This video shows an alternate solution to lesson 3 practice exercise D Everything is the same in this version down until line 16 on that line. I use Make feature layer to create a feature layer containing just the target city. I give that feature layer object a name of city layer Then on line 17 I Create another feature layer this one of all the park and ride facilities in this line I only pass in two parameters because I want all the park and rides. So I'm not going to pass in any type of query string here With those two layers created I can now do a select layer by location So that I can get just the park and rides that fall within the selected city So in this use of the tool the inputs I'm supplying our strings That are the names that I assigned to the feature layer objects Park and ride layer and city layer That's instead of a feature layer held in a variable and the name of a feature class as I did it in the first solution So coming into line 20 Park and ride layer refers to all 365 park and ride features Then after line 20 it refers to just the eight features that fall within the boundaries of federal way. I Then insert the name of that layer park and ride layer Into a call to the copy features tool and then finish up by cleaning up the two feature layers

Aiman, Ibn Amr, the trickster among the Sahaba had a problem, he had a drinking problem, and he was being punished on one occasion, and a certain person started to speak bad of him, and the Messenger of Allah SAW said, don't curse your brother because what? He loves in whom you love the Messenger of Allah SAW.  You see it so many different occasions, there's not enough time to go into all of these examples, but I will mention one more example.  The Prophet SAW kept sending her away. They said, well, maybe you're trying to deal with me in the same way you dealt with Ma'as ibn Mahdik, who was another man prior to who he had come to and confessed of adultery, and the Prophet SAW gave him his purification, but this woman comes and then the Prophet, and she's trying to turn her away, he's not obsessed with trying to punish her, he knows what the hud is, you know, go and make toba, and so he goes, I'm pregnant. And then the Prophet SAW turns and says to her, you go have your baby, she leaves, and after she gives birth, she returns to the Messenger of Allah SAW, and then she has the baby with her and says, yadusulullah, I've given birth, give me my purification, tahirni.  She could have fled at any time, she could have left Medina, you know, she leaves and then comes back after two years. And then she has the baby and the baby is holding a piece of bread in his hand to indicate that this baby is no longer drinking my milk, he's eating real food now. And then the Prophet SAW, now at this moment, once he realizes her sincerity, that he then orders her to receive her purification. And then after she dies, the Prophet, he prays over her, which is really interesting because we learn from the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW that the Imam, the leader of the community, should never pray over a sinner because it belittles the sin. This is like when one occasion a man, he was about to lead the prayer and then he asks, is there anyone to whom this man owes a debt?  And then the Prophet turns to the companions and says, for sallallahu ala sahibi kum, then pray over your brother. He leaves them, not the Prophet's prayer, someone else's prayer, which we know not really guaranteed to be accepted. The Prophet's prayer would be accepted and of course the Prophet needs to go gather up money for the debt, the man's debt. But this case, the Prophet, he prays over this woman and he says that if her Toba had to be distributed and divided among the people of Medina, then it would be enough for the people of Medina. Meaning, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will forgive every single one of them. You mean Yom al qiyamah, when they meet Allah, no, he said, don't worry about it. In other words, it's a sincere Toba. So the Messenger of Allah, he was a mercy to everyone. And most importantly, a mercy to his community. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that we experience a similar mercy as the mercy shown by the Messenger of Allah, and of course shown by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala through his messenger.


Good morning everybody. Thank you for coming. My name is Sargent Jason Robelard. I'm a relations officer with the Vancouver Police Department. The Vancouver Police Department has teamed up with partners to create a rally-based video to inform citizens about what to do when they face an active deadly threat. The video breaks down an active deadly threat situation and walks the viewer through a series of likely scenarios and survival tests. I'd like to introduce Chief Constable Adam Palmer who will come up here momentarily to introduce the video. The chief will be available for related questions after we play the video for you. It will also be available online and on our website. If you would like to speak with any of our community partners they will be available here in the media room. We have representatives from Ecom, Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services, BC Emergency Health Services and the Vancouver Police Foundation. Please see the list on the wall here for the proper spelling and titles of our community partners. Once this event is concluded I will also be available for any unrelated media inquiries. Thank you. Chief. Thanks Jason. Good morning everybody. As Jason mentioned I'm going to talk to you this morning about active deadly threats in a new video that we've produced. Man opens fire in the lobby of an office building. A woman starts stabbing people at a bus stop. A man drives a vehicle into a crowd of people on a busy street. These are all examples of an active deadly threat. Some of those types of incidents you'll often hear referred to in the media as active shooters and I'll tell you that these are the types of incidents that we get asked about a lot every time we see one of these incidents happen anywhere in the world. It's an uncomfortable topic and the level of gun violence in Vancouver is relatively low compared to other places but with the tax increasing and frequency around the world it's something we must prepare for as a community. We all deserve to feel safe in our city and one of the best ways to increase your sense of safety is to ensure that you are prepared with information and knowledge on how to best protect yourself. With funding from the Vancouver Police Foundation and with support from Ecom 911 BC Emergency Health Services also known as BC Ambulance Service and the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services the VPD has created a reality-based educational video to help people think through what they should do if they are faced with an active deadly threat. When we talk about an active deadly threat we mean an assailant who is actively engaged in trying to kill innocent people with a weapon. The weapon could be a gun, a knife, a vehicle or anything else that can cause harm. The attack can happen in a public place that is enclosed like an office building or a shopping mall or in an open space like a large outdoor gathering. As a police department we must prepare for an active deadly threat and we do. Our officers plan and train how we respond to neutralize the threat as quickly as possible to prevent further harm. That's priority one. But we also plan and work together with our other first responders to ensure injured people get the help that they need. However when there's an active deadly threat time will pass before first responders arrive to help. Even if it's only minutes and that's when the public or potential victims will need to act. That is what our new video focuses on. It outlines what you should do if you're faced with an active deadly threat. These will be high stress situations and we don't want to over complicate the messaging. So we've boiled it down to three things to remember. Run, hide, fight. You may do all three. You may do two of the three. You may do one of the three. But those are the three things that you need to know and they will be explained in the video. The first one I'll mention is run. So that's running to escape if that is a safe option. An important part of this is taking the time to understand your environment no matter where you go on your travels so you know the best way to get out safely. But if there's no safe way to run and escape the next recommended step is to hide.  This is a last resort but you have every right to defend yourself under high risk situations like this. These are very dynamic situations that unfold quickly and are extremely dangerous. By making this video we're encouraging people to take responsibility for their personal safety. And we also are encouraging employers to have their own safety plans in place to ensure that their employees are aware of those plans and know how to act in a case of emergency. This includes evaluating those plans periodically and practicing to ensure that those plans work. Further we encourage organizations to create a crisis response package for first responders. What I mean by that is a package that contains things including building maps and employee roster, keys and passcards to get through doors for first responders and floor plans. Although the VPD has created this video the response to an active deadly threat is not limited to police. The BC Ambulance Service, the Vancouver Fire and Rescue Service will respond with us to help treat injured people and evacuate the area when it's safe to do so. Further our partners from Ecom 911 the operators there will play a critical role in managing the overall response to keep the public and first responders safe. We're thankful for the productive working relationship we have with our partners and thank them for being here today. Specifically Mr. Oliver Grutter Andrew the president and CEO of Ecom, Ms. Samantha Wilber from BCEHS, Assistant Chief Scott Morrison from Vancouver Fire Department and I also want to recognize our own emergency response section for putting this video together. Specific thanks to Inspector Jim McCartle, Sergeant Brent Dirksen, Sergeant James Fluwelling and to Superintendent Steve Ealy, all of you for your leadership in this project. Finally before we play the video I want to thank the Vancouver Police Foundation and Executive Director Martina Makova for fully funding this important educational tool for the VPD and the people of Vancouver. This video is now available for the public on our website and we'll play it for you right now. Morning Janet. Morning Sarah how was your weekend? It was really good. How was your weekend Rick? We went to the island. Excuse me sir check your bag here please. An active deadly threat situation is very rare but you still need to be prepared. The unthinkable is happening. What do you do? Was that a gun? Let me call the lobby. First of all you don't have a lot of time although police response time is measured in minutes. A lot can happen before we get there. No answer. We got to get out of here. Well let me just get my purse. No we don't have time. But there's also a lot you can do. Number one. Run. Escape. Evaluate your options. Choose an exit where you're unlikely to encounter the assailant and that is safe to use. That's early sailing. Let's go. It's important to understand your environment so you know the best way to get out safely. If there's a safe way out run don't finish what you're doing don't take anything just run. Sound safe. Let's go. When you're safe call 911. When you call into 911 there'll be a series of questions the call taker is going to ask you. The first and most important is what is the address or location where the incident is occurring as well as where are you in relation to that. They will ask you how many assailants there are. How many shooters are there. If you can see or hear any of the weapons being used. I think I've heard seven shots. And if so what kind and how many. They will also ask you if there's any injuries. Have you seen him? I just ran. All right how many people have been shot. There will be more questions to follow depending on the circumstances. Getting clear of the situation is by far your best option. Remember leave your belongings behind. Help others to escape but go even if others don't agree to go with you and call 911 when you are safe. Once you're clear stop others from entering the area. All right just stay on the line we've dispatched the police. Are you somewhere safe. Yes we are. But what if there's no safe way out. If you can't run the next best thing is to hide. Turn out the lights and close any blinds and remain very quiet. If you can barricade the door and try to secure your hiding place as best as you can. Learn to mute both the ringer and the vibrator on your phone. If you can't mute both turn off your phone. You're trying to look as though you're not there. You probably won't have long to wait. Police are trained to respond as soon as possible. Hide behind large objects that might protect you. Ensure that anyone entering the room is a police officer. Our first priority is to locate the suspect and stop the threat. If you encounter first responders stay calm and follow instructions. Remember we're here to stop the threat and make everyone safe. That means they will likely need to bypass injured persons until it's safe to begin rescue and medical aid. We need help over here. It'll be all right. More help is on the way. Put down anything you may have in your hands phones, purses, whatever. Keep your hands visible. Do not yell, run or pointed officers. And it's a good idea to slowly raise your hands and spread your fingers. Then answer questions as calmly and concisely as you can. Worst case scenario there wasn't an option to safely escape and you've been discovered. But don't panic. There's still something you can do. As a last resort your best chance for survival is to literally fight for your life. Fight, use improvised weapons, scissors, furniture, keys. Remember you have every right to defend yourself. Act with aggression. Commit to taking the assailant down no matter what. 5-1 the building has now been completely cleared. No other suspects located. Copy 5-1. Efforts to care for victims are still underway. There are just three things you need to remember when the worst happens. Number one, run. Leave your belongings behind and get clear of any danger. Know your environment. Always have an exit plan. Where are the exits? Are there multiple routes to them? Call 911 when you're safe. If there's no safe way to an exit, number two, hide. Lock and barricade the door. Turn off the lights, close the blinds and get out of sight. Be very quiet. Signs your phone, including vibrate mode. Collect improvised weapons and make a plan of attack as silently as you can. If there's no place to hide or if you're discovered, number three, fight. Use improvised weapons. Incapacitate the assailant. Commit to and use physical aggression. You have every right to defend yourself. Police or assistant fire and ambulance will extract the injured persons. Copy that. Remember to continually assess the situation and pursue your best option for survival. The scene is secure. Develop a realistic safety plan. Practice the plan and evaluate its performance. Create a crisis response package for first responders, just off-site. It should contain at least building maps, an up-to-date employee roster, keys, passcards, floor plans, and important contact numbers. Know your environment and all exits. 10-4, have all units in note and perimeter maintain their positions for now. That's for incident command. We'll be resuming regular operations on this channel. Escape if you can. Hide if you can't. Fight if you must. Ambulance service and I'm sure they're happy to take questions as well. What was the final straw that made you decide you need to do something like this? It was around September of 2016. We really started exercising this and practicing this more. We did an exercise in Vancouver called Vanguard where we exercised a number of different scenarios including active shooters, officer down, somebody shooting in a school, threats to a hospital, a number of different things, and we realized that we're providing all this training to our police officers but there's another component that's really important. We have sort of an investigative component that's proactive and looking for these types of incidents and recurses before they happen. You've got the actual police response but the public needs to know what to do as well because it will take several minutes for police and first responders to arrive so the public needs to know what to do. So for the last year and a half or so we've been looking at it closely and over the time we built the video. What would you say is the most common mistake someone would make in a situation like this? Well I think what happens is panic sets in. Like if something like that was to happen right now I mean you're in a police station a little bit different environment but if you're in a shopping mall or you're in a church or a school or an office building where you work something like that if all of a sudden somebody starts firing shots or somebody's coming with a knife that sort of thing panic naturally sets in with people. You're not naturally trained to deal with these types of situations. So having that knowledge of three easy things to remember I think boils it down in a tense situation. You're not thinking about 10 different things three things to remember and that's what you focus on. How do you determine the likely scenario that like the encounter gets happens? Right so just looking at world events I mean there's been so many that we've seen down in the United States we've seen events in our own country with the parliament hill shooting we had the attack of course in Toronto just last month we had the science world and Starbucks shooting in Vancouver a couple years ago so these incidents do happen in Canada as well. They're obviously more frequently occurring in the United States but it is a risk anywhere in the world. Something I noticed while watching the video was there is a message from police of course to make sure that heads are visible and that they respond officer direction when the officers show up. There's also the message to harm yourself with improvised weapons. They seem very contrary to each other and as we saw in the video police can wrap a quarter on you. It's clearly a concern for police that they don't shoot the robbers. Right what can you tell me about those contradicting suggestions? Sure so when officers going into these situations they will be uniformed officers patrol officers school liaison officers officers from our emergency response team they will be clearly visible when you see a police officer coming and you're a citizen don't be holding up a weapon in your hand but if you see somebody coming at you that's the assailant the person that's causing the issue they're two completely different things so you have to be aware of your own surroundings and know who you're dealing with. The police obviously you don't want to show a weapon but if it's somebody that's going to attack you and the attack is imminent then you're able to use serious force on that person. You mentioned a few scenarios of the asset including a man driving the vehicle are the steps in that office shooter scenario the same as they would be for a vehicle scenario? Well things are slightly different so like I say the run hide fight thing it's not necessarily linear it could be linear you could do all three or as I said one of the three or two of the three but in a situation like a vehicle are coming at you probably your best course of action is going to be to run and get out of the way. You talk about the packaging for I guess like big buildings big office buildings that sort of thing is that are you taking steps now to contact particularly large buildings or campuses or anything to actually get them to make these sorts of packages? Yeah we are we're talking to hotels and different businesses in Vancouver making sure that security personnel there do get things like that together for us whether it's keys fobs maps you know security radios whatever it is but a package together so when something happens they're not scrambling to kind of get that information so we've got it in one place when we arrive it's all ready to go so yes we are reaching out. Chief is this rolling out on on television or it's just on the VPD's website? We'll put it out through social media through YouTube Facebook Twitter that sort of thing and then we're hoping that through your newscast you'll amplify it as well. What do you say to people who might say that this is just going to raise people's anxiety fear it's unnecessary we haven't seen these kinds of things happening really for the most part in in Metro Vancouver? Well I mean I think we have to be prepared for anything that could happen in our city and like I mentioned the science world shooting a couple of years ago which was an active shooter situation you know a mile from here so these things do happen in our city and they happen definitely in cities like Vancouver around the world and we just want people to be prepared we're not trying to fear monger or anything like that I just think that putting our head in the sand pretending that everything's going to be fine is also not an option it's like preparing for earthquakes or anything else may not happen for 150 years but you have to be prepared for it. But again there's no specific threat or increasing level of concern specific to to Vancouver or the surrounding area. None whatsoever the national security threat for Canada remains at medium where it's been since October of 2014 after the Parliament Hill shooting. Chief could you elaborate on what happens when you know it calls me that there's an active shooter during the department and say please take minutes to arrive what happens in those minutes? Well depending on where it is I mean there's some parts of the city that may have a higher concentration of officers than others if it's in a school there could be a schoolway as an officer working right in the school that's already on site but it will be patrol officers traffic officers emergency response team officers canine officers everybody will converge on the site and our officers are trained when they get there how to form up in pods and they go into the school and they deal with the threat right away things that we saw you know 19 20 years ago like the Columbine shooting back then the theory was to wait outside and control you know the area lock it down but in the meantime lots of kids are dying inside the school so the approach that we take now is not to wait we get there we go in right away. What's the circumstance when there isn't enough for a pod let's say there's just one officer there at the scene like a school resource officer what are their directions? Right a school resource officer will take action to save lives absolutely but there's enough officers in Vancouver that we can form up pods very quickly. Haven't really seen any other police departments make a video like this are you expecting that in other cities that this video is going to spread and just you know help people in other jurisdictions figure out what to do in a event like this? I would hope so there are some other videos I've seen down in the United States I'm not familiar with ones in Canada they may exist but it's the first one I'm aware of locally. Chief how much did it cost to put this whole thing together? No Martina what was it 20 grand or 20,000? Could you elaborate on vanguard of exercises October 2016 what was part of that exercise that I don't recall having heard of? Yeah that was an exercise where we did a scenario of an officer down like an officer involved shooting where an officer had been shot we did another scenario up at a school in Vancouver where we had we mocked up a situation where an active shooter was inside of a school we had actors we had you know well over a hundred people involved in the exercise from VPD from the fire department, ECOM, the ambulance service going through a mock scenario of what you would do if you had a situation like that happening but we put multiple scenarios on at the same time so there was the officer down there was the school shooting there was an escaped armed suspect that we had to track down and also an event at a local hospital that was a notional exercise and how we would respond to that. Did you learn anything as part of that that made you change what you did prior to September 2016 and now? Yeah absolutely I mean a lot of the protocols we had in place worked very well and we were very happy with the training that we provided to officers and but like any exercise there were things that we saw that we could do differently and a lot of it comes down to communication with our partners so we're all on the same page and we know that when we respond to an incident like that the ambulance and the fire department and ECOM knows what the police are going to do and vice versa we need to know who's going to stage where who's going to take on what responsibilities and how those all intertwine together and we still that is still evolving to this day to make sure that we're up to the best practices that are happening around the world and when these things happen in other cities like Las Vegas and Orlando we debrief all of those types of incidents and we take out lessons learned that we can apply here in Vancouver. Okay thank you very much everybody. Okay thank you very much. If you guys would like to interview any of our community partners are available in the room.


I've been in the trade now for 23 years. In that time, I have been an apprentice. I've been a journeyman. I've been a foreman. I've been a site supervisor. I've been an estimator. I've been an operations manager. I've owned a couple of my own contracting businesses and now I'm an instructor. And in that time, I've seen apprentices make a lot of mistakes. In this video, what I want to do is talk about the five biggest mistakes I see all apprentices make and what you can do to avoid them. So let's get going. Okay, these are in no particular order. So don't think that I'm ranking them, but they are, I think of equal importance. Some may resonate with you more than others, but what I really want to get across is these five points I find are the ones that it doesn't matter what trade you in or what level you're at, you need to really consider avoiding them. So number one is staying with the same company for too long. Now I get it. I had such a great experience myself and I speak from experience on this one. I did my entire apprenticeship with one company and it was fantastic. I had the best bosses. I had great foreman, great experiences. The problem is when you're sticking with one company is you lose out on experience working with other people. And you can get into bad habits. And what can happen sometimes is you can end up learning bad habits from the company you're working with. So they might have their ways of doing things that you might not even discover is wrong. And when you go to another company later on down the road and you start finding better ways to do things. So sometimes what you're gonna do is you're gonna take experiences from this company and this company and this company and you can kind of put them all together and you're gonna get a great experience. So it's something that you'd wanna consider is branching out. And the same thing, you end up stuck in a niche whereas if you're with one company you might just end up doing nothing but residential or commercial or industrial for myself, my experience. I did my entire apprenticeship on climate control systems for greenhouses. That is an extremely niche market. So when I actually had a chance to get out and experience what else was out there the whole electrical world just opened up to me and I just fell absolutely head over heels in love with my trade because of that. So that's number one, do not stay with the same company for too long. Number two is working in unsafe conditions. There is no excuse for that these days. Those days of having to work in those situations where your boss tells you to do something they're long gone when it's an unsafe situation. It's not worth it. If you have the right to refuse unsafe work do not put yourself in those situations thinking that you've got to impress your boss, you don't. There are so much work out there. If you're worth your weight you're gonna find another job if they're gonna let you go because you're working in unsafe conditions. So if you do not feel comfortable working in the environment that you're in mention it to somebody.  So number two is make sure you do not work in unsafe conditions. Number three, and this is a big one I see a lot and I see this with my students as well is never asking any questions. Now I know you're gonna be new to the trade and some of you this might be your first day on the job and so you think that you have nothing to add or you don't wanna bug anybody but you've got to ask those questions because if you don't ask those questions you're gonna make mistakes and you're gonna make mistakes regardless but you might make dumb mistakes that could have been avoided had you asked the questions and that's only gonna put you in a bad light with your boss and with your journeyman and whoever else you're working with the team. So you wanna make sure that you're asking lots of questions. Now that being said, there's a little caveat to that. Don't be that just chatty, chatty person that is constantly asking questions that you might even know the answers to. People see through that stuff. So just ask the questions that you actually have. Don't be making excuses to ask questions. So that's number three is not asking any questions. Number four, treating school as though it's a joke or some sort of hoop you've got to jump through. Now this is something that gets to the very fiber of my being being that I'm an instructor in electrical trades. I sincerely believe, and I believe this when I was going to school too that it's so important this school time. First off, the foundation of what you're learning the theory behind it is actually important. There are things that you're going to need to understand and you're going to learn those things in school. So that's really important to get those foundational parts down and understood. Secondly, the relationships you form in school will change everything. With these classes that you have to go to, you start actually getting involved in some great relationships and you start networking and you start getting to know people. It's amazing what you can happen in this. So keep in mind that going to school is not just about the theory, though that is very important, it's also about the relationships and the networking that can happen within it. And number five, our last point, acting like you know more than you do. This goes right back to ask questions. Make sure that you ask questions. This kind of goes into, when somebody asks, can you do that? And you say, sure, I know how to do that. And then you don't know how to do that. I got a friend who's the site supervisor of a construction renovation company. They go in and they renovate and fix up condos and they're constantly having problems because they're hiring these people that they ask during the interview, can you do this? Can you tile? Can you frame? Can you board? Can you mud and tape? Can you do electrical? Can you do plumbing? All this stuff, they're asking these questions. People say yes, and then they come in and they don't know what they're doing. So they end up getting the boot because they've been completely useless and basically they've lied.  And as an apprentice, you don't know enough. And there's one thing that really struck me hard. When I was on my fourth year and we just passed our TQ, which up here where I go to school, we just passed our final exam, which meant that we probably had our certificate of qualification, basically the first part of our ticket.   But when you're a fourth year apprentice, you still don't know as much as you think you do. And that's one thing you start learning over and over again. And like I said, I've been now in the trade for 23 years. I don't know everything. There's still things that I run into that my students are teaching me. So don't think that you know everything. Now that's it for tonight today. What I would love for you to do is in the comments below, what are some of the other mistakes that you see apprentices making? Let's get this community going and sharing about this because I think that we can change things if we let apprentices know the mistakes that we made and they can learn from our mistakes.  What are some of the mistakes that you made that you wish you could go back in time and tell others about? All right, make sure you hit click on that subscribe, hit that notification and we'll see you next week at the Electric Academy.


Basically, the entire Course in Miracles could be summarized with the part at the very beginning of the conclusion of the introduction. Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. What is the real, but the everlasting, but the infinite, but the eternal, but the changeless? That's what the real is. It's what we sometimes refer to as light. Not light like sunlight or fluorescent light or the lights we're familiar with in this world, but just the light of wisdom, the light of understanding, the light of peace. That abstract light cannot be threatened because it is, as Byron Katie might say, it is what is. What is is just pure love, light, oneness, abstract oneness. And even our scientists have been formulating and pondering about this universe. They're pretty sure there was some kind of a big bang. And what fascinates them most is what is prior to the big bang. What's before the big bang? Even though I think the wayshower from 2000 years ago Jesus said before Abraham was I am. He's pretty much saying that the I amness, the reality that we call love and light is prior to the big bang and therefore it's prior to time. So the present moment that all the saints and sages talk about is actually prior to time.  It looks like a static loaf of bread. It's already happened. So it's just kind of like where you seem to be in that loaf of bread is basically your perspective on the whole cosmos. Whatever coordinates that you call your self, your flesh self, your human self at the five senses, that's like a little point in the loaf of bread that's looking out at the loaf of bread and the stars and the planets and everything from inside that loaf of bread. And basically he said the bread is already there. It's already happened. And there are a lot of traditions that talk about destiny and so on so forth and the script. And so basically that really contradicts our human perception that the whole cosmos is like a loaf of bread and that we're looking inside of a loaf of bread. It seems to be more exciting than that. Another concept that you can bring in from science is entropy basically ever since the Big Bang. Everything that seems to be moving within the cosmos is basically moving towards destruction. It's falling apart. And there's all kinds of examples but if you watch the cycles of nature or if you simply take a cube of ice out from your freezer and you set it out on your patio and you just watch it, it loses its shape and it goes into liquid. It goes from something that seems to be structured and ordered and has pretty solid dimensions to something that's just liquid and it just rolls out and rolls away or evaporates. Basically that's the concept of entropy. So oftentimes we try to romanticize this world and we try to romanticize parts of the world but basically the scientists are saying no it's all entropy. It's all moving towards chaos. You can deny it but this is the fact of it. And they will say that once you go back to the Big Bang that it actually the cosmos becomes very ordered when you come back closer and closer to the Big Bang and prior to the Big Bang. So we're back to that. Even the scientists are saying that whatever came before the Big Bang there was order. We might call that nirvana. We might call that the kingdom of heaven. We could call it I amness. It's perfect unified oneness. And now even the quantum physicists study the subatomic particles and they go deeper and deeper where they just come down to basically connected energy. They call it entanglement. Everything is connected. There they are. They've come up with another word. The poets have words for it. The scientists have words for it. Those in religion have words for it. And those that have spirituality have words for it. It's all the same thing. It's perfect connectedness.


Hey, how are you? Doing good. Hi, Tony. Matt, are you ready? Yep. I'm excited to see it in action. Yep, all good. Taking a break from open SSS across the street. Yeah, how's it going? It's going well. Good. Good. Conference, conference, conference. I've only been home for two days since I saw you in Paris. Only two days. Yeah. My gosh. Have you been fun places though since then? Phoenix. Tucson. San Francisco. Here, Seattle. And then back to San Francisco in a week for RSA. Yeah. Oh, wow. Perfect. No problem. Everybody. Give y'all a chance to log in and get, get comfy. And we'll get started in a little bit. Good. Matt, you will be at the beginning. We're going to kind of go through the first couple housekeeping slides of. Recording and all that good stuff. And then I'll hand over to you. And share the screen with you. Is that right? Yep. Well, I'm going to share my screens. Everything queued up as long as I have screen shareability. All right. And that's what happens when I give Libby a good idea in Paris as she has me present that idea. Yep. Don't bring me an idea unless you want to do it. At the next meeting. Everybody hang tight. We're going to let everyone join in. Give him another couple of minutes. Hello. Hey, Carla. How's it going? Good. Good. Thanks. How are you Libby? I'm doing good. I'm just. Are you a Seattle? I'm not this week. I am not. That is. Uh-huh. Lucky you. I'm having four more. Everybody there. Yeah. Yeah, that's going pretty good so far. Matt, I'm here. I'm in Seattle too. We should meet up later today. Oh, Melissa. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah. It is a really fun event. I'm like. I'm fun to connect with a bunch of people. Yeah. I'll find you at the conference later, Matt. I've got a booth. So. Okay, I'll come by your booth. My hair is pretty easy to find. So. Just waiting on a few more. And then. Katie's going to get our slides pulled up. So. Everyone hang tight. Okay. Okay. Everyone ready? Yes, Matt. I will. All right. Thanks y'all for joining us for this month's marketing committee meeting. We are changing things up just a little bit this week and we'll have a poll at the end. A survey monkey. A couple of questions poll to kind of get an idea of if you like this and what we can do in the future. So let's go ahead and get started. This is our conference date today. This is how you join in the next meeting will be May 1st. Same time, same place. The call is recorded. You can find these recordings on our YouTube playlist for marketing committee meetings. So if you ever miss one, feel free to check it out there and direct anyone asking that way too. And just a quick notice to keep the attorneys out of things. So. Let's, let's do that. And our agenda for today, going over this real quickly, we're going to kick things off with our guest speaker Matt Denny at testify sec. He, as Matt mentioned, he came and did some office hours at KubeCon and got himself wrangled into hosting this week by sharing some good ideas. So we will kick things over to him. He's going to show us some cool stuff with AI. After that, we'll do a quick KubeCon debrief, the way we typically do. And it'll be open for chat. Then some quick team updates and key takeaways where we'll also send out the survey monkey link at the end. And then you can also copy it and we'll email that out as well. So keep things. Keep things short and sweet today. All right. So I'm going to hand over to Matt. If you want to share your screen. I'm going to send you in and you can take it away. Awesome. Thanks, Libby. And before I share my screen, just to know some of you, but to introduce myself more. Matt Denny from testify sec. Some people call me Mohawk if you figure out why you get a prize. But really love all things brand marketing, storytelling and everything that we do on this call. So I want to kick it off with a tool that I found, very useful. I'm going to share my screen now. I can't share my screen. Oh, there we go. So this is a tool called video AI. So I'm not sure everyone's experiencing the call, but I do a lot of videos. I have for many years over in the past, probably three to four years, maybe five years, I've either recorded myself or edited for others, probably close to realistically probably close to five to six thousand. Like I do a lot with video in a lot of spaces. And so as AI started to come out the last few years, I got really interested in the AI video editing features. And this is a tool that I personally found. There's a lot out there. But this is my favorite.  And that's also the website. And I'm not promoting them. This is just my favorite. This is just an example of things that are out there. But what I want to show was how it cause for my company now and in general, we do a lot of webinars, things like that. I know some others don't call it do as well. And it's, how do they take that big chunk of content and then turn that into other pieces of content? It used to be me going through editing like 50 different pieces or hiring someone to do that and edit all these pieces of content individually. But now if video AI and other tools like it, it's pretty simple. So I have something queued up, but I do want to show just how easy it is. You just load a new project, load the file. You can even just load a link from YouTube if it already exists. And it'll just cut it. It'll just download it directly from YouTube, which is kind of cool because you can't always download stuff from YouTube if they don't have download feature on, but this will do that for you. So I've already got one queued up for time's sake, because depending on the time of the video, like the length depends on how fast it cuts and what that looks like. So when, when there's projects in here, you can see some different projects I've got. The one I'm going to show you is a recent interview with our CEO. So what's really cool is inside here, you can set up a lot of different things. So I think I have my default set to portrait right now. So it starts to just cut those clips into that. But what it does, I'm going to walk through some of the navigation before I share some more. So it puts all the clips over here. This, this time it created 17 shorts. And it also rates them based on what it thinks is either content that matches the title or that is full sentences and full, full clips. And again, it's AI. So it guesses and I can show you what, how you can adjust that after and in a minute. You can see these are 52, 55, 25, 52 seconds of great little clips. And it rates them. And sometimes even though there is a score, sometimes my favorite ones are on the bottom end because it doesn't always know what it's rating against. It just guesses. Yeah. So I'll go into one. So this is one of the clips here. You can have on the top here, you can use landscape portrait, portrait split. If you want to do the side by sides or the top and bottoms, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram formats. You can also create templates to make it really easy to. So I'll go into this one just to show. Oh, move my screen up just a little bit. There we go. Okay. So like I said, it kind of guesses it guesses what the clips are and how they work. You can add backgrounds. You can add all kinds of stuff. I don't think I turned the sound on. Did I? When I shared my screen to unite develop. That's okay. We don't need the sound. But what's really great is if it cuts off like right. Maybe it cut off like two seconds before the gold or the nugget. You just scroll the bar. And so you can control and you can move. You can add how much it does and up to the whole video. So like it cuts the clip for you and guesses, but then you can also add and remove time on the front and back. Over here, what's really cool. And I think this is what, I think Libby thought this was cool until I showed her this stuff. And then she was like, Oh, that's really easy. Over here. So it's got a bunch of different tools, cut magic. So it can, it can like naturally cut to different heads. If you've got multiple feeds in here. And it can add subtitles. And this is how you edit the subtitles. It's got a lot of elements. You can have all your logos and everything saved in here and just reload them. And the intros, outros, whatever you guys do with video, if you do that, media, texts, backgrounds, what you would expect. But what's really cool is the AI descriptions. So if I want to create some LinkedIn content for this clip specifically, I just go LinkedIn and generate description. And magically I distract you while it does this thing. Well, that's loading. Are there any questions at this point, comments, thoughts? As people use this before things like this. I can't see yet. So I'm assuming we'll get. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Anna, I wanted to ask Matt. Thank you first of all for sharing this, but what would you say is the highest benefit that you got? Do you save time? Is it the fact that because of the massive amount of videos you produce, your workload is now much lighter? Yes. Yeah. So two major benefits. One is time for me. Another is I can teach anyone how to use this. I don't, I don't need a special skill set or video editor. I can put anyone on this on this task assistance. I've had our CEO use it before because he needed a clip and I couldn't log in. So if you can make a CEO do it, anyone can use it. Right. I tell them that all the time. Does that answer your question, Carl? Absolutely. Yeah. Goshly. Thanks. I was just saying, I've used a similar platform called course. I, the records, you know, intro calls and demos and things, but this seems much more advanced. Is this an open source product or do you have a license for this? I have a license. You can, it has free services. I just do too much video to go past the free piece. Okay. Very cool. It's a service that you pay for, but they do have, you can do like. You can do a free trial or free account that gives you like. 150 minutes to play with it and see, and it's minutes that you load, not minutes that it cuts.  Awesome. Thank you so much. This is really cool. You're welcome. So is that loaded? You can see it. I just threw in a YouTube LinkedIn pause. You can see just a quick little YouTube thing. And it really customizes based on the platform, which is really cool. That was YouTube short that it did. Here's a Twitter one. And it's just, again, it's just time. We're all, most of our marketing lives live in a one person team. We're very small teams. So this is just a tool I found extremely helpful. And yeah, and I use it and then you just export it. You can set it up where it publishes straight for you. Like when it's done, when it's done saving, it'll like push to your platforms. I don't use that feature. I just export it and then schedule it with our regular scheduling tool. But yeah, I'll stop or pause there. If there's questions, if not, I guess I'm done. I love this. I think that you hit on exactly what probably a lot of y'all are dealing with is small teams and trying to put out a lot of content. So I think it's something that really saves time. And does anybody else have any questions or comments? Can you hear me? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I just throw into the chat a tool that I use that's particularly useful for audio and or presentations that aren't human video heavy called Descript. And it's fundamentally different than any other editing software I use in that the user interface for cutting and pasting is a text editor. You don't want to duplicate a word or you have some phrase you don't want to do. You just delete the words and it'll delete it from the video. It'll cut cut it from the video. And it also has a one, a one click feature to get rid of all arms and errors and you know, that sort of stuff. No, it's sort of all that noise. I love the script. I actually use a script sometimes before I put them into this tool because then I've got some things cleaned up and I use the audio sound feature too. Yep. Yeah. You can use multiple tools.  And it's great for transcriptions too. Awesome. Where's the data stored after editing? Do you stay owner or are they using it for other purposes or developing the tool itself? You can opt into either one of those. So they have they have an opt-in feature like do you want to keep it to yourself? I keep everything to myself. Or myself. So this, I can tell I'm with the tech community when they ask these kinds of questions. I love it. So great. If anyone has, I'll be on. I'm in this. I'm in the CNCF Slack. If there's, we want to more walkthrough or help setting it up. Happy to help. Just help the community and such. So otherwise, thanks, Libby. Yeah, thank you, Matt. So this is an example of something we're wanting to open up and we'll pull about on the survey monkey. Matt came to us with an idea and thought this is something useful. The marketing committee might want to see. So if there's other ideas, be thinking about what you want to add into that survey of things that you're using that you think the other community members might enjoy or be useful ways that, you know, you're doing marketing using benefits, things like that. So we want to start bringing the community in to help each other and open that up. So thank you again, Matt. That was awesome. All right. I'm going to hand over to the PR team is who is here today. I can't see. Do you have Jesse or who's here? Yeah, sorry. No problem. Here. Hey. Hey. Yeah. So we had a really, really great cube con from a media perspective. It was really, really good.  So I wrote virtually, but I meant in person. So it was just a huge amount of analysts attended. We had the largest number of like original articles that published within like the first week that we've ever had. It was, it was just really great coverage, really good. It was, it was really, really successful. We had a press conference to roundtables discussing what's next in cloud native and cloud native security. And then 71 members are actually sponsors now sponsors commit submitted contributed content ahead of the event which published in our media partner publications. So it was, it was just, it was so successful. I had a really great, I had a really great event. I loved it. So yeah, you can go to the next one. I highlighted next year. Three different articles that I thought were really kind of represented quite nicely the coverage that we got. This one was also actually from an analyst who wrote a really great outline of cyber security highlights from the event. And then the next two are from full on reporters. So we have next one did genomic and actually Chris, Chris wrote a bunch of really great articles. If you go into his, this one. And then Forbes, this is from Adrian. Both of those reporters wrote a bunch of really great articles within like the like the week. Actually, they're still coming out. But if you look at their, all of the articles that they've written, it's worth a look really great insight from the event. And then I have outlined also, I don't know if my, is it Libby is my, maybe my computer is going to release though that CNCF announced we made a ton of announcements.  And then we had a large number of project and working group announcements as well. So it was, it was just, it was really great. Everybody got a lot of good coverage. Actually, the projects that made announcements at the event got good coverage.  And then I also included just some of the, some more highlights from the coverage that we got. Worth a look bunch, just a bunch of really great coverage, specifically out of the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, the UK, the US. So yeah, it was, it was great. There you go. I'll, I'll hand it over to the analysts relations. I think Trisha or Carl. Yeah, Jesse. I'm here. So I'm going to take this one. Yeah. Yeah. Just as Jesse was saying, I mean, there was consistent theme that keep con Paris showcase to more mature and diverse cloud native landscape. And the analysts were all over that in their blogs and their, their coverage. And I think we're going to continue to see that, that markedly greater emphasis on AI, I sustainability, observability, platform engineering. I could go on. But as you see here, there's a lot of technology is like, wow them as well. You know, the whole point is that, you know, we're seeing a consistent theme of the market maturing, cube con expanding its reach. We're seeing what's really interesting to me now. And we've had analysts at this event, like Jesse was saying, in terms of global coverage, we had an analyst come from as far as, I mean, we had one from Australia and Malaysia. And so they're all coming to cube con EU. And, and we're seeing, you know, they want to be at both shows consistently. So that's, that's just a fun balance we're working with. If you want to go ahead and go to the next slide. One thing that we see is the analysts are not only, go ahead and click to the next slide. There you go. The analysts. I choose this just because it's a great example of what I was just saying, but also the analysts are not just blogging to their own firm sites, but they're also publishing on media outlets. So you saw the tech target article that Jesse just highlighted. Here's one, you know, with avid think, and it's published on fierce telecom on the next slide. You'll see also an example here where there was an article, several articles actually by Mary Jander and Scott Rainovich over at Futurium, which was also, they also repositioned as a feature article and Forbes. So the reach of the analysts is really kind of that blur of media and analysts, but in balance with that, and if you want to go to the next slide, which is interesting is, you know, outside of the KubeCon show insights coverage, many of the analysts are letting us know they're planning ongoing reports. And this is important to everyone on this call because, you know, one of the most important things that they let us know in a feedback survey that they saw as one of the top benefits in attending KubeCon was really meeting with the vendors and talking to, you know, seeing the demos, going and visiting the booths, talking to the sponsors, and then also attending the sessions and talking with the end users. So we're seeing, you know, and this is just a sample of the coverage. What you see with the analysts compared to media is they're slower in getting their coverage out. And there are also a lot of their work that is going to go up from these shows and attending shows up in the research and they're, you know, they run to research calendars that they set at the beginning of the year. So that's really, you know, that's really important to know that it's a consistent drum beat of coverage that we'll see coming out from the analysts through their firms, through their research. And that's in part, I think too, why they want to have a stronger pulse and attend the event more consistently regardless of the geography. One thing as well, if you go to the next slide, is we are seeing a consistent increase of self-produced podcasts and videos. We had a lot of feed on the street. This isn't, you know, these are just examples. And no way is this the full coverage. They're producing their own podcasts and they're bringing in experts or people into those podcasts, but we're also seeing the analysts attend as speakers with media videos, with vendor videos. So, you know, the analyst community is incredibly active. And we're seeing the synergies between the vendors, the media, the analysts, the practitioners, the whole ecosystem, which is really exciting. And just in closing on the final slide, we're seeing, you know, they're incredibly active on social media. So it's a lot of fun when you're at the events, follow some of these folks. This is just an example. We had, I think, over 75 analysts alone on, you know, feed on the street in Paris, but you can get a lot of their real-time feedback because they are actively blogging as well. So if anyone has any questions, please let myself or Carl or Jesse know, or Chad or any of us, but this is just kind of some of the highlights coming out of the event. Awesome. Thanks, Trisha. All right, heading to membership growth. Here is a look at our new members. Welcome, everyone, and end-user supporters and silver end-users into content marketing. Okay, this is still me. Quick overview of your online programs from the last month of March.  But remember to book your online programs. The views on YouTube, as you can see, are just getting higher and higher. The content y'all are sending in and creating is great. People are loving it. And just keep booking. If you have any questions on how many you have left, how to use them, where to book them, feel free to send any questions to me or you can click through these links. End-user case studies. I think we were going to take this one. These are just the updates of the case studies that we've been bringing in. Take a look. You can submit your proposals via GitHub. And likewise with the blogs. These are just a little update on your blog metrics. Continue sending those over to the blog team. And when you have blogs, I'll remind you to submit also to the Kube Weekly newsletter at kubeweeklyatcncf.io for consideration to that newsletter as well. And over to Jeefy with projects. Hello, hello.  All right, chat loop back off for the next month. Here is the schedule. Currently it's been bouncing between myself hosting and Jeremy Rickard. We're going to be expanding hosts to a couple more community members. I'm going to ride into the sunset and then hopefully this becomes more community owned with ambassadors coming in as well. The projects that we've picked are mainly projects that our end users have been interested in. And we have been getting quite a few views, especially since it's kind of started out of nowhere. So just wanted to call that out. Next slide. Another plug from the last meeting, but we now have a site dedicated for resources for our projects. This doesn't involve things like our marketing committee and marketing support. So please go in there, see if we're missing anything. PRs are welcome, but also if there's just something completely missing, reach out to myself, Libby, whoever on the team, and we will get it updated and available to our projects. And next slide. This I think is the more important slide out of the three. We have welcomed six new sandbox projects. The project list grows and grows. I wouldn't say that there's any insight or pattern around these projects that got voted in. Right now the TOC is focusing on getting first in, first out. So it's not like we're focusing on AI or we're focusing on workloads. However, if you look at, you know, what projects did get accepted just now, a couple of them focus on application delivery and a couple of them are focused on improving networking and one is security related. But all of them are pretty interesting. So I would definitely point these out to people within your org or just look yourself because they're pretty dope. That's it for me, questions, comments. The cat finally left the room of course once I'm done. Awesome. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Over to Katie. Hi everyone. So some updates on the community programs side. KCDs we've completed eight this year so far and we have 24 more in the planning phases for 2024, which is a super exciting start for us. And we're excited to see this program continue to grow. Upcoming CFP deadlines. So if you're, if you have coworkers or your base in any of these areas or you want to grow your networks in other areas, we definitely recommend this is a great place to get started. So KCD Lima and KCD Washington DC, both have open CFPs at this time. Upcoming events are Bucharest, Romania, DACA and New York. And then KCD Zurich in person June 12th is already, 12th and 13th is already sold out but has workshop tickets available if you're interested in that. And then of course open for the sponsor prospectus can be found on our KCD GitHub repository. And thanks, Lincoln. Yeah, also KCD Austria CFP is open as well. And then check out our upcoming CNCGs. These are community meetups. If you're local to any of these areas, we definitely recommend checking these out. They are picking up a lot of traction. We're seeing a lot of growth with our meetups and a lot of cool, interesting topics coming out of each of them. So I definitely recommend dropping in and building your network that way. And I'll hand it on over to Celia for events. Thanks, Katie. All right, so we're going to start off with just a debrief from the KubeCon cloud native com in Europe. As was mentioned, it was a very successful event from a lot of different viewpoints. On the next slide, Katie, we have just the initial kind of demographics that were put out immediately following the event. We had just over 12,000 attendees. You can see some great information here on demographics. There is a link to the YouTube playlist and the Flickr album, just a reminder that any of the photos in the album can be used. So feel free to grab anything there. And then we're working on the final transparency report, which should be available by the end of the week. And on the next slide, a few questions. If we want to open up for discussion, feel free to put any feedback in the chat as well. And we can grab it from there and record for follow-up. But just if anyone has anything that they think worked well or maybe didn't work quite so well, things you want to see in the future or any areas of improvement that you would like to mention, feel free to come off mute and let us know. I'll just chime in real quick. We heard from a lot of our members, and I'd love to hear from everyone else on this call, that this was a super successful event for them, that they felt that the sponsor showcase floor was super busy. They saw a lot of interest and a lot of lead gen coming from that. Our project pavilion was super packed. We saw great feedback from that as well. So kudos to George Castro for running that. Those like project pavilion tours twice a day to really shed light on each of the projects and really make that introduction for the community. But we would really love to hear, you know, what worked well with your company, maybe something that people should consider for their own implementation as they go into QCon North America or if they're participating in QCon China or India. I think that's a great place to kind of think of, but we did hear that this was a super successful event. But we're always, we always know that there's room for improvement. So sharing, you know, what you think could be improved upon will try our best. We can't always make promises. Now, I see a lot of people posting project pavilion. Great work for this event. It was awesome. Martine said it was the best event for us ever, mostly since we started joining events. We did a bingo action to make people come back to our booth to score coworkers. I love that. Maybe you can give us a little bit more insight on what that bingo action looked like for your company, Martine. Yeah, I can tell you more about it. We made a bingo card with pictures of our coworkers. Some were just visiting side events and some were all day at the booth. And we noticed it was just a trial, but we noticed that people were coming by our booth several times. So you start learning each other and start to know each other and you make different talks with people. So it's better than just people walking by and just not, and walk on. So it was good to really interact with people at the event. And we had two persons who really had a full bingo card so they could win something from us. That's awesome. I love that. Yeah, I can also share that. Definitely, I had the same feeling about the Project Pavilion, which sometimes ended up being a bit far from the rest of the Expo floor, but this time it was at the very heart of it and it felt like we were... You really put it at the center of the event, I think it improved the experience of all those projects that are the foundation of this community, which is great. But generally speaking, even at the Isovalent booth, we had a constant flow of people very eager to learn. So it wasn't just the amount of people, it was their interest, the fact that they wanted to know more about the projects and what we were doing. So there was a real interaction, especially with our hands-on labs. So we gave them the opportunity to get their hands dirty a little bit, try some sealant labs, etc. So we saw that working really well. Again, the learning part, so getting something out of it that is useful. We also did lightning talks. And again, that can go very wrong, but we had so many people that, again, testament of how much people were there to get away with something in terms of knowledge and useful information for their daily job and more. So indeed, that was great. Definitely the best I've seen so far. One thing that obviously was hard, I don't know if other sponsors had the same experience, we had quite a few e-cups with vendors, I don't know if it was a country issue, but yeah, it was particularly bad and it made logistics challenging. But yeah, we also got your support with that and we're very grateful. So we can see the effort in alleviating the pain. And lastly, one thing that I think we can still, I don't know, improve a little bit is the party. It doesn't always feel like a party and it's always hard for sponsors and exhibitors because we are working there and it doesn't feel like a break. It feels like a longer day, which on the one hand is great because it's more networking opportunity, but on the other hand, it's not like switching off, okay, I'm gonna stay with the community and enjoy the time. Yeah, that's my summary feedback. Thanks Karla, we appreciate that feedback. I really appreciate you providing us insight about the feel of the booth crawl party from a vendor perspective and I'm not sure if there's other people on this call, that feels the same way, but we'd love to hear that. So that way our team can kind of figure out from our end how we can brainstorm a solution to make it feel more party and less work for your staff. And if you have any idea, we would love to hear them as well. Yeah, it's hard to find solutions because of the numbers. I know that's one of the main reasons why it's been difficult lately because they've done us grown so much. And I don't know if it's a matter of separating, like close the floor, but not closing it. So close the booth and just keep the party going for a while. It can be as easy as that, or if the possibility of going somewhere else is completely out of question. Yeah, I will say it's really hard to always plan an offsite. We used to do it for many years for those who may not have gone to previous coupons. It can become very expensive to host an event offsite. You have to think through the logistics of transportation, especially for that number of people. And we started to see a real huge decline in people attending the offsite event versus just coming to the cube crawl. But we are open to figuring out a way to make it have more of a balance at the cube crawl. So thank you for bringing that forward. And I know the events team who are on this call appreciate that candor. And I know that they'll kind of take that back internally and work together to figure out what else we can do. Thank you. Yeah, and Katie just throwing on there too, that we have been discussing this internally as well, just from different feedback that we've gotten from sponsors and attendees. So it's something that's high on our radar to kind of brainstorm some different ideas and make improvements where we can. So thanks for that, Carla. Hi, this is Gina from Spectro Cloud. I do share some of the sentiments that Carla had. Overall, for our company, it was definitely the best cube con. I heard a lot of my sales team saying, yay, this is the best cube con quality of discussions, so that was fantastic. I have been, this is like my fifth cube con I've been to. So I've been to other ones and I felt like just talking about the cube crawl, I really love the experience at Detroit. I felt that was like more of a fun party, but I know sometimes whichever host country, it may be hard to do those type of experiences, but I really enjoyed myself at that party. And I do like it as a vendor to have it stay in there and the showcase. I think for us is we made it more fun. I don't know if you notice us, but we had blue wigs. And so I feel like if you create more of like a party atmosphere, then everyone knows that it's their party time. Maybe I suggest a tip. Is there an opportunity to have like the, us sponsors get our drinks maybe like fast track quicker because that's waiting in line and it's like, then there's not a lot of booth coverage. I know that can be challenging, but I want my team to have a good time. And then I think some of the challenges I did face like Carla did was the host country may not be as friendly as other host countries that we've had. And so this for me was a little bit more challenging. I experienced, but, and then this first time I did co-located, I feel like there's opportunities to improve and co-located. I feel like it's so great when I do the regular Kubecon booth and everything runs seamless, but then co-located is not as seamless. So I spent a ton more time there for setup. But I did learn a lot that you may not need as much of an experience there like you do to Kubecon. So because it was my first one, I did learn a lot, but I noticed like it was harder to like make sure I had the right internet and things and things are more spread out and I understand it's co-located. And then I think that's it. I really do like the opportunity where we can express more of like our own type of experience. Like hearing about the bingo card, I definitely want to hear more about that. I think that was neat. It was fun because in my past life, I've always done an experience where it's like roll and when. And so just to share that people love to roll and when. And so I had a blue fuzzy dice and people are like, what's the blue fuzzy dice? And so it's really interesting that even though they're not coming for you, if you're standing in the Iowa way and you're holding blue fuzzy dice, people will come up to you. So that was something else that I feel like in the EU Kubecons, they're much more apt to check it out too. But just want to share some, some best practices there. Thanks, Gina. That's great. And I love hearing the fun that you brought into your booth with the blue fuzzy dice and the, and the wigs. I think you're right. Bringing a level of like carefree fun and making it engaging and making people want to stop and ask questions is a great way to kind of generate that, that positivity around your beard. I know Lincoln shared a few things in the chat before she had to run just kind of around the over the growing of increasing number of colos and not being sure which ones to pick. So our team will also review that as well. And I, before we move on to the next thing for Celia, I do want to address that. We did hear a lot of feedback in regards to challenges that our community felt not just from a vendor side, but across, you know, attendee attendees within the venue. And we did address that with a venue and let them know for, for future events when they're engaging with other communities. So that way they can continue to approve. So we do appreciate when you raise those things because it allows us to work with the venue. So that way they can be better for, for the next one. So thank you again for all of that. I'm going to go ahead and move on to the next side. If you have any additional feedback, feel free to share it. You know, either in the chat or, you know, reach out to Libby myself and I believe Celia, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the chat. And if you have any additional feedback, feel free to leave them in the chat. And I'm going to move on to the next slide. The survey is still open as well. Thanks, Katie. All right.
