It's been an honor just to be here with everyone, especially in the conversations I've had around the table and to the guest house. And as I prepared to come and share with you all, I wasn't sure what exactly it was that I needed to say. Yes, what was it that I contributed to the conversation? I certainly can't do it. Just to tell you what I think everyone should be doing. You'll get a little bit out of it, but out of that is what we call the anti-baptist community. So I grew up in a place called Northtown, Pennsylvania. Northtown is a kind of a unique place to grow up. It was outside Philadelphia, but it wasn't like the rest of the town. There's this small, urban, multiracial community there.  That's what I included. Also I migrated to various schools, spaces, rubbing shoulders, mental health, from all different backgrounds. My particular community, right through our lives, was primarily African-American, but Northtown was not that big. Everybody. And then space. Of course Northtown was kind of perfect, but it was illegal to make it like, oh, so then it started to show, you know, bubble from the rest of the world. And yet, I mean, in a very early age, I saw things going on, even in my middle school, there were like, tracks, like, similar type of schools as well.  But the top tracks always were like almost all whites. And then, you know, everybody was with both blacks. There were a lot of tracks. I mean, so you see how race, how racialized people are in public schools just in this kind of thing. My family, I have two brothers and a older sister, and we got along. That's not true. But I grew up in a family. We loved to be company with Ryan. And every Sunday, we would finally be heading to church. The story of when I was probably four or five years old, I came running down the steps into the kitchen. Preachings of the gospel! I became a preacher. I did. That's where I gained a lot of my identity, the proof I was. This was a community that loved me and received love and affirmed who I was. It nurtured me and it saw in me gifts that I didn't see in myself. It produced me to Jesus. Certainly, Jesus loved people. And they taught me, this community taught me to take scripture seriously. It was through that community that I felt, you know, the sense of calling towards my high school years and wanted to take up biblical studies. And so, working around with all my different options, I found this place called Messiah College in Central PA. It was just far enough and I didn't get a little space, but I knew I could get help if I needed to. So, I found myself in Central PA, a grand film pencil, and I was sleeping freshman year horrified when I got here. Thank you. This might have been the worst decision I've ever made in my life. I got a place in a religious oriented and culture shock. I was still a fairly outgoing person at that time, so I adjusted. I adapted. I did well. I connected with my friends. And I was also a quiet observer of everything that was going on all around me. Slowly began to realize that the faith that I had seemed to be a little bit different than the common faith of the folks around me. Something was just different. I remember one particular chapel. And we had a guest speaker by the name of John Deere, who came in. And this is right after, I was living in 2000, 2000, of course. This is right after the war in 911 on that day. And so, John Deere is speaking correctly against, you know, old, white people, and the patrons didn't know the blindness that the blind has from seeing who Jesus was. They were like, yeah, this is really good stuff. And this is not the stuff that I was raised hearing in my own church for saying, but it just rings true. And while I'm there on the edge and I see like, yeah, it's right. I notice all of a sudden there's this mass exodus that's taking place. There's hundreds of students that are getting up and protests. They're being offended by this sermon and leaving. It was the most abrupt thing I had seen the whole time of the Messiah. I was trying to understand what was going on. What was it about what I had been discipled and informed into that had me have a very different kind of response to what the faith said. I hope to say that at Messiah, I didn't become an Anabaptist, but I did get an Anabaptist seat. Google studies major and I got to study with some folks that challenged me and stretched me and maybe look at things a little differently. But I remember particularly one, I was in my junior year and I found myself in my student apartment struggling, struggling with all the different ways that people justify through the Scriptures, every single one. Everything being justified by the Scriptures. Everyone had a verse. So I just struggled and I prayed over the Scripture. The Bible is there. I'm struggling. How can I read this faith? How can I read this text? I really believe that the Spirit of God opened my eyes at that moment. It was at that moment that I kind of had this what many people call the terminated Christ that the life and teachings of Jesus, what the Scriptures were all coming towards and the lens in which we read and interpret Scripture through. All the books kind of shifts that were taking place. I was wrestling with what it meant to be black in this space. And this was probably still, to this day, one of the most hardest spaces that I had to navigate as a black man. That's the one thing that my church didn't prepare me for. It didn't prepare me how to engage white Christians. It didn't tell me that that was going to be the primary space that I was going to be in stars from. It was on this campus being black. It wasn't simply being African-American because they loved the African students. It was the African-American students on the story that were the thugs that had to prove our humanity over and over again, prove that we were worthy of being loved and respected. And the sub-accompanies, the micro-aggressions, the dreams, I have to say, was paper cuts. Each one seemed so minor, but by the end of it, you might get a thousand paper cuts. I did, however, know I was trying to just adapt and have fun enjoying my college experience. I remember taking a road trip with some friends. We had one friend who was from Washington State from a middle of nowhere in Washington State. I didn't really believe him until we dropped him off. We went to the drop-off. That's the middle of nowhere. It was a fun trip. We kind of let go of the world. We kind of forgot about all the problems in the world, which is kind of living in our little fantasy world as we call it, across the nation, right? Some kind of rush more in all these different places. Yeah, it was a fun trip. And while I was there enjoying this kind of free college life, towards the end of the trip, because we left, I got a phone call. I found that my brother had been arrested. What we found out soon was that he'd been arrested. He was hanging out late at night. And I guess a few blocks away, not too far, some crime was committed. And so the cops were out with the jokobot, and the jokobot second time, and your parents only stopped. And they went to my brother and arrested him because he meant the description.  He had a high description, no confession, no confess. My brother spent several weeks in the process of that search rate. Eventually all charges were dropped because they got hit by an apology. But I got a distraction in the last second. But for me, it was significant. I mean I knew that this stuff happened, but it was a little close to home. And this was the brother he could hear over the day. I don't think people sometimes ask me where twins. But I felt a lot of a new sense of vulnerability that had never felt before. That changed me. And that changed the... I haven't talked about racism, but it changed how I approached conversations going forward. Towards the very things during my last semester, I got a phone call. I don't know if it's one of the households who built the next mental pathway for our church. Well, Pastor Woody called me, because he wanted to come to meet me on campus. So he heard it pretty much. He comes to campus and he tells me about what's going on in their Christian community. He explains that they're an urban, multiracial, and a Baptist congregation there in the city of Harrisburg. He tells me this story about how this church was built. And it was an all-white church, and an all-white neighborhood, and, you know, white-white gang, just like many cities in the neighborhood changed. Most churches in the Gulf, but they remained in how they were struggling in China to become this racially recognized community of the mission of urban. And they're partnering with this, and they can all do the things that they're doing and stuff. And it was actually, we had a great conversation. And so a month after I graduated, there was the Mass of Harrisburg Ramblin Christ Church. And I didn't go because it was an anti-Fat congregation. I was resting at home. I don't want to dig into this additional grace in the church. I figured that we had serious problems, but we've got to work with them. This church was trying to make some room that was going to be the head of the power of leaders in the church. So 205 of us were having American leaders in the church in the process. I would say this church drastically changed when I got here from the last, I was living four years, as in fact, this worship, and just really allowing those who are a part of the congregation to shape the life of the church design. And I still remember long back just the lives. There was a people that blessed me and served me on the shoots of how I understand who Jesus is and what it is to be a follower of Jesus. And it was in this organic, you know, anti-Fat community, I know that this was an anti-Fat community in the past, this sort of thing. It was in this space, it began to unconsciously shape my own faith, kind of subtly, without me realizing it. And at the same time, though, I wasn't necessarily charmed by becoming anti-Fat. If anybody asked me, even while I was there, I meant anti-Fat is not said to know. I was reading, primarily, Black theology, critical race studies, and reconciliation aspects. That's what I was interested in. So I decided that I wanted to continue my education and ended up leaving after four years and heading back to Philadelphia. I went to biblical seminary, and as I just mentioned, that I was going to do with American concentration. This is the first time that, you know, entire education actually was in a classroom, primarily back in America. It's just a great space for me, as we progress through the questions that lead into our community. And yet, there was even a long side of some folks who were really leaving for sister churches, like them from the early on. In this space, I started calling myself an anti-Fat person. I realized I had changed. The community had impacted, left its marks on the information that happened that's taking place while I was there. And I wanted to acknowledge, be honest about my journey, but it also impacted me and my faith. I wanted to pay tribute to that information that took place both on the side and in Pittsburgh. I also began to run into some folks there who called themselves Neil Capats. Our cohort, you know, was black. We would sometimes study another cohort called the Mane Kings, which would have been mostly whites that were in the cohorts. And so, like, that felt, you know, what they were about, you know, mostly when we get into white middle class, highly educated males, mostly from the suburbs who are always kind of engaging and running across. And it seems, this is my interpretation, I don't think it's just there, this is broader, but it seems that a lot of them were coming, getting to there through initial theology first, but then standing how it was lost. That seemed to be, like, the trend. There's the courage to bring that back to me in my very own ways. But that's a theory. It's my working theory. But I also got these invites to speak at some of these spaces and got to a bunch of other conferences and you went back to concrete. Not being honest, I never felt like I fully fit in those worlds. While I was, again, back in theory, studying my black brother and sister, I started to think about some metadata in the orphanages. And so, and back to the Mane Kings, but I haven't spent seven years in Mane Kings. And unfortunately, either Messiah nor biblical, he didn't believe that Messiah was one of the Mane discipleship. I also began engaging about some fundamental people in Mane Kings. This group was a surprise of black, female, white, Asian, and a faculty. There's all throughout the Philadelphia area. And I'll say, like, I feel like, you know, you're my power. I've come to really value and love such a wide and diverse range of ways that, again, baptism is being expressed in the city there. I've said, I love Jesus. I'm seeking to follow Jesus. Struggling. Oh, struggling. But they're just unique and fresh. It's a Russian language. It's huge, unique. They speak in a pretty shabarous way in the city. Yeah. It's been a life-giving space for me. I've also, mentioned that I belong in Mane Kings, so I have too many places that I can post blogs if I wanted to. But, in the most part, I've been in Mane Kings for a long time. And trying to do so from a Black and a Baptist perspective, how can these two students speak into their everyday life and different issues that have come about. And I've also gotten to the food head meeting all kind of the folks. I'm going to show some of them. I've got the burden that Americans may be having. But, for whatever reason, they reached out to me. They were part of this blog. I agree. But I've gotten to connect with a whole variety of folks throughout the country over Mane and Mane and Baptist. And I've gotten to meet other folks. How do I meet some Black folks that are in the Black church and influence Mane and Baptist? Actually, a lot of them alluded to me that they have no interaction with the historic Mane and Baptist church. But they're not reflective of Mane and Baptist women. They don't identify themselves with those folks. So, they seem to really resonate a lot with what I'm doing because they're trying to get their space where they belong. So, for me, I've been wrestling with these questions and trying to make sense of who I am and the various things that have formed me. I often say that my illness in the KTV program is more about counseling. I mean, working out my own issues. But I've been able to focus on Black psychology and in fact, there's two traditions, there's two traditions that were born in the crucifix effort. You know, right? I mean, it's the social orders that try to literally crush them. They were to re-imagine who Jesus was following in the midst of being told that you can see there's this violence persecutor or a slave holding the Wilson lady bastard. They dare not see other lives. And so, in fact, these two Jesus are non-resistant Jesus and Africans Jesus, that was their close doctor. I think it's their friends, right? They're a liberator and a friend that they can call up and have a trouble with. And so, I want to happily engage with these two traditions and try to make sense of how these all come together. For all the church, how do we mutually learn from one another? Just one way of relationship. But a two-way relationship. So our theme, right, is where culture blurs theology. Hmm. Where culture blows theology. I kind of went back and forth when I like that phrase where culture blurs theology. And I went back and forth. I like it, I don't like it, I like it, I don't like it. It's an interesting way of moving forward. I'm sure I've over-analyzed the way that I'm going to shoot. But I think in thinking about it, I think it does actually provide some help in having some conversation. It's important to acknowledge that culture and theology are always worried. There are no places in which one's theology is not the only way to culture. Everyone's theology is the most of their particular place of time in some form or fashion. Everyone's theology is situated. I think what I didn't like about the phrase was the word culture being there without any adjective before us. That's what I think I didn't like about it. What culture? Ooh, culture. Culture in the culture. Culture in the new show. It's not just about difference either. We can think about culture primarily on the main difference, the celebrated difference. And that's important. It's not the only aspect of culture. And I'll get into it. So I had one of my friends connect to him to get to know me. And so we ended up in the middle of the afternoon at this McDonald's to have some sweet tea and chat. So there we are. We're chatting with Thomas for a little bit. But then he makes this movie traveling the cups and puts it right in the middle of the table. I can't see what's on my side of the cup. And you can't see what's on my side of the cup. I need you to tell me what's on your side of the cup and I'll tell you what's on my side of the cup. So I was like, that's very nice. I said, there's one problem with your attitude. The truth matters. I know it's on your side of the cup. Well, I wouldn't be right in today if I didn't know what was on your side of the cup. I've had to know what white people are thinking in the room. But you haven't had to know my experience. You haven't had to know black experience and black culture. Black pain. Your job is not going to be right in the moment you know about another consciousness in Du Bois. It's also black folk. You don't have to have an opinion about the shifts of hip hop in the 80's and eventually get a job. Right? So there's a way in which, yes this is, you know, different but there's also a hierarchical way in which culture functions and there's power relating to it. It's a hegemonic reality. It has to be named. That has to be called. But as precisely as that, I'm going to decide I like the phrase again. I don't think the word is a fair culture whereas it got to be an open philosophy. If you're at the top last playing, Grand Bois, Krav Maga, this is probably a reader's response. I'm sure this is not the intense of the original writers like Krav Maga's play. But where culture learned this through that was the question of where a social location of situatedness within a society that is hierarchical, a particularly heavy place of locations of power that I think our discussion around anabaptism can have some importance in it. Now of course, the other question is about where the culture learned this theology from anabaptist theology in this particular setting. What anabaptism? There's never been any anabaptist's theology, right?  Very different than the relative to the breaking off whose the very church is a critique against the social order. Very different understandings. Contemporary anabaptists as well and multiple anabaptists understandings of what it is to be anabaptist. What is anabaptism? And what I'm trying to suggest is not that we need to have sort of a modernist unifying perspective that everyone must agree on but at the same time I think we don't have to be honest about what do we mean when we say anabaptist. Not just pretending that all hands are in maybe all hands are not in. Right? Maybe some of our visions are conflicting. I think we need to have an honest conversation about what do we mean when we say anabaptist. Certainly if you know what I'm talking about I'd rather be Christ or some brother than a brother hall and with an each group and you've got multiple with an each of anabaptists we're very that first group that first expression of anabaptism and again I don't think it's necessarily a problem we must also realize that not everyone that embodies anabaptist faith in Christ is doing so in a complementary fashion. So what's been talked about a lot is that I've got some thoughts about what's the relationship between the anabaptist and the real anabaptist that's what we're doing. We want to have that conversation and I have my own thoughts I really believe that both you know anabaptist movement we call it that and the midnight church must engage with another both critically. I'm not a fan of the new kids on the block or the saviors of anybody I really don't see films that way and I get concerns of laughing when we have that kind of conversation in which the new anabaptist of the city is a fun and particularly problematic because of my own experience of what I've seen I think that there needs to be a mutual engagement and dialogue because of what we're finding particularly I'll talk about my own experience of what I've seen in the new anabaptist space it doesn't quite fit quite the same as what Greg Moore was calling about my own experience and his church taking exception there's always exceptions to the rule but I've seen that the new anabaptist space is a very white space very white space and uncritically so not weird necessarily of what they're bringing to the table so they're very conscious of men in a culture but not very conscious of their own culture and everyone has a culture everyone is socialized right and so jumping from evangelical world to the new anabaptist they still bring in also some cultural perspectives what is the baggage that they bring to the new anabaptist particularly as it relates to race I mean certainly sure there's ways we can critique the men in our church but but the evangelical church has some serious baggage to work through still as it relates to race and racism in our church I don't think we can just assume that everything they bring to the table is just something that we should assume and follow the line it needs to be a more dialogical, more critical engage I've been in spaces where I've seen this past fall someone tell me already know this past fall I was in diagonal with some anabaptists who were organizing events and it was centered all around white men and if you regularly went into how to get a diverse group to this event and I'm like well let's break up the decision making power this is excellent women and some people of color at the table that'll be a good start and let's not censor everything around white men they weren't willing to do so one of the reasons like that was because these are the people that are leading the conversation and my only response is leading your conversation your multiple conversations taking place I've been in a lot of different anabaptist spaces and this is the only space where I submit only being led by white men it's the only space no women of color were even participating in the event at all at the tea store I decided to workshop there I joke that I won the lottery I got to speak for black women but I chose well it was in September it was literally a week prior it was the black men and white women rock conference right and in two weeks it could be an urban mass symposium in Zilly which was again extremely diverse so we had these pockets happening in the men and white church where there is space for people of color right and I don't think all women are going to take credit for their pockets they're going boom but there's things happening there's some real stuff happening and I've noticed that it happens there's way too much space it'll need to we pay attention to some of the issues the struggles in the men and white church through the 20th century there's some lessons that women church has been wrestling throughout the 20th century there's a lot of fear and a lot of reflection I don't think it's healthy for them to just see themselves as the new benefactors or the saviors running by girls not to say that they don't bring something into the conversation they do, absolutely but it's got to be a mutual exchange that people are all in I was at an Hope for the Future I was invited to speak on Friday and so I wanted to just be there and surprise a couple people that I actually knew that was there from here on some of the stories some of the pain and frustration men and white people of color in the men and white church and the various challenges they faced in particular as it leads to control over the men and white space of institutions at the very top it seems to be the strong or just how dominance that refuses to let go and share life with those who join this church the perpetual overseers of what it means to be a men and white that's the left work so yes, on one hand men and white church is 20% men and white and that's the right work but on the other ethnic men and whites of practice prioritize the names and insiders and be defensive over the tradition and I'm not going to suggest that men and whites discard their traditions I don't think the problem is that's not the problem the issue is can we enter into a mutual relationship in which people that come into the church actually shape and shape and transform who we are collectively and mutually it's a two-way relationship and that's what the pattern happens is that in the men and white church this is a colonizing kind of way of being expecting everyone to assimilate so it's one way so we're seeing that people are willing to come in and receive but it doesn't seem to be functionally both ways so that what is men and white should be changing constantly we should not have this conversation so we certainly have to be moving with this privileging of ethnic federally heritage in the church it's my thing to recognize who we come from it's great to be telling stories of who we come from it's a whole lot of things to be privileging people based on the history but that seems to go very against what most of us say we love about men and white it's voluntary so what I see in one of the channels of the men and white church is a minority mentality because of the distinctions of men and white but not only up to also the simultaneously that men and white have assimilated into the ethnic culture that all the benefits of being white in the American culture is right minority mentality in one hand and yet assimilating and benefiting from all that goes along with being white in the downing culture as well and so my that doesn't seem right my I mean, certainly in that community that works but my my fear is that a large portion of together that movements, leather sex is turning its eyes towards the most privileged in our society as the kind of voices which we want to separate everything around and in doing so turning our backs away from the most vulnerable in our society so I've come to a term called Blackism I don't know what Blackism Blackism but I don't see my stuff necessarily as the floor coming it's just naming ethnic minority and actually many of you should know that in 1976 he was brown for the men night church and he had a challenge for the men night church he saw this steady move to assimilating into the downing culture and so he went to a distinct man night church from an baptism he challenged so while the men night church is assimilating into the downing culture Black overcatchin' hell we're an instrument in the 70s men night church recapture and will actually refund their more faithful expression and then have to tap into the Black theology of that movement that was going on and the struggle against the injustice that was going on in society and he did believe in mutual but coming together but he said men night church especially moving mostly in the downing culture can find a vision for ethnic baptism rooted in the concrete life of oppressed marginalized people and then doing so can rediscover an ethnic Baptist witness for today that mirrors more how they talk about ethnic baptism in the past that the very lives was a critique against the social not an affirmation of this that's about many of us many folks have been to that so I think in a baptism of Neo-Anchor he said completely their analysis of assimilation and complicity of the social order devastating the lives of those on the margins and so I believe that Jesus himself who's leading who's always been Jesus who came alongside stood with the Samaritans and vulnerable women and for the poor identified with them and this Jesus that is also leading us today in presence and calling us being us to come and it's this Jesus that is subversive I always I don't know my favorite past I always talk about Luke 13 31 and 35 the parents is kind of one Jesus that Herod was a hero he said go tell that fox I I said come on the ground healing and the storm those who are broken and hurt this is the Jesus that the spirit of the Lord is a common because he's known to me for a good news to the poor right to release the captives to let the oppressed go free thank the year to those so that's the vision this Jesus has called us to a new life reconfiguration of social relationships a new embodiment a struggle against the social order that kills especially black and brown life so anyway I'm running out of time I really believe that's the power of the culture but then also particularly I do my work the baptism in my proposal I think I meant that church more than the black church I think you're right I think you're right I do think I think you're right but I do think that there's something there there's really a dialogue but it doesn't mean I'm talking about black that's the life story of my experience but it's whatever oppressed communities are in your neighborhood in Canada not coming alongside the indigenous populations they're in Canada Hispanic brothers and sisters in your community coming alongside them I believe that's part of discipleship following the Jesus that if you got your eyes on him you're off to me get to your eyes on those who he had his eyes on


I mean, that's pretty well understood. The problem is the road for the whole of the band in the car. I just had to do some major off-roading to get to the house. Hi. First of all, a warning. This talk was mostly intended for people who are planning on contributing to infrastructure and gives a very high overview of how we're running things. So if you're not interested in that, I would suggest you to go to one of the other interesting talks. Just a warning.  I'm just warning. Well, if you have serves in the data center, why not? So first of all, what do we do? There's sometimes a lot of confusion about what we do and what we do not do. What we do is we host a lot of services, like the Fedora websites, the Wiki, the mailing lists, the tools you use to actually build and contribute to Fedora, like Koji, the package maintainership stuff. We also use a lot of services internally, FedMessage, for example, of which the author is sitting right there, Rolf, which we use for managing internal stuff and kicking stuff up. We run a Fedora infrastructure cloud for a lot of testing stuff and other stuff to help the community. We run some web services which are not Fedora specific. Some of you might know them, Peggy or Fedora Hosted, which we run for the rest of the Fedora community. But most importantly, we do not run your own home machines. You will be surprised how often we get people in Fedora admin asking, hey, help me with Fedora server. I've just installed it. We are not there to help you for that. Oh, actually, the beggar author also just arrived. Actually, you just wanted to tell me how to pronounce it. Oh, yeah. Bagheera? Bagheera? Bagheera? OK. Yeah. Bagheera. Yeah, a lot of people have that. He's French, and he thought it up. Also, if you have any questions during the talk, just let me know. Because as I said, I'll be at a pretty high level. If you have more in-depth questions, just let me know. So the places we host stuff, we have two data centers hosted by Red Hat in Phoenix and in Rally, where most of the stuff is located. Rally is mostly a download and backup site for us. So when you download Fedora from the master mirrors, you might end up there. Pretty much all of our services further are hosted in Phoenix. And we have a bunch of donated machines, as I said to you, hosted by companies which just have provided us with one or two machines where we host part of the infrastructure used to get stuff close to you. My suggestion is, anyway, try to also grab slides and cover the screen. Say again. This dog tries also to get the slide properly and cover it properly. Is he guessing you stand right there when you're talking? Yeah. Right. I will have to walk here. OK, yeah. No, it's using cheese. So I don't think so. And apparently when I stand here, it can't even see my face. Let's see if that works. It does work, actually. Cool. Thank you. Yeah, who figured that this would actually work? So we have a lot of data centers all around the world where we host most of the, sorry, where we host most of the reverse proxies to which I will come in a bit. We also have, so most of these machines are just normal machines that are hosting our stuff. We also have in Phoenix a infrastructure cloud which is based on OpenStack. We have actually two of them. We set up one, I don't know how many years ago, two or three years ago with OpenStack. Very long ago, Folsom, whenever we asked for support, we always get it told, like, no, don't use it. Everyone's given up on it. But we actually set up a new instance a few months ago with right on OpenStack platform now. So actually we're now running a supported release which might, which would actually help us. This setup is used for, as I said, a lot of internal testing and development instances by developers. We're also hosting instances for Buildbot and we're hosting Jenkins instances here and copper runt on this, which is a very interesting combination to which I'll come in a bit because it has given us a lot of pain. Copper is very nice for the users. For maintainers, it's a bit annoying at times. Sorry? Yeah, which is exactly caused by what causes us to pain. So you did also build builds randomly and then build successfully if you resubmit it. Right. The same exact source aren't being able to know how to use it. Right, but most of the time it works. It's not very repeatable and it has some bugs, but most of the time it works all the time. Could I just suggest that you make that the team motto right now? Sorry? Most of the time it works. It already for structure, most of the time it works. That's a very good one, maybe. But Paul, how about it? Most. All about metrics. Sorry? All about metrics. I see. More than 40% of the time it works. Zero nine. Yeah, perhaps. Five eight sometimes. Okay, so this is what we're hosting, but this doesn't come automatically. As I said, this misses some parts. Let's try it. Let's try it anyway. Our main data center is in Phoenix, Arizona. We have 22 virtual hosts there. We have the master middlers for download.project.org are located there. Actually know that DL download is forward to middlers. We also have the build hosts here for Koji, and a lot of other related stuff used by the infrastructure team. The other site we have as a main data center is Rally, where we host the backups off-site, and we have the other download middlers there. And that's where we had internet to middlers, which we actually shut down a few months ago, because we weren't getting enough bandwidth. Sorry? Yeah, but the link we had was not very high quality. So we also have some remote data centers where we get donated machines from other companies. We use them as service hypervisors on which we run proxies, reverse proxies. We host middle lists, and we host DNS servers so that they all are local to where you want them, because our DNS actually has a split horizon based on your approximate region where you're coming from so that when you're from Europe, you're most likely to get a European proxy sent here. Also, at some data centers where we actually got more servers, OSUSL and dedicated solutions come to mind, we run other services like Fedora People, Fedora Hosted, and some that we cannot run in Phoenix too, like torrent servers, because Reddit will not allow us to. They will not allow us to open those ports. Makes sense, but... So these are all hosted in remote data centers on machines donated by other companies, for which we are very thankful. Are you saying it? Anicha? Right. Yeah, in fact, you're... I think also, that's all at OSUSL. So, in our... the services we run in, for example, the websites, our websites are actually not... Oh. Websites maintainer, Robert Mayer. If you want to help build the websites, ask him. He can help you point in the right direction. They're not dynamic. They're actually built statically every 30 or something minutes. Hourly. Hourly, I had just heard. And then synced out from the build server to all of our reverse proxies, so that the proxies themselves can answer the main websites so that the traffic for that doesn't have to go all the way back to the main data center in Phoenix. This also helps, because as I said before, you often get a mirror or a proxy that's close to your location, which means that your actual... when you request the website, it will come from pretty near you instead of all the way across the Atlantic sometimes. Although we don't have any data centers in the Asian region, if you know any, please let us know. Another service we run in all of our data centers is the MetaLink services. That's used by Yum to actually get your closest mirror so that the MetaLink actually gets a list or determines your approximate position based on IP address, finds the correct or finds the closest up-to-date mirrors in its database and sends you the list of that, including the correct check-ins for the Yum data files. The crawling happens centrally in Phoenix too, but then every hour or something, we create a new centralized or a database file which we sync out to all of the remote sites so that you can actually get that faster and it's more distributed over the world. One of the most interesting parts of our setup is how we use or how we host web applications. I've been thinking very hard about how to illustrate this, but let's try it. Our web applications are actually hosted in Phoenix too in our main data center, but they are being served to you through our reverse proxies, which are in the satellite data centers, or Phoenix too. These colors are very hard to see. As soon as you request one of our web applications, your computer will send a request to the proxy server, which will then terminate the TLS connection, so that's where your TLS connection ends. After that, it all goes through a private VPN we run, but internally the drive goes all this HTTP so that the backend servers don't actually need to spend time on processing HTTPS requests. Also, all of the proxies run a local load balancer daemon so that every request you send gets sent to either one of the application servers for the application requested. So we have two servers for, for example, Nuan Xie. Is that how you pronounce it? Sorry? That's enough. Okay. You should, you'd need to tell me how to pronounce it sometime. But, so we have two servers for Nuan Xie. We have two servers for package database. They are all individual virtual machines. An advantage of using that is that we can update one of them while the server itself stays up because the load balancers will all hit the other proxy that has not gone offline. The only part that in here that is tricky is our database instances because we have just a single database backend. So if there's a big schema update, the servers might still need to go down, but otherwise package updates should be, should be able to happen without any users noticing it. All of the proxies, so all of the proxies are actually running a local varnish cache as well so that static files for applications or wiki pages are actually cached at the proxy so that they don't need to be shipped all around the world and they don't change that often. We don't cache dynamic pages when you're locked in. So for example, package database and Nuan Xie, when you're locked in, it's no longer being cached, but if you're locked out, since your page will look the same for everyone else, it will get cached on the proxy. You do not have caches on the application servers only on the proxies. So after it passes through the local cache, it will pass through HAProxy, which is the load balancing service we use. After that, it will get sent back on to the backend in Phoenix 2, maybe all across the world, from Europe to the US and back and then back to you. So are there any... Where on that diagram does that happen? Certainly which part? Suppose they hit the proxy in Europe. Where in that diagram is the transatlantic network? Right. So your request comes in at the proxy, HAPachy, in Europe. The proxy runs varnish, the proxy runs HAProxy, and this line is transatlantic. So the line from the HAProxy to the backend server, in this case, the green line, which might not be very visible. So the line is not the scale? Sorry? The line is not the scale? No. Well... That might take 3,000 months. Yeah. It might even be, I don't know, a lot, but yeah. Any other questions about our reverse proxy setup? Because this is what is quite difficult for a lot of people, because it also makes developing applications more difficult, because they actually need to support load-balanced setups. Like you can't store anything in a local disk without using some sort of synchronization for which we often use Gluster if needed, and otherwise we try to put everything in a database. If I were to decide, if I were to create a new cool Fedora application, or an application that does something support and I want to run it on this infrastructure, is there a documentation that leads me through it and says you have to do this if you want to set up studies plans? Yes. Or do I have to go and try and ask you all the time? No, we have a... So you mean what you will need to do to get something in our infrastructure, right? Not to get it, firstly code it so it will be compatible. Right. I don't think we have any documentation for that, but as long as you don't use the local file system, you should be pretty much fine. So basically no file uploads inside the application? Right. And if you do need that, which for example, asked us for a project with org-dust, we have the two nodes share a Gluster instance that synchronizes the file systems. Sorry? Open sheath.line. Right. Where there is the option to use that code or is that helpful? So we use... So we use OpenShift online for just status through a project at org. Since that needs to be stored outside of our infrastructure. I mean, otherwise we can't tell you what's wrong. But the rest is all inside of our infrastructure and hosted by us. There are some things that run on OpenShift but we just kind of throw it online and say, well, that's not the infrastructure problem. Yeah. Any other questions, Pierre? I thought you had something. So one of our services that are used across the board for every other application is our identity service, which is, as I said, is used by every one of our applications. It uses authentication against the account system. The applications themselves use OpenID to connect to the identity server. If you want to hear more, I would suggest you to visit Rob Crittendenstock tomorrow in this room because this time he's the one talking about OpenID and federated identity. But basically it's a central server where everyone logs into. We'll probably have seen it. It's the login screen for pretty much every web application we have at this point. Yes. Everything.  Are you trying to move over? You can, but you will need to do some things locally to get it to accept insecure things. Which I would suggest you not to do, so I will not tell you how to do it. Does anybody talk to the red-head bugzilla about allowing OpenID logins to their bugzilla so we can stop having separate accounts? Yes. We have a ticket open on that. I don't even know if bugzilla supports it, honestly. Well, it does. Bugzilla has a plug-in for it. It had been unresponded to for, I think, over a year. And if I recall correctly, one or two months ago, we got an update saying we are now looking into adding it to the process. So, who knows? Who knows what's going to happen if you want to. I can send you the ticket number. I can search for it unless it's private. Yeah, I think it's public. We're trying to do less for a page than that. Okay. You're one of the maintainers? I don't want to, but I did work in the office with the guys. Ah, I see. Because it's a great problem. Yeah. All I know is that they suddenly responded, we're now looking into it. Okay. We'll see what goes on and what happens. So, unfortunately, I don't have a clear answer to that yet. That's fine. At least someone asked. Yeah. The other thing that we have to change, because currently it's, you know, in terms of federal project ideas, as it's emailed, that's home of an ID account. But it's an account site, so it's not very useful for us. Right. For this specific request, or on a specific post, which is a feature that we are already, well, it's related to some other features we're already working on. First of all, and second question is, well, maybe you should ask him outside of the talk, because he's the fast maintainer. And there's been a lot of talk about having free IPA as fast. I think the current plan is that we're, since fast three is so far along, we're going to move to fast three. And after that, look if we can migrate to free IPA, because that's going to take a long time to actually move, because it will not be compatible with any of the interface we have at this moment. Right. Yeah. And we heard that, that got pretty much ready now. Right. But we still will have to modify every other, every other applications. So what is the right time to have this conversation with us? We need to understand if we have these ideas, then anything else that we need to do to make these migrations smaller? I think that we should just come together with your and our team and see what we can do here. I mean, we have multiple days here at Flock. Okay. Okay. So one of our other services that probably a lot of people know about is Copper. We, it's two parts, or actually three, but I'm glossing over the third, the key gen part. We have a front end, which is the part that you actually see and where you're actually seeing the 50, 50 weighting builds that are crashed. We have the back end that actually should pick them up and doesn't, and which makes you see those 50 missing builds. All of those built, so what the back end basically does is it retrieves the current list of two build items. It submits, it picks the first one of them. It spins up an instance in OpenStack which tries to build it and should report back. So, most of the time this works, but at some times we get issues where the Copper builders are not getting cleaned up and that's what you see when you are seeing 50 or sometimes 200 weighting builds. So, and one of the reasons we spin up so many is every single build gets a new virtual machine which has the advantage that it is very separate, so one build does not impact any of the other builds. It does have the disadvantage that we spin up so many instances that we tend to hit OpenStack bugs that a lot of people would not hit probably. Sorry? That's true. Is there anything that anybody can do to help with that? So, and generally packages in Copper? Yeah, sure. Well, I know some of us have access, but I don't want to do my covers. Well, no, so... Is there an SOB for resetting that?  So, you won't be able to do that unfortunately, but the issue is also, it's caused by Copper not shutting down its builders completely. So if you just talk to them and try to fix them, their issues, you would make me very happy because I spend approximately one or two hours a week on this. So, there's quite a lot of services. How do we manage this? Because we're obviously not logging into every service to set up everything manually and that would not scale at all. We use Ansible for that. The repository for that is publicly available. Link is there, but it's also easily findable by just entering in your favorite search engine, Google... Ansible. Ansible actually creates the entire virtual machines. So the only part that we manually install are physical machines, which is kick-started. After that, Ansible kicks up installation of any virtual machines to find, which makes it very easy to set up a new server. Was actually running on the physical servers. This is around 6 or 5? At around 7, most of them now. Some are still stuck at around 6 because they have very interesting edge cases. Like, we have one...  No, that's not really the case, but we have... We have some servers where we would need to migrate VMs off, update it, and move them back. Where we only have one server in the data center. Another instance is we have one data center where the server has a very weird buck in the video driver, so the REL7 grub doesn't really work. I have a screenshot if you want to see that. It's very funny. Have you ever seen the movie Star Wars? No. Nobody here has ever seen it. So, the title screen, which looks like that, that's how it looks there. That's great. It's very readable. So, we also do regularly. We run a master playbook which executes all of our playbooks in Ansible, with checkdiff, so that everything that is defined in Ansible, which is not currently in production, will get reported because people do not always run all of the playbooks they modify, which makes for very funny bugs when we actually do run them and their configuration was not correct. It happened more than once, unfortunately. So, we obviously shouldn't try to debug in production. We do. We should not. So, that's why we have a staging instance and a production instance. This is also where it was coming for you. If you have a service that you would like us to run, we have a documentation request for resources that will actually define that you need to first put it into staging with the Ansible playbooks and then after it gets approved we can put it into production. The staging and production instances are completely separate. They are not able to talk to each other. Do you have a different process account to study? Yes. The fastest system is set up entirely itself. Every service we run is set up staging and production. Do I remember fastest snapshots that you take in? Yes. Sometimes we sync from production to staging because people edit their buzzword in production. Yeah. So, the permission system is managed by through our account system group membership. Have the apprentice if you want to start contributing to through infrastructure just let us know we will add you to this group. This will let you as a stage into a lot of our boxes and look around. It will not let you do anything bright access related. For that you will need to get into SysAdmin and later if we think you are helping a lot in a specific area it might add you to other groups. But please don't ask for them we will tell you when you should join them. So, how to get started with help? Sorry, that's the wrong one. How you can get into contact with us if there is anything wrong with services that we provide? Well, either come by us on through Admin, on FreeNode send an email to the mailing list or file a ticket if it's something that takes longer so we can actually track what's going on. What's the difference between Fedora Admin and Fedora Apps? Apps is more meant for people asking about the web applications and the people developing it contact each other there Fedora Apps Admin is more like for you as an end user to ask for help. Not that kind of end user. Yeah, not that kind of end user. User of our web applications. Fedora NSC is for the infrastructure people to communicate in case of problems and other network or systems operations related issues. So how you can help us because we are always happy to take on any extra apprentices that will be able to help us because we're just a team of just a few people we can hardly do it everything on ourselves. This is a page where you can find information on contributing to Fedora infrastructure. This is a page which is not actually only for infrastructure but if you're looking for things to do please take a look there it might not have everything it will often have some tasks to get you started just ask us in Fedora Admin or ask any of us in Flock. We're currently in the door so just take a look at who's there and ask one of them or me. So are there any questions left? Again I see 4 o'clock in the schedule state of the well-known third party repository it's about RPM confusion I don't think you're How hard it would be to take all your principal playbooks and just go and replicate it somewhere where you can do RPM confusion stuff if it's usable for others easily because the infrastructure of that repository is very bad I think you'll know about it in that talk but if we can reuse what Fedora already have or not You can certainly reuse it but in their case they already have a setup with a lot of things which are specific to them If they want to pick up our principal playbooks they're more than welcome to but they are with even less people to manage it so I mean how hard it is Do I just require some virtual servers that doesn't hit the magic button and Fedora infrastructure starts from the playbooks or I won't Most of it A lot of the services just hit the button and you will get pretty much everything we have There is a private repo where you have to guess what's actually there Right, well you don't Yeah, so that's the only part that's a bit tricky We have a private repository where the keys are stored because we don't want those to become public but Ansible will tell you in itself like Hey, I need this file to find it and often the name is pretty self-explanatory so you should be able to find what it is that you need to put in there and if you can't figure it out as I said just ask one of us we'll be glad to help you because we're always glad to have other people use our Ansible playbooks and everything else Any other questions? Thank you


it when it's declared meaning we have a dividend that's going to be a debit and then we're going to credit like a liability just dividends payable. Why? Because we've committed or the company has committed to giving a dividend therefore we're going to reduce the retained earnings. We're going to show a dividend in the equity section and we're going to show that we have that company has a liability because they have two to the shareholders because they have declared that they will indeed give that dividend then of course they'll pay the dividend at a later point in time at which point they will credit cash decreasing cash and reduce the dividend payable liability account. Now again that's usually that's basically it with regards to retained earnings it's a really important account but really it's basically the net income that's going to roll into it or the loss and the dividends we talked about the auditing process of the dividends and with regards to the net income of course we will audit net income but we're going to audit net income as we audit basically the income statement accounts and notice even the income statement accounts as we'll discuss in future presentations much of the auditing of the income statement actually happens as we audit the accounts on the balance sheet and the processes related to them because as we think about the processes we think about the related accounts that will be both income statement and balance sheet accounts and as we audit things on the balance sheet and consider the processes as we do so we typically do a lot of auditing on the income statement as well so in other words with regards to retained earnings the net income will roll in which comes from the income statement we're going to audit basically the income statement and to get to the net income statement and so so we're not going to spend a lot of time thinking about that that transaction with regards to retained earnings because we'll be auditing and thinking about it in terms of the income statement so obviously we're going to tie out and make sure that the net income that's recorded closed out and reported in the books ties out to the income statement that basically being taken care of hopefully by just simply the double entry accounting system that wasn't the case we wouldn't be in balance and then we have the other types of transactions however that could affect retained earnings if they are present we would want to be concerned with them and look into them so prior period adjustments so if there were any like prior period adjustments that got recorded to retained earnings in other words like if there was an adjustment in the prior period and we made it this year then that adjustment is going to be something that's going to roll into basically retained earnings going to affect retained earnings because it was in the prior period the prior period was closed out to retained earnings and then we adjusted it so now there's going to be some kind of adjustment some kind an adjustment to retained earnings. Correction of an error, that's another thing that could possibly happen. If there was an error and it got corrected, then if some period was closed out already, the adjustment might go to retained earnings if we had to, depending on how we correct that error. So for example, I mean, if a check, if you cancel the check in the prior time period and the check was going to an expense account, and we said that was an error, and then we adjusted it, of course, and that expense account was rolled over to retained earnings, then it could affect basically the retained earning account. So we're going to check that item and then the stock retirements. So any kind of stock retirements that transaction happens, we'll check those items. Now note in publicly traded companies, this should, we would expect retained earnings to basically be accounted for to roll forward. If there's any kind of adjustments with these items, then they would basically be accounted for and we can, we can look into them and test them. If we're talking about smaller companies and you're talking about a review or something like that, the first thing we're probably going to do is check that retained earnings does indeed tie out, meaning does the beginning retained earnings, you know, match what was on last year's financial status. The last year's ending retained earnings should be the beginning balance in the retained earnings account in the general ledger for the current year. And then any transactions that happens, you would think would only be things like dividends that would be decreasing it and the net income at the end of the year, if how so. The first thing you want to do in a smaller audit is check to make the sure that that is indeed the case. And if it's not, then it could be the case that some kind of prior period adjustment happened, some kind of adjustment happened that that closed that adjusted the books in the prior period and then rolled out to the retained earnings. So now retained earnings doesn't tie out as it should. And if that's the case, then you got to go back and think about what, you know, try to dig through and figure out what happened. And the easiest way to do that is to basically line up, line up the balance sheet accounts as they are in the current system for the beginning of the time period or the end of last time period and try to match that up to the audited financial statements or the completed financial statement or reviewed financial statements in the prior time period. And then you can match those up and take the difference and see where the differences are which accounts are off. And then you can go back and see what kind of prior period adjustment happened and whether or not it is correct. So again, in publicly traded companies, we would expect retained earnings to roll forward to be taken care of. And then if any adjustments in there, we just take a look at the transactions and make sure that's the case in small companies. If you're working with small companies for reviews or something like that or even tax returns, then that's probably checking that retained earnings roll forward correctly is one of the first things you probably want to look at. And then you want to consider if there were any prior period adjustments that were made either correctly or incorrectly. And look into that. And the best way to do that is to match up the balance sheet accounts as of the end of last year to what's currently in the system, hopefully as of the end of last year if you have it. And then you can see what the differences are.


Your coca-cola bottler presents Claudia based on the famous play and novels by Rose Franken Brought to you transcribed Monday through Friday by your friendly neighbor who bottles coca-cola Relax and while you're listening refresh yourself have a coke and now Claudia Hmm It isn't even raining mama, and why should it be raining? Oh, I don't know it all be so much more dramatic if it were raining today I bet you if this were a movie it'd be raining as a matter of fact it rained the day I brought you home from the hospital See this sunny weather this cool breeze is much too perfect Things just don't happen like this don't look a gift horse in the mouth Claudia we'll have enough trouble getting you and all your luggage home without asking for a storm don't forget the baby He's the nicest piece of luggage. I ever had Probably the most expensive Do you ever think of anything but money? I don't think about money much Except how easily it goes well tend to our packing for a minute. I'd like to get it down before David gets here What's the problem now? I've got too many pieces for the puzzle that don't all fit Well, that's funny everything fit when I came in things even rattled Certainly did well with perfume didn't I I think you had a baby for the presents you'd receive We'll make a separate bundle mama. That's what we'll do Just see us going home Now what about these six nightgowns you'd look lovely in them all at once. Thank you very much I never accept hand me down.  Just look at all this lace Maybe I can take it off and make a blouse of it or use it to trim that old blue surge of mine You'll do nothing of the sort.  Oh, well keep the nightgowns. Yes I'm greedy. Now. What about these books? I haven't read them yet. You ever intend to? No, then let's leave them here. I should say not we've got rows and rows of empty bookshelves on the farm So I'll keep the books I wish I thought to bring a trunk. Yeah, give me that wrapping paper and string. Yes, ma'am Say you got yourself pretty dressed up this morning. This is brown nonsense. This is my usual hat usual for occasions I'm trying to wear it out. You will wear it out. Oh You're right. This is pretty much of an occasion. I wish I'd brought a hat to wear it's not the hat that makes the occasion No, but it helps I wonder what it'll be like. What the hat? Us being all together again You David me With the baby, it'll be all right Well, that's the best I can do about the packing David can take the suitcase and this bundle of books and I'll carry the nightgowns and the perfumes and the radio and the Bed jackets and the blanket cover. I will carry the baby. We'll see about that Of course, I'll carry him. Who else is going to I'll tie him up with the books and David can carry both in one hand Here, let's pile everything up neatly by the door Oh, you put down that suitcase. Oh darling, you're here. Put down that suitcase. Oh, I didn't even know I was holding it All right. All right. Don't get so excited. I'll put it down I'll order a little embersal that all you have to say to me. No, I have more but it'll wait till we get home Picking up a suit, but I've had the baby.  What are we going to do with your mother? I think we'll tie up to the bed post David. Why do you look so warm because it's snowing out Wonderfully cool up here in my ivory tower There's even a breeze.  We'll be able to use that breeze at home I'll go down the hall and see if the nurse is ready with my grandson her grandson Listen to how possessive she is. Well, he is isn't he a mere coincidence mama No, I wouldn't exactly call it that but we'll discuss it later David get her to sit down Will you she's been on my neck all the morning. Now you heard mama sit down and not on my neck All right, all right, all right fronty. Did you bring the car? It's downstairs I Managed to pocket right around the corner from the hospital. That was lucky David. Do I look funny? Not any funnier than usual. Why? I feel funny in these clothes. You look all right in them. Gee. Thanks, mister Nothing at all. I haven't had this dress on since last year. You look just like yourself again. Just skinny my link What did you expect an improvement? No such luck.  Oh Oh What did you expect an improvement?  I better be Because the way I are seems to be pretty final good Just thinking another few days. We're going to be back up to the farm. You'll like that won't you? Be good. Be more of a farm to water now that we have something to raise I'm glad we bought the farm. It's Really like going home. You're going to be pretty busy little girl. Never too busy We have a lot ahead of us darling and a lot behind us The best part is ahead That's the way I like to hear you talk. I just hope I can live up to it I really haven't known what it's like having a baby so far Everything's so neatly taken care of for me this hospital so efficient The nurses know so well what they're doing. I've been like Lady Godiva in her tower. I think you were thinking of lady somebody else. Well, you know Because if I sort of lost touch I've had to think about anything or do anything. I've been just like a turtle. Well Now I've got to come out of this nice safe shell David I'm an awful coward. I didn't mind coming to the hospital at all. But now I Feel a little of the same way bringing my whole family home We're really going to come to grips with life from now on You understand everything.  What's the next chapter? And they lived happily ever after Only my knees didn't feel so wobbly still. Oh once you're out of here and home everything will be different. I hope so Where is mama? Why doesn't she come back? Is everything ready to go everything? What are we taking with us everything all of this bath powder? I stopped taking baths and water. I'm going to take them in powder from now on Well, you'll have to to use up this stuff. Oh, no, it's not as much as it looks Oh, no, I just had to make six trips to the car and oh you and mama Robbing me of all my hard-earned presence Mission accomplished everything is the baby dressed warmly enough David she begin Doesn't she think anybody has a brain in their head? She's judging by herself mama didn't answer my question Is he dressed warmly enough? No, we're going to let him freeze. It's all of 90 out travel Well forward marks one two. Oh now. Let me see how we work this I can hang this strap around my neck Yes, tie the books to the end of my and carry the suitcase on my head and carry this package my hand and put this Bottle in my best pocket and get this little bundle in my left hand. Why don't you give the baby something to carry? He's a man isn't he? I wish you were cloudy. This is impossible Nothing is impossible my lad if you set your mind to it, but this isn't my mind It's my back that be even easier for you now. We are even we better hurry miss Kevin He's waiting at the elevator with the baby let him wait a little we waited long enough for him Where is my pocket? I've got it after you mother. We're all oh here here Let me take those flowers. Can I carry something you carry yourself.  Oh There's mom at the end of the hall. Oh And what is the small bundle in her arms?  No doubt. No doubt Since we have it we might as well just take him along.   I'll carry because of all this trouble mama. Oh How's he ever gonna know I'm his mother if I never carry him?

Joe Drobak's got it, Walker Bueller, Bueller, Bueller, Bueller, this feels like a more substantial helmet here, this is a little bit heavier than the other ones, nice we got the Dodger sticker logo right there, there's Walker Bueller's autograph, he's got a nice auto, good penmanship, some ear flaps on that too, you got the JSA on the back, there's the corresponding card right there, there you go, that's the inside right there, pretty nice looking helmet.
