Hi, thank you for joining us for this TechSoup special webinar, Technology Solutions for Larger Library Systems. I'm Aretha Simons. I'm the webinar producer. I'm going to be your host, but I'm really not going to be around that much. It's going to be some great speakers here today to let you know more about technology solutions for libraries. Just to let you know a little bit of housekeeping and how you can engage in the webinar today. You are on mute currently right now, but if you would like, you can ask your question in the Q&A section. We prefer you use the Q&A feature that way sometimes when you're in the chat room, things kind of move up. And if you use the Q&A, we'll be able to see the question at the end. We'll answer all your questions at the end. For those of you who registered for this event, you will get the replay of this event within 48 hours. If you've learned something new today, why don't you tweet us at TechSoup or hashtag at TechSoup.org, excuse me, at TechSoup on your Instagram, Facebook. If you need the closed caption, use the CC button located right down at the bottom of your screen. And again, welcome on behalf of TechSoup and our over 100 partners that help us provide hardware and software at a discount for nonprofit organizations. We want to say a big thank you to our libraries. We can do anything without our libraries. And through this pandemic, libraries have had a constant comfort to the communities around the globe. So we appreciate you. But I'm going to turn this over to our speakers, Ashley, Jonathan, Jamie, and Rick, who's going to go into a little bit more. Actually, I'm excited to hear what you have to say. And so over to you. Thanks so much, Aretha. And thank you, everyone, for joining us today. Whether your library is new or you've been using TechSoup resources for years, we're grateful that you could attend our webinar. My name is Ashley Hendershot, and I supervise the major market development team at TechSoup. Along with my associate Jonathan, who's covering the chat for any questions that you might have during this webinar, we assist multi-branch nonprofits and libraries to both register each of their locations for TechSoup so that they can maximize on their eligibility for solutions provided by our donor partners. Having a TechSoup account is free, and we support 501c3 nonprofits of many kinds, including churches, foundations, associations, PTAs, and many more. Our team was specifically curated to support national and multi-branch nonprofits to simplify their registration and qualification process while working with TechSoup. Managing multiple accounts for your library system can be a daunting task, but our team is here to assist you. Let's talk a little bit about TechSoup's approach. For over 30 years, TechSoup has brought transformative products and resources to the nonprofit sector. Through our engagement with nonprofits, we've been able to successfully determine their needs and get them access to resources at discounted rates so that they can put their savings back into their communities that they serve. Here's a little bit about of our TechSoup donation program. TechSoup has over 80 donor partners providing solutions in accounting, security, business planning, cloud computing, fundraising, grant writing, website management, telecommuting, training, analytics, web and graphic design, and much, much more. Each of our donor partners who participate in the TechSoup donation program get to set the limitations of their offerings by budget size, calendar year, or fiscal year. With these limitations in mind, we encourage library systems with multiple branches to be sure that each of their branches are registered for individual TechSoup accounts. This will allow each library branch to have unique eligibility when requesting solutions from our donation program and not limit the other branches within their system from obtaining resources needed to support their community. Why does TechSoup charge admin fees? As I mentioned, TechSoup has been providing the nonprofit sector with discounted technology solutions for 30 years, but TechSoup is also a nonprofit. We negotiate with our donor partners to offer software and hardware opportunities of highly discounted rates, sometimes at a third or a fifth of the regular retail cost, and we charge admin fees to continue our donation program and keep our lights on. Charging admin fees has also helped TechSoup to expand the range of solutions we are able to provide and who we provide them to. This quote has allowed us to offer technology solutions to nonprofits across the globe. Library eligibility. Unless they are a 501c3 organization, library systems are not eligible for TechSoup accounts, but individual library branches within those systems are eligible. As long as they have 501c3 status independently or you can register with their FSCS numbers found in the IMLS, which is the Institute of Museum and Library Services. If a library does have 501c3 status, they'll need to be verified on their website. Library support organizations such as Friends of the Library, Library Foundations, Consortium of Libraries, Library Cooperatives, and Library and Networks must be 501c3 nonprofits also to qualify for TechSoup. Let's talk a little bit about purchase orders because I understand libraries use them pretty often. As governmental entities, we understand that libraries often require purchase orders to get payments issued for products or services that they request through TechSoup. Purchase orders are important tools because they serve as legally binding documentation of the goods and services that are ordered with a promise to follow up with payment. We're happy to assist your library by signing and returning purchase orders and creating invoices for your donation requests. But payments would need to be received and cleared before TechSoup can fulfill any requests made through our donation program. The only exception to this rule is for Mobile Beacon for bulk orders of 55 hotspots or more. And we will dive a little bit deeper into Mobile Beacon offers shortly. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Founded in 2000, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is the largest transparently operated private charitable foundation in the world. The foundation offers grants to purchase computers for public library patrons and provide technical training and support for library staff in low-income communities. Thanks in part to a grant from the foundation, TechSoup has connected libraries with donations and discounts since 2002 and served libraries with free content, webinars and newsletters since 2008. We believe in the mission of nonprofits and libraries and we're proud to say that well over half of U.S. public libraries are currently using the TechSoup donation program. We also have a specialized page dedicated to support of libraries on TechSoup.org titled TechSoup for Libraries. Our TechSoup newsletters. We currently have three newsletters available within TechSoup and first and foremost is the one specific to libraries. This monthly publication gets libraries learning resources as well as keeping them up to date on relevant technology news. Our other two newsletters are called by the cup, which yes does offer soup recipes but also includes different technology resources and our other newsletter is called the new product alert which informs subscribers of new additions to the TechSoup online catalog as well as updates on replenishing products that have been out of stock. We offer discounted and donated products and understanding the unique needs of nonprofits has led TechSoup to develop relationships with top technology providers to get them access to tools that they need to continue their mission. We've amassed an amazing collection of solutions to not with nonprofits in mind and we can't wait to share some of those exciting offers with you today. Now let's take a little deeper look into the most popular TechSoup offerings for libraries. Microsoft is one of our most popular donor partners getting your public facing computers at your library access to donated versions of operating systems, office licenses, access and servers. Microsoft provides these offerings through a two-year allotment cycle and during its two-year cycle an organization can request up to 50 of each donated desktop product or Cal, up to 25 licenses of Windows server standard and up to five donated licenses of other servers that are not Windows server. Office 365 and cloud implementation services. TechSoup vets nonprofits for Office 365 solutions but libraries must go through a different channel to request cloud solutions. Microsoft has an academic channel where libraries can request Office 365 A1 at no cost and we'll be happy to provide a link to that resource after the webinar. Adobe Creative Cloud is a collection of creative design applications for designing, developing and publishing graphical video, audio and interactive content. This offer provides access to discounted rates for the Creative Cloud all apps plan for one user.  After you request this offer through TechSoup you'll pay Adobe $19.99 per month or $239.88 for the first year for the discounted membership. Applications available within the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription include Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects and Dreamweaver. TechSoup also offers Intuit QuickBooks. Intuit offers accounting software that helps organizations manage essential financial tasks like paying bills, creating invoices, producing reports and tracking expenses. Your organization can choose QuickBooks from your for desktop for one user or three or a yearly QuickBooks online subscription with annual renewal directly through TechSoup at non-profit rates. Features such as payroll are also available from Intuit directly with additional fees. DocuSign, in an unpredictable pandemic such as the one we've all been facing since last March being able to work remotely has been vital to keep productivity alive. Having virtual tools like DocuSign allow you to move projects forward and this has been an amazing access to the non-profit sector. DocuSign lets you create virtual envelopes, request attachments and helps you get documents signed digitally so that you can keep socially distant while being productive. TechSoup also has managed services like digital marketing solutions. We've partnered with TAP Network to offer customized digital marketing solution plans to help nonprofits and libraries to build their brand. TAP Network specializes in building campaigns within your budget and they specialize in multi-channel marketing and offer expert guided customized campaign solutions and digital marketing services to help you design your goals, build your plan, launch your marketing campaigns and manage your digital marketing needs. These cost-effective solutions are designed to help you build your brand and achieve your specific campaign goals. Website services for nonprofits. These are also offered by our partner TAP Network who can help you determine your nonprofits website goals. They offer free website assessments to help you strategize and leverage the right tools to engage your followers and funders. TAP provides these services that you need to optimize your website and scale your online initiatives with less effort and greater impact. And now I'd like to introduce Jamie Williams, the hardware program manager at TechSoup who will share some hardware resources. Thank you Ashley and good morning folks. My name is Jamie Williams and I'm a program manager here at TechSoup and I help manage and oversee many of our hardware offerings. So there's an awful lot to tell you about our hardware offers but as we don't have too much time this morning I'm just gonna give you guys a quick run-through of the kind of products we do have available. And if you do have any questions please feel free to ask away in the Q&A chat. I will either answer as many as I can during the webinar or we'll follow up with you guys afterwards. So taking a look at the hardware offers at TechSoup back in 2006, we recognized the need across our library and nonprofit members for low cost computers. With the help of our now retired colleague Jim Lynch whom some of you might know as the former head of the TechSoup Libraries Division we partnered with Microsoft and a number of major refurbishers across the country to set up what was called the TechSoup Refurbish Computers Initiative. Through this program we were able to offer extremely low pricing on refurbished computers exclusively for our members and every computer did come with a free copy of Microsoft Office and Windows. Over the years, the program has grown immensely over the last 12 months alone especially due to the increased need for computers through the pandemic, we distributed over 32,000 refurbished computers and monitors gifted in these machines, these perfectly usable machines, second life and keeping them out of the landfill. So as Ashley mentioned earlier on it is always our imperative to identify and supply the kind of technology that our members need and since first launching the hardware offering back in 2006 we've since teamed up with major manufacturers across the globe to provide you guys with deep discounts on a variety of different kinds of hardware. So staffing off with computers in addition to the refurbished offerings that I have mentioned our members can access discounts on a variety of new computers and monitors through the likes of Dell, Lenovo and HP. Through those three programs in particular most of the discounts come through either providing you guys with access to a private store that is created exclusively for our members. It's a self-service experience where you will visit the HP all and over website. All of the computers they are automatically discounted for you guys and you can just place orders as you please. And through the Dell program in particular we offer coupons that offer you discounts that stack on top of any existing promotions that they already have running. And through each of those programs for those that don't have large IT teams at their disposal you will be assigned a technical business advisor and you can reach out to those guys at any time and they will help you essentially identify what products are best for your needs and they can even help you put together some special non-profit discounts if they're not already available through the private stores. In addition to computers we do have a variety of net we're going to quit my don offer to libraries. We offer very deep discounts on lab scale enterprise equipment from Cisco and for the most small to mid-sized organizations that don't need such enterprise-grade equipment we also provide equipment from the likes of Moraki and Linksys which is a bit more of a base foundational set of equipment and a lot more easy to implement and maintain. One of our most popular offerings among libraries in particular over the last 18 months is one that's generously provided by one of our oldest and most valued partners, MobileBeacon and they provide internet hotspots which many libraries are using to establish internet lending programs among their communities. Among our other offerings are open box headsets from headsets.com printers and supplies from hp.com brand new wireless keyboard and mice from Microsoft and a variety of other miscellaneous accessories and devices including desktop hard drives refurbished Samsung smartphones and USB flash drives that if you wish you could even get printed with your library's own branding. It's really been a joy for me working with TechSoup and helping serve our library members over the years and I hope we brought plenty of value to you. If you would like to check out what other hardware office we have available please visit techsoup.org or slash hardware. That's all from me and I'm more than happy to pass the rings over to our trusted friend from the MobileBeacon team, Rick Lindholm. Thanks, Jamie. And good morning and good afternoon everyone depending on where you are. I am the sales manager here at MobileBeacon and we provide unlimited 4G internet access to libraries, schools and nonprofits. I believe it's our 10th year as a partner with TechSoup. These hotspots can connect up to 15 Wi-Fi enabled devices and they are used to connect your smartphones, tablets, laptops to the internet from any location in the 4G area. I travel quite a bit and I always have three devices with me my cell phone, my iPad and my laptop that I am always connecting to off that one hotspot. So I never have to pay the hotel internet access fees. So imagine when I go to a lunch or to a meeting and I have other people that are meeting me and now they're just sharing off that same device. You can see the coverage area on our website. The last thing I want you to do is to buy a large amount of devices for you to say there is no coverage. Please start with one or two through TechSoup and then you can always come back for more. All of the devices come with a one-year warranty and you can also have content filtering applied free of charge. We also give you the ability to block and allow which means say you have a two-week checkout period and the device is not returned, you can go in there and block the device so it can no longer be used. Once the device is returned, you can go back in there and now allow data again. Next. The way we process works is when you are ready you would go to TechSoup, search mobile beacon and there you will see our offer from one to 11 devices. This is per branch per fiscal year. You will pay TechSoup an admin fee of $15 per device and within 24 to 48 hours they will email you a fulfillment email with the instructions and code you need to apply on our site. There you will pay mobile beacon the $120 for the year of service which is the $10 per month plus shipping which is based on the number of devices you take. If it's a bulk order and we define a bulk order as 55 devices or more, TechSoup will help with the processing of that order and really takes a lot of the legwork out of it for you so that you don't have to enter each branch on our website. You would send me an email saying you have a bulk order I will then introduce it to TechSoup and we will take the process from there. This is quality internet access that we're providing and is the same network offered by others. Download speeds average between six to eight megabits per second with peak speeds of 25 megabits per second. Next, TechSoup over the last 10 years has received requests from libraries for 23,356 hotspots since the program began. Those requests came from 13,205 individual libraries or library branches. Who wants to be next? You could please reach out to me. My email is simply rick at mobilebeacon.org and don't forget all of that is for $10 per month unlimited. Thanks, Ashley. Thanks so much, Rick and thank you so much Mobile Beacon for providing excellent wireless service to the nonprofit sector. Also TechSoup provides validation services and we are a trusted philanthropy arm for multiple industry leaders offering their validation services with nonprofits. We vet those nonprofits for services provided by Google, Okta, Facebook, Airbnb and more. Having a TechSoup account is not required in order to take advantage of these special offers but it does help speed up the validation time that it takes to review your nonprofit for the qualification process. Now we'll talk a little bit about specialized training options for your nonprofit or library. TechSoup offers monthly webinars just for public libraries and nonprofits. In addition to weekly more general webinars on varying technology topics such as Excel tips, how to use into a QuickBooks, digital storytelling and more. We also have a webinar archive where you can view past webinars on varying technology resources. Missions accomplished with TechSoup services. Our mission is to help you with your mission and we have multiple technology solutions to help you achieve your goals. TechSoup offers specialized services to help you implement technology solutions to achieve those goals and move forward with the projects. Our specialized services include help desk which allows you to set up tech support on multiple levels as needed by your nonprofit or library. You can request one-time fixes or monthly support or yearly support at discounted rates and these services can help you to set up ongoing virus protection and backup maintenance. We also offer cloud advice and implementation services to help nonprofits to optimize moving their data to the cloud and assist them with email migration to Office 365. We also have a program called Consultant Connection which was developed to provide organizations with access to a network of verified trusted consulting firms who have experience helping nonprofits with technology, fundraising and marketing. The Consultant Connection program makes it easy to find consultants who specialize in and are referred by nonprofit organizations. TechSoup also offers specialized courses. Expert developed courses designed to deepen and expand tech skills for nonprofits and library staff. We're excited to bring online learners a new collection of powerful courses that combine great skill sets and content from Microsoft with TechSoup, steep understanding of how nonprofits use technology. The current courses available include tech planning and this course will help you get out of your technology doldrums so that you can access your organization's technology infrastructure and address your current and future needs. We also have digital skills with Excel and this course is designed to give you a deeper understanding of Excel use and will help you to increase the efficiency of record keeping for your nonprofit. We have email marketing for nonprofits and libraries and this is a five-part bundle. We are working with TAP Network, our partner that I mentioned earlier to offer a five course track designed to help you get a deeper understanding of how to integrate email with online and offline marketing channels to successfully integrate marketing campaigns. And we have a course on Google Analytics and this is designed to ensure that your nonprofit or library understands and optimizes its impact with Google through such features as articles and understanding behind the scenes analytics of Googles by using Google by the visitors to your website. Let's connect. It's been wonderful sharing TechSoup resources with you today and we would love to connect with you to assist you and your library branches in maximizing your eligibility for TechSoup solutions. Please feel free to reach out to our team at the alias on screen MMD at TechSoup.org so we can help you both register your library branches or help you place bulk donation requests to get your library's access to additional resources through TechSoup. You can also reach out to us for additional information on any of the wonderful donors that we shared with you today or for those Mobile Beacon hotspots that Rick shared about earlier. And while I'm talking about Mobile Beacon, before we let you go, congratulations. Because of the generosity of Rick and Mobile Beacon, we've chosen one lucky participant today at random to receive a Mobile Beacon hotspot with one year of service for free. Sally Greer of Southfield Library, you have been specially chosen and we'll be reached out to you after this webinar to get your information so we can get your prize to you. Thank you so much for joining us today. It has been a pleasure sharing about TechSoup resources with you. And if anyone has any questions, please feel free to put them in the chat or unmute yourself so you can ask them to us live. They're unable to unmute themselves, but feel free to. Oh, I apologize. I sit in the chat room. That's okay, that's okay. You guys did a great job. I learned so much to listen to you all today. Any questions for us? Please type in a chat room and congratulations to Sally. Am I correct? Yes, congratulations, Sally. I will get that out to you soon. Awesome. There's no luck there are any questions, but I do have a question. Sure. And maybe I'm gonna start from the top with Jamie. There are a lot of products that are available with TechSoup and you mentioned Dell, but I saw one time there was in Apple laptops. I'm like, oh my God. There were Apple laptops at like half of the price you would buy from the Apple store. That's amazing. Absolutely. The Apple products we have, they are all refurbished. We haven't quite yet set up a brand new program with Apple, but it is in the works potentially. But yeah, we do have more than one Apple MacBook Air I believe available through the refurbished program. And we also have some Microsoft service tablets as well as the docking stations too. So there's plenty of different kinds of product types to fit everybody's needs. Beautiful, beautiful. And then Rick, as I mentioned to you earlier, I didn't know how the mobile beacon work if you had to have like service with AT&T or T-Mobile. So you're mobile beacon and what does it look like anyways? Because I was just curious. It's very small, it's the size of a cell phone. So yeah, and technology changes so much. Like we're constantly getting new devices. So it's just amazing the different features every time they change. But that device is the source of the internet access. So that's the hotspot that is providing the internet if you did not have internet already or just think of it too as internet on the go. So you may have internet at home but you may travel quite a bit or you may just for work-wise or to have an extra device especially as a student, college student and how much you could get done on that one device and how many you can connect to that. That's amazing. And it's $10 a month. $10 a month unlimited. That's a steal. It really is. Right. It really is. And so my question also for Ashley now, everybody, all of us have went to the library as a child and we know how important libraries are. So how long has TechSoup worked with libraries? Has it been like 30 years? How long have we worked with libraries? I think we've had specialized curated library, you know, newsletters and as I mentioned earlier since 2002 or 2004. And so we have been supporting libraries for many years but I think that the purchase order processing does get to be a daunting task since many libraries are used to having a net 30 purchase order process. And unfortunately TechSoup can't process purchase orders that way but we are happy to create invoices so that they can get payment cut by their city of origin or, you know, who's their financial backer. But yes, TechSoup has served libraries for many years. And I heard you talk about 501c3 or if you don't have a 501c3 and friends in the library, can you kind of tell us what that means, what that's about just for those of you don't know? Sure, so 501c3 libraries, you know, will have 501c3 status through the IRS independent and libraries that have FSCS numbers, they technically are governmental entities and they are kept in a database in the, let's see the, the IMLS, the internet museum and library database, I believe it is and they can use their FSCS number to qualify for TechSoup. And that's the way that we qualify them when they do not have independent 501c3 status and consortiums of libraries, friends of libraries, library networks, these are all library support organizations. And as long as they each have independent 501c3 status with the IRS, they qualify for their own TechSoup accounts as well. Okay, because sometimes I've gotten mail and it says from friends of the library, I'm picking it's just the library. So there's support organization for the library and they can share the donations that they acquired through TechSoup with the library that they are the friends of. So it is a wonderful network of supporting libraries. That's awesome, that's awesome. So if there are no more questions, I think I've got all my questions answered. I want to thank you all for being here. Thank you, Ashley. Thank you, Jonathan, who's been behind the scenes. Ashley and Jamie, thank you so much for doing this webinar. We're gonna post a link for the survey in the chat room. Let us know what you thought about the webinar. If you wanna hear more about the libraries because I'm sure when you hang up or you let your computer down, you'll probably be thinking of more questions that you wanna ask. But thank you all. As I always tell everybody why you're taking care of yourself here in the non-proper world, make sure you take care of yourself. Everybody have a great day, bye-bye. Thank you everyone. Thank you so much. Thank you for your generosity, Rick. Take care, thank you guys for including me. Absolutely.

The following message contains distressing scenes based on hate crimes prosecuted in Wales. A blind woman walks along the street with her cane. Actors have been used and details changed to protect the victims. A figure close behind her. I was walking along the street in broad daylight when I was attacked by a total stranger. The pavement looms upwards, birds take off, the woman sits at home, head down, shoulders slumped. I crossed the road to try and get away from him, but he followed me and attacked me again. Birds take off. I'm partially sighted and use a cane when I'm out. I was targeted because of how I look. And I felt too afraid to go out or use my cane in public in case I was attacked again. Her frown creases her forehead. She's white, middle aged with dark hair. Caption 4654 hate crimes were recorded in Wales in 2020-21. 504 were disability hate crimes. 50% of victims say they would not report a hate crime in case it made things worse or they thought nothing would be done. I wasn't confident to speak with the police but I needed to report the attack because he might do this to other people. I called victim support instead and they took me seriously and made me feel heard. I gave a statement and they supported me to seek justice. A dog pads in. They found me a caseworker to visit and support me which has really helped. The woman strokes the fluffy dog, smiling. Caption perpetrator received a guilty verdict with custodial sentence. A bystander witness gave a statement and I am so thankful to that person for making a difference to my case. She walks outside, head held high. The prosecution's given me validation. With her long cane. I was targeted because I am disabled but I didn't have to stand for it. She smiles proudly. My caseworker right from the start has made me feel supported and I still see them regularly. They made me feel like I can go outside again. I still have a long way to go but I'm very glad I contacted victim support. Hate hurts Wales. If you see it happen report it and get support by calling the police. Victim support of visiting gov dot wales slash hate hurts wales. Let's stand up to hate crime together.


I usually don't respond to comments that are on the YouTube channel. I just don't find it to be super beneficial. That's a boundary that I've put up. But I saw one comment yesterday that kind of blew my mind. It was on a short that I had posted maybe a year ago, but it's still super relevant to our time. And so today I want to actually address this comment. We'll watch the video that it was made on as well, because I think it highlights a greater responsibility we have as Christians and how we approach the LGBTQ community and how we shouldn't be approaching that community.  Be sure to subscribe because I'm putting out new videos like this all the time. But let's get into this comment itself. This is kind of like something that really caught me off guard. I usually don't look at comments too often, but here it is. I'm actually really disappointed in you here. Well, not the first time somebody's been disappointed in me. We as Christians should not be letting LGBT in our homes, lives, churches, jobs, etc. The Bible is very clear about these types of people that they are and how they turned out that way. Read Romans one. Well, I'm very familiar with Romans one, but I almost wonder if this was somebody from Stephen Anderson's church, which is the church of the fellow that I'm going to respond to or that I did respond to that we'll watch right now. This was the video that the comment was made on. No homos will ever be allowed on this church as long as I'm the pastor here. Five or 10 years ago, a lot of the stuff that I preached, people thought it was too radical. Now, to me, LGBT stands for let God burn them. Right. But he said, well, it's LGBTQ. Well, then you could say, let God burn them quickly. There are so many people out there giving Jesus a bad name. We're already on thin ice talking about LGBT issues with unbelievers. But with preachers like this running amuck, it forces us to do a lot more untangling. Yes, God is holy and just, but he is also merciful, gracious and loving. He demonstrated that love when he sacrificed himself on the cross for us. We need to stop condemning other people as if we're not sinners ourselves. The fact is, without God's grace, we would all rightfully receive God's wrath. Here's the good news, though. God wants to give us new desires, a new heart. He wants to give us a new identity where we no longer identify with who he once were. But now we step into who we now are in Christ. I don't know about you guys, but that's a pretty good video. A pretty good video. I fully endorse what I said there. I also have much more of a puffy beard in that video as well. Do you guys think I glue up or glow down? I don't know. OK, let me know in the comments down below. Please don't actually, please don't. I think that this this guy is probably from Stephen Anderson's church. And he's saying, OK, you know, we shouldn't be letting these people in our houses and our homes and, you know, they're going to indoctrinate our children and all this kind of thing. And I'm like, OK, it's one thing sending your child to a public school where, yes, they're teaching this type of ideology and I am not for that at all.  I think that is a huge aspect of what it means to be a Christian. Like the idea that you wouldn't invite these folks anywhere and you'd keep them out and you push them away from all these things is so antithetical to the message of Jesus. One of the things that's been really helpful for me in navigating this topic in this issue and in relationships that I have with folks that identify within the LGBTQ community is the distinction between acceptance and approval. So approval here is basically like the progressive Christian or the secular culture approach to these things.  We don't care. We fully support you because that is the definition of love is to bring our approval to every behavior. So that's what they believe, right? But what I embrace is this idea of acceptance. I accept people where they're at. I accept people because they are made in the image of God. I see their dignity and their worth. But I don't approve of their behavior. There's a distinction there because I believe in order to love somebody authentically, in order to love somebody truly and biblically, we can't be an approval of something in their life that is harming them, right? And that's just a basic like level one one on one and how to love somebody. You think about a friend, right? You have a friend and this friend is maybe they're smoking cigarettes. Maybe they're getting drunk on the weekends. Maybe they are, you know, doing things to, you know, just in their life that are really irresponsible or really damaging to themselves. And you as a friend, you're going to say, hey, friend, I love you. I see your dignity and worth.  And all these things are very true. But I also don't approve of that behavior that you're doing. And as your friend, that's why I want you to actually change this thing. That's why I want you to seek something better, right? I want you to be free from, from this kind of lifestyle. Similarly, when you're looking at somebody within the LGBTQ community, I would say, hey, like, friend, I know that this is kind of where your desires are at. But I also know that God calls us each and every day to submit our desires to him to pick up our cross and follow Christ. It's this idea of dying to self each and every day in pursuit of him. And so, yes, there are things that you're going to need to lay down, right? But they're going to be better for you. You're going to be better for it. And so that's a distinction here between acceptance and approval. I accept you. I love you, but I don't approve of this lifestyle. One of the reasons I was so taken aback by this comment was because I believe that hospitality is powerful. And not only have I seen that in my life, but I've seen it in the lives of other people. One of the books that I have been reading and that I really enjoy is called The Gospel Comes With a House Key. And it's the story of Rosaria Butterfield and how she went from a lesbian professor to a Bible-believing Christian woman who married a man. And like, how amazing is that?  But God did that through the means of a Christian family that she was constantly engaging with, that invited her into their home, that weren't kind of, you know, turned away by the fact that she was this kind of lesbian professor and very progressive and they weren't scared. They were like, oh, we got to keep this woman away from our house because she might be, you know, going to start indoctrinating us or something. They're like, no, no, no, we want to invite you into our life so that we can be a real witness to you about what it looks like to follow Jesus and the story, the book is powerful. I really encourage you to pick it up. But it just testifies once again to the fact that hospitality, when we are echoing the what God calls us to, what Jesus calls us to, when he talks about Matthew 25, you know, when you do these things for these people, you do them for me when you welcome somebody into your home, when you give them something to eat, when you give them something to wear, you do these things for me. And in hospitality, it's this idea of sacrifice, sacrificing our own convenience, our own comfort in service of somebody else to provide and to make them the guests in not only our homes, but our communities and our churches as well. So many folks from the LGBTQ community have such a negative, have had such a negative experience in so many churches. And it's not just because they enter churches that called their lifestyle sin, even though that's definitely a part of it for some folks, but also just maybe treated with some sort of hostility. I just want it to be, I want my church to be, I want my home to be a place where they know that they are loved, that even though I may disagree with the way they live their life, they are fully accepted because I see the image of God within them. And I want them, I want them to be at peace. I want them to find Jesus and experience the freedom and forgiveness that he has for them. There's a massive element here that we need to understand our own sin before God. We cannot be standing on our high horse. I can't be standing on my high horse and saying to these people, like, you're so sinful, you choose to be in this lifestyle. You're wicked. And I am this great person and, you know, I condemn you, but I'm not recognizing the sin within my own heart. I am how I approach people, how I want to be approaching people with humility, with grace, with compassion, with understanding. I was exactly where you were. Maybe I wasn't into the same temptations, but I was in the lust. I was in the greed. I was into covetousness, into pride. And so I know where you're at here.  I was thirsty. I was looking for living water and I found it.  And what I want to welcome you into is rest, into grace, into peace, into a right relationship with God, because right now we're, you know, without God, we're under the wrath of God.  While we hated him, he welcomed us into his home. He was hospitable to us when we were the worst of the worst. We smelled like absolute trash, and yet he welcomed us in. And that's the same mentality, that's the same hospitality that we should be showing other people that we disagree with to say, hey, I want to welcome you into my home because God has welcomed me into my home. And I want to welcome you into my family because God has welcomed me into his family. Thanks guys for watching this video.

Today, we've got, I dread to say, a different episode than usual, even. We're going to be talking about something that is perhaps quite, as most people would say, triggering or difficult or emotional. We're going to be talking about autism and suicide and everything that comes along with it, things to do with depression, things to do with mental health support. We're going to be talking about our particular experiences with it, so if that's something that you are thinking yourself, oh my God, I don't want to spiral myself out and I'm not in a good place to listen to this, then I would encourage you to check out one of your other episodes, but if not, I'm sure this is going to be a really great conversation, and I forgot to introduce my guest.


Go. Hello. This is Jenkins Platform SIG meeting. We're on March 14, 2023 It's by day More on that later on. Yeah, it's by day today. Whoo-hoo Today we're lucky enough to have Mark Wait with us and Kenneth Ken Salerno. Hope I didn't butcher your name We have a few open-action items This one you've seen them for a few meetings and you'll see them in a few meetings too for a few meetings That's okay. Some things have changed. We'll see what's done Some updates experiments. We'll still discuss about CentOS 7 and Today we have another subject about power pc. That should be interesting anyhow So on the open-action items, we still have the docker images container Docker container for ablution. Um, it's Deprecated but we haven't announced it yet So we need to announce it uh a big page of docker. Let's hope We start the meeting the same way. We've been doing that for quite a while now Someday, uh, we'll dread that issue Um Mark I can't remember. Uh, we told that we would create an issue to promote the deprecation and the needed steps Yeah, that's me. That's you. Oh, right. That is because oh, sorry I think it's this is part of the bigger picture of us Of the jep we want we want a jankins enhancement proposal that provides us a way to communicate to users That they are now running a system that will be deprecated or after the deprecation date They are running a system that has been deprecated And right now the jankins administrative monitors don't really have the concept So it's we think it's a concept we need to add and then a way to communicate That concept into the into the code So, uh, if you don't mind we could switch then to the center s7 jankins control docker image because It's linked somehow because it's a product that will go end of life Sooner or later. So yes, we will need a jep. So, uh, jankins enhancement proposal To end the center s7 image earlier than june. And that's part of it. I'll I'll do that And I'm reasonably comfortable writing jeps. So I'm not not frightened by the Level of detail. There's there are a bunch of things that this exposes that oh, we got to think about this and about this, etc Yeah, maybe what will take the big part of time is discussing about the jep instead of implementing I get that should be not a well-miner of course, but We have to know What the community thinks about that before doing anything, of course Thanks mark Um Next what's done because yes, we not only have open action items. We also do things from time to time. So the latest, uh Images for the agent have been released. We have a release for sysh docker agent and inbud inbound agent It's not Groundbreaking it's just debian most of the time that has been updated so from an older version From to another more recent version of both eye And our climax also for the docker agent has been updated We don't know how much time we will keep updating our climax or if we will get rid of it one of these days We'll see that later on Now a subject, which is not yet official, but nonetheless, I'm working on that From time to time rix 5 and jenkins. So I wrote a blog post last week and kevin martens helped me Greatly in correcting and making some suggestions to the article so that now it is readable So it's all about my experience with jenkins on a rix 5 machine first timing. It's only for the agent So no controller and no docker image but That will come one of these days Then power pc supports in the container image controller and agents maybe so can What can you tell us about that? If I may let me um, of course share my screen. Oh, please do so Okay, it's I think we have to wait Mm-hmm. So first I'll show you what Okay, so this is the The node that's running in the in docker So you'll see This was built On an Ubuntu server And the server is amd amd 64 So I believe I believe there's a way I can actually show you In the script console So here So there you go So it's showing that the container itself is Being run with QEMU user static I think you're both familiar with that Are you using that? Mark with your s390 build I I don't know if we're using QEMU static or just QEMU, but we're definitely using Something like that because we're not building the container images on s390 I don't assume you have a Mainframe actually we we have access to one and that that's the really cool thing But we we are delighted not to have to use it So let me share what I do Yes, we build eggs, of course. Yeah All right, are you are you able to see my console? Yes. Yes. Okay So as I mentioned, this is x86 And what's running now as a docker container Is um what I used as my build host This is a docker-buildex And then I put the arc the architecture which we can you can actually specify there's many Many different architectures that's provided By the the minus minus platform No, so what I use is um, so I made a script because I I'm lazy and I just wanted to To document it So after So after I so this code block here is just to initialize the Ubuntu server with the community edition of docker So these steps are familiar to you already Uh, so once docker is up and running I have a build command where I I create a new docker container that Is the QEMU user static? container And if you give this privileges To mount partitions from the host And you give it certain parameters that are needed to make QEMU user static fully functional It will create the necessary bin format miss For the kernel to know that when you're executing When you're executing something that's in power pc The little indian or if you chose system 390 It'll know to use this The user static binary to execute the container command that you're running automatically So this is how you can Make a container that's a foreign architecture And not have to emulate the entire kernel and operating system, which is much much slower so when I So I'll show you my log file. So this is the log file of when I installed QEMU user static container and this is all the architectures that it supports here.  It's got everything you'd ever wanted risk five is in here And and of course the mainframe system 390 x is here So I of course chose to install the power pc 64 little indian a boom to is my container And then I installed the packages I need to have a build x environment So one important detail that I didn't Really spell out is You can't you can't run the docker service Inside of a QEMU user static container So what I did was I start the docker service on my host And then I forward My socket To the container You see that there So you so if I connect to my container right now So right now i'm on the container and you'll see here. It's a power pc architecture When I do a docker ps It's can it's communicating with the hosts docker And you'll notice it sees itself And it sees my jenkins container that I created So this is the way I get around when I want to build and test I have and then when you build it wants to load the image to The docker the finish so These images got written by the build by the build x script right here But again, this is all happening impossible because I forwarded my docker socket to the container While i'm inside this foreign architecture So just talk a little bit about the patch Very simple So what I was talking what I was referring to earlier mark was I just took what you're doing with system 390 Added my little endian power pc 64 so that we you know to enable the build to not die on unknown cpu and then in the bake hcl file I just added myself to the end here and i'm only building this depi in jdk 11 Which is copying what you did with the system 390 Yeah, I think uh, we had something like that a few Month ago, but we removed just about everything because we lost access on to the ppc 64 le machines am I right mark? That was part of it. The other part was that qam qam u was not working for us and I think ken has solved The qam u not working for us. Okay, so So the the the unavailability and and organ state university is willing to give us access give open source projects access to the ppc 64 le hardware If we request it and since we've already gotten a relationship with osu I'm not terribly worried about them granting that they already they've hosted us for years ken. Could you bring that back up? I wanted to so so this patch I think means that it's the controller so this is This you you made this patch you applied this patch in the repository Whose name is jenkin ci slash docker? I suspect yes Okay, good. All right. So this is the controller and the consumers that needed this was this enough for them? Or have they not yet given you an answer of oh, yeah, this is what we need So I my colleague daniel casale is the one who opened the ticket in the first place I'll I'll go back and ask him. I think it's his account Okay And I'll explain this is what I built so far and if they need something else if you if you don't mind maybe Putting it in the chat what I have to build Oh, absolutely here. Let me paste. So let's I'm gonna first paste into the chat what I think You where I think you were based on and then then you can say oh, well, no, that's not even where I did it So the It was here Yeah It was that one Good. Okay. So that matches it and that's that's the controller image Okay So and and that's the one that's the one that the con our contact who I forget her name, but uh a woman Of an indian or east asian name Was was helping coordinate the work on s390 And she wanted to be sure we had a controller image and and so that was the There and I'll have to check to see if if we've got S390 or if we've got any other images If we did they would be in this one Is the agent base image? And then there are two consumed by users agent images That derive from the base image. There's this one is the Agent used in Places like kubernetes So that inbound agent is is used in kubernetes cases. Okay the ssh agent This one Is used in In cases where Where the controller orchestrates or controller launches And controls the connection to the agent Yeah, but when mark says derives if in the idea not in the code yet. Yes, right Thanks, but it's a project we have brunos. Correct the architecture. I was I was describing mythical rather the Rather than literal dependency. Yeah, right So ken and I don't I I'm assuming that what they wanted was controllers Because they've got something they they want to do and I suspect they haven't yet arrived at the point of saying Oh, but we also need agents But I would assume they will eventually say oh, yes, we need agents particularly if they say Oh, we're running kubernetes on power pc Then they're going to need the inbound agent if they say, oh, we're not running kubernetes We're just running our own static agents. We're a financial institution. We need this or that Then then it may just be The ssh agents Got it. All right. Well, I'll build All three of them and let you know Um, and I assume I'm I'm going to need a similar patch to a make file and and the big uh each deal Yeah, the big for sure make file. Why am I not? Yeah, yeah, and I I don't remember if those if those those agents are A little bit cringe worthy and we apologize in advance I'm I'm actually quite pleased with how the controller builds the that build x stuff Is really elegant. I'm not sure that the agents are nearly that elegant. So you may find ugly Rather unpleasant things there. Just ask questions if you do Sure. Yeah, but maybe just a docker bag. I think I remember I removed A few weeks ago all references to ppc 64 le from the agent images or was it from the documentation? Yeah, can I ask a question since I have to build working For the controller Would it be too much to just ask you to put them back in for all four of these since I'm doing builds and this why I won't have to patch them Because as far as the agents I'm I'm going to have to go and read the code and figure out where I need to insert myself Anyway, would you guys be able to just put that back in there? I think it's a reasonable request But I feel like I've got to check with the security team That was one of the one of the things that we had we had a visit from the security team a few meetings ago And they said specifically hey, please be careful about what you add because everything that you add Increases responsibility on the security team to worry about caring for it So so I the I Your attendance here is the crucial step that says okay. Let's start that conversation And we bruno and I or bruno can bring it to the security team and say hey We've got a proposal. We've got a maintainer can is willing to be a maintainer and he said he's willing to be a maintainer And so having a maintainer that's that's aligned with for instance another an IBM employee Oliver oliver gonja Is the maintainer of the ubi 9 image? And and we rely on maintainers right so having a maintainer is the is the crucial thing I mean, it's easy enough. And like I said, I already scripted it. So it's not a big amount of heavy lift Great So yeah, and that's that's the piece that So long as so long as we've got your involvement and your willingness to continue being involved That feels like a reasonable request that we can take to the security team Okay, I could start um toying around with it in the meantime, but I'll wait for those commits Make sense Yeah, thank you Cam and bruno, could you could you note just for the controller image for now? Oh So this this initial step is Yeah, can we can we enable it for the controller image because that will simplify Things for can as he evolves it further Okay So let me do that in the action items Then mark if you have a contact outside of the forum, I could report to you if I was able to build those agents Oh, sure. Yeah mark. Yeah, you're welcome to just send me email mark dot url dot wait at gmail.com It's all over the place Or you can do it in in pull requests. That's fine too. Just meant at mention me in github either is fine Okay, uh, not thinking about security. I would be thrilled to have ppc 64 early back You know each platform we add. I know it's a security issue But uh, it's a nice thing for me to have another platform. So another other potential users. You never know Uh can anything you would like to add before switching subject? No, that's all I had. Thank you. Okay, cool. Thank you for coming by the way Mark, uh, you were at scale x last weekend and you had a Jenkins booth and on these booths you had a demo Uh And did each work I think the goal was just to have a nice breaker So can you tell us more about that? Sure. Yeah, so we I I created a stack of six raspberry pies from that I've acquired over the course of the last seven years and connected them to a network switch each of them running raspbian and One of them running the Jenkins controller the other five running Jenkins agents and I built Jenkins plugins with them So I built the implied I know it's kind of boring that really I use Jenkins to build Jenkins, but It's I you built the implied labels plug-in the crush platform shell plug-in and the platform label or plug-in and interesting experience because building big java code in a 500 500 Megabyte Pi is is not always successful, right? I mean that's Made it Well, it I like it much better when I've got at least a gig of memory and much much better when I've got four or eight Yeah, because I failed the platform lab the plug-in for example with one gig byte of memory and also failed the git Client plugin I would expect the git plugins to fail with anything less than eight because I have never given one thought to how much memory those things use of course in terms of In terms of their tests their focus was always check that they are functional that they're well behaved and use as much memories as available Yeah, so so it went great It was a good icebreaker several people asked the question. Wow. How did you get your raspberry pi since They're hard to get right now and the answer was I bought them years ago Which is not a very satisfying answer to the people who attend, but it's the truth Yeah, you could have made a few bucks by setting them on those table Yeah, congrats. Well done Is there any other subject you would like to address before we wrap it up? That's it from me. So ken will continue our conversation either by email or in poll requests Sounds good great. All right. Nice meeting everybody Cool, thanks for that game Um, the video should be available on youtube from 24 to 48 hours And we'll see each other In two weeks from now. Have a good rest of the day. Bye. Bye Thanks. Take care

In an interview recorded on August 31, Ibrahim Trawari, the military hunter of Burkina Faso, said, we are not enemies with the French people, it is the policy of those who run France that poses a problem in Africa, so as long as a state is not in an imperialist spirit, there is no problem. We must agree to look at each other as equals, and we must agree to review all of our cooperation. Without naming it, he chastised France for having granted independence and placed people at the helm of certain states. According to him, we have led people to sign a lot of agreements that prevent us from developing, and the imperialist states are not just France, they are others. He then added that Burkina Faso has since been seeking new cooperation with people who would support the country in terms of equipment and other things. Once Trawari came into power in October 2022, he has distanced Burkina Faso from her former coloniser and gotten closer to several non-Western allies, including Russia, Turkey, and Iran. On the evening of September 5, 2023, Captain Ibrahim Trawari welcomed Amad bin Abdulaziz Khattan, an adviser to the Royal Court of Saudi Arabia, who carried a special message from the Saudi king to the Burkina behead of state. While conveying the greetings sent by the Saudi king, Khattan highlighted the robust relations maintained by both countries and extended an invitation to Trawari to participate in two forthcoming summits in Saudi Arabia scheduled for November 10 and 11. These summits encompassed the Afro-Saudi summit and the Arab-African summit. Olivia Ruhamber, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Cooperation and Burkina Faso abroad, said that multiple agreements will be int during these meetings, and Saudi Arabia's financial support for critical projects in Burkina Faso will be unlocked. The conversations also focused on the projects that Burkina Faso intends to offer for Saudi financing, emphasizing the Saudi kingdom's support for critical infrastructure development that will benefit the Burkina B people. One of the reasons for Saudi Arabia's visit to Burkina Faso was to seek Burkina Faso support in its bid to host World Expo 2030. President Trawari responded by expressing his support for Saudi Arabia's ambition to host the 2030 World Expo. For Saudi Arabia to seek the support of President Trawari, it means that indeed Trawari has proven himself as an outstanding leader who is worthy to be reckoned with. This must be the reason why one of the most powerful economic groups in the world, BRICS, awarded Trawari the prestigious BRICS medal. The medal, awarded by the International Alliance of Strategic Projects, BRICS, recognizes Captain Trawari's unwavering fight for the sovereignty of his country and serves as a tribute to his exceptional determination and courage in defending Burkina Faso's autonomy. During the ceremony led by President Larissa Zelensova with an audience of BRICS delegates, discussions were held concerning BRICS collaboration and support in Burkina Faso. Zelensova emphasized the establishment of the BRICS Alliance's representation in Burkina Faso with a focus on critical areas to be chosen in consultation with the transition president. Zelensova further emphasized that the BRICS countries and Burkina Fasos planned areas of collaboration include economic, humanitarian, and cultural growth. This collaboration intends to promote mutual growth and advancement through strengthening economic links, boosting humanitarian initiatives, and encouraging cultural interchange between Burkina Faso and the BRICS countries. This is definitely a big win for Trawari. Another country that Ibrahim Trawari has sought partnerships with is China. On June 29, 2023, Luyushi, special representative of the Chinese government on African affairs, worked with Trawari in Wagadugu to exchange views on bilateral ties and matters of common interest and concern. Lu-shan, the Chinese ambassador to Burkina Faso, was also present. Luyushi stated that since the reopening of diplomatic relations, the two countries have strongly backed each other on issues relating to their respective core interests and practical cooperation has produced positive results. He further stated that China supports the people of Burkina Faso in pursuing a development path tailored to its own national circumstances, as well as in ensuring national security and stability and attaining economic and social progress. In addition, Luyushi said that China is willing to work with Burkina Faso to continuously strengthen political mutual confidence and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation. In response, President Ibrahim Trawari stated that Burkina Faso regards China as a prior and important cooperative partner, adheres to the One China Principle, and expresses heartfelt gratitude to China for actively assisting Burkina Faso in dealing with security crises and promoting economic and social development. He also added that Burkina Faso is eager to expand bilateral relations in order to benefit both countries and people. Ibrahim Trawari, like Rockmark Christian Cabaret and Lt. Colonel Paul-Henry Sandiogo-Dameba, before him, has also made Turkey one of his primary military partners, supplying him with Berakta TB2 armed drones and armored vehicles to protect against improvised explosive devices. In a national television interview, Captain Trawari cited Turkey as a major ally, assuring that his country will cooperate with those who want to help in the war on terrorism that has plagued Burkina Faso since 2015. After Erdogan Revep, President of Turkey, was re-elected in May 2023, Trawari took to his Twitter account to convey his congratulations and also reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening friendship and collaboration between Burkina Faso and the Republic of Turkey. Erdogan's re-election provides an opportunity to strengthen bilateral relations and explore opportunities for partnership in a variety of industries. Trawari also stated his willingness to collaborate with Erdogan to improve mutual understanding and cooperation for the sake of both countries. Aside from Russia, Turkey, China and Iran, Captain Trawari has also sought to deepen its ties with revolutionary movements in Latin America. In May 2023, Apollinaire Joachim Kailam de Tambola, the Prime Minister of Burkina Faso, travelled to Venezuela to meet with the President of Venezuela on behalf of Trawari. Tambola met with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who promised to advance in cooperation, solidarity and growth building a solid fraternal relationship. In July, the Burkina B Prime Minister also visited Nicaragua to commemorate the 44th anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution. Tambola attended Nicaraguan President Daniel Otega's July 19th Revolution commemoration in Managua. Tambola emphasized the historical heritage of solidarity between the revolutions in Burkina Faso and Nicaragua in his speech on the anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution. He recalled revolutionary leader Thomas Sankara visiting Nicaragua in 1986 and Sandinista leader Daniel Otega visiting Burkina Faso in the same year. Tambola went on to say that Burkina Faso backed Nicaragua in its International Court of Justice challenge against the US. Washington was found guilty of unlawfully funding far-right, contrary death squads that launched a terror campaign against Nicaragua's Marxist government, as well as planting mines in the country's ports. So, from this, it can be concluded that Captain Trawari is hard at work trying to build diplomatic relationships with other nations that would benefit Burkina Faso in the coming years.
