Hi guys and welcome to this video I'm gonna basically talking about some trading stuff as you all know my name is Dapo Willis I'm an FX trader predominantly I'm also a digital marketing specialist so I do a whole lot of social media marketing and a host of other stuff Ecom and all that but I am also huge on FX trading. Now FX trading was actually my first source of income online and I decided to launch this channel it's actually more gonna be one of my first it's actually gonna be one of my first videos back on YouTube because I actually appeared on YouTube for a long time but I am indeed back and I hope you guys enjoyed the content I'm gonna be putting out right about now so I'm gonna be going over a couple of currency pairs which I feel you guys should obviously have a look at don't follow my analysis to gospel obviously you're supposed to use my analysis in addition to yours for you to make a trading buyer so yeah so guys hop on to the chart and I'll take you over to some to profit or whatever just hop on. Alright guys so the first pair I do have in front of me is actually JVP USD now I was short JVP USD sometime last week actually I was short from somewhere about here I was short here all the way to this point what about here actually didn't realize that there was a major level of support somewhere I mean here so I was pretty much adding all my short positions somewhere about here I'll just take you over to the bar so that you can have a very good understanding what exactly I'm talking about so this was actually my short position I'm gonna show you my short position and then I'm gonna take you over to what exactly I have cooking for the week yeah so guys this was my thought process from last week yeah so pretty much we kind of have some form of lower highs as you can see although this is an equal high from here but I was expecting for us to roll over because we put in a lower low from this one okay so expecting us to you know come in here and then roll over and we did just that we actually started rolling over but we rolled over I was short from somewhere about here the break of this trend line was my short position so I caught this whole move all the way to the downside I probably caught about I would say about 160 some pips like a combination of like two different trades so I had another short position somewhere about here I caught up about 160 some pips in this entire move but you know then I saw the market start to react very crazy about here then I look left and I was able to reanalyze and I then noticed that this was a strong level of support and from the lower timeframe candles I was seeing some head and shoulder formation and stuff like that so you know that basically just said to me that you know this market was about to reverse somewhere here and indeed we did reverse for those of you who are for those of you who are active traders and who are also on this trade as well you'd also see that you know we did start to push all the way to the upside you can see some massive bullish engulfing candles and yet the market is pretty much trading here at the moment now the question here is where do we go from here now I'm just gonna break this down from all the way from the week so that we both are on the same page just getting my screen a little bit of time to load now good now why that actually happened was because of because of this okay so just let me give me a moment let me draw something real cool for you now because of something like this okay okay so you can see this is a previous trend line market was trading below it we broke it came back tested it once slid to the bottom now we're testing it again this was the actual reason why you know this market started push all the way back to the upside and then we're back here again the same thing happened you show you yeah so this is actually why you can see this previous one to it you know so right about here is where exactly you know we we broke out of this trend line came back we tested it but I know what time frame wasn't exactly looking like that's on the daily timeframe now the reason I'm taking my time to go over this is because I'm not just coming here to tell you guys how I was able to bank over 300 pips last week and you guys pretty much lost all your money I'm not coming on here to tell you guys you know how perfect of a trade I am I'm just basically going over the thought process of a trader okay so I thought okay that you know this market finally has started trading below this trend line yeah yeah that we're gonna bleed all the way to the downside however I feel to realize that this was actually playing now okay that this was actually a breakout and a retest and a continuation back to the upside you know so that's pretty much why I was really short now the reason why I was only able to bank between a hundred and sixty two hundred pips last week was simply because I did I was unable to I was unable to identify this trend line here and this major support level so it wasn't until I was wasn't until I saw this bullish engulfing candle right about here before you know what to mean like oh shit I think there's a strong level here let me redo my analysis and then I was able to identify these two strong levels before I was able to take my profit out so if if I to if I you know then if I allow the market you know if I took my profit out somewhere about here I probably have about 250 pips no doubt but you know it is what it is and usually a lot of traders come across issues like the scenarios like this you know whereby you know they're in a very very nice trade and then all of a sudden the market just spiked start spiking against them now a lot of people who who I give a lot of trade calls to my clients now I do give trade calls to a whole lot of HMI clients like high net of individuals for them to trade on their money people will go million plus pounds no trading of my analysis and all that so I have to be extremely careful and I also have to be very diligent in my analysis so I am on here explaining the thought process my own thought process you might sat there me thinking oh stupid for not realizing this but one thing I want to say to you that 95% of traders thought this thing was going to collapse and so did I so there's no issue with that however I'm moving forward that's in the past now moving forward what I have in front of me is what is looking like an ABC the pattern that's playing out on the GBP USD so if I just draw my my Fibonacci somewhere like so yeah if I just draw my Fibonacci like so you can see a very clear ABC pattern play now A B C you know D probably to complete somewhere about here so what this simply says to me that right here price action is pretty much in the middle of nowhere okay now price action is you know pretty much trading about here you can see doesn't there's a move that's about to take place between here to here to here to possibly here first so we've taken off with lifted up from about here we're currently trading here and we need to get here now it's an absolute no brainer so what you then do in this kind of situation is you scroll down to a lower time frame okay you scroll down to a lower time frame and then you actually come and see what exactly is happening because I'm so confident that this market is gonna head higher all I need to do is look for a trade what I say a trade set up somewhere about here and what is exact what exactly is going on here it's looking like a pretty decent range going on somewhere about here so I'm gonna grab this and I'm gonna map it out somewhere about here give me a moment while I map this out now the reason I could have pretty much analyzed this market before came here but I want you guys to understand what they call the thought process okay thought process of a trader is very very important okay so this is exactly what I have in front of me now so all I need to do is wait for this market to break this level once I have a full bullish engulfing candle right about here ladies and gentlemen we're gonna be heading to 1.3 298 1.3 298 is the next level upside target for GBP USD but before we do get there we're gonna have to we're gonna have to take out a very important level which is somewhere about here okay so before we get to 1.3 298 I'm calling GBP USD immediate target at 1.3196 you can quote me anywhere this is exactly where GBP USD is going to I'm gonna be getting along probably on the four-hour bullish engulfing candle close out of this range this market is bullish indeed let me see if I can slap on another Fibonacci from swing low to swing high this is probably looking like a 32.8 Fibonacci yep so this market just keeps playing up okay so you know that's GBP USD in a nutshell guys I'm absolutely bullish on GBP USD and one thing I did realize on GBP USD as well is something very interesting so I'll just take it I'll just take it I'll just take it yeah you can also see that the moving average is about to cross back to the upside okay moving average is about to cross back to the upside so yes indeed ladies and gentlemen we are looking pretty bullish temporarily anyway so I can't necessarily foresee what's gonna happen after you know we do hit here and hit here probably if we break a bulk here with my head a lot higher let me just zoom out on my chart probably had a lot higher anyway when we get to that bridge I'm gonna be analyzing and then I'm gonna give you guys an update of what exactly is gonna happen next but for now ladies and gentlemen GBP USD is bullish we're heading to 1.3196 after that we're heading to 1.3298 so you heard it here first my name is Dapo Willis my YouTube channel yada yada yada yada that's by the way anyway so that's GBP USD guys I'm gonna be heading over to my next period what do I have next in stock with you guys I have euro dollar now euro dollars actually on you I was actually trading euro dollars well I was short euro dollar believe you mean I will show you a dollar and then what happens to euro dollar euro dollar just starts to spin the opposite direction so euro dollars well I was able to bank about a hundred and something pips yeah how was I able to do that well I saw that this market was pretty much in the downtrend consolidation push to the downside consolidation push to the downside consolidation push push push down sideways movement try to push lower push back into key level of resistance and then we push lower so it was literally at this point where we started to push lower yeah I just drove my counter-trend line like about here so we did we did have a fake out okay well we pushed back into counter-trend line support we tested this level again and came back came back down here now the moment we broke here I said okay I think it's about time for us to start bleeding all the way to the downside so it was literally at this point whereby I said to myself okay it's time to start heading all the way to the downside yes I showed it the market somewhere about here let me just zoom in for you guys to actually see I showed it the market somewhere about here and I pretty much caught the bit all the way here to this you know pretty much only to this red candle and then I started to see some bullish momentum all the way back to the downside back to the upside rather I'll probably could have caught more pit but like I said like something that happened to me with JVP or speed I feel I have no idea why so this is where my my support level was drawn was drawn talking about here I was expecting this market honestly speaking yeah I like to be very honest like I can't just come up here and just draw my level here and be like oh I knew it's gonna turn around it that's a lie what actually happened was I drew my trend of my support level about here drew it here and I was expecting this market to come all the way down here for me to take my profit was an absolute no brainer trade but you know this market just has a way of doing things anyway so you know the market started to stall about here I noticed some you know some crazy amount of candles if you came to the four hours sorry about that if you came to the four hour I just come over to the four hour if you came over to the four hour you realized that this market went went from you know just spitting spitting spitting pulling back spitting to just pretty much doing a madness okay and obviously I spotted some something that looked like well wasn't really a head and shoulder something of that sort and then I was like think the market is about to reverse so I decided to take my profit take whatever I had with me to take back my profit and you know put it in the band you know had a decent Friday had some nice withdrawals and that's the most important thing this market take what you can take and get the hell out of this market but sometimes you cannot be an absolute beast however this week I'm planning I have every intention to tame this beast every fucking intention to tame this beast so now moving on what I do have in front of you now back to what I was saying thought process so I'll break down my thought process so that you guys can understand exactly what I'm thinking at the moment now let me zoom out so that you guys can actually have a fair idea what exactly it's like now since we have literally turned around here right about here safe to bring my my my yeah sorry about go carry me a little bit now this exactly this right in front of me right now it's looking like a double bottom okay double bottom usually what happens is once we're able to make new lows that we make a double bottom usually we start to head back into previous highs okay I'll take that again once we fail somewhere about here so this market is collapsing all the way to the downside pull back this little like fifty three really nice fifty feet from here anyways and then we're supposed to push all the way to the downside once we come here at the hundred feet we don't push to the downside we stay here we stall here then we start looking like we're about to head higher what usually happens that the market is actually trying to head higher that's the problem with most traders is that they're probably in this trade and they wanted to head they just wanted to continue going in that their favor and their direction and they failed to see the little clues that the market is actually giving them that listen I'm done with this move I'm done okay so the market is pretty much saying that it's done with this move and it's now pointing as you can see we're pointing pointing pointing to the upside so what I then do is ask for so now we know that this market wants to be traced all the way back to the upside very simple I'll come down to my four hour and I'm gonna basically see what's what's what's market going to stop for me well what we're going to talk to me okay so I know that the next level of resistance is somewhere here I can see also see trend line resistance you know belting all the way to the downside now it's an absolute no-brainer let me just take this out one second it's an absolute no-brainer I this market is gonna head to the upside there's only one direction there's only one place is gonna head into this this only one place is gonna head into which is here because I've got confidence I've got resistance and I've got I've got trend line resistance and I've got actual resistance so same thing with you viewers do all I'm gonna do is I'm gonna wait for four hour break above this and then ladies and gentlemen we're gonna be heading to one point one four two eight zero yep hurry here first so yeah that's your dollar ladies and gentlemen no nothing to panic about among my risk I keep them very low anyway between one to three percent I'm gonna risk in just one percent on my on my account this because this is pretty much looking to me like a counter-trend range trade so it's just just pretty much how I like to see things okay so let me see if we've got any moving average crossover just yeah no it might be a bit choppy so I've not seen any moving average oh shit it's not happening guys one of those things alright so I'm very confident in this trade like I say you guys always have to do your own analysis in confluence or in addition to what exactly I'm talking about because my analysis isn't exactly gospel you know I'm a trigger as well so my duty here is to come and give you guys a thought process although I'm quite profitable I must say I must recommend myself I'm but but but but but you have to remember to do your analysis as well in confluence with this one so the guys that's your USD in the nutshell I'm gonna be headed over to what do I really want to give you guys today so I would give me to you as the euro USD I wanted to give you guys USD CAD but USD CAD isn't exactly really cooked at the moment you get me still I'm trying to simmer it okay if the season is trying to get into the body give me so I'm not really working on USD CAD at the moment so I'm gonna give you guys one last analysis which is SPF so a S&P 500 now don't forget euro USD buy GBP USD buy okay don't comment my Instagram and come and be asking me oh that's what am I gonna do euro USD up or down GBP USD up or down I hate those questions just freaking watch the analysis and you know you just do your thing man okay so the last one I have in front of me is SPX SPX is pretty much the S&P 500 which represents the top five stocks of the American stock market okay so I'm gonna come to basically I just want to show you guys what exactly is happening there isn't any real trade opportunity at the moment so SPX is in this crazy uptrend okay now SPX I must say SPX try to break you know we did try to break this range and I was quite excited after this double top what I did was I brought out my countertrain line and I drew it like this okay so imagine I was shot all the way here our you know we had this sideways movement we broke to the downside broke the range I was really expecting some real moment some real momentum to the downside but I did realize eventually that there was this long ass trend line this trend line has been dating back to 2009 2009 tapped it again in 2011 tapped it again in 2016 tapped it again in 2018 so obviously 2019 this this will actually happen in sometime December of last year so yeah so I mean the downtrend is pretty much canceled I was able to buy that least think 350 pips on this move because I've got short somewhere about here my stops were all the way at the upside here and then it wasn't until I started seeing some green kind of like you know something's not right and I banged on the trend line and then I saw this massive trend line going all the way to the upside and then we did we did test it and tested it and then the market has just been bullish ever since now that being said you as you can see is a no brainer the next level target for this market is 2887 I'm going to try and scroll over to the to a lower time frame to see if I can get a refined entry I think we might be heading into temporary resistance at the moment I might not exactly be interested in this pair because okay we have temporary resistance once we break it then we're coming in so I don't really have space that much space for me to be trading this pair at the moment so I'm gonna leave that but that being said SPX if we take out if we take out current resistance which is that 2,900 2,900 if we take out 2,900 ladies and gentlemen the next level target is 3,300 okay S&P 500 might be making a record highs obviously with this whole Donald Trump talking about bringing jobs back to the US okay S&P 500 might just be heading all the way back to the upside so you know ladies and gentlemen that is my analysis for the week alright guys please do subscribe to my YouTube channel as you

Honra Borrela Molo Diga, Prime Minister BBI. Yes. He has said that it will bring solutions. Also, he has said quite a lot of things, alluding to other people who used to be on one side before, but now they are on a different side. Your thoughts on that? First and foremost, I believe there is no single document in this world that can change the life of a human being. You know what do I mean? They have to be good will, without good will. We have a constitution, first and foremost, being a lawyer, you know. It's a beautiful constitution. The problem is implementation. And a good example is the 2-3 gender rule. Problem is implementation of our constitution. So even if we have a BBI report coming, which the Honra Borrela Odinga said that it will come up in a few days, even if it is released, you believe that it will not have any effect on the Wanjiko. First and foremost, I believe a BBI says all about inclusivity and unity. But let's be honest, it's minus one person. Oh, minus which person? The deputy president. If you saw the launch the last time, you could see his posture. He felt like he was out of place. And when they talk about the BBI, they are writing about Prime Minister will say, Uhuru and I. When, as Junaid calls him and his fellows MPs, when his cows talk, they will say, it's Uhuru and Rayla. When the likes of Muradi talk, they will say it's Uhuru and Rayla. So where you live, the deputy president, that's the problem. Because we're talking about inclusivity. One nation, if you saw, there was a photo that went viral over the weekend. The photo that they were together with the deputy president. They were saying hi to each other, they sat next to each other, they were talking. That's the Kenya we want. You realize. But you believe that the BBI is not as inclusive as... It's not. Because some would feel it's not. They feel like they are left out. It's more or less like a secret. If I ask you today what's the BBI, won't you tell me? The report has not been released. We cannot say anything. George, is it inclusive? Ram, this is an initiative. And this initiative is supposed to build bridges. And I was once told that before you get to the river, you might not know how to cross that river. But when you get to the river and you find it full, now you think about the bridge. Look at this nation. This nation has underwent a lot of bloodshed. And the head of the state, and the former prime minister, are now coming together. And you see, Ram, when you talk about the head of the state, you cannot talk about the presidency without the deputy. And I feel it's inclusive. And we are debating a document that we don't know what it contains. But what we know is that it has a good will, that it is going to build the bridges, things that have been torn out. It is now going to mend this country to be a unified country. Now, let's take a look at this tweet by the senator of El Greo Marakwet, honorable senator Kipchumba Murkomen. Your thoughts on this. So that tweet is coming up on your screen there. All right, so it's saying to all who are opposed to the hustlers, I have recommended some books for you. Minola leave you with the following quote from President Abraham Lincoln. Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle. Your response? Ram hustling in itself has got different meanings. When you give me a good job, I'll still be hustling. I'll be making sure that whatever I do, I do with a lot of authority, I do with my mind. But you see, when you talk about hustling to be like just a narrative, then we are not going to make something of it. What about this? If the BBI referendum will mirror the divisive agenda we have witnessed in the Senate, if it shall be reversing the gains on devolution or increasing layers of governance or taking services far from the people, I will oppose it and I'm ready to lead the no campaigns. No need. Right, fully so. Like the key word there is divisive agenda. Divisive agenda. That's what I'm talking about. If we're talking about harmonization, if we're talking about unity, unity, we can't be united minus him. We're talking about we want to build something. What if he secludes himself? That's the question. If he secludes himself, have you reached out to him? He has concerns. He has concerns. And what do I say that? If we go to deputy president, he's set on being the president, for example, that's number one. Then he hears people saying the likes of Moraide who are going to tell you that Rayla Molodinga's time is now. You hear totally saying deputy will not be on the ballot. You're bound to feel aggrieved and you're bound to seclude yourself as well. Because he feels like the BBI is more or less a caucus of all those who are against it. But if you check, it's more or less like us versus him, which he kind of likes, if you can tell. And who's us? Who's us? More or less their political class because it's not you and I. Because the BBI, if we're going to be honest with ourselves, it's not about Kenyans. It is not about Kenyans. We agree with that. BBI is about Kenyans because we are now trying to make sure that the hoods that were there are healed. Whose hoods? The Kenyans. And saying that it is not for Kenyans, that it's a hoax. Onrabo Rayla said that the BBI holds the solution to problems facing the youths like unemployment. How? Yes. That's the question, how? Number one, we have realized that this nation, the youths are not employed because of some reasons. Some of the reasons are, these youths are aligned to some political affiliates. But we are trying to build a nation where when I see Nudin, I see Nudin as a Kenyan, I'm not seeing Nudin as somebody who subscribes to Asla. Now look at this. When the country had somebody who had also majority votes, but is not in parliament, you know, this person will keep on opposing the parliament every time. And even the good things that the person is supposed to support, the person will see that I will not initiate it, I will oppose it. And that's what I mean, the opposition has ever been seen to be opposition. Whether they have good things or not. But we are now trying to have a country where everyone's opinion is going to be included. And does this reflect on the rate of employment in the nation, especially for the youth? You know, when we talk about the rate of employment, number one, are we even able to employ those who have graduated? If not, what is the reason? The reason could be these particular positions are being held by some people who are above the age of employment. And we are going to look about this.  And we are now going to look at where we can strike a balance. Let me come to Nuri. What I believe is, when you talk about ethnicity like he said, we are different tribes, the problem is not with the Kenyans. Who has instilled that in us? It's the leadership. Now, who has the problem? It's the leadership itself. They have decided to divide us into communities or ethnicities so that they can use that as a muscle in their political gimmicks. Now, when I say that BBI is not about Kenyans, this is what I mean. When you're told that you need a regional government, you're told you need a prime minister and two deputies. And you're told you need two deputy presidents. You ask yourself, once we have right now, let's talk about employment. Let's go there. Forget even ethnicity. Let's go to Kisumu. For example, the governor is... Are you Professor Anyang Nyong? Yes. Most people in Kisumu are lowest, right? Is unemployment there? It is there. Is there a nationwide? It is a countrywide thing. An employment issue. It's not about... The BBI can never hand out employment. If they launch it the day they do, there is no way they'll be working in town. Shiga kazi. They will never. They can never do that. It's all about good will. If today the government decides we want to empower the young men and women, ram it always, let me tell you how even. Let me even give them a secret since... More or less, they are sleeping. The easiest way to employ young people is via skills, via talent. Look at the developers. If you are a fan of football, look at that. If you are a fan of basketball, look at that. If they invest in sports and culture, we would be very far. But what do we have? Shinani, Gans and gimmicks. And you come and tell me a document will solve my issues. It will never. So long as... Even if you have the most beautiful document, but without the proper good will, it will never solve. That is... But everything starts from a document, a policy. Lost, true. But he who comes for equity, like I said, comes to clean hands.  Oh, we want to make Kenya well, but wait. First of all, we need the regional government. First. So you take care of your interest. Clearly it's not about me. Listen. It's not about me. First of all, we need the regional governor. For what? Yes, you said, oh wait. Also need the prime minister and two deputies. For what? They would help Kenyans. So first and foremost... What happened? One thing that I must admit is that Nudini is saying that the problem of unemployment is here and there. It is not just concentrated in a given area. But again, I want to also say that the issue of unemployment is not with maybe a policy or anything. The issue of unemployment has been orchestrated by the leaders themselves. But again, this document and Ramu said it that most of the good things will have some documents to support them, some policies to help in the framework, in running them. And now this document is going to ensure that for example the 30% procurement. The 30% procurement that was left for the youth. What has happened? It is not that it is not there. The only thing is that we changed the forest but we did not change the monkeys. So the monkeys are continuing doing the same things they used to do.  But again, let us look at this run. You get 6 million votes. Somebody gets 8 million votes and then you say Winna takes it all. Does it happen? So you're saying we're changing the forest but not changing the monkeys. That is what we have been doing. But a monkey can not be led by a snake? Yes. Ram, let me tell you something Ram. A monkey can not be led by a demon. A monkey can not be led by a demon. But now who is the snake? Ram, let me say something Ram. You know, first and foremost, first and foremost Ram, you know, he's talking about Winna takes it all. Ideally, when you become the president in Jobin Suwonin, you're the president of the public of Kenya, you're the president of Nairobi, Kiyambu and Rotavu, right? That is where I'm talking about the good will, you realize. So if you say you will preserve, uphold and follow the constitution and the constitution is all about unity, you know, whatever Bibi is trying to do, it's then the constitution. Now, time is around the corner. So let's head over to Twitter and see what people are saying. The hashtag is the stand ke at Y24 channel at Ram Maguko. This is a consortia, consortia racial and this is Kenya. Only Kano dominated the political arena for quite some time. Since then, no political party has ever sponsored a president for more than one term. You believe it is on its death bed, is it? To some extent. To some extent. To some extent. But Kano has lived so many parties. Now, this is the reason why I say to some extent you could realize that the same people who are in Jubilee are now going to build this particular nation through the Bibi. Nudin looks like he disagrees with you. Why do you say it is so sad to see how young people cannot take a stand and say enough is enough? Why can they just sit back and get themselves involved in other empowerment activities? If they wait on politicians, it may take quite some time for the promises to be fulfilled. Exactly. This is what I was talking about. I said empowerment will never be handled over to you. It's not like a suite. You have to take it. The Muranga issue has been disturbing me mentally. The narrations from both sides are something every Kenyan should digest and think twice. None of the sides is speaking with sobriety. The political temperature is too high and I wonder how can we reduce these temperatures? Okay, do you have one more tweet? Do you have any other? All right, I think let's bring that to an end. I'd like to give you each just a minute to have a final word about how you think.  Looking at how Jubilee is, will it take the nation to the next level in terms of how positive the nation needs to be? I don't believe that Jubilee will take us anywhere. Let's be honest with each other here. It's been eight years. You doubt it? I doubt it because they talk about unity, unity in the entire country, but charity begins at home.  They need to sort their mess. So they need to lead by example? Yes, they need to sort their mess and they need to take care of whatever is happening in the house and not make it spill over because we are getting to a position where the youth are going to be used to fight towards they know nothing about. They are going to be used for issues they know nothing about. And that is what I'm saying. We as young men and women in this country need to know where we draw the line. Thank you. I want to admit that to some extent seeing the things that are happening now, it might not take us to the next level. But again, also advocate for sobriety and people to sit down, reason together. But again, my stand as a youth should be that the youths should not accept the cheap things and propagate violence. They have got a lot to do that will make them be a people of a future Kenya. If we allow them to be used by the politicians or if they allow themselves to be used by the politicians then we will be talking about youths being leaders of tomorrow all the time and that tomorrow we'll never come. Thank you very much. That is George Kennedy and Nurdinika Guy joining us tonight. Make sure that you keep tweeting the hashtag is the stand KE at Ramaguko at Y254 Channel. This conversation still continues. Remember, a day in politics, a lot can happen. See you again next week. That is all the time we had tonight. My name is Ramaguko. Keep it Y254. This is the stand.


one. Hello, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Jenkins documentation office hours. Today is the September 21 edition and this is the EU US time slot. Today we have myself, Bruno Roxton and Mark Wade as joined. So welcome and thank you for joining us. On the agenda today, some announcements and blog posts that just came out about Hechtroberfest 2023 and the Jenkins governance board elections this year. Some updates on Google Summer of Code, some pointers on the Java proposal that we've been discussing for the last few weeks. The addition of the platform information section, which I've been working on. Just a quick couple of notes on DevOps World Tour and something that we've been discussing again last few weeks, describing the process of choosing a plug and bomb and just a short note on the August newsletter. Is there anything else that needs to be added to the agenda today or anything else anyone would like to put on there? Nothing I can think of, thank you. And nothing for me. Okay, thank you very much. So to get things started, so Hechtroberfest 2023 is going to be here very shortly. We just published a blog post for announcing it from Jean-Marc Massin. So just going over Hechtroberfest, what to expect, what the process is going to look like this year, and just what to end up just the kind of nice to have the resources for contributors and maintainers and some notes about what differences there are going to be this year. So it's the 10th anniversary, which is really exciting. And one of the biggest changes this year is that there isn't going to be a physical swag or t-shirt reward. It will be a digital reward kit and the first 50,000 participants to complete for pull requests will have a tree planted in their name. So really exciting, really a little different, but still Hechtroberfest has always been a really watermarked event for Jenkins. So really excited to have that happen again this year. Next up, so the Jenkins governance board and officer elections season is upon us. The nominations and voter registration period opened up on September 18th, so just a few days ago now. And the nomination period will extend to October 27th, while voter registration goes until November 5th. Once those periods have passed, voting will start and we'll get to see what the future holds for our governance board and officers. Just to be very clear, the election voter 2023 group is an esthetic if you want to register and vote in this year's election. Every year uses a different group. So you can check out the blog post and if you navigate to the group here, mine says leave, but if you're not a part of the group, it will say join and you can join in here so that you will be part of the election process. Two governance boards and all five officer positions are up for election as they are, the officer positions every year. And yeah, and then the post has other key dates and other information. But when we get closer to the actual election time and results, there will be other communications to be had. The blog post also shares some ways to contribute and participate. As part of the voting process, we are encouraging everyone that they've contributed to Jenkins. We're not requiring any sort of proof or validation of that, but the idea is that if you're participating that you're part of the community. And thanks to Alexander Brandes for putting that together and posting that. Thanks to Alex and Julie Hafner for running the elections this year. Next up. So the Google Summer of Code is approaching an end. We've got two projects that have fully completed and two that are have been extended that will be completed in the next couple of weeks. So really, really exciting there. Thanks to all of the participants, mentors, or Gadmonds, everyone that's been a part of Google Summer of Code as it is every year. Wildly important and crucial to the community and very successful. And the final presentations were done last week in the Jenkins online meetup. So that recording is available here and on the Jenkins YouTube channel. So if you want to see direct insights and details from the participants about their projects, you can view them there. As a quick overview. So the Docker compose for tutorials has been completed as a project, does need some more work to deploy and include in the documentation. But it's there and potentially during Hacktoberfest could be something that gets worked on with the upper team, but no guarantees there. The building Jenkins.io with alternative build tools project is still being worked on, but the goal is there. Vandy has been doing a lot of work on this. They've had to do a couple of pivots for stuff like Gatsby, but they're getting a lot of work done there. They have their navigation has been sorted for the most part. The demo sites available to view and check out. But amazing work here. It looks really great. And I'm excited to use the new site for the documentation. The GitLab plugin modernization. Bruno, I forgot. I didn't check. Is this one completed or is this one of the one that's extended that will be finished in the next couple of weeks? So the project is finished, but the code is not merged to the plugin yet. It's the story that's there is correct that I've still got interactive testing that has to be done. And then once we've completed the interactive testing, we'll merge to the main line and release a new version. Great. Thank you very much, Mark. And for the plugin health score, so we've had several blog posts that degrees put together and written for us published detailing the different probes that they've been working on in that project. So there's the renovate probe. There is the JSR 305 probe. There's just, yeah, the JSR 305 probe, number of open issues probe. So lots of work being done there by Jigridi. That's also finishing up and I think is going to be finishing up in the next couple of weeks. So again, just fantastic work. Thanks to everyone for their dedication and their efforts in this. Really great to see the results. Next up. So the Java 1117 and 21 discussion that has been ongoing for some time now, continuing to be developed. This is a proposal that is still moving and still being worked on. So some things that we've actually, Mark, would you mind providing some insight and background on this just so it's nice and clear. I don't want to misspeak. Yeah. So the proposal is a two plus two plus two support model for Java. Java delivers a new long-term support release every two years. And that clock is something they've committed to and they did it in Java 17 in 2021. They've done it now with Java 21 in 2023. And we fully expect that they'll do it again with Java 25 in 2025. By being on this clock of every two years releasing, that means and with a six year release cycle, that means that Java versions are supported by, they're up to three versions of Java supported by Eclipse, Temeron and OpenJDK at any one time. And the Jenkins developers have said, hey, three Java versions is too many. So what this proposes is to support at one time. So this proposes a general model that says we'll support Java, a new Java version for the first two years of its life. In the second two years of its life, so years three and four, we will make that Java version the minimum required Java version. And in the last two years of the life of a Java release, that Jenkins will no longer run on that Java version. That way we're only supporting two Java versions at one time. This oddly enough aligns somewhat with Oracle's commercial support thing that they do. They for the first two years of their license say, hey, well, you can use it for free in the first two years. In the third year, you can also use it for free. But after that, you have to buy a license from us. Now Jenkins doesn't rely on Oracle's JDK. We use OpenJDK and Eclipse, Temeron. But the notion that we don't support something all the way through the end of the life of the JDK in order to reduce our burden is a fair behavior. What we've got is a transition period from the current world we're in right now with Java 11, where we'll support it all the way until Java 11 reaches end of life. Java 11 will no longer be supported by the upstream providers in October of 2024. We'll make this transition then to make Java 17 our minimum version for a 12-month period. Then switch over and make Java 21 the minimum version for an 18-month period. Then with Java 25, we're on to the clock finally of two years supported but not required minimum, two years required minimum, two years no longer supported. Does that give enough of an explanation, Kevin? Yeah, definitely. I think so. Mark, that's very clear and they explained everything. Thank you very much. Okay. Some things to note about the proposal. This has been sent out to the developer's list, governance board, officers. Everyone is very much on board with this plan and approves of it. It is something that everyone's in agreement on and looks to be what we're moving towards. To have the developers and others really backing it up is exciting. They have to deal with this directly. Having their encouragement and their backing is really nice to have. Next up on the agenda, something that we've been discussing and I've been working on is adding a platform information section to the Jenkins documentation. This is just a place to consolidate and contain things like the support policies that we offer and then additionally things like Java upgrade instructions and other parts of platform information. I've been able to submit the pull request. Mark's gone through, reviewed it, has provided some notes and some changes for me that I needed to take care of. I've also provided it to my docs team that they've been able to review it as well. I'm going through and applying updates as needed. I'm hoping that I can get this all taken care of and have an updated version available to review. Then the idea is that this will sit in the documentation so that there is a section dedicated to the support policies so that users don't necessarily have to go to the installing documentation just to get some of these. It also again consolidates the Java information there are upgrade guidelines that again are not necessarily in a dedicated spot so this gives them a home. On that note as well with Java 21 being released just this week, that's another set of upgrade instructions that will be added to that as well. From preliminary looks right now, it doesn't seem to be different from the Java 17 instructions but something else to include. Next up, so DevOps World Tour has officially kicked off. Last week was the first conference, the 13th and the 14th which Mark attended and gave a talk during. There's still time to register for the Chicago and Santa Clara events and there's also the Singapore event and then the London event as well. I think the London event has changed dates and the Singapore one is still happening but it looks like it is now free registration for the Singapore event. That's for sure but I just saw the date that has moved for London. It's the 5th of December now instead of the 29th of November. Thank you very much Bruno. Mark gave us talk there, the business benefits of contributing to open source. He said he had a really great experience. Mark, do you want to share any insights from the conference? It was a great conference. Thoroughly enjoyed it and the talk was well received. Had five people who met with me afterwards and said I want to adopt a plugin. That's good. Fantastic. Thank you very much. Next up, how to describe the process of choosing a plugin bomb version. We've been discussing this for the last few weeks. There hasn't necessarily been any progress on getting this implemented or changing this but we have been having that conversation to decide what possibilities there are. There's opportunities to make sure that everything is aligned so that we can cut down on confusion or any kind of incompatibility mistakes that folks might make. I am guilty of reading things too fast sometimes and everything is blurred together or I misread something. Having a very clearly stated version for some of this stuff would make a big difference in those cases. Bruno, did you want to share anything that we discussed earlier or no? I just wanted to say that I played guilty. I wrote some inconsistent bomb.xml because it was not crystal clear for me which version of bomb versus Jenkins version I should choose. Maybe the doc exists somewhere but frankly I was puzzled. I read too quickly. Yesterday again, thanks a lot Mark for helping by the way and sorry to have made you lose your time because I hadn't read correctly the update a plugin tutorial and I quickly pointed finger at the panda about saying the butt did the bad thing and no it was me just because I read too fast and didn't think twice. I just copied paste and forgot about it so if somewhere there could be a definitive guide on how to choose your bomb version related to your Jenkins version and so on yeah that would help people like me but I don't think there are so many people like me who try to maintain a plugin while not understanding what they are doing anyhow. Actually I think there are a lot of people exactly like that and so the improve a plugin tutorial needs I look at it now and it needs improvements certainly and insertion of correct values etc. There's plenty to be improved there so yeah and I think the earlier question you noted of how do you choose the plugin bill of materials version is one that was raised as an issue in the plugin bill of materials repository and we haven't resolved it yet. It's a it's a good issue and it needs it needs resolving. Yeah and I was not trying to say that the update to plugin tutorial was badly written in that specific section it's just that it's written that you should make your brain work and find the correct version which I didn't do so I just copied and paste and that's my mistake. Well but but actually the plugin the plugin tutorial the improve a plugin tutorial is in almost every other case exactly plugin play is exactly copy and paste and so by having this case where we say oh no you must apply intense human thought I think instead it'll be better for us if we if we make this one also very easy to copy and paste because we've got the we've got the data elsewhere in the pages about which Jenkins version we're recommending. It's just we haven't done the work yet to make that tutorial adapt to that information because the choosing a Jenkins version page is automatically updated whenever we release a new LTS and that automatic update could as readily apply to the tutorial as it does currently to that choosing a Jenkins version page so there's there's truly no reason why we can't make that choosing a or make that plugin bill of materials page as smart as the choosing a Jenkins version page. Okay got it. It's already yeah it's already working for choosing the right Jenkins version but it's not with update CLI it's with another thing. No no I think it's actually using well sort of so let's let's see what it is so Kevin open up that page let's look at what the page says so if I think if you go back up a page or two from where you were. Yeah this one okay this page has inside of it and scroll down a little further Kevin we'll see numbers yeah there we go so this currently recommended version thing chooses the current LTS as the one it says could also consider the preceding LTS and the one before that are both in the earlier sentence all under currently recommended versions and those are injected automatically and so that version number and it's it's done by I forget what the technique is it's some Ruby code that reads from a from from a I think from update center to figure out what the most recent releases are but but this same technique there's no reason it can't be applied elsewhere it just isn't currently applied elsewhere. Okay or if ever I could find the source of truth I could maybe try it with update CLI because I'm already using some other parts of the documentation but yeah and that's that's a valid point because the the update CLI code might be able to read the data source here and do a better job of updating this page so that instead of generating the page at inserting the content at page generation time we insert the content through poll requests that are intentionally placed so now I apologize I have to drop off for another meeting but thank you Mark but this one this one is very much a Bruno you discovered a very real problem it is that choosing a Jenkins bill of materials version is more difficult than it should be and and it highlights hints at other areas yeah thank you Mark bye bye okay thanks mark take care uh so yeah um also I just noticed we're a little off but that's it's okay yeah it might not be recommended yet it's automatic but we don't know how often it's run yeah so we officially are on two point uh two or three two I guess point yeah we're on point two now um yeah because yesterday we just had the release and it was a the security release yesterday um yeah for both weekly and LTS so uh yeah those things were updated but um yeah none uh like Mark said I think that's a really great issue to point out and how it gives us something to work on and uh I think like he was saying opens the door to see like what else we could do to help that kind of thing or what other you know gaps there might be where we can fill them in like that so yeah thanks very much Bruno you're welcome more work to do um that's cool we love it you know each and every time in the Jenkins community when a point finger or something say oh it doesn't work it ends up with maybe you should open a PR but that's cool because I'm learning a lot yeah the finger that you're pointing gets immediately pointed yeah makes me think of you know those spider-man pointing a finger a spider-man yeah exactly I did it no you didn't you didn't yeah great uh cool and then uh last thing I have on the agenda just um August newsletter is currently submitted as a progress once it gets um I think there's one or two other updates that need to just be added to it but once it's done um that'll be published and we'll have that out on blog cool uh I guess was a little bit slower so it's not as much content from all the sigs but uh there will be a newsletter regardless yeah cool uh doesn't that is there anything else that you'd want to discuss Bruno or thread on the agenda no thank you Kevin I think we covered all I had in mind okay great uh so I'll go ahead and stop the recording in just a moment then in that case thank you as always for joining uh recording will be available 24 to 48 hours uh once we wrap up here and uh yeah until next week take care thanks for joining again and uh have a good rest of your day bye


Goed ja, Mike Sherman's The Moral Ark, de lezing van vanavond, was eigenlijk een soort van samenvatting heel snel van wat hij in zijn boek uiteenzet. En wat denk ik heel erg goed is dat er ook eens een keer gezegd wordt dat iemand dat ook doet met alle argumenten en alle empirische taten, alle wetenschappelijke studies achter de hand. Alles netjes uiteen gezet, dus heel dik boek geworden. Precies daardoor is dat de wetenschap een samenleving voor de huidelijkheid. Ik ben in m'n hoofd, en het stond binnen de schaduw. Kieping woont op m'n hoofd. Ik ben in m'n hoofd, en ik ben in m'n hoofd. In m'n hoofd, en ik ben in m'n hoofd. Dat phrase is de inspiratie voor m'n title van de boek. Oftentimes moral revolutions doekturn, at least in part on the power of one speaker, one person, one revolutionary to stand up and say, that's enough, we're not going to put up with this anymore. En dat is how it begins with the protests. King was a Baptist preacher and he got this phrase from a 19th century unitary abolitionist named Peter Parker, who said in the moral universe, I cannot calculate its curve, but I can divine by conscious that it's bending toward justice. That's where king got this in the first place, hardly copyrighted in any case. We don't have to depend on divine conscious. We couldn't actually calculate it with data. We now have 118 democracies, that's 48 or higher on the poly scale of 196 countries. So that's real moral progress, as I've defined it, which I'll come back to at the end of the talk, of why I think democracies are objectively morally better than other forms of governance. Part of the controversial part of my vote, at least America, is that religion is not the major driving force of moral progress. En, of course, we want to counter this, we'll put the Quakers and the Mennonites agitated for the abolitionist slavery, if that's true. William Wilberforce stood up in parliament and agitated for decades for the abolitionist slavery, if that's true. He did it deeply religious now. But who were his primary opponents? Who was he fighting against? It was his fellow religionists, his fellow Anglicans, who had tons of theological and biblical arguments in favor of the slave trade. Same thing with the Quakers, they were agitating for a century before before anything actually happened. It didn't happen until the majority of people started adapting the kind of rights language that people used, started to use at the time. People should never be treated as a means to an end, but are an end in themselves. That's a manual con. People should be treated equally under the law. John Law and so forth. These are ideas that were created by enlightenment philosophers, not theological moralists, who then later adopted those ideas. Like Dr. King said, his biggest influence was the most liberal theologians and Gandhi. You would not consider Gandhi really just in any western sense. And then finally we're also in the middle of another rights revolution, animal rights. I would really begin with Jeremy Bentham's question. Really, it's just a footnote in one of his great works. The question is not can they reason or can they talk, but can they feel, can they suffer? Can they suffer? I begin with this idea of the survival and flourishing, the non-suffering of sentient beings. This should be our consideration. This is our starting point, we build from there. I use the phrase sentient beings because after all, we are findings, we are grades. The givens, gorillas, chimps, bonobos, and us. We are one of them. So what's been happening then for the last several centuries is that moral arc has been vending. How far? I claim that everyone today, conservatives included, are more liberal than liberals were in the 1950s. You don't see sides like this anymore. If you analyze literature and novels, pop culture, editorial cartoons and so forth, it's all shifted. Nobody talks about Jews and Blacks and women and so forth. Today, like they did half a century ago. So the whole point of what I'm calling enlightenment, humanism, the stuff that's been happening over the last couple of centuries is that instead of moralizing about evil, we use science to reason solve problems. That is, how can we get grades upon a side down? How can we stop wars and things like that? And against the scientific revolution, at least that's what I think of the story, that is, the scientific revolutionaries, Bagan, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Newton, they discovered that the universe is governed by natural laws that we can understand right about mathematical equations, make predictions based on those predictable hypotheses, test them and see if it works, and then use that knowledge to change the world. And that's what's happened ever since. So again, the formula is, democracies are better than autocracies, it's often to be, we ought to spread democracy wherever we can. Why does democracy's place more emphasis on individual rights and individual liberty than any other form of governance and thus they promote the survival and flourishing of sentient beings. So that phrase, that's my starting point. The survival and flourishing of sentient beings is the basis for establishing values and morals, which I claim, I'm now back on page one of my books, I've come back. We've made evolution thou safest, with an instinct to survive and thrive, and that that's where natural rights come from. And that, so determining the conditions by which sentient beings messengers should ought to be the goal of science, morality. We aren't that made from the stars. Our atoms were forged in the interiors of ancient stars that ended up on us in spectacular paroxysms of supernova explosions that dispersed those atoms into space where they coalesced in new solar systems with planets, life and sentient beings capable of such-and-like knowledge and moral wisdom. We are stars. We are golden. We are a billion-year-old carbon. Morality is something that carbon atoms can embody given a billion years of evolution, the moral art. Thank you. Het is altijd leuk om Michael Sherman te zien. Hij is super rationeel. Hij brengt het dan altijd heel charmant, en dat is wel echt een prestatie. Geen cynicus, heel betrokken met zijn onderwerp, met zijn publiek en gebracht op een manier waar wij nog aan heel behoefd kunnen leren. Dus absoluut, ik vind het leuk. Ik vind het leuk. Ik vind het leuk. Ik vind het leuk. Dus absoluut aanraad.
