Okay. So I think we can start. Thank you so much everyone for attending to today's talk. So the main outcome of today is to serve with you some key findings of our latest studies that we did in collaboration with LA Research and the Tudor Group about this state of auspice and also serve with you some insights of what is the status of auspice in Asia. So for those who doesn't know me, my name is Ana Jiménez. I'm the Auspice Project Manager Tudor Group that is a Linux Foundation project and community. I formally work at Viteria more in the data science field in software development analytics. So I'm a data scientist and I'm also at DevRel and currently when I have time I try to contribute to open chain that is more focused on licensing and compliance and standards in our source commons that is a community focused on developing open source internal culture within organizations. The Tudor Group of course that is the organization I'm involving in and chaos that is another Linux Foundation project focused on measuring the health of the community and the open source projects. And in case you want to follow me or get in touch with me, that is my WeChat that you can scan and just add me as a friend. So I know some of you are already part of an auspice team or a similar initiative but I'm pretty sure there might be other people that maybe this is the first time they hear about the term auspice. So I'm going to give a certain introduction before I dive into the insights. So an auspice is defined as the linchpin so the entity are the people that is in touch with the organization and the open source projects and community. So they are collaborating internally with many many areas within the organization that they need to understand open source, they need to engage with open source and is in the shape of compliance and legal so they collaborate with the legal department, security department, HR team to how to onboard or maybe hire new developers from the open source communities, the business team on strategy and of course the engineering team but also because they are engaging with open source and open source is a community of communities they also need to engage with the developers of those open source projects, the maintainers of those open source projects and the open source foundations of where those projects are hosted. They provide support, advice, knowledge, strategy and even though you might not call your entity of open source operations an auspice it's more important to not determine the essence that this name implies. As I mentioned they collaborate across many layers within the organization. This is one of our recent works in our community an initiative called the auspice book where the community define this auspice flower and the areas of work that the auspice really needs to take care about and in a nutshell I think this sketch clarifies and integrates better like the essence of the auspice, it puts order into chaos, it gives strategic alignment to the organization and without harming the open source ecosystem but keeping the sustainability of the open source projects. And why is this important? Well if I tell you right now in your organization do you have a security team? Do you have a CISO team? I'm pretty sure you have and if I tell you why do you why you have a security team you will say well because that it's critical for our business for keeping us alive because security is so so important and why then we don't say the same when thinking about auspice? In one of our studies we found out that the auspice 93% of the auspice collaborates with the security team. It's important goes beyond managing open source is because open source is integrated into every modern application nowadays so the same time and the same way an organization has a marketing team an organization should be thinking about adopting a strategic posture around open source because it's integrated in the IT development, the AT strategy. So what we found out in this study that we do every every year in collaboration with LF research and this year also in partnership with these great organizations some of them also from coming from the the Chinese community we found three key findings the first one auspice are becoming mainstream in general but particularly also we found a huge increase in Asia we will just go through that in a minute also we deep dive into the value of the auspice and how auspice are improving security to build more secure software and to help and support into the sustainability of open source projects and finally also these research allow us to define some next steps and challenges ahead that I would like to start with you so to put us into context so this is study the demographics we had a sample size of 489 participants taking the survey so 20% of those of that sample size comes from Asia Pacific I think it's the highest percentage of people from Asia Pacific taking the survey in all these years that we have been conducted this survey so it's a really huge amount of people and well that isn't quite normal that most of these of these people come from the IT fields of 56% but we did also have people from government entity or agencies from academic or research institutions and of course a lot of people 80 28% of end users organizations that consume IT products or services so the mayor finding we found was about auspice growth we saw at 32% increase so it's great because we did that means that 66% of organizations now recognize this importance of value of open source software but I think in the next years ahead we can do better particularly if you see in general in or across all the regions we found an increase from 2022 to 2023 but the dark blue is Asia Pacific can you see that come went to 26% to 54% in just one year so I think this is really impressive and I think these are good news but again I think we will say now in the future but I think now is okay organizations are waking up they're starting to build an hospital how can we preserve perceive this hospital how can we improve the sustainability of that hospital in the organization another finding was about security so this was a new question we added in today's in this year survey we wanted to know how many of these auspice collaborate with the security team and give support to the security team so we asked them um yeah like does your hospital or initiative directly address open source security issues we found out that 60 69% made decisions on security issues and others even though they didn't make decisions they provided advice so a total of 93% of auspice this year provided advice on the security issues so this is about like auspice are playing a higher role an important role on risk management and I think this is a really key topic to address and you might be thinking well what about generative AI now that is so popular well actually one of the things we do in in to the group is doing these monthly meetings and in the last one we had a panel discussions on how what is the role of auspice in internal AI compliance programs this is of course is something that I think it needs more evolution because this is pretty new but in this um in this panel discussion that is recorded and people cannot really see it we we saw that there were auspice getting involved with the and talking with the AI ethical team or the AI compliance team to help them deal this compliance program and also regarding innovation uh so we've seen that auspice helping to move from a nice to have thing open source is a nice to have thing to integrating open source in IT strategy so for instance the top uh technologies that auspice actually engage it and are paying uh uh having activity is cloud containers AI machine learning and analytics it's not also about that they are getting involved in these technologies but they are helping to improve open source best practices within the organization so we found out that 96 percent of organizations that had an auspice have driven significant improvement to software development best practices and the ones that have an auspice are four more times likely to provide upstream contributions so to contribute back to the community that I think it's uh some organizations might be understanding the value of using open source uh but sometimes going beyond and go to the stuff of contributing is a really hard thing and this is really interesting to find out that maybe because they have a such a strategic position around open source the organization can understand better contributing and they are ready or more ready to provide upstream contributions uh and of course software is becoming more software at scale organizations are not managing just one or two open source projects we are talking about thousands of open source projects that has open source dependencies and that relies on all the open source projects so being able to measure that and to have an automate process it's really important many auspices started from the legal and compliance ground uh unless even though this is not the only thing that an auspice take care of but they have been doing pretty good on having an automated process for addressing these licenses compliance what are the challenges because even though we have found really great insights and positive feedback on how auspice are helping the organizations and the open source ecosystems we also find some auspice barriers that are important to address in general um organizations reported uh that um they might uh reduce their funding in auspice for the next year ahead so we move to twenty twelve percent of respondents saying that last year to twenty three percent if twenty twenty three and i think this relies on the value of the auspice and how that message is sometimes not fully understood by the stakeholders uh and thus not getting this financial support so what can we do uh to address this challenge uh what are the next steps and recommendations so what i'm gonna be sharing with you is some of the um insights and recommendations that we are developing in our community um this is uh my own opinion and i really hope that you can maybe have a great conversation afterwards whether or not this can help for organizations in china for instance so the first one is about um being clear about the message and scope there have been a lot of organizations that i've heard with an ospo that they only focus on compliance specifically uh i come from uh europe and basically madrid in europe uh we have a lot of regulations and many of the auspice that i met there they were on the very first step of just focusing on compliance which is great because it's a really important topic uh but this is not a holistic approach by holistic i mean giving a core a whole message of open source that implies governance community engagement and a strategy and in all these steps an ospo usually provides this education to the organization guidance like mentorship advocacy and uh sustainability of the projects and i know it's it's hard because it's not just about going to some to a team or to the stakeholders and say hey this is open source look how cool we are and uh this is how it used to do it no i mean and pretty sure the organization has different product lines and uh you need to drift these cultural chains to the developers but also to the managers that are approving the process and needs to understand like open source is important i shall take a look to this bill request and also to the stakeholders to um keep financing this initiative right uh so this is one of the many structures uh that from a certain ospo i cannot say the name but uh they they added these ospo leaders uh in the middle that they talk with managers uh check to the business units and at the same time they go directly and talk with the open source community so having this linchpin between these three layers is really really important and also keeping in mind that uh the ospo needs to operate in the management level the ospo level like within the ospo employee level and business units this doesn't take like isn't this is not something that in just one year an organization can accomplish like i found ospo's that they they are now five years old and they're still in the very user phase trying to see like getting the first contributions done into open source projects so um an organization might want to take a look to the activity and go step by step there are others that they're approaching this like at the at the same time that depends on the culture of the organization and and they're understanding to open source but i think it's important that when you're sharing the value you need to talk the language of many different teams so you need to prove the value of for for hr also for developers and for the it team also what means this for the brand what means this for the customer what this means for uh the cost of the organization so it's really hard to think about that because also you need to think of these values what means in the participation in the contribution and also on the leadership phase another another thing that maybe it's important to take care of is build career paths internally i know like many ospos focus a lot on this uh so this is providing training and certifications on open source uh building or creating internal summits and conference with they for instance where the developers internally in the organizations present on these are the open source projects we are contributing this is what we have been doing also maybe inviting some um global speakers to talk about like how all the ospos are doing and also maybe building some mentorships programs and the tricky thing of this is that uh this needs to be maybe customized to every layer so how how do you provide training and certification to the management level or how do you provide training and certification to the employee or not an employee level that might slightly be different and the content might be also differ and the and one of the the most important things is collaborate uh we've seen that collaboration with open source organizations is the number one responsibility of an ospo or open source initiative in this survey report and what we mean by collaboration is collaborating with other ospos that maybe you have common goals you want to build uh maybe for instance in europe uh the automotive industry they have really specific software uh with with the regulations and they really wanted to build a neutral and a common ground to build common tooling where most of the automotive companies in europe can use it and contribute to that so that is for instance a really great example of collaboration um also with open source foundations so for instance if your projects are in the cncf ecosystem or you're contributing to any of the projects of the cncf ecosystems you want to build the ospo can act as at least linchpins to build this collaboration and of course uh projects outside foundations maybe and communities and by communities i don't only mean look global communities for instance to the group operate globally but i think it's also important to build partnerships with local communities where for instance in some places where like english is not the first language i mean for instance in china i think it's really important to also promote the local language and i'm from spain english is not my first language is spanish and i i have it happens the same we have local communities that we talk in spanish because sometimes it's better understood by the people that are engaging in that community so um i think i didn't introduce it to the group so if i would like to introduce now we are a group uh we are an open source project and community community of ospo practitioners uh that we are developing best practices guide resources to on how to build effective ospo and to improve the sustainability of these open source project program offices across sectors and regions um we have developed the community has developed a long uh list of resources we have a no spoke glossary studies a mind map guides studies brain book and also from china the local community has also been providing grateful contributions to the translations of some of these resources this uh there are many different ways that you can contribute or be support to the group if you're going to have representatives for organization doing open source you can support us as a um as a general with general members there are some organizations in china that are already general members of to the group and has been doing great work with this for this community but if for instance you are not our organization but you are coming for a foundation or an open source project or a community that are helping us post we also have the ospo associates program we already have some um organizations within elef outside elef that has been collaborating with us with the ospo project and initiative that is an initiative under to the group and um if you're an individual you are not representative representing an organization you can also support to do as an ospo ambassador this is our latest program we launched this year and in our website you can find all this information and to end up with i just wanted to serve some um ospo resources these are not just to the resources for instance we also have we uh i also wanted to serve some ospo studies conducted by a chinese organization here uh about the ospo uh a set of ospo cases studies i are from chinese companies and i think it's great it's fully in chinese so i hope i i hope you you could take a look uh we on the to the side we also had a deep dive into open source program offices we do have a chinese translation so uh you might check it out in the website and the evolution of the open source program office also is in chinese uh i i know like there were some contributions and we have the chinese version there are also communities uh the from elef a pack of ospo sick they have uh we chat local community where everything is fully in chinese and i think they're doing great job i see some evangelists here uh so thank you so much for the work you're doing and on to the side we do to the virtual meeting so we have the ospology global to learn and in case you would like to contribute you can join our working groups that happens weekly and that's all all this information is on our website to the group dot org thank you so much thank you and enjoy the conference to do ospology uh webinar are very good topics so do we have video recording on website or where can we get finally yeah so um coming back to the virtual meetings so we have ospology ospology is an initiative under a tutor group and uh there these are global uh panel discussions so the one that i said about the compliance programs we have this every month and if you cannot join uh we record those and upload it in the both in the registration page uh that is elef and the linux foundation community and also on youtube okay so oh youtube to do channel yes fine good thank you hi um so you mentioned uh ospology people need to talk to a lot of people around right uh legal folks compliance experts and also development teams uh but usually in uh like a large enterprise you already have like dedicated teams in those areas so we often face the problem that you are not like regard there's a dedicated field for open source legal stuff or open source compliance stuff or especially for development right if you have a project that has a development team uh usually they don't consider like um us like part of part of the team although we know the technology well so um back to the point my question is i think it's a taller to to to be a great hospital runner so is there any like suggestions for how uh how do we talk to those teams you know related teams as establish the uh professionality among those and the b view like a truly lead that can convince the the tech people the legal people the or the other yeah um that's a really good question and uh before uh sharing some of the insights from what all the ospos um have been doing in the past i would like to mention that it depends on the organizational culture and uh how like how well does those teams know about open source and how well is integrated so uh even though there are some best practices that organizations are serving maybe you cannot just copy and paste that you might to address it to your organizational needs saying that what i've heard from ospos around the world uh they have implemented a metric of experts and these metrics of experts usually came from the same team like for instance they found a champion engine on the engineering team someone that is part of that team they train them into open source uh that person specifically so then they got the chance that person has both knowledges the open source knowledges and also that it has the trust of their team like they can easily communicate because they know the internal processes and policies and so on um as i said it's not something that in just one day you can have it's it takes a lot and and maybe that is one of the major issues that ospos are facing right now with the layoffs that maybe stakeholders are like oh i don't see any improvements i don't see where it's where is the facts what what are the what is happening and it's just like they need more time like it takes a village any other questions that's an elf member how do we apply to it existing elf members oh yeah to to the group you mean yeah okay yeah so um if your organization that has an ospo or um are working on an open source initiative let me go back to the slides where i saw that uh yeah so there are three ways so this is as an organization uh we have in our page at join if you go to the join page it's filling up an uh form um if you're an elf member already uh you can join to do at no cost and it's just filling up a form an application form and the process takes like roughly three days um if you are coming from a foundation or for an open source project that wants to collaborate more with ospos and build initiatives together you can do that as an associate and again there are specific pages where they you need to submit like a PR saying i want to join as an associate because i have this initiative or this proposal and if you're an ambassador you do there is also like a list of responsibilities and benefits of being an a to-do ambassador as individual i hope this answers to your question okay all right so um if there are no other questions uh thank you so much and enjoy


Yeah, coming on again, what was on the offices to do list? Yeah, I mean, again, when you get a chance to play an actual NFL game in a regular season, you get to see where we're at as a staff, as well as the players. Obviously, there's room for improvement, starts with the fundamentals. Going back to what we've been doing in training camp, relying on your fundamentals, relying on communication between the coaches and players, and the players amongst themselves when they're out there. All things that we feel are correctable in terms of things that we need to work on from the past game. And we have a great opportunity, a great challenge to go down to Tampa and be able to see if we corrected those mistakes and get better at them. And Coach Yesmith said he wanted to get pits and gauge involved earlier. How do y'all do that? Yeah, I mean, I'm sure he answered it the way Coach Smith self-fit in terms of that question to me in general for these players, right? Anybody specifically in the skill position wise, if you ask any of them, they're probably wanting the ball early just to get involved, just to touch the ball. But the reality is sometimes the coverage dictates where the ball goes at times. And you might have good intentions to get someone the ball and the coverage might take it away. And you're taught and we tell the quarterback to go where the coverage tells them to go. And again, I'm sure everybody wants to touch the ball and get involved. The reality is sometimes your intentions are met by the defense's intentions and the ball goes somewhere else. But it's our goal to get our playmakers the ball. There's no doubt about it. And we feel like we have a good assortment of those guys. And again, it's our job as coaches to make sure we do that. Could you explain how tough it is to develop and bring along a young offensive one? Yeah, I think, again, I go back to the fact that I think everybody who comes in the NFL is a rookie. They all have different development arcs in terms of some guys come in and it's as if it's as easy as they were playing back in college or high school. Some guys come in and it takes a few games and some guys, like myself, never really got it, right? And so again, it's all the different trajectories in which a player comes in this league and again, it all stems from the fact of going out there and trusting and relying on your fundamentals and your beliefs and what you do. Don't waver. Do what you're asked and coach to do. And again, going out there and gaining experience. Again, there's no other substitute for experience for these guys. Every time you go out there, it's a new game experience. Hopefully you collect enough of those, build equity with the experiences, and you can bank on that and rely on it and get better from it. And that goes for all the players regardless of if you're in year one game one or you're in year 14 game whatever format. Again, you're out there and you're trying to gain experience and use the experiences you had in your past to help you. And so hopefully with the younger guys who had a game out of their belt, we'll continue to hopefully get better in that trajectory. You just said that you never got it. Are there treats that you- I mean, the tone was low. I said mine a little jokingly. You definitely hammer me and I can't wait for that to come out. I mean- Hey look, my two stars statistically. A punter in this league might have better statistics than I do at that time. Point taken. I got humility. I can promise you that. But because you had those experiences, are there things that you can see in somebody to tell whether or not they are going to get it or they're going to not? Yeah, sure. I mean, there's no foolproof in my opinion, but I think again you see how guys react to the situations that they're in and then how they recover. If it's a- Even when it's a good situation, you want to see when a guy has success early, how does he respond to it the next week in practice? A guy doesn't have a great outing. How does he respond next week in practice? Again, it's all telling. I'm sure everybody would tell you that they want to come in and work really hard. The reality is some guys can actually do that and focus and cut out all the outside noise and go do that. And then some guys, right, good or bad might get caught up in what's being said on the outside and let them affect when they come in the building. Again, I think it's one of those where it's just a pure mindset and you don't see it until it actually happens. So again, we just like players watch coaches, coaches watch players to see how we react in different situations. We're obviously all coming together, a lot of us for the first time. So players want to see how coaches react and coaches want to see how players react through adversity, good and bad. And that's what's beautiful about the NFL season. Each week, if you think about the last week, good or bad, the next week is right there on you and you better be ready to go. Is that something that can change for a player or is it? Like once you see it or you know it, like it's probably not a good point. I think guys through shared experiences with either if it's a young guy and he's asking a veteran, you know, how he goes through certain experiences, or you realize that, hey, I reacted this way. That wasn't a good outcome the next week for me because I reacted that way and some of it's trial and error. I think everybody in this league for the most part, right, obviously has good intentions, wants to come out, wants to work hard, wants to perform well. The reality is just because of the nature of this business and how tough it is, doesn't always happen that way. But if you're made of the right stuff, it's about the work ethic, it's about caring, it's about being professional. You like to think you have a fighting experience. Now that Josh has been here for a few weeks and has kind of gotten into the system, how have you seen him grow within it? And then now that he's probably getting fewer reps, now that we're in like a game practice week, in what ways can you identify and continue to develop him in this climate? Yeah, that's a good question. I think, again, the backup quarterback, in my opinion, has a dual mandate, right? The first one is to help the starter get ready to play.  So how do you go about doing that? Well, you talk about mental reps. Well, there's also, after practice, your ability to have a plan to either walk through or throw on air to the receivers, right, with no defense out there going through the plays. So I think one of the toughest jobs in the National Football League is to be a backup quarterback. Because, again, when you're asked to go in there, it's probably not a great situation that just occurred. And you're not obviously operating with a ton of reps during the week. So what we've asked both backup quarterbacks to do is go in and understand that that's not an excuse. There's 32 other guys or 31 other guys just like you that has to do this. So what is your plan? So as coaches, right, we hopefully put a good plan in place for those guys to be ready to play. The reality is, right, these guys, it's a tough job. And so when you're developing those guys with the limited reps, you have to be very specific in what you ask them to do. And you got to see growth and you have to measure it. Otherwise, the words mean nothing. So if we're asking him at a certain point in scout team or after practice or in the plan to know what inside and out, and we test them in certain ways to see if they do know that, that's a way for us to measure where their growth is. Again, you asked probably 31 other coaches, quarterback coaches or coordinators, and they might have a different plan for the backup quarterbacks. I just know through my shared experiences of being one and coaching, obviously, the position, right, there needs to be a plan in place to make sure he's mentally right for the starter and mentally right for himself. So that's what we try to develop. In the back of last season, what was the thought process behind Cordell? I'm saying Cordell's a guy we should get more carries to. We should look at differently position. Are you talking about in Chicago? Yeah, that thought process. Yeah, so let's move him in. Yeah, so again, there's been other teams with CP, right, who have tried to use him as a running back. CP's a guy through my history in this league. I think I've tried to sign him multiple times. Most times he's left me at the altar. The last two times we were able to get him, in my mind, just because of what I think of the person at first and then the player, I think he creates a different matchup than most guys in this league, because again, he was drafted as a wide receiver. He's also arguably, I don't have a vote, but arguably a Hall of Fame returner. So with the ball in his hands, he's dynamic, but what's underrated, in my opinion, when you saw him in the different spots where he ran the ball, and then when we asked him to do last year, his I love his vision and he runs with an edge. And to me at 230 pounds at that size, it turns into a kick return sometimes for him, and anybody who's seen him hit it, he hits it. And so CP to me is a guy who I love, I love the way those type of guys play.  And so to me, CP, and then you can also motion him outside, which we showed in the last game. I'm not sure how many corners want to come up and tackle that. Like, so the reality is he does provide matchups for us, but he's also, to me, a guy who can go behind the quarterback as the running back and run within our system.  But as you guys saw on Sunday, he can also go behind the quarterback and run the football, which I appreciate about him. I think the game is becoming less rigid positionally. Overall, I'll think about Kyle as a tight end runner. I'm sure. Really, you know. That's a great question.  He's a head coach right now and a long-time guy. And his goal was to get to positionless defense in terms of guys were able to put at any spot, but get into any kind of front structure and all that just to cause, you know, issues for the offense. And again, I'm not saying we're going down that path, but I'm saying though, as you can see some of those type players, right, starting to come into the offense to side where you can move them different spots and now the defense has to have a plan for them. And so again, to see if he fit that role, sure. I mean, I, you can argue he's a running back. You can argue he can play it wide out. So a defense has to have a plan for him. But for us, we just love the fact that he's just a, he's a football player that I've seen in the past when I wasn't with him. And then since I've been with him, he's been everything as advertised. Does that come from basketball? He's made basketballs going through that. Right. Positionless, no doubt. Yeah, it'd be interesting. I mean, if you follow the trends in the NFL, you know, that'd be a curious one to look at in terms of how many teams are really going that route. Again, there's positions when you draft them from college, there's obviously projections specifically at the tight end spot, right?  So yeah, I mean, obviously the flexibility helps. But again, I think it's case by case basis and all that. It's time for one more. I just think like when I'm looking at the game on Sunday, Matt, his average per completion was quite low in terms of yards per completion. Sure. I was just curious, was the quick growth some of that y'all game planned and designed or was that by design of a byproduct of the lack of protection? Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't necessarily say the latter part, but I mean, obviously the reality is the numbers are the numbers, right, in terms of where the ball traveled. You know, again, give credit to Philly's defense for the way they wanted to play the game. And obviously that was with a lot of too high shell keeping stuff in front. The reality is the way the first half played out, I think the first three drives, I think total of 40 plays in three drives, 31 in the first two, I think that was more of the way the game was going than the second half, right? The game obviously didn't play out and it became just a drop-back game.  So again, I think it's a combination of a lot of things. I think the question's valid, but I think it's a combination of a lot of things that occurred.


Well, welcome back to the channel today I want to talk about perks that you should probably Upgrade and have as soon as possible to help you with your game and quality of life and things of that nature So if we go up here to skills, I'm going to show you what I've got personally. These are my choices I started with gastronomy, which I don't really care about but eventually I will get round to it But if we go over here to physical I feel that fitness is a great perk to have because you get to have more oxygen You don't need to rank this up as much as possible Maybe get it to a rank two just so you got more oxygen That means you can run for further before you run out of breath before you start to take damage from running So for me fitness is definitely something you should be looking into after bat But more importantly weightlifting this increases how much you can carry now You're going to be picking up a lot of things off the ground You're going to be running around with them You're going to get over in combat over in combat in this game basically means that when your mass is higher than what you can hold You run even if you're normal running and not sprinting you start to lose your oxygen and then you start to take health damage A lot sooner than you normally should so having more weight in your pockets Definitely definitely is worth it probably the most important perk in my opinion to Wellness as well increase your maximum health again I don't think you need to have more than 10% but 20% is viable too The challenges to get to these rank twos are fairly easy as well It won't take you long to get to them if you are this way inclined with conversations Persuasion is pretty good now you can wear outfits to increase your persuasion You can drink items and eat items to increase your persuasion But having a rank one here with an extra 10% just what makes the persuasion game a little bit easier I think with the right clothes and the right buffs and rank two Persuasion is going to be pretty straightforward Next up in the combat tree. I have picked up a laser gun recently. So I'll put some Points into laser weapons doing more damage shotguns are very useful too But ballistic weapons in general is anything that fires bullets basically anything that does physical damage So all of your rifles your pistols your Shotguns and everything all will be affected by the ballistic weapon damage So you could very easily rank this up to rank two to do 20% more damage and then also do Individual weapons depending on what you're actually using but that's just preference to how you play for the combat tree Medicine will allow you to restore extra health I feel like this is very very worth leveling up as well to like level at least rank two rank three preferably because Even though the AI is not that good, especially if you're on higher difficulties You get hit like a truck so having this as a quick little kind of like fixed in the mid battle You get extra percentage on heels definitely definitely worth it Then we have surveying this solely is it up to you if you like to survey planets This is a godsend a godsend to be able to scan things from further to just be able to just do things easier Definitely worth it. I went up to do weapon engineering Because I want to add stuff to my weapons and create mods and stuff I don't have a point yet to be able to actually get to rank two But the next thing I unlock will be rank two because you get superior weapon mods Which makes your weapons better obviously and then that's going to open up a whole new game for me Where I have to go and get the materials and stuff because right now I'm not really doing kind of like that kind of stuff I'm surveying planets and stuff, but I'm not actually like grinding for materials So this is going to be very useful to do that to open up a new part of the game And then finally in the tech tree you want the security perk Absolutely incredible rank two gives you more vision on what you are doing It gives you blue rings to let you know when a lock can be opened with the digi-pick pattern that you have selected It's very easy just to look through and see what picks are going to work at this point and then figuring out which one It's it's very it's much easier than just a rank once Security perk then boost pack training. This just allows you to boost through the air It allows traveling a little bit faster because you're gonna have a little bit more oxygen when you boost because instead of running in a straight line when you jump and Dash forward you save a bit of oxygen So you're gonna constantly be running and moving and stuff and it also helps in battles as well Rank two again This is going to be something I do when I get another skill point because I need it now to do less fuel So all in all these are the like kind of starter perks up to rank 20 that I would in Involve myself in but it's completely up to you and how you play piloting is also another good one if you wanted to get The only other two perks that I think are worth unlocking and leveling up are commerce So you buy for 5% less and sell for 10% more now credits aren't as big of a deal in this game As you think it would be you get a lot of credits very quickly Your big purchases like your apartments and some some guns that you want to try are a little bit expensive But for the most part for the past 10 hours of this game, I've had over 100k credits So while this is going to be a useful perk I don't think you need to do it from the back But if you want to get a lot of money very quickly This is the perk for you and then also theft pickpocketing allows you to pick pocket I'm not really a fan of pickpocketing games. It's never really been my thing But also as well, I feel like there's a lot of risk here Especially if you're doing it in a city or something because if you get caught then you go to jail and all that kind of stuff But if that's your if that's what you find fun in the game I think that's a great perk to start with as well And I think we've theft as well It feels like you also need stealth which allows you to have a stealth meter and 25% more difficult to detect when sneaking I believe that will probably affect your chances of being able to pick pocket properly I don't know for sure But it just seems like that's the case and then obviously you know boxing if you if you're going unarmed melee combat Is just a no-brainer you have to take this that's about it for what I believe are the kind of quintessential perks to start with And make sure you get leveled up But again, it's all down to your playstyle and how you play and what you want I just feel like as a new player someone who hasn't really researched this these are Pretty much things that you're gonna need for the most part of and then other ones are like specialist stuff that you want to do So yeah, I hope that helped if did hit the like button subscribe all that kind of fun stuff Thank you for watching. I've been easy now. You have been awesome


We copy Roger, IFFD is telling me that they are complete with this FO, but they would appreciate if you did not power down and just leave this going until you come back in the afternoon, except for turning off the laser and the backlight because they're both run by battery. Your DCE activity for this afternoon at three hours, 52 minutes has been canceled. You need to go to your TPR. However, you will have some CM1 power-up procedures to do later on at approximately five hours. Does that mean I don't have anything to do near for an hour and a half? That's affirmative. You got walked out if you responded to that. It is affirmative that you have about an hour and a half of free time right now. About 15 minutes of that, but then I'd like to come back here and go ahead and start with some of the IFFD activities for this afternoon if that's okay. That's okay with us. Just sort of practice with it and stuff like that. I'll just give you a call when I come back in here, okay? Sounds great. I'll be Houston. Janice, we're... I'll be back in about five minutes. Listen to him. Do you just give us a little bit of a big picture here? I'll be Houston. Janice, just a heads-up of your Sarex contacts in about eight minutes. I'll be there. Chris, thanks for the heads-up. Yes, Janice, we were just conferring on the big picture. The DCE activities have been deleted for this shift. This is due to the limited amount of fuel they have available and their science team would like to rethink their test points to be performed and ensure that they get maximum science return through the end of the mission. So they have pulled out all of their activities in the timeline today.  Okay, and thanks for that. We appreciate it. Well, good evening, Mark. We're right in the handover between the red shift who's just waking up and the blue shift who's getting ready to wind down. Janice just finished her exercise for the day. And Rod is still back in the lab doing some experiments, but hopefully he'll be up here shortly. And I guess we're approaching a halfway point in the mission, and it really feels to us on board like we're falling into a steady routine. But the minute you say the word routine, you have to step back and glance out the window. And when you do that and see the beautiful earths with and by, it reminds you that this is any but routine. It reminds me of where we are and why we're here. It makes us appreciate all the great work that the folks at Mission Control and the Marshall have done in pulling this mission together and supporting us through it. And it makes us realize that a space mission is any but routine in all aspects from the ground, making science we're doing to just what it takes to keep people flying safely in space. So today we're going to give you just kind of a rundown of a halfway through the mission type day in space. And it turns out it was Janice's half day off. So she got to do all kinds of neat things. And we'll show you what astronauts do on their days off, or at least what Janice did on her day off. And then I'm doing a little experiment in the back called the LIF shear cell. I'll show you that. This is me doing the LIF shear cell experiment. And a big picture on this is the materials processing experiment and measuring the diffusion coefficient of various atoms through different materials in space. What you see me there doing is rotating this shear cell. And what that does basically is they want this darn thing up and then atoms diffuse through the materials. And then at the end of the run we actually crank it, which breaks it into small pieces. And then on the ground they can measure how far the atoms diffuse. And from that really determine the diffusion properties or how far the atoms are able to migrate. And on Earth, because atoms weigh different amounts, you can't ever totally measure that property. Knowing that property will help us design better materials process, from everything from computers to materials. And here's Roger. And this is a view of an experiment we're doing on kind of the internal flow and fluid dynamics of droplets. And above the metal pedestal there you can see a small droplet of hydrogen and water levitate. We're doing materials with different viscosities or different consistencies because they have different properties. This is the shape of planets that are gaseous like Saturn and Jupiter. And the formation of stars, the Sun and other kinds of astrophysical bodies as well as any kind of fluids and droplets here on the ground. This is something else I like to do on my day off. I first got interested in flying in space from Reading Science Fiction. There we go, Winkle and Time is the name of that book. That's the first science fiction book I ever read by Madeline Lengel when I was in sixth grade and got interested in the space program. I still reading science fiction and I like to bring science fiction up with me and read it by Earth light, which is sunlight reflected off the Earth. It's hard to tell in this shot but it is bright enough to read with that light. It's just like reading in a room at home and having that connection and having red science fiction to get me started on this path and closing the loop by reading science fiction in space is really special to me. Well good morning Lieutenant Commander Susan Still and Commander Jim Housel. This is Peggy O'Leary with Channel 12 in Augusta. How are you this morning or evening in your case? Good morning Peggy and on Friday we celebrated the birth of a nation but also this weekend we celebrated the rebirth of the excitement of space exploration. Susan we are so proud that someone from Augusta can be a part of that. Tell us a little bit about your mission. On combustion and material science. The purpose is twofold but the main purpose is to somehow make life better on that sort of thing. I see that this is a very important mission when it came down early in April. Of course we were all disappointed but were you surprised at the quick turnaround for your crew, the payload in Columbia? I'll tell you Peggy, they sort of are ready to fly again so quickly. This is the first space shuttle and the crew we were just ready to go. We were well trained for STS-83 and so we just needed to maintain our proficiency leading into STS-94. What's the talk with your family at all since you've been in space? Nathan, have you the other day on the hand way to speak with my dad in a couple of days? Well you know Susan you don't have to wait a couple of days to speak to your father. He's here with us now live in the studios. Dr. Joseph still do you have any questions for your daughter Susan? I have any questions I'd just like to tell a hello from my mother and myself. I'm glad to see that she's doing well. One last and his name is Astro. What have you done today? What's your day been like so far? The bathrooms of women's work is never done even in space. This extended duration mission so that 16 days after launch and maybe 18 days after our last opportunity to practice at the shuttle training aircraft, we're not trying to lay up for the first time. Every day Susan fires us up and she and I make a run or two on the pilot simulator. You can see from the screen here that it's a floor desktop kind of simulator. It's actually pretty high stability. The control response is certainly not exactly the same as the shuttle or as the shuttle training aircraft. You can't really hang your hat on its flying qualities but it does get your brain working again as to what you ought to be looking at and when you need to be looking at certain parameters. Working on lining up the ball bar, working on the airspeed, working on the sight picture. Just the mechanics of landing the shuttle and I think this is a valuable tool. You'll see Susan's landing here just at or beyond the touchdown markers which is where we try to touch the shuttle down nowadays making some pilot runs together as a crew. And here I'm just going to show you just the path from the flight deck over to the lab. Here's the mid-dank. He goes through the airlock hatch. And you'll see there's a high speed 180 pass of Susan coming the other way. The tunnel there has a lot of laundry in it, both clean and dirty. And it's a good storage place for a number of different items. Here we bounce up into the lab and you can see the blue shift already at work there. Janet from the left and Roger at the far end. People told me that fresh food was really nice to have but that it ran out after a few days. So I knew that growing sprouts on the ground was pretty easy to do and I thought that growing them on orbit might be possible. The people in the food lab really helped out a lot. We got some alfalfa seeds into a food bag and devised a system for adding water to it without letting the sprouts out. And then all we needed was a way to get the water out without gravity. So by connecting bags together and creating a little bit of centrifugal force we could squeeze the water out of the bags. So sprouts are growing along and with a little bit of luck we'll be able to eat them soon enough. I end up here with a couple of earth odds shots. This is the border between the United States, between Texas and Mexico. That's Brownsville area right below us in Brownsville, Texas area. And the border with Mexico. Everybody has commented several times. It's probably the most beautiful island shot that we get anywhere around on orbit. These are the Bahamas. Florida south is to the top of the screen and Florida is off to the right. And just the beautifully that we get as we fly over the Bahamas we just never get tired of that.
