According to Gary of the universities of Wyoming, this concept has several meanings, all of which encompasses one or more of the following. Number one, powerlessness is the feelings that workers have when they are not able to control the work environment. Powerlessness means that the employee who wants to work does not have the authority to work. But it also has the potential, the powerless feeling. So this situation is very worst. When the employee goes in this situation, the desired results cannot be achieved. Meaninglessness is the feelings that workers get when their job becomes so specialized and so technological dependent. It implies that the job requires a very technical requirement. But it is not an expert for technology. You cannot achieve the desired results from it. Let me give you an example. You have to make a cash book. For that, a technical person is required. i-com, b-com, m-com are required. You ask the BA pass to prepare the cash book. There are chances that the person will consider that thing as a fatigue. Why? Because the background is not there. The same thing will become a stress for it. Right person at the right job is also very important to take care of it. Technological alignations in the automated workplace. Normlessness is the phenomena in which people working in high automated environment. Mindlessness is the result of the process of dumbing down the workplace. This is what students mean. In organizations, we do not have to put the employee above the rest-less-less level. We have to motivate the employee. In fact, we have to motivate ourselves. We have to keep the employee's energy level high. We have to train the employee. We have to educate the employee. After that, we have to bring the employee for the organization's working. Whether it is any work, whether it is technological-human interaction requirement, computer requirement or the board requirement, that will imply your target in the best way.


Hi, good afternoon. So as the lady said, the food was really good. So I have the difficult task, but I'll try not to make it very boring. So when it comes to screen age or mobile, when I was briefed on the topic, I was just reflecting on it. And one thing struck me, that when we talk mobile, mainly we talk about using mobile for a consumer. And if I tell you to reflect on one mobile campaign that you remember, all of you will probably remember some campaign targeted towards consumers. And that's why I decided to use or discuss this topic about consumer ecosystem. Now what is consumer ecosystem? All of you understand the brand, the consumers, but influencers or dealers are as important in the purchase funnel as consumers. And of course, the extent of this influence depends on the type of the category.  Once. But if you're a painter, you're doing it day in and day out. So while a lot of brands would target consumers, if you actually target an influencer, you may get a ripple benefit or amplified benefit. In a lot of categories, like medicines, OTC medicines, chemists is the influencer. So if you target the chemist rather than the consumer, again, you'll have amplified benefit. And of course, consumer is important. But the case I'm making is when you look at mobile, look at the entire consumer ecosystem and look at elements of the chain, such as influencer and dealer. And when I started putting together content for this program, I messaged a lot of my friends who are marketing ads in the best of companies and asked them one campaign that they're proud of. And all of them came with campaigns that were targeted towards consumers, which further reinforced my belief that this area of using mobile for the whole consumer ecosystem is still underexploited, right? For all of you sitting there, if I influence you a bit to think about using mobile for elements of the value chain other than consumers by the end of the presentation, I will think it will have served its purpose. Now I work for Castrol in lubricants. And of course, in our category, influencers are mechanics. I would like to showcase what we have done for mechanics, first I'll show the video and then talk a bit about it. Here's a neighborhood mechanic, a key stakeholder in our business by virtue of his ability to influence the sale. But how do you unlock his true potential? Introducing Castrol Connect, an app-based solution that changes the game in terms of how we approach mechanics, use power of data, and drive advocacy. Here's how it works. Our field team keeps scouting for mechanics. Two minutes into the conversation, and the app has smartly profiled a new member. From information about the garage, like the location, which is geotagged, to the details of the mechanic, like his contact details, everything is captured in an efficient manner. The interface is designed to make data collection easy and pleasant. An auto SMS is sent to the mechanic once the profile is created. Every new entry is validated only when the distributor and area manager approve of the same. Each mechanic now gets his own unique ID. The area manager is soon able to track the transactions done by the mechanic, like which are the top three brands he sells. This consumption data is fed back to the Salesforce CRM. Hyperlocal analysis of the data segregates the incumbents into Castrol IWS and prospects, making this system a once-stop prospecting pipeline. The power of this data can be used to drive large-scale campaigns, and the filtering mechanism helps identify and locate key mechanics by pin code enabling nano targeting. All this helps in sharper campaign execution, like our latest endeavor, India's super mechanic. This is the biggest mechanic activation, and we can find out exactly which mechanic was part of the campaign and how many interactions did the sales team have with him. Whenever the sales team member does a promotional campaign with the mechanic, he checks in, and it gets added to the individual mechanic's scorecard. So now we can track discrete campaigns at mechanic level and assess the impact of promotional campaign on sales. And we have the best-in-class security to safeguard all this data. Features like OTP-based access and secured pin login with data encryption makes it a robust system. What's more, as the app is equipped with a live chat module, our support team can instantly answer queries of the Salesforce on the move. And because of all these features, we've got a great response from our force on the field. We can run robust campaigns, drive CRM, and make a mark with the power data. And this is how Gastrol is connecting to a better future by building effective advocacy. So we have now database of more than two lakh mechanics. And what we are able to do is for any launch, any activity, we are able to target mechanics at a very, very nano level. For example, if we launch an engine oil for higher CC bikes, we know out of two lakh mechanics, which 12,000 mechanics to go to. And it has really made our campaigns very, very effective. Second thing I will talk about against staying on Gastrol is, as I said, mechanics are influencers. Now, a lot of competition started this trend of giving schemes to mechanics. And these are coupons inside the caps that when a mechanic opens the bottle, he actually takes the cap. And earlier method was a mechanic would go to the dealer to get reimbursement. A dealer would collect cap. He would send it to the distributor. A distributor would send it to the company. It was a very, very cumbersome process that would take almost two months for reimbursement. And again, in came mobile. When this idea started three years back, personally, I'd said smartphone for mobiles, maybe this will not work. But now we have this tool called Fast Can with more than one lakh mechanics using it. The process is very simple. We've developed an app. Now in association with Standard Chartered, all that the mechanics do is take the cap, scan the coupon, and get payment to their account. So we encourage mechanics to open their accounts. And they get payment directly. Every day we have one lakh transactions. So just imagine the magic that this mobile has had from a very, very cumbersome manual process to automatic process where a mechanic goes home with money every single day. Again, void transformation. The next one I'll talk about is in a Paytm. Now, when you see Paytm advertising, now a lot of this advertising is targeted towards consumers, right? But again, dealers have choice in terms of promoting different apps. And what Paytm smartly did is they actually enabled stores to promote themselves. So different customers now can have their own offers on Paytm building more traffic to certain dealers. Again, this is a great way of targeting your customers in addition to target your consumers. Next one, one of our favorite categories of course, Budweiser. Now in one of the countries, they realized that you have chillers in pubs, right? Which is where alcohol is kept. And the insight was the share of shelf or the share of chillers results into direct off takes. But the problem was one company would give chillers and pub managers would keep different brands there. So they made this tool and gave it to pub managers. And all the managers had to do was every day take a photo of the shelf and send it, right? So the company sitting in the headquarters had the ability to measure share of shelf in every pub. And that actually helped them drive the share of visibility and drive off takes. And again, great example of mobile changing the game completely. Next up, actionable. And what was the insight here? The insight was, a lot of consumers now want different colors while painting home. And about 50% of people were unhappy because they said I want this color. And finally, when their wall was painted, they said, oh, this is not good. This is not matching. This is not what I had in mind. And that resulted into loss of faith. And this company came up with a tool for painters. And this is not an Indian example, but I will play it a small video and then talk about it. Color match. All you need is the Dulux Color Sensor and a phone to match any object. Download the free Dulux Color Sensor app. Follow the instructions and the app will sync with the Dulux Color Sensor. Place the Color Sensor flat on the object to see a precise color match in seconds. Bring the color to life within the app. Apply the perfect paint color for a happy client. That feeling of a job well done. Dulux Color Sensor. Yeah, so very, very simple. Consumers say, yeah, this is my mobile pouch. I want this color at home. And this tool, using mobile, would actually help scan that color, would show the consumer what the walls will look like when painted in that color, right? And again, that resulted in increase in satisfaction with painters. The next one is again, loyalty program for dealers. And I have worked with an FMCG company for a long time. We used to have these loyalty points and loyalty program. And it was very, very difficult to administer it because it was left to the local distributors for reimbursing gifts, running the program, majoring points, and again, it was hell, right? It was prone to all kind of errors. It used to be audited a lot of time. And again, you know, mobile had changed it all. So this is an example of a very, very successful loyalty program, which really provides end-to-end visibility. So first of all, the transaction elements, like the ones I talked about based on purchase. Then there are, there is some brand content, self-learning modules, and then there are different innovative service tools, et cetera. So again, through this tool, this company is running this loyalty program. And again, you know, the way they have run it has become far, far more effective. So as I said, mobile really has the power to change your customer's business, right? So apart from consumer, I would urge you to look at all elements of the chain. And I think really two things are important. So first of all, the insight that you have about the influencer or customer has to be rooted in reality, right? So you can't sit in your office, imagine, and make up stories. It needs to be real. And second thing is a mobile app or a mobile-based system would work only if it is making a difference or if it is helping the influencer or customer simplify life or simplify business. So how do you do that? And again, this is really not rocket science. These are great basics of marketing. So I would urge you for your brands, for understanding of influencer dealers, use the simple tools, what we call a 24-hour clock, which is spending a full day with the dealer or mechanic, usage and attitude, research, and of course, mystery shopping. I find it very, very useful to actually sit at a workshop, interact with the mechanic, observe his interactions with the consumer. So that's all I had to say. I'm going to end with a video. And I talked about self-learning modules. And this is, again, a big trend for consumers as well, right? So I personally used Udemy. And I'm sure some of you would have used it. So even on your way to office, on the way back, you can do modules, right? Because that's the only time I get. These are short modules, five minutes, 10 minutes. You know, I find it very, very easy. And used us this insight. Again, we have done a campaign for one of our influencers, which is service advisors in franchise workshops. Let's have a look at the last AV. The automotive aftermarket is undergoing dramatic changes. With evolving customer expectations, acceleration of technology innovation and shifts in competitive power, car dealerships are having to work a lot harder to retain customers for longer and create new sales opportunities. Today's sales process does not end with the purchase of a car. It begins with it. 90% of customer contact takes place after the sale. This is when the majority of profit is made. With 40% of car owners less likely to buy a car of the same brand, if they're unhappy with the after sales experience, creating a good customer experience and training your staff to deliver it is more important than ever before. Traditional formal classroom training can cut into workshop productivity and is often expensive. At Castral, we understand the value of delivering a great customer experience to your business and we've worked with industry experts to create new Castral eye learning for service advisors. An innovative, intelligent, and intuitive learning management system that caters for the stop-start complexities of modern life, Castral eye learning is tailored to the role and workplace context so that service advisors can use the learnings immediately. Customer-facing staff can learn in smaller units of time using smartphones as part of their daily routine and at a time when they're ready to learn, taking advantage of micro moments such as the journey to work or gaps between appointments. Content is interactive and memorable with learnings more easily retained. Castral eye learning complements the evolving digitization of modern dealerships and shows real results quickly. The program focuses on those areas critical to improving profitability, understanding customers and their needs, managing conflict, the ABC of selling and how to create a great first impression. Interactive diagrams, multiple choice questions and video content explain and embed sales and customer experience principles so that staff can learn at their own pace. Points are awarded for successful completion of modules and results can be analyzed and measured by managers to help them coach their teams better. Modules can also be repeated at any time to improve previous scores. Castral eye learning for service advisors. Welcome to a new way of learning that helps you to maximize the potential of your people and your business revenue by delivering excellent customer experiences leading to better customer satisfaction, better retention and increased revenue for your business. To understand how Castral eye learning could benefit your business, contact your Castral business representative. So as you saw, earlier we would get all these service advisors at one location maybe once in a year and now look at the multiple possibilities that we have because they can do some short modules every day. We can understand who the most effective service advisors are and of course we can change content and this is not only in English but also in vernacular languages which makes it immensely powerful. So again, summing up, I've said this before but when you look at mobile, I think look at the whole consumer ecosystem and I think it's clearly under exploited and there is enough to be done beyond consumer as well. Thank you very much.


What combat laws did snipers observe? During World War II, there was an unwritten code of honour among snipers, not to target certain people. Shooting at nurses was highly discouraged. Snipers didn't shoot soldiers while they were relieving themselves. Another unwritten rule concerned water carriers. Opposing sides agreed not to fire on water carriers. Both the Red Army and the Germans understood perfectly well that if you shot an enemy water carrier, they would shoot yours in retaliation, which meant that everyone would suffer from thirst.


All right, thanks everybody for coming to my talk. Today I'm going to talk about good governance for open source projects. So for those of you who aren't sure why you should care, I'll start by talking about why it's important. Before moving on to setting expectations by clearly stating your mission, values, and scope, I'll talk about roles, responsibilities, processes, and procedures, along with how you can use a contributor ladder as a path to leadership. I'll also cover how corporate ownership can impact your project, and whether a foundation might or might not be a better choice for your project. And then I'll conclude with some links to resources and final thoughts. And the slides are already uploaded on schedule for those who want them. I would start by telling you a bit about me, but Anna had a fantastic introduction. So the only thing I'll add is that I spend a fair amount of time working within the CNCF contributor strategy technical advisory group as part of the governance working group, where we put together guidance and templates for CNCF projects to use. So you'll find quite a bit of the work that we've done within that group, so it's a team effort obviously, but you'll find that's for gold throughout this presentation. So a lot of people like to hate on governance. It's just extra paperwork. It's busy work. It's politicking that gets in the way of doing the real work on the project. And this could be especially true when governance is implemented and framed as a bunch of things you're not allowed to do. But this isn't true of good governance, which is really about alignment and getting all of the various people within your community collaborating together. Governance is also one of those things that you may think you don't need until you realize you do. But by that time, it's too late because something's already gone wrong, expectations aren't aligned, and you're probably seeing some unhealthy dynamics within the community. Governance helps outline the expectations around roles and responsibilities along with decision-making processes. So it's important to have at least these basics in place early. Now governance can be found in all open source projects in one form or another to specify the processes for how people work together within the project. Now ideally, it will be clearly documented and explicit, but for some projects, especially maybe the smaller ones, it might be a bit more ad hoc and informal. Ultimately, the focus of open source project governance is on people. The roles we play are responsibilities, how we make decisions, what we should expect from each other as a part of participating in the community. It's usually easier to set expectations up front rather than realizing later that various people have very different expectations, which can take a lot of time and energy to sort out after the fact. Now, this does not mean that you need to specify everything up front, and I would discourage you from over-engineering your governance processes before you need them. A project with only a couple of people will not need elaborate elections to select leaders, right? But you should probably define a few basic roles, define the process for contributing to your project, and how decisions about those contributions are going to be made. The goal should be to make the processes for participation as obvious as possible, even for people who are brand new to the community. Having clear rules about how collaboration occurs and how decisions are made helps community members make contributions that are more likely to be accepted and embraced by the project. A healthy project with clear governance makes contributors happy, and it helps set your project up for future growth and long-term success. Now, I suspect that some of you are still thinking that you probably don't need to spend time documenting governance, but think about this from the perspective of the new contributor. It's much more difficult to participate in a community if you don't know anything about the role you might play, the expectations, the key players, the rules for participating, explicit documented governance gives new and existing contributors a clear path to help guide them through your project. When I start contributing to a new open source project, I want to know how decisions are made and who makes those decisions, which helps me understand whether decisions are made fairly based on solid information with the involvement of the people with the right expertise to make those decisions. I also want to see a clear path into leadership, either for me or maybe for my colleagues at the company if we decide to embrace the project over the long term. Undocumented or vague governance creates an unhealthy dynamic within open source communities. What happens when a decision seems unbear or technically questionable and it's not clear who makes the decision or where to escalate it? This leaves community members frustrated and can cause people to lose respect for the project or the people running it, which can lead to projects becoming unviable if this dynamic continues and people aren't interested in participating. I was involved in a project recently that refused to put any sort of real governance in place. The community dynamic was fairly toxic with epic levels of bike shedding on topics even tangentially related to governance and it sucked. I hated the time I had to spend in that community and these governance issues are usually a sign of other issues in the project and that's the sultry for that project as well. But the end result is that we're recommending that our project teams, product teams, avoid this project if they possibly can. Now the bottom line is that if the processes for collaboration and decision making are not clearly documented as part of the project governance, it introduces a lot of uncertainty into the mix and it increases the barriers to contribution while jeopardizing the health and viability of that project. One way you can set expectations is being clear about the mission, values, scope for the project to avoid misunderstandings later and in general you can sort of think about these things as a project charter even though in reality most open source projects don't actually label them as a charter. You should also plan for your mission, scope and values to evolve over time as your project grows and changes. Now the link on the slide talks more about each of these pieces with some examples from CNCF projects to get you started but I'll give you a quick intro on each one. So in most open source projects there probably isn't anything that's labeled as a mission statement but there's usually something that talks about the purpose, the advantages, the key features for your project. It's usually a couple of sentences near the top of the readme file that helps people understand what your project does and why your project is important or useful and it usually includes a mention of at least a couple of key features. Now this information helps people who are coming to your project for the first time to get a quick summary and this is where they can learn more about your project and whether it might be a good fit for their needs. So I usually recommend that this information be in the first paragraph of your readme where people can really easily find it. The project scope is one of those things that I think is too often overlooked in open source projects and it is really important. This is where you can be really clear about what your project does and just as importantly what it does not do so that you can set expectations and help avoid misunderstandings. This can help avoid situations where a new user or contributor starts using your project under the assumption that they can contribute some feature that they need and then they realize that that feature is going to be out of scope possibly for very good architectural or strategic reasons but you could have saved them some time by documenting your scope in the first place. For small or immature projects you could just have a couple of sentences in your readme that talk about scope. For large or complex projects you might want to have a whole separate scope document linked from your readme with details about what functionality or features are in scope or out of scope along with details about why. Now the scope documentation should cover what your project does or does not do while your values or principles help people understand how you work as a project and as a community. These can live in your readme file the governance documentation or a standalone document linked from your readme and governance and I've included a few examples on the slide that are commonly used in open source projects but this you know these are not a one-fits size fits all approach. They need to be customized to reflect how you work within your project and they should be realistic and achievable. If you can't actually live up to the values or principles documented for your project you're setting yourself up for misunderstandings and for disappointed community members. Now I mentioned earlier that governance is about people. Defining the roles and responsibilities for the people in your project is an important part of governance along with defining the processes and procedures that drive the work. There are a few documents that every project even the small ones should have open source projects need appropriate licensing documentation including possibly things like a notices file or licensed headers within the source file. You should also have a code of conduct that people can easily find with details about how to report incidents along with the consequences of violating the code of conduct. Sometimes people who are new to doing this can find it intimidating because they think it's something they need to write from scratch but I would encourage you just to use something like the contributor component for example which can be simply copied and added to your repository. The bit that you do need to spend time on is making sure that you have a plan for enforcing it. You'll need to nominate a couple of people who are going to be responsible for taking reports of violations and handling those reports responsibly. The contributor covenant page has loads of details and links to resources for how to do that. Your contribution documents should provide enough details about the contribution process that someone who is brand new to the project can make their very first contribution. This includes details about contributor license agreements maybe a developer's certificate of origin process and you'll want to make sure that your contributors know what to expect and how to navigate the project when making contributions. The communication processes should also be clearly defined so that people know where and how to communicate within your project. Maybe you prefer mailing list discussions or Slack messages or issues for feature requests. Maybe you have separate communication channels for users and developers. Make sure that everyone understands how people within the project communicate with each other to avoid a frustrating experience both for new and your existing contributors. Projects should also document the processes for reporting and responding to security issues. Projects that take a proactive approach to addressing security issues and releasing fixes are a lot more likely to be secure. You should also be using some automated tools like dependabot to help identify when new versions of dependencies are available. And while there are no guarantees and critical security issues can pop up at any time but taking a proactive approach reduces the likelihood of having security issues that will be exploited later. The project should have some sort of security.md file or other document with details about the process for reporting and responding to security concerns. At a minimum you want to have a way for people to privately report security issues and have a few people who are designated to handle those issues. Project leadership is one of the key elements of good governance. So you should have some kind of documentation about your leadership. For small projects maybe you just need a list of maintainers that indicates which people are responsible for which areas within the project. Defining the roles and responsibilities for contributors reviewers and maintainers is probably enough as a first step which can help with recruiting people into these roles. It can help to think about this as a ladder a contribution ladder where contributors can climb up to become reviewers and those reviewers can become maintainers. And what's important is to document and make sure that people understand how they can climb this ladder and gain more responsibility within the project. Now for bigger projects you want to have more details about the specific responsibilities for each leadership role along with how people can move into those positions. You might have committees working groups special interest groups that need leaders and having this document helps you document it helps you recruit new leaders and grow the project. And there are quite a few different options for selecting leaders as part of defining your governance. And the ideal is to have a process that provides a fair and level playing field that defines how contributors become leaders. This should be documented so that participants can clearly understand the criteria and the process for moving into leadership positions. Most of the bigger projects like Kubernetes for example have an election process at least for the very top levels of leadership like the steering committee. At lower levels of leadership many projects have a process where existing leaders select the new leaders. For example new maintainers are often nominated by existing maintainers and then approved after a certain number of maintainers agree or sometimes it requires a vote by maintainers. And there are loads of different options for doing this so there's a link at the bottom of the slide which has a lot more detail about leadership selection for governance. Now your project governance should be designed to keep diversity equity and inclusion top of mind. Building a diverse community where all people feel welcome and included does not just happen it requires putting work and thought into it and when you're starting a project and thinking about governance this is a good time to do this. Providing an environment where everyone including people from marginalized populations feels safe is the first step toward building a diverse community around your project. You should also look at whether you have a diverse set of people at every level within your project but especially in the leadership positions and if not come up with programs that help the underrepresented folks get involved and then move up within your project. Ideally having programs that give opportunities for shadowing mentoring and allowing other people to sponsor new potential leaders can help you grow a diverse set of people into leaders for with your project. The contributor experiencing for Kubernetes is a great place to start. They've got some great programs in place so it's a pretty good example but projects that make a concerted effort to bring in new people from a variety of backgrounds and have programs in place to help them grow into leadership positions are more likely to benefit from increased innovation and have a healthier community and DEI is something that's kind of hard to measure but I've included a link at the bottom to the chaos metrics because we've defined defined a whole bunch of metrics to help people measure whether communities are diverse and inclusive. An important aspect of governance is ownership or control over the open source project and the community. Projects that are owned by foundations and ones that are controlled by an individual company can have very different dynamics. Open source projects that are controlled by a single company can be a concern for outside contributors because they operated the whims of that company and there's little recourse for those of us on the outside when that company decides to go in a direction that doesn't align with the expectations of the other participants within the community and this is why governance documentation is particularly important for these projects. If the project is truly open the governance should specify how people can move into leadership positions with the assumption that you'll eventually have maintainers from outside of your company. On the flip side if you have no intention of allowing people from outside of your company to move into leadership positions or make decisions then you should just be clear about that. While it's not ideal I do have a lot more respect for companies and projects who are honest about how others can participate than the ones that claim to be open while still actually making all of the decisions behind the closed doors of their company. Now on the other hand we have foundations for open source projects. These foundations provide a lot of things like advocacy and marketing ownership of assets and other activities to help the project be successful which all impacts governance. Now not all foundations are created equal and some are better than others so Apache Software Foundation, Eclipse, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, the Linux Foundation are examples of well-run neutral foundations and with neutral foundations your projects and users get access to more innovation from a diverse group of contributors while also reducing vendor lock-in. If you think about Kubernetes users of Kubernetes can consume enterprise versions from a wide variety of vendors that can run on any of the leading cloud providers and as a software vendor like VMware we can contribute to foundation driven projects with the confidence that no one company is in control of the project and that we can contribute as equals within the community. One of the reasons that Kubernetes has been so successful is because it was contributed to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation which provided a level playing field where people from a whole bunch of different companies could work together as equals to create something that benefited the entire ecosystem. Now at VMware we believe that contributing open source projects to neutral foundations is important and it's something that we do regularly for projects that we've started once they start to gain a bit of traction with people outside of the company. For example, we've contributed Harbor and Contour to the CNCF. We've also contributed projects to the Apache Software Foundation. We've contributed projects to other foundations like for example we contributed Turn to the Linux Foundation's Automated Compliance Tooling Project. Now the challenge with contributing open source projects to foundations is that you also give up some control to the foundation. Typically the projects trademark, repositories, websites and other assets are usually transferred entirely to the foundation. Now existing maintainers and leaders will usually keep their positions. However, neutral foundations so the CNCF in particular often make sure that governance is set up in a way that makes it easy for people from other companies to participate and eventually move into leadership positions. So as they contribute in company you should expect some leadership positions to eventually transition to people from other companies over the longer term. While this does mean giving up some control over the project there are a lot of benefits. There are advantages around community building, innovation, wider adoption and it's something that you should at least consider for some of your open source projects. Putting your project under a neutral foundation gives other companies more confidence that they can contribute as equals. It's also important to think about when your project might be ready to contribute to a foundation. If your project is very immature foundations are probably not likely to be interested in your project whereas a project with some users and that's starting to get some good traction that just needs some help maybe moving up to the next level would be much more likely to be accepted by a foundation. Now however we all need to remember that contributing a project to a foundation is an ongoing commitment. It is not an exit strategy and we need to be prepared to provide staff and other support over both the short and the long term just like we would for any product or any open source project that we weren't contributing to a foundation. Governance is one of those things that is never really finished. We work in a space with constant change technologies change strategies change the way we work changes everything changes and our governance needs to evolve right along with those changes in particular as open source projects become more mature and grow what they need from governance will change dramatically. The governance processes that you need when you only have a couple of maintainers is going to be insufficient if the project grows dramatically and as your project projects evolve your governance should evolve along with them and this might mean thinking about contributing your projects to foundations as they evolve. I have links to resources which are you can find in the slides on sketch. So one final well a few final thoughts there are so many aspects of good governance for open source projects. I only had time to talk in detail about the ones that I think are the most important but taking a step back and looking at the big picture what I have here on the slide is the common theme that drives why I think governance as a whole is so important. Governance provides a framework for setting expectations for roles responsibilities and how people within your project should behave by clearly documenting these expectations you reduce uncertainty and make it easier for people to know how to participate in your project the more you can do to help everyone participate in meaningful ways the more welcome people will feel within your open source community. With that thank you for coming to my talk and I will open it up for questions. I know I'm a little over time and I'm standing between y'all and lunch but are there any questions? No people are just really hungry I'm pretty hungry too not gonna lie okay no questions but I will be around the whole rest of the day so feel free to track me down later. Yeah thanks thank you so much


I'm going to use this filly here to talk a little bit about how I get a horse to find the turn around and there's just a few body parts on these younger horses that I like to be able to separate so I can control those parts and I can help them find that turn around. I like to be able to have control of the hind end and the rib and the shoulders and then I want to be able to have control of their head and neck independent to their body so you know if I keep in mind like younger horse, green horse, if I can keep continually breaking down those parts and keep control of those parts it's really easy to build on getting the pattern that I want before we go to work and care. So you know the first thing I want to be able to do to find that turn around is be able to isolate their head and their neck. So if I want to get out of this man, if she's moving her feet, my feet are telling her to move her feet so she should be still and if she doesn't want to be still I'm just going to let her fight her own movement there until she slows down and she doesn't need to stop all the way, this man's kind of hot but if she gets softness in her body I'm going to give it to her just enough to where she relaxes. It's fun for me at this stage to see what a horse's natural connection is to movement and if they have a good natural connection to movement this man's never worked flag before like I say she's had week 10 days riding and I want to see if she has enough connection and enough care about that movement. If I put her in the right position I want to see if that will help me teach her to get stopped and get turned around.


Ukrainian forces near Avdivka shoot down 8th Su-25 in a month. The Ukrainian Defence Forces shot down another Russian Su-25 aircraft in the Avdivka direction state spokesperson of Tavriya Oleksandr Stupun in a comment to RBC Ukraine. According to him, the defenders managed to destroy the Su-25 attack aircraft. However, the weapon used to hit the enemy's aerial target is currently not specified. Stupun notes that this is the 8th destroyed Russian aircraft in the Avdivka direction since October 10, 2023. It was then that the Russian Federation began active combat actions and an offensive in this direction. In October, Russian occupiers intensified their offensive on Avdivka. The enemy shelled the city and neighbouring settlements. Recently, the general staff reported that in the Avdivka area, the Russians, with the support of aviation, continued assaults to encircle the city. British intelligence indicates that up to 8 brigades were deployed near Avdivka, resulting in significant losses, possibly amongst the highest of Russian troops in 2023. Earlier, the head of Avdivka's military civil administration expressed the opinion that Russian forces were most likely ready for the third wave of the city's assault, but weather conditions prevented them from using equipment.


My name is Nancy Eisen. I'm the Gun Family Chief Curator at the Bounds Foundation. Now you're with me in my apartment today because the Bounds Foundation is closed, like most places. But I wanted to share with you a picture which I really love because it reminds me of travel and I'm sure that most of us at the moment are really missing that. It's a painting that Picasso made in 1906 and it's in Gallery 1 of the Foundation. It's one of the first things that you see. Really, this is one of the most spectacular places in the gallery. And I want to focus right in on a canvas which you just get a glimpse of to your right. So here we have it. Now this is a work that Picasso made just after he'd been on vacation. He went to a little mountain town called Gossel, and really this was quite a special trip. Picasso had been born in Malaga in 1881, so he was Spanish. And by this time he had settled in Paris, which was a great city if you're an artist. Now in Paris he lived in a set of studios called the Bateau Levoir, which translates as the Laundry Boat. It was a very funny building in the district of Montmartre and lots of artists lived there, lots of writers too. And one of the figures that he met there was a woman called Fernand Olivier. The two of them met in 1904 and they became lovers. And really by this time they're in quite a serious relationship. This is 1906 and Picasso decides to take Fernand Olivier to Spain. The two of them end up in Barcelona, which Picasso knows well. And from there they take a train to Gossel. I say that they took a train, but really it wasn't quite that simple. You had to take a train, but then you had to take a mule ride. Fernand Olivier, who was very much a city girl, describes in her memoirs an eight hour mule ride to get to this place. And really she wasn't prepared to be enchanted by it and yet she ended up being. It was really a wonderful place to be. Gossel is still a very small mountain town. It actually has less people living in it now than it did when Picasso went there. In 1906 it had less than a thousand inhabitants and it had one in. And that's where Picasso and Fernand Olivier stayed. And Fernand Olivier just remembers that Picasso was enchanted by what he saw by a rural way of life, by the fact that he could speak Catalan. He was a Spanish speaker, but he knew some Catalan and he had a chance to practice it. And he was also interested in this period in Iberian art, so ancient Mediterranean art. And all of this seems to be at work in this painting, which he probably made once they got back to Paris. I want to focus in on a few details of the picture, so let's just go in close here. The first that I want to draw your attention to is the female figure. Now, like most of the women that appear in Picasso's pictures at this time, this woman is loosely based on Fernand Olivier. Now I say loosely based because we know that Fernand Olivier had urban hair and she had green eyes. And as you can see quite clearly what we have here is a woman with tightly coiled black hair and very, very stylized features. Another thing that I'd like to show you is the way in which Picasso paints the flowers at the top of the canvas. And really here I think it's a reminder of why Picasso had come to Paris. He knew the Impressionist painters, he knew the work of Renoir and Monet. And here you get a sense of that influence coming through the little flashes of color, this very free and vibrant brushwork. And really it's such a beautiful part of the image, just such an abundance of color. Now there's quite a contrast in the handling of that part of the picture. And if you like the main focus of the image, this very sturdy male figure. Now here I think in a way you get a sense that there's a real monumentality to this body.  Very audacious stripes of white paint there and really just these angles that give you a sense of folds of cotton or linen. And for me this is a reminder that just a few years after he made this painting, Picasso along with his friend Georges Braque would be inventing a new style of painting that we know is cubism.  So if you think about the memories that we might have of our holidays or our vacations, it isn't just something that's flat and still that looks like a person or a place. It's actually a whole host of memories of things seen from all angles, of things experienced from all angles. And here I think you get a sense of fabric billowing of the way in which a sleeve might have been rolled up and the way in which these actions create reactions. There's also a wonderful sense of colour contrast in this painting. And I want to draw your attention here to this brilliant gold colour just behind the head of the oxen and the blue and pink, if you like, of the sky. This is very much a painting that creates feelings and associations. It isn't a literal landscape. And that becomes very, very apparent when you become focused on the foot of the canvas there. This shadow that the oxen casts is just a patch of red. And again, this reminds us that Picasso had known many 19th-century styles. Artists like Gauguin, who you can see in the Barnes Foundation, were also using these methods to create a different kind of painting that was unashamed of the fact that the painting is something that isn't enslaved to representation. So, as you're stuck at home and thinking about where you might like to go next, I hope that talking about Picasso's 1906 painting, The Peasants, has given you some nice memories of your own trips and perhaps some inspiration of where to go next. You never know. Please do tune in again. There'll be more Barnes Takeout tomorrow. Thank you very much.


What's up everyone welcome to a brand new sweet film podcast my name is Zach and my name is Cody And today we got a very special show for you guys today today. We're talking about Imagine if the Oscars were tomorrow the nominations were already out But tomorrow is the Oscars and every film that's come out so far was eligible for nominations I mean Cody wanted to discuss which films we think should be nominated for best picture as of right now We're not going into Bohemian Rhapsody first man We haven't seen those yet, but any film that me and him have seen we've compiled a list of our own 10 best picture nominations Best actor best actress supporting actors supporting actress director screenplay and cinematographer Those are the ones that we're going to be talking about those are the only Categories when we talk about we know there's a ton of other ones But if we did animation obviously incredible stew would be like the only one because there's not really that much animation out this year And so yeah, so this will be fun and just so everyone knows this is gonna be a three-part Kind of thing So we'll do another one of these in around probably november or december talking about what we think will actually be nominated This is more of just fun. But what will actually be nominated for the Oscars? Um, because then by them we've already seen first man star is born Bohemian Rhapsody and then there will be other films that we won't see until January But then we can actually make our legit predictions And then in February or whenever they announce the nominations We'll do another podcast discussing each and every category in Detail except the categories. I'm sorry that we just don't know much about like short documentaries I mean, there's nothing wrong with them But we don't know much about them and that'll be that'll be really interesting because the third part of this will actually be Up while we're getting ready to do the second sweet film awards. So that's gonna be I mean, that's gonna be interesting to because we'll be able to do some compare contrast with what we're doing with the sweet film awards and what we're doing with the Oscars And yeah, this is gonna be a whole lot of fun. And I can't wait to get so first off. Cody How are you doing today? I have not asked you this in a while. So how are you doing? We just go straight in Yeah, no, I was gonna ask you that Life is good. Life is fantastic. I'm getting my first vacation that I've had it In a long time from work taking a little break from youtube So I can rest up because it's been like four months of seven videos a week just non-stop And I need a little mental break, but you know, it's fantastic and I mean honestly My week has just kind of been average besides the fact that I'm excited for future plans and future projects and all that other good stuff, but How are you doing Zach?  I'm tired, but I'm ready to talk about this. Yeah, because I literally woke up 20 minutes ago And if for anyone, I'm not enjoying it. It's 7 20 a.m. Where I'm filming right now. And what is it? What time is it where you're at? Yeah, it's 10 20 here in Maine. See my point exactly. Um, but guys, I also want to do mention kody. Have you ever seen the killing of a sacred deer? Yes, I I I've seen it a couple of times It was didn't make it into my top 10 films of last year, but I I thought it was a good one. I would have seen it last year because I finally watched it for the first time two nights ago And I had nightmares like that film is Disturbing Is it her reticillary level disturbing hereditary? It was just the reason I nightmares is because it's just so messed up I loved killing of a sacred deer. I think it's a horror thriller masterpiece I No, literally I like I I'm not gonna do a review for it. So I'll just do it on here.  It's our pocket I don't really want to go with spoilers with it because I think it's a film that it's better not to know anything about But I feel like the tone and feeling of that movie is the shining. It's like a modern day shining 100 score The um eeriness I mean that whole the ending is like It's just there's so much to dissect about that film And I love the lobster and I love bear tooth. We've never seen bear tooth by the guy. It's like just as insane But I think this is his best film to date Just for the fact of like I think his wooden dialogue and how he gets people to be so wooden Fit the tone of his film, but it's just man, dude There's always something off with that film since the second and over And did you know that you know that when they're doing surgery in the beginning That's an actual heart surgery going on.   Yeah, it it completely and utterly is do I think I mean everybody knows that you and I both really enjoyed hereditary and I still think hereditary as an overall Film is better, but killing of a sacred deer is Yeah, the movie is it's great in in One of the most disturbing things I've seen since this year with hereditary. It's Yeah, it's good. I agree. It's excellent. It's right up there. It's still a full It's weird though because it's not like a full horror film Like it isn't it isn't it's more of a drama, but I guess same as hereditary hereditary is kind of the same way So I don't know but maybe we'll both mention hereditary as we're talking about our films So, yeah, buddy. I want you to tell me your first your 10 best picture nominations Okay, so any honorable mentions you would have had okay, so for So for honorable mentions, well, actually no, I guess it's all included I don't actually have any honorable mentioned which just a disclaimer for you guys I haven't seen as many films as Zach has seen And so I'm only listing the films for all the nominations what we're talking about here With the films that I have seen so the nine films that I the 10 films rather I do have on my Best picture list is number one is black clansman Without a doubt Two is sorry to bother you three is leave no trace four is eighth grade Five is mission impossible fallout because the way I see it You know, it's like we've all been saying if mad max fury road can get a nomination for best picture There's no reason that mission impossible fallout shouldn't Next is a quiet place hereditary Tully annihilation and last is sicario day of the soldado Okay solid. There's something that that I didn't pick either Um, so I'll do mine now. Um mine is leave no trace Won't you be my neighbor? The wife Which is a film that I've been like praising like if you the wife comes out this weekend like go do it theater near you first reformed Black clansman mission impossible fallout eighth grade hereditary A quiet place You were really never here and my two honorable mentions would be black panther and the little stranger And I almost and I will say I almost put avengers in there because of the fact of how much that film has like put together But I think overall like when looking at black panther and avengers black panther is a better structured film than avengers Because just from story wise but so yeah, um But overall like was there anything on my list that like you thought was weird because I I almost put sorry to bother you too, but The ending I I can't I I can't with that ending Yeah, no, I completely understand and just as a reminder guys The way we're doing these lists is if the Oscars were coming out tomorrow as our predictions essentially But I put sorry to bother you because honestly I understand the ending is the ending is just bizarre and strangely weird and I know personally I didn't like it but generally when it comes to the Oscars I find that they tend to They tend to steer more towards with what the critics are saying and Sorry to bother you still has like a 97 percent on rotten tomatoes or something like that How do 97 people? Like it's just crazy to me. Yeah Yeah, I I really just I don't get it either the ending is just super bizarre and out there and weird It's just it's just over to the top and for me personally It's like I said the more I actually thought about the third act of the movie. I hate it It's the thing that bogs the movie down for me because it's just not necessary No, but but other than that. I mean I can I can agree only horse penis, right? No, I don't like horse penis and that was a running gag in the movie that just Did not work for me. I thought it was hilarious. I just like This isn't what the film was going for. It was like completely out of left field You want to film that as a better version of sorry to bother you? I think that But I think that black clansmen and get out did that message that sorry to bother you was doing a lot better I I will agree that they did them better But I'll say I probably enjoyed sorry to bother you more than black clansmen Okay, well, I really liked black clansmen I I felt like the ending for that one did the same thing it deteriorated What it was going for and now some people don't have an issue with that which I totally understand I just as a personal person who watches film I hate when they do stuff like what they did in the back the back end of black clansmen I didn't think it was needed at all So um, but for me out of my list the one I think would win like if the Oscars are tomorrow Hands down would either be black clansmen Or a quiet place What about you? I have to agree with you on that one I I really do have to agree with you I think mission impossible would be you could probably make an argument for mission impossible too Yeah, the reason I say black clansmen as of right now Everyone is talking about black clansmen everyone and same with a quiet place Everyone was talking about a quiet place at that point in time So I mean eighth grade would probably be a good container, but leave no trace is such a small film Like it's not even gonna get looked at which sucks.  I don't think it's just the wife. I also think Leave no trace is also going to be one of those movies like the wife where it's a fantastic movie that should be nominated for best picture Which leave no trace completely should it's not going to be I'll be sharp like I really hope the studio pushes more on leave no trace this year out of any film because that film was wonderful It was wonderful Yeah, yeah, unfortunately though. It it's like with our last posse Podcast you me and j we all agreed that the fact we all love to leave no trace It's just nobody's talking about it. Yeah, no one is even though it has like a hundred percent on rotten tomatoes Yeah, so the film lovers saw it and nobody else did Did the film lovers really see it though? Did the film lovers really see it? Because I would I would make an argument that a majority of even film lovers have not seen this film You know, that's actually a really good point because Oh Film lovers at one point or another. I am sure have said they've seen a movie when they actually haven't to try to fit in But uh real fast. Let's get into our next category and that is for best actor best actor, man Do you want to start with us? Yeah, and for this one like I said going off of the fact that I'm only going off of films that I have seen I only have three and it's ben foster for leave no trace John uh, john david washington for black clansman and john krasinski for a quiet place Good choices. I almost had John krasinski in there. Um, I do have john david washington, which I he's really good He's so good in black clansman. He is like probably the most him and adam driver probably the best parts Um discretion though. I do not have ben foster Actor I haven't been supporting but there could be an argument for either one So I put him in yeah, but there could be an argument for either one Um, so my I'm surprised you didn't put you and migregor for christopher robin Well, I thought he was great But as far as the oscars are concerned, do I think he would be awesome? You could do whatever you want. Yeah, I'll have fun. I'll put it down right now. You're fine I'll put you and migregor just to make my list four instead of three. There we go. What about josh roland for thanos? he's uh Oh look, I understand that these are a list but I'm going off of the fact I'm trying to treat this as oscar Hype as I can. Okay. So my my well, dude, it's it's it's the oscars are tomorrow So I'm going with the whatever's best. You know what I mean like, okay That's all I did. Yeah, but you do that fun Yeah, that's actually a really good point. So, okay, put josh roland in for best actor too So I do not have josh roland and I have john david washington For black clansmen. Let me say it like how they do in the oscars walking phoenix for you were really never here Ethan hawk for first reformed and they're gonna show a little scene with him Logan marshal green for upgrade It was good. It was really good.  Those are right. It's it just went on vod. Yeah See, okay. I'm gonna have to check it out honorable mention check it out. Ian McGregor Even McGregor Ian McGregor McGregor My name's Ian McGregor All right. So to be honest out of all these My personal pick would be walking phoenix because the guy gave two Fantastic performances this year and you were really never here and don't worry. He won't get too far on foot What about you? Who would you give it to? Um, as far as as far as the ones that I've got I would I would give the performance to To ben foster above every other person I had on my list But like I said, I haven't seen first reformed or he was never really there So I can't really speak to those although I do want to check them out. Unfortunately. They didn't come out in my area Which is a first reform comes out on I think first reforms on vod too I got a lot of catching up to do that's what I've learned. Yeah I'm pretty sure first reformed is either on vod because it's coming out on blu-ray in like two weeks Or it might be coming out today. I'm not sure but I'm like pretty sure that like first reforms out there now They're like it's easier to find Okay, well as far as Yeah, so that that's my win and honestly, I can't argue with that. Joaquin phoenix literally every performance The guy has done is masterful. He is one of the best ever I mean As far as someone who goes method and everything honestly He reminds me of just a slight variation of a uh, Daniel day lewis type of an actor That's kind of what walking phoenix reminds me of because his caliber of actor The way he does things it's right up there with daniel day lewis as far as i'm concerned.  That's why i'm so excited to see him as the joker Um, I'm hoping though with the joker film. I hope they don't go in this predictable route Where he's not the joker in the film yet and then at the end It's like then he turns in the joker because I think it would have been a better twist if we didn't know It was a joker film, you know what I mean? Yeah, honestly, I hope they I hope they go into the route where you're saying he is the joker, but it's You know, it's more along the lines of if we get a story where Our point of view is not from the joker But our point of view as an audience member is someone who goes along with the joker Like a taxi driver or one of his well, I think he will be I think he will be the joker I I I think it'll be from his point of view But i'm curious if it's like before During or after like that that's Because like zazzy beats is playing his wife in it And that's where i'm coming And robert deniro is rumored to actually be in the joker film too.   No Just saying he did dirty grandpa I'm saying okay, even if Robert deniro doesn't do anything for you I'm just saying that robert deniro in his past was a phenomenal actor And that's the interesting thing for me because even with all the stuff that he's done I never in a million years the guy who is in the godfather The guy that was also in taxi driver the guy that was in silverlang's playbook I never thought robert deniro would be one of those actors who would get on board to do a comic book movie I never thought he would Robert redford too when he did winter soldier Yeah, and uh, I mean it's It's crazy and But i mean it's insane. Do you want to tell me about your best actresses? Yes, I certainly will so for best actresses for me right now. It's tony collette for hereditary charlie starin for tully emily blunt for a quiet place natalie portman for annihilation and then jennifer lorenz for for a red sparrow Okay I have glen clothes for the wife Who in my opinion would win this award? charlie sarone for tully thomason mckenzie for actress I I put her as top. I thought she was the main character, but I mean Oh, we'll have that. We'll have i mean you can flip flop it. You know what? I mean you can flip flop it Yeah, tony collette and jennifer lorenz. Now. I want to give my honorable mentions Okay, emily blunt lily james for mama mia too And the last one I want everyone to listen to this because this is seriously one of the best performances of the year Okay, I don't think the movie is that good But her performance in it was a fan was fantastic And I really do mean this her performance was fantastic and this is a hard performance to do Amy schumer for i feel pretty Never saw the movie so I can't speak to it. Okay, I'm just saying like I'm just like saying like seriously like if anyone like disgraces that performance like She takes a really hard role to do and she does a body shaming thing where like it's literally shaming her own body herself And she tackles that and tackles it. That's hard as any actress to do So I I think she would deserve a nomination I don't think like the performance was the best thing ever, but I think that like she goes in a different route So I kind of like that and she still did her own shtick, but uh glen closer, uh, tony collette would be my pick Yeah, out of the list of people I've got it would be tony collette tony and I I haven't seen the wife So I can't speak to glen closes performance. I I'm sure it's phenomenal But tony collette what she was able to do in hereditary I mean everybody even now, you know, even though we're doing this podcast about the oscars being tomorrow The fact of the matter is everybody Even if people across the board don't really enjoy hereditary Everybody agrees that tony collette should be in talks for the oscars next year still After what it's been almost sucks. I don't think she will I don't think she'll get nominated Yeah, which it's awful, but tony collette She was great. I mean this year she gave two she's given two really good performances as well Just like walking phoenix. She gave a great performance in Heart speed loud and then she gave I forgot she was in that. Yeah Very different performances even though the film was very cliche. I liked her. Yeah Yeah, but then She was the best part of hereditary which is important because she is the main She gives the main performance in hereditary But yeah, but yeah across the board emily blunt phenomenal in a quiet place charlie starin Tully tully the third act was okay, but across the board once again charlie starin is what makes that movie Same thing means so much weight for that role, which I love when actors like go that route It's true. And then jennifer lorenz in red sparrow Honestly, i'm kind of glad that jennifer lorenz is getting away from the whole superhero x-men genre all of that stuff because the performances she's given between mother last year and red sparrow uh in This year are two of my favorite performances that she's ever done I still think her best performance is silver linings playbook. I don't think anything will overbeat that I completely forgot about that.  I still think that's her best performance today That film is so it's I think that film is so great I love it. I love that movie. But uh, cody supporting actor go ahead and say it Okay, best supporting actor for me it goes Uh, I have two from black clansman actually one is adam driver And you have okay, and the other one is jasper poconan He is a finish actor And humor the main really obnoxiously pretty much a modern day version of michael boss bender in black clansman That guy. Oh That's a good choice. I thought you're gonna do um, david duke.  Yeah Yeah, no, I like topper grace but for me One of the performances that overly made the movie for me because if you're going to portray The these racist coup clux clan Members as civilized and all that you need to have a wild card in there and jasper poconan as As this really over-the-top backwards redneck racist hippie His performance was scary. Like I said, it reminded me of of what michael Fossbender did in 12 years a slave except in modern day. He was really he was really good in there and then uh next three is Uh, it's either nat or nate wolf for hereditary. Why?  No, no This take the cry out of it. No, I I thought he was Okay, his stairs and like he was good at times, but I didn't Like I thought he was a good I don't know like I'm very torn on his performance because I think there were some excellent parts and there were some really Moments that didn't work. Okay, you know what fine, you know, I'll replace him and I'll have three for black clansman because This is actually you brought up the fact of one thing. I wanted to do anyways, which is tofer grace as david duke Okay, next up for me is josh brolin in Sicario day of the soldado I thought he was phenomenal in there and then last for me is joel egerton in red sparrow Oh, yeah, I forgot he was in there Yeah, dude one. So let me reiterate adam driver Jasper paconin Tofer grace for black clansman and then josh brolin for sicario two and joel egerton for red sparrow But what is he didn't mention one that i'm about to say? Okay, i'm probably gonna scream like I do at all these other lists if I go for so I did put ben foster. We already know this Yeah, yeah adam driver Jonah hill for don't worry. He won't get far and for it's his best performance. He's ever done jonathan price from the wife And last but not least michael b jordan for black panther Easily one of the best performances of this year I would hands down and say that the fact that the guy made me actually Root for his character in a sense even though he is a villain I had to put him up there. I think he Because if any other actor was in that role that role would have been mediocre And I mean that and not wrong the script, but I just there wasn't enough To the character that's the truth. They're what you don't see a lot of him As much as I would thought there should have been more of him so michael b jordan Okay, michael b jordan. Well, you certainly have a great list there once again He won't get too far on foot didn't come out in my area.  It's hard for me to say who would actually win but I put it between I think adam driver Yeah, I put it between adam driver and jasper Poconen for their performances Is like I said number one opponent is an extremely Rare talent. I mean as far as I know everything he's done beforehand has been all Finish and foreign films that kind of stuff and this is his first really big American film First American film as far as I'm aware and he blew it out of a water. He was phenomenal So it either be between adam driver or yeah, jasper poconen Who would you have went on your list? um I'd probably have I mean, I'd probably pick ben foster But yeah, that's kind of a debate.  Do you want to say yours? Yeah, and first up my number one We already said that you could probably flip-flop these because of the movie about my best supporting actress Number one is thomas in mackenzie.  What else did I have lapito no Lapito nuongo for black panther.  Let me guess your next one.  I'm saying that you're nominating and probably a trash can next right?  No, it's it's not hot. What is stop it Okay First I just got a let's see here.  Did I not Just say what it's from Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm trying to remember. I don't think I wrote it down. Millicent.  Well, that's it Those are my three. Okay, so let me do mine while he's Looking up his because I'm Unprofessional Mackenzie david from telly Tessa Thompson, sorry to bother you Laura Herr from black clansmen Amanda cyphery first reformed and my love rachel mcadams for game night And that's who she is What's she from? A quiet place Okay, so that's who he picked If I were to pick from my list though, I would probably give it to either Mackenzie david for telly or I'd probably say rachel mcadams for game night I think she was so good in game night. I think that's like a melissa mccarthy type of nomination Yeah, no rachel maya game night. Let's just talk about game night because game night is The best comedy in the last since I mean last year's girl strip Yeah, no, it's great. It's It's crazy how good because not the people weren't expecting much out of game night and it came out And people loved it when they first saw it and then as time has gone on people keep saying how much they love it More and more and more you and me included But yeah, honestly for the mist the list that I have. Yeah, it's no doubt Thomas and Mackenzie should be the on my list is the one who should win her performance Her performance in leave no trace Like I said, she's young Number two. This is one of her this is one of her bigger performances that she's given and Honestly for me, this is the best work that she has ever done. Oh, yeah hands down. She she's excellent. She's excellent In that role and she would have been in mine because like I said, I put her as best actress Um, I would put her to win too. Um, I think laura heather I can never say her name right. She's from black clansmen too. I think she's the one to look out to She was fantastic. She's one of the best parts. She got it It's cool to see like her and spider-man homecoming and then pop up in there and like how much of a different role she can portray so I I mean, that's why I really put her in there is because I didn't even see her like I had to look up who the damn actress was and where she was from That's that's a good talent right there where you can't we don't pick them out as an actress You pick them out as their character. So Yeah, but let's move on to director Um, I'm gonna go first with this one Okay so Christopher McQuarrie John Krasinski airy austere Deborah granik and leany ramsey now leany ramsey did um, you were really never here and Deborah granik did um Leave no trace And now my honorable mention would be the bruso brothers Nice nice So mine is uh, Christopher McQuarrie for mission impossible fall out bow burn them for eighth grade Yep, that's a good one John Krasinski obviously for quiet place Deborah granik uh granik for leave no trace and Ari Aster for her auditory. Okay pretty solid So I think if you want to see I think if you would have seen you were really never here, which is also on vod now Um, you would like it Okay, so yeah, this is actually the list so far that have the most similarities on it I think the only difference is those actual lists that would happen Yeah, honestly, I do too I it's crazy. It's it's insane But yeah, so So This is so who do you think would win? Honestly out of all of these I think Krasinski Yeah, it more than likely it would be If on an actual level Krasinski would probably win on if I'm hoping granik because it leaves no trace or McCarty Yeah, when it comes down to it though For my list if I was gonna pick somebody to win it would be between It would be between Krasinski and and Aster because honestly I I never really got the whole uh Looking down on genre films like horror films and stuff because Honestly, Ari Aster is a rising talent and Obvious, I'm not exactly sure if they're actually going to include it in the actual Oscars But I think hereditary and Ari Aster deserve to be in the talks for it because what he was able to do with hereditary Is insane. Well with the most popular awards, maybe it'll get nominated Uh, you you know what the most popular award can bite me. Okay.   I'm gonna take my marker and draw all over the mic now Or camera. Yeah, so for best screenplay. I have black clansmen eighth grade hereditary isle of dogs in tully Okay, pretty straight. Uh, I put the wife little stranger Black clansmen sorry to bother you in first reformed as mine Okay, nice. Who would be your winner? Oh the winner out of all of these I would have to say probably isle of dogs. Okay I mean, I'll I really if it wasn't isle of dogs It would probably be black clansmen because black clansmen If we're going to talk about films that aren't animated in any way then black clansmen by far has the best Screenplay of this entire year so far That one or first reformed for me. We probably win for the best Screenplay but isle of dogs. There's just there's something that west anderson and his team do with their scripts That is just so phenomenal it's it's great Yeah, it's great and isle of dogs instead of like the fantastic mr. Fox. It was It was a pg-13 film that was a lot more Mature than it had any right to be and it was I mean it was just I mean I didn't know how mature it was gonna be until I saw the damn dog rip the other dogs of you're off That's what I was like. Okay now. This isn't that much of an animated film for kids Yep, like classic mr. Fox is an animated film for everyone Yeah, dogs for adults and I really like that. I love dogs It's weird that's none of my top 10 though. Like I was so looking forward to that film I think I need to revisit again because I only saw it once so No, it's interesting because I love dogs. I love it. I gave it my highest rating, but it's not Wait, was it in my top then? I don't know right now. I did it. It wasn't no But there's a reason for that and the fact of the matter is I loved I love dogs But it's just not a movie that I want to go rewatch and watch over and over and over. I think our problem with that film is it's too long Yeah, I think 10 minutes gonna be cut out of that movie and it would have been a better made film Well, even it wouldn't have been better made I think it just would have helped the pacing because I think that's the reason I don't want to rewatch it So much is because it's like fantastic mr. Fox I rewatched like every few months because I love that film But it's not as long. Maybe it is. I don't know. It doesn't feel as long But yeah, so that brings into question You know, this is something that we didn't actually bring up We know we love the Incredibles 2 Incredibles 2 between the island dog Incredibles 2 But no, no, no not how much you love it. I mean, I love Incredibles 2 more than I love dogs as well What I'm saying is though as far as the Winner for best animated film What's gonna win?  What makes you think that? Did you see it? Yes, dude adorable Yeah, it was adorable The dance sequence at the end deserves an Oscar nomination Yeah, that's true Between Incredibles and uh Isle of Dogs I'd probably say Incredibles I'd still think Incredibles my thing with Is because as much as like like I like west anderson's film some of them. I love I don't like them all I don't know how big of a west anderson fan you are But for me, I don't like his films are very entertaining But like the only two that I actually think are like oscar caliber Like greatness is Grand Budapest Hotel, which is hands down his best film and fantastic mr. Fox Those are the only two I think that are actually like oscar caliber stuff Isle of Dogs is good and it will be nominated for best animated picture this year Hopefully I mean if it's not there's something wrong But my thing with it is It's good But like Incredibles 2 was great Yeah, I'm not I'm not gonna disagree with you there It was it was I think more people probably saw Incredibles 2 than Isle of Dogs Yeah, that's true But when the the Oscars ever listened to the people Oh wait when they made the executive decision that they thought the most popular film of the year would be a good award I'm I'm seriously never gonna get over that that in my opinion was just about the stupidest thing they could have ever done Wait, what was that? Sorry you cut out for a second Oh, I'm sorry.  Is it this? Is it that I? Because for me it's like if anyone's just gonna vote like oh, what was the most popular film of this year Why wouldn't you just put it up for best picture too? Yeah, I mean so it doesn't make sense to me so I don't know but let's move on to our last category and that is cinematography. Do you want to say your names? Yeah, sure.  I wish I would have put that one Damn, I wish I would have put that one um my cinematography now I'm not gonna review this film. I'm not I I thought it was fine. I just I don't really want to review it and that's alpha. I think alpha is gorgeous One of the best looking films ever. So if you were going to Holy crap, why didn't I even think of that? That film was gorgeous. That's yeah, it was it was okay I didn't think it was like like I thought the film was good. Um, I just didn't love it. All right undisclosed right now without What would you get it for a letter grade? um B minus c plus All right, there you go. You just reviewed it. We're all happy everybody Yeah, I went and saw it like I was like I had like two hours to kill So I just went and saw it and I was like, oh, yeah, I'm pretty nice I'm not nothing special, but I think the cinematography special for that film I I mean seriously that the cinematography is gorgeous. Um, the why could be my next one Oh, yeah the griffin loved that film. Yeah, he did it's I mean I I mean I guess I can understand why he would enjoy it me I found it kind of I think I needed the trailer so much so I literally could not care less. I've seen that film Yeah, no same here. I mean honestly, I I generally don't like to go into movies with huge expectations because I found with my personal experience that destroys the experience for me But I will say that alpha My biggest problem with it is Even though it was an hour and a half long, it was just so boring to me That was really my biggest problem with it Like everything else I thought was fine. Um, my next one would be the wife Leave no trace hereditary in a quiet place would be best in the photography And I think quiet places slept on when talked about cinematography that when the red lights turn on that scene is like It's gorgeous. Yeah, it's it's insanely great. Um, but yeah, so that's our oscar nominations if the oscars were tomorrow um These will change a ton by november hands down will be all changed like That's just the truth like almost all these nominations will be changed by like november or december I mean, let's just look at the films that we got coming in october two months away There's what first no wait first man doesn't come out but It might it might because it's rumored to be getting an early i max release Okay, but we also know that um Bad times at the l royale is coming out in october now.

I think the script will be I don't think the film will be though Yeah, i'm still trying to figure out because we talked about it on on the stars one comes out in october it comes out the same week as um venom Yep, that's probably limited so it means the next week, but it's locked over Yeah, true. Um Yeah, and then we know of course that October through through december is just going to be all oscar mate type stuff Oh, you guess what? Yeah, um, guess what? mary poppins returns. There's a certain actress in mary poppins returns You want to know something?

Honourable delegates, hosts, ladies and gentlemen, I'm delighted to be here in Buenos Aires. In the interest of time, let me incorporate by reference all of the many thank-yous, well-deserved that have been put forward by the preceding speakers. Instead, let me start with one admission and two assertions. The admission. I was a senior official at the FCC for eight years in the 1980s, and we made plenty of mistakes. In fact, on cellular, I think that's all we did was make mistakes. So, buyer, beware. Now for my two assertions. One, broadband is a key driver for the digital transformation and economic growth, and it's going to play a fundamental role as a component in next-generation technologies like 5G. And I could cite very big numbers here involving billions and hundreds of billions of dollars from private analysts and the World Economic Forum on the impact, the revenues, and so on, but I'm going to spare you all that. Two, broadband is deployment and subscribership is going to occur where and when companies and consumers think they're going to benefit from it. And policymakers can have an enormous impact on where and when that is. First, they can create an attractive investment climate and adopt enlightened antitrust and spectrum policies. And if anyone doubts the significance of those factors, consider the enormous remarkable increase in cellular subscribership in Latin America, Africa, India, and so on, all within a space of a few years in this last decade. It is the most remarkable telecom success story in my 36 years of watching telecom policy. And policymakers can address areas where broadband is unprofitable, either because of costs or income, and then there are special areas where they have roles in infrastructure, security, training and education, and so on. And often it's going to be the case that market-based solutions, public-private partnerships will be the most useful way to proceed there. If you're interested in this, I encourage you to look at a report recently released by Intel and others on the IoT strategy dialogue. One final word on 5G and why it's relevant to developing countries. Consider that 90% of broadband users in developing countries are mobile broadband users. And the surprising effects that that had in many, many cases, the remarkable example of course of mobile banking, 5G is going to surprise us in very much the same way It won't happen all at once or everywhere the same way, but there will be many surprises. For example, will it be the case that low-frequency, low-bandwidth applications for agriculture will save lives, or smart uses for sustainable water management, or high and mid-band frequencies which will make possible more capacious, more reliable data services, which will then free up or make possible remote, rural health applications, remote monitoring and so on, in ultra-rural areas, or in cities and urban areas, autonomous vehicles, again, saving lives. These are all things that may again become possible when these things start unfolding in developed world, the equipment being depreciated and the uses attractive, which brings me back to where I began, which is that policy makers can have an enormous impact on where broadband and next generation broadband will be beneficial. To get that benefit, we're going to need to get the big things right and focus on special roles, and if we do that, we will get big and special benefits. Thank you very much.
