Hi, my name's Leon Roeb currency trader and trading coach at trading 180.com and in this video I wanted to answer the question regarding can you swing trade forex successively without fundamental or risk sentiment analysis and The answer that typically follows that from technical analysis traders Is that all you got to do is follow the trend right so higher highs higher lows in combination with With trend indicators, right? So it's just a case of if you see, you know something like this occur Higher high higher low like that, right?  And then that's really what you're looking to do and as long as whatever said indicator is You know, whether it's a moving average whether it's some sort of any at wave, you know You know abcd wave or 1 2 3 4 5 Then that's pretty much all you need to do But I would then ask the question well How do you know if the trend is likely to continue because you know trends don't continue for continue forever, right? You might see the trend what happens is with especially with swing trading You know and on something like a daily timeframe chart and looking out The traders will see the trend after it's made maybe about, you know Maybe a 500 600 800 pit move and then all of a sudden then they want to start jumping in on the pullback, right? and prices might pull back but You know, how are you going to? You know, know whether that's likely to continue. Yeah, likely to continue because ultimately that's what you're gambling on and Also, how do you know whether price is pulling back or if it's actually the beginning of a reversal right because you have situations Where you can have, you know pullbacks Complex pullbacks if you want to call it complex pullback But pullback that might look something like this and it might bounce off of there And then maybe you know come down to maybe something like this Maybe a demand zone down there and then all of a sudden made lower highs lower lows traders might think oh well That's you know, this is is this a reversal or it's just that just a deep pullback, right? And then you might see, you know prices start to make new highs or even prices might come down even deeper, right? It's something like a sixty one point eight percent fib, right? How do you know whether prices? That's just a deep pullback or in fact that that is a reversal, yeah, and so It's very very difficult to just tell from price and you wouldn't be watching this video if you didn't have those same questions, right? And so, you know for your information price does not move simply for the sake of moving right buyers and sellers Within the forex market or any market right any asset class buyers and sellers don't buy and sell assets in large Quantities for no absolutely no reason, you know that's it to have a market that just people are speculating on without no sort of concepts of of value is You know is is is crazy to me is that it doesn't exist, right? You have to have when you have a market that has to be value associated with that market and Fundamental analysis of any asset class is really understanding the current and future potential value of an asset and so What you don't want to do is confuse price with value Yeah, so assets have varying degrees of cheap or are varying degrees of cheap expensive or fair value. Yeah, so You know, otherwise if price was always indicative of its value then Then we would never have an asset that is undervalued or overvalued it and it would never have anything that is cheap or expensive because the price is what it is and You know, you would just say well, that's the value but that doesn't make any sense So, you know, if if you bought a Ferrari someone sold you a Ferrari for for a pound Would you say well, that's the value of the Ferrari? No, you know intrinsically that the Ferrari has an actual value because Fundamental value because of the engineering that's gone into it the materials that's been used on it, etc so everything has a value and so Price, yeah is not always its value, right? So Don't confuse price with value And in the forex world value is determined by interest rates Yeah, so central bank monetary policy inflation and GDP as well as risk sentiment And this is according to the financial institutions who are doing business in forex, right? It's not, you know, Leon Rose in this. This is these are the banks that determine the value of An exchange rate of a currency one currency against another because currencies are trading in pairs And so, you know, you look at examples Like this from from a bank. This is from MUFG Japanese bank. This is the eurozone rate market has moved to aggressively payback expectations for further rate hike This is the fundamental analysis. So it talks about dovish policy monetary policy updates from the Bank of Canada Bank of England in the Fed the Bank of Canada kicked off the dovish dovish repricing by pausing their hiking cycle last week again interest rates pausing the hiking cycle. Yeah, so You know, this is Citibank. So, you know Citibank say on growth So GDP the UK lags with the slowest recovery to pre-pandemic levels of real GDP Future of UK's business model in a post-Brexit world talking about the effects of Brexit on GDP. This is another bank That talks about, you know, this follows the Bank of England Bank of England in December's meeting Etc etc etc and you can read, you know, them talking about why their targets, you know Within the next 12 months versus the euro the pound versus the euro would be, you know, 0.88 cent In that at that price or that exchange rate, yeah And it's not to do with, you know, well price We're just speculating on price and what we see that what they see on the chart price does play a role But the value is what drives price over the medium to long-term in the short-term price is really kind of driven by or typically driven by Liquidity and market makers etc. And there is speculation, but the market is not for, you know, secondary Speculation is secondary. The market is really for big businesses like the banks to do business And exchange in currencies, right? And so Fundamental analysis really is trading alongside the financial institutions. If you don't use Fundamental analysis when you're swing trading, it's you're basically just flipping a coin and it's pretty worse than flipping a coin Right because many traders as you know swing trading was all it was cracked up to be and the easy as it was you again You wouldn't be watching this video So there was definitely something missing in your trading, right? And it is fundamental analysis and one of the ways just one of the ways that you can Use I guess the banks and what they release in their fundamental analysis in a bit of a shortcut is to use kind of bank Forecasts as as a guiding light.  Yeah, as your Is your guide so That way you know that even if you don't necessarily fully understand the fundamentals which I highly recommend you do the banks are actually showing you or telling or forecasting what they think is going to happen with that exchange rate now Does it mean that, you know, they're going to be 100% right all the time? No, no one has a crystal ball And these are forecasts forecasts are not predictions There's a difference forecasting is not predicting predicting deals with Absolutes, you know, I predict that tomorrow it's going to rain and if it doesn't rain then I'm wrong Forecasting is what is likely to happen the probability of something happening, right? We're just forecasting the weather is a forecast, right? We forecast the weather because the weather can be, you know, is ever-changing and And that's why they call it a forecast anyways So what you want to do is find as many as you can bank forecasts Don't you know go with the with the the majority don't go with just one or two Go with maybe if you find 10 or 15 and then maybe, you know, maybe 10 of those 15 are saying that they Forecast the euro dollar to go higher, for example, then you go with the majority This isn't, you know, this is this is opposite to for example retail Trading where if most of retail are saying that they are short on the euro dollar, then you might want to go long the banks typically, you know, the create the market and so and they're doing business and so The majority of the banks are typically not wrong, right? They're not wrong They can be of course, but they're typically not wrong So you all you know as a rule of thumb you want to go with the majority of you know, the forecasts And so what you want to do is zoom out on a daily, you know, potentially weekly chart and then look where current price is relative to the forecasts, yeah, and so this is an example of the euro British pound where You have the forecast. In fact, what I'll do is I'll just go back to the euro pound and we saw a for example of forecast on the Euro pound right here for the first quarter we had a And an exchange rate forecast of zero point eight nine in the second quarter We still have, you know, zero point eight nine and it looks like it's going maybe, you know About a hundred pips higher, right? So we have at least two quarters where we should be at the zero point eight nine's at some point. So then On a price chart what you want to do is look at where you are relative to the To the forecast at the time, right? So if you're at zero point eight nine Yeah, at the time of taking the trade, which is right here Yeah, then then you know that you probably don't want to you know, take that trade anywhere around there But let's say for example, you're around the zero point eight sevens Then you know that you've got at least a few hundred pips to two and a half to two hundred fifty pips You know to the upside Yeah, if prices come down right because ultimately this is seen as the potential for a bargain If this is seen as the forecast of where prices may be Yeah, so you want to look at where you are. Yeah in relation to the current Forecasts as well as the upcoming forecasts. Yeah, and so that is really kind of a bit of a shortcut way To understand, you know, whether you're gonna be on the right side of the market or not. Yeah But again, not, you know, you must say again, but please note That not all bank forecasts, you know are going to be up to date or relevant And so it's still important that you understand current fundamental and risk sentiment analysis because data changes and risk events Do occur, right? So there are surprises in the market with data. There are risk events, you know Who could have predicted COVID who could have predicted the Ukraine war? There are things that come out who could have predicted the Chinese balloon, right and whether that has an effect on on Prices and the US dollar at the moment doesn't look like it is but You have to have your finger on the pulse. Don't just blindly follow forecasts, of course It's a nice guide. It's an aid. It's some confluence But if you don't understand the reasons why then, you know, you might get caught out because if something Changes in the market and you're going on Maybe the forecast from you know from last week Then you're probably gonna get caught up because you're not aware of the changes the data needs to still support that narrative and so When swing trading what you want to do is look at the daily really as your as your overall You know to look where you are and you're doing your overall analysis and then Swing trading doesn't mean that you you know You can't go down into the lower time frames and look for an entry whether it's the one hour Whether it's the four hour if you have custom time frame charge you can go to six to the eight to the ten Etc and look for your your entries or if you just want to trade You know at the end of the day because you have a busy day with family work, etc Then that's fine, too Yeah, the entry doesn't really matter only really matters in terms of you know your potential Risk reward right and your upside potential but ultimately if you've got good to 300 pips To the upside and maybe you're only risking 50 60 70 pips Then you know that's still good risk reward and so profit targets You know to be based on Eva the bank forecasts coming You know true and correct and then being correct or just simply good risk reward, right? You might want to take it off takes a profit off just before you get to You know the bank forecasts Right if you're up a certain amount try your stops. However, you manage the trade or choose to manage the trade and so You know swing trading Forex successfully with fundamental resentment analysis, you know The reason why you use fundamental analysis is to recognize when you know exchange rates really are cheap Yeah, and to get in you can get in at the beginning of a potential trend and also obviously looking at where the banks are forecasting where price is and Your directional bias, which is you know first and foremost what you really want to understand what your directional bias should be and Also as well fundamentals gives you understanding, you know deep fundamentals not just forecast but understanding the deep fundamentals Gives you the confidence to hold trades for longer and you're less likely to take profits early, right? What's the point in taking profits? If you know that the fundamentals are in your favor and is likely to move You know, maybe a thousand pips in your direction at some point, right? You know, you don't want to look at your account and say what I'm up a two to one And then I wanted to just want to take you know profit That doesn't make any sense when you know What you want to do is ride the wave and ride the coattails of the of the banks And it's very hard to do that without Understanding the fundamentals if you're just trading price and hoping and praying again You're pretty much in the wilderness price is not going to tell you where where you know forecast where prices go and indicators might be right But they're only right simply because the banks You know the banks are saying that you know prices will go in that direction and as a result The indicators are looking at price and if then prices go in higher Excellent the indicator looks like it's working But ultimately those people who are technical traders don't understand the fact it wasn't indicated that was right It was the fact that they were you know inadvertently on unknowingly On the side with the with the banks, right because the banks create the market and they are the ones that are Going to move price in you know the direction Whether it's going to trend or whether it's going to range or what is known as a fair value auction And so also recognize, you know, it's important to recognize when using fundamentals and fundamentals can help you recognize when price is likely to be a Reversal or or just a pullback right so again data changes And so you might get in on a trend not knowing that fundamentally in fact There's been a total 180 in monetary policy and now it's become a You know the the market is moving against you so for example You could be on a you know see a really nice trend and then you could be thinking to so far I'm going to get in on this this this area here. This is a nicer demand zone But not knowing that in fact at this point in time. Yeah, maybe the European central bank the ECB have surprised the market Yeah, and said oh well, you know, we're we're gonna start cutting rates instead of hiking rates, right? And then you're thinking to yourself what the trend is still up the trend is still up, right? And I'm gonna buy here when you should really understand that there's no technical level in the world That's gonna work against fundamentals none. Absolutely. You might get a small little bounce But ultimately this is now turning into you can have confidence if you understand the fundamentals This is gonna turn into a total reversal rather than just looking at pullbacks And this is how traders get caught at levels, you know day in day out week in week out because they don't understand The the fundamentals side of things in the risk sentiment side of things as well And so Also as well the number of trades you take does not equate to that amount of profit You'll make swing trading should never be looked at as a bad thing just because you take maybe, you know Four or five trades a month doesn't mean you're gonna make any less money than someone who takes for 40 or 50 trades a month, right? It doesn't really matter because somebody can take, you know 100 trades that month and break even or even lose you could take, you know One or two trades that month and have and both of those trades could be winning trades So the number of trades you take does not equate to the amount of profit you'll make so don't think that swing trading is Any less profitable than something like day trading and if you want fundamental analysis mentoring and a lot more Visit trading 180 comm hope this helps and love to hear your feedback on it.


A Federal Judicial Center Orientation Program for United States District, Bankruptcy and Magistrate Judges. Judicial Ethics, Part 1. An overview of ethical rules in the federal judicial system and the role of the Codes of Conduct Committee with the Honorable A. Raymond Randolph of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and Chairman of the Judicial Conference Committee on Codes of Conduct and the Honorable Walter K. Stapleton of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and former chairman of the Committee on Codes of Conduct. This program was recorded on February 5, 1991 and updated on May 28, 1996. I am pleased to have this opportunity to introduce you to the Committee on Codes of Conduct and to highlight some of the judiciary's ethical guidelines. The committee's former chairman, Judge Walter K. Stapleton, prepared the videotape you were about to watch in 1991. Despite the passage of time, it still provides an excellent overview of ethical rules in the federal judicial system and an explanation of the role of the committee. However, since 1991, there have been a few developments that I want to bring to your attention. First, in September 1992, the Judicial Conference adopted certain amendments to the Codes of Conduct for United States Judges. Most of these amendments are in the nature of clarifications, and in any event, do not affect the information contained in Judge Stapleton's presentation. The Code of Conduct for United States Judges, as amended, is contained in Volume 2, Chapter 1 of the Guide to Judiciary Policies and Procedures, which Judge Stapleton discusses in more detail. More recently, in September 1995, the Judicial Conference adopted a new Code of Conduct for Judicial Employees, which took effect on January 1, 1996. The new Judicial Employees Code covers all judicial employees, except for a few discrete groups, and extends to members of the judge's personal staff. At the same time, the Judicial Conference adopted a revised Code of Conduct for Federal Public Defender Employees, which applies to all employees of federal public defender offices. These two new Codes of Conduct are published in Volume 2, Chapter 2 of the Guide. You might also want to direct your law clerks and secretaries to Chapter 2 of the Chamber's Handbook for Judges' Law Clerks and Secretaries, which deals with conduct, ethics, and protocol. Another significant development is the Committee's recent publication of a Compendium of Selected Opinions. This document summarizes the Committee's published and unpublished advisory opinions, which number more than 1,000. The Summaries cover a broad range of issues under the Code of Conduct for United States Judges and the Ethics Reform Act gift, honor area, and outside employment regulations. The Compendium Summaries of Committee Advice have proven to be an important resource for judges seeking ethical guidance. It is located in Volume 2, Chapter 5 of the Guide. I should also mention that you will find in the written materials that accompany this program a few updated references to chapter numbers and the like that have changed since 1991. After Judge Stapleton's presentation, I'll return with a few final words about how you can obtain additional guidance on ethical questions should you need it. Some years ago, when I became a district judge, I used to walk down the street and people passing would say, good morning, Your Honor. Invariably I would turn around and look behind me to see who they were speaking to. I felt very uncomfortable at first being addressed as Your Honor, but I soon came to realize how important it was that I accept that salutation. You will have many difficult cases to decide, but once you decide them, all you'll have to do is enter an order. You won't have to give any thought at all to how that order will be carried out. When you think about it, it's really quite remarkable. The judicial system works because the public voluntarily chooses to comply with its directives. They choose to comply in large part because of the respect they have for the judicial system of which you are now a part. This of that respect is essential to the mission of the Third Branch. As a result, Congress and the Judicial Conference of the United States have established special rules that you and I must scrupulously observe. My purpose today is not to review all of these rules with you, rather I hope to acquaint you with the various sets of rules that are applicable to your conduct and with the resources that are available to help you comply. The applicable rules have been collected for you in a red loose leaf book that's entitled Codes of Conduct for Judges and Judicial Employees. It's the second volume in a series of red notebooks entitled Guide to Judiciary Policies and Procedures. You have received that set or you soon will be receiving it from the Administrative Office. There is an invaluable resource and I urge that you keep it with an easy reach. The rules can be grouped in four categories. First, there are miscellaneous statutory prescriptions on your behavior, especially the disqualification statute and the 1989 Ethics Reform Act. Second, there is the Financial Disclosure Act and its requirements. Third, the Judicial Discipline Procedures. And fourth and finally the Code of Conduct for United States Judges. First, there are numerous prescriptions in titles 5, 18 and 28 of the United States Code. For the most part they prohibit things that you wouldn't think of doing anyway, but it's important that you be aware that they exist and I recommend that you read chapter 5 of the red book to know what they are. They prohibit things like practicing law, appointing your relatives to office and accepting gifts from foreign governments valued at over $100. There are two of these statutes, however, which will warrant more study on your part. The first is 28 United States Code section 455, the Disqualification Statute. The first subsection of that statute says that you must disqualify yourself in any proceeding in which your impartiality might reasonably be questioned. The second subsection lists specific situations in which disqualification is required, such as where you have knowledge of disputed facts in the proceeding, where you or a member of your former firm was previously involved in the controversy, or where you or a member of your family has a financial interest in a party or has a financial interest that might be substantially affected by the outcome of the case. Where these specific disqualifying situations are present, the parties can't waive your disqualification. You are disqualified, period. The second statute warranting careful note is the Ethics Reform Act of 1989. It places major restrictions on the acceptance of gifts by judges, on the outside income that judges can earn, and on the kinds of outside activities that a judge may engage in. The statutory restrictions affecting the judicial branch and the judicial conference regulations implementing them took effect in 1991, and they too are contained in Chapter 5 of your red book. Look at that chapter closely. For example, you need to get approval from your circuit chief judge if you want to teach for compensation. You can't accept money for service on the governing body of a profit or non-profit organization or for giving a speech that is not part of a teaching program or for writing an article. And there's a 15% cap on the permissible outside income you may receive in any calendar year. Again, check Chapter 5 closely. Let's move now from what Congress has said you can't do to what Congress has said you must do, specifically what you must disclose about your income and assets. You need to know that Congress has established a financial disclosure requirement for all high-level government employees. Article 1 of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 speaks specifically to the judiciary, and Chapter 7 of your red book summarizes the requirements of that act. Basically, you have to file a financial disclosure form as a part of the appointment process and then file a subsequent report form before May 15th of each ensuing year. Each report to disclose your financial situation at the close of the previous year. The statute requires that the Judicial Conference of the United States establish what the statute refers to as a Judicial Ethics Committee, and the conference has established such a committee which receives your disclosure forms, makes those disclosures available to the public, and generally oversees compliance with the disclosure mandates. The Judicial Ethics Committee will send you a form each year, well before the deadline for its filing. And you can look at Chapter 7 of the red book for instructions on to help you in filling out those forms. If you still have questions about those forms, don't call me. You should call or write the Chairman of the Judicial Ethics Committee for help. Let me warn you, however, that the members of this committee study the form that you file very closely, and I would suggest that each year before you file you compare this year's disclosure form with the disclosure forms you have filed in preceding years to make sure you haven't inadvertently left out or fail to disclose an acquisition or a disposition of an asset or some other reportable event. The Judicial Discipline Statute creates a mechanism pursuant to which your circuit chief judge, any litigant or for that matter any member of the public can file a complaint alleging that a judge, including a magistrate judge, has, and I'm quoting now, quote, engaged in conduct prejudicial to the effective and expeditious administration of the business of the courts or is unable to perform all of the duties of the office by reason of mental or physical disability, unquote. Now before you get concerned about the generality and vagueness of those standards, let me tell you that the vast majority of complaints filed under this statute are promptly dismissed under a section of that statute which requires immediate dismissal if the complaint is frivolous or if it is, quote, directly related to the merits of a decision or a procedural ruling, unquote. All right, so much for what Congress in its wisdom has provided, what have the courts done? And this brings me to the Code of Conduct for United States Judges. In 1973, the Judicial Conference of the United States adopted with some modifications the American Bar Association's model code of judicial conduct. The Judicial Conference made its code of conduct for United States judges applicable to all Article III judges, all bankruptcy judges, and all magistrate judges. Since then, the Judicial Conference has also adopted codes for many other judicial employees. The Judicial Conference has also established a Committee on the Codes of Conduct, and persons who were covered by any of the codes of the conference can turn to this Committee for advice about the application of the Codes of Conduct. I want to talk to you further about the work of that Committee, but before I do, I want to take you on a brief walk through the Codes of Conduct or the Code of Conduct for United States Judges. I want to give you a word of caution before I begin this trip, however. Some of the cannons are quite general, and when you first read them, they seem very straightforward and on the obvious side, but they're not all that obvious and straightforward always in their application. And for that reason, it's essential that every judge develop a sensitivity to their potential application in a judge's everyday life. The best way to do this is to make yourself take the time to sit down with a red book and read not only the cannons, but the commentary on the cannons and the digest of published opinions of the Committee on Codes of Conduct. All of this material is gathered for you in the first part of your red book. Now the Code consists of seven cannons. I'm only going to refer to a sufficient portion of each one so that you'll be able to find your way around in the cannons when you go back to them with specific problems in mind. The first cannon says that a judge should uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary. In other words, be honest and independent. It sounds easy, but it isn't always that easy. The job has subtle temptations, and one has to remain on guard as a result. As a trial judge, I had many cases in which there was sharply conflicting evidence about what had happened. If I found the facts one way, it would mean an easy case, and I could dispose of it in short order. If I found the facts the other way, however, it suddenly became a very difficult case, and many, many hours of research and writing would be required in order to finally resolve it. Cannon one required me to make sure that the prospect of that extra work didn't have any influence on my fact finding. Cannon two provides that a judge should avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of the judge's activities. In particular, this cannon stipulates that a judge should not allow family, social, or other relationships to influence judicial conduct or judgment, and that a judge must not lend the prestige of the office to advance the private interest of others. The questions that arise in the context of this cannon are questions like the propriety of membership in various clubs, writing letters for law clerks as they depart, recommending candidates for judicial office to appointing officials, participation at testimonial occasions, or vouching for the character of another either in court or out. Cannon three provides that a judge should perform the duties of the office impartially and diligently. The cannon tracks the language of the disqualification statute that I referred to a few moments ago, including that general prescription that you're required to disqualify yourself in any proceeding where your impartiality might reasonably be questioned. Most judges, for example, feel that this requires that they not sit for a reasonable period of time in any case where their former law firm is appearing as counsel, whether or not they are still receiving a payout from the firm. This cannon also contains rules of conduct for judges in the courtroom, and finally it specifies a detailed procedure for securing a remittal or a waiver of a disqualification in those situations where remittal is permitted by the code. Passing on to cannon four, a judge may engage in activities to improve the law, the legal system, and the administration of justice. This cannon contains the do's and don'ts concerning law related activities like teaching, writing, or speaking about the law, or participating in professional organizations. Cannon five concerns extrajudicial nonlaw related activities of judges, and it has actually occasioned more published opinions from my committee than any other can. It states that a judge should regulate extrajudicial activities to minimize the risk of conflict with judicial duties. Subject to stipulated conditions, the cannon permits participation in civic and charitable organizations and permits you to manage your own investments. However, with one exception relating to wholly owned family businesses, the cannon prohibits a judge from actively participating in any organization for profit. You will be happy to learn that cannon five permanently liberates you from any kind of solicitation of money for any purpose. Cannon six says a judge should regularly file reports of compensation received from law related and extrajudicial activities. It requires a judge regularly to file his or her financial disclosure forms, and it tells us what circumstances or under what circumstances we may accept compensation for law related and extrajudicial activities that are permitted by the code. Remember that it is necessary to watch the interplay between cannon six and the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 in order to stay out of trouble. Finally, a judge is not permitted to engage in political activity. Cannon seven says simply that a judge should refrain from political activity. It prohibits any participation in any organized political activity, be it formal or informal. It's not just limited to running for office or making political speeches. Let me add one footnote to this discussion of the cannons before I leave them. There are special conflict of interest rules that are applicable to part-time magistrate judges and that supplement the cannons so that part-time magistrate judges need to check chapter three of the red book in order that they may be sure that they know all of the rules that are applicable to their activities. Finally, let me close by telling you about my committee and how we may be able to help you. The Committee on Codes of Conduct has 15 members, including one member from each of the 12 regional circuits. The Judicial Conference has given us three missions. First, we provide confidential advice to anyone who is subject to a Code of Conduct. Because of this assignment, we are affectionately known among the federal judicial family as the Dear Abbey Committee. Second, we publish advisory opinions on issues that keep coming up or issues that are of a particular importance to a substantial segment of the judicial family. All of our published opinions are found in chapter four of your red book. Finally, we have the assignment of recommending amendments to the cannons and to the commentary to the cannons for the Judicial Conference to consider, and we advise the conference with respect to proposed legislation in the ethics area. I want to stress three things about the way our committee performs its advice-giving function. First, the advice is strictly confidential, and only the requesting judge is free to disclose the inquiry and our response. Consistent with our role as a confidential advice giver, we have no Code enforcement responsibilities, and no one need have any fear that information supplied to the committee in the course of making an inquiry will wind up somewhere beyond the committee. Second, we only provide advice to people who are subject to the codes of conduct. We don't, for example, express an opinion if a litigant or somebody from the press calls and asks whether certain conduct of a judge is consistent with the cannons. And finally, I want you to know that our advice is just that-it's advice. When you have an ethical problem and you want to talk about it and get some advice, we'll respond, we'll talk, we'll give you our advice, but the decision making is all yours. In the final analysis, you have to make a decision that you're going to be comfortable living with. I've already stressed that you need to become familiar with the cannons and with the associated materials. If you don't, you may not realize that you have a problem when in fact a problem arises. But when you do perceive a problem, what do you do about and how do you go about solving it? Well, first of all, you should pick up your red book, obviously, and read any canon, any commentary, and any published opinion of the committee that pertains to that particular area. The opinions of the committee are digested in the red book right after the cannons, so you can find those opinions and the ones that relate to your particular problem. But if after you've done that, you're still not confident that you have the right answer, pick up the telephone and call me or call the committee member from your circuit. And we'll be glad to talk to you about your problem. Sometimes it helps just to talk and try to identify the relevant issues and how one should go about analyzing the problem. More significantly, it may be that the committee in its years of experience has had occasion to issue a confidential unpublished opinion on the same issue that you have or on some kind of analogous issue. And where that's the case, we're authorized to share the committee's advice about that issue with you without, of course, providing any information that would tend to identify the judge whose inquiry was responsible for the prior opinion. If the committee has not addressed a similar issue before, you may wish to ask the committee for a written opinion addressed to you and direct it specifically to the problem and to the facts that you face. Indeed, even if the committee has had occasion to address your issue before, you may want to ask for a written opinion for your own protection in the event anyone subsequently raises a question about what you ultimately decided to do. Finally, you should know that if you rely on one of our advisory opinions interpreting the 1989 Ethics Reform Act and the regulations under that act, you will be insulated from the act's civil penalties. If you want to request an opinion from the committee, all you need to do is to write me a brief letter setting forth your inquiry and what the relevant facts are. It might help to call me first and we can talk about what facts are relevant. Frequently that saves time in the long run. Unfortunately, time is a problem. Our committee is scattered across the country and a response has to be written and then circulated for all the judges on the committee to have an opportunity to comment. Because of that, it takes us frequently two to three weeks after we receive an inquiry before we get a response out. If that's not soon enough, however, please give me a call anyway and I'll see what I can do to expedite the response. We may not be able to do any better than that, but then again we may. Frequently judges call and then apologize for bothering us with their problems. There's no need to apologize. We want you to call and we want to be of service to you. I wish you well in your new assignment. The Committee on Codes of Conduct is comprised of a representative from each circuit as well as a bankruptcy judge and a magistrate judge. A listing of the current members of the committee is included in your written materials. Judges who have ethical questions are encouraged to contact the committee member representing their circuit or the bankruptcy or magistrate judge to discuss the inquiry and receive individual guidance. Committee members cannot provide a formal advisory opinion, but if one is needed it can be obtained from the full committee by addressing a written inquiry to me at the address noted in the committee listing. Please do not hesitate to contact the members of our committee for advice. I join Judge Stapleton in wishing you well as you undertake the responsibilities and challenges of the federal bench. This videotape is part one of a series on judicial ethics. Part two is a panel discussion of hypothetical cases based on the Code of Conduct for Judges.

Bringing people together is something that I love to do. No matter what outcome they have come from in their past lives or what they're dealing with right now, just to bring everybody together is very important, especially from where I came from. When I was very young, baby, my mother had left me. For a long time, I never understood why. It just one, one day she often left. And my biological father was a drug dealer. He was a very abusive person. He abused me and my sister. If you can think of a bad person, just multiply it by a hundred is, that's what he was. I don't think that man understood love. And for the longest time, I didn't either because I never felt it growing up. And that's when we were introduced to my adopted parents now, Chris and Christie. At first, I didn't understand why somebody would wanna take kids in that weren't their own blood, had no relation to them or wanna care for them. It was just something I didn't understand. And then something just, I don't know what it was, something just snapped inside me. And I started to realize that what caring was and what they wanted for me. And that's when I kind of decided that I wanted to be better. I know I wanted to do something with cameras and photography and videography, but how was I supposed to do it? And my mom sat me down one day and we were talking and she goes, you know, you should go to Western. As my school year started to progress, my grades started going down because of personal issues. There was a point where I just, I got really sad and I don't know if I wanna call it depressed, but I mean, it was kind of like that and I just didn't wanna do anything. I didn't wanna do work. And I finally had the courage to actually go up and talk to my main instructor about what was going on and what I was dealing with. And that's when he said to me, Xander, I understand. People go through stuff and I know your story. Just focus on what you need to do right now and worry about getting your homework in later. And again, I had kind of like that snap, like, oh my gosh, these people really do care. That's when I decided that I wanted to do more for Western. I want people to know that you don't have to be alone and you don't have to be scared. It's okay to reach out and ask for help. Never be scared. Even though I can't say how they exactly feel during what they're going through, I can say I understand. And that's when I try to share my story and help them get to a better place to know that, hey, if somebody else did it, I can do it too.


Hey everyone, this is Melissa with the stockswish.com and welcome, welcome to SWHC. This is the play of the day and what a beautiful play it is. And the funny thing was I did not do the second or the third call I made in this and I just took some of this right down into that last drop and got in it again with this. And Ed, who was in the room and Ed's done the class was waiting and waiting and waiting and he texted me that he finally couldn't take it anymore and he got out. And so I, because he texted me, I said, oh, I'm just going to look at it. And then I saw it here. Here's what I saw. He was telling me he got out of it here. It didn't break the low. And then I looked at it and I saw through this little teeny weeny thing here and I said, oh, and I took it with like a five cents stop and it dropped into here and I just got out. So I just choked on a little bit more to my day. Thanks to Ed because I wasn't, I was done for the day pretty much. But let's go over this. Anyways, it was just a really, really nice gap. And I saw it the night before and actually this was one of the top three that I was watching to set up on Friday morning, which was today. I said, you know what, we only need one good one. And so I was watching this one last night and it got down. And the other two that I liked didn't work out, did not play out, right? Didn't even gap down. So then I had nothing else to watch. And of course I saw the market this morning. I said, well, we're lucky we have something good. Dream Target on this was 960. $10 was a realistic target. None of that was gonna happen today though against this beautiful bullish market. And so I got out of the first trade this morning on this because I saw what the market was doing. As it turns out, the market fell deep and hard into the morning. And here's the drop I got in this initially. And I was all out, all out in the first move, called the second trade, called another trade in it, didn't do any of them, went and had lunch, came back and decided to do that last one there in the 15 minute. So let me just show you here what this did. And this didn't set up today in an ideal form. I got this whole drop and I got out, I had a perfect exit here. And I'm glad I got out of that because it wiggled and jiggled until it broke. And I would not have wanted to stay in this whole trade till three o'clock this afternoon. So I would have ended up getting out of it at some point in here if I hadn't got out of the drop.  I actually got out of the whole thing in here. It was a nice trade though and had a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful reentry. The problem was the market was so bullish that this took a long, long, long, long, long time to go. And this is the trade that Ed was in. And Gerard was in it too and a bunch of other people but I decided not to redo it. I lost conviction in it going to the dream target which was 9.60 or $10 as a result of the market today. Now that being said, like I said when Ed texted me, I went and looked at it and I said, wait a minute. And when I saw this green bar here go up and go nowhere, see what happened here? As soon as this green bar triggered, it was also breaking the low of the day. The low of the day is a horrific entry but this was basically a green bar reversal in here. It was like a sandwich except for it's better than a sandwich because in the time it did the sandwich and hit it broke the low. And this is doing this into two o'clock which is a major reversal time. And I actually thought, I thought about this getting down here just for some squeeze somewhere. It actually did go to one of the targets which was 10.25. So I had perfect eggs in on this too into this drop. So this was a good trade. It was basically a five cent risk, okay? Six pennies, 40 by 60, okay? To make down in here, 25, 26. I mean that was the first target. It could have gone to 10. It did not go to 10. It could have gone to 10, it didn't. So this was a nice little three-hour trade there just to squish some in. I call it chunking onto my day simply because I wasn't looking for some big crazy number. I just saw a nice little entry in there. That's what I did. And it was like opportunity just screaming at me. So beautiful little move down there and if you suffered waiting for this to go you were never down money in this in here. And the trade that happened in here, you were never down. You were waiting, you were waiting. I call it suffering because you have to wait and wait and wait and wait. You don't have to wait for anything in the morning. That's why I like to trade them early morning where you get momentum moves with no suffering, no waiting, boop, you're out. But if you want to get the bigger drops, you do have to be patient, you do have to wait. There will be times I do that. I didn't feel like doing it on a Friday afternoon against the market. But then I saw this late and took it and it was really quick and it was all out. So it was a really nice trade. This is SWHC, the Smith and Wesson. This is a socks with show play of the day. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful nice gap in here. And this will, I will be watching from Monday. This will continue, this will continue, this will continue on Monday. And it was a great gap. So if anyone's interested in learning how to trade gaps and rate gaps and play gaps, then email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com and feel free to email me if you're interested in signing up for the Gap class next weekend, September 14th and 15th. Have a great weekend, everybody.


My Home Every user in Moodle has their own personal page or dashboard called My Home. On some Moodle sites you're taken to My Home as soon as you log in. If not, you can get to it from the navigation block by clicking My Home or by clicking the link in the user menu. It's a page where you'll have an overview of the courses that you're enrolled in with any activities that need to be given attention to. For example, in the Teaching with Moodle course here, there are new forum posts which need to be read. You can customize your My Home page by clicking the Customize this Page button and you can change the page back to the site default by clicking the Reset button. One useful thing is you can decide how many of your enrolled courses to display. So if you only have a couple as here, you'll want to show all of them. If you're enrolled in many courses, you can choose just to show a few with a link to the others at the bottom. It's also possible to rearrange the order of the courses. So for example by clicking and dragging, you can move particular courses up and down. There are blocks that you can add to your My Home page if you think they'll be useful. If we go to the Add block dropdown, it might be useful to add an online users block which will show you who's online at the same time as you. In another video, we'll look at the different blocks and what they do. On the My Home page, you can move blocks into the central section either by dragging them and dropping them as here or you can click on the crosshairs icon and then select an area under which your block will reappear. Let's choose Calendar and see how this works. When you're finished organizing your My Home page, click the Stop customizing this page button.


When it comes to networking, it's not who you know, it's how do you know them and how do they know you? Years old have had a 20 plus year career so far. What I've learned is you can be this brilliant innovator, product developer, designer, but if no one knows about you, then you might as well be on the shelf. And so understanding that in the black community, there are these trusted networks that when people like myself have been afforded to access them, the black church, just HPCUs, civil rights organizations, those relationships and connections and introductions and people I could lean on when times got tough made the difference. It's in the heart in my networking, I'm looking at how I can add value to people and what they're doing rather than just going like straight to the sale or straight for the close. I always make it a point to learn something about the company, about the person I'm talking to before I jump on the call, to create rapport. And when it was then time for me to make a ask, I had accumulated this currency of having invested time in others and what they were doing. More than the performative or what you're saying, I think it's important to show your work and show what you're doing. If I were talking to a software developer, I'm less interested in looking at your resume and I want to see your GitHub. Show me some of the code you wrote. Even if it's broken, people are more apt to help you in the work versus like, I want to do this, I really want to be in film and I look up to you, build something. You can literally search how to do anything. And so I would say show up with the work, less of the performative and more of the product. For small business owners that are looking to tap into the African-American community, I think it's important to understand the various entry points. You can come through celebrities and athletes, but there's also business associations, there's industry associations, there's volunteer organizations, there's all these affinity groups, many of them going back over 100 years or so. If you invest in those relationships, you can build a consumer base, a base to hire from, a base to recruit from, all of those things are available when you network with the culture. We're at South by Southwest online. It's new, it's different, but everything from our virtual reality campus to our live stream, you've got the culture, you've got the creatives, you've got the tech companies and you've got a thousand black and Latinx engineers, developers, business majors. And so now that we're in this online experience, I think it's more critical that we leverage resources and tools to make sure that our digital persona, first impression truly matters now.

So first of all we are going to discuss stuff I will present the debian events team for the second time in after last year in debcov and then Then I will show you what's going on with the debcov the debian events team so for those who don't know the debian events team it has a web page which is actually the events web page on the debian website, which is a www.debian.org.events and His part the events team is considered part of the publicity team of which we have that we added the both just with these two hours ago What we do actually we maintain a sort of up-to-date list of the forthcoming events So every time there's a major events in debian it is a present in the events team and the events pages for example major events related to debian like the debcov here and We keep a record of all the events that are there. So if you want to go to a previous event you just go to the previous pages which sort of an history then We try to coordinate event organization Which means that it tried to find information about the presence of debian at any events It can be big events coming for example first them or smaller events like for example talks or Stabian is at present at an in government or whatever The coordination means that we want to know about speakers if there's any talk We want to know about volunteers who called who is there What they plan to do why they are going there and we also try to go to organize both Okay, and this is the major presence of debian at events So usually it's a debian people or they be unfriend debian user that help Organizing the booths help or spreading they spread debian Debian and outworks out what we do and all this kind of stuff. We also and handle merchandise so t-shirt production or keychains like this one or any other stuff tartans ties and We keep track of the merchandise produced by the debian trusted organization which are organization that are entitled to old money officially for debian and We try also to keep track of merchandise sold by different companies all over the world So if a company wants to in a sort of make publicity of their products They just send an email to events at debian.org and we enlisted them on the merchandise page How we can interact with the team very easy We have the major mainly main main address, which is events at the debian at all and if you want to announce an event or if you want to contact the event team just to know what's going on go to Introducing event to say something just send them an email there and for anything which is general discussion How the team works what we need to change whatever we have the day we use the debian publicity Mainly list which is debian dash publicity at least dot debian dot org By which but for everything which is a related to the web pages. We use the debian The team and the bug related to the web pages which goes to attack a HTTP Bugs the debian dot org Www dot debian dot org. This is a pseudo package So what this is now that you know what who we are Actually, what we decided to to do for debconf 11 and the manager of points of the discussion about today so we have we need to Actually refactor all the web events pages because in a so in a sense We need to list also minor events, which means a single talk for example our DPL gave a talk in Taiwan and The talk was not Enough publicized so it was not present on the on the mailing list And it was not present on the mailing list It was not announced on the events page It was announced on blog on the planet of debian dot org. It was aggregated But it was not officially present in the debian page We actually what one of our idea would be to have some sort of submission form so people can actually Announce an event in a web form, which is maybe best best for other people just copy and paste Something from the web directly if they don't want to fire out their mail user agent We need to update our instruction. I will how we can manage a booth how we can Publicize an event. This is something what something quite important because they are outdated unfortunately and the virtual shop idea is something that we will have probably Discussed later on the idea is to have a sort of central repository Repository of all the merchandise that the debian system trusted organization as so you don't know you don't need to contact each single organization, but we have everything in one single place and We we need to have a new IRC channel, which at the moment is a debian publicity channel But probably we don't have publicized so much that sorry for the pun And we need to have sort of search database for the talks So nowadays if you want to know something about debian in 2005 you need to go to the events page Go to 2005 and scroll down the page until you you find your events and this is quite not you really use a friendly So do we need to we need to have a search post? For the booth what we we want to do absolutely we want to adapt the information. This is clear We want to the merchandise stuff linked into the merchandise page, which is quite up to date not completely The better page of the queen have the best page of the queen have but it must be linked there And we also want if we go on with the idea of the virtual shop have the link there We want to have the debian events book We talk about that later and we want to have everything which is events related in debian packages this mean officially debian packages in the archive and This is why we want to move the debian flyers project, which probably not everyone knows the debian flyers project is a sort of is a repository of latex sources about the debian pamphlet or flyer I would I would call Usually in which is translated in a if I call quality eight languages. So you just change the Some information who sponsored these flyers the production of these flyers and put the logo And then it's just symbol make and you got to be a post script and you print you print the post And you go to the to the event to the booth and you give away Printouts or you can send an email to the events mailing list because if you have printouts from Yes, it working Wait, they need to No, no, no It doesn't matter. Okay. Why isn't debian flyer package in the again because The idea is that if you want to do something you just APT get to install the package So you don't need to go to website Why we want to the package in debian? Isn't it well, I don't know. I don't know so I Don't know it's it's there and the problem of the package is not only the debian flyer the real problem is that we produce t-shirts and We don't have the SVG or the PS or whatever So they were the easiest way to to have a census or something like an idea of what you have is to have a package and So the idea that is that we we are gonna send an email to all the people that Produce t-shirt if you can track keep track of them ask for the SVGs or the PDF or any other kind of file Ask for the license because we want to add it to the DFS to the debian package and then create debian package Probably we'll have more than one single package We will probably have one package for the events book and one package for the extra stuff But at least we have we'll have all centralized and this is also in Relation to the merchandise because we want a license for all the logos that we use for the merchandise and actually this will be a For sure the FCG license We want once we ask that for the license. We have the SVG in the package and As I already said, we want to compile the census for we have we have which is probably quite a lot I don't even know all the kind of stuff that were produced for the game and I'm part of the BNC and We we want to add the page about the trust or the trust organization So which are actually debian. So this is something that I want to stress all trusted organization are debian they are not different and I mean they are they are part of debian completely and We probably want to re-factorize also the merchandise burden page and those page Striking what is produced by the debian trust organization and what he produced by others and finally The there's some probably then some ideas about the mailing. So all the information are spread one of the idea will be to have a debian events announced mailing list, which is actually is Allow a posting is allowed only from the best events and press member only because at the moment We have four different events debian events mailing list one for Europe one for Netherlands one for South America and one for North America and For example, you need to subscribe to four different mailing list if you want to know all the events that take care They take a part in debian. We probably want all the information that are sent to the mailing list also sent to blog posts and This ends up in the same blog post that block the debian.org that was discussing you the publicity mail publicity buff and Again again again spread the information that every time you have you be a part of a debian event Send an email to us because it's quite difficult to follow different mailing list different blog posts different Regulators and every time find out. Oh, there was an event. We didn't know. Oh, it's too late We cannot send an email and we we didn't publicize that So that's that's the situation that this was actually what what I wanted in the event It a team wanted to do more or less during that cough And I will show you the result and we start really to discuss completely Yes, Arna. Does it work? No. Yes So the first question is everything should be sent to event events so Up to now many things were sent to for example debian events you Really did like that Kind of setup because it it did made me not Needed needing to read what things are going on in North America or wherever and where I never get to Yeah, so actually the blue last phrase should be last sentence should be rephrase and Restate that everything should be sent also to events at debian.org So I follow events at the debian events EU so everything which end up there I know I am aware of it But maybe Francesca or Martin doesn't doesn't follow that mainly don't follow that mailing list And if you get an email or events, we are closely following that Alias address so we need at least to be notified and we don't want to Be obliged to read the event all the events mailing list because for example some day events South America mailing list I don't speak Spanish and it's mostly in Spanish in Spanish So I can sort of translate the mail they announced that is going there But if there's one single line look there's an event in Brazil at this time And we in these guys will be at the coordinator We can contact the guy, but at least we can be aware of something Okay, so that's that should be sent should be also if someone can correct this, please Zack If I may so I see the point of separating the mailing list But the the traffic of debian events North America of all 2011 is like 10 days So there is always a trade-off in separating things which make stuff a bit more difficult to to find maybe and Uniting things with you can get some mail that you don't want to read But I think the trade-off here on actually having a single contact point can actually be beneficial That's just my view Well in North America that may be at the moment the case Debian events you has has has a quite a bit higher mail throughput and I think That might change With Debian events North America to so I think this is it this is a question of What time it is at the moment in Debian? When the North Americans and get more active then there will be more males there exact or Ronda one of the two, okay, but Then we just have to see it from the other way Around people subscribe to deviant events North America Getting floated by all the traffic from deviant events EU and which they might not be interested because they are not crossing the sea One more thing I wanted to mention the deviant events announce list is not established yet No, no, no, no, these are ideas. Okay, so the idea is not actually sorry I said the idea is not to remove all the other melee list We can keep deviant events EU which is actually a very good example of coordination So you say sorry especially for coordination this list is perfect Debian events announce is a moderated list So it can't fulfill the same purpose of events EU and events that deviant orc is a contact address So it's not a mailing list. So there are different purposes behind it so there's no Move to get rid of deviant events EU. No, no, no, the idea is not to get rid of me because it works quite well I mean as you say it is a coordinating mailing list and it happened for the example for the Chemnitzel Linux target this year It happens for FOSDM, whatever as as far as the information is public the information should be there about coordination actually and If we want to say something we just we don't want to announce something we go to the deviant events announce mailing list But we the events team get the information and announce to the people. So we are actually like a proxy more or less Okay, I just wanted to say That the same which counts for the South America or Latin America mailing list also counts for the deviant events and L mailing list I was subscribed there for some time and the language over there is mostly Dutch So and I think there was also one place a one time where we thought about deviant events DE for Germany Which would be a probably German mailing list, but on the other hand then again Events in Germany attract a lot of people also from the Countries which are close by I think similar things should also come for the Dutch area on the other hand So that was one reason why I was subscribed So I That's basically just setting these facts because I think they are important I Don't think it's quite it's difficult to simply add the cc to events at the debut of torque when you send an email So the idea is really we get notified and we do all the work for you for all the part of the announcement So actually we help you So it's up to you to know to send us the email Then we do the work anyway because if we find an announcement on the blog post We do the work for you, but if you help us, it's a bit better because we are quite busy as well as any other So now let's go back to the debion events box. So the debion events package as I said Sorry, the debion events package as I said, this will be as already been announced in a way by Francesca When he sent when he replied about the debion events buff on the debut of publicity mailing list back in May I guess something like that accent One more suggestion. Don't call it a package because I'm always confused and think you wanted wanting to upload something That's a package To be uploaded. Oh, okay Sorry, there was there was my confusion. I thought I had the debion event box on the next Buffer instead. It was the package. So this is a better than the name is perfect And this is a debion packages in the source and binary for okay So we contain all design use for merchandise Okay, proper license proper SVG or PS or PDF whatever and track of who did what okay? I didn't know who Produced produce the logo for the debion anarchism a t-shirt and actually when Amaya this year blogged about that The one guy asked for one t-shirt ten years later more or less after the first By batch so we need to know if you can print something and we figure we need to give credit to someone for one logo or any other stuff and They would already talk about the debion flyers. We need to think about how to set up this stuff. So Obviously the first place will be the publicity repository We need to discuss and we are not and we have not discussed it yet if this is feasible and How the name the binary package will end up is still a Vapourware so don't take this as we have uploaded the package yesterday. Okay, we will update the lot the package at some time in the future and then What's what's the debion package? Oh, I don't have the debion box anymore Just two seconds So what's the debion box the debion events box the debion events box? It's something that we we want to have Coordinate to coordinate actually too easy the life of the booth organizer and this will be more or less Shaped on what some other project already have like Konomi So you organize the booth and you get something like that Okay, you get a box a real box a physical box in this case plenty of stuff and Actually, which is plenty of marketing material And this will be the minimal material that you need to organize the booth And this material after the research that we we have done during the last week is more comprised more or less one demo PC Will be a very small demo is a very small PC and then is something like an e-box Which probably is all the guys that have attended for you for them have already seen this is it was at for them We always use axle box. So it's a box more or less 20 per 5 centimeter 20 centimeter 5 centimeter It's debion box everything will be supported and we'll end up working Running at the bubble box bubble box is a debion installer Subproject in a way so it's actually a virtual Installation which run the debion installer in all the different in the language that you have configured to So it shows the fact that the debion installer and debion itself is available in different languages and it's all automatic So really is a is one way to show off all the debion power in a in a very easy way okay, so we will fix that and Then we will have at least an LCD in order to reduce the cost of the debion events box You will be a 70 inch city LCD Obviously if you have another LCD at the booth, you can use any other LCD It doesn't matter, but if you don't have one at least you will have one The idea of having a projector is quite appealing really having a big screen is is some sort of The best option, but at the same time in some case we end up not having the place for the for the LCD So you need a clean surface and sometimes there's not enough There's not enough space some other times you have the space, but actually you don't have the surface So it's a face for example, it's black whatever and saddam at times There's no physical space to put actually projector because you need cables you need data stuff So it is useful. This is clearly useful, but it's not something that we don't want. Absolutely. Okay Then while keyboard mouse, this is something that must be discussed and this is why I asked will be people to come closer Stefano that suggested to have a wireless keyboard and mouse, which is good But at the same time they we need to change batteries They can be stolen quite easily because if anyone attended as an organizer booth You you plan to be there all the time But then when you start to discuss with people because people ask your question and interaction is Required you don't care anymore about what's going on behind and if there are 10 people attending the booth It's okay if there are two people. It's really difficult and it's exhausting So at some point you you are tired and you don't pay any more so close attention to the stuff that you have to booth We live an access point. So you arrive there you plug the network the uplink and everything will work You don't need to configure anything. We'll have network. You have network for the others and that's all okay Well power strips and a worldwide adapter cable the cash box If you if you are selling stuff or if you are getting donation Okay, and finally the advertising material the advertising material most of the time will be at least in English If it's and if it's available in the local language, it's better And if it's not available and you translate it it you do that's a big favor and you help us actually and we Posters are actually very good, but again sometimes you don't have the space for the poster or U.S. Space for example at Boston, but the poster are behind you. It's difficult to put them up and whatever This is why we are thinking about buying a leaflet rack, which is actually the panel that arrived in a Tube and you just need to take them out and you I don't know how to say you slide up them so everything with it's already printed on it and But unfortunately, these are quite big with respect to Pelican case so it will probably be in another case or this is something that we need to discuss and As Alexander suggested we need to have a general Debian business card On one side you have youths willing on the other side people and the user can write something So for example, okay, I discussed with these guys. I taking notes Then they go back home They know that they are they discuss about Debian and they remind of what they have discussed and then Some sort of t-shirts for the boost stuff So we need to find to design a good logo for the boost up So all the people that are attending the booth have the same t-shirt. I'm there I'm there. Oh Yeah, I think you what would be needed also is like some kind of Kensington compatible locks or something Sorry Kensington compatible locks or something to lock. I mean you have to Otherwise it will get stolen Can you add it to the page, please? um What is what I didn't see in the list is a big one or more big posters so we did some crash test with the axle and If the poster is up to a one we can fit in the box a one it's more or less like this but With yeah, and but at the same time the problem is that we don't Sometime you don't have play space for the poster so We send the poster and if there's busy use it the which kind of posters it depends there's There's a very good German poster which was done probably by Martin Schulz if I call correctly But this is not translated into other language. So we need to translate it it There are other posters which are quite funny like the Mike poster that we have here Depending on the conference, maybe it's appropriate or not Something which is quite I think it's quite useful in the sense to give the the sense of world-wideness of Debian Is the Debian developer poster which must be updated but But at least we have it we started to updated it here the deck off with single patches So we need to decide which poster and then probably there will be no such so much space in the box At least one or two posters probably they can fit not so many But we can also have different options and deliver one single poster each time so This must be discussed What about what about a banner instead of a poster because you can fold a banner and you don't have to wallet So the banner this is another this is another idea. We have some banners so the one that you use here and We just need to to add that to the leaky to the wiki and that's really okay But the problem with many banners is that it's quite difficult to to put up a poster you can just pin on the wall You see it with a big Debian banner. We have a foster and so it just falls down every time. Yeah So, yeah, sorry or I don't want to barge into the poster discussion because I have to say something to fit Go on I would like to I don't want to start a big discussion on this point, but t-shirts for the both stuff I would oppose this idea because One point there is that's much organization because if I think we are organizing the Frostconn both at the moment at the moment, I don't know how many people will be attending the booth and they won't the last one will tell me like two days before and such Events usually takes like two or three days and at least I don't want to wear The idea and the third one I think Debian isn't that uniform that everyone has to wear a t-shirt like uniform Debian t-shirt. Yes, Debian t-shirts are okay, but not the same one. I would say I See your point and I love wearing different Debian t-shirts, too, but if you will go to a larger event users often have the problems to Find out who of all these guys wearing a Debian t-shirt is Somehow related to the project and others are just fanboys. So having some kind of Uniform so to speak is a major improvement. In fact, we had said once at linux tag 2004 or five I think and it worked pretty well Besides being a well-resisted linux tag I think I think one of the problems is we have to wash the t-shirts and have to have new t-shirts No, I know I will Care of shipping the box but not shipping t-shirts for on washing clothes. I'm I'm I'm very strongly against Having the people to wear all the same design of t-shirts because when I'm at foster I'm always very annoyed by the fedora guys who all wear the same Polo shirt because it looks like a uniform and it looks like being Pushed from above on them. Okay, can I say something? The idea as alexander pointed out is to recognize the people are which are the booth who are at the booth Sorry, and it can be it can be t-shirt. It can be anything else what we can have which actually I really like it Is the printed tag? Okay, maybe and I have faculty and yet the Debian Metal tag you have one I guess The one that you I don't know why we call it name tag, okay and this is this is something that we can have and It's recognized people people don't want to use them then it's very difficult to recognize people I mean it's we need to know who is really at the booth because it's our customer You are used to have people at the booth. We are who are not coordinating the booth so Yeah, I think the metal thing is a good idea But that's what you are saying related to a completely different problem that relates to the problem I very often experience on Debbie and both especially at Frostconn or foster myself that People who are somewhere connected to the both are standing around and hanging around in front of the booth We at some Events like Chemnitz or something at that We we really did well at dividing up these spaces to have the officially people who are attending both at the moment sitting behind the both some Next to it some people who are just talking and the main area in front of the both free for people who want to know To want to look and I think this is the problem We should look at if we're doing it both the metal tags are a good thing, but I don't think t-shirts do solve the problem Another point in that Context is we are not a corporation We do not want corporate identity at least I do not want corporate identity. I hate that the point is we are diversity and the our users the users of Debian who are wearing Debian t-shirts and are hanging around at the booth in some ways are Relating to the booth and our part of the booth at least I see it that way and I really like it that We do not form a difference between the people who are visiting us and Ourselves they are part of us and I think this is a message and it's an important message for us to make So I I hate this only uniform thing. Okay badges are good. Yeah Something like okay This one is officially part of the booth. Okay, but it should it should not be too. It should be very unobtrusive, okay, so Sorry Thomas, please I Think what we want to manage is that people that have question and come to a booth get easily in touch with us and We can use the name tags I'm also fine with that but the most important thing is that the people that are working at the booth are going to the people Just that are just coming along the booth and asking them. Oh, do you have any question at it? That's so I also think a uniform like t-shirt is not important It's more important that we go to the people and ask them Do you have any questions and in the past we had some very bad? Experiences that the people at the booths are only sitting in front of the notebook with their back to the People that maybe have question and this is much more important to change those things There are also cultural effects in Brazil some things are different but there are two things one is that maybe just some name tag or a peeing or Maybe it's something that you can put in your wrist or just to identify that you are working in the booth is important Because sometimes at least in Brazil we do have to answer For as the people working in the booth, I mean the somebody wants to talk Somebody people doesn't understand that and then they'd want to talk with somebody that I mean not only the ones that know Us but there's also the ones that doesn't know us then they want to talk with an employee of that And it takes some time to then explain that we are just volunteers So it is really important at some point to say those are the people responsible They can explain to you that these are just donations and how it works with the Merchandise material this one thing that is very important So if the t-shirts are too much maybe just in these Identifications the name tags a peeing a boot on a bottom or something like that would work the same and The other things that as cultural if we walk into people in Brazil that doesn't work We really have to wait and if you walk them you you really piss them off if you try to ask questions to them And one of the booths that is very very. I don't know if you've been to that confor in Brazil at Fisley It was is the largest event in Brazil. We have something like 8,000 people. It's more or less like Fosn And our booth tends to be the most crowded one because it don't chase people So they they came so there are also those cultural things that are important to consider Okay before going on I have to stress the fact that these are not Rules these are guidelines So we provide you with the box we debian provide you with the box You don't want to wear a t-shirt don't wear a t-shirt. We don't care as as far as you do Sort of work for debian. You do you are fine to do whatever you want But then we should not complain if people don't recognize us or if not the booth organizer is called when there's a problem So that's really the the fact we need to sort of know we who are the people organizer because they are Responsible for the stuff that are there. So if something goes wrong at the Kennedy Selenic saga the organizer was young So that's the point and there's no way to spot There was no way to spot a young out of the 15 people that where are the booths and that were hanging around Helping people answering questions or whatever. So that's the real problem that the problem is that we need to know Who is there and who is in a charge sort of at least from? Organizing point of view. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely agree with that So let's let's just provide the material and now of course we I mean we're not paying anyone to stay at the No, no, I'm here so free to wear whatever they want But at the same time if there are some booths where people want to wear a badge or a t-shirt Why not? I mean, it's they're free to do that. So I think that's fine I was very interesting the point of not having all the people You know stay in front of the booth and blocking the access to non debian people. That's very interesting I think part of the problem is that when we meet at event we would like to you know to stay with other young people so in part is just normal So I think it is avoidable where we have other places to stay and a bit less so when we don't so like when we're really packed That's might be a problem But still it reminded me that this kind of stuff is very useful to know but we need to write it down somewhere Otherwise, we will keep year after year to know. Oh, we should not stay in front of I mean it It's a comment I'm coming out. It's a comment. I think I've heard it looks type 2004 that we should not stay in front of the Booth, but we still do that. So it was wondering if you were planning to, you know Write down some sort of guidelines. So if you want to be at the booth and you've never been there, please maybe they already exist This is already written down somewhere. There are I'm aware that there are some quite events page everything is on the event page There's a link to organizing our boots and this is why I need I wrote we need to refactor that pages Okay, so just before going on with the discussion Because we still have only five minutes. Sorry. So About the merchandise We we will probably need to send another box Which so the debian events box will not contain any merchandise probably or we contain very few merchandise like Keychains that everyone wants or pins or whatever, but for example for everything which is bigger like T-shirt we need we need absolutely another box because sending the debian box I mean sending a box of this size cost quite a lot It is around the one on one hundred euros. Just one way. So this is the problem We need we have debian official DVDs starting from March if I call currently Linux user from Germany I'll bet that's printing debian DVDs t-shirt. We which we are giving away Our as donation as we started at Caminets a Linux title of maybe even a chemnitzer. They are quite nice They are eco disc. So they are in a short way Economy friendly with the environment. They are DVDs. They have They'll squeeze logos and they're really nice and they care flexible. So just you know that these are working DVDs Don't be scared. They are thick thinner, but they are working DVDs So I tested them this we can put some of them in the box But we clearly cannot put them a lot. So for the For the merchandise stuff will probably need something else and if again if people don't want to sell merchandise They don't ask for the merchandise. It's it's quite easy. The box is there is a minimal setup for a booth It's not what I want to do at the booth is not what all the other people want to do at the booth It's what you need to have to organize a booth because if you if you don't want to travel with the three monitors to computers Five cables and all the other stuff you just got the box the box says is a trolley quite a big trolley, but is a trolley so it's easier to carry and It can be even be sent directly to the booth. I mean, it's it will be locked It will be everything inside included So you don't want to use that you don't ask for it or you just are for once for something in the box and then Clearly the other problem is what we want to put on the demo box Which is the only demo machine actually not the box But we want to have a Debian events box package Which means that you install your package on your laptop You start Debian events box or Debian or something like that set up and you end up with the virtual machine with bubble box some presentation open office for example at the Kermit say we had Alexander presentation in a different two languages if I call correctly English and German Which was actually a loop if I call correctly And then we have X penguins all over the screen and people were just stopping seeing X penguins And they were quite happy so they said oh, what's that? Oh look there's a presentation looks there's bubble box in my language. So this is quite appealing and We need a local mirror on the machine So even if we don't have network connectivity, we can show something we can show. Oh, there's some guy arrived I want to do some music Music management or look there's written box or there's any other package I will show you we install it whatever and we also need to provide a small guy Gui poor to Gui GUI whatever to burn the CD DVD Blu-ray images, okay, or Directed to an USB stick with a USB stick or On a CD so if someone arrived with a CD or someone will write with USB key So the user goes away from the left leave the box the Debian was quite happy because they have something to try at one Then these are the random Ideas for improvements. So if there is a way to automatically the setting up of the Babel box Lars and the recent today's discussion actually on the Debian develop mailing list about providing Official virtual machine is a quite helpful with us because we'll ever just we just need to download the virtual machine and install Babel box, which is even easier and then if you there's a name or to enter the different languages in the presentation So we need help to with someone from someone who can with quite an open office or LibreOffice guru We need to help to set up different stuff at automated that so the configuration of the Demo machine should be automated as much as possible You choose two or three different languages because for example in Switzerland There are three different languages or you choose one single language and we don't single common We end up with a machine that works otherwise is up to the Organizer to do the work and we all know ourself setting up something all the time is not is not an epic Stuff is boring is completely boring. So and if you have Sorry, if you have any other ideas, just put them on the wiki So or send an email to the Debian publicity mailing list Well Joe on IRC had just another idea to have some kind of virtual appliance to just impart it in Virtual box if you use non-debian supplied hardware on the Debian booth, but I think I'm just telling him to add it to the wiki Thank you So I think we are running out of time One minutes so one question Does anyone has an idea how to involve more people in event organizing? because I've spent Five of my holiday of my vacation days being at sea but I Was really tired after that and I would not like to do it again Well It doesn't to me The problem doesn't pose itself at least in Southwest Germany and up to Frankfurt. It doesn't seem to them. It doesn't there doesn't seem to be a shortage Yes, I think that's a specific case because so the Germany is very active in doing Debian related stuff So I'm very happy about that, but it's not surprising. So one of the answer I think it's trying to that I be on should have some infrastructure to encourage the creation of local user groups because that's doing an event is something Which not require necessarily very deep technical knowledge So even user who might want to start becoming involved in that and that's something they could do But I think that nowadays we are not particularly good at telling we need you to do that So right now we take that as a challenge on we I'm not necessary developer, but people were quite involved in Debian So that I think could be an answer which is I think a broader problem in Debian And also I don't know if in the how to get involved page on the Debian website We do have something which says you can help Debian in this way. Maybe there is I am not At no stock we had some some visitors that were a little bit more interested And so we just invited them to join us next year to have and I think at least one or two of them will be as the most next year No, I think you just have have to invite the people to help you because they're a little bit shy at the beginning because I Wouldn't know You look like you actually know what you're doing, but if you go do it for the first time I had no idea So if I had been invited, I would probably have started earlier. Okay, I'm sorry We are run out of time one last remark use the events at Debian.org address as much as you can We are got you already receiving so much spam that it doesn't matter if we receive one or two maize more Exactly would be it would be a pleasure to be in that alias You
