Going back to procrastination. You know what you need to do. If you really just are organized and create a schedule for yourself throughout the day, it's going to help you reach those steps into not procrastinating. So I feel like if you find lack of motivation, if you're lacking the motivation to do whatever you're really passionate about, you have to set the small goals so that way you can clearly see the results. Like if you're not going back to Cody's weight loss thing. If you're not seeing results, people get frustrated and throw in the towel. So just like phone calling or setting appointments for insurance agents or whatnot. If you're not seeing the results of the appointments, you get frustrated and you don't want to do it. Take a deep breath. Don't get frustrated. Know how many people you're supposed to call in a day to get you to where you want to be. Know your numbers. Know whatever it is you need to know. That's why we break stuff down now. That's exactly why you break stuff down. 100%


The First Item of Business is general questions, and we start with question number 1, Claudia Beamish. To ask the Scottish Government what its strategy is for tackling mental health issues in rural areas. Minister Clare Haughey. Through the Mental Health Strategy 2017 to 2027, Action 12 outlines our commitment to supporting the development of the national rural mental health forum. The forum was established 2017, ac ar netoedd ac i gyffrous, erbyn y byddwyr fathuol yn y ffrins. The Forum develops connections between communities across rural Scotland to reflect the unique challenges that are presented by rural isolation. Membership has grown from 16 to over 60 organisations with the Forum meeting quarterly to discuss outcomes such as how people in rural communities can overcome barriers to accessing and seeking mental health support. Claudia Beamish I thank the minister for that encouraging answer. I welcome action point 12. The forum's membership is indeed evidence of demand and need and is making a real difference in tackling mental ill health in the unique context of rural Scotland, where deprivation is hidden and around 1 million Scots live. I held an event for local employers recently in my region to highlight the support and help that the forum can give. Will the minister continue to work with the forum throughout the lifetime of this Government's mental health strategy? Government funding for the forum covers the financial year 2018-19, and the 2019-20 spending review process is on-going. I recognise the work of the forum under the chair of Jim Hulme. I think that they have done some fantastic work, and they are now the national network for driving change, really. Liam McArthur The minister will be aware of the closure of two wards at the Royal Cornhill hospital in Aberdeenshire. This is giving rise to concerns in my constituency about the capacities for dealing with patients for Orkney. Would she be able to investigate those concerns and provide some reassurances that there will indeed be the capacity to meet the needs of patients from the island? I would like to assure the member that, certainly, the Scottish Government is aware of the ward closures and is working closely with NHS Grampian to ensure that there is capacity. However, if he would like to write to me with the specific concerns, I would certainly be able to look into that and come back to him. Annie Wells Thank you. Levels of depression in the agricultural sector are thought to be increasing and suicide rates in farmers are among the highest in any occupational group. It is understood that one agricultural worker a week takes their own life in the UK. What support is being offered to farmers and agricultural workers specifically when it comes to rural mental health? I have already answered my previous question to Claudia Beamish. There is the National Rural Mental Health Forum, which is certainly doing a lot of work with farmers and the farming community. I would expect that that work will continue. We have the National Suicide Prevention Action Plan, which will look at suicide prevention measures across the country, and it will also be looking at specific occupations and reviewing suicides to see if there are lessons that we can learn there to prevent further suicides. People in rural and urban areas in my region increasingly tell me that they can only access services when they are in desperation and when they are really in a crisis. What does the minister advise me to tell people who come to me to seek help but cannot get it? The Government prioritises mental health. That is evidenced by the increased spending over the past few years. We have spent £1 billion in mental health in 2017-18. I would encourage anyone who is in mental health crisis to approach their primary care team and to seek help there. There are also online telephone services that people in crisis can use via NHS 24 and breathing space. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on what action it is taking to tackle sectarianism. Cabinet Secretary, Humza Yousaf? We continue to work towards sectarian free Scotland by supporting a wide range of activity in formal and informal settings. That includes supporting work for organisations like Nill-by-Mouth, which is sent over sectarianism and supports us direct Scotland. The delivery of Scotland's first national education resource for tackling sectarianism, which is freely available to all, builds on a record investment of £13.5 million over the past six years, which has supported 120 projects to deliver anti-sectarian education and activity across Scotland. We continue to see a positive impact in the communities that are benefiting from this work. Cabinet Secretary, we may be aware that, on Tuesday evening last week, I convened the first meeting of the cross-party group on combating sectarianism in Scottish society. It was great to be joined by a number of fellow MSPs from the SNP, Scottish Conservatives and the Greens. As well as external members like the Church of Scotland, Nill-by-Mouth, Scottish Women's Convention, Western Scotland Regional Equality Council and others. I am encouraged by the work of the Scottish Government in addressing sectarianism and welcome last week's publication of the final report on the legal definition of sectarianism. Cabinet Secretary, I agree that the only way that we will finally end sectarianism is as a society working together and will he commit to working with the cross-party group in the future? Yes, I will, of course, commit to working with the CPG in the future. Can I just take a moment to put on record the outstanding work that James Dornan has personally done in relation to tackling sectarianism? He has taken, for any of us that are on social media, if nothing else, a huge amount of personal abuse for doing so, for standing up to sectarianism in Scotland. He should be commended for that and he has done that and dealt with it with huge amounts of dignity as well. I am really pleased that he has convened that cross-party group. I am pleased to see that there is a cross-party consensus that we have to tackle that problem and, hopefully, James Dornan and the group will get to the point of how he is best to tackle that problem. We of the Government will work closely with him on that. We are, of course, working on legislation on hate crime that will look at whether or not to bring forward a statutory aggravator on sectarian prejudice. We will keep an open mind to that as the consultation is currently under way. However, wherever we can assist in relation to the law, but as he rightly points out in terms of education, I will be willing to look at any good ideas that come forward from the CPG or, indeed, from across the chamber. To ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to improve access to air transport for disabled people who wish to travel to and from island communities. We continue to make airports across the Highlands and Islands accessible to people with reduced mobility through our subsidy of Highlands and Islands airports limited. Hial and its airline customers provide services and equipment to enable people with reduced mobility to access air services. Hial continually reviews its service provision to ensure that barriers to travel for people with reduced mobility are removed as far as possible. I thank you for that answer and draw his attention to the case of Fiona McKinnon, a resident of Tyree, who suffers from two serious health conditions, one of which requires her to fly to Glasgow to attend regular appointments at the Beatson. Due to her fluctuating weight, which comes as a result of her medication, she is sometimes deemed ineligible to fly. What action can the cabinet secretary take to ensure that Fiona McKinnon can travel with dignity and to ensure that others in her situation can do so too? I understand that Hial has been engaged in this particular issue and with this particular individual in making flights to Glasgow. The most up-to-date information that I have regarding this particular issue is that the matter has been resolved by Hial and the equipment that it has in Tyree to help to support those women to make access to air services as and when is necessary. However, if the member would find it helpful and more than happy for Hial to contact him to provide further details on that to give assurances to his constituent on this matter. 4. Mark Griffin To ask the Scottish Government whether it will rule out the delivery of personal independence payments and disability living allowance by the DWP under agency arrangements. Cabinet secretary, Shirley-Anne Somerville. People who rely on disability benefits have consistently told us that what matters most to them is that they are paid the right amount of money on time. The most important consideration will be to ensure a safe and secure transition of those benefits from the DWP. The timetable and delivery schedule for disability benefits will be announced in the next year. Mark Griffin I note the cabinet secretary's answer and reminder that disabled people are desperately keen to know how and when their benefits will be fully delivered by Scotland's new social security system. They want an end to the DWP's entire involvement in their disability benefits. For carers, the Government has agreed that the DWP should continue to deliver in carers allowance for the next two years, with no changes to earner thresholds or study restrictions and payments and debts collected under Tory rules. I do not think that that would be acceptable for disability benefits. Can the cabinet secretary confirm today that there will be no DWP involvement in disability benefits? I appreciate Mark Griffin's challenge to the Government to do more and to do it faster. That is certainly something that I myself, as the cabinet secretary, bear very much in mind when I work through the programme for this. I am also conscious that members quite rightly tell the Government to learn lessons from past public sector programmes where we have taken things, particularly around universal credit, the UK Government has taken things in an ill-advised fashion and at not the correct speed. I am conscious that we do, when we are delivering this programme, which is a joint programme with the DWP, have to have a realistic timetable and delivery mechanisms in place, and they will be announced next year, as I said. The pace will be quick around this. The Social Security Act was only passed earlier this year, and the overriding priority must and always will be safe and secure transition. The member raised carers allowance supplement and the decisions that we have taken around that. That was specifically done to ensure that we got money directly into the carers. We have the lowest income to ensure that that money was given to them quickly. That is the first step on a journey for the Scottish Government looking at carers and looking very seriously at issues in the future. Stuart Stevenson Can the Government confirm that the SNP Government, who will maintain disability benefits, not cut them, will ensure that they remain universal, not means tested, will reform the disability benefit assessment process to ensure that they work for service users and that disability assessments will be carried out by the public sector in Social Security Scotland? The member is quite right to point to all those commitments that the Government has made. We are committed to maintaining the level of disability benefits paid to individuals, and he did to raise them annually by at least the rate of inflation. Protecting disability assistance also by ensuring that benefits continue to be non-means tested. We are involving people who receive those benefits in the design of our disability benefit system process, and that is why I know that they want to ensure that the assessments are undertaken in-house by the Social Security Agency, ensuring that the DWP and private sector agencies will no longer be involved in the assessment process. To ask the Scottish Government when the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport last met the chief executive and chair of NHS Lanarkshire and what was discussed. Both ministers and Scottish Government officials meet regularly with the leadership of all our NHS boards, including NHS Lanarkshire, to discuss a range of matters. I chaired NHS Lanarkshire's annual review at the University Hospital in Heimars on Friday 2 November and went through a number of matters with both the chair and chief exec at that time. Monica Lennon. I thank the cabinet secretary for her reply. Cole-Thompson from East Kilbride is six years old. His mum, Lisa Quarrow, is desperately trying to find a cure for the crippling epileptic seizures that leave Cole, paralyzed and unable to speak. So far, Cole has not been prescribed the medicinal cannabis that could greatly help his condition. Cole has touched the heart of thousands of people already and a petition led by East Kilbride community trust is pushing for urgent action. Time is not on Cole's side. Will the cabinet secretary do everything that she can to ensure that Cole gets the medicine that he needs? I am grateful to Ms Lennon for her supplementary question and I absolutely understand the issues that she is raising and the distress and upset that is caused to the family. The issue around the prescribing of medicinal cannabis is, of course, rests on the regulatory changes from the UK Government. They came into effect on 1 November and we issued guidance to our health boards and practitioners very quickly at that time. I am happy to look further at this case and to speak with the member concerned around the particular questions that it raises and to see what further we can do as a Scottish Government and as a health service to assist in this matter. Richard Lyle Thank you, Presiding Officer. In your discussions with NHS Lanarkshire Cabinet Secretary, can I welcome your decision to review the proposed new Munklands hospital consultation resites? Can you advise the chamber when and how long the review will take? I am grateful for that supplementary question and, indeed, for the support for the decision that I took to review the process of identifying the options that should be consulted on. It is important that I make clear to the chamber that I have expressed absolutely no opinion on the location. I have made it clear to the board and I hope to the residents of the area concerned that this Government supports a replacement for the current Munklands hospital. The issue that is being reviewed is the manner in which the choices of alternative locations are reached, the manner in which those choices are taken and the manner in which the consultation is held in order to ensure that the maximum number of voices are heard before the board reaches a view on the recommendations that it wishes to make to me for my decision. That review, we are finalising now the specific terms of that and who will lead it. I hope to be able to announce that very shortly. The review that I expect to take a relatively short period of time, because that is what it is looking at. I am very conscious that we and indeed the board, and I am sure that the residents of the area want to move relatively quickly here to reach a fully informed and genuinely considered and publicly consulted view on where should be the best location the recommendations made to me for the best location for the new replacement hospital for Munklands. I will announce that shortly in terms of the review's personnel, its remit and its timetable. Brian Whittle In NHS Lanarkshire, the absenteeism rate has climbed for the fourth year in a row from 4.7 per cent to 5.7 per cent against the Scottish Government target of 4 per cent, a target that the SNP has never achieved. Arising workload due to staff shortages plays a huge part in this. The cabinet secretary recently announced an extra 2,600 nus in midwifery places, which, although very welcome, does not even cover the posts that are currently vacant. Does the cabinet secretary recognise that the workforce planning still falls short of what our NHS requires? For the eighth year in a row, I announced very recently an increase in nus in midwifery places. I also announced the continuation of the Return to Practice programme, which is a very successful programme for nurses returning to practice after some absence, and an increase in the pre-registration work that Open University Scotland undertakes, again another very successful programme. We are working in terms of nus and midwifery places to ensure that we are maintaining the increase in recruitment that is absolutely necessary. We are doing exactly the same thing in terms of medical undergraduates, looking at advanced allied health professions and a really important area of work. We are looking to ensure that we are recruiting and training in a range of different ways in order to widen access across all those professions. Our workforce plan is one that is based on the best evidence that we have available. It is a plan that continues to be refined as that evidence improves. Our safe staffing bill, which is currently the subject of discussion here in this Parliament, is about to get to its stage 1 decision making. It will assist us in providing further robust evidence in terms of our workforce planning. I do not accept Mr Whittle's assertion, and I would make the point that it is this Government in this country that has the most advanced workforce planning across the UK, and perhaps it could take some lessons on how we are doing matters further south. Tom Mason To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the reports that, in 13 locations in Aberdeen, have illegal levels of nitrogen dioxide pollution. Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Aberdeen City Council has produced an action plan containing a number of measures to improve air quality. The Scottish Government is working closely with the council as it implements the measures contained in the plan and is providing practical and financial assistance to both monitor air quality and support delivery of measures. As announced in the 2017-18 programme for government, the council will establish a low-emission zone in Aberdeen by 2020. Tom Mason I thank the cabinet secretary for that response. I remind colleagues that I am an Aberdeen city councillor. I know that the cabinet secretary will be as wired as I am at the reports in the present journal given the potential deadly consequences of this level of pollution, which in some areas is as high as 48 microgramms of gas per cubic metre, well above the E8QD limit of 40. According to research by the British Lung Foundation, one of the worst-effective streets in the city of King Street is home to the Aberdeen community health and care village, forcing patients to breathe this toxic air on the way to receive medical treatment. Can I ask therefore what consideration the Scottish Government has given either itself or through SEPA to making additional support available to local authorities so that it can take action against this now rather than simply waiting for the low-emission zone in 2020? The cabinet secretary indicated that the Government is already discussing with the local authority and has provided funding over a number of years to do the kind of work that is necessary. I agree with the member that when we see results like this, it is a real concern. There are definitely, particularly in urban areas, a number of very particular hotspots that create some significant difficulties. Work is on going with Aberdeen, and there are a number of things being taken to improve air quality. I indicated the air quality report already. We know that the AWPR will make a significant difference to air quality in Aberdeen, and there is a further citywide traffic count being proposed following the opening of the AWPR. There is work going on. Of course, there is an independently layered review of the Clean Air for Scotland that I have only just announced, which will be taking place. I hope for input from all to that, but equally we keep an eye on some of the specific problems and, as I indicated, speak directly to local councils about that.


So we're just outside the Prime Minister's office. We have the Kinder Morgan Pipeline Evidence Unit here. Tested Hero keeps telling us the science is clear. Kinder Morgan is good for the climate. It's good for coastal protection. And it's good for BC Indigenous Peoples. What the fact is is that we haven't seen any of that physical evidence. He has not shown us any of that. So we're here looking for it. Here today as a member of the Pipeline Evidence Unit, we've been called to search the premises for the science that Tudou claims exists. We're looking for proof that the Pipeline doesn't violate Indigenous rights so far. Nothing. We've found no science. All the evidence that says, actually the opposite is true, that this will violate the rights of Indigenous people, that the BC Coast will be put at heightened risk, and that it will make sure that Canada cannot meet its climate commitments. Unburnt methane.  Rabbit's out of his hat, man. There's nothing here. Nothing. We're doing this today. Days before on the BC Coast, Indigenous people, spiritual leaders and youth are standing in a historic stand for Protect the Inlet. You can find out more at Protect the Inlet. Big idea to help. This Pipeline is trying to come through.


So can you please tell us your name and where you're from? My name is Mary Gervais, and I'm from Federal Way Washington. And Mary, can you tell us the testimony that you have to share with us today, beginning with the problem that you're facing and how God brought restoration in your life? Well, I was basically dead in every way, physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially.  I didn't believe that I would ever live. But I had a son who I was trying to save, so I brought him here. And as I prayed for my son, he raised my hand. I was baptized.  And God has filled me with faith and joy and purpose. He's created life in me, showed me that I'm loved. And I just love the Lord so much. And Mary, can you tell us, we know that you came here to the Anointing Water Purline about two years ago, maybe a little bit more than that. What was the problem that you're facing? And can you explain for us a little bit of the details of how God brought restoration into your life? One of the things, besides my son and some of the things that he was going through, I have an older son who I had no relationship with, his wife. I have no relationship with my grandkids. I had no relationship with. They lived an hour away from me, and I never saw them. And I had just been told the day or maybe two days before I came here with John, I was bringing John, and that they were leaving the country to go to Panama. And I had understood that they were only going to be gone for three months. I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to them. And he told me on the phone that they were going to be gone for a year. They were actually gone for 18 months, at which time he got deathly ill. And he ended up with pneumonia by the time he got here. When I saw him, he was so sick, I just wept. But the day that I had come here, two days after I had learned that he was leaving, C.S. Uptigrove was here. And C.S. Uptigrove was calling on people for healing that had knees and backs and headaches and all these things. And I'd been already cured.  I had ligaments in my knee that I had not been able to walk or run be healed. I had all these healings. And the only thing that was left was I had a ringing in my right ear. And he called out, is there anybody here that has something going on with their right ear? And I'm just like, the only person, that's the only thing I had left. I'm like, I raised my hand. And as it wasn't about my ear, it was about the prophecy he gave me that he said, both my sons were coming home. My son that was sick would be well. And my son who was leaving for Panama would come home. And I stood on that promise because C.S. Uptigrove is a man of God and I believed in his prophecy. And I didn't panic. I didn't feel like I needed to worry. Even when he looked like he was going to die, I believed God's word. I stood on it. And I said, I am not taking him back. I gave his care to you, Lord, and I believe in you. And you are going to heal him. You're going to bring him back. And he did. He's wonderful now. We have Bible studies together. I see my grandkids. And God has worked such miracles in our life, in my life, and without me even realizing it. I look backwards and I think, wow, he's changed everything ever since I went under the water and came back. It was from death to life. Amen. Let's put our hands together for Jesus.  And God has done an amazing work in John's life. He's doing so great.  And now he is completely restored, as I talked with Mary earlier. And now they're going to do youth ministry work, moving to Colorado. And it's just so wonderful to hear how God has restored relationship between your older son now. And this is the power of God, you guys. This is what God can do. He is in the business of restoring lives and restoring families. And God can do the same for you. Amen. So Mary, now that you're here, what can you tell other people who might have similar family problems? What can you say to them? You need to know that God loves you first. He loves your family, and He loves your children more than you do. And you need to stand on that. You need to stand in faith in the knowledge that God loves you. And it's a love that transcends everything and believe in it. Amen. Let's put our hands together for Jesus. Thank you so much, Mary.


Hello and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. Question says, suppose you drop a dice at random on the rectangular region shown in figure 15.6. What is the probability that it will land inside the circle with diameter 1 meters? This is the given figure 15.6. First of all, let us understand that probability of occurrence of an event e denoted by Pe is defined as number of outcomes favourable to e upon total number of possible outcomes. Also, area of rectangle is equal to length multiplied by breadth. So we can write area of rectangle is equal to l into b where l is the length and b is the breadth. Also, area of circle is equal to pi r square where r is the radius of the circle. Now, we will use these expressions as our key idea to solve the given question. Let us now start with the solution. First of all, let us find out area of this given rectangle. We know length of rectangle that is l is equal to 3 meters and breadth of rectangle that is b is equal to 2 meters. Now, area of rectangle is equal to l into b that is length multiplied by breadth. Now, substituting corresponding values of l and b in this expression we get 3 multiplied by 2 meter square is equal to area of rectangle which is further equal to 6 meter square. So we get area of given rectangle is equal to 6 meter square. Now, we will find out area of this circle. We know diameter of this given circle is equal to 1 meters. Now, radius that is r is equal to 1 upon 2 meters. We know radius is equal to half of diameter. So, here r is equal to 1 upon 2 meters. Now, from key idea we know area of circle is equal to pi r square where r is the radius of the circle. Now, we will substitute 1 upon 2 for r in this expression and we get pi multiplied by square of 1 upon 2 meter square is equal to area of circle. Now, this is further equal to pi upon 4 meter square. Now, we have to find the probability that dice will land inside this circle. Now, we know dice can fall anywhere in this rectangular region. So, in this case total possible outcomes is equal to area of rectangular region which is further equal to 6 meter square. Now, favorable outcomes of dice to land inside this circle is equal to area of the circle. So, we can write total favorable outcomes of dice to land inside the circle is equal to area of circle which is further equal to pi upon 4 meter square. Now, from key idea we know probability of an event E is equal to number of outcomes favorable to E upon total number of possible outcomes. So, we get probability of dice to land inside the circle is equal to total area of the circle upon area of the rectangle. We know area of the circle is equal to pi upon 4 and area of the rectangle is equal to 6. Now, this is further equal to pi upon 24. Units of these two areas will get cancelled and we get probability of dice to land inside the circle is equal to pi upon 24. So, this is our required answer. This completes the session. Hope you understood the solution. Take care and have a nice day.


Welcome to the Cube's coverage of KubeCon EU 2024, live from Paris, France. Join hosts Savannah Peterson, Dustin Kirkland, and Rob Stratche as they interview some of the brightest minds in cloud-native computing. Coverage of KubeCon cloud-native con is brought to you by Red Hat, CNCF, and its ecosystem partners. The Cube's coverage of KubeCon EU 2024 begins right now. Being cloud-native fam and welcome back to KubeCon cloud-native con, we're here in the fabulous city of Paris. My name is Savannah Peterson. I'm joined by my two absolute rock star analysts, Dustin and Rob. Thank you both for being here with me all week and for hanging out. I'm loving it. I mean, I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd want to be. No, Paris, cloud-native, Kubernetes. I'm going to echo that. Springtime. Yeah, springtime. It's blooming, everything's in bloom.  Never. Never. Never. Oh, things I'm not going to say live on television. Let's get your hot take from the day. You've been busy today, Dustin. Yeah, it's been a busy day. Finally, I got my security fix, though. We talked to a number of different really interesting security guests here. Really wasn't much of a topic yesterday. I agree. But today, I think we heard a lot of things, and I think the interest is here. And there's a follow-up conference coming up in June, the security con. Security con. Security con. Yeah. Yeah, I think it was. And I think I got my fix from my little bit of whining at the end of the day. Yesterday on Kubevert, yeah, we Kubeverted today. We saw VMs on Kubernetes coming together in harmony with containers. And I think that it makes too much sense for that to not happen over time, where things come together. And certain, especially, where certain things are just going to live better in a VM than they are in a container. If they have not been written for a container. So I liked this. And I think, again, I got my fill on that and a lot with the developers and how we're bringing things together from the start with security as well in mind. So that's been fun today. Yeah, it's been a really great day. We had awesome guests. We had a lot of fun energy. I got to interview Neil Creswell, the person who's the reason I'm here. So I feel like it's been a really special day. I feel like one of the other things that really strikes me, and we always talk about this when we come to the show, is the sense of community. It feels so inclusive. I mean, even at dinner last night, we were chatting how CNCF wouldn't go to a city where diversity wasn't celebrated. And you can tell, this whole fam is very much inclusive and here to help people learn and teach them things. And also, she'll some pretty great swag. What? Yeah, as you all know, this is one of our favorite segments on theCUBE. And it started at KubeCon Detroit. This community loves their swag, loves their stickers. We've had some deliveries. I even had some swag mailed to me in advance of the show. I'm gonna start off with, ooh, I've got so many fun things. Okay, so it's hard to stand out in T-shirt land, I think, and we've talked about this a lot. So many people just take the easy way out, just put their logo on the front. It's so boring. We've got two contestants today that are quite fun. So I'm enjoying this one. If you don't like guac, I'm not show type. Pretty nice. Pretty clever. The crew over there told me that they had little avocados as well, but they went so fast that there was none left. Actually, something I noted when I was going and talking to different vendors was how packed the booths have been. Oh, yeah. Our friends at Minayo have already scanned over 1,300 badges. That's 10% of the conference. I mean, that's wild when you think about foot traffic. Yeah, booth traffic has been, yeah. It's amazing. Impressive. It's vibing, you know, it's definitely vibing. I also really like this one because we were talking about developer productivity and how developers only get 37% of their time to be creative, to code, according to some wonderful survey data. So this one from Mia Platform is coding as an art, which it is. And I think we don't... Relate to that. Yeah, and I think even, you know, referring to developers as creatives isn't something we do enough because it requires a lot of creativity. It's an old but great book by Paul Graham called Hackers and Painters, fantastic collection of essays, but certainly makes the case that there is an art to development. And so this little bit stopped me in my tracks. Check it out, y'all. From usage AI, this is to represent the savings, the 57% savings. But I gotta say, walking by their booth and seeing a wad of cash immediately got my attention. And I like that it's clever. I think it's really fun. They've customized it. It's just a very thoughtful presentation and bonus points to them for also giving me the whole stack. Please tell me you're going to try to carry this onto the plane. I definitely want to see that stuffed out in here. They obviously got it here. So maybe they... Are you going to make it rain? We might have to do a little... Oh, that's how we're going to close. Yeah, yeah. All right, we'll save it. So yeah, we'll save it. No, but I did think that was very fun. I also am really passionate, and we've talked about this a lot, when companies customize their swag to the location that we're in. And I think that not enough companies do that. Actually, even with these folks, they mentioned that they focus on sustainability. Their vendor is sustainable. The, literally, the fabric here is made sustainably. So I think that's continuing the thing that we were talking about. NetApp really went for it. I was pumped by that, but we've got some Herbs de Provence here, actually inside. Very nice. Very French. Smells really nice too, give it a smell. And then they also, NetApp also did something awesome that I enjoyed. They did a beautiful wine bottle holder. So you just stick it like that, and then you can put your wine in. So what a fun thing. I mean, we were talking about drinking wine here in Paris, and certainly have had some. And I love that this is a nice little, also customized wine rack. It's very cool. And like you said, I think, again, with the logo, really appropriate to France, I think that is, that's good. And something that someone's going to use. It's quality, yeah. It is. It packs well, there's a fitness suitcase. No kidding, I know. I was thinking about that. I mean, the lightsaber is cool and all, but what are you going to do with a six foot lightsaber? Right, and I love the idea of someone having this in their kitchen or somewhere and getting that brand impression every time. I think when you give something functional, you're going to get far more legs out of your swag. I also liked this, speaking of functional, I liked this little multi-tool from Intel. Brilliant. Yeah, super brilliant. There's so many different things going on here. I mean, it's not just, there's a wrench, there's a can opener. We've got multiple, I don't even know, honestly. It looks like Allen wrench stuff. Yeah, it's a whole, it's a whole little shabang. Intel's been doing this for years. I still have a little tool set I got from Intel at a swag show at some point. It's clever. I love it, yeah. It's a super clever little way to do it. Also, to your point, packable, small, easy to play with, easy to have fun. I got to give it a BTSA compliant. I don't know. I think so. I think so. I would imagine they probably thought about it. Yeah, it's under four inches, so it's TSA compliant. This is great. Four inches, is that the, that's the rule? Yeah. Interesting, I didn't know that. Because I had a pair of scissors once in my bag and I forgot about them and they were under and they let me go. You know, four inches acts pretty long. I'm not going to get into a size chat with you, Rob. We don't have any space beavers on the show today. That's tomorrow. Oh boy. I got to give a really great shout out to our friends at Chronosphere. They had the Daft Punk helmet that was our winner from KubeCon in Chicago. But their socks are lovely, but I'm not just showing them because they're their socks. Yesterday they actually made me a custom pocket square. Yes, they did. Out of their sock. Martin, their CEO did it himself. Important CEO tasks. And I was honestly really flattered. And it's the first time I've worn a pocket square. There you go. I didn't want to feel lonely being the only one up here wearing a pocket. No, I know. Well, when we were twinning so well, I think it was really important that we completed the look. And I'm grateful that they went ahead and did that for us. There's usually some fun shades. Akash has these nice red babies and you may have seen me in sunglasses on the cube before in Amsterdam. So I thought these were a fun little addition, but I was not expecting ground covers. Wow. E-glasses.  But it's just kind of fun. I got to try these. Just kind of fun, yeah. I also love when somebody just gives you the necessary snack that you need. And Hetzner did a, these are little gummy bears and it's lit, just like us. We're all lit. Nice. Everybody's lit. There's some fun pins. This is from Digital Ocean, Sammy the shark. Very cute. Very nice. And since, you know, the whole denim jacket covered in pin thing is kind of coming back. I have quite a collection myself. I thought that was nice and not super brandy, which is also good. And oh, I don't know what happened to your paper airplane. Oh, this is awesome. So one of the things that a lot of booths do that I think is smart in terms of their activations is they'll do a book signing. Okay. And sometimes that's tools for developers or adults. In this case, this is an illustrated children's guide to EBPF. This is by the crew over at Isovalent. They had, it was so nice. They had the gentleman who authored it. They're signing the books for everybody. And thank you. Personalized to you? And yeah, personalized to me, which was great.  It's great. We're going to have another children's book on the show, but I'm not going to give any spoilers about what happens tomorrow with Cassandra, but you won't want to miss it folks. It's going to be absolutely great. And then this is from y'all, right? Yeah, chain guard. That's, this one's fun. I love that. Yeah, this is. I pointed out, and I was like, that one is really fun. Yeah, this is super cool. All right, I won't get distracted and start making my airplane right now, but it's a whole little kit. Here, I'll work on it for you. Yeah, yeah, there you go. There you go. Get a little balsa wood airplane, which I think is absolutely adorable.  And I thought that this New Relic little K8s bag, was kind of cute. I might use it for my makeup and stuff for on set. And they've also branded it quite well. I also noticed how many, and I'm sure you saw it, how many booths did you see the Eiffel Tower at? In some capacity. A lot. Yeah, a lot. Yeah, and it's on the CNCF shirt as well this time. Everyone leaning into Paris. I mean, of all the cities to lean into.  This conference is huge. And I think one of the reasons has to be, it's in Paris. I mean, who doesn't want to go to come to Paris in spring, right? Well, I was going to say, we just found out also that 51% of the people here, it's their first coupon. Oh, we did get that data. So, yes, over half, which is crazy. I thought it was around, I'd heard around. It's like 6,000 people. Yeah, over 6,000 people. Because there's 12,000, like around 12,300 people here. Wow. Yeah. That is so cool. I think it's a testament to how cloud native. And in fact, that was part of the discussion, there's so much new blood and so many new people because the developer community coming in to build cloud native apps, it's not just about Kubernetes. It's really about cloud native. It really is. And I think it's cool. How many KubeCons is this for you? Four? Nice. Four of them, I believe. Yeah, that's right. What about you, Dustin? It's about the same. I took a little break there as I went into the financial services FinTech world. That was a small detour. Small detour a couple of years. But yeah, I remember the first one I came to in Berlin, the entire conference fit in a theater, like in a single auditorium. Oh my goodness. A couple hundred people. Yeah, but you really felt something special was happening? I don't think anyone saw this as the eventual outcome. Yeah, I think the evolution has been really impressive and it's just super, it's really exciting.  We've had great guests here all week. I'm really grateful. I gotta take this opportunity. Oops, try and make it rain here on theCUBE and make a mess. Yes, throw it, go for it. Yay! All right, as you can tell, we're falling off the wheels here at the end of day two. Thank you all for tuning in. Dustin and Rob, thank you so much for being here for holding me up and for asking such insightful questions to our guests all week. Thank all of you for tuning in as we have a blast here in Paris at KubeCon, CloudNativeCon. My name's Savannah Peterson. You're watching theCUBE, the leading source and enterprise tech coverage.


The skull is here because he's Yorick and everyone knows my friend Yorick and he is a constant companion in my Shakespeare studies and my Shakespeare teachings He's an old friend of mine. He shows up in class. He's been with me in Shakespeare birthday parties He's been loaned out to students for their Halloween costumes So he and I go way back. You have to laugh at it I think you have to have fun with it or it becomes a dead letter and it's not fun anymore We're trying to make it new try to adapt it try to get people interested And I think eventually Shakespeare will speak for himself. He doesn't need me to defend him or anything like that I think he might need me to just make a few strategic introductions to people who are afraid of Hamlet But if you're afraid of Hamlet, maybe you should start off with Julius Caesar Or Romeo and Juliet If I could have my Shakespeare students or any of my students learn anything out of that Shakespeare class It's that Shakespeare's for everybody That's not a snobby thing and exclusivist thing But he had something to say to everybody because he talked about the human condition so in the Globe theater you had nobles and High mucky mucks and kind of elite Londoners But he also had groundlings working class people who stood because they couldn't afford a seat They're all watching the same place and so I think we need to remember that Shakespeare has something for everybody And it's okay to laugh at him. It's okay to riff on him In fact, I think he would very much get a kick out of that


Minnesota has a full-time Lieutenant Governor once more. Longtime Republican Senator Michelle Fishbach was sworn in Friday morning to join Democratic Governor Mark Dayton's administration. Fishbach was thrust into the job automatically in January when Dayton appointed Tina Smith to the U.S. Senate. But she resisted taking the oath or performing the job's duties for months as she sought to maintain her Senate seat. The governor has called a special election for November to fill the remaining two years of Fishbach's Senate seat.

This symptoms being very painful. I Got to the center about 8 30 the next morning And when immediately to the laboratory where the dog had been courted three microscopes That's right lieutenant three microscopes binocular Dissecting instruments so must have taken a couple of fistfuls of them.

It's a hundred percent fatal Now dr. Kramers, can I have that short? drawing a human nervous system To make a simple point The virus of rabies attacks the nerves Travels them, but it reaches the brain The closer to the brain the bite is the less time it takes for the awful symptoms.

Hi Ami, can you hear me? Hello, can you hear me? So hi everyone, welcome to this session. So it's about a small wiki that will be presented by Ami. Ami is online, so I'm going to have him live now. Great, so a quick test, can anybody hear me? Just let me know if you hear me. Can you hear me? If you can, can we say something? I can hear you, can you hear me? Wait a minute, we cannot get you yet. What can I do? We can get you now. Please say it again. One, two, three, four, five. We can get you perfectly now. Okay, hi, great. Hello, good afternoon, Singapore. I'm talking to you from Providence, Florida. I just moved here a few days ago, so it's the middle of the night here, but I'm really happy to be there. So hi, just some people know me from, you know, I visit some community conferences, and some people don't. So it's part of my style. I love languages, I love language diversity, I love mentioning various languages as I'm speaking, so this is a particular language in which I've been very curious recently. In case you haven't yet figured it out what this text says, you will probably figure it out by the end of the presentation. So my name is Amit, and I've been involved in making the world of Wikimedia more diverse in terms of languages for many years. I've been editing since late 2004. I've been involved in all kinds of language diversity efforts in the language community as part of the Wikimedia Foundation staff, and so on. I'll mention these things briefly, but really this is somewhat some personal talk that I'm going to try to show the history, a brief practical history of how language diversity developed in the Wikimedia world since 2006 or so. Also, even before that, but 2006 is a key year, I'll try to explain why. And how can we make it even better in the future? Because we are far from perfect. We are better than a lot of other web platforms, but we can be much better according to our vision. And let's talk about our vision. You probably know our vision, imagine the world and so on. This vision is never complete. It's by definition incomplete. And the page, if you go to the page on meta.wikimedia.org slash wiki slash vision. That page says that this is an aspiration. It's an ambition. We are not sure who will ever get this, but maybe someday who will get in the world in which every single human being can share the sum of all knowledge. Now, as I said, I care about languages. So to me, logically, every human being means every language. So what can we do about this? Before I really go on, I need to give some disclaimers because they're really important in case, you know, to avoid any misunderstandings. So it's just my thought. It's based on my experience as a person. I'm not representing the wikimedia foundation or the language community, or the ones that pick it up, administrators or like anybody else. This is me based on my experience of talking to many, many people from lots of countries who are interested in wikipedia and to speak various languages. And my understanding, you know, as an editor myself. Another important thing to warn you about is a spoiler. What's the end? It's going to be historical, chronological. But what's the end? I will tell you right away what are the three important things that I'm going to suggest as the important strategic directions for the future. And these three important priorities for language diversity would be number one, making dumplings global and shareable across wikis. I spoke about this topic many times. I'm not going to dive deeply into it, but just so you know, right away, I will mention it towards the end. The second thing is the wiki creation process, which is currently very complicated, but currently creating a wiki in a new language is very complicated. And the third thing is a tool for managing missing content. Now, that may be nothing to clear right now, but I will try to get there and I will try to explain my rationale for all the things that I'm going to propose. Now, this is written in a language that is very personally important for me. It's a language that I learned about when I was five years old, and learning about it really made me fall in love with languages. I've been wanting to be a linguist to do something like that since I was five years old. Thanks to this particular language, if you know what it is, great. If not, I will tell you later. So, let's speak a little bit about the very early history of language diversity in wiki India. And let's start from a concept from sociology. Now, I'm not a real sociologist. I have a few sociologist friends, so they told me about this thing called habitus. And so they heard it. I said, oh my God, this describes wiki mediums really well. We are a community. We are described by certain healths, a certain way in which we see the world. In case you haven't noticed it, the title of the slide, which is written square bracket, square bracket, habitus sociology, white habitus, square bracket, square bracket. If you are an experienced wikipedia listening to this, you probably know that this makes a link to a page called habitus sociology. And the link that will appear is just habitus. If you are not an experienced wikipedia, or if you are experienced wikipedia, but only editors and official editor, then maybe you don't know this. So I explain this. Now, for a lot of experienced wikipedia, this is how they see the world. They see the world basically through wikidex, through the wiki syntax in which articles are written. Another important concept in sociology is community of practice, which is quite related to the habitus. We are used to this. We are used to seeing article histories and versions and all kinds of tools for everything and so on, blocking protection and so on. And I'm going to try to ask this important question. Is this the thing by which we really want to define our community? I mean, it is an important thing, but wikipedia doesn't exist without this. But is this the most important thing by which we want to define ourselves? This practice of writing articles in wikidex or whatever and checking versions and so on. Maybe there is something else that we should be talking about. Maybe we should ask ourselves, what is wikipedia? Because it's actually quite hard to define what it is. You should think about this intuitively when we see a wikipedia in a language. You can see, okay, this is wikipedia. It exists. We obviously know that wikipedia in the English language exists. It has existed for more than 20 years. I know the Hebrew language and I know that the wikipedia in the Hebrew language exists. When I joined the Hebrew wikipedia in 2005, it had about 30,000 articles. And people were saying, you know, I'm actually, earlier, I was not sure that the Hebrew wikipedia actually exists. It existed physically, but it had very few articles and very few people writing it. I wasn't sure that we will ever get a real wikipedia. But now, in 2005, when we have 30,000 articles and when we can have a meetup to which more than 50 people came, we probably have a real encyclopedia, a real functioning website. Now, English and Hebrew are lucky that they have this, somebody which is a less lucky. So I am proud to define wikipedia. This is my suggestion. It's still a very hard definition. But for the purpose of this talk, I'm going to try to define wikipedia as something that meets writers, readers, stockware, current articles, future articles, and policies. Now let's take a look at each of these and you'll see very soon how this all ties back to languages and big languages and small languages and so on. So who are the writers? Who were the writers in the early history of wikipedia before 2006? A lot of these people were really close in one way or another. Not everybody, definitely, but quite a lot of these people were close to the free software world or free content, free licensing world. The world of, if you care about brands like Linux and Firefox and Apache and Pearl and PHP and technologies like that. And wikipedia kind of grew out of that world, at least in part. It was inspired by the world of the software and the concept of free content and free culture existed before wikipedia but wikipedia really made it big. So these were a lot of these people. So they were either from the free content side of things and the free licenses world or they were software developers. Again, not all of them, but quite a lot of them. The few of them were professional design researchers. The whole field of design research was quite young back then, 20 years ago. Not a lot of them were social engineers who understood well what small languages need. But what happened is that a lot of early wikipedia readers they were readers who by the time were bringing you what encyclopedias are and they used encyclopedias in their languages and they could use internet in their languages. So and we are speaking about only the biggest languages. So in 2000, the first Hebrew news website appeared in 2000. Before that, there was almost no content in the Hebrew language online. But again, when Wikipedia appeared, people was maybe usable, began to be usable. Russian was also quite usable. But a lot of languages were not there at all. A lot of languages of the former Soviet Union, for example. I was curious about them. Barely anything online 20 years ago. A lot of languages of India, but barely. So both the readers and the writers, they were quite far from the smaller and less advantageous languages. Now, what about features? What did Wikipedia have in the early days? It was very non-interactive. These days it's relatively more interactive and dynamic. But back then you could read an article, you could edit an article, you could have categories, very important thing. You could have top pages. And again, I'm going back to the sociology aspect of that. That's the habitus. That's how we define it by editing and reading articles. Now, that is a very frequently forgotten part. But some of the larger languages, not all, definitely, but some of the larger languages actually didn't quite everything from scratch. Some of the larger languages copied a lot of articles from other older encyclopedias. It was allowed by the license. It was probably the domain, Britannica or like all editions of Britannica, all editions of some Russian encyclopedias and so on. And they didn't start from complete zebra. There was something they could start from. And there's also their future articles. I checked several languages like that. And all the languages, definitely English, definitely Hebrew, definitely Russian, definitely Polish, they had some plans for the future, like list of articles that we should write. And they had different methods for doing this, but all of them had future articles. Like we're not talking now. We didn't complete the reading now. We need to write more. Which articles we should write? That's a complex question. But they had plans for the future. And they also have policies. Now, there were very few global policies because Wikipedia started just from English, and then the English Wikipedia wrote policies for itself. And then other languages wrote policies for themselves, some of which were similar to English, some of which were different, but essentially none of them were really global. So policies were usually local to each language. And then languages, you know, started coming up already in 2001, Catherine, German, Japanese, Russian, French and so on. And the first time I saw this in 2004, I thought, oh my God, this is cool. And I intentionally made a screenshot with the old monobook skin. That's what I saw. And as a level of languages, I said, hmm, that's a cool website for me to join. And initially I wrote only in English, later I started also writing in Hebrew and Russian, but seeing this, seeing this sort of languages really inspired me. This actually looked really cool. And I noticed like, okay, how did Wikipedia grow to so many languages? Not apparently. Some languages were added initially early because people who speak these languages asked to add them. Catherine, German, Russian, French, Japanese and so on, the famous stories. But then there was a certain point when the maintainers of the servers just added a lot of languages. They took a list of languages and they just read the sites in them. It was well-intentioned, but a lot of these languages never really grew. People didn't come there. Unfortunately, it's sad and we'll get to that a bit later. But that's how a lot of languages initially were created. So the thing is that there was demand by 2006, by 2006, I already was a pretty experienced Wikipedia. And Wikipedia, as you may remember, was growing big time in that year. People start interviewing Europeans and writing articles and newspapers about this wonderful website. And this brings us to 2006. This is a very cool language which I can absolutely not read at all. This is Thai. It has a very curious feature that the whole idea of what are words and sentences and punctuation is completely different from English. It's a nice technical challenge. Think about this a bit. So in 2006, things started to change in some several important ways for language support. First, let's again speak about features. There were a lot of new features coming in because there were a lot of new writers. So people who needed all kinds of tools, protection and division and things like that, built back then, and abuse filter. And all these things needed a lot of new user interface. And user interface, by then, was translated using patches. People had to write code and submit it to a source code repository. And the problem is that source code repositories are for developers, for programmers. They are for translators. Some translators are developers, but not everybody. So this is Jack Ogun, a famous actor. And back in the 90s, he made a very nice ad for Apple Macintosh. And based on that, I like talking about Translate Piki. So Translate Piki is localization in three easy steps. You need an English message and then step two, you translate into your language and step three is that there is no step three. As a translator, with Translate Piki, you didn't need to do anything. You just need to translate and that's it. All the technical work behind the scenes was done almost automatically. And again, we come back to habitus. It was localization in the wiki. So it was really inviting in Wikipedia to contribute translations to the user interface using another wiki. So the translations were deployed very quickly after they were made on Translate Piki. And then we come to okay, so how do we add new languages to the wiki media world? And so initially, apparently, I didn't notice it back then, but initially new languages were added on meta and then somebody voted email. And this is the email. Brian Weber, one of the best known developers of Wikipedia software, he wrote this email, a very short email that he's going to move new languages from meta to the incubator and this is it, this is the whole thing. This is how the incubator started one evening in 2006. And since then we have the incubator working pretty much the same way as it did in 2006. So in case you don't know in the incubator, all the languages are on the same side and every page has this funny code in the title which shows the language code. It's quite inconvenient, nevertheless that's what people use and once a language graduates from the incubator it gets its own domain. Now what does it mean that it graduates? The people who decide about graduation are called the language community. I'm a member of the language community. I was invited there at Kimania in 2010 and the language community as a group of volunteers, they just examine the incubator and the language is real and it has a language code in ISO 639 and it has a certain number of articles and it has a certain number of writers. These numbers are actually not precisely defined but the language community tries to do something sensible then it graduates and becomes a real language becomes a real domain and this brings us to the next part. This is written in a language that is spoken by the Wikimedia over here for this year. So let's see what happened in the next decade. So in the next decade Wikimedia foundation and also Wikimedia Germany started being much more serious about language support and developing it further. So Wikimedia foundation started the language engineering team. I was invited there also some people from some other people from the language community and from across the country were invited to join the team and initially we worked about keyboard support and font support and language selector also improving all kinds of things in the infrastructure of the Media and Wikimedia Internationalization. In 2012 the universal language selector really became a big thing it's a component for selecting a lot of languages from a long list and this also brings us to Wikidata. Now I was not directly involved in developing Wikidata but it's important to mention it because it's one of the most multilingual pieces of the Wikimedia world it was developed by Wikimedia Germany we collaborated with them a lot like they were one of the first users of the universal language selector and the important thing about Wikidata is that it's here across all the weekends so you put the data on Wikidata and then it can be shared everywhere and even though it's not Wikidext so we are like stepping away from the habitus we it's still a wiki it's a repository that anyone can edit then another thing that the language team did is deploying the transit extension on Wikimedia sites so it became possible to translate the all kinds of pages on especially on meta and media.org and Wikidata so not Wikipedia articles but all kinds of pages using the same interface as transit wiki then there was the TAPS project which made a big upgrade in how transit wiki works in case you don't know this is how the translation interface looks like so this is both for translating pages on meta and for translating user interface on transit wiki content translation is a major project it began in 2014 it is still going on it is still in development currently the team is busy with improving mobile support and adding more adding more machine translation engines but there were other talks about this Wikimedia so you're welcome to listen to them and this brings us closer to the current time to 2023 this is written in a language about which I haven't heard before 2020 what's the end of 2020 I heard about it for the first time and I started helping the people who were involved in writing this language get to Wikipedia good story it was successful please listen to the talk about this tomorrow about the TAP but basically we did all these nice things till now but what should we do next because evidently what we have is not perfect so again another disclaimer I'm trying to make it clear till now but all of these are just ideas these are not promises I believe that these are important things that we should do in the near future as soon as possible but it's not like they are official projects with the resources and developers and engineers and designers and all that I do hope that they will become so but at the moment these are proposals so templates templates are an important part of our editors some things about them are great some things about them are not so great the most important thing that is not so great about templates is that it's very hard to use one template to use a template from one language in another language this is one of the most frequently asked questions this is different from extensions wiki media wiki extensions visual editor is the same everywhere and math formulas are the same everywhere but info boxes are different so there are however a few good things about templates it's really easy to change templates editors can change templates at least on their own wiki and that immediately becomes usable so that's a great thing about templates the problem is that extensions are really hard to modify but they are very easy to deploy and they are very easy to internationalize and some people say that it's easy to copy templates from one side to another but this is wrong I tried it many times and this is really difficult it's really tragic because people often copy a template from one of the larger wikis to their own and they just get stuck to that with some old version so this is not actually easy so my priority number one for the future is going to be global templates making templates global and terrible across all wikis now I say that templates implement features and let me give you an example of some features so musical score you can use musical score this is a screenshot from a real wiki video article you can use musical score on any side you can use hieroglyphics on any side you can use map formulas on any side but here you can see two things you can see an info box and the map from open street map and the info box is a template which you cannot use on all the sites but the map you can use on every site which gets really complicated railway maps which are very common you also cannot use them on every site so and then footnotes and chess and all these things need to become global and then ending very soon I see that people are warning me we need to improve the wiki creation process currently creating wikis is extremely complicated the incubator needs to basically go away eventually we need to allow people to just create wikis just quickly shorten the process over google again I made a very detailed talk about this at the Celtic Knock conference so you're welcome to look that up and definitely do watch the presentation about the TIAP wikipedia tomorrow any languages in general the whole configuration process is currently extremely complicated it could be automated the last thing is future content now I mentioned in the beginning that all the big wikipedia in the early years even though it was early they already have plans for the future now we need a system a method to give people an easy way to plan what will they write in the future because it happens sometimes that wikis are created and then they never grow sometimes they do but often they don't because when they are growing initially in the incubator there's something that notches them to grow and to write articles you need to finish all those important articles and then we'll graduate and tell what so we need something I gave different names when I speak about this but it's all basically the same thing we need to give people a method to show some articles that are still missing in your wikipedia so this will give a direction this is not supposed to tell people write all the same things as in English wikipedia absolutely not, it's just a method it's just something that helps people to show what to do next how to grow, how to become better than your current state how to become better than other languages competition, some healthy competition is not so bad AI AI is there a bit I know that AI is a big topic now but it's really mostly supposed to be done by people it's really supposed to be done by people who know their cultures and know what is needed for their cultures and this really brings us to a real equity, to a real future when all the languages can just write what they need and without thinking about difficult technical problems and just go there and write and this is the end and I thank you a lot and I'm very easy to reach so please reach out to me anytime and thanks a lot and enjoy the rest of the wikipedia thank you Amir
