal of 390 billion from the executive side. We at the Senate, I am hoping we can get my partisanship on the issue. We are saying 425 billion. And when we get you that money government, please, you have seen the talent that is here. In fact, this is just but a fraction of the talent in Nairobi. We believe that there is great, great talent in this city. I want to get you that money government. And I request that you, when we have had this discussion with you, please, you want to build a public recording studio for Nairobi. So that... How are you? Why are you going to be able to do this? Why are you going to be able to do this? Why are you going to record music here with the President of Nairobi? So that you are going to be able to sustain one of the years. Because we have a lot of talent, we have seen like the studios in the... We have seen like the studios in the we have seen like the studios in the... So now I want to thank you in the name of M.C.S. and the C.C.S.P. We must keep doing this, but we have to do this. We still have to do the same. We should not do that. The M.C.S.P. was not there until a month ago, and after that it was the first year. It was the first year that the M.C.S.P. was supporting the M.C.S.P. You are going to be able to do this.


The great search brought to you by DigiKey and Adafruit. We do these every single weekly data user superpowers of the DigiKey site to search for the things you need this week is Rotary Encoder. Right, so this project here, this is a little USB to Rotary Encoder doodad that I put together. It's super fun for just you plug this out of your laptop and you've got a little knob. Rotary Encoders are neat because they go all the way around as you see here. Unlike potentiometers that only go, you know, from minimum to maximum, maybe 270 degrees out of 360, this can go round and round and round and round. There's a couple of trade-offs. One is it's only relative. You don't know where it's pointing. This has a blue pointer on it, but that pointer, this doesn't know where that pointer is pointing. All it knows is like it went left one, it went right one, or clockwise, counterclockwise, or witter shins or whatever the opposite of witter shins is. And another thing is that it's not smooth. It's got little detents. At least this one does. And, you know, you can't hear it, but there's a little bit of like a tick tick every time I move it. It only moves a couple. It only moves into certain orientations. It's not smooth like potentiometer. Another thing you can customize is how many of those little ticks detents there are per rotation. This one has 24. I haven't liked 24, but there's ones that do 12. There's ones that do more. 12 and 24 are kind of the most common now. One thing that this rotary encoder has that is really nice is it's got a clicky switch built into it. So, you know, I can see I'm pressing it. The hat goes down just a little bit, but it's a nice clicky switch. If you're an engineer and you have an oscilloscope, there's like 18 rotary encoders on a scope. This is the D-shaft. Why is it called D-shaft? Can we call it like a D-shape? Note that some rotary encoders have T18. They have knurled shafts. You got to pick one or the other. Rotary encoders tend to have D. The potentiometers tend to have T18. But, you know, if you want to use a knob from a potentiometer or rotary encoder or vice versa, just make sure that the knob matches the shaft because you can tell this is a D-shaft. There's a D-shape cutout. And then, if you have a knurled or T18 style, it looks like a little star with 18 splines on it. So, just something to watch for. We're gonna look for a very common rotary encoder. Again, we want one with D-tents. I like the D-tents. I want it to have the switch built in. I want to have a D-shaft. And I want to have 24 D-tents per rotation. So, to the digit key. Let's go. Okay. So, let's search for encoder. So, one thing to note. Encoder means a lot of things. A lot of encoders in electronics. So, we do want the encoder category.  What is this? This is not what I'm looking for. These are huge. What's going on? These are, you know, industrial encoders for motors and servos. So, just, you know, be aware, like the same thing that you might use and twist and turn to set your FM station or to adjust the user interface for your oscilloscope is also used in motors to tell what the rotation and orientation is. And they are different. I mean, they're similar in concept, but they're often one a lot more expensive and they're kind of huge. And they sometimes use optical or absolute orientation or they're magnetic, not mechanical. We just want a simple mechanical encoder.  But other than active, we always like to pick active. What you want is called a, so there's all these different types over here. I see these types over here. We want quadrature incremental or sometimes, sometimes called incremental. But in this case is only, it's called quadrature incremental. What that means is there's two pins.  Why is it quad? It's because each one can be higher low. And so you have four total states, two higher low for each switch. And there's two switches, two times two, four quadrature and incremental because you again, only know when you're turning counterclockwise or clockwise. You don't know the absolute location.  Yes. They're not going to be a dollar or two. They're going to be quite expensive. Okay. So then let's click accept to apply all. Okay. Now we're trying to see, okay, yeah, these are trying to look a little bit more like what we want. And there's, you know, a ton of different encoders. Like this is a, you know, common style note. You see this one has the T18 knob. I can't mouse over, but you know, you, if you look at the knob, it's gotten like knurls on it. Whereas if you look at this one, it's pretty clearly got the D shaft. It's a cut circle. Okay. So next up, let's look for ones that are, you know, in stock right now. And okay. So we have a couple options here again. I want the built-in switch. You pay a little more for built-in switch, but I like it. So let's get the switch and detents. I like detents too. So let's pick that. Next up, there's, you know, two different orientations. You can have them stick out or you can have them stick up. For this project, for the USB rotary trinket, I want it this way, which is vertical. This is a right angle. So let's go vertical. Oh, what's users? What is user selectable? Oh, because it got wires on it. Yeah, okay. That's cool. Yeah, that's fair. It is user selectable. Technically, that's true. But we want, we want vertical. Okay. So we got, we're starting to pair down the options. I think we have... What's the width index? The width index. Not width isn't wide. Width isn't width index. I guess it's a... Width index. Sorry. Where, where do you see that? I don't know. That was a question from the chat. Oh, sometimes, well, I don't know exactly what they're referring to, but see how this one has a little bit of a nubbin that sticks out to the right? It's kind of like right above the three pins. There's a little bit of a nubbin. That's often called the indexer. Like it's a little index nub, and it helps seed it into... Like this one doesn't have that nubbin. It's hard to explain what it is, but you'll know when you see it. This is kind of cool. This one is a translucent. You can have LED shine through. I don't see... I don't see others with a nubbin, but okay. So let's... Sorry, got to get back to things. Okay, next up. Pulse is poor evolution. Again, you can choose how many. Note that there's a bunch of options, but really, there's only like 12 and 24. Those are... I don't really see a lot with others. So let's do that. Okay, looking good. And then rotational life. You'll pay more for rotational life as expected. It depends on how often people are going to be tweaking the thing, do the math on expected use per day. I will say that my oldest oscilloscope, not this one, but the selector knob for the first channel, the yellow channel, the rotary encoder did eventually die because I was using it maybe like an hour a day up to. I'd be setting the scale for the first channel and eventually it did get really flaky. And so, you know, I now have to kind of just hold it in the right way when I twist it. Hopefully I'll replace it. Maybe one of these Descaladiators. I'll do that. Okay, next up. So we don't want knurled and we want flatted. I don't remember the diameter, but I'm going to just pick these two. I don't want the illuminated, although that's like super cool, maybe some other day. And then at this point, I'm kind of like nothing else really matters. I want mechanical for sure. Optical, extremely reliable, more expensive. They use optical switches. And then let's just sort by price. And you can see that you can get ones with kind of like this little stubby or slightly stubby or longer shafts. This one has a panel mount screw. So you see it's threaded. Whereas this one does not. It just depends on what you want it to look like. If you have it sticking out of a panel, you don't want those threads because it could not look so great. But you know, this one is inexpensive and you know, maybe I would pick this one to start. Price is about a dollar and it goes down to about 60 cents in quantity and it looks fine. So you'll see it's got the three pins here. Those are the switches. So it's a common and then A and B are used as the rotational detection. And then up here is the separate switch. The switch when you press into the shaft, it closes those two pins. And so yeah, I think this is going to be a good, looks, you know, it's kind of a generic, but a good wood reencoder.  Lots of rotary encoder options. It's a very, very popular user interface. So that's the great search for rotary encoders.


We are here today to Tell your fedora story now the session name might not be Super obvious, so I am going to hide us in we'll see you soon So I'm going to talk a little bit about the idea behind the session and what we're doing for the fedora week of diversity so the Fedora week of diversity is a Transformation of Fedora Women's Day. I think it's about four or five year long running event that we've done and You know women What was the first very obvious place to focus our D&I efforts? As we have not very many women or nine very ordinary folks in tech There's a lot more men in this industry So it seemed like an obvious first place, but as we've grown as a culture a community And society overall especially with the things that we've learned in the last two years We've decided to move this event to the Fedora week of diversity So this is to be even further inclusive and we're not not celebrating women. We're still celebrating women and all of the other Intersections of diversity that has so that's what fedora week of diversity is Yonah the bull and I are leading up an effort to make this happen and The concept behind the fedora week of fedora Fedora week of diversity is telling Fedora stories so we're not trying to Display some sort of ingenuous disingenuous Kind of display of what we want fedora diversity to be or what we think it should be instead we're looking to The community to say hey we want to hear your fedora story and those are the stories that are Meaningful to folks that They're probably going through the types of things that Bound you to fedora like your identity as a fedora and so The idea behind this is I Don't know if Grayson is going to join us. He was supposed to be here, but it's Saturday morning. So maybe not I See him in the people section there. So he's okay. Hi Grayson. So we're also Partnering with the podcast. Hey Grayson. Thanks for joining us If you wanted me in here yet, I want you. Yes, come on. So anyway, so we're partnering with the Fedora podcast to record some content here today, so we thought this would be a great chance to catch a bunch of fedorans all at once and Be able to converse with you about your fedora story. So How it's going to work is Grayson has set up a recording room for us Meanwhile, we will just chat and you know explain to newcomers who are coming in what we're doing here Meanwhile, we also can record and happen. This is being recorded right now. So if we have some Chat or conversation in here, we can use that as well. So we're gonna have like two places We're basically telling stories and doing recordings So we have some prompts if I don't have anyone has that hack and be up The ball, you know, I can look for it real quick. I'm having some pipe wire issues So I'm gonna reboot and be fast as there'll be back as fast as possible Sounds good So right so we have two different space. So we're gonna have prompts for people. So questions. So I'll just Get the pumps primed here. So This is like I mentioned We want to hear a story about your fedora experience. So for example Who is your fedora mentor and what have you learned from them? What was your aha or transformative moment Like to solidify you as a fedora contributor What was the most fun you've had Contributing to fedora or being a part of the community So these types of questions So as folks Are feeling comfortable to Tell their fedora story. We're gonna invite them up onto the screen and then once they're done, they're going to Leave the screen and we're going to have somebody else come up. The reason for this is the more People we have up on the screen the smaller and smaller our video Our faces get on the recording So and also we want to give people that chance to tell their story without a lot of interruptions so We won't Grayson comes back. We'll get a volunteer to Join him in his recording room and I'm sure he'll drop a link for us for now What we can do is Have somebody come up and talk to us about their fedora story Paul would like to tell his fedora story Okay, let's do that. Oh You actually I don't see you on the moderation panel. I did it. Okay, cool. Hello. Uh, am I ready? You are hi Paul. How are you today? Good? Hello? I am Paul Flaherty. I have autism and ADHD. I am I Have been using Linux ever since 2015 I've Discovered Linux somebody told me my father told me that Linux is this OS for computer geeks Me being very curious in the Linux operating system. I just started exploring and I have an old image of me on an Ubuntu live CD I was using Ubuntu 14.04. That's how I started then I discovered Fedora Um, I discovered Fedora and I was like, wow, this is cool. I can get this It looks like well, and it has all the new gnome features gnome features and just want to get the gnome community to I'm gonna say it proper. Good gnome. So You know have the good new network option seeing environment. So I am just uh, I I was um, I just discovered during the pandemic my summer camp program closed down so I was thinking there was nothing to do so I thought oh, I could contribute to Fedora and Gnome and I went to conferences and I Go to Linux conventions and now I'm running Linux on my machine that can't run Linux I'm also running Fedora on my laptop. So and and then I went to Gwadek and I met Ricard and Andi who are really great and I'm so happy to input advice and Fedora, it's a great project to work with You guys I Like you guys you're very inclusive your help assist people you value freedom and free software You're kind of your as value you have that value as much as Debbie and us Which is pretty interesting for a corporate sponsored distro and I'm so happy that you guys are I'm so happy that you guys actually embraced freedom which is good because I know that where the OS I used to use I'm not naming it had a lot of Spying problems, you know windows Right, can I ask you something Paul? Yes? What's your favorite Fedora moment so far? Yeah, when you were laughing during the You are not not laughing. I was being I was at the conference The the cake thing and I was talking to the people about red hat and rattle And I was laughing because they were like there was Debbie in and then there was a We're talking about how red hat was just so hard to manage back in the day And not red hat was so hard, but not red hat. Oh, not red hat Debbie in was so hard to manage so people use red hat Yeah, so I just I'm wondering so how did you um so I'm so happy that the community is very excited to Bring people on and I'm looking someday. Maybe after I go to college to actually work for red hat Cool, that's an awesome goal. Well, thank you so much Paul for coming up and telling your story So let's somebody else join the screen. Yeah. Thank you Right next we have a card. Hi, Ricardo. Are you there with us? I can't hear the sound. Is it me? I Can't hear it as well Yes, don't know sound record. Sorry Maybe try refreshing Marie you are muted. Just realize that Well, we went for record to come back Is there anyone else who is interested in telling their fedora story this? Paul so What we're going to do with this content is we're going to edit it into a series for a fedora week of diversity So it will be published throughout the week Of diversity and that's the second week of october, I believe And you'll see things on youtube and you'll see things on the community blog and a couple other places No Is it a pipe wire issue? Still nothing from your card Yeah, they just mentioned they'll try from a different computer Uh Yeah technology Uh, yeah, there's a test your audio video session under the sessions tab if you Need to try to figure all that out All right, so I'm gonna ask vipo then Vipo, who was your fedora mentor? And tell us one story about working with them So in 2000 early 2016 I had a broken foot and I made this person working fedora qa We all know him suman through and He introduced me to do things around fedora qa and I he said oh come in the meeting tonight on irc And I'll introduce you to adam williamson and I was so excited. Oh, yes, it would be great. And then the way I was introduced and the welcome. I just loved it After that I started doing a bunch of things in qa then I met yona in flock. That was fun She was doing a lot of things around minted project and she was doing outreachy and fedora some of Google summer of code things Where we were talking about happiness packet if I remember correctly addressed him Right, so that was also fun and obviously oh so many i'm just trying to think I also have been I have so many mentors throughout the time But yeah suman through was the original one. I'll say that And still is we talk a lot of the times and we discuss how things are with our infrastructure side qa side how we can work together I have a question Now that like you've been involved in fedora for so long and you're on cpe like do you see still see suman through as your mentor? I always consider him as one. He was the one to introduce me to fedora and I knew off linux. I had used a little bit, but the day I met him I ended up installing operating system that I had at that time and install fedora directly jumped in it And after that he taught me a bunch of things. So yes, definitely. I do consider him my mentor even Cool I'm gonna ask yona If you feel comfortable, would you like to tell us about your fedora mentor and One thing about them or a story of how they helped you Yeah, sure. So For me it was yanis He's part of the Fedora greek community. He's not active now, but at the time he was very active and actually I saw him at old sky the first conference that we did in tirana. He gave a talk about fedora and I remember that after his talk I went at the fedora booth So I took a dvd. So he convinced me to you know, install fedora on my computer And since then I kept contact with him him and also ardian from the fedora community in kosovo They were like very helpful and they helped me to become an ambassador and so on And yeah, I really enjoyed learning about fedora from both of them and Favorite moments. Well, usually I would say especially flock Um, and my first one was in krakow in poland And it was really great that you know the people that you work through the whole year finally you are meeting them in person And it was like really really great. So you especially when it's the time for flock that we can Meet each other in person or now, you know online It's it's really great We have so many great memories and That's why yeah, my favorite thing in fedora. It's um, the community the people And what about I'm getting a little I'm getting a little little feels Oh, yeah, meet people and hug them. It's one of the things that I miss a lot Yes, um, my mentor. So my mentor is no duffy People know mo as nizmo online Or duffy I think too. Um, so mo is the fedora design team leader And I was connected to mo through an outreach internship Uh in 2013 working on fedora badges Since then mo has Encouraged me and supported me like literally every step of the way Mo wrote me the recommendation For the fedora community action and impact coordinator Position and when I read the letter that she wrote me I literally cried That I don't want to say that's my favorite moment with my mentor, but It just showed How much mo was ready to support? Other women in this industry, which is super important and an inspiration to me I'm part of why I now mentor for outreach II right. I realize Impact that it had on me and my career in my life um Not just my career confidence, right? there's like attributes that I've learned from being a part of fedora that uh Effect and improve my life across the board. So Mo was just instrumental in my entire fedora story And now I get to work with her on like a weekly basis basically on something or another I'm gonna say my favorite or my The moment that I think of a lot or often is I was going to um It was a design fad. So a fad is a fator activity day where the folks In the audience. I don't know what a fad is um So I was at a design fad and I was talking to mo about Badges, right? So I had started doing the internship and I was like Still maintaining it and doing work there and it'd been like maybe a year or so like continued engagement after my internship So I'm asking her like hey. I want to do this thing with badges Or I want to make this decision about badges and she just looked at me and said You run badges Why are you asking me about making this decision, right? It's one of the most powerful moments For me with mo was her empowering me To to to lead in that way, right and getting the signal from my mentor to lead something was Huge for me at the time. Uh, it was a huge boost in my confidence and my Uh, you know, even my fedora identity, right? Like being a leader In this even for a sub project um Was was pretty impactful for me. Okay, rickard. I see that you're ready. Please come up and join us except That's it. Are you hearing me now? Are you hearing me now? Yeah, we can No, no, it's it's the thing. I I've never been able to solve this problem. It it was the same problem in guatec too that I I don't know why my firefox browser and my ubuntu home share the audio, but anyway, I rebooted to windows. It's over Well, this thing we've we've diversity and inclusion is it's always difficult I started using Linux in the late 90s uh friend In in in a class and we we bought We bought like a cd set and then we burned it and I think That he was a little bit more tech sad savvy than what I I was and and I think he went with slack where and I went with red hat Then to to and and at that time I was not part of of the linux community though In 2001 and 2002 I was unemployed. So then I I had as a hobby to build a small linux cluster using I used pvm And then then I was like on a bay wolf mailing list I won't say if I if that was to be a part of the linux community or not, but That I did and then let's forward on to the the the present door or where my new diversity story starts I was in a school where Where let's say I won't name the school, but let's just say that these students had a problem with people being different and also Teachers not to their liking And it happened to neuro typical teachers also that If they didn't like a person they would go and complain and that was when I hit the wall and then I started to think about Is it good to disclose the diagnosis or not and it has causes me this was roughly six years ago and it has caused me both pros and cons but but that's when my to the present when my neurodiversity journey or thoughts to be open or not in a diagnosis was considered and then I had many problems with Swedish authorities in the year 2017 and on so that was also a thing but then I started to thinking about it And and it's a great good thing. Actually sap in it's a german Software company that does business systems. They had a neurodiversity program as early as 2015 no, 2014, but then there's the problem that They only looked for top top programmers And and I'm not the top programmer I would be able to teach a high school class or a basic college level class on how to program java 101 or c101 or things like that But and that's also what's one of the other reasons I hit the wall that I'm not very good at web programming so for me, I think accommodations of Of like a cognitive kind To have work that I that I can do and perhaps a slower working pace or working Less hours than full-time or good accommodations And some people might need no accommodations on the spectrum. So All people are different and in the EU in sweden the employer the swedish public employment office can pay An employer for accommodations. I know that there are such systems also in other european countries but That is something and there's something also called the european social fund where one can see Money for such things like accommodation, but then I won't I don't know what the us and what's the check and so on but And and to finish off my talk then The and then I wrote this article on on neurodiversity and I'm happy to to for the reception and and I'm I'm I'm and I also think it's This thing with accessibility that I've also talked with paul had if other other Community members of the linux community want to contribute to the work of making linux more accessible That would also be interesting for to me and other neurodiverse people. So thanks for letting me join I So what is your experience so far in the fedora community been like In regards to some of the issues and topics that you were talking about No, I think it's been good And I also really liked that that is welcoming and that you invite people and and that you and that the other session Was was also good. And and I I also had It was it was announced that we talked in guana. So that my experience has been very good Awesome, I'm so glad to hear that Bye You know, I missed a totally crucial part of this which is there is a fedora badge to earn If you come up and tell your fedora story Really, it's for anyone who's involved in organizing or being part of the fedora week of diversity at all. It's not specific to nest so Please, uh, if badges motivate you Join us zippo. Go ahead Yeah, I was just saying to all those folks who have already been here. Can you please share your Fast side directly in my message section there or you can on the chat if you're comfortable and I'll award you guys right away So Grayson is on screen. I wonder if you would be willing to tell us a little bit about your fedora mentor and How that experience has been for you and do you have like a favorite memory or a ha moment working with your mentor? um well I never really like followed the The correct path. I guess for how to get into fedora. I kind of just made it up Uh, if I had picking someone who kind of mentored me into fedora that would definitely be neil gampa gampa he um I was he actually was the one who originally convinced me to use fedora and then slowly dragged me into contributing and uh Nick bebout was also really helpful. He got me into fedora badges um, so I Got into fedora badges started helping with pushing that pushing those badges doing the sysadmin end of things and just kind of looking around and then I um I knew that I didn't really want to do programming that has never really interested me and yeah and so I found the fedora marketing team which at that point was semi defunct It was pretty much just edward and reached out to him and we talked about Well, what what needs to be done? There's a massive pile of things that need to be done And he gave me this list of like different areas in fedora where marketing is needed And I decided to reject all of them And asked about so what's the status on that podcast and he was like well i'm working on it, but You know, it's it's a lot of work for one guy. So I um started helping out with that and did that but Yeah, that's very fedora like yeah, all those things are nice, but I have an idea and I'm I have something I want to do that. I think will be beneficial for it Cool. Um, okay. So I've never really had one person. It's kind of just been I ask everyone all the questions Yeah, we chat about stuff all the time Grayson. So, um Unfortunately, I have to exit the session Vipple and Yona are going to continue on without me. I'm in so many different sessions that it was kind of impossible Not to have some things overlap, especially with time zones things because most folks want it in the morning for me. So Thank you for everybody. Yes. Thank you for everybody came. Sorry. I have to dip out a little bit Yeah, uh, someone says we need to find a way to fork marie for conferences. I was back at that All right. Yes. Thanks. Ever. Thanks again. I'm sure Marie could use help of another Marie Yes Bye Bye. Thank you so So there's someone else wants to jump and share the fedora story Also, Ricard, can you please share your facet so I can award you the badge And lince is here So hello, I don't want to steal the stage because I think I'm in almost every imaginable way Person who belongs to the majority of something Neurotypical I'm white. I'm male. I'm relatively old. I'm a developer. So for open source free software projects like This is where the majority is right What what I like about about participating in fedora very much is to Come into contact with and collaborate with people who are not like myself Which is very available to me to also sometimes get get out of the comfort zone um To like to try to Understand Someone someone else says situation or point of view and also appreciate that Like we've been doing this for a for a long time, but uh in in in the early fedora days, it was it was really something to Uh that I had to wrap around my Head about if that makes sense That not just developers can contribute to this This is so valuable like, um Design team Outreaching that that stuff that it's not something that comes naturally to me But other for other folks do that and this is so Like any any piece of that that's missing Fedora would be less for it, right? so I think this sums up In some way my my fedora story Just give us one second. Let me pull something out We have been we have a script that we try to do and we did it in Last in-person vlog as well and created a very beautiful video. So Do you see this in chat? I'll pin this Okay, um Then let's go back to hi. My name is neils. I'm from uh from germany from the southwest part of it I am what I am I I'm I'm a developer by trade. Um Been doing that for Well 20 plus years now, so I use the predecessors of fedora redhead linux back to I think redhead linux folded over some time around the late 1990s, so I'm old folk and I speak, um German which is my mother language. I speak english fluently I speak French and Italian a bit and um, let's not get into programming languages We also want to make kind of like a um A co like a co collage of people saying I am fedora. I didn't see that See, um, yeah, okay. Shall we do it again? I mean, I'm gonna bore you guys Let's let's make joke. Hi. My name is neils. I'm from germany. I'm a developer and I speak german and english For the most part I am fedora Thank you And neils if you can share your fast id in the chat or in direct message. I'll be awarding you that Yeah, and we have In after this So luna if you can start sharing your audience video we can accept you So should we start with the script part or day one? Yeah, let's start with your story first luna and then we can in the end we can wrap up this script. All right, yeah Yeah, my story is I translate a lot of open source and been doing that for a couple of years and then in the GNOME them lights the translation system that knomes uses there is a free desktop other projects link And there I found the translates that fedora project at org site with fedora web late So I signed up there about one and a half a year ago and started hoping out a bit And then at nest last year I started hoping about a bit with the q8 testing as well and And there I got officially a fedora contributor. So being that's for about a year now That's about that. I think and my name is luna jernberg. I'm from sweden And I'm a localizer And a tester and I speak swanska. That's swedish in swedish And I am fedora And I identify as non binary Thank you No problem You know, do you think the script is okay and then we can start back get back to this session Yeah I think it's great So there you wanted to share your story, right? Are you interested in that now? And rika just one thing I'm trying to award you the badge, but you have not logged into badges dot fedora project dot org You need to do that before I can award you a badge, which means you have to create an account there using your fast id I think My pronouns are she and her I'm from india. I am heterosexual And I speak hindi english and I'd like to believe I can speak some friends as well And I am fedora. I'm actually I think Pretty fresh contributor like I'm currently an outreach a intern And I'm working with the design team. My project is creating designs for the community outreach revamp So I think I'm probably one of the like freshest contributors here And I got involved with fedora through outreach and for me, it's been like an amazing experience so far I got to speak to a lot a lot of people. I got involved with a lot of people like Like being like for example Seeing something that I've made we shared or Be created like Like if something like swag Is Actually printed out and created. I feel like that is an amazing feeling something that I hadn't really Experienced before so it's been amazing. My mentor is miri and she's obviously been a very strong supporter figure like I didn't look up to my mentor and Like it's been an amazing experience for me I think this conscience would probably go down as like one of my best memories because I think one of the things is that I got to work on the museum map and like it was really nice seeing so many people on there And so many people sharing it and speaking about it. So that felt amazing And apart from that I got to speak and present like I got to talk and that felt really good as well So women in tech like in india sometimes it's there's a lot of This feeling like you're in I think it's called imposter syndrome. So you can get a lot of that. So I gained a lot of confidence by contributing to open source And I'll definitely become like continuing after my internship. We deserve it That's about me Thank you for sharing and welcome. You're not new Relatively it's I have no I've known you for a while and thank you for being here Thank you for sharing your story and you just share your fast side in the chat So who else wants to join? I see we have many people around so we would love to hear some more stories. Yes, sure you can join. Yeah To join just click on share audio video on your right hand side of the screen Where you see us And I'll let you in I think can you give that a try again? I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing the wrong wrong name.  Oh So my english is not that great. So pardon me if I make mistake So my name is Dilik. I'm from indonesia. I'm a man and I speak indonesian and english Oh, I am fedora Uh It's been a year ago since I contribute to fedora But I think I started to engage with fedora people when I found some bugs in docs fp.io .o and fix it in pagore In our like correcting some strings and sutra. So simple, right? Uh, and then which brings me to this point I started to create a package back then so It was just a simple bus script that I make myself. So I'm asking about packaging that To fedora join. I can renew back then. So I was helped by uncle sinha And now he is my sponsor and my mentor to learn more about packaging. Also, it ends up only at fedora copper but I'm still really glad for the help. I started my journey to learn more about floss since then I thought um Also, it already one year from that point Uh I'm A packageer now. So I don't know what's my favorite things with my mentor But I would say the experience of working with him through irc network is good so far So that's all thank you Thank you You can also leave in the chat your face id so we can uh award you the badge All right, uh good point names.

There's other ways to give back and uh I was in a telegram group last year and someone Invited me to nest just in a generic and invite and i'm like, oh, what's this kind of clicked on it? and then started down the rabbit trail of Becoming fedora and getting involved and part of the reason why I never gave back is I was distro hopper I was trying to find the next thing or or whatever and um, and since I've installed fedora. I've been running fedora for a year Probably the most known person I've connected with in the fedora community is like grace and said neil gampa Him and michael tunnell and I have been in several long conversations after Like twill or or destination linux. Um, but they've been really encouraged me to engage And um, I do really enjoy like everyone has said it's very inclusive You don't feel like because you're not a developer.

I'm from Indonesia I can speak english and indonesian of course And I am fedora Okay, so my story with fedora Starts and I can say it's not starting from fedora exactly. I started Or I can say I restarted my linux journey In 2020 when the pandemic hits and I need reliability with my hardware so um The one certain proprietary operating operating system that I ran Was crashing my GPU and yeah Yeah, kernel panic happened on that operating system. So I went to Santos um because I saw it Like it's stable And it's based on rel And I know rel is very stable And yeah, I used sentos for a while. I um Like I installed many stuff on it and As you may expect Over time I turned the system into a frankenstein because you know Like a lot of stuff in there are Like quote-unquote obsolete.  Uh I'm just going to do rpm build and yeah, it it works. Uh, yeah, I I did Make to I didn't manage to get pipe wired 0.3 with the audio and video sharing on sentos 8 that's yeah that like I did experiment a lot with sentos and um Like as a desktop user, uh, like not intended maybe as Like as many people use sentos for uh Like for servers and for The enterprise workstations or for enterprise VMs. I used it for desktop and experimentation. I experimented it a lot. I Hey jacked it with if you know it bad rock linux, it's a one method distribution That allows you to mix and match packages from other distributions. And yeah, um At the end of the day system d breaks and I had to install it 32 bit first you know system d to make my system boot again, so yeah Like I managed to break system d on that system. So uh, like I caved in and I realized I need to use something that updates often so so Yeah, I went to fedora in february 2021 uh, and I've been loving it ever since I started with fedora territory workstation with gnome and uh, I jumped to the 34 beta and Yeah, now with fedora 34 and looking forward to Use the future versions of fedora. Um, and My involvement in fedora well I can say I'm not really I'm not I'm just An outsider I'm I observe from the outside. Uh, I managed Some copper packages. Uh, if you happen to know, uh, some kernels, uh Like kernels and one I I I used it on my previous Ubuntu install and I think oh this should be ported into fedora. So I started a copper repository I set it up, uh, like with integrations and stuff and I built it and I built all the variants of it. I built the like six variants and Yeah, it's fedora is a really good, uh, like As a whole, uh fedora It's a really good learning experience And it's not just the distro. It's it's the community too. Uh, I'm I'm I'm somewhat active in the fedora Linux discord, uh I assist people and yeah, they are very friendly Uh There are some laughs too. There are some discussions That's You know fedora as a community is great And other than that I really love fedora for its openness and transparency Because the infrastructure on fedora is openly big And you can see everything like koji builds body or like others like The sources and everything Yeah, it's it's been really great to Be inside the fedora community Uh, a bit. I don't Really I'm not a contributor of the Project. Yeah, I've been really loving it And that's my story. Thanks. I'm sorry for making it too long perhaps I think we don't have more time now.

Oscar winners who don't speak out on Gaza this weekend will be complicit in genocide. Notes from the edge of the narrative matrix. Ralph Nader has an article out arguing that the real death count from Israel's onslaught in Gaza is probably at least 200,000. This could very well be true. It is definitely suspect how the official death count has been hovering around 30,000 for weeks while we know people are being deliberately starved at an incredibly fast pace and the massacres haven't stopped. We've seen severe death count lags before in places like Yemen where in 2017 the media stopped counting at 10,000 deaths and just kept repeating that number for ages. Every Hollywood celebrity who fails to speak out against the US-backed genocide in Gaza at the Oscars this Sunday is complicit in that genocide. If you're given a major platform and your government is committing genocide you are morally obligated to use that platform to condemn your government's actions. I always get Israel supporters in my comments going, if you think what Aaron Bushnell did is so great then why don't you do it too? I am not brave enough or selfless enough to follow Aaron Bushnell's example. No one is.  It was a superhuman act of protest. Shallow, vapid people are incapable of understanding and appreciating what Aaron Bushnell did. They've no internal framework for it. When they dismiss him or disparage his motives they're just telling you there's not much to them as people. They're asleep at the wheel of life. A political party which views opposing and active genocide as a fringe extremist position is not a political party that should continue to exist. After seeing how horrifyingly murderous and reckless this Democrat president has turned out to be I hope U.S. leftists have fully let go of all the guilt liberals tried to heap on them for not rallying behind the Democrat in 2016. It was all a lie. They're as bad as Republicans. Over and over again you see people enter western mainstream political parties with the stated goal of changing them from the inside but instead it changes them. They think the problem is that the party just doesn't have enough nice people in it but it turns out trying to change a mainstream political party in the western empire by putting nice people in it is like trying to change an abusive cult by putting nice people in it. The cult doesn't change. The people who go in just get indoctrinated. The cult isn't bad because there aren't enough nice cult members. The cult is bad because its entire purpose, function and founding doctrine is bad. A mainstream political party in the imperial core exists solely to promote the interests of the empire. Everything in it is geared toward this purpose. That is its nature. If you join it, you either embrace its doctrines and help it act out its foundational purpose or you get kicked out of the cult. You cannot change it. It can only change you. How many times does this have to happen before people learn the lesson? The western-backed genocide in Gaza should be showing everyone that western governments don't make the odd looking foreign policy decisions they make because they understand foreign policy better than ordinary people. They make those decisions because they are corrupt and evil. That's always been the case. It's just far more obvious now. You can see just by looking at how universal support for Israel is among U.S. officials and lawmakers compared to the general public that any random schmo off the street is more likely to make correct and moral foreign policy decisions on behalf of these governments than the empire managers in charge. And that's why real democracy is continually subverted in those nations. If the people were actually in charge of the foreign policy decisions made within the imperial core, the empire would no longer be inflicting the violence and tyranny necessary for its continued existence. A whole media industry is sprouting up around mainstream journalists just reading the gray zone and presenting its findings as their own original reporting because the gray zone is considered naughty enough to steal from. At this point I just automatically assume that any Israel supporter who interacts with me is acting in bad faith, partly because it's been my consistent experience with them and partly because in order to still support Israel in March of 2024, you have to be a bit sociopathic.  It's the exact same logic, but it's okay when they do it. After watching a pro-Palestine activist go off the deep end recently, I think it's probably a good idea to issue a few basic reminders to anyone who's speaking out about this issue. Don't deny the Holocaust unless you want to help delegitimize the pro-Palestine movement. Don't try to make Israeli atrocities about Judaism or Jewishness unless you want to help delegitimize the pro-Palestine movement. Don't conflate Jews as a global collective with a murderous apartheid state unless you want to help delegitimize the pro-Palestine movement. Don't say Jews rule the world unless you want to help delegitimize the pro-Palestine movement. It's not hard to make these distinctions and the overwhelming majority of pro-Palestine voices have no difficulty in doing so. It's also not hard to see what messages Israel apologists will forcefully amplify as evidence that the entire pro-Palestine movement is anti-Semitic and that everyone needs to shift the focus from stopping an active genocide to fighting an imaginary anti-Semitism crisis. This isn't about Jews. It's about settler colonialism and the geostrategic objectives of the Western Empire, both of which we've seen manifest in countless examples that have nothing to do with Jewish people. Zionism is just one belief system the Empire managers will utilize to advance their agendas of planetary hegemony just as they deal with Christian fundamentalism, Islamophobia, humanitarianism, conservatism, progressivism, and in any other world view that can be exploited to their advantage.  Don't let your support for the Palestinians turn you into a tool of the Empire.  Please and thank you.


Welcome to the World Summit on the Information Society 2016 in Geneva, Switzerland. And I'm delighted to be joined by Ahmed Bidi Badi, founder of the data processing company of Iran. I understand you pioneered internet connectivity in Iran and that you're now very heavily involved in broadband connectivity. Yes, exactly. One of the main issue of right now in every country is to expand the broadband. So we are involved to building the infrastructure and bringing broadband to all cities, also through the rural area. Because this is actually a very important issue in order that you can bring e-services on the top of that. And about a year and a half ago we brought the 3G and 4G operator coming and the gross has been good. So we have about 15.5 million using mobile broadband and almost 8.5 million fixed broadband. So this number is going to be doubled in next two years. So you can see the gross will be very high. And right now the government also has the policy subcontracting private companies such as us and other company to lay down the optical fiber. Actually our company is involved in laying down the optical fiber which is needed for the broadband. So it's a mass explosion of broadband but of course Iran is a massive country. So there must be challenges in getting connectivity to some of the more rural areas. Yes. As you mentioned one of the challenges was the sanction. Now the sanction has been lifted out so life becoming a little bit easier. Many European companies are coming so that makes expansion of the broadband much faster and cheaper because before you have to do it through a third party so it makes it expensive and you need more budget. So this was one of the challenges. Second challenge is digital literacy which we are in country. Of course since we have over 50% of our population are young they're picking up very fast. But still by educating people they use in proper way the broadband especially social networking. You can't believe in Iran the social networking is growing very fast and everybody using. I don't know if you have they're using a telegram. Telegram is a Russian social networking. 80% of their user is in Iran. So many people use even in rural area to exchange idea to get there to share these things. Because of the broadband is expanding like other services like e-education, e-learning lots of e-learning platform is coming up. Even ourself we have developed a platform called Ribut for e-learning that all people can within the country access remotely and take a university course and other courses require. And that's the advantage in Iran because you've got such a highly educated population and young people that you have potentially got all of these ICT engineers and experts who are home grown. Exactly this is one of our advantage as far as the human resources is very good. We had about four and a half million you know graduates in every year you know. So all universities in different cities within the Iran and in the ICT also we have very good number of graduate students so that they help us to grow faster and do things in a better way. Startup is growing. As the broadband is growing from the last two years start up are growing new ideas growing young people understand that they can make good things with good idea even they can make good money if they are after the money. So is wondering that from the last two years many start up has grown and even foreign company have came recently they are investing and they are getting their share and they are paying a good amount of money to them because they have done great job. So this is one of the advantage we have in our country because they found Iranian has a good talent you know so they are using these human resources which you need for developing different e-services and application and mobile app. You know you can believe lots of mobile app is developing in Iran even it's been used outside of Iran but it's developing you know because of the human sources you have available in the country. So here at WISIS you can obviously exchange a lot of good practice from Iran. What have you actually learnt from other countries here about their success stories? Yes this is my six years actually coming to the WISIS and during these six years I have learned a lot of experiences sharing idea actually sharing our success story at the same time sharing other success stories that we have used and we try to even partner together to implement some of the idea they already implemented and they have been successful full story about it and we did. For example yesterday we have some idea with some African people about e-agriculture they have some solution which have been implemented and we are going to really partner together and to have a start up in our country to implement it in the e-agriculture which is one of the things is really needed especially for rural area farmer e-commerce is growing you know people are now because of the broadband and mobile penetration using you know online to buy you know the goods so before the last two years this facility was not available but as broadband is growing these e-services is coming. Ahmed Bidebadi founder of the data processing company of Iran thank you very much for joining us. Thank you for giving this opportunity to me and please do join us on the ITU YouTube channel where you can see many interviews with the experts here at the WISIS Forum 2016.
