One of the distributions that I've been meaning to take a look at for a little while is fedora silver blue And I've always been putting it kind of off just because I'm not a big Genome fan like I think if you've followed the channel for any amount of time you'll know that I'm just not a Genome fan and I kept pushing silver blue off for that reason I just like I didn't want to use Genome the idea behind silver blue was always interesting but again It's Genome so I didn't really want to use it But there is an alternative project also done by fedora that's called quinoa white and quinoa is the same idea silver blue But instead of Genome it uses KDE and that's what we're gonna take a look at today. Now. This is a like a first-look video Very early stages. I've been using it now for about three days off and on and my idea of what? Silver blue and quinoa actually, you know what those things are is a it is very much in its early stages I'm just now kind of getting my eye my head around it So if I make a mistake in something that I say just know that it's done out of ignorance not malice So I do plan on using quinoa right now for the next month or so and I'll do a long-term review video after I'm done So what I should do first is talk about what the idea behind silver blue and quinoa actually is and that Idea is something that is kind of unique in the Linux space You don't find distributions that are like this very often. I think there are a couple others but Really quinoa white and silver blue are the ones that are the most popular and the ones that are most developed So the idea behind them is that they are immutable and if you don't know what that word means don't worry about it I didn't either from what I can tell immutable means that there is a portion of the Linux file system basically the stuff that makes up Linux itself that is Completely untouchable by the user or user space and what this allows quinoa and Silver blue to do is to be very very stable and also to have it so that each version of quinoa or silver blue are exactly the same as all the rest as long as the versions are the same that portion of the Operating system never changes and that allows for developers to be able to test Programs and containers and all this stuff easily knowing that the system that they're on it's going to be the same no matter What install of that system it happens to be it also has other benefits as well because if that stuff that to mix up the Linux system is in a container and Not accessible by anything it means that that stuff is secure and that makes the entire system more secure now Like I said, I don't know if I'm explaining that well or if I'm even explaining it correctly I'm still getting my head around what immutable means and why it's good from what I can tell Mostly at this point. It's mainly focused towards developers So if you're not a developer the benefits of an immutable system, they're kind of superfluous They're not necessarily something that is going to give you a lot of benefits It doesn't mean that you can't use it doesn't mean that it's not good It's just that a lot of the things that are built into something like Kino white are More suited towards people who are going to be developing software of certain kinds with that being said I thought I would try it out So what I'm gonna do today is just kind of take you through a few of my initial thoughts about Kino white Itself, so let me actually show you my Kino white system and this is what this it looks like now Now like I said, this is just the standard Katie plasma desktop I've done some ricing obviously because of course I did and there's not a lot here That is going to initially set this apart from other distributions Like if you just popped in front of a computer it had Kino white on it You wouldn't know that this was different than just regular fedora where things go different is how you install software So the suggested way of installing software is through flatback It's the way you're supposed to install the vast majority of your software and you can use the flat hub repository So you can get a wide selection of software through flat pack and it's really easy You can install it through the terminal if you wanted to install from the terminal you could do something like flat pack install audacity if you wanted to Right and I already have audacity installed, but it would install audacity you can also use discover If you wanted to use discover, I don't know anyone who really likes discover all that much But I'm sure there are people out there like that It's never been the best software store in the world, but it's not bad and it's definitely gotten better over the last years It's still Pretty slow, but it's not as slow as the snap store. Let's put that out there Anyways, you can install flat packs from there And if you've enabled the flat hub repository flat hub will also integrate here as well that's the way you're supposed to install the vast majority of your software and Because flat pack itself is containerized. It doesn't interact with that lower level system at all anyways and It means that you're adding kind of a Additional lever level of security on top of everything else Now what happens if you come across a program that isn't available through pat flat pack or flat hub or any of the other flat pack repositories, well, there is a way to actually install things to your base system and That is through a program called RPM Ostry like so and you just do install Let's just say then my Vim does not have a flat pack. So you'd have to install it like this now I've already done this But this is how you'd install it and one thing you'll notice is that you don't have to use pseudo now This is a part of the whole system that just kind of confuses me Because I don't understand Where this is being installed to if it's being installed into that lower level system that Is supposed to be completely untouchable by the user. Why don't you have to use a root password? I don't understand that now Again, I'm just kind of getting my head around this and it's possible that everything is being installed into like another portion of the System where it still doesn't have access to any of that protected stuff and that means that you don't actually have to install it with A root password or a pseudo password So I don't understand why that is that's something that I'm gonna have to discover and kind of learn over the next month or So because if you if I were to install this if I didn't already have it installed It would go through and install it all the way to the end never asking for a password now the one thing that you should know whether You use this or not is that if you install through this System you do have to restart your computer afterwards because this is making actual changes to your system by installing a binary of them and You if you were to install this and not restart you wouldn't have access to them until you did restart it now I know that sounds a little bit like Windows, but the benefits are is that each time you install something at least as far as I can tell It makes a I don't think it's called a snapshot But it's something like that where if you've installed something you can actually use a previous version of your system And you can choose that version of your system inside grub So if you wanted to choose something before you installed them you could do so and like I said I don't think that this is meant as a backup system I'm pretty sure that instead it's meant to be for developers who are testing different versions of software or something like that Because it's not it doesn't say anything about butterfests even though I'm sure that Fedora uses butterfests and maybe that's what it's kind of basing it on but It calls it something different. I haven't really truly got into it yet But you kind of get the idea that that kind of thing kind of exists so you do have to restart your computer after installing software this way and That's why they suggest you to get as much of your software as possible through flat pack because if you use a flat back You don't have to restart your computer now That is the primary thing that makes Keena white and silver blue different is the way you install software are these two different ways and one of them is kind of More of a struggle than the other and it's really recommended that you always use flat pack wherever possible now again Like I said, I'm just getting my head around this so I'm probably explaining some of this stuff wrong, right? I'm still trying to learn. I've read through their documentation here. I've read all the way through this part here of Trying to do up gate upgrades rollbacks and stuff like that So I've had some idea of what I'm talking about but I'm still getting to some of this other stuff now one of the things that I don't know if I'll get into a lot is the idea of a toolbox and This allows from what I understand very very new level of understanding here But a toolbox allows you to create like a your own like sandbox and allows you to create a system inside there That will allow you to develop things without ever touching any part of your system Usually things like pod man and stuff like that But as you can tell I don't know much about containers So getting into this is going to take a little bit of mental strain on my part in order to actually understand this But that's for later. I haven't got into it at all yet All right, so outside of the odd way of installing software. What is the system like to use? Well This version of KDE is one of the most buggy versions of KDE that I've ever Used in my entire life and I've used KDE a lot over the last five years Like I used to be the biggest KDE fanboy ever It was my desktop environment of choice before I discovered window managers and this version of KDE plasma is very very buggy So I don't know if I'm going to be able to recreate this probably not but if I were to change a setting so let's just go to When we're window management here, no, that's not the right one Workspace behavior. Maybe yeah, there we go if I wanted to change the screen edge So I hit no action and hit apply that actually worked just fine What I've experienced is that the settings app crashes all the time And of course, it's not going to do it on camera. It's going to work perfectly fine I don't know why the settings app closes or crashes all the time But it does and it always does it right after you've hit apply. I don't know what's going on there I'm assuming that it's a KDE problem not a kina way problem But again, I haven't experienced it in other places. So that's been crashing all the time I've also had problems where when my monitors go to sleep and I come back One of the monitors is completely black now You can move windows around to that other monitor and they show up just fine You can use it just fine But it basically it just removes your wallpaper and the thing is is that's not a big deal I would just right click and do configure desktop and change the wallpaper back to what it was But you can't actually right click on it It is completely broken when it comes to the desktop being interactable I looked this up and this has been going on kde since 2015. There was a bug report in 2015 Where this somebody experienced this and apparently hasn't been fixed. So that's definitely a kde problem The weird thing is is I haven't experienced that specific problem on any other version of kde that I've used I have other problems with multi monitors on my arco install where things like when I turn the monitors on The panel moves from one screen to the other and back and forth. That's really weird But that's an xorg problem I'm pretty sure because xorg doesn't like keeping the names of the monitor static Which is a little weird, but that's kind of beside the point The only other thing that I should say is that this opium os tree command here is really slow like Really really slow now This is I don't know if it's based on dnf, but it definitely takes after dnf dnf is not the fastest package manager in the world On any day of the week you can make it faster. There are some tweaks to make dnf faster But for the most part there are many other package managers. They're just way faster than dnf rpm os tree is slower way slower than dnf is I have noticed that some programs and sell faster than others I'm assuming that has to do with package size, but just know going in if that's when you do use this Be prepared for it to take a little while now. I wonder if I can actually show you how slow this is so rpm os tree up I think it's update or is upgrade. I can't remember. Let's go back here and find out It is upgrade. Okay, so upgrade like so And move this here where you can actually see We'll see if that's actually takes as long as I think it did. It's actually probably going to go faster than Possible because I just did this last night Yeah, it's it's faster than it was But if you've waited a long time between updates that takes quite a while like I'm talking like 15 minutes It was last it took a long time last night And while that's not a big deal because you're not supposed to use the at least the the rpm os tree Installing very often at all. You're supposed to use flat pack I can see where when you do actually have to install an update That could take quite a while and that's just something that you should keep in mind Again, not that big a deal because you're not going to be updating and upgrading very often anyways But it's something to keep in mind. So those are my initial thoughts on keto white just again It's very early days. I've been using it for three or four days off and on and it's not a horrible experience The kde stuff kind of by the wayside. That's just because kde can be kind of buggy I'm not blaming keynaway for that the actual idea behind an immutable linux distribution At least so far is interesting one of the things I'm going to have to strive to do over the next month Is find a reason why people should use it or more like normal people should use it because from what I can tell At least so far is that this is mostly aimed at developers But the reason why I was so interested in it is because I've heard a lot of people talk about silver blue and Kena white and they talk about how this is going to be basically the future of linux how in the future every linux distribution is going to be immutable And maybe that's true because like the steam deck has an immutable operating system on it The user has no access to that lower level system and if the steam deck does that you can see how other linux distributions and Things like that are going to try to kind of emulate that they're going to try to Take that idea and like everything that fedora does it kind of filters down into the rest of the linux community And eventually they all adopt the things that fedora does so if that holds true The immutability of the operating system is something that will also flow down into other distributions So that's why I wanted to take a look at it and see what the future holds if this is the future How's it going to be, you know, is it going to be great or is it going to suck? You know, are we all going to have to go back to using windows or is linux going to continue to be, you know, pretty cool? Well, so far It's okay. Uh, there's definitely some things that are different. There's definitely some things that I would change but so far You know, it's not that it's still interesting to me. I haven't Nuked and paved yet. So that is it for this video if you have thoughts on Kino white or silver blue you can leave those in the comment section below I again, I just want to reiterate that this is very early days and I may or may not have done a very good job of explaining What this actually is? So if you have questions leave them in the comment section below I will try to answer them or maybe somebody else will have a better answer than I will That's always possible Usually likely anyways, if you want to follow me on twitter You can do so if you want to follow me on mastedon or any other social media network You can find those links in the video description If you'd like to support me on patreon, you can do so patreon.com Slash linux cast I'd like to thank my current patrons robert sid devon patrick fred kramer Trydevil maiglin jackson i'm tool steve separate linux garrick samo kb tgb keith andy uncle bonehead gary antoine Mitchell d dog carbon data jeremy shone odin martin ross edwardo art stern elliott mislaw Merrick camp drash li peter a crucible dark venus experiments vm.

Alright, thank you. Hello everyone, welcome to the TSC call. As you all know, I think I'm looking at the list of participants and I only see it in no other name so I think you all know the drill we have to go through. I have to remind you of the antitrust policy, as well as the code of conduct. Other than that, everybody is welcome to join and contribute to this call. So, with that taken care of getting lawyers happy, we can move forward with the meeting. First, I want to start with a bunch of reminders. I will do that until we reach the deadline of those things. Well, the weekly developer newsletter is an ongoing thing. There is the mentorship program. There's still time to submit the project proposal. It's until March 11, so I encourage you to look into it. It's a great opportunity to get other people on board. And then there is the Hyperledia Global Forum. There's a call for proposals has been sent out and it closes on March 12. So please do subscribe, submit proposals. So do we have Ellen on the call? Yeah, Ellen, I see you. Good morning. Hey, hi. I'll let you take care of that piece. Oh, sure. Thank you so much. I've created a wiki page for the White Paper and Greenhouse Graphic Update Task Force. On that wiki page, Anthony and Hart have already indicated that they'd like to participate in this effort. If you're new or anybody on this or you know anybody who might want to join us as we look at the Hyperledia Intro White Paper and the Greenhouse Image Graphic, which I know I believe has been brought up before about being problematic to certain respects. If you have opinions or want to share, want to be a part of it, please add your name to the participant list. We're getting a our first kickoff meeting going. So the time commitment should be relatively light. We will be leveraging some technical writer and, you know, LF graphics teams to kind of do the dirty work. So, hoping that we can have a lot of folks join us and help with some of the outline and editing and we can go from there. So please, please join us all are encouraged. And then I will actually join this task force. I mean, as you may all know, or should all know, this has been, you know, the confusion about the umbrella greenhouse kind of picture has been discussed many times brought up. And so this is our chance to actually help improve the situation. So I encourage, you know, well, maybe not it we maybe not want everybody on the task force but you know it'd be nice to have a few people who are motivated enough to try and make a difference. All right, thank you. Any other announcements from anyone. Well, I will interject a question then. I don't know if anybody has the answers. This is towards the staff. There's been some of us were discussing proposals to submit to the global forum. And there was the question about, you know, how many, how many submissions have been made and I'll be more specific there was this question there was this idea or we could have a series of presentations on this global theme of interoperability. And, you know, we're discussing well is that does that have any chance to be accepted. And, you know, so I said, well, I think in the past there's been a lot of submissions so it's not very likely it would be allocated a whole series of presentations, but I was wondering if the staff has near input on that. You mean like like a track during the two three days plan on interop. I don't know if I would call that a track but at least you know it was like we're talking about having two or three presentation and a panel. Yeah, I mean, the submissions are coming in. Okay, I think any quality submission is either going to get into this calendar, get into the agenda or frankly be fodder for a lot of the other places we have to talk about things. There's a lot of submissions in the hyperledger ecosystem so we really would encourage, I think people to submit if there's if there's like a series of different talks, or you think they build upon each other, submit them independently and I'm sure the program committee will look at them kind of in total and, and make a good call on that front. We're almost ready to announce the program committee. So that's that's well timed in this front but yeah. Okay, you heard that. Yep. Sorry, I just wanted to chime in. I think that the question really is, would each of those talks be evaluated separately and submitter would get a feedback on you know three out of five are make sense but student, or should it be evaluated as a single and, and then you know it has to be differently allocated in the program, and also there is a risk running running into a risk of declining it because some content was good but not all of it. I mean, for us it was mostly because, you know, if we were told there's no chance you can have that many slots then we would frame things a bit differently to still cover the, the cracks of the matter we want to cover. And so, it's almost like, can we do this and if not, we'll do that. And, you know, just submitting and pieces and having some pieces except that others not doesn't quite work but I suppose we could adjust after. That's okay. Well, thank you very much. I think we can deal with it. The thing is that program committee will be providing feedback on all of the talks. So I'm sure it can be just very flexible. And I would say submit the way that you want to submit and the committee will work with you on it. All right, thank you. Thanks for that input. I thought you heard that right hot is the guilty. Thanks, and I heard. Thanks for asking. You're welcome. I figured it was an opportunity to get an answer right away so. All right, so with that taken care of if there is no other questions or announcements. Let's go to the quality reports. They were two reports submitted. One on grade one on transact. I did they were they just submitted so I will understand if not everybody has other chance to look at them yet, but nevertheless, at least, you know, well I want to ask if anybody has any questions already or comments, they want to bring up at this point. And if not, I didn't see, I mean the reports themselves didn't call for any specific issues to be brought up to the TSE so I don't think there is anything specific for us to do or talk about in this regard. Yeah, and I look now and I see most people have already checked their boxes saying they reviewed it so I think we're in pretty good shape. All right, so I don't see any. And raised. I will take it that we are in good shape. So, let's get to the crux of this meeting. I see rise eager and already switched to that. So we received the request to move the areas project from to from incubation to active status. I want to commend the effort from the project and putting a, you know, extensive report together. I don't think we've seen that quite, you know, to that extent before, very well done. And so, I didn't see many comments on the, on the wiki page but this is your chance. I know there was initially a little bit of back and forth some respect with we are the CIA badges. This has been taken care of. So, does anybody have any questions or comments they want to make on this. Otherwise, maybe Steven you can take us through the, you know, high level crux of the application. Yep. You know, Aries has been around for year and a half. It started in March of 2019. The vision has evolved a little from what was put in in the original proposal and I think that caused a delay in, in this request we didn't quite know as a community. We didn't know what it would mean to be ready to go. So it has areas has at this point fewer shared components than we originally thought there would be we thought there would be, you know, this core single code base, and a bunch of frameworks built on top of this core base, as it turned out. The core is the set of RFCs that define protocols and the actual implementations the frameworks have been created more or less independently. I think Indy as the core base, one in particular Aries go being completely independent of Aries there of Indy not using Indy at all. As we move forward, that that will will adjust and those two are merging together and that will probably happen in the next few months, but in the meantime, there's been a ton of, of action, both inside the community in building the components and then outside the community using the components just flat out taking the code and, and building solutions, both POC is production and so on. The state is such that it's pretty mature. And we're at a point where we definitely think there shouldn't be that incubation tag on the on the project but it should be active. And that's what this efforts been about. Alright, thank you. Back to the TSC members. Does anybody have any questions or comments. Yes, Tracy, please. I moved to allow areas to move to active. Hot. That was second Tracy's proposal. Now you've raised your hands just to move. Let's not get too formal guys. Alright, so we're going to have a call for vote. I should do that. Oh, let's do it by. Well, I guess we could use the raising hands since you seem to like this. I want to do that on the zoom window. I don't have a favor can thumb up. Wait, I lost this. Where is that button? I don't have the button to raise my head. I keep seeing everybody raise their hand or thumbs up. This is like super cool. Could we not do this. Can I just do a roll call vote please. Okay. Yes, Angelo. Angelo on the matter before the TSC how do you vote. I second. Okay. No, you have to approve or not. I approve. I know. Yes. I run. I'm with it. I approve. Yes, I approve. Bobby. Yes, approve. Yeah. Yes, approve. David. Yes. Gary is not able to answer. Yes. Yes. Grace. Approve. Heart. Yes. Maria. Yes. Nathan. Yes. Tracy. Yep. Troy. Yes. The matter before the TSC. You know, passes with. Two abstentions. Gary and Mark were out of the meeting so they could not vote. Yep. Okay. Thanks so much. That's awesome. See, it was worth trying. Isn't it? It was. I'm glad because I encourage you to.  So I'm glad this is great. I think it's well deserved. And you know, as I've said before, the one thing that always blocks people or projects, I should say, is the diversity when we talk about, you know, having many different contributors from different, you know, with different affiliations. And I think areas of all projects within hyperledger is the. Largest diversity by far. So. I think it's well deserved. You can do the other. Booming projects. So keep up the good work. All right. So that's great. Didn't take very long. So let's move on. I wanted to go back to the project maturity. And slash badging proposal. So then I'll put a proposal together quite a few weeks ago. It's made of two parts. The, there is definition of badges itself. And then there is the process for, you know, how the badges are being managed. And the second part created a little bit of concerns among some of us. And we discussed this on the call. And basically, Daniel was asked to revise it to kind of make it a bit less. I don't see less formal, but less maybe procedural.  So, uh, Daniel did revise the process. And so I'll let you talk a little bit about that. I know if you will. So that's okay. Same page. Right. Could you click on the process badging project badging subpage? Yeah, right there. The link. Right. So this was the, yeah, the revision I talked about. Um, so, you know, working in. Ethereum and DeFi. And I didn't even follow up with things. You hadn't just started to think from the worst case scenario and work backwards because that has to be what happens. So everybody is this from the opposite approach with the worst case scenario gets the least amount of text. Um, so it's still the same basic process we had before. Um, just with less prescriptive description on what happens when things start to go bad. Um, the project still self-certified for the badges. Um, they put it in their quarterly reports sticking with that idea for the cadence. Um, and you'll note when I updated the other page with the, um, with the bad frequencies, everything's either a year or perpetual. So going forward, we add new badges if there used to be a quarterly, you know, there used to be something more, more frequent than yearly. Um, so it should probably have some alignment to quarterly so that every year, like on the second quarter, everyone recertified bad days or they set some sort of pattern in their reports that they do a different one each week. I mean, each quarter. So one of the things I really liked about the high village areas proposal is they provide a really good example is what I was thinking of when you self certified and find the evidence. Um, they listed the, the sub part and they provided a description of what they said and they had a link to go to it. And that is what I had envisioned in my mind when I said that these badges self certified and this can either be on a separate page or part of the quarterly reports. And again, this is done quarterly. And if everyone's happy with what's presented, you know, process ends here, your badge goes up. Um, we believe the self certifications. Uh, we, we trust the projects to work well. The next step is discussion. And this is where I think things were changed the most. Um, changing the perspective of how do you come in when you're not so certain about a self certification? Um, the requirement is, if anyone has to disagrees with it, they have to discuss it with the team, um, probably in one of their public forums, either on their, they're, you know, on a video call or in a chat room or in their email list.  The objection could be withdrawn or there could be more evidence presented because a lot of these discussions, it's a question of, is this the right kind of evidence we're looking for? Um, but like any mediation, there's a chance of things may come to an impasse.  So the only step after that, they can't come to a mutual resolution and a mutual resolution step have to be attempted first before they can do this. And then whoever's challenging it can ask the TSC to rule on it. The TSC does not have to take it up. And I didn't write in any formal procedures on here that they, the TSC, when it's challenged, uh, handles how they're going to, you know, describe how they're going to do it rather than prescribing it ahead of time. And that's where a lot of the text from the previous one came from. And the general process is that if it's challenged, if it goes to TSC, um, the TSC, if they vote to take it away, it gets taken away. Otherwise it stands.  Um, just going to have to trust that the, the mood of the TSC is that they don't handle it fairly. And if we're wrong, we can adjust, um, stuff then. But, you know, really when it gets down to resolution, um, there's been some sort of a failure anyway. So, um, you know, it's going to be contentious anyway, but it's going to be a little bit of a mess. But it's going to be a little bit of a mess. And it's going to be a little bit of a mess at that point. So there's, you know, I don't see the value, you know, We're not, we're not the, we're not the court system. Not a mechanical system. When it gets to this point of resolution. So there's probably, you know, TSC is probably going to have some of their own discussions. In band and out of band. And if it gets to a vote, things have really failed. But, you know, this is a, you know, sometimes it might happen. So. When that's the end of the process there. Um, you know, if you scroll down the screen a couple of bits about, can you scroll down for two more bullet points? Yeah. The issue about renewable and perpetual batch is about how frequently you get it. And then I struck through the original stuff. You have a taste for people who view it to see what was the original proposal. Um, whole thing there is just struck through. Like you with the legislation. This would not go in. Um, the TSC, but it may or may not stay on the wiki. I think that's a good point. Thank you. And so on the other page, I know you did some reformatting cleanup, which, but it was there for many. That's what I was thought, right? It's only for matters. There was one change that I think Tracy requested. For the legal batch. Um, because, you know, licensing isn't as you strict. If the, if the governing committee, the governing. The governing committee approves a license exception, then, you know, you passed it, obviously. So I think that's a good point. Can you go back to the other page? Right. I think Grace has her hand up. Yeah, Grace. Thanks, Dan. This is great. Just first of all, but I just have one quick question on the bad process. So I think. I like the badges that you proposed. It's kind of our starting points, but I imagine maybe I will. We'll add some new badges. Uh, maybe diversity inclusion being one, maybe. Uh, how would we account for, uh, adding new badges to, um, uh, to the proposal? Would that just be a TSC decision? I'm just not sure. I saw that in the doc. I did not consider that in the doc. I would consider that to be a separate proposal. To add it as an eligible badge. And there would be. These badges came almost entirely whole cloth from the active requirements and was a starting point. So I'm happy to add and remove before we go for the first pass, but I also expect in the future, more badges will be added and removed. There was discussion. Other badge about responsiveness to issues that I think is a great one. We should consider adding stuff that goes above and beyond what simply takes to be active. Um, and stuff like D and I. And, um, the E I and. I think it's a good question, Grace, but I do think the answer is, yeah, people can make proposals that would go through the TSC. You say, Hey, I would like to propose a new badge and you make a spread. And with the TSC could vote on that. And then it would be added. If it's accepted. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Thank you. And I don't think we need to have that written into this. That's for me kind of like what I would expect a normal part of the process. Arun. Quick question. So will, will those objections by, let's say contributors. Will those be made publicly available? I don't think that would be public. I don't know if there would be a formal form to fill out. I object on this grounds and here's my standards. And I expect this level of jurisdiction. I don't think we're going to go to that formality, but if you pay attention to the projects, you would see it. Does that answer your question? Yeah. You're okay with that. I mean, I'm trying to understand what the. No, the reason behind that was trying to understand. So I mean, because the first step is to get involved with maintainers. Trying to see if. The same things do not repeat. Now and then, right. So that was the kind of thing which I was, that was the thought process, which was going through in my mind. Okay. Yep. And I saw. Sorry, go ahead. So it makes the same objection to multiple projects. Maybe that's something we should bubble up to the TSC and. Wish out to all the projects equally. Is that your concern? Similar objections. Let's say it. The objection is valued for three months and then similar objection comes again. Or maybe similar objection. Or from some other people. Yeah, that's a good point. And I, you know, I also don't think. I mean, you know, I please speaking for myself, I tend to think when you talk like this, I think it seems to be pretty adversarial. Yeah. But in fact, I think in reality, the most likely scenario is, you know, it's not going to be adversarial in nature. It's going to be just based on different understanding of expectations, but what's behind the badge and how it should be implemented. And that's why I would hope for more, you know, cases where it's a friendly. You know, fairly friendly discussion. Say, Hey, I don't think that should, you know, that qualifies because these are that, and then they may be missing this or disagreement of views, you know, and say, well, I didn't think it was like this. And then you take it to the TSE and the TSE can roll and hopefully you can clarify. Update the definition of the badges and. I would hope that we can, you know, refine the model as we move forward. But your point is good.  Tracy. Yeah, so I think I put this in the other. Yeah. The other page, but I think, you know, if we can make the criteria completely objective. Then we can probably do something whereby, you know, checking the LFN. Analytics right to see if they follow within a range. So I included on the other page that DCI badging. Proposal that exists out there. From chaos.  It's in the. It's in the. The comments. So the. It's probably the very last one right. So in here, right? They have different percentages of the requirements met to get the different things very similar to the CIA badge. That the areas folks should be familiar with rates as far as, you know, whether it's pending passing. Or, you know, they exceed basically. So, you know, I, I'm wondering is there a way for us to make our badges such that we can look at the LF analytics tool, get the result back programmatically and be able to issue the badge without somebody having to claim that they. Should get a badge. You know, and that makes it very objective and no kind of discussion back and forth. As far as the, you know, challenges might be, might come up. I also really liked the project encouragement of, you know, the badge could like be automatically unlocked. It would make a pleasant surprise. Yeah. So that, you know, I think for some badges for sure, it should be pretty simple. I don't know if it works for all badges, but if we could do that, at least for some, that would already be. You know, reduce the possible friction. But I don't know how feasible it is. Nathan, I saw you on mute there for a second. Yeah. I think there's at least a few badges we could probably do this way, though. I don't know how hard the tooling would be. You know, if we could automatically unlock certain thresholds of contributors or certain organizational diversity badges, just off the statistics that we have in the analytics site, it would make a really nice pleasant surprise for the projects. And I think could serve as something that's quite encouraging. Yeah. And I mean, you know, the objective, they works both ways, right? Because it's, I mean, we saw it with areas, for instance, they were, they didn't think they would qualify to move to active status, right? And we had to say, but wait, have you seriously considered that? Maybe you'd be surprised. And, you know, it's similar here.  The people are going to aggressively want to claim badges and others who will shy away and, you know, I don't think we qualify. And there'll be some discrepancy. Because of that. That's, that's the human factor that, you know, unless you have tools that automate this, you're going to have to deal with. So I don't know.  I, my concern is, unless it's automatic, like you would, you know, you're going to have to do it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. My concern is, unless it's automatic, like you were just talking about this adds yet another, it makes it even more subjective. I'm wondering if it doesn't, which makes it even harder. It's like, well, not only you're asking me, I, I, you know, I qualify or not, but by how much, if I'm already not sure about the answer, asking me to which level makes it maybe worse. I don't know. Yeah, I think it has to be automatic. And, you know, I think that there were some, some attempts, if you will, from the X analytics folks, right?  And I think if we could have them basically be able to validate certain criteria that we're making, that's, that, that's key. All right. Any other comments or thoughts? I want to expand on what Tracy just said there. As far as I know, hyperledger would be the first. So this could be something that hyperledger pioneers. And because it would become available in insights, it may be much more broadly adopted. So I would really be, I think it would really be awesome if we could get these features into insights and possibly into the broader open source community. That's a good point. Do we have resources to develop something like this? Maybe that's Christian for Brian. I don't know. I, I'd be willing to spend money. And I bet I could find others at the Linux Foundation interested in spending money on automating parts of this. So, um, can't, can't say it's an open wallet, but yeah. Okay. Well, that's encouraging. At least you're not saying, no, no, don't, don't even think about it. Forget it. Okay. This is what I was picturing. Like here on your bat on your card page for your project, there could be a badge like right here. Yeah. And then that would spread to other projects. I would hope.  It, uh, I mean, one of my concerns about the proposal, I really like the proposal and thank you, Daniel for, you know, putting the, put the proposal together. I like it. I think it makes sense. It would be, you know, in my opinion, it's progress from what we have today. My only concern is the cost of maintenance of those badges. We're putting on the projects.  I wouldn't want us to just say, yep, we're going to impose that on all the projects.  Because I'm afraid they're maintainers going to bad, react badly and say, oh, thank you, TSE.  And they may see that as a, you know, something. You can't let's just streamline this and slipstreaming them with the quarterly reports. Yes.  We're just giving them an objective standard to say, well, here's some things you can report on rather than these questions about, well, what do you have to ask the TSE that are objective and provide actual numbers for, not numbers, but necessarily more, more solid feedback is to help with the project rather than, are you healthy? Yeah. No, I hear you. Yeah. No, I hear you. And I, you know, I'm talking, I can talk both sides of that. Oh, that's a argument. Grace has their hand up. Yeah, I think, you know, I'd be excited to try this out. I think there's always ways to improve and iterate. I think the solving for one of the biggest challenges or criticism that we get is, you know, incubation active really don't mean what you think they mean in the public. Yes. So being able to say, you know, actually like this is how we're evaluating how projects are, you know, embedding in the quarterly report I think is a great idea and create some system around it. Do I think we'll have to iterate a little and maybe in three, six months say, okay, what worked, what didn't, you know, let's iterate a little. I think that's, that's great. But I think this really sets us on the right path if that makes sense. So, yes. And so just want to kind of keep that in mind of kind of the problem we're solving. Yeah, no, no, I agree. You're absolutely right. So I think that's correct. Angelo. Yes, thank you. I was feeling the following. I was feeling the following. If you are, if you are giving out objective clear criteria to assign these badges at this point, what the problem to me becomes more these criteria themselves. I mean, if you have a clear way to compute a given a given badge, then why do we need to provide anything at all? I mean, in the sense that we just put out the criteria for which certain we think certain badges make sense and how to compute them out to compute this criteria. Then it's up to the project. If they want to publish this, they want to get this criteria. If they think that this badge will make their project better. Why we should compute this criteria for them? I mean, we should only define what the criteria is. And the algorithm to compute it. Yeah, so, so. Well, there are two things in what you say. I mean, I think there's value in having badges that show with the outcome of the evaluation is whether they should be forced onto everybody or whether we can leave that as some of voluntary activity from for the projects. I don't know that interesting idea. So there is a question now for us is that, you know, what I'm not sure about is I can see that. I mean, does anybody think we should just not do any of this? Seems like people who have been speaking are more or less in support of this. Yeah, let's keep working on this. I would be happy to say yes, let's approve this at the same time. You know, I, we have a bunch of questions that have been raised that for which we don't have an answer yet. So there's like the tooling aspect. Can we make some of this automatic? We're not going to have an answer of this, but this right away. Do we stop manually and then if there's a tool that comes along then at some point we can say now you can stop doing that and really just use the tool. Do we want to say, okay, projects go ahead and start implementing this or do we say that's the rule of the law now, the rule of the land, or do we say, let's try this, you know, let's give ourselves some trial period and say, for the next six months people should stop working with those badges, see what happens. I don't know. I'm just speaking out loud there. Tracy. So I guess I might speak against this at the moment, because I think if we do something like this, it potentially stops us from moving forward with something that is automated. But I guess, you know, two questions that I have, one, do we have any projects on the call right now that would be to try all this and see how painful it is. And then, you know, if there is great, but I, I'm a little leery to force this on everybody at the moment when we don't know of the total overhead that is going to cause. Yeah. Yeah, that's a bit what I was thinking. So thank you. So I'm in favor of, of reducing the burden on, on project reports as you, I mean, I would, I would prefer to try out as possible to automate before we push it. Okay. Angelo. Yeah, just to say that I'm personally against any pattern holistic approach, we should not tell the projects that we should not force the project to do this. This things, we should put it, if we think that the badges can help, that should contain an automatic incentive for the project to say, oh, we should, we should compute out the metrics that allow us to, to put the badge in place. So once the TSC gives us the definition of the badges and how to compute the metrics. If they really make sense, there will be an automatic incentive for the project makes sense. But what it means that who wants to use this project out from, from the community, from the, from, from the community or whatever a company wants to use this project. It will have an incentive looking at the, it will look at these badges. If it doesn't find these badges, you will not choose the project. So you see, we have an automatic incentive mechanism that is input in place without being paternalistic, it's just a competition in, in, in place. Yep. No, sounds good. Thank you. Anyone else?  I think it seems like we agree, maybe a trial period would be interesting to do. So yeah, that, that I think Tracy's question was, which project is volunteering to do this? I mean, we don't have to have an answer now, but do we know of any yet? Basically, we'll do it on their next quarter of the report. Cool. Dave, maybe we can try to do that for fabric, put you on the spot. Dave, Dave Maynard? He's not responding. I'm interested in looking into it for fabric, so I can try and give it a shot that tentatively for long time. I may need some help from my colleagues there, but I think it's something that I'm interested in doing. And obviously, you know, the door is not closed. So if other projects are interested in trying it out, I think they should do that. So we can basically inform the projects that there is this system we are developing. We're interesting feedback of, about, you know, what it, what it actually means to, to, to implement this proposal. And then we can, based on the feedback we get and the experiment, you know, we can rediscuss this. Does that sound like a reasonable way forward, Dano? Yeah, that sounds reasonable. And, you know, because of my workload, I don't have time to rework the badges to put formal automated systems in to, to judge it or even set the standards for those. So people are interested in seeing those, feel free to propose them. I think that's something we need is, if you feel that the automated numbers are important and what those numbers should be, please help specify those. Yes, absolutely. Thank you. I mean, I'm following on that front, there's no doubt that, you know, I'm pretty sure that as we implement those, we are going to come up with questions and say, oh, what, what about this? What about that? And we'll have to refine the definition. And I mean, Grace said it earlier, I think we will have to iterate for, for a while at least, before we can settle on something that actually makes sense where people are not left with a bunch of questions. I mean, we've seen it, even with the executive criteria of the, of incubation, right? People have questions, say, well, what does that mean exactly? And we had some, we made some changes over time. So I think here I'll be the same. Okay, I'm happy to leave it at that for now. Any other comments, final comments on this? What was it? I think we're done with that. And that's all I had on the agenda. I don't know if there's anything else anybody wants to bring up now. We have almost 15 minutes left. But otherwise, I, you know, I'm happy to close the call earlier and ask everybody to spend the next 15 minutes that they won't have to spend on the call and looking into some of the pending issues we have, there's a whole bunch of issues that we have raised, not all of them actually, and maybe that's a mistake. I should capture that. But, you know, we still have several items that we're going to be discussing. So we have the SIG discussion that Tracy had that left pending need, you know, work. There is the, just off the top of my head, there is the story about the sponsors for the labs.  And for which we need like people to chime in and help out making progress so that we can come to that. So I'm happy to close the call now and, you know, direct all of your attention to those items. Pick and choose whichever topic is, you know, of interest to you. Just try and make progress. Does it sound good for everybody? All right, I'll take silence as a yes. Okay, so let's close the call on this then.


This study examined the effectiveness of two differed policies for replacing critical reputable components in six hydraulic excavators at an open pit mine. One policy relied on the manufacturer's recommended meantime between failure, MTBF, while the other policy relied on meantime between intervention, MTBI. The MTBI policy proved more effective than the MTBF policy, resulting in lower maintenance costs and higher levels of reliability.


Je donne la parole à madame Nathalie de La Palme, qui est des artistes exécutifs de la Fondation Moe Ibrahim. Il y a undoubtedly un impact, jusqu'à notre maillement, mais des risques concernant le reste. L'économie et le social impact sont moins qu'à d'autres régions. Mais, en le même temps, c'est probablement une grande opportunité. Je n'ai pas oublié. Il faut appuyer. Quand vous pouvez la parole, s'il vous plaît, appuyez sur le bouton. Parce que quand vous appuyez, tout est enregistré. Quand vous appuyez, le micro vient vers vous et la caméra aussi. Merci. Tu m'as entendu ? Ah oui, c'est beaucoup mieux. Je suis désolé pour cela. Mais, en le même temps, la santé, l'impact, la maillement jusqu'à maintenant, mais les risques concernant le reste. L'économie et le social impact sont moins qu'à d'autres régions. Donc, on n'a pas été entrés au post-COVID en Afrique. Encore une fois, c'est probablement une grande opportunité pour réveiller le modèle de l'economie. Si nous prenons la santé, il y a plus d'impact et plus d'impact. Maintenant, pourquoi plus tard et plus tard ? Plus tard, parce que nous avons, en fait, une décision impressive, immédiate action d'Afrique, instructée par Ebola, et supportée par une forte leadership. C'est important d'éloigner que, à l'aéroport de l'Afrique, et en tant que gouvernement, en fait, la plupart des pays de l'Afrique ont déployé des banques plus rapides globalement, qui ont rapidement apporté nos capacités de tracé, et qui ont mis en place des mesures de lockdown. Beaucoup ont fait une relation potentielle avec la majorité de jeunes et une possible immunité induite par Malaya Coverage. Le climat sait, mais la recherche est en train de regarder. D'ailleurs, la première wave a apporté relativement tard et restait initialement moins forte que dans d'autres régions. Mais peut-être que c'était seulement un autre cas de l'Afrique qui était derrière. Et maintenant, la plupart des régions au niveau double sont sur la 4e wave. D'accord, quand la plupart des régions sont sur la route pour la récupération, beaucoup de pays africains sont déjà sur la 4e wave avec un rate de vitesse qui est en train de prendre plus et plus de vitesse. Si nous prenons les numéros, exactement 4 mois plus tard, au 1er mai, nous avons eu un petit peu plus que 4,56 millions de cases récordées. Exactement 4 mois maintenant, au 1er octobre, nous avons 8,32, ce qui est un rate de plus que 80%. Un rate de plus que 80% au cours des dernières 4 mois. Plus si nous sommes francs, nous savons seulement que les données sont récordées et nous avons besoin d'être conscients ici parce que nous tous connaissons la faute de la date africaine. Juste un fact, seulement 4 pays de 54 ont un système de déficit de mort. Maintenant, pourquoi plus profond ? Parce que c'est la paix qui a déjà fait des systèmes de santé en Afrique. Si nous prenons les ressources humaines, par exemple, 1 outre de 4 physicians africains sont currently working in high income countries. In Sub-Saharan Africa, you have less than 2 physicians for 10,000 people compared to 34 in Europe. Infrastructure and logistics then, including access to reliable energy and water, clean water. In Sub-Saharan Africa, on average, you have 135 hospital beds for 100,000 people. We have 40 countries without one ventilator per country. And only a quarter of health facilities in Sub-Saharan Africa have access to reliable electricity. The second point is that COVID impact at health level has led to an upsurge of other often stronger killers, HIV, malaria, TB. Due to the eviction effect led by COVID. And most probably, current studies are now assessing that we could come back when it comes to TB to the level of 10 years ago. So this is really a matter for concern. Now, this weakness can be linked to insufficient domestic commitment up to now. In 2018, in Sub-Saharan Africa, Sub-Saharan African countries spent less than 2% of their GDP on public health, which is the second lowest level at global level and which is probably linked to an over-reliance from donor's help, multilateral institution, bilateral partners or foundations. And then, last but not least, the current scandal of vaccine inequity, we have talked about it a lot over the last two days, but we need to remember that Africa represents almost 20% of the world's population, but only less than 3% of the current vaccinated people. This is a matter of concern specifically for the frontline health worker. Now, if we look at the economic and social landscape, we have here a very heavy impact more so than in any other region. At economic level, this is a heavy blow with a kind of double confinement effect. We could say double pain. But the African populations were confined in their own country because also because Africa has been confined by the rest of the world. And indeed, when you look at figures, there again, Africa has hit recession for the first time in 25 years. Minus, almost minus 2% at continental level in 2020. Even if, as you know, il y a une autre line yesterday. Some countries have continued to grow. You had 12 countries in 2020 that grow. And even if indeed, in 2021, the growth projected almost 5% is higher than what was initially projected. However, we are still falling short by in 2021 150 billion pré-pandémique projections. Secondly, the recovery is going to be slower. Falling short tier 2 of pre-pandémique projection until 2024, with a current loss over the year 2019-2024, estimated at 850 billion by recent IMF projections. Some countries in Africa may take at least 7 years to recover their pré-pandémique level. So one point here to underline is the growing inequality on the continent between Africa countries. I'm underlining this because this growing inequality is a matter for concern and a recipe for instability. Now here again why we have the same factor somehow which is an excessive dependency on external demand which completely collapsed for a while between commodities or in tourism which was a growing business in Africa over the last 10 years. Social, what do we see at social level? A very heavy impact there too, leading there to the growing inequalities this time within the countries. What do we see? At education we see, we have seen everywhere in the world children out of school 28 weeks in average which is roughly the global average the big difference in Africa is the lack of remote learning tools so these children out of school they have lost one year of education and there has been a particular impact for the girls because the studies have shown that many of these out of school girls got pregnant and will never go back to school so it's something that needs to be watched. We have seen also we are seeing gender issue with growing violence against women. We see poverty issue with a growing number of poor probably projection made by assessment by UNICA 40% of total population of the continent in 2021 will be in a situation of extreme poverty food insecurity the Covid crisis has arrived on top of probably one of the worst locus plague over the last 70 years so this has worsened the situation the situation itself has been caused by the lockdown effects where quite a lot of people were unable to go and buy food or unable to go and farm whatever they had to farm and as for health products we also see here excessive reliance on imported products when it comes to food 80% of food products are imported out of Africa 95% for health products Civic and democratic space I won't be long here because I'm sure that other will have much more to say than me but we have seen excessive and unjustified restriction both in civic and democratic space that are a matter for concern now this was this deterioration was already there pre Covid as you mentioned Mr President but undoubtedly the Covid situation a definitely worsened and I very often serve as protect to worsen this situation on top of that as you know most African countries didn't have the fiscal space that allowed them to put in place mitigation plans to help the economic and social impact of Covid when you consider for example that most fiscal resources come from customs the loss assessed from Covid is something more than 35% of the fiscal resources for 2020 and last but not least very complex and complexifying with China being now the largest single sector and when I'm seeing China it's multiple Chinese creditors which makes the solving of it quite complicated now all this while the start assessment or facts must not lead to a gloomy conclusion and in fact on the contrary there is a silver lining to this very heavy current crisis but by laying bare vulnerabilities or deficiencies that were mentioned by President Kagame himself yesterday of most African current economic and social models basically with an excessive dependency on both external demand and external supply this general crisis has been a wake up call so if just to replicate a very much used quote never let a good crisis go to waste and we all know that there is no deep change if it's not triggered by a very heavy crisis people otherwise don't see the need or the interest to change anything in the way they are doing business let me just take the example of vaccines all of a sudden health has changed its status when it comes to public policies from something that was up to now basically left to donors to something that has become a matter of domestic security and to the need to ensure what's now called health sovereignty and this is a very important change first what happened was the wish and even the request vous avez pris plus du double du temps vous avez pris plus du double du temps on avait dit 7 minutes plus vous avez plus de 16 minutes déjà conclut pour un avance merci so the wish and the request to be able to buy the needed vaccine and when it happened it was impossible because of the need from other countries the need and the commitment to build quickly a stronger vaccine manufacturing capacity making the case making a business case of it there is a market for this vaccine manufacturing capacity and it will create local employment so to conclude here two points that are linked back to all the discussions we've had over the last two days the first one is the obvious connection of Africa situation at global level bit about health economy of security if Africa continues to remain until this vaccination level it will become an incubator for other variants economy if recovery doesn't pick up there is no way the continent has the means for any green recovery and last but not least security and stability you mentioned terrorism Madame le premier ministre vous avez dit qu'il y a 70% de la population en 35% mais si les jeunes continuent à voir un procès de truie nous sommes en train d'avoir plus de migration plus d'attractivité d'un terroriste et de crimes plus de social unrest et plus d'inconflict la deuxième point est que dans cette landscape complétie il y a un mouvement réinforcé pour une nouvelle partnership de nouvelles alliances de stratégie et de balances avec des Etats-Unis des Etats-Unis dans le continent africain pour faire le meilleur de cette nouvelle landscape merci et excusez-vous


Russia is stoking Serbia Kosovo's tensions to distract from Ukraine. The Kremlin is stoking Serbia Kosovo's tensions to distract from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. First Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo Beznik Veslimi told it. There is a tendency of Russia to deviate or distract the focus from Ukraine by opening new country zones, Veslimi told British Times Radio. Tensions between Serbia and Kosovo, a former Serbian province that declared its independence in 2008, which Belgrade doesn't recognize, have escalated in the past week. Serbian Defense Minister Milo Zusevich announced the country's army had been placed in its highest level of combat readiness following unverified reports that Kosovo police forces had opened fire on ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo. Kosovo authorities have denied the incident took place. Moscow, a close Serbian ally, said that it supported Belgrade in the actions that are being taken. Bezlimi told the Times Radio. There is recorded evidence that people in the paramilitary are being supported by the humanitarian center, a Russian center. So I think nobody is denying the presence of Russia and the influence of Russia. And if you want more details to understand how easily Russia can use this for conflicts, the recent attacks of these troops in Kosovo started during the night. Most probably heavily drunk people inside barricades because they're being supplied with a lot of alcohol, financial incentives, and all of this from the humanitarian center. Earlier, the EU and the US called in a joint statement for maximum restraint, saying Christina and Belgrade should refrain from provocations, threats, or intimidation over rising tensions.

In this study, researchers examined the relationship between birth weight and overweight, obesity, and hypertension in adolescents. They found that those who were born heavier were more likely to be overweight or obese during adolescence and also in higher blood pressure levels compared to those who were born lighter. Additionally, they observed that those who experienced weight loss during childhood had similar risks for hypertension as those who were born heavy.

Once in a while, I like to make arguments for positions I don't necessarily agree with. In a country trapped by its own geography, along with high unemployment and a governmental incompetence, Egypt does not seem like the most likely country to form its own political bloc. But Egypt is also surrounded by far less industrialized countries, some of which are literal failed states, and the country has some of the greatest internal unity in all of Africa. I am here today to explain Egypt's geopolitical position and the things it needs to do to secure its position from foreign threats. High population growth is both a blessing and a curse, depending on how well a country can manage it. Currently, Egypt struggles with a very quickly growing population, with the fertility rate remaining high with an average 3.3 barts per woman recorded in 2019, down from 6.7 in 1960. The population has doubled from 50 million to 100 million in just 35 years, and the growth seems to have no sign of slowing down. Egypt's geography has made this growth difficult to manage. With the population being tethered to the Nile River, surrounded by inhospitable desert, Egypt's thin fertile lands hold some of the most densely populated regions of the world. With the population growing so rapidly, water shortages are already starting to become an issue, and the country's farmers will have to find new ways to use water more efficiently. The entire livelihood of the country relies on this river, and any threat to its supply will damage the country's hull severely. With 70% of the water supply coming from the Nile, Egypt must be wise in its diplomacy with upstream nations to secure its survival. This issue will be explained in greater detail later on. Large young populations can fuel the economic growth of a country, but the possibility of millions of manufacturing and infrastructure jobs being created to help develop the country and employ the population. The creation of these jobs would require mass urbanization, which is a process beginning to sweep not just Egypt, but all of Africa. There's a flip side to this though, and the population can easily grow quicker than the creation of jobs. For those in the cities, this would lead to mass youth unemployment, inevitably leading to a rise of crime and social instability. Egypt suffers from this to a great degree. The poverty rate has increased over time in the country due to a rapidly growing population but inadequate economic growth. With 16.7 living under $1.45 a day in 2000, increasing to 27.8% in 2015, and further to 32.5% in 2018. Compounded with a median age of 24.6 years, Egypt simply has not been able to employ its rapidly growing young population. Events like the Arab Spring and rising Islamic extremism correlate with these trends as unemployed youth become roped into these movements without anything else to do with their time, and the hopes of a better life. On the other hand, if an economy remains agricultural, this wouldn't affect the country as much as the large youth population would be mostly employed on their parents' farms, or in mines. Economies cannot grow if they remain in the primary sector, as their position in global trade will mostly be to supply richer countries with their raw materials, who will in turn manufacture those materials into more expensive and useful goods. Egypt is much farther along in the industrialization process than its neighbors, and for that matter any country in Africa. Poor nations in the region could turn to Egypt to produce their raw goods into manufactured ones if they continued this process of industrialization. Egypt would need to capitalize on this though and invest in a large industrial sector to gain economic influence over its neighbors, instead of wasting money on a new capital city and funding war in Libya, a country unnecessary for Egypt's political survival. This kind of incompetence will continue to lag Egypt behind unless something is done to stop it, and I don't mean to individually call out Egypt, just look at America's government right now. Every country suffers from an incompetent government at one point or another. Benefiting Egypt over other countries in the region is its coherent national identity. In stark contrast to other African countries, the idea of Egypt has been around for millennia, and although they have been controlled under many foreign dynasties, the country is still ethnically and mostly religiously united. The vast majority, around 90%, identifies as Egyptian, Arab, and Muslim, though there are also other ethnic minorities. The most major of which is the Coptic people, a Christian ethnic minority in one of the oldest Christian communities in the world that make up around 10% of the population. Other smaller minorities include Siwa Berbers, Nubians, and nomadic Bedouins. Egypt can use its Arab identity to pull on other Arab states and peoples upstream the Nile to defend its water, as well as theirs. Sudan and Egypt have a similar issue. The vast majority of their water supply comes from the Blue Nile, of which Ethiopia is blocking up with their Renaissance dam. Both Sudan and Egypt share this animosity towards Ethiopia, as well as Sudan having border clashes with Ethiopia starting in 2020. The two countries signed a military cooperation deal in March 2021 due to their shared strategy. This is not the only way that Egypt is getting what it wants from Sudan, though. Since the 2019 ousting of long-standing dictator and war criminal Omar al-Bashir, the country has been ruled by a military council, allegedly making the transformation of Sudan to a democratic regime, focusing on stability. Egypt has taken great interest in being part of this transition to stability in Sudan. Military and political interests are not the only sites Egypt could have in Sudan. If Egypt develops its industrial sector, the two countries could form a strong economic partnership, where Sudan harvests raw materials for Egypt to produce into manufactured goods. This partnership would be beneficial for both countries, giving Egypt an economic sphere while also giving Sudan a much more affordable location to receive its manufactured goods from. Sudan is the most important country for Egypt to get in its sphere. The countries share the same goals, and with Sudan and their military, political, and economic alliance, Egypt can secure its interests deeper in the continent, too. Influence over South Sudan and Uganda is also a viable option for Egypt, as those countries control shares of the White Nile, which also carries a significant portion of Egypt's water supply. They can also work to pick off smaller agricultural states in the region into their sphere, also to secure a base in Northeast Africa. Ultimately, Egypt's main geopolitical goals should be to create a stable block of economic and military dependencies and secure its water supplies. The Blue Nile flows from Ethiopia's Lake Tana, and frankly, Ethiopia is the only one that can control what happens to their dam. Unless, of course, Egypt surrounds the country with allies and threatens war. Securing Lake Tana under its control would be really the only way that Egypt could fully secure its water interests. Egypt could potentially win in a war with Ethiopia, on the sole basis that it has Sudan as an ally, giving it a 30 million person advantage, and that Egypt has a more industrial capability than Ethiopia. Such a war would be brutal, however, due to Ethiopia's mountainous geography, and it would take far more power than expected to break through Ethiopian defensive lines. This would be a conflict that the world would not like to see go down, due to the sheer length of the war, because of the geography of Ethiopia, and the effects that it would have in the livelihoods of all nations involved. Egypt is a country that has many severe issues at home, mainly stemming from its growing population and deteriorating water situation, compounded with incompetent leadership. If Egypt can get its water supply under its direct control, it would be in fabulous shape, and the way they need to do this is by creating an industrial economy and forming economic, political, and military partnerships with upstream nations who share their interests. Maybe Egypt needs to get a man like Muhammad Ali in charge of the country again to bring it to a territorial maximum and secure its water, and hopefully some better economic advisors.
