ind of what we're looking at for next year. Just some discussions about kind of where we see stresses, obviously enrollment is a big stressor and those kinds of things. So having that meeting, I have been in touch with Mr. Tosti, but he's out of town until the 15th. So he said he would get back to me on that one when he gets back. And so after we hear from both the principals and department heads in November and December, then at our second meeting, we talk about basically what we have for priorities. So anything that you think that you wanna talk about, you wanna make sure that the superintendent has heard it, whether it's coming from you or people that you've been talking with. And we are also working on possibly in December and January, figuring out how we might be able to collect some public input on the budget. Then on the next page is the rest of the year. January, our first meeting, we would set the school committee priorities for the budget and deliver basically our first budget number to town meeting, although I know that's more symbolic than anything else. January 2nd, nothing budget-wise happens. February, the first meeting, we get our first look at budget details. So that's coming from the superintendent and Ms. Johnson. And the second, we would actually have our budget hearing in our second meeting in February. In March, we would have a final vote on the budget and approve anything that's gonna go to the meeting with FINCOM, which will be either the 16th or 18th of March. And then basically we are in waiting until we get final approval from the town meeting in May. So I don't know if anybody has any comments, suggestions, changes. So things obviously that are not at a specific meeting don't happen at the meeting but happen during that month. That's how I tried to lay it out. No? All right, so next meeting we will talk more about that or do a final approval. I also wanted to bring up, I don't know how many of you saw it, there is a public schools license plate that is, and so the way it works is the first year you buy the plate, it's $40. 12 of that goes to the state, but 28 of it actually goes to the local school district. Now I wanna find out if it's gonna come right to the town or right into our pocket. That's a great question. Every year after that, the town gets the full $40 because it's only the cost of the plates that make it any less the first year. They have to get a thousand orders before they'll even start to run them off. So I want to, and it's a lovely little, it says PS public schools with a little apple on it. So anybody who doesn't yet have a special plate and feels like they wanna possibly give public schools, and it does go directly to your district. It doesn't go to the state in any way. Somehow it's supposed to come to the district, and so I just wanted to put a plug in for those. I think that's great. There was one mentioned to be, anyone that subscribes, be very careful that you give it to designate the school you want it to go to. School district, yeah. There's a line there that says specifically what district. And then also at our meeting, we were talking about, you may or may not be aware, they are looking at the foundation budget. And I know you had an update you said. Yes, I've been talking to John Garbley and he is trying to arrange a meeting with Senator Jalen, does that pronunciation? And we just wanted to know if anybody was interested in attending that meeting, if you let me know. Depending on what it is, it's always fun to be with Senator Jalen. I know, she's awesome. It's great. When is it? We're not sure yet. No, yeah. We're gonna try to set up a meeting because she is on that committee. John is working on it. Okay, I'd love to. Okay, so we'll let you know. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. And we don't have a next meeting set up yet. For some reason my machine just crashed. Can I borrow yours? Just with the next committee report is. Oh, is yours right here? Thank you. Go back to the paper. Community relations, Mr. Schlickman. Yeah, community relations might on October 1st we discussed the parent survey that we're going to do. The superintendent brought forth a proposal from the National Center from School Leadership which would provide the survey and actually do it, tabulate it. And the advantage of this is that you're able to compare your results to a national norm. So there's an external baseline and we're able to add 10 questions of local interest to it. And after the discussion the subcommittee was pretty confident that we should go ahead and do this. It's a superintendent's decision so it doesn't require a vote but she did want our feedback on that. We will reconvene on October 15th in this very room at 5.30 p.m. To take a look at the survey questions, to take a look at what the 10 local questions we might want to add to this would be. And we'll also talk a little about planning a parent forum that was part of the goals on the Common Core and new assessments and start talking about a district dashboard as well as planning future activities for the subcommittee. Just a quick question. Will you be bringing the, are you going to discuss those 10 questions or bring them forward for discussion with us? Yeah, that'd be great. So what's the timing on that? How's that? I don't know that we want to go and sit in a full committee meeting discussing the merits of individual survey questions. Not, I'm talking about the 10 extra that we can add. The 10 extras. Yeah, I don't know that we'd want to sit here parsing survey questions. So I would recommend folks who want input on that to come to the subcommittee meeting. Right. The only problem with it is three of us are going to be down the hall in a negotiation meeting a half hour prior to that. Well, that's okay. We can take a break because negotiations are 10 minutes on and a two hour wait, you know. No, no, wait, wait. Oh, this is a problem. Oh, you're, oh, we're. Our prep is only going to take 20 minutes. Oh, okay. Well, in any case, come on down. Yeah, okay, fine. I understand. Yeah, have fun. But, you know, this is too much sausage making for, you know, for a formal meeting. The one thing I would like to do is while I have the floor is ask for an agenda item for the next meeting. Sure. We have sent you off to be our delegate at the MASC conference. And the delegate manuals arrived in the mail. So perhaps we should have an agenda item should we wish to direct our delegate to vote on certain items. The other thing is, is that, yeah. Just to clarify, do all of you have your, what he's just talking about, the agenda items for the MASC? The delegate manual. The delegate manual. You should have got it in the mail a week or two ago, Paul. I don't know, I emptied my mailbox once a week, whether I need to or not. If you, I would ask you if you can find it. It's online on the MASC website. Okay, fine. So if we can send the link, so Karen can include it. Yeah, okay. That would be awesome. But yeah, I mean, that's, one of them is the resolution that we co-sponsored with a couple of other committees. So of course we're gonna be voting yes or no. You want me to be active for that one? Oh yeah, absolutely. And, okay, yeah. That was good. Are you getting this? Can I ask, sure. How can we find out what the questions are that are already on the survey? We'll get that as well. We hope that we'll have them by then. We had sample questions. We didn't have the full range. So hopefully, we anticipate getting them because they're gonna need to do the survey pretty quickly after that. There's a timeline that they've committed to. All right. All set? Yeah. Curriculum Instruction and Assessment Accountability. Nothing to report. The biggest one. Facilities. So we will have a meeting. And I will get the doodle out and get something that works. Great. Special study group on superintendent's valuation. I just reminded that the full committee, you have to have your valuation to me by the end of the month, okay? Electronically hard copy. I would prefer electronically. Are we sending out an electronic form for this purpose? Wait a second. We did, yes. Oh, we did? Karen sent it to everybody. Oh, really? Yes, she did. We did. So what's the deadline at the end of the month? It's supposed to be at the end of the month so I can do a compilation. I would like to put an agenda item for the next meeting for us to briefly discuss how we want to do that the 13th. Whether it's just me presenting the compilation, I would then need to give it to you all prior to it. I don't know how we're gonna do that. Again, we manage to enter new territory every year we get into this. So, a brief discussion on that. Thank you, but again. That's a good idea. I think we should get a reminder with the deadline. When to send it. I printed it and wrote on it, but I haven't. I'll speak to Karen about that and get just an email out to you all. I mean, just at the end of the month. I'll send it to you. Right, under the chair. Ms. Ampey and I went to a superintendent's coffee in Roxbury the other night. Would you like to speak a little bit to that or do you want me? Oh, I forgot I was speaking to that. So we went to, it was the Metco Superintendent's Coffee and it was awesome. We got to meet some Metco parents and some student. Was it Star District or all kinds of? It was just our district. Oh, just our district. Yeah, okay. And Margaret Thomas. Right, Margaret Thomas was there. And it was a chance for us to have conversation and answer questions with the Metco parents. There was a Q and A with Dr. Bowden. They had some really important questions related about traveling and parent conferences. They get out of work, they have their family and they're expected to be here at six o'clock. Dr. Bowden offered some suggestions she's looking into which I think would be very positive for all of us. One of the questions came up basically support for the program and from whatever from this group, we're behind it 100%. And I think they felt really, I saw Ms. Thomas the next day and she said they were very happy to hear that enthusiasm from school community members. They've heard it from Dr. Bowden in the past but to hearing that. And they're having, I'll put a pitch in for them, a fundraiser for Thanksgiving and they're making sweet potato pies. I ordered one. We have forms if anyone wants, I will pick up. So there are two types on that piece. I agree, they were very happy that you both made the effort to come in. And we also had two members of my diversity committee come in as well, which was terrific. And that gave Virginia Keynes the opportunity to tell them about the today's students, tomorrow's teachers program we have. What was surprising to me, it took 36 minutes to get from my house in there at five o'clock and it took 34 minutes to get out. So Dr. Ampney navigated, thank goodness. Because we'd be still in Boston if it was left to me. I would also like to report on a CPAC at a monthly meeting at Jason Russell House. Ms. Elmer was there, excuse me, was there also. I found it very positive. I had to leave a couple of minutes early for another meeting. I don't know if you want to say anything about it. No, I think we were shortly after you left, we had also included the meeting. However, we talked about ways to increase outreach to draw more families into the PAC, but also how to bridge families who are placed in programs in buildings that may not be their neighborhood schools, so how we can increase their sense of integration in that building. And sometimes even more for the adults, which you say, Mr. Heiner, I think the families themselves wanted to feel more included in the school in the events that that was. I personally, being involved in it for the past three years, see a lot of growth between the school and this organization in a very positive sense. At this time, I will entertain a motion to adjourn. So, is there a second? Second. All those in favor? Aye. Thank you. That's what it was.


Hello, everyone. Welcome to Open Extracture Summit. My name is Hao Wang, came from Fiber Home Company. My colleague Lin Xiangchen and I will share our topic about the edge computing today. As we know, now edge computing is developing repeatedly over the world. From 2019, the Fiber Home also has its own edge computing solution based on ThunX and other open source projects. We are trying to improve the efficiently and innovation in different areas like 5G, industrial internet, intelligent plant and so on. So in this breakout session, we will share some inference about the issues we solved and also some thinking about the future of edge computing infrastructure. Today, we are going to talk about the edge computing solution of Fiber Home, use cases and the issues we met, thinking about the future of edge computing. Okay. So first, I want to introduce the history of edge computing in Fiber Home. The Fiber Home is an internationally information and the communication network products and the solutions provider. We are focused on cloud from 2010. And then in 2018, we started up to research and develop the edge computing infrastructure cloud from plan 4. In 2019, Fiber Home joined into the Starling X community to make our contributions and also leading the China national project of edge computing research. So now we release FITOS light 2.0 plan 4 edge. From those years, Fiber Home gained some certification and awards in edge computing area, like edge cloud leading solution award in opening for China days. Participate in making three industrial standards and the white papers of edge computing to promote the development in China. With the development of edge computing, we met more and more customers requirements that we summarize them to this list. You can see there are different requests between edge cloud platform and edge node. For infrastructure hardware, there are more kinds of hardware requests for edge node than edge cloud needed. As same as the operating system. For cloud platform, basically user needs the container in washroom machine and bare mental both. But for edge node, light washroom solution is a significant request that we need to run container in bare mental, which has limited hardware resources. For operation, customer pay more attention to their low touch deployment and failure handling for remote edge nodes. In addition, AI ops technology will be brought into the edge area too. For security, we think they need a full stack security solution for both edge cloud platform and edge node. Including the net security, virtualization and the container security, data security, OS security, and so on. So to meet those requirements well. Fiber home is seeking and building the technology stack of edge computing to spot different industries application platform like electronic equipment manufacturer. We build edge cloud to work like a brain to provider the standards API to spot those applications. And also manage those age nodes, which are more closer to user. Through the different cans of network that 5G, LAN, PUN, we provide three cans of edge nodes to meet various scenarios or requests. Like edge cloud. There may also include eyes to SAS services, but more later and the flexible. Of course, the edge cloud and the node are not alone. They have interaction with other bigger and more computing power clouds. Like public cloud and enterprise management clouds owned by the user himself. To implement the full stack, we must need a reliable, flexible cloud platform. That's why we choose to develop for the field wise for edge computing based on stunning acts project. Based on it, open stack and the Kubernetes cloud could could be spotted together to provision machine containers and bare Mentos work loads. We enhanced the visualization there and the plan data to add a more components like AI option and the security control. So next, I'm pleasure to introduce my colleague Lin Xiang Chen to show you what uses case we do and the issues we met and thought. Next, let me share with you some use cases and issues encountered by the home in their edge computing field. Earlier this year, we participated in a PLC pallet project for edge cloud in a domestic telecom operator. The main requirement of this project is to deploy edge clouds into cities. These edge clouds can provide virtual machine and container services, then deploy VR and face recognition applications on the edge cloud. While the edge cloud resources are also provided for VCD and business use in the future. An edge cloud management platform will be deployed in the center city to achieve unified resource management and application management. This project is a good test for our edge cloud platform based on stunning acts. Thanks to the stunning acts community. The next edge computing application scenario we're doing is the new VR experience provided by edge cloud collaboration. Deploy edge cloud in areas close to users, install 8k VR panoramic cameras in business halls or scenic spots, and upload them to the edge cloud after being processed by the VR stitching workstation. And the VR and the user with their VR content can be obtained nearby to achieve lower latency and a better user experience. In the future, we can continue to study the use of powerful computing capabilities at the edge in combination with AI to provide users with intelligent media experience, such as free perspective and emotional perception. In the process of these edge cloud engineering implementation projects, we summarized the three scenarios and modes of the operator customers for edge cloud. In most scenarios, the edge cloud system is divided into three layers, and the top layer is the edge cloud management. It's responsible for the unified resource scheduling and management function of multiple edge clouds. This layer generally implements unified scheduling and management of two resource of open stack and the Kubernetes. The regional edge cloud in the middle layer is responsible for the processing of slightly larger edge service and the management of remote edge nodes. The bottom layer is generally a remote edge computing node or edge gateway, which is relatively lightweight implementation of the edge. Each layer is generally connected through their three-layer routing methods. Among them, the regional edge cloud in the middle is also divided into three modes, namely edge container cloud platform, edge visualization platform, edge container and virtualized co-platform. For the first two modes, both can be achieved through StarringX. While the third tab supports both container cloud and edge cloud, you need to provide a virtual machine or bare metal on the top of existing StarringX. And then implement the configuration and installation of the fifth-counter container platform. We will briefly introduce our implementation scheme later. As mentioned earlier, operators and industry edge computing have different requirements and definitions for edge cloud. In the aforementioned edge cloud POC pilot project, it is required to use the four-edge node solution. The picture on the left shows the distributed cloud solution provided by StarringX community. At the edge, it is a complete sub-cloud and with control plan functions instead of remote computing nodes shown on the right. The scenario on the right needs to extend the edge nodes and solve the three-layer routing communication problem. Therefore, we implemented it based on secondary development of StarringX. The StarringX work node is deployed and configured across layers 3 under the agreed time delay of 50 milliseconds. It reasonably solved the problem of the remote computing nodes. We encountered a need during the implementation process in the development process using all-in-one or standard mode. When there are more than 10 computing nodes, the application apply of StarringX OpenStack failed. The error prompted is that Amanda deploys OpenStack Neutron HelmChart failed. After investigation and analyzing, it was found that the reason was that they are in their HelmChart of OpenStack Neutron. Their relevant configuration items of Neutron agents of the computing nodes were duplicated, which caused Amanda's integrity manifest file to exceed the one megabyte size limit of ADCD. Therefore, the way to fix this problem is to extract the common configuration items of Neutron server and the Neutron agents by modifying their charts of OpenStack Helm Neutron. The next issue we encountered is IPv6 dual stacks in the current transaction from IPv4 to IPv6. Customers such as operators have increasingly urgent demands for IPv6 dual stack. However, the current StarringX community support for IPv6 is slightly insufficient and basically does not support dual stack. Therefore, we focused on this feature starting from the configuration of StarringX system in network configuration to enabling feature gates of IPv6 dual stack in Kubernetes and then to Calico dual stack configuration. Then modified the relevant charts of OpenStack Helm configured to dual stack of OpenStack and finally realized that the virtual machine or port container can obtain IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. The configuration on the left is the result of their final modification, as well as parameter configuration items when deploying control 0. We mentioned these three scenarios and the most of the eight clouds in some cases. The ice virtualization management platform already exists at its age. Therefore, customers needs to deploy their Kubernetes container platform inside their OpenStack virtual machine or bare metal. Our fit count container platform is based on StarringX because StarringX block service is a very good solution to the reliability and operation and maintenance of Kubernetes-based basic services. So we need to try to install StarringX Kubernetes container again in the virtual machine or bare metal provided by the containerized OpenStack in StarringX. In response to this problem, we started with OpenStack starting the PXC boot virtual machine, modified the StarringX kickstart script, then used heat template to create OpenStack virtual machine and network resources. And finally, implemented the StarringX next year deployment using StarringX deployment manager, which called 0.proverning. Okay, that's all for the introduction of the second part. Give the rest to my colleague, Hao Wang. Thank you, everyone. Okay, thank you, Lin Xiang. Next, I will introduce what we are thinking about the future of edge computing. What important point we should concern next step? As we all know, security is more important point that we should focus on, especially in edge. Note that those big data centers, it is more complex and harder to protect those edge cloud or node. So we think there are five layers that we need to pay attention, which is physical environment, computing environment, boundary of cloud, network and management. There is also needing a stack of security technologies to be considered. So as this stack showing, we consider the edge cloud platform should have security protection features from bottom layer to top layer. Most of the features we have done, but still some works needed to implement, like the data security management, which is including the security configuration, security policy management, security alert, so on. Okay, that's all we want to share with you. Thank you, everyone. Bye.
