You'll then enjoy the ceremony which will then take place and please remain standing after the National Anthem when you will be leaving to join your students outside who will now be new graduates. Please switch off your mobile phone so they don't ring during the ceremony thank you and feel free to take photos during the ceremony but please don't stand in the aisles to do so. We like to start on time so ladies and gentlemen please stand for your students. Inga mana, Inga reo, Inga ho e fa, Tena koutu, Tena koutu, Tena koutu kata. Pro Chancellor, council members, special guests, staff, graduands, family and friends of graduands. As Chancellor of the University of Auckland, I extend a warm welcome to you all on behalf of council members and staff of the University. In particular, I welcome our guest speaker Mr Bruce Pestead. This is the meeting of the Council of the University of Auckland in Convocation for the purpose of conferring degrees and awarding diplomas. Today we will be conferring and awarding 3185 qualifications on some 3126 graduands in person and in absentia. This is a happy and memorable occasion for you the graduands as well as your families and friends who have supported you during your studies. We congratulate you all equally your achievement brings pleasure and satisfaction to the academic and professional staff of the University who have played their part in your success. Capping is a time for celebration. The graduation process today brought academic flavour and colour to the streets of Auckland and in this ceremony you will experience the pomp and tradition befitting your well-deserved day of celebration. And of course you are unique in graduating from the University of Auckland in the same month as Excellency Ban Ki Moon, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, on whom we bestowed an honorary doctor of Laws degree at the beginning of September. Over a period of 130 years the University of Auckland has become a comprehensive research-led university with a strong international reputation. Today there are more than 40,000 students and 5,000 staff. Moreover we are New Zealand's largest research organisation with one-third of the country's externally rated world-class researchers. Within New Zealand only our university is ranked in the top 1% of the world's universities. We also have a strong commitment to Māori and Pacific education. Of all the Māori degree graduates in New Zealand each year, 25% come from just one institution, the University of Auckland. For Pacific students the figure is over 40%. The quality and international reputation of a university are fundamentally driven by the achievements of the people and our people have gained excellence again this year. For example in May our staff were successful in winning funding for four national centres of research excellence to be hosted or co-hosted by the University of Auckland. We're also partners in the other two centres that have been approved for funding which means we will be contributing to all six of the national centres of research excellence. In July of this year Senior Lecturer-in-Law, Kylie Quintz was named as one of the 2014 winners of the National Tertiary Teaching Excellence Awards. Her award for sustained excellence in tertiary teaching means that for 12 of the last 13 years at least one University of Auckland academic has received the national award of this kind. This is an outstanding tribute both to our accomplished staff and to the quality of teaching at this university. These achievements reflect the many achievements not only of our academic staff but also of the students who work with them and the many professional staff who support them. A key part of our challenge for the future and one that has clearly reflected in our strategic plan is to continue to invest in a community of highly accomplished staff and students. An important element of that investment is ensuring that our teaching and research facilities are of the highest quality. At our new market campus work is well underway on construction of the engineering research laboratories. These buildings represent an investment of more than 88 million dollars to support our engineering research and postgraduate teaching for the benefit of all New Zealand. We've already occupied the first of the new facilities and construction will be complete in February next year. Work has also begun on the new science tower on the corner of Wellesley and Simon streets. This major construction project represents an investment of more than 300 million dollars. It will allow us to upgrade science, teaching and research and integrate the School of Psychology and the School of Environment into the main science precinct. This will in turn free up the human sciences building for refurbishment as the center of the arts faculty. Constant innovation is the cornerstone of a university such as ours. Innovative teaching and research is vital for long-term sustainable economic growth of our country and social cohesion of our nation. This has never been more so than in the economic times we face in the wake of the global recession, Christ's earthquakes and the yet to be defined effects of global warming. Universities equip graduates like you not simply for the jobs of today but for future careers not yet imagined in a never-changing world. So as you graduate today please reflect on the ongoing learning opportunities and consider the wide range of postgraduate courses available to you at this university. Reflect on the changes in technology you've experienced in your lifetime and remember that most of the technology that you will use in your working career has yet to be developed or commercialized. I ask you to do this because we can never rest on our laurels especially in a challenging and ever-changing world.  We rely on our graduates for support, moral, political and financial. Funding constraints are a perennial problem for New Zealand universities who are being asked to do more and more with less and less each year. In fact in these hard times I say we should be spending more on universities not less but don't worry in the future we will be in touch with you and when we do please lend us your support but that's enough of the substantial issues facing us all as members of a 21st century university with high aspirations because today is your day. The focus is firmly on your achievement. At the ceremony today we honor your success along with the support of your family, whanau and others who have sustained you through your studies. I congratulate you and trust that you will long cherish the memories of your graduation today. Please welcome Bruce Plested who has an outstanding career as the founding director and executive chairman of Mainfrate Ltd. Prior to founding Mainfrate Bruce worked as an accountant with Fisher and Paykal then moved with Don Rowlands to launch champion spark plugs in 1966. Bruce began his career in the transport industry in 1970 with container freight which later became the brambles subsidiary New Zealand freighters. He has now been involved in the freight forwarding business for over 40 years. Today Mainfrate is the largest domestic freight forwarder in New Zealand and is a global logistics player, very provider, employing over 5,770 people in 230 branches throughout New Zealand, Australia, the Americas, Asia and Europe. Bruce is a fervent conservationist and recycler. He has planted more than 100,000 native trees on his Waikiki Island property and Mainfrate as a company has been recycling waste products since 1988. Bruce is passionate about breaking the cycle of poverty in New Zealand and is a long-standing sponsor of the Books and Homes project run by the Alan Duft Charitable Foundation. He says, the only way that New Zealand will progress economically is through having a highly educated population with the highest expectations. I don't think anybody would disagree with that. Bruce is currently chairman of the Books and Homes Board of Trustees. In 2007, Mainfrate also became a major sponsor of the Life Education Trust. Welcome Bruce. We look forward to hearing from you today. Chancellor, members of council, members of the university and the latest graduates, Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou koutou. To the Chancellor and the Executive, you must pure huge satisfaction to see this wonderful looking lot of young and not so young graduates with their families and friends. To the latest graduates, congratulations on gaining your degree. It takes a lot of diligence to get a degree. There are a number of you here tonight with two degrees. I hear of one who's got four and they were talking over 30 PhDs. Is that correct? It must have been said many times before but where you are now is at the end of the beginning. I think it's important that you do not fear what lies ahead. Mostly working life is easier, less stressful than either school or university.  But what you do from now on gradually becomes critical as to where you make your mark in life and it's only gradual. You can have several starts and I advise you to have a number of starts if you're not in the in the position that you want to be in. Firstly some people will already know what they want to do to work teaching or in law or in engineering and that's what I would advise that you do. You head off first to do, that's what I did. I left school, went to teachers training college and became a teacher. Secondly I think you need to work on your fitness. Many students neglect their fitness through time discipline or neglect or perhaps not realising its importance. If you're going to make it in this world you have to be physically fit continuously for long periods of your life. For my 70th birthday a group of us from main freight walked up Mount Taranaki. Fitness and success are brothers. Thirdly look inwardly at what you're good at. Do you get noticed? Are you an introvert? Are you an extrovert? Do you like order? Or do you like chaos? Do you like rules or like breaking them? Are you a team player or more of a loner? Try to understand where you are and what your skills best are. Often you will find that what you are good at you will so like. I gave up teaching age 19 and took up accounting at 22, finally qualified at 29. It totally changed my life but I still didn't want to do accounting but I could use the accounting so that I could understand business much more and it gives me a huge advantage over other business people who can't really read a balance sheet. I can read a balance sheet upside down from 10 meters away. Fourthly try to work out what you like. This can be hard if you like something but are not yet naturally good at it. Make the decision. You've got lots of time set out to find a way at getting good and preferably absolutely excellent at what you like as well as what you're good at. If you're good at what you like you can be said you can and you can create a career from it you can be said to never have to go to work. Fifth, set high high standards in everything that you do. Life skills are so important things like getting up early making your bed, learning to cook, doing your own cleaning, fixing things that are broken, caring and considering others and perhaps most important being positive at all times.  Somehow you have to combine this discipline with a bit of rule breaking. Some rule breaking is always necessary wherever you are but with disciplined logic and emotion your rule breaking will create success. Number six, be ever so grateful of the luck of your birth in the country in which you were born. Live by the maxim would mum approve of what I'm doing? I do it all the time. In 1987 we took over a company and they were the same size as we were so we were doubling our size and I went and saw my mother and said should we publicize this or should we be quiet about it? We had unions watching us, we had the marketplace looking at us and my mother said to me well darling I've always thought you did so well because you kept your head down and didn't have everybody trying to knock it off all the time.  Wear rose colored glasses and see your surroundings and acquaintances in a positive perspective all the time. Most people are honest and trying to do what they at least think is their best. Communicate high expectations from everybody around you. It includes all those children who look as if they will never learn or come from destitute homes have high expectations from them. Seventh this is an important one people sometimes laugh when you bring this up but try to recognize crossroads in your life they will come through and sometimes you you just think it well that that was a handicap or that was something but if it if there's a global financial crisis you have some sort of an accident you get made redundant you get fired somebody close to you dies it's a crime committed somewhere that you'll have something to do with world events. Bad events are always fantastic opportunities for making you really think and take strong action. Do I want to be here?  What if I never see the world? How are we going to benefit from this event? Mainframe grows about 10 percent from every major crisis that there is because we make a lot of tough decisions because of the crisis. Number eight if you start to think I like this I think I'm good at it. I think I'm better than those already doing it then have a go either apply for that bigger role or start up your own business and do it. Every single thing in our lives is a result of someone having a go inventing something or improving on it from the clock that wakes you up the bed you get out of the carpet on the floor the cereal you eat for breakfast the traffic lights the road the picture man everything that's how mainframe started I was I was fired in one of these crossroads and I thought what am I good at and I said well I'm pretty good at freight and I thought well actually I think I'm really good at freight and I thought I'm going to have a go at doing this myself and so we started the business with just seven thousand dollars and today it's you heard the figures we we're in 20 countries around the world we do have two billion of turnover and it all came about through thinking I'm good at this I like this I'm going to have a go at it and please you're not an entrepreneur just because you invent an app but you're getting the right idea. Number nine try to wipe the try to wipe the word I from your vocabulary when you can get your sentences sentences to start with we have you considered have you noticed some people would you suggest always it's about what we are trying to achieve not what I am trying to achieve you will achieve a huge amount more if it's we going forward than I going forward and number 10 the last recommendation is start thinking about making a difference to your neighborhood or community or country or the world at a young age we can all make a difference and the more of us who do seek to make a difference the better the world will be be like the Boy Scouts seek to do a good turn for someone every day be courteous when driving smile at those who you meet every day understand part of your job on earth is to make those you come into contact with on any day feel a bit better than before they met you good luck you're now totally in control of the rest of your life thank you Bruce for a humorous yet inspirational speech can you all join with me in thanking Bruce once again this is a meeting of council and convocation of the university at which the pro-chancellor peter kiley and I will be conferring degrees and awarding diplomas I invite the pro-chancellor to award the diplomas and confer the degrees in the first half of this ceremony by the authority vested in me by resolution of the University of Auckland Council I peter kiley pro-chancellor award the diplomas and confer the degrees stated upon those who within the faculty have satisfied the requirements of this university I call upon the Dean of the Faculty of Education Professor Aitken to present graduands in that faculty pro-chancellor as Dean I have the honor of presenting to you the students qualified for the award of a diploma or conferment of a degree in the Faculty of Education graduate diploma in teaching early childhood education Mayada Hassan Ali Grace Devi Atmaji Renae Therese Dutha Marie Hannon Ganaji Gabriel Kara Gomez Sylvie Ganda Hamida Moez Jivani Reshna Sharma Lal Yejin Lee Elizabeth Ann McElwain Maria Cindy Capati-McCardo Andrea Rosa Munn Watson Rashila Naidu Jessica Rawlinson Karen Bakashni Somal Shiran Deborah Ann Sutherland graduate of the diploma in teaching primary Christopher Daniel Gron Chiahua Maggie Lee Emma Victoria Livese Jonathan Paul Merritt Linda Mae Barnum Portes Abdomoate Abufatah Abdomoate Ramadhan Angelica Lisa Richards Joanna Jamie Siaki Motu graduate diploma in teaching secondary Jessica Renee Cathrow Rebecca Elizabeth Fernley Natalie K McPherson Kalepe Siruli Mafi Candice Rose Stock Isikiri Tafea graduate diploma in teaching English in schools to speakers of other languages Lillian Leofofo Amo Jennifer Margaret Burt Rasee Khan Latini Peato Asba Shayad Yutua Tonomali to the degree of Bachelor of Education in teaching Maureen Ann Anderson Sarah Michelle Ashley Si Hoa Baik Michelle Bota Daniel John Kavett Vanola Cook Suzanne Alice Collette Blanche Ann Curra Briggs Hannah Mae Davie Chantel Gabriel Dijon E Catherine Mary Fennick Dominic Jesse Grant Yvonne Stell Grant Umutai to Uiho Greg Melissa Jane Hart Kate Louise Henderson Songhee Hong Elise Zara Hopkins Pauline Marie Houston Andrea Marie Howie Athena Joyce Barnaby Jacinto Shelley Diane Johnson Lowe Jimin Kim Sarah Jane King Melanie Diana Clouette Pankuri Kumari Aletheia Abigail Lamott Renee Brooke Lawson Afua Savalina Levasa Tatohalo Totolo Jennifer Ann Leib Rosita Levy Brian Liu Megan Elizabeth Lockwood Luatita Luafalealo Elizabeth Thalani Lamanongi Mahakita Ofaki Kolesi Mana Vahetao Hallie Marie McGregor Ann Elizabeth Merton Wanda Nilesi Tama Nilesi Tama Tracy Jean Eileen Norton Marie Christine O'Leary Marie Patterson Luweta Pena Taavau Simone DeMarie Pogampal Nicola Margaret Pollard Catherine Mary Preston Terewana Puna Kirsten Janis Louise Ratu Raga Smith Arayapatti Kelly Lee Simpson Hazel Marie Smith Eunice Ann Gillie Bebal Solomon Alexandra Grace Stevenson Nicky Nicole Paro Stirling-Fonsa Joshua James Taylor Joseph George Dahaki Nia Wehe Tobi Loy Andrek Tau Tongiavalu Chris Tau Bully Tuia Penisimane Lolo Vete Lisa Petta Susie Wilson to the degree of Bachelor of Education Teaching English the Speakers of Other Languages Nolati Farhanum Abdul Hakim Nurojajua Abdullah Azizi Ayn Lyani Aynol Azmi Amira Amir Kawani Anua Siti Amalini Nadia Ismail Jesnore Isrin Mart Gizad Shefa Khushna Muhammad Azmi Farah Adibah Roslan Nerizati Zainal to the degree of Bachelor of Human Services Najma Alavardi Gorik Dorji Tony Kennedy Ikifitu Letia Senia Milo Miranda Judith Ashley Palmer to the degree of Bachelor of Physical Education Bryn Dorothy Armstrong Ryan Grant Stefan Borthwick Nathan J.

What's up guys? I'm Brian Sakawa. You're watching e-spoke style. Welcome to my house. If you know me, you know that I am a creature of habit.  Before we get started, a big thanks to Gillette for sponsoring this video. Now the first thing I do when I get out of bed is, this is Coco's room right over here. And we have to release the beast. So, let's go. Coco, come. There you go. I don't need to see that. Okay Coco, let's go. Come on. Let's show everyone how good a girl you are. Down. There you go. Good girl. That's a good dog. That's a good dog. Are you wet? Okay. Alright, so after we let Coco out, then I make my breakfast. And I've basically been eating the same breakfast for about a decade. It's a bagel with peanut butter and a banana. It's about 510 calories. Perfect way to start the day. Not going to do that now. It takes too long, but that's my breakfast. But the most important thing after eating and letting the dog out is coffee. Once I make the coffee and get my bagel, I will go back in to the dining room. Release the beast again. I'll sit here and have my breakfast while Coco does whatever she does. Then at that point, I'll kind of hand her off to Robin so I can go up and take a shower and shave and do everything I need to do before I leave the house. Alright, so welcome to the bathroom. This is one of the rooms that we loved in the house. You can see we have a huge shower with two shower heads. So after I take my shower, I come over here and I'll shave. I like to shave after taking a shower because being in a hot shower really helps. I have a lot of sensitivity, especially in this part of my neck when I shave. Safety razor is cool, but it's a bit of a process. And now with Coco in the morning, the less I have to deal with, the better. So one of the ways I'm dealing with trying to mitigate the irritation I have is with this razor right here. This is new from Gillette. This is the Gillette Skin Guard. It has two blades as opposed to multiple blades, which you find in a lot of other Gillette products. And between these two blades, there's a little strip which they call the Skin Guard technology, which is designed to help with irritation, specifically the type of irritation that I get. So what's nice about this razor, actually, if you're someone with sensitive skin, is that unlike a lot of razors that kind of lift the hair and cut it, and then it goes underneath the skin, this actually doesn't do that. It cuts the hair, but not to the point that it's going under the skin, which for me has been great because I tend to get really bad and grown hairs, which look terrible and they're also really painful. It's also nice because it's not cutting it quite as close. I mean, it is smooth, but you do get that five o'clock shadow, which is nice. I like that. My wife likes that too. So anyway, after shaving, I've got to make sure to hydrate. Got to moisturize. All right, so after shaving, then I will get changed. We're going to go in here. There will be a closet tour at some point, but not now. Please don't look in here. It's very, very messy. Dressed and ready to go. Now is the point that we would do some tag teaming. Robin and I again going back down. Hi, Ringo. Come here. You want to be in the video? Yeah, oh, he does. This is Ringo. He's a big cat. So thank you so much, guys, for coming along on my morning routine. Thanks once again to Gillette for sponsoring this video. Say hi, Ringo. And let me know if you like the video, give it a thumbs up. Right, Ringo? Or a paw, a paw up. And hit that subscribe button. Until next time, guys. Thanks for watching and stay tailored.


All right, welcome to September 12th sandbox review meeting with TOC and TAG chairs, Ricardo passing to you. Yeah, so welcome everyone so. Today we have 10 projects to to review 10 submissions to sandbox. You can get started already. The first one is copacetic copacetic. This is a tool to patch vulnerabilities in containers in kind of a special way for the patches are directly on container images. According to the vulnerabilities of tools like 3D. And I think the main feature is that they are patched without having to go through upstream and the full rebuild. And I don't know if anyone had a look into this project and has comments. I can start. So I spent a little bit of time going through this because I feel like we've talked about this one before or no I've seen that before. It is solving an existing problem that the, they talk about it either within the application or somewhere on one of the documentations or sites. Most organizations are having a lot of trouble keeping up with updates to production because they haven't quite streamlined their build pipeline to do deployments in a more automated fashion, particularly for security fixes. So it's nice in that it's solving that problem it can function as an SLI stop gap. My only concern and this is something that I think that the project is going to have to figure out how to strike this nice balance is how do we avoid codifying anti patterns because realistically, we want organizations to be improving their build pipeline so that they can automate their deployments in a much faster way. And this provides them a different mechanism for managing that. So I think that would be the only concern that I have I also noticed that while they currently support trivy they don't have any other scanners that I could come across within the repository that they're actively integrated with but they do have plans to support this. So there's a lot of RIF formats in the future, which most scanners I believe provide outputs into but it's unclear from the existing documentation that I was able to come across how all of that actually is intending to work together in the future. Right. There was also, there was a presentation to tax security. The recording is here I don't know if anyone attended that and has more feedback. They seem to be like, they know the problem space fairly well and I think that they're early in solving the problem but not too early. So I think they are a good candidate for experimentation within the ecosystem. All right. So, if no one has any more feedback, I guess we put it up for a vote. Is that correct? Sounds good. We do votes after the call so we do most of the discussions here and then Amy will graciously open everything at the end.  Well done. That's what I meant. Just open it up for a vote. Cool. Right. First is done. So the next one is the logging operator. So there is also something particular in here which is it seems to be managing more complex or targeting more complex configurations of inputs outputs for logs and routing. They have also presented presented to tag observability. Or they will present. I couldn't find that I actually checked in the agenda. And I put it here with clear, but I don't think there's any, any apart from the slides that are linked I couldn't find any kind of notes that might have been taken about it. I don't know if anyone has more information. Okay, I'm mixing up so there's actually some, some not this is just, yeah, I don't think that we had more notes about the presentation. Someone from all sort of villages here. And he thought some of this one. It seems pretty mature and well supported so. Seems quite. And as a lot of different integration seems quite, quite seems quite a good fit. Justin, I'm actually kind of curious why apply at sandbox instead of incubation since it's been around for a while and seems to have some adopters. All right. When I was looking, perhaps the question why not incubation. When I was looking at the contributions since like there is one main maintainer that kind of prevails for our time. We don't have so many contributions consistent contributions from other maintainers so hopefully. I'm wondering if I looked at the wrong repository. I might have looked at the repository please. This one looks like it's extensively. I think I looked at the sub sub repository I looked at the work directly and I clicked on a different repository so please ignore my comments. I mean it's possible they just didn't want to do the dd because it's a lot of work. So should we ask them if they would consider it. And then either if they really want to look for sandbox first we open it for a boat otherwise we suggest applying directly for incubation. I'm actually kind of inclined to push back a little bit from sandbox particularly for a project that appears to be as mature as this one is. We have a lot of projects in the sandbox ecosystem and based off of recent discussions we really want to promote more experimentation more innovation within sandbox. So if there's an opportunity for us to identify and recognize projects that are more mature, have they're a little bit further beyond. I'm curious whether or not we should start inviting them to apply it incubation so we can do a little bit more deep dive analysis on them. I think I agree with this. I think, you know, giving current is the worst of commentators. I think it's probably a better fit for sandbox projects. And then we can see how it goes. What does the number of contributors affect part of the air to pull it to incubation? I didn't get it. Sorry. It was breaking up a bit. Sorry, I'm not fortunately driving but I was asking, does the number of contributors affect our desire to pull them in to incubation. From the repo, it sounds like it now. But this is something perhaps we can help them with for the incubation. I think they definitely have potential. So this is something that we can list as criteria where they can go through the criteria and they need any extra support or anything from the to see where the tax would be able to help them for us. As mentioned, I think this is definitely a good candidate to move a level higher. I think, yeah, we definitely can suggest that it's up to them to to push through the processes course. Yeah, I was going to say that some of these projects or project maintainers don't know the whole process. So the first thing that might have seen it just sandbox, but I mean, we can actually communicate with them and let them know what the process is and guide them through if they want to go for incubation. All right, so Chris also had left a thought that maybe they are just applying for sandbox to understand better how an open source project can go bigger. But I guess the way we suggest that they apply for incubation for now. Are we are we saying no we're not going to vote on sandbox we're going to ask them to apply for incubation instead, or are we going to say let's vote on sandbox and ask them to apply for incubation right away. Oh, that's a good question using the sandbox queue to allow them to go through all the onboarding that way it makes that incubation due diligence process a little bit easier. I think that's a good idea. I mean probably you're also the best team. Okay. Yes, add them to a vote so that because like I know we're interested in being able to clear the cues. If we say, hey look, we think you're actually like ready for incubation. Let's put it up to a vote. If it passes will work through them with onboarding and kind of give them a sense about like what incubation means for them. And then they can decide whether or not they want to apply. Sounds like a good. Good. We can move on. All right, so the next one is cracking. So this is a chaos and release resilience testing tool for Kubernetes focusing on evaluating performance and their loads and that scale. That's, there's a nice picture here of how this works. I have seen this project in the past as well. I believe they also. I know in this case they did not present yet, but I think there was a suggestion here to go for it. Any minute thoughts on this one. There's a nice picture here of how they integrate the different guys. So is this all the repose under red hat chaos. Yeah, they should be all in that namespace. Oh, is it all of them? I think we've, I'm not sure if we're, we tried to make that question less confusing, but we put org repo URL, but. Right. It's not, it's not really clear to me which is it, whether it's. They don't link an additional repo, which is a different. I don't. Yeah, I don't see anything in this GitHub org that would not be considered part of breaking that would be donated. It looks like they already took out anything that was like tied to red hat products. So looking at the form that we put together for this. The project repo URL is supposed to be in scope of the application and the additional repose in scope of the application. So that's the additional repose area. The org repo URL is provide the review, the URL of the GitHub or GitHub organization of the projects if all repose under the order and scope of the application. If no organization provide any so it sounds like we can clean that up to make it a little bit more clear. Just looking at the way we have the instructions written. It sounds like cracking and server is the only two that would be in scope, but we should clarify with the project. Do they have any additional ones that would not be in scope. I think that's those just in question. Well, well, I just wish. In that case, I think it's everything because they're either about cracking or several sort of the other ones. I know there's other things as well. No, I don't know. I'm looking over this everything in that GitHub org is either cracking or server is or or a dependency like GitHub actions for, you know, the manage services deploy. That's actually a deployment thing. That's the one thing that it's actually probably the only thing that you know why they left that in there because right now it's only open shift. So that would be one that you want to ask the project. Hey, is this going to support core Kubernetes or are you going to take it out? It's just a set of playbooks set of ansible playbooks. So it doesn't seem to be very active either. Yeah, and it either could be something that they left in there because they're planning on making it support core Kubernetes but they haven't finished yet. Or it's something that was left in there by mistake when they were actually cleaning it up to separate out, you know, just the things that were being contributed. I just have to ask. Yeah, and apart from the repos and the org. Does this sound like something we would say for a vote. Go ahead. Um, so I'm wondering whether they have presented this to the Kubernetes community to those six. Because I see that, you know, there are some scenarios on Kubernetes scenario, they do not support like the pop network scenarios. But they support that in the open shift. So it's more targeted towards open shift. I would like to know what is a community is community feedback on this product. You know how useful it is. And also how good these are, like it's a design. Right, so I don't, I don't, from, from the, from what is here, I don't think they have. But I'm not completely sure. Maybe we can ask them to get some present to the communities community and give some feedback. So we can, you know, better evaluate this. Because there are other quite some, you know, also resilient resilience testing tool testing mechanisms. We can take this on the delivery side to have them present. I think they did not yet present and there's also still the dedicated chaos working group. That wasn't what Josh was proposing. But let's ask them to present there and we will then share feedback after we have the recording. So always you will, you will drop them message here in the, yes, I will. I'll take this one. All right. So you can find me a relative notes. So we can move to the next one, which is canister. So, as far as I understand, this is quite known as a project. It's focusing on data protection or in at least my knowledge is more on the backup and recovery side of things. It's very similar to projects like Valero as well. One thing that I would highlight is that they mentioned here some presentations so they actually mentioned a presentation from a colleague of mine so we know this project quite well, and yeah they describe it as the, it's the what the rest of us with Valero. They have similar tools that don't do what Valero is doing is to the same space. So I see Kathy, you have to hand up. Sorry, Emily go ahead. So I had a question about this one. Is it really data protection, or is it more data management with some security features added in. That's what I couldn't get specific clarification on when I was going over the project documentation. It seems like it's primarily proper data management with a little bit of some of those features sprinkled and but not specifically focused on data protection and cloud architectures. So abuse canister before. And the best way of describing it is, it's it's provides workflows for different stateful workloads to allow you to do things like creating databases and things like that before you actually do snapshots and backups so it's not actually the it's not actually the backup tool. It's the tool that you use with your backup tool to safely backup your databases kind of thing. It's for more complex backups. So you're unmuted. Right, so we use it as exactly that to define policies for backup and restore based on PDCs and automating that and then the actual backup tool and copy is using this copy tool. I don't remember exactly if Copia is part of canister or if it's just using it underneath. Copia is another open source project that I need to be using. Active allow is also using Copia now so. Right, yeah. So I think it's in the same space as Valero. Yeah. Yeah, that's why I asked them to put together the comparison table that'll be helpful. I mean, in general, I do think this is a great candidate to be a sandbox project in CNCF. I just there are some comments that I still want them to address but but it's, I do not have objections for them to become a sandbox project. I do know it's used in production and a number of large organizations. Okay, so it seems like it goes for a vote as well. Yeah, we'll take that and we can move on. Right, the next one is KCP, which is for managing control planes of coordinates clusters, I guess. And they mentioned also management of applications. Other parts of the infrastructure and specifically. It used to be like a sort of API, building on coordinates API student to manage additional things that are not just contains. I'm going to check again if there was. Okay, there's quite a lot of follow up here. Let's check. There was. Sorry. KCP is actually a multi cluster solution. It's a way of maintaining a meta cluster that controls other Kubernetes clusters. The CP stands for control plane. It does this somehow using CRDs. I did attend Stefan's presentation on it but I don't really understand the architecture. But but that is the intent of the tool. And it's had this point over a year of development. Possibly a little bit more than that. The actually probably closer to two years of development so. Yeah. Yeah, I see that it is like, it's part of it, virtualize the control plan. I'm not just virtualize, you know, the, the OS or the, the resources, it virtualize the Kubernetes control plan.  Yeah, it's logical clusters. I think it's interesting. But I, but it didn't say very clearly, what is the, you know, the benefit of this, you know, compare with other solutions, because there are other solutions that's doing, you know, across logic logical clusters management. So that's very clear. As I understand that the goal of KCP was to be a little bit more tightly integrated with Kubernetes mechanisms. That is to, to work through aggregated APIs and the CRD mechanism in order to supply multi cluster functionality, rather than doing so through a more external tool like OCM or cross play. I haven't seen a detailed comparison either. Stefan's presentation did not really compare it to others. So I think Ricardo, you have to hand raise as well. Yeah, they had our presentation in tag runtime and the project is pretty extensive. Yeah, I think the control plane is actually meant to manage other things than, I mean, besides Kubernetes, they can manage other things. But I think that's more on the roadmap. It's not quite there. So right now, I think the basic example is managing Kubernetes clusters. But then they're using Kubernetes resources on top of that. And I think longer term goal is also to manage some other resources that are not necessarily part of Kubernetes. So you can manage things like nodes or other types of clusters or other types of cloud native resources, but that's not actually implemented yet as far as I know. But yeah, it is pretty extensive. Mainly backed by VMware or maintainers are part of VMware. So I mean for sandbox is okay, but I mean something that in the future, they might want to look for maintain your diversity if they want to go for like incubation or further. Emily. So, completely agree with everything that Ricardo said, it definitely sounds like the project has a lot of high aspirations for making, giving that Kubernetes like experience in other infrastructure. The key call that I want to mention here and I don't know that we necessarily talked about it is they do have a slight focus on multi tenancy, which we don't have a ton of projects that create a framework for multi tenancy to be done by organizations or even service providers in a comprehensive fashion. So this would be one of those new additions. And in particular, if the project can pull off being that control plane across multiple different workspaces environments to give that Kubernetes like experience, we could potentially see more adoption of cloud native technologies outside of traditional Kubernetes deployments. It might be also in the area of other projects like Carpenter that was practically multi cluster and management spaces as well and the target clusters. Yep. So I think we open about this one. Is that correct. Amy. I think so, Josh has a comment and I don't think I'm finished. There we go. Okay. Well, I can actually say just you know for history this. This was originally a red hat project. And the main work on it has moved elsewhere. And that's one of the reasons for applying to the CNC office that they really wanted to be owned by the foundation because I think there might still be pieces of it that that red hat owns in a legal sense which we will of course donate. The, but putting my red hat hospital hat on instead of my tax CS hat. The, but just so that you know the history there. It's reasonable. Thank you. So the next one is was mock server and I'll just open the repo because this doesn't look like it's, I don't know if you went a bit deeper but this looks like a bit early. Hi, I realize I'm talking a lot here, but the maintainer of this project maintainer singular. I was at wasm con last week. And I met with him. It's a desktop testing tool for wasm for WebAssembly server site though. The body does have just the single maintainer. And just nine commits. Yeah, I think I think in the past for this kind of projects we gave a message to try to build at least a minimal community and then come back. I mean, based on meeting with him I think that would be reasonable. He's basically a QE who built this tool for his own use. And it's, you know, looking for a home for it because it's not his main job to maintain this tool. I think this might be a good candidate to shift over into the wasm working group. Yeah, that's exactly where I was going. I would recommend still too early. Definitely worth getting them connected with the wasm working group because I think that there are a lot of interested individuals who might find this useful. And potentially help drive some of the contributions that way and then once they get a little bit more mature and robust and have been around longer pre applying at a later date. I think they did. I'm close to the link there. Go ahead. Yeah, they did present to the wasm working group. They are connected, which I think is great. It's early stages. This is it like, I know it needs a home, but perhaps just being open source and inviting contributors might be first step, and then perhaps they can come back. I do appreciate the project being very ambitious early days. I think that's a very good kind of mindset to approach CNCF and understand the processes and be part of Sunbox. But hopefully they'll grow a bit more within the next couple of months. Sounds good. So, thanks Amy, one of the next one. So that's Kubian. It's pronounced like this. And yeah, so this is also on the management of additional coordinates clusters but relying on a coupe spray. And the same area of what we mentioned earlier with this be, I guess, I will just check because I don't know if they really presented. So any comments. So they did present in tag runtime. I think it's good for incubation, fairly mature for that for that level. So from KCP where KCP is more like a control plane at a higher level. Kubian is more of a cluster deployment creation tool. So it actually creates Kubernetes clusters and or a fleet of Kubernetes clusters and it helps manage them. They'd rely heavily on cube spray, which is another open source project. Sure. Other comments. Is there any reason why it couldn't be a cube spray project rather than independent project if it's so tightly coupled? Well, right now they say that they support only cube spray but maybe in the future they might support something else. But I mean it's something that we can bring up to them. They might be good to just work with the cube spray community instead of having something separate if they're only going to support cube spray. But yeah, so that question actually came up in the meeting and they said that they only support cube spray at the moment. All right, so there are some value added in the sense that they actually manage the deployment of the remote clusters. There is some overlap with other projects that manage control plane like KCP and Carmada. And there is a question here asking if we can compare this to cluster API, which has a few extensive answer here. So what's the suggestion here? We go back and ask them to contact cube spray and try to clarify this or we suggest that for a vote. Yeah, I think it might be a good idea to go back and ask them whether they're going to support something else rather than cube spray. And if not, then open it up to see if they want to work with their community. But yeah, I mean, it's also open to what other folks suggestions have here too. I think it's entirely reasonable to send them back to have a meaningful discussion with cube spray to understand a little bit more about whether or not they should be homed with them and that they align really well and they're just another capability within that project, or if they're pointing on supporting more beyond that because once they once they branch out of just cube spray, then I think it's more applicable to a lot more adopters. Okay, so we asked them to clarify that, to ensure the contact group spray and discuss this a bit further, and then come back to us. What question, does anybody know if cube spray is a CSF project or is it under the Kubernetes community or I'm not really sure. It's under Kubernetes. Okay, so it's already working. Yeah, with the Kubernetes community so someone one option is just to go back to work with the Kubernetes community together with cube spray sounds reasonable. Okay. Okay, so we move to the next one, which is KCL, which is subscription is constraint based record and functional language and tools primarily utilized in cloud native configurations and policies scenarios. We can completely get what the goal here was so feel free to jump in, but it seems to be like some sort of abstraction language for defining these policies and relationships. Well, it's a DCL for managing Kubernetes clusters kind of like ballerina is if you know that commercial product. Yeah, is it kind of like Pulumi or something or ballerina is it's kind of like a line. Yeah, although Pulumi goes well beyond Kubernetes clusters so the is like Pulumi is a got a management language for all kinds of things. The DCL is strictly Kubernetes clusters. Well, Kubernetes and a few other tools like Argo, but things on top of Kubernetes. It seems to be significant activity and support. And I'm not sure from from what you were saying it doesn't seem like there are many projects in this area. Is that correct Josh. I don't know. I haven't really looked for them. And also, they've presented that tag in August is Nikita here I wanted to thank her for bringing basically know the tickets asking for presentations that this seems to be very effective. And the conclusion from seems to be that it's a good fix fit for CSCF sandbox, so I guess, good, good recommendation here. You open for all right. After them for a vote moving on. So there's a question from Leo about when should projects like this be put on the Kubernetes or since yeah. Anyone wants something. I think it depends. Unfortunately, like that's the short answer. It really depends on the project would it's trying to accomplish whether or not it's a supporting mechanism for Kubernetes or whether or not it's like its own independent project and I think that is like, and to Josh's point, he doesn't accept it so it's unfortunately kind of do this weird back and forth with some projects and trying to figure out where they go but it's really dependent on their scope and what it is that they're trying to accomplish. Yeah. There's also left a comment saying part of the question is if governance would actually accept it. So, but I see Cassie and Ricardo are in YouTube. Yeah. So, um, I think this part is the goal is to simplify some configurations and some APIs for managing the communities. So there, you know, there are other projects try to do this so I don't know whether it's surely I haven't done into detail how good it is, has this been presented to any pack or and, or to the Kubernetes API seek, you know, so that they know, yeah, that whether this is a, you know, the design is good, or how useful it is, my question basically is right, looks like it's trying to abstract to more, I mean, have more abstraction away from the infrastructure and provide more and lower, you know, configuration APIs to do that. I think the goal is to try to simplify that on those things, but how good it is. I think we have two options here either. There's a recommendation here from the tag to include it in the sandbox. And there's also the possibility of asking them to contact coordinates first to clarify if this is fits in the abstract. I think some feedback from the communities. I mean, I think it would be good. Yeah, sounds good to me. I think there's also a little bit of overlap with the open here, open policy agent. So maybe how I mean, because he talks about policies right so and how to manage policies so that a good question will be how different it is from that or is it the same or is it just for Kubernetes or is it trying to do more besides Kubernetes like none, you know, like other types of policies, maybe policies for cloud native environments. All right, so. I've just also left a comment about for the Kubernetes is not going to take it as a sub project so maybe we open for a vote and leave out anyway, note that they should reach out to parties to clarify this in any case, does that sound reasonable. What do we want to be able to clarify. If this is a fit as a company is a project or not. If we've already opened them for a vote for a sample project, I think we leave it there. Okay, so we open for a vote. Okay, open for a vote. We'll see what happens. Time check, we've got 15 minutes moving on. We only have to left should be okay. So coordinator, it says it's a quality of service. The scheduling system bringing optimal layout and status to work with such as microservice web services and big data jobs so in this case actually, well, having a look. It did feel like there's a lot of overlap with the scheduling scheduler of Kubernetes. Although it introduces notions like quality of service. So it is interesting. If I go down. I don't think they is. Did this actually happen Ricardo in time to presentation. No, I haven't have it yet. Yeah. Oh wait, that's coordinator. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it has it has but I wasn't able to do yeah to join that meeting but Well, you can take a look at the notes and see if we have any. Yeah, I checked before also you couldn't see. Any left. So I don't know if anyone managed to attend.  I think they will provide some isolations for to solve some noisy neighbor problems. You know, they, I think they are the other projects that are doing this. I think it's good to ask them to consolidate with other work streams in this area. And then come back to, I mean, to present to come back again. Well, my question here is, is why isn't this in the Kubernetes schedule. I don't know if they replied in some place I couldn't find it though. That's a good question too. I think because it's closer related to, you know, the resource scheduling. Yes, my suggestion is just to go back and talk to the batch initiative initiative system working group that we have another tag runtime and also work with the batch workload community so and then and then come back and see how they can work together with them. And Ricardo, can you put the exact name of that in the chat. I know, I know there's a bunch of different names for it and I want to be clear about like which one it actually is thank you. The group. Yeah, the bash working group. Yeah. So that's words please. Yeah, so there's the best to them where to go. Yeah, so there's the batch system initiative working group that Ricardo just based it there. And then there's the Kubernetes batch working group that is part of six. That's stolen. Yeah, there's also a community six schedule. There's a close related to that. So they can present there to start with tag runtime because it's always best to be able to give them one. Happy to be able to have more comments on the issue as well. So. Okay, so, but I guess the decision is to pass them these contacts and ask to come back with more clarifications later. And the last one we have this chaos. This is a meta Linux distribution to build immutable edge Kubernetes. And from my quick check with the project, this seems to be relying on the kids to build those images for for this different environments. Yeah, quickly on. Yeah, this we have a presentation on Thursday and tag runtime, so we haven't presented yet. So should they move it to the next one after they've presented at that runtime. It's unreasonable. I think I would like the recommendation from the tag before moving this into about that this has a lot of interesting opportunities but I think having that domain deep dive would be beneficial. Yeah. Sounds good. Also, this, this part is to build another immutable Linux distribution. Is that remix layer or in this OS be part of the. Do we have any party practice, which is like a Linux distribution. There's, there's a whole space behind these special purpose operating systems. So we also we've have also created a special purpose operating system working group so that the possibility is also open to work with that working group. But yeah, so there's other projects in that space like flat car and tallows and. I think there's some some other specific Linux distributions that. The overlap of this. And there's one specific to the edge, right? So, but I think it might be a good idea to hear what they have to say in a presentation. Yeah. Okay, sounds great. Thank you. It can also be beneficial to have the project present or invite some of the tag security members over to the project presentation and tag runtime. There are some zero touch. Zero trust kind of concepts that are being integrated within the project based off of some of their right papers I haven't read through them all but good idea probably to cross pollinate between the two tags on this project. That was good. We'll, we'll advertise and the tax security slack channel. Thanks. And I think that's it. We're done. Thank you very much.


Item number SCP-883 Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures Access to SCP-883 is limited to level 2 and over personnel who have been confirmed not to possess allergies to bee stings. All personnel entering the SCP-883 apiary is where standard beekeeper gloves and hooded suit. All personnel entering SCP-883 itself must be equipped with a safety line attached to one of the metal rods on the northern wall of the apiary. No personnel may venture more than 2 km into SCP-883 without authorization from 2 level 4 personnel. All personnel planning on venturing more than 2 km into SCP-883 are also required to do so in groups of 2 or more. Do not remove bee or honey specimens from the apiary without prior authorization from Dr. R- Description SCP-883 is a large fixed frame beehive contained in a wooden shed approximately 3 m tall, 1 m wide, and 2 m deep on the outside. The inside of SCP-883 appears to be much larger than the shed's outer dimensions with layers of honeycomb on the walls of the hive surrounding passages that extend for at least 8 km from the entrance. The interior of the hive is arranged in a maze-like fashion although no dead ends have yet been encountered. The bees inside SCP-883 do not match any known species of genus Apis. Most disturbingly, bees found further into SCP-883 appear to be very different from normal honeybees. Bees found more than 1.5 km into SCP-883 possess one pair of wings more than normal honeybees. Bees found more than 2 km in are highly aggressive and possess a toxic sting that has failed to respond to any treatment administered so far. Several specimens recovered from more than 7 km into SCP-883 do not appear to be insects at all, possessing data expunged. The honey extracted from SCP-883 also varies in composition depending on how far in from the entrance it was retrieved. Honey retrieved from more than 1 km in has mild narcotic effects and honey retrieved from more than 4 km in is not safe for human consumption. Due to high levels of arsenic it is not known where the bees get food or water from nor has it been determined what supplies them with nectar for making their honey. Addendum 883A Due to the events of data expunged travel more than 6.5 km into SCP-883 is forbidden.


Inventory errors affect the computation of costs of goods sold and net income and cause either an overstatement or understatement of net income. This is most easily observable when we review the costs of goods sold model. An overstatement of ending inventory would cause costs of goods sold to be too low and therefore net income would be too high. The two most common causes of inventory errors are failure to count or price inventory correctly and not properly recognizing the transfer of legal title in goods and transit. This second issue relates to FOB shipping point and FOB destination transactions. Inventory errors are often self-correcting, meaning an error in ending inventory of a current period will have a reverse effect on net income in the next accounting period. So over two years, the total net income is correct because the errors offset each other. In this example, we have two years, 2015 and 2016. In 2015, ending inventory is overstated by $5,000 and reported as $20,000 instead of $15,000. This causes net income to be overstated by $5,000 and reported as $30,000 instead of $25,000. The reason inventory errors reverse is because the ending inventory in one year becomes the beginning inventory in the next year. In this case, the 2015 overstated ending inventory becomes 2016's overstated beginning inventory. So now, 2016 goods available for sale are overstated by $5,000. Assuming a correct inventory account in 2016, costs of goods sold is now overstated by $5,000, which means net income is now understated by $5,000 in 2016. The $5,000 error reverses itself.
