For those of you who haven't seen this material before, I would recommend that we try to solve the problem that all the exercises have a problem fashion. So let's start. Okay, so the quantum systems are gonna be modelled by a finite dimensional Hilbert space, so I'm gonna restrict myself to finite dimensions in this course, and the domain of the results extend beyond that. Okay, so the definition of a Hilbert space, I don't think I need to go over this. So a notation for linear operators, right, from H to H prime is this, right, and from H to H bar, to H prime. Important, I'll join the operator S star, S star is an operator from H prime to H, okay, which satisfies this property, but it's the inner product. Okay, so then there's some important classes of operators that I'm going to be considering. So unitary operators, they are the ones with the inverse is the adjoint. Hermitian operators, for which the self adjoint, and positive operator, which is very important role. So it's Hermitian operators, which have a non-negative ideal. Okay, and from a projection, that's great, let's see what's that. Okay, so very quick review of the way I see the bracket location. Okay, so I can see a ket as a linear operator from the complex numbers to a Hilbert space. And okay, the adjoint of this is denoted by the bra, as you know. Okay, and so then the inner product is naturally a ket. If I can compose these two operators, the bra was the ket, and so it gives me the inner code. Okay, so, yes, I'm also using the outer product. That's fine, simple. Okay, so now let's get to the spectrum of the composition. Okay, so any Hermitian operator, I can find a normal basis. Okay, I'm not here at EI, but that S is written as the sum of lambda i to the eigenvalues and the EI to the eigenvector. Okay, so again, S is positive and only if all the eigenvalues are non-negative. And so one thing that we're gonna be doing here is often applying functions to positive operators in particular, or the mission. And so this just means that you apply the function to the eigenvector. Okay, so for things to start getting interesting to doing computation and information, we will have multiple systems, have composite systems. So yeah, I have systems that are called ABC. In general, I'd be calling X and Y the classic of systems. Okay, so on each one of these systems has an associated Hilbert space. And of course the Hilbert space for the composite system is the tensor product of the two of the spaces. Okay, and the tensor product is just, you can see it as the Lekker space, which is scanned by the tensor product of the vectors in the unit. Okay, and the inner product is defined by the product of the tensor products, the product of the inner products for the tensor product, and then you will send it in. Okay, and then I can also define the tensor product on the linear operators. So if I take S and T as linear operator, then the tensor product of these two linear operators, when it acts on tensor product vectors, it's just the tensor product outputs. Okay, and then you extend it in. And then there's some natural identifications that we'll be doing is, so if I take the tensor product of the set of linear operators from HA to H prime A, with HB to H prime E, then this is identified with linear operator from HA, then so HB to H prime A, particular case of that is okay, good. So yeah, so this was all completely abstract. Let's start with now modeling quantum systems. So yeah, as probably all of you know, so the state of a quantum system is modeled by a density operator, okay, which mathematically it's an operator on the relative Hilbert space H that is positive and the row is positive and it has trace one as a normalization connection. Okay, and I'll be denoting the set of density operators as S of H, S for states. Okay, and so I'll say that the state row is pure if it has rank one. Okay, rank one and pure for me, it's the same thing. Okay, one vocabulary I might be using about this is when I say the maximum mixed state is just the state which is proportional to the idea. Okay, so the uniformity. Okay, good. So yeah, so here I talk a little bit more of the density operator formalism. So yeah, so if you're used to quantum states and just as vectors on a Hilbert space, then the corresponding density operator is the outer product of the site in itself. Okay, and so now I'm looking operationally about how to model the system. So if I have a composite system, I have to tell you what is the corresponding Hilbert space and it's the tensor product of the two corresponding Hilbert spaces. Okay, and if I physically prepare two systems independently, so A and B for example, then the corresponding state is just row A for row B. Okay, but of course in general if there's correlations, they could be more general. Okay, so yeah, just a notation also for short, for now that instead of talking of saying H A for the Hilbert space corresponding to the system A, I'll just use A for the Hilbert space and for the label of the system. Okay, so now that I defined the corresponding Hilbert space, what is the evolution? How does the system evolve? So there's many ways in which it can evolve. So if I have an isolated evolution on the system A, then this is modeled by a unitary operator. You are acting on the Hilbert space A. Okay, and if I have a composite system on AB, then after applying a unitary on A and doing nothing on B, then the state after applying this transformation is modeled in this way. And we'll find A is UA tensor identity and row B. So as you notice, I tried to, when possible to include as a subscript the system on which the operator acts. It's not always possible to do that one to be a bit heavy, but I try to do it when it's okay. So this is one, so one type of evolution is this isolated evolution as a unitary. Another type of evolution is the measurement. So here a measurement would be modeled by some operators, Mx on the Hilbert space A. Okay, and X is the outcomes of the measurement. X labels, X is just a finite set which labels the outcome of the session. Okay, and of course there should be a normalization condition and the relevant one is this one. The sum over X of Mx star and Mx we could find it. Okay, so when I do a measurement I get two things. I get the classical outcome and a post-measurement state and so the probability of outcome X is given by this formula. So trace of Mx, rho A, Mx star and here I put the formula in case that another system around the system B. Okay, so this is the formula for the probability of X and it's easy to check here that the sum of these probabilities is equal to one. Then I impose exactly, I mean you can see that this condition was exactly so that this one. Okay, and the post-measurement state is given by sandwiching rho A, B, U, S, these operators, Mx and Mx star and dividing by the bit. So this is conditional C and X. Okay, so here I talk specifically about, okay, so you might be more used to the setting where Mx is a projector, okay, but here in the definition I gave it can be more general. So the Mx are arbitrary operator that satisfies this problem. It's normalize this problem. Okay, and with this measurement you can model several things. You can model like a unitary followed by a projective memory. Okay, yeah, maybe let me introduce the notion of PODM here as this would come up. A lot is, okay, so sometimes I'm not interested in the post-measurement state, right? I'm just interested in the probability of the outcome. For example, I would throw away the system completely and I would just see the outcome. That's the only thing I'm interested in. And this would be, for example, the case when we look at state discrimination. And so in this case, you see that the probabilities only depend on this operator, Mx star Mx, okay? But in this case I just, I can forget the Mx itself and just keep the ex, so. And yeah, so this gives me the definition of a PODM, or positive operator value measure. PODM for short on A is just a family of positive operators. Now on A, that's on blinding. And in this case, just the probability of an outcome is just trace of ex. Okay, good. Okay, so that is what I want to say for states. So now quantum channels, some of you didn't see it, so I'll try to go a little bit more slowly on quantum channels. So yeah, a quantum channel is a general way of describing the evolution of a state or a system. And so this is general in the sense that the Hilbert space that you're looking at can change. So you have an input system A and an output system B, so this you can think of it as an arbitrary physical operation. So it could be, for example, for getting a system or adding a particle or anything like that. So this is modeled by, so what we see is a quantum channel. Okay, so of course, I mean, so what should be, what should be the property that is satisfied by quantum channel? It should map the set of density operators, to the set of density operators on B. Okay, so as you'll see, that will require a little bit more than that and I'll discuss this in a minute. So let me first give you the definition and then we will comment. Okay, so I'll say here that the quantum channel B, it's a linear map from the set of linear operators on A, two linear operators on B. So notice that the linear is natural here because I would like convex combinations to be mass convex combination. Okay, so here are the two constraints that we put that ensure that we satisfy the two constraints corresponding to the definition of the state. Okay, so the first one is to ensure that positive operators stay positive. But I'll ask a little bit more and so, so again, let me define it and then we'll comment about this is so, yeah, I say that for any input, positive operator role, the output should be a positive operator. But this is not only for when I input some positive operator on B, but I would also take the tensor product with an arbitrary input space R, it's a reference system R, and then I would just do nothing on the system R. So here I, I, R is just the identity on the set of linear operators on R, okay? So it seems like a complicated definition right now because I have to test overpost for different spaces. Okay, but we'll see in a minute it's actually simpler in some sense, okay? So, so I asked that the, again, to summarize, I asked that this linear of this quantum channel E on positive operators, it maps to positive operators, but this stays true even if I take the tensor product and it's identity, if I get C4, okay? And the other natural thing is to say that it's space to learn, okay? So if I start with a state, which has space one, then I'll put something like this, okay? So now I want to discuss why, why complete positivity and not just positivity, okay? So what would be a positive map? And yeah, this is the definition of a positive map is that it just maps a positive operator to a positive operator. So this would be the first thing you might come up with, but it turns out that this is not very well behaved in the sense that the positivity of a map is not stable on the tensor product, okay? So you can take two positive maps and tensor product then together and you get something which is not positive, okay? So this is physically not valid because you should be able to, if I have two physical quantum channels I can apply, I should be able to do also the tensor product, right? Which is, I look at just one of the system and I apply it with the physical operation and the other system, I also do the quantum physical operation. So if the tensor product becomes non-node, non-physical then this is a problem. Okay, so yeah, here I said more specifically what do I mean by it's not stable on the tensor product. I mean that there exists positive maps E and F, right? Such that if I take the tensor product, which is defined in this way then this is not positive. Okay, so let's just see a little bit more specifically how can this happen? So of course if I take input and input which is tensor product, right? So if I take rho which is positive and sigma which is positive and I applied with the tensor product of my two positive maps, then of course I would get something positive because by construction it's just the tensor product and the positive operator is positive. Okay, so and more generally if I take just convex combinations of rho tensor sigma I will also stay positive, right? So and the convex combination of product operators this is also called a set of separable operators of states if it's normalize. It's just the convex hull of tensor product. The positive operators, okay? So yes, so okay, again naturally so if I take a tensor product of positive operators on separable states it would stay positive but it can fail to be positive. So tensor F of rho can fail to be positive if I take a state rho which is in a state on A tensor A bar but not separable, okay? And these are exactly called the entangled states. And a typical example that you will discuss in the problem session, most typical example is to just take that E to be the transport map where you fix the basis and you take the transpose and you take F to be the identity map. Then you will see that if you choose the rho you choose a when chose an entangled rho then you find an output and it's not positive. Okay, so that's the idea and so on the other hand as you'll also see in the problem session complete positivity which I defined in the previous slide is stable on the test point. Okay, so let's look at some few simple examples of quantum channels. Okay, so the first example is if I take a unitary operator on A, right? So the quantum channel which applies the unitary operator is just to conjugate T by U and U, okay? And it's easy to verify that this is completely positive, right, because just in general when you sandwich a positive operator with arbitrary operator and it's conjugate and then you get something called, okay, so I'm gonna check. So yeah, so this is actually what I wrote here. So in general for an arbitrary S, right, take S to S star, then this is a completely positive. And okay, how about trace preserving? The other condition trace preserving this just follows from the fact that you put one there. Okay, another important map that we'll use all the time is this departional trace map, okay? So this is, again, the map which just forgets the system. If I have a joint state for A, B, I just forget the B system, then this is what is called the partial trace and it's defined this way. So it's sum over, so I fixed this on the basis of E and I take the sum over E of sandwich with this operator, this basis on the D system. Another way of seeing this partial trace, and it's like this, is that it's the identity map that's on the trace map. Yeah, again, the partial trace, it's placed the role of taking the margin of joint property distribution. Okay, so for example, the special case, the special classical case, for example, if you have the two systems A and D are classical, in some fixed basis A and B, like the partial trace, which again, yeah, so this is an important notation I'm using is that if I have row A, B, which is a joint state of A, B, I use the notation row A for the partial trace over D of row A, B, yeah, so it's matching the margin of this, I think it's here in the cell. Okay, why is this a valid channel? Again, simple to see, because as I said, so these maps which are obtained by sandwiching with an operator are pretty positive, and then I get the sums, pretty positive. Okay, again, trace to everything, pretty fine. Okay, so now how can I see a measurement in this formula of quantum channels? Yes, remember, the way we defined it is just by a set of operators, Mx, such that the sum over Mx star and X equal to identity. And yeah, so imagine I want the output of the channel to contain both the outcome, the actual outcome X, as well as the both measurement states. Okay, so now my input, the input space would just be A, and my output input space would be X. X, okay, so this is just a input space of dimension corresponding to the number of outcomes of my measurement, and tensor product with the same input space as the input space. Okay, so this would contain the outcome, and A would contain the both measurements. Okay, and so what is the corresponding quantum channel in this case, it just has the following form, so it maps an arbitrary operator T to the sum over all X's of here, the projectron X, tensor, Mx, T, Mx star. Okay, again, it's simple to verify that it's completely positive and trace deserving by all the property that we, thereby the same properties as what we described before. Okay, and so it's easy to check that this is consistent with what we discussed before. Remember, I told you that the probability of the outcome, X is given by this quantity, okay, and so if I just multiply and divide by this quantity, which we call p of X, remember we call this p of X, just like go. So if I just multiply and divide by it, I see that just this is the probability of obtaining outcome X, and conditioned on having the, conditioned on the register, on this classical register, being in the state X, then the post-measurement state is actually what I see in the A register. The two different spaces, and it's called the classical quantum state. So specifically, so a state of this for order, of the forward form, so I fix the basis of the X system, and then if I write it to the forward form, so there's some of the probability of X tensor, some conditional state of the A system, this is what I call C state, okay, good. Okay, so now I'm going to move to, how to represent the quantum channel. Okay, so that it's a linear operator, so there are there's many ways of representing it, but there are some common ways of representing it, which are useful in order to test whether it's a channel or not, and useful in terms of interpretation. Okay, so one of them will be what is called the Cholian operator of quantum channel, and so this will be an operator from A to C, another one is the crowds representation, this will be the list of operators from A to B, and Stein-Spring representation will be given in terms of an operator from A to B, tensor another X versus 10 B. Okay, so let's start with the Cholian representation. So okay, there's variants of it, but okay, now I'll take a simple fixed one, which is called the Cholian operator. Okay, so for that we fix the basis, so basis dependent, we fix the basis on the A system, remember A is the input of the channel, okay, and we consider a system A bar, which has the same dimension as A, okay, so think of it as a binary system, and what I do is I see one way to see it is that I prepare a maximally entangled state between A and A bar, and I apply to the A system the channel, and I leave the A bar system on its own, okay? Another way to see this is just to say that, okay, so like a basis of the linear operators on A is just the set of A, A prime. This forms a basis of all the linear operators, so it's sufficient to just list all these out to the right, so E per A, A prime, so and this Cholian operator is just a way of putting, of arranging this list of operators in this way, right? So you can see it as a big block matrix if you want, where I put this matrix E of A, A prime in the place corresponding to A, A prime, okay, yeah, so there's the mathematical point of view, where it's just a list of A, A prime, but it also has this physical interpretation in terms of preparing a fixed state, right? Fixed maximally entangled state between A and A bar, and applying this channel to the basis, sorry? Can you say again? Hi, I can't hear you well. Why is there a problem? Ah, okay, because it's to distinguish if you could. Ah, yes, here? Because, okay, so A and A bar are two isomorphic systems, and I just take, okay, because formally the channel is from A to B, right? So I take a copy of the A system, and it's the A bar system, and the A bar system, like, I don't act on it, and I act on the A system with the channel B, right? So you can think of the A bar system as a copy of A. Okay. I could have written A as well, if you want, but here I would have A and A, I would have two systems, which are called the same thing. Yes? No, no, G is an operator from A bar tensor B to A bar tensor B. It's an operator from space to itself. Yes? Yes, you mean, yeah, so it's a matter, yeah, I could have called the A bar A and A A bar. Okay, it's just that now the channel goes from A bar, I define the channel to go from A to B, but it's not the big issue, it's just a naming convention. Okay, so, yeah, so notice that, so yeah, sometimes, so notice that here I took this state to be unnormalized, because I didn't, so it's, yeah, I think it's quite good. Okay, you can take the, if you normalize it just by one over dimension of A, then this will become a state, and sometimes you talk of the choice state of a one. So I will interchange the operator or choice state, just the only difference is the factor dimension of A. Okay, so yeah, so let's see some few examples. So if I take the identity channel, okay, so the channel does nothing, I don't do anything, and so then yeah, B and A are the same space. Then, okay, then of course E does nothing, and so the choice state is just this operator, this maximum time of operator, so A, A, A prime. Okay, so if E is just doing the trace, it's a value in your operator, trace, then in this case, the choice state is just identity, and if, for example, the channel is just outputting some constants, some constants, sigma and the trace, then the corresponding choice state is identity on A then. Okay, so one thing you might wonder is, does this capture everything? I mean, what I said, it should be clear that capture everything, so it contains the output of E of all possible on the basis of the type of linear operators, and it does indeed capture everything, and there is, sometimes there's even, an isomorphism, which is called the Choy-Chamnitowsky isomorphism between a channel and its corresponding state, its corresponding Choy operator, okay, so I mean, the Choy and the Chamnitowsky, I don't think they're not slightly different, but so here I chose the Choy one, because it's a little bit simpler, and you can make this even very explicit, so like you can write what is the, so of course, given in E, it's easy to write what is the corresponding choice state, this is exactly what I defined, but I claim it's an isomorphism, so you can go the opposite way as well, and it's given by this map, so from this operator J on N of A tensor E, I can construct a channel, okay, which is defined in this way, so it maps an operator A to this other operator on B, which is given by taking transpose of this operator on the A system, tensor identity and multiplying it with J, and then taking partial trace, okay, so I won't, if you'd like to check this, I left the calculations on the lecture board. Okay, so why is this representation useful? This is an important thing, is that, so this representation is useful as it can be used to easily check whether a given linear map is a valid quantum channel or not, right, so in the way I defined it, right, if I give you a linear operator by just specifying it in some way, how do you test whether it's a valid quantum channel or not? Okay, in the definition I gave, it looks very complicated, you would have to test all possible Hilbert spaces and tensor identity and tests on all positive operators that it should not be something positive, this looks like quite complicated, but you see now that it's actually relatively simple, okay, why, because of the following observation, is that a given quantum channel E is completely positive if and only if the corresponding Schole operator is a positive operator, right, and positivity is that to be simple to check, right, you just have to check that the operator is positive and this is an important thing, it says that not only checking whether a channel is a quantum channel can be done efficiently, it's even you can optimize like a linear function, let's say, on the set of all possible quantum channels efficiently, so yeah, this is an important property here, and actually this is to be contrasted with positivity, so you might think that testing positivity, just that E of some positive operator is a positive operator, you might think that this is a simpler definition, but it's actually not complicated, so because I mean as you see in the problem session, positivity of a channel is related to the separability problem, testing whether a state is acceptable or not, and this is hard, much harder than just testing that the operator is positive, okay, so yeah, also there's a way of seeing very easily on the Schole operator whether the map is straight preserving or not, this is just by looking at taking the partial trace over the B system and checking that this is equal to write it, okay, and so yeah, if you want another, oh yeah, another interpretation of this is that, yeah, okay, not again, okay, so I included a proof here when you put it over, right, so let's just say that, okay, one direction, so if you start with a map which is completely positive, then the fact that the choice state of the Schole operator is positive, this is easy, right, this is direct, right, so this is positive, by definition of complete positivity, if I do identity terms are easy, it gives me something positive, so this is immediate. The part which requires proof is the other side, is that if this operator is positive, the Schole operator is positive, then the corresponding quantum channel is completely positive, and again, it's not very hard, just write the negative decomposition of this operator, GAB, and just by expanding things out, you will be able to write E as in this form, right, in the sum of X, KX, times the input times KX, and we saw that this old maps of this form are directly completely positive, okay, again, the trace preserving aspect is also quite immediate, so it's not very cool, right, okay, so now let's move on to the second representation of completely positive maps or quantum channels, it's this Kraus representation, and it follows immediately also from the previous theorem is that any completely positive map can be written as in the previous form, right, so I can write it really as a sum of the input sandwiched by KX for some arbitrary operators, and these are sometimes called Kraus operators, and you see actually that this R is directly related to the rank of this choice, and of course, again, the trace preserving aspect is related to having the sum of KX star KX so this is sometimes called also the operator sum representation. Okay, so the third representation that sometimes used is this time spring violation, it says the following, so if I take any completely positive map, then I can write it as, okay, so I take my input, I sandwich it with an operator M, okay, which maps it from A to not B directly, but D tensor, some other input space, okay, and then of course the E, I don't need it anymore, so I take a positive place, okay, and in this case E is trace preserving if and only if M is an isometry, so M star M is equal to, okay, and yeah, this condition is why it's called isometry that it preserves more, so if I start with Psi with a given norm, then M times Psi has the same node, okay, and again, this is not complicated to check given the Kraus representation, for example, and one way to do it is to take this map M, which is supposed to be an isometry if the map is trace preserving, has just the sum over X of K X tensor X, and so naturally the E space is the space which is span by X, okay, why is this, so it's also easy to see, so if you take M as an operator times M star, you will get this operator, and then when you take the partial phase over E, then the cross term will go away, so you get the delta X X tensor X, so you get the line, okay, so yeah, one way of interpreting this if you would like is that you can see an arbitrary quantum evolution if you take a larger space, so for example, yeah, if you add an extra space R here, but you fix it, you put it in an arbitrary, some fixed state zero, and then you apply some unitary, and you get B and some, also some environment system, then your map from A to B corresponds to this bigger unitary of this bigger space from which you have appended zero on R and then you put your partial phase over E, and again it's simple to check that such a unit there exists from previous, and it's pretty scorched, okay, any question? Okay, so the last thing I wanted to mention is something that doesn't have much to do with, with directly at least with states and channels, but it's a useful, it's a mathematical concept that we'll be using starting from tomorrow, so I thought it would that I introduced today, and for those who are already familiar with some of this material, you can focus on the problems in the problem session related to this concept. Okay, so yeah, so this is the idea of functions that are monotone or convex in an operator case. So you all know what the monotone function is and what the convex function is, and now in these lectures, tomorrow will be applying functions a lot to operators rather than to scalars, okay? As I alluded to that at the beginning when I told you you apply a function to the eigenvalues, and so in this context it's useful to define these notions of operator monotone and operator convex functions, okay? So yeah, so as you know, so a function F from some interval of R, let's say, R is said to be monotone if when I take A bigger than D, then F of A is bigger than F of D, okay? And now I think that it's operator monotone if this holds not only if I plug in scalars, but if I plug in operators, okay? So now I take any dimension B and I take any Hermitian operators A and B where the spectrum is included in I, where this function is defined, then I will require that if A is bigger than B, and here this is seen in the, this is now a partial order, right? That if A is bigger than B means just that A minus B is a positive operator. If A is bigger than B, if A is bigger than B, then F of A is bigger, again in this point, if same definite sense, than F of B, okay? And so the reason this concept is not trivial is that it's different from the usual concept of monotone, right? So it goes the same, then there will be no need to define a new thing for it. And you can check this by seeing that there exist functions that are monotone, but not operator monotone, okay? So the typical example is the function x squared, okay? And even if it was an exercise, we showed it, okay? Find operator in B, this is satisfied, but when you square it, then it's not satisfied. But still, there are some operator monotone functions and typical examples are like the log function or the square root function, okay? And you can define exactly the same thing for complexity. Exactly the same thing. So again, it's defined on scalars and then now you say that it's operator complex if it's not only true for equal one, notice that yeah, so one thing maybe I stress on is that the usual complexity or the usual monotonicity corresponds to just saying that equal one, there's one by one matrices and then it becomes the usual definition. Here operator, complexity and operator monotonicity, I asked that this inequality holds for any, okay? And so, yes, so it's exactly the same thing. I say f of complex combination of A and B is more than the complex combination of the outputs and again, it's similar to before is that there are examples of non-convex but not operator complex functions. And but yeah, there are also operator which are convex and this you should do it in the problem session. And yeah, I should say that there is a nice theory of operator convex and operator monotone functions and they're even in some sense fully characterized so we know exactly what are the functions which are operator monotone operator. Okay, and so I'm fine for today, I'm exactly on time. So I'll stop here for a minute.

Hello and welcome to our Romantic CI updates. And today we will talk about metrics builds. I will explain what are the metrics builds and we will see how to use the needs keyword with metrics builds added in GitLab 16.3 recently and a quick demo. Metrics builds allow users to define multiple build configurations within a single job. As you can see here in the right code example, you have a test job. And at the bottom you see the parallel metrics keyword that gets two arrays with parameters. And as a result, during runtime, the pipeline will look like this. This job will create four different test jobs with different parameters. That means that all of the inputs that they put here will become a CI CD environment variables that I will be able to use in the CI CD configuration. So imagine that you get is a requirement to test your application, to get a spreadsheet with metrics of 20 or 50 different platforms, environment, writing systems can live in different kind of hardware. And now you need to test all of this long list of metrics in your pipeline. So instead of writing so many different jobs we'll cover all of these requirements and metrics to define one job and build the metrics using the metrics keyword. The second thing, the benefit is that it run on parallel. So all of those metrics big jobs we want simultaneously, you will need enough runners available to run or you can run in a specific runner but configure it that it will allow to run multiple job concurrently. And user flexibility, users can define any custom metrics based on the project you need. So with that, let's see a quick demo. So I have here a GitHub project with Python application and let's assume that I want to test my Python syntax on different Python versions. So what I will do, I will use metrics build and it's really simple example. So use your job with the parallel metrics keyword and I define all different Python versions that I want to test. And as I mentioned, this will become a CI CD environment variables in the CI pipeline. And I use it here in the image, use Python and the version is the parameter that I define here. Once the job will run, it will run four instances of this job with different Python image. Let's see it live. So this is my job. We see if I click on it, I can see the different jobs that it automatically created. And now I can open the console and see the Python version. So the first line, it go and download the Python image. So this actually my environment. I want to test my code now in image Python 3.8 and if I will go the second one, I would expect that now it downloads image Python 3.9 and for here, I test and I see that it works on Python 3.10. So this makes my coverage that if they link all of those jobs we pass, I know that I'm confident that my programming language, the syntax works when on the required Python versions. And as you see, one job completed, the other still running. And this leads me to talk about the needs. Needs is part of the feature, not the feature called the directed acyclic graph introduced in GitLab many years ago, 12.2. So I know the name is Robust. And the feature is actually simple. And so normally without the directed acyclic graph, jobs running in stages. In this example, I have three stages, linked, test and container. Normally jobs running in orders. In order, so first the linked job will complete. Only all of the linked job will complete. Test jobs will run and only all of, once all of the test jobs complete, then the container needs jobs run. But as you see, not the situation here because I have here some jobs and they haven't completed, but still I have test job completed and also Docker build job completed. So in this situation, as you see, I have a pipeline still running. It may take time, the pipeline to complete, but I'm lucky I have a Docker build ready. I can use it and maybe other team that is waiting now, so this Docker build, they can get it without waiting to the pipeline that can take maybe one hour or I don't know the dependence on the complexity of the pipeline. But with the done, we can define dependencies. In this example, what I define is, I say that this job can solve running as long as this job completed. I don't care for those other jobs. But again, similarly, I define this job and start run once this job completes. I don't care for the other jobs. This is how I made some of the delivery already early. And let's see how we define this. It's also very simple in the GitLab syntax. So this is the, for example, the test 3.8 job. I just needed to add the needs keyword and define the job, the dependent job, and also which job inside the parametrics, in this case, I want to be dependent only on 3.8. So this is very simple. We now learned what is metrics built and what is the record of the secret graph. And you can read all of them in our online documentation here and about parallel metrics and how to use the needs with parallel metrics. Thank you for watching. I'm looking forward to see you in my next video.


has everybody had a chance to look over the minutes and do we have any changes or additions? Okay can we get a motion to approve the minutes? I know if we approve the minutes, it's written. Agenda or minutes? Oh watch the right, I'm jumping ahead of myself. Yeah. Okay let's look at the agenda. Do we usually approve it? Yeah, we usually approve it. We have? We have. We have. We changed up to one minute. Is it bad with our laws folks? Is there something to move or something? Yeah, that's okay. My bad. I'm thinking of Christmas here or something like that. Does anybody have any changes to the agenda? Would we approve the agenda? All in favor? Aye. Okay it has passed. And let's move right on to the minutes. You want to take a minute to look at them otherwise we won't need to change this. May I have a motion to approve the minutes? I move to approve the minutes. That's great. That's awesome. We're doing good. Yeah, I'll approve it. Do we have to go? All in favor? No? Aye. All right, is there any public here to be heard? And let's talk about the packet updates and we can discuss there. I think there's an annual report which is on the agenda so we could discuss that in order. Yeah, it's on the agenda. Yeah. Okay. I'm moving right along here. Let's start with the business. And we have the SHM grant project. Complete. Yeah, the window is in. So yeah, as of yesterday, or I'm sorry, not this week, it was the previous Monday. So yeah, and they, yeah, so all of that is complete. The news release is out and it's been picked up by the leader and the time's call. So they sat in the boulder or the daily camera? Yeah. So we're having a little two hour open house tonight and next Wednesday. Just to kind of, because the news release, the full release didn't come out until after the holiday open house. So just to make people more time to see it if they weren't aware before. So yeah, but everything is finalized with that in terms of the work being done. So yeah, I don't know any other updates like from Carrie or anything then. So then in the future we can take this off. Is there any last report or communication? Carrie's been taking care of all of that so I'll just go check with her and make sure everything's completely wrapped. But yeah, she's going to touch with it. Carol, what was your question? Is there any last communication on the court that needs to look out at history college? It includes the grant, the completion. Let's move on to donations and contributions. Any updates? I know that you have to go through legal. It's with legal, so still there could be several weeks or yeah, so we'll hear about that. So we will keep this for next time. Yeah. Okay, the digitized script. The museum has a new director of history, so we're going to be working directly with that person instead of with Eric Mason. So I've been connected with them, but since they just started, we're going to give them a little time to kind of get their feet wet. Next on the new year, basically the board to go over there and start scanning. But I think the plan is still as we've talked about is just to start with the first one and kind of figure out how much of an undertaking it really is and then decide if we want to keep moving forward. And what is the name of the director of history? Elizabeth. It's a boss. You're doing good. You got the first name. Yeah. So yeah, so we'll connect with them in New Year. Great. Okay, PEO Founder's Day program is on there. We're going to work on that. Karen? Yeah, we're working on it. We will have a meeting before that. Yeah, because it's the 20th. And we'll present the program to you guys before, or basically, again, we're just going over the history of it and we thought we would use a computer and show some of the film. And basically PowerPoint to her. I don't think we're doing anything out there that they should be concerned about. And you're familiar with the layout of the facility. We've already seen the facility and exactly how we're doing it and discussed that. Basically, we just have to put the presentation finalized every day. I even considered pressing up the name. I want to see. That would be great. Anybody can start? Yeah. I got a hat and the whole shebang is just the press. That would be so cool. I'll do it. I don't feel a pressure. No pressure, but yeah. I just got to get through the holidays first. That's why we're planning like a holiday. And then we've already had two houses for the holidays. And I know we did really good. Yes, yeah. Got the numbers here. Yeah, it was a great turnout. This next open house was 225 people total. Awesome. Kids, parents, families, et cetera. And we got $167 in donations. Thank you so much. And then the holiday open house, we had 408 people. Over half of them came in the first hour. It was a little nuts, but it was great to see the house so full and everybody plays by themselves. And then we got $229 in donations and $120 in merch sales, that and everything. Nice. Yeah, so $516 total brought in from those events and 633 people visiting the house. Wow. And 38 new email sign-ups. Wow. That was good. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 38 new email sign-ups. That's a success. That's a success. Yeah. Yeah, it's time. So yeah, great numbers from that. And like I mentioned, small open houses tonight and next Wednesday as well. Now, do you want anybody? Is it voluntary if you want people to show up? Are you just going to handle it? If anybody wants to feel free, Jacqueline and I will be here. And I mean, as much as we'd like, I have 400 people in the house. I hope we're not that many. I know it did go out and a lot of the papers, local papers. What time do you have the most? It's from 4 to 6 tonight and also next Wednesday. So if anybody wants to feel free, but also you're having additional open houses. Yeah. And the idea was that because the news releases, the full releases weren't out in time for quality open house. They bought it along with telling people what was going on. There should be an opportunity to come see the space that didn't make it to the house. So we're offering those a couple little extra segments of time. So yeah, no obligations. People generally, the behavior is awesome. Thank you. I just want to say when we left at 7 or whatever last week, Cindy and I walked off the door together and a car pulled up and the gouts got out. Yeah. They had a thing that said it was open from 4 to 8. Yeah. The same one. Or the long one. The long one. The long one. Visit long one. Visit long one. Visit long one. Visit long one. Yeah. And it made us feel super. Super. She was so excited. Yeah. So I'm sure. I don't really know. Where are they getting better information from? I am not sure, but I actually have a meeting. I'll have to make sure that from there to kind of connect to see how we can be more directly connected with the car. Yeah. So they're publishing stuff that we didn't get them. Yeah. I don't know where they have that. They shouldn't be. A lot of these places will just repeat something they've had before. I know. Exactly. They're trying to repeat it. Right. Just the hours from last year. They did that with our something with them or other things. Okay. Maybe we could put a little start like attention. New hours. Yeah. Or something like that. Or like stay and ask us before. So maybe we should start to. Yeah. That's fine. Yeah. So we'll be more directly connected with. Is it online? And there should be a chamber moving forward. So that would be good. Oh, got it. But yeah. So. Yeah, we should know anybody who's going to advertise us. We should know about it. Yeah. Yeah. So quick question. So you've got just to repeat. You've got the open house tonight. And what's the next one? Next Wednesday. So just tonight and the following Wednesday for four to six. Just to give another opportunity for a holiday open house. I can't. It's a quick little. Tonight that I could help. Okay. Sure. Thank you. Yeah. And like I said, no applications. We didn't expect to have a full open house. It's all I told that I missed this last one. Oh. I just was not. That's okay. Everything went great. So. Yeah. So. The next on the list is the updated video. The information on the video. Okay. Do not have any updates. Okay. Okay. I'll get that. Did it underwrite. Did we figure out how we're going to do a. You can't even think today. The process. Yeah. The process. Yeah. Same as what we've discussed. We need to get some bids and then. Those to be reviewed and then we'll go from there. So. And are you, are we going to see what are we bidding? For first before you put it out? Or are you guys going to put that together? To review it before it goes out? Yeah. Yeah. You should be able to do that. Yeah. And then, but, but we're looking for. Next year for sure. Yeah. Type of thing. Yeah. Absolutely. So. Yeah. I'm really quick. It's a little more coffee or something. A club affair. Let's talk about. I know we've got another schedule for. Next year. I don't really have any updates about that. I. After the last meeting we talked about that I would look through old files and see if I could find any information, which I. Found an empty file. But since. Yeah. So I have to be honest. I have basically nothing for that. So I think. Candy is probably the rest of you have a lot more information. In terms of getting that started. So. Connie Newman. Okay. Connie's got files on her computer. Oh, okay. She said she sent me. Great. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Great. Okay. Yeah. And those letters you have are real good. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to have a place to start. Okay. So I guess what we should be working on now is just. Names of clubs. And if you can get a contact person for those clubs. That'd be great. So. Things you want to or you know people want to. Reach out to them and then. You can send those. To me or Brittany. Do you have a list of past clubs that we've gotten. Could you share that. I did. You did. That's what she asked me. And I think. Last one. Okay. I think you gave it to. You gave me a hard copy. And then I think I gave it. Let's see if I still have it. Okay. Okay. Okay. This is yeah. Just the. Letters. Right. Yeah. I didn't know. I didn't get it. Everybody didn't get it. But we got it. Yeah. Okay. Honestly, I'm running through my mind as. As. Fuddled as I am. I think. No, it was just passed around. Okay. I have seen. You make it a point for everybody to. Look at. Can we get a copy? Sure. Yeah. Maybe. I don't know who you get one out today. But yeah. So by the next meeting, you might have a few to add to it. Like, you know. This kind of. Cross-off. Cross-off. It may not even be. Yeah. I'm sorry. That would be. That would you want to form. A committee or. I thought. We're leaving it as a co-chair. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I think we decided everybody was co-chair. Project. Okay. Yeah. It really needs to. It counts to have. With everybody. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But everybody. So you need time outside of the regular meetings to work on it. I guess. I think. We did. All right. Okay. And that's not going to run into the problem where there's only three of us can meet. Is that the case? Well, I mean, we're doing more business. Yeah. As long as we stick with the guidelines that we talked about, which is when we're meeting like that, that we're working on that specific task and not discussing other items that we've been coming up and we just have to be cautious of that. Okay. People are human, of course, but. Yeah. Okay. And that's the clarification we got. Okay. Great. And then if we can meet at the house, that's great. But if we can't, we can always meet at the library or someplace else. Yeah. The library is great. Yeah. Anywhere. Okay. So that will be scheduled as needed. All right. That's going to go on well. And the last thing in old business is our annual reports that I did hand out a copy of rough draft of it. And last month it was, we looked at it. I think Karen and you were here, right? So we waited. If there's no additions or changes, we can go with this. I just don't know why we're not using the protest on that. I think that that was really helpful and for the sense of reporting and looking back over several years, having that consistency is important. It is. And so much of you put the report together, too. Yes. Yes. It was the same kind of... Yeah. Just the best of it. And you put it in the... Like in the current year. Exactly. This pretty much follows the last one from last year. Can we go ahead and use the same format? I'll tell you because it's a lot easier. Well, it's the same. The difference is the graph. It's in there with... You had a graph that you didn't have lines in it last year. You don't. Do you have your... No. All right. So you... We're showing, and I know in part the reason we did this last year was... Did you have three years? Yes. Three years. But even prior years, when Campbell's last report was filed, did show prior years. So we were trying to be consistent in last year's report with prior years, which is actually quite helpful for reporting purposes, having those just quick numbers of from two years prior and then the current year. So I think we need to incorporate that again. So you want to... Okay. We have that information. Yeah. It's easy. That'd be easy to do. How far back do we want to go? Just putting the report in. So essentially we have a current year and then two years back. So you're just wanting to incorporate two past years along with... All on the graph. All on the graph. Yeah. It's easy. It's just changing tables. It makes it more... It does. You see change from year to year. It's natural. Okay. And because we don't have any city council liaison, it's important that they get to see those numbers. Except they read so many reports and stuff like that. They can't remember what happened last year. Last year. No problem then. We'll add two years, previous years to this, which is the graph one. And that's just in the graph. Yeah, just the graph. That's my energy. That's in the graph. Cool. So that's pretty simple. I know. It's good. I know. And we don't have maintenance. Which I think is, again, another thing that has been in years prior. It's important to you. Is that separate from the graph work? It is, actually. Yeah. And with reason. So what would fall over that? And then kind of repairs. Like the ceiling. I mean, any other... Anything that did happen this year. Yeah. Or that are uptown in part. It said that we can keep it on the radar to ensure that the maintenance happens. And also, if it's something that is historic, particularly if we need to... If the city is not going to provide funds for that, then we need to be doing some other grant. Documents. Yeah. So that documents that we've had this on the calendar. This is something that's outstanding. It does need to be taken care of. So it'd be future maintenance. Well, maintenance. It's what happened during the year. Yeah. If you did maintenance. Well, she mentioned that. Right. That's been on our list forever. Yeah. So I mean, do you want to list a future maintenance item? Yeah. That's what it was made to this year. That's good. But yeah. What year is that one that you're referring to? Like when was the last one that... This is last year's report. Okay. And it covered 2020 through 2022. But it does... Yeah. So the overview of recent years, just a quick paragraph there. The 2022 activities and the 2022 events kind of breakdown of those events. That's helpful too for grant writing. And then 2022 maintenance. Things that happened or need to be done. Accommodation of goals. 2023 goals. Yeah. The next year's goals. So future maintenance could go on our future goals. And I would recommend you stick in a system of prior goals. Like 24 goals. And it's current. So it's not just a... There's future goals. Like what are we going to do in the next year? And then there's long-term future goals. And what's going to need to happen in the garden over the next two to ten years? Yeah. I'm not sure. So what are our goals for next year? Well, that's what's to be determined by this one. Okay. Okay. So are you saying that this is incomplete at the moment? So, and you want what added? Do we begin already? Yeah. The fact that we're adding going to that. Okay. So we were going to add the things to the table. The table. Right. To the ground. It is... You want more clarification and more consistency. If I'm understanding you right. Is that... Yes. So we need to add in events. I mean, if you're asking me specifically what I'm suggesting we add in. Well, we need events. We need... Well, you have to open houses and art walk. Yeah, sure. You understand. That's a full point. You want to specify or list like we did in last year's report. I don't think we need to... It's probably last year exactly. No, it's not. That's kind of why I condensed some of the things because it still covers everything. But, you know, when I was going through it, I just thought future goals, you know, we'll just do that. Well, is this report real report or is it the thoughts report thing? No, I guess it's the... I thought it was the president's report. It is. So, if you're just saying this is the way you want to write it, because this is just going to be for you. Well, I mean, I don't want to miss anything, but I'm not saying we have to match exactly last year. I don't know what I'm asking for. Is there anything missing from this? I agree with you. I think you definitely should add the columns for the years on the tables here. But is there anything else missing? You know, a goal is something you may not have done before. We have done the open houses and all these other things before. So, in my mind, it's a given that that's something we're going to continue or a decision that the board will make in the future. I don't know that you need to reiterate that under your... What's going to happen? What? You mean the activities that have been done or what's going to happen? I'm just saying, I don't know that you need to list them again as future goals. Other things that are going to happen. I'm just saying here, the thing Karen's point is that when she's putting together an invitation for grants or if she's collating historical information, it's much easier to do if it's in basically the same format from year to year. That's something I just know having done during the last year. That's just the format. Yeah, basically the format. Doing it last year, putting all three years together and going back and tearing my hair out, trying to figure it out. Well, I didn't think it was just the president's report because this is our president. This is, yes, the chairperson is presenting it, but it really is a board report to the city council. It's not officially in our charter, it is a board report. It's a board report that the chairperson is supposed to do, but it is a communication from the board. So that's why both Karen's were involved and I was involved in writing. I just didn't write it myself. It was a combination factor of how we did it. I also think under future goals we should add what we're working on and that is our future goal is to achieve the club affair. We're hoping that it's going to happen, but I don't see club affair on here either. Is that the actual goal? It is a short-term goal. It is a short-term goal of what we would like to achieve in 2024. To me, that would be quite an achievement if we can get that together and do that, and now it is a short-term goal. And so I understand... Doesn't that happen every year though? No. I'm just saying it's a grandiose goal. The goal is to get more clubs followed. So instead of saying it's a club affair, make it our overall goal is to get more clubs to have more clubs. Because club affair is more to help them get more members. We charge them for a table. So that kind of isn't the same as our goal of getting more clubs to come here and use our... It's more an achievement than just for those clubs to get members. It's community support. Club affair itself is mainly for those clubs to rent a table from us and advertise their club to get more. It is. It does that, but it also highlights what we do, and it does our community outreach, which we need for grants. That's another reason why it needs to be stated because we're doing grant purposes. So then you can say, look, we showed this to City Council. They're aware of this is what we're going on and we're still short on time. We're going to write a grant. Could you please help us? Yeah, we have a documentation of a report that was sent and presented. And the City is aware, but they do not have the funds for this. And we have asked. We asked nicely for several years, but they said no. And that's what normally when you're doing a grant, you need to prove that you've asked. You've got to have the documentation. We're also proving how your organization is supporting the love bond community. And you know, so there's so many. And the best way I can explain this is it would take me sitting down and reading through the application requirements of the grant. And if you did that, then you remember maybe that this is part of that, a component of that. So really for so many reasons. Well, now we do have on here continue to preserve funding for preservation and restoration programs. So we're continuing to prove. So that is touched on here on future goals. But how have you shown that you have a fund supporting that will reach down? Well, is that necessary? It is absolutely necessary. We're not writing a grant here. No, but we will be. We are writing a grant, but we have to document it. This documentation supports it. So it's really, for the good of everybody, in particular the grant, right? With this information feed. And I think with your help with that to write that section of it. Sure. Because you know the wording you want to use there. You're better at it. Obviously. So specifically, we're wanting to add a future goal. And is that covered what we've discussed? Mostly. I think it's okay. We'll go ahead and meet. I'll put together what I'm suggesting. And we can present it back to the board in January. So we need to get this pretty much done this year. So it'll have to be in December. We actually didn't give the board the report in till January. So we could need one more time and have it finally look at it at the January meeting. And it should not be in January. So that's what we're going to consider. That's the plan. Because we don't really have that information. Yeah. So I think the wording, you can look and say, okay, I think we've got it in January. And then we kind of add to it. And we'll try to have those numbers right after. That's exactly it. That's the things we can do. That's why we're waiting to do the numbers so that they don't act out. Yeah. So I know you are hopefully not planning a huge trip or anything. But if you could possibly go to the January meeting and hear if our viewers can travel to places that are warm exactly. I'm just going to say you're going to be in Hawaii or some place. We should take us with us. Okay. So let's try to get it balanced enough that we can maybe complete it. It's not a big deal. So we want to add the video to people's. And that's part of the plan. I know we have, you know, if it can't be at every meeting. This is about two months ahead. Yeah. Do you would it be helpful to have it together like a more robust list of events for that section? Okay. Okay. I can send that. I'll just hold it. I have a telecom here. Okay. The report. For ASL copy. Okay. Outside of the packet. You just wanted the word document. Okay. That's a working document. Yeah. Probably should kind of turn up the steamer. Alrighty. So that's still work. I just put needs work. Okay. Okay. New business. Looks like we have a few things here. House inventory number. He kind of started this. He made some good points last time. We don't know where to paint this. We don't. In the past, the boards always been responsible to help doing the inventory. And I think it's important that we continue to do so. I know it's been kind of taken over by staff, but I, I believe there are lists and I think we as a board should know what's in the house and what we're doing because we've stopped doing that inventory. We don't know where everything is and we have art pieces and other things that are missing and have been inquired about. And I think it's at least from this point the board should be aware of the inventory and we should have the inventory list and look at it every year. Besides it's fun. You discover things that you didn't know. That's a really important part. Yeah. So I found a list from last year. I would love to do that. I would say let's talk about that in January. Okay. Okay. Perfect. It was in the past years prior to other things it's always been the full board that came and got together and did that and personally I know some people think it is a chore I think of it as a gift to recognize, truly recognize what all we have in this house and then we can speak to it personally. So Jen and that will be obviously computerized so it seems to be amazing. It is now. So I'll just check it off if it's still incorporated. Let's add it to the packet for January. To the what? The list to the packet. Okay. Now we'll give the inventory in the shed There's a shed down there. You gotta be careful. There's one of them in it. We know that. What we did before was we took the list and divided it up when we were doing this. It looks like it's set up room by room. Did that work well before? Yeah it did.  One question I have about the inventory is if it's something that was donated is that indicated there or is it not necessary? Does it go in a different spot where we have our donations list? I think if it's in the house it should be on the inventory. We can check off if it's a donation but I definitely think it's in the house and it's going to stay in the logs here now. I think the history of things coming and going being associated with the inventory list is a good plan moving forward. Yeah. Is there a place for it? Yeah. Yeah because that's otherwise like the picture that is missing was the donation but it still should be inventory. So we're going to set the date in January not necessarily do it in January but act. Don't forget to organize it on the Saturday. Items from STAF STAF related I have some things unless you're off. I'm in. She's had some success. I failed. It's still in there but we'll see. It's still in there. We did have a movie company come out that did a diagnostics we'll say on it and kind of did a little test trying to see if they could remove a part that is causing it to not fit and they had part of the event yeah and they had what they feel is success and so I'm going to put them to reach back out to set a time to try and move it. So say try and move it but they feel like they should be able to move it. They'll take the old line. Yes. What are they going to do with you? I don't know. No. You want it? I wanted it there where the cell is. I don't know what they do with the old line but there's scrap metal. Wow. Yeah. Then the question of will it connect is there any concern about connecting? Not that I knew about it. I think we talked about who was going to like if they might have something else about it. You're just going to make it work. You're just going to make it work. Someone else will disconnect it and reconnect it not the moving part. I just had my chorus redone and I had to move my big biking and shift it and that was they called it the beast. So the company did the diagnostics and take a part off of it. Is that an oven company or a meat company? And everybody is going above and beyond for us to try to move this out. He made several trips to went to the hardware store and got them to roll in a bunch. I appreciate their efforts and hopefully we'll put them on our purpose. Yeah. That's kind of part of a larger project of getting our house in order to I don't think it's like a safe piece of trume off the door because we've done it and we've always wanted to. It goes beyond that. We'd rather I love the fact that there's a plan. They are experts. So that's wonderful to get on it. Hopefully down the road we can think about different ways to store the tables and what not. Their energy is kind of with that space cleaned up and we're working on cleaning up the upper floor and the basement of our house as well to create more viable storage and have things organized a little more. So yeah, it would be a good long term project but it's future goals. Yeah. So yeah. That also I just figured I would put this out there. Does anyone know where to get more of the books printed the Calhann book? We only have one copy left of the large print. Wow. You have not done any digging on it so there may be some information but I just figured I'd ask if anybody knew where those came from. What I'm going to start with is to get wrongs from printing. There's no longer wrongs but they used to do a lot of sitting. There's a copyright it's inside that book you can see it. It would take Alasen and the printing company to get permissions to print one of those. So the folks that wrote it had it printed and we purchased from them. We didn't purchase those. We gifted them to the house. It's paid for all of the printing and so we're sure it's connected with them. So Alasen is not printing well? No she's not. I don't know if that's how printing companies in business is going to go. So we have a little bit of a copyright We're going to delete the Eastern Okay смHN And just reach out to legal instead of reaching out to the Armed Databiquities those guys in the CCC They'll have that Yeah I'll talk to inner here She had asked her if she had any of her materials so she'd be willing to provide or share those with us. And she said she'd apologize but she lost all of their materials in the flood. And I asked her if she'd be willing to allow us to copy the books and at the time she said I'm not comfortable with that. So it was given to us and we can sell them but we can't recopy them. So what would our option be is to create our own book. I mean we really should have something. If we're going to have a book that needs to be replenished we should have it set up. And that would make sure it caught me in the existence. Well just say here's what we're looking at, here's what we want to do. Let's let them look at the legal ramifications. So we understand from our own kind of what we're looking at so we can go back to them hopefully depending on health and our circumstances. And at least we understand our footing on that. I mean I'm sure they don't want us to not be successful with it I'm sure but at the same time they did the work. I get it. So let's understand. Copyright is real. I'll be very quick. She's in a nursing home in Denver and her nephew is an animal in her affairs. So I don't know how cognitively she is. Okay. Well if she has a power of attorney that would be the person to come. Right. But again both of us are getting into the other areas. We'll start with our... That'll be interesting to see what they can say. I'm sure we're doing the right thing. Definitely. I don't know if this is relevant or not but the used bookstores in town get things like that. And I don't know if we can put our names in and say call us if you get the smoke in. Whether we resell them or not. I don't know but it would maybe get us some out. But I think going forward we should have something we can replenish as needed. Yeah. So we should have somebody donate or we want to try out the coffee related eventually. So one question I have has something to do with producing another one of the futures. Was the content developed by Rosalind or that she just printed it and paid for the printing? All of the research. All of the content. She even did the research. That's big. They did all the work. So that's why this is kind of sensitive. Yeah. They did all of that work. It's a work of... Thank you for that background information. I'll see you. Sorry. Yeah. That'll be interesting to see where that goes. Yeah. Yeah. It's myself. Last thing I have. We talked about this a little bit at the last meeting. I did get the measurements from this. I don't know if you saw this one, Karen, but the measurements from... So it does fit very nicely in that spot. I don't know. What about the height? Yeah, height. It's not going without... Did you... Now there's a few inches. Hold the frame. Did you see it, Karen? So I don't know if we're interested in it or not. It does fit. That was the kind of the question that we have lingering. The other question that the person that's willing to donate... I'd said before, it's Jacqueline's mother's. They're wondering, because the other question that we had is if it can be tuned. And so they're wondering if that's something that we would pay to find out or they would pay to find out. I assume that they would need to pay to find that out. But that was... Have you seen it in question? I don't know if it's... I guess I'll start looking at them. Traumatized. I don't know. Because it's only one. If you have it find out, it's one of them. It's two of them. They don't even know yet. Yeah, I think they have to pay for that service. Find out if it can be tuned. Yeah. As opposed to tuning, so hopefully. If it can be tuned, maybe. If it's not paid. So $100 to find out. I wish... Yeah, yeah. Chris Dingers and my wife was still open. We used that too. Yeah. I would count on you. But depending on the cost, we might be willing to pay for it. We might cover that if it can be tuned. Okay. And I asked what year that piano was from? It's circa 1900. Okay, so it's the right size. It's the right size. Yeah. It's a smething that's smart. It's notorious and upright. Yeah. So it's certainly a period of appropriate. I don't know about... This is all I've seen of it. So I don't know how... I'm actually... It's in good condition. I don't know if it's in good actual condition. Could we have a condition? You or maybe a team from here actually take a look at it. I think that would be... Do that first before we put any money into it. Yeah. Just kind of make a trip. And how far away is it? I mean, where is it? That's not too far away. Where is it? Room filled. I would say maybe we could... A couple of people want to volunteer to take a look at it. Okay. Before we make a decision. Kind of like that. I would imagine there would be a tendency to want to help... I mean to accept something from someone on our staff because it would be nicer to do that. The only thing I'm wondering is it would be less expense and less uncertainty if you look for a piano that they claim it has been tuned and it's, you know, it's tunable and they have tuned it. So then you don't pay for that. You don't have the question. And it's also free. Does anybody here believe in piano? Yeah. Because, you know, if we did send some people to look at it and see if we can run a few chords on it and see what it sounds like. Yeah. Kind of tell. Kind of tell. Yeah. And I think... Like we had talked about in the last meeting, if we want to hold out for one that's perfect if that's possible. I don't know if that's possible to find. But, you know, I think still keeping looking while we're debating this one is a good idea. Well, I've seen some of that one. Possibilities. I just haven't brought it up because I figured we had so many other things going on. But I do see some that are in great shape and they've been tuned. I think that's correct. And they're free. I think that's correct. Free. We have to pay to move on. Right. Which would be the same as this one. Yeah. I mean, it would be so nice to accept something from Javelin fans. Javelin family. Yeah. But if you're thinking, you know, how much do we still have to do? And is it still going to be... Is it going to be a good piano that you can play? Yeah. I think it is. It might be a great opportunity, but we shouldn't feel frustrated. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Connection. Right. Right. But it doesn't have to be concert quality. You know what I mean? In other words, this one... Oh, just so... Honestly, I disagree. I think it should be at least playable. Well, playable, but I meant... No. Right. But so if we have somebody that wants to do recital, we can do that. Yeah. And that's why it can't just be marginal. It's one of those things we pay... Or requesters pay to get the piano upstairs and in good conditions so that concert pianists could play on it. It is an instrument. And I just think that we try to get the best type of instrument here. Why don't you get a piano? Yeah. You don't want to play a piano. You don't want to play a piano. It should be... I'm right, but maybe this is, or maybe this isn't. I've got some things now. I've got some things now. Yeah. That's why I said we should look at it. The other question was the bench. It does not have the original bench. There is a bench, but it's not the original bench. So that was a good question. So the bench that has it is it period or is it a... I'm not totally sure. It's slightly picture there, but... Okay. I think we've talked about that in January, but we need to come before we make any really Yeah. Can we postpone this to January? I guess my head's swimming at the moment. I can't get a couple of people. Do they have a timeline? So I felt like last time it was... Yeah, we missed it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think it's as soon as possible because they're looking to their leading to have it moved. I'll ask about a time for people to go and see it. Do... Let me ask you guys this in the interest of some experience. It sounds like maybe you two... You've been seeing pianos. You played. Maybe the two of you would go with Brittany and take a look. Is that any thoughts on that? Sure. It works for me. Sure. And we don't need to maybe wait for the meeting, but I obviously post holidays. So maybe you can set something up with these guys. Just contact the two of them after the first of the year and just plan a build trip. You can take a city vehicle and do such. Sounds good. That sounds good to me. Yeah, that sounds good to me. But as long as we're in agreement that we're not just going to put a piano here. We're going to look for a quality. Yeah. We're not in the... That's our expectation also. Yeah. We're not very impressed with something in here. So they'll just be her friends. They look at it and say, you know, I think... But they just want to know. She knew we were looking for one. And they have one. But they get to... So it's certainly very appropriate.  Or it might be one of the people. Is there any of you looking to the tune or the impossible? Okay. Is it tune? Yeah. Okay. So first we'll send some people down there just to visually. And then if you're interested, we'll look at it. Okay. Let's do that. Okay. That was all I had for staff items in this time. Okay. Okay. About the board. Any interesting information or tidbits to bring? I thought it was interesting. Did Connie Newman send us an email about... And a congratulation about our article in the Times Hall. And she just wanted to reach out to the whole board. She doesn't have everything as adverse as I spoke. Certain ones. We got it. You saw that email. Karen, did you see that email? She also read us the... Not the whole article, but the one that just advertised in the open house. She read us the open house by Strava, which is nice. I just wanted to state that it was very fun. Yeah. She did that. And it's nice to have a past partner who's still reaching out and doing stuff. She also helped me in the music room when people were asking some questions. I didn't know. Sure. She has a lot of information. She has a great asset. I told her we had another opening coming. Yeah, when she came back. I think she's... Maybe in the future. She's still connected with her mother. Exactly. She goes to Texas with us. Speaking of a newspaper article, I looked around.  They did send us a digital version of the full article, but anybody has a chance to get a hard copy of Strava's. Otherwise, we can print it. Yeah, you can print it. Always my neighbor. She gets... Does anyone else get the paper? My neighbor does. You have a digital one? Okay. We've got the digital copy. But if anybody comes across and gets the hard copy, it's on top. Recycle it. I will try. Yeah. Recycling went out today. That would never be okay. It's possible. My neighbor would have thrown it out. I think your father might get a little bit of hope this year in getting it to the recycling bin. He's been driving me nuts. I should have said that. Yeah, you should have said that. But hopefully, he hasn't recycled it yet, but I will do that together with her. One other thing. In February, I just did a talk about that newspaper article. We're having big valentines. Yeah, that's the city putting that on, right? No, it's me. It's a little bit interesting. It looks very interesting. Yeah. And actually, I have a constant contact about ready to go. I'm probably going out today to the Calhann group. But it was in the brochure and it's been advertised by the city, but we'll have a Calhann group going out. Do you volunteer for one? Sure. Yeah, we would probably... I would take help if you're interested. And it's the first year, so basically our first community program of 2024. So a bit of a trial run, but we hope it will be successful. And the idea... So I've reached out to a couple of bakeries. The idea is hopefully we can eat the food donated or heavily discounted so that our, you know... Profits... Fundraising margin on the event is better. So that's the idea. And in exchange for preferred vendor status and an advertise event at the event. Will it be upstairs where there's a big room? No. So it's afternoon tea, which will be here. And then upstairs will be the Victorian Calhann time crowd. So it'll be like down here for a team. Up there to go more... Exactly.  You know, hopefully a handful of opportunities throughout the year for the public to come in for ticket, probably mostly ticketed events, but experience Calhann House in a different way that they haven't in the past, you know. Oh, that's nice. I suppose just coming to a wedding or an open house. Can I say... What do you think of that? Amazing. That's fabulous. Well, thanks. Wow. See how it goes. But we sold a few tickets. That's a whole new question. Are you getting our spots? Yeah, we've sold a few tickets. And I think it just got advertised. So I think there's only 36 seats. So it's a small event. And hopefully it'll sell out. And hopefully you get those new people. Yeah.  And I was like, well... That's a matter of fact. And then they signed up for the newsletter, which then they'll give you a duration. So it's February. I'm going to advertise it pretty heavily now and in January. Yeah, there's... So it's been advertised. I saw the first one. Yeah, we'll send out another one to our list because tickets are now available as of right a week or so ago. So yeah. And then we'll advertise it more, of course. Okay, then closer to Valentine's Day. I think the date is February 11th. So it's just before Valentine's Day. Have you read about a waffle breakfast? No. Or are you going to be on the stairs? It's a picture of stairs. She used to do waffle past Valentine's Day. Yes, okay. Out in the gardens and we've done two at the one we need. Okay. And then we've switched to ice cream socials. Oh, yeah. Waffle breakfast out in the gardens was really hit, cool. Okay. Wow. When did that, when in the year did that usually take place? Um, somewhere... It was a parc, it was a parc. Yeah, it was a parc. Yeah, yeah. It's what it has, it's snow stormy in there. I was like, how did this all happen? It started on. Yeah, how cool. Put a candle on the table and you're like, warm. Great idea. It's really special. It's like a hurry. Yeah, if anybody has ideas, I think I'd like to do like a gardening seminar in the spring, in the garden. And then for October, we want to do like a murder mystery dinner. Oh, that would be so neat. Somebody come in and do like terror readings and commerce. I mean, just kind of fun, fun opportunities for people to engage and feel, maybe we do like tea with Alice Calian and we get the legendary ladies to come out. Oh, that would be amazing. I had hope to do that we could have set the legendary ladies on a task and they like to do this, to go and do all the research and become the character. Yeah. Do you have any ideas? Don't be shy. So we have you and Alice. Do you want to talk to them? Yes. She came to the open house and we finally met face to face. She said it's like a ticket for me which is very nice to go to their open house tomorrow. And then we're going to connect with her and Luella who is the director of Hover Home and then we'll go from there and see what we can put together for the chamber and it's kind of wonderful. Nice. Yes. Excellent. Merging my two special things. Yes, exactly. She's worth a lot at Hover Home. Yeah, it's just, you know, you only did it to make her happy, right? You're right. This is for a holiday gift. Woo! Yeah. So another item from the board is the communication that goes out in the llama. I mean, I don't know if any of you saw this. I don't know if any of you saw this. I don't know. That comes to me. I don't know. It gets mailed to you. I don't know that. Yes, it gets mailed to you. I get a recreation one. I can get that. But anyway, it includes a calendar of things to do in November and December. Level things. And, well, we are not on it. That is my point. Because, you know, obviously they've got the llama gift of home tour that proceeds to benefit the Habitat for Humanity. They've got the holiday show, the Llama Museum's holiday show. They've got so many things listed. They've got the holiday open house at the Hoover Senior Living. They've got long lights. We're just there to come from. I'm going to give this to you so you can have that answer. I've not seen that magazine. It is the Times Call. Yes, it is. Well, we subscribe to that Times Call. And that's what they charge extra if you subscribe to the paper. Oh, I don't get the paper. Yes, I do pay extra to have it. You should do so. I've already subscribed to the paper, but it actually gets mailed to you. Did it just come? It came earlier. I guess it's for November and December. My point is I don't know, but the museum is in here.  So the museum they should reach out to us. Our historic property. We don't know. My point is this is one other opportunity that exists in the Llama Museums in there. And the holiday life is about part-time. I would not say that, but I think there's opportunity that we need to bridge our communication lines.  And so well, this is a huge opportunity for next year. I bet your deadline is like June. Yeah. How frequently did you publish them? That's a good question. I've got the same tickets at least quarterly every couple of months. I'm going to see it. They have special things inside. You didn't see us at all in there? Yeah. And I think again, it's just more of a matter of let's make sure our communication we should call us. I'm hearing something we didn't know about is not seamless. We just didn't know. Exactly. What I'm saying is our communication with time to call needs to be more seamless. And that's really it. I wish that was too much. Now I have that connection. That's amazing. It says we're more strong but we're not. Well, the other thing is I'm not worried about is that there's not many people. Exactly. But then another separate note something that I like that the museum does is they have friends of the Lamont Museum where they ask you to donate and you donate whatever your amount is and you are considered a friend of the museum. I'm wondering if we can begin to do sort of type of thing that the Cal Head House is a similar fundraiser that's kind of an ongoing thing. We did post that around in the past years ago. It's city property so we're we're not outside the scope of what the city's allowed to or does do. Donate or practice? You know what? We have to talk in different ways and there's friends in the library and there's friends in the offices that are friends at the museum. They can operate different ways in different places. They're they don't operate like boards because they're not affiliated but they're not the responsibilities are different. That particular run operates as a foundation because there's a lot of numbers. Right. If it's something this group is interested in getting involved with, we can look at that for sure. I wouldn't stop us from looking at such a thing. So there's part of all of the division in the city that is friends and they have their different... It's not within the city. I don't know a lot of them because immigration doesn't have friends. Lots of friends. They're called members of the recreation. They're actually called pass holders. Pass holders? Yes. You have lots of friends. They're definitely... It's something that's commonly done. So I want to look at that and I'll get you in touch and you can look at probably I think a better version of it might be senior services. I don't know. This is the museum. Museum, yeah, they have a lot. But they didn't probably say that. Museum is different because of how I've got going and the folks involved and the stewards and how it's large amounts of money from the operations and foundation just becomes a whole kind of different thing. And if you did something like that how do you distinguish someone who just donates online from someone who is a friend? I mean is that two different channels of donations? Yes. Probably. The difference between one kind of donation and being sort of a sisterly member but I don't know about pay. I remember right, I think you can for friends at museum if you pay like a annual $35 or something very little. Then you are considered a friend of the museum. So it's not the level that I'm freaking about. So it's a high level but it is far their community. But what do you just go into the the your friend of the museum for that year? If you don't need to follow your friends at the museum. There's a board associated with it too. Which is not this. Oh wow. There's a board for friends and then there's a regular board. Do they get like discounted museum entry? Discounted. You can go into the museum anytime. What types? What types? What types? What types? What types? What types? All the funds just go straight into the Calhoun House fund. That would be the point. Remember the Calhoun House fund is intended to maintain the historic integrity of that house. Friends funds sit in different because that board is completely they have the power over those dollars. I guess I'm looking at a different version of the two inch sword on my head. I'm going to say that I'm going to look at it differently is in the same you could be a friend of the Calhoun House and come to a special event and if you donated we have a special event for you. I don't think we create a separate board that just handles that. We just acknowledge that as special donors. This is a board. This is a whole thing. I think we could do it's not either one is out of the realm of being able to do it's just I don't know Well I think it's the listing of it. Personally I can think of it as a separate board. I would look at it as a thank you and we have a special event for see you get this lovely thing in the mail you get a hold of it you get a feeling and say oh look at this look at that they're doing this and they get I get this because I donated $20 or $25 or what a nominal amount for the upkeep of the house and then they get that request every year at a certain time is that what kind of what you're thinking that's an example that I'm thinking we could incorporate or 5% discount on your result but but are and I'm asking specifically part of you so like I said there are kind of two different sorts of angles that we're looking at are you thinking what Marine is talking about or are you thinking a friends group that would be a separate supporter outside of this board that would be it's own thing not what they have but senior services has with wider hands I think this board is perfectly capable of managing handling okay so let's this would be for the purpose of that's essentially a fundraising annual campaign you're going but utilizing but utilizing some of these but it is not going thing it's something that can change from year to year and grow and develop something much larger than that can be addressed as far as managing that but it is just another opportunity for outreach to the community to remind them about what the California House is why it is here and how supporting our community and not I think that this highlights so and it's personal and it's dear care and we can do that to me it's like okay I'm against this society and I'm going to donate to this and PBS and the water girls and now I'm going to have the California House for a year this is having this piece of paper is a great thing and we can ask would you like to be a friend friend of the California House I wouldn't use friend just because it's a separate thing well it doesn't have to be I would say let us go back I think the three of us need to check with museum on this which is easy peasy maybe we need to brainstorm a different language then if you don't let us find that the Longmont Community Foundation has partners and Seagate we are always a partner although partners sounds a little formal for gas house but we can tweet the data at least as well they have supporters for the same grade historical society too and she sends a newsletter probably four times a year so that would be your tangible a specific person but you can ask her how that goes and they've got families single, senior, different categories now do they mail a newsletter or is it electronic they mail it it would help to be electronic it would be cheaper you could make it look just like a paper other question do we see these funds going into the Callahan Hills? yes that would be the purpose fund raising would go into the Callahan Hills fund and that's for the purpose so maybe the friends if there is some kind of communication with them at the end of the year something some offshoot of the annual report but something that would tell them this is what we accomplished this year since you helped us now are we considered a non-profit? no they can't use it as a text well I'll get it to be a non-profit we're going to attack fight this we're going to attack the city the people making donations the city is not a non-profit but the city doesn't deal with taxes we don't charge ourselves tax we don't collect tax we don't pay tax there are times when we do grants they've kind of changed this now but we think this is here but like the alcohol permits because we didn't have we weren't a non-profit we couldn't even go get our own alcohol we had to law my visitors association to do that so yeah it's not a non-profit sometimes we're with non-profits but we can certainly accept donations we can do it we can accept it but I'm wondering if the people will ask the question can I deduct this on an equal tax that's what you're asking actually you can that's what you're asking that's what you're asking pretty sure I think it's something like talk to your tax advisor that's the right way to go that's a key cut this is probably more talk to your person it's hard to become a non-profit I mean you have to go you don't need to that would be the friends that would be the friends I know I'm not proud to do that I started a non-profit recovery cafe and so I don't have to if we ever wanted to do a 501c2 yeah I did a 501c2 application well anyway it's kind of a draw for people to say oh this is a tax deduction but we can tell them what they donate to the California House is tax deductible but they need to speak with their tax advisor we have a little form that we get though yes no goods of services were you know a change for this monetary donation I didn't think unless it was a declared non-profit I didn't think it would be tax deductible but I don't know taxes that well think I don't know he's terrible we'll look into this I think it's an interesting idea alright very good let's see where are we that was from the board of future agenda items we have e-blast content yeah that's just remained here as an open invitation anybody wants to put together historical content or tidbits about the house to share on the California specific contact and so that's always open I don't know if we want to continue to move it on here I think it's okay because it is like I think a lot of times we'll be so in the middle of something we'll forget to be thinking in looking ahead and I think that it's helpful to have a minor think ahead is there something that we need to communicate to or is there something we'd like to get out that's very special so we're always going to be taking care of events and things like that but if anybody wants to submit content you're talking about historical information tidbits can't just just brought up the waffle thing that was something I had no idea I don't have a memory or association with that that's one of those little did you know that we used to do this I mean to me that's interesting to get started on something that happened long enough ago maybe there's a photo that really looks kind of vintagey of that that's been with it there's a lot of breakfast my husband's grandmother would that be a great thing to me that's an interesting chip but you know what else when we do our inventory I bet you interesting stories are going to come out and things about the things we find that maybe that'll be just trivial things that bring you a smile to your face I particularly liked the e-last because it tracked the shy history all right there you were famous in several places and I'm sure I've been famous in several places I wasn't exaggerating I'm definitely a family yeah well I think there was one Mary in there also well anyway as always that's open we can just leave it on here if anybody wants to put it together and if you ever need access to scrapbooks just let me know they're here speaking of the scrapbooks that was a big hit having those out at the that's what he said it was a huge huge it was huge people loved it I was you know at first I was like oh no but people were respectful of it and we didn't have like we kept the first one we kept the first one away because there are things that actually are in here that along with the museum archives that was the other portion of that I put out to the museum after the scrapbook digitization is if portions of those might live in archives eventually the first one meaning the very first the very first one contains some content that I believe there is something that we would you know that needs to be in the archives any other comments or subjects to bring up we're early today 10-20 okay should we adjourn? I make motion that we adjourn I second All in favor? We're adjourned
