hi she was seven it is story time i have a story time yes okay now i know i'm always giving advice and talking to y'all but i thought let's switch it up let's do a story time okay so y'all can know a little bit more about me so this story time is going to be about an obsessive x actually i've had more than one so i'm going to tell you about each one i'm not going to use any names and anything like that um so my first obsessive x was um he was older than me of course because i don't date younger guys uh so he was older than me we dated for like two years okay and he was the definition of a bum okay broke not having a pot to piss in just nothing okay i was 18 when i met him maybe i was 17 i don't remember 18 i think new to the game um and of course i fell in love with looks so he was tall very handsome had a deep voice you know um you know nice curly hair whatever so i fell for that okay and being the young naive girl that i was i fell in love quick and i fell in love hard and he'd like in the in the relationship it was not mutual in the beginning like i liked him way more than he liked me okay um because you know i don't know he had like all his exes at least the one that i saw looked way better than me okay but he was broke and he was living in someone's back room actually he was living in his ex-girlfriend's grandmother's back room okay this is how broke this fool is okay and she didn't live there anymore okay but her sister did and her and her kids so the worst situation though was possible okay so i dated him for two years and he was the kind of person who was all talking no action right he would always lose his job he would always he can't work for people because he had a bad attitude and he's older than me like by at least 10 years maybe a little bit more right and you know i'm getting myself together i'm going to school i'm getting good jobs that and now i'm making more money than him as a 19-year old okay this has to be a slap in your face right so i start getting around men with more money and i start seeing the situation and all these guys with money are now attracted to me and like trying to ask me out and things and i'm just with this broke bum and i'm like yeah um there's something that's not right you know i love that bum but there was nothing he could do for me anymore it's like he was just taking up important space and time in my life you know we weren't moving in a certain direction we were at a standstill because he was at a standstill and i was growing and he wasn't so i started seeing another person on the side and i was going to break up with my with him with my my ex i was going to break up with him on my own time because i didn't want to hurt his feelings and say look i'm leaving you because you broke um so basically the new guy was dating knew i had the boyfriend i said i just got to break up with him i don't see him anymore i hardly even call him we're just still together and name so um i think my ex felt like i was pulling away from him so he comes up to my job with like food which he has never done he he got a job try to get himself together because he knew i was going to go okay um but it wasn't like you know the greatest job it was just a job and so he came brought me some food to my job and i'm working with the guy that i'm dating and so he walks up into my job and the guy that i'm dating gets upset he's like what are you doing here man what are you doing here you're not supposed to be here um this is you know private property and blah blah blah blah so i had a hickey on my neck and my ex saw the hickey and he's just like he wasn't my ex at the time we were still together he saw the hickey he just started his eyes started tearing up like oh my god he just started crying and i never seen him cry before i'm like oh my god um so he rushes out and leaves leaves the food and rushes out just speeds away and i could see him looking with tears down his eyes and i'm like really okay you had showed that much interest in me in the beginning and had this much ambition in the beginning maybe things would have been okay because he's 10 years older than me okay so i was kind of like well it's done now we're free you know so then me and my new boyfriend we go out to karaoke like a couple nights later and this is the spot that i used to go with my ex all the time so i'm in the karaoke putting my song yeah back then i used to smoke a little cigarettes when i go out or whatever i don't smoke no more um that was like so long ago and i was young and stupid but i was like holding it up like a little cigarette trying to be cool and it wasn't lit or anything so i was just holding it there and then all of a sudden someone with the lighter comes by like in in the darkness it just lights it for me and i look up and it's my ex boyfriend standing there and he's like so what are you doing here did you bring him here this is our spot i'm like this is not our spot i used to come here wait before i met you so basically we me and my new boyfriend we get upset you know we leave and we're walking to the car and my ex pops out of nowhere and starts fighting the new guy just fighting him throwing him throwing him against cars you know alarms going off people calling 911 and so uh my ex was a lot taller than my new boyfriend so he just like slammed right and so then my ex grabbed me and he was dragging me down like uh the parking lot like pulling me to go with him like and i was resisting you know and he was just pulling me to his car like trying to basically kidnap me and i'm like no he's trying to kidnap me call the cops calling 911 he's trying to kidnap me so um the cops finally came when he was still like dragging me not i wasn't being drugged but he was pulling me like trying to force me to walk a certain way and i was pulling back no so he was pulling me he's like get in the car i'm like i'm not going with you and the cops came he let go and started running the cops chased them and caught them and then they put them in the back of the car and they were like driving off and he was in the back seat and the cops were like are you do you want to press charges on him i said no he's just crazy um i think he learned his lesson but if he bothers me again i will be putting no strain in order so i guess i kind of felt sorry for him so i didn't really press any charges um so yeah after that i hadn't seen him till like years and years later at a gas station walking like i don't know he was still a bum y'all he was basically more of a bum then like he lost even more i think he was homeless at that point i'm like oh my god what did i ever see in that bum you know and i was truly in love with him and you know at that young age you don't see you know you only see the good things in people the best in people the potential in people you don't see them for who they are you don't see them for who they're going to be in their future you're just young and dumb okay so ladies i've been there done that um don't do it okay it's not worth it um another another obsession boyfriend story uh let's see oh i think i told this story a long time ago um what's okay it was a it was a police officer i think he was a sheriff and like i had went on two dates with him like two dates with him like but he used to see me all the time he was like really infatuated with me because like i worked in the funeral home and he was always working security like for his little extra side gig as a sheriff for the funerals and he would always see me he was always trying to talk to me ask me out and he was he was cute but like again i couldn't go backwards in life he did not have you know things going for himself he was just kind of very satisfied with his present situation and i wasn't i was not about that life you know he lived in a really rundown house in the bad neighborhood you know all he wanted in life was you know a wife to live in that house with him i'm like no you know i have bigger dreams i have bigger plans plus you know um um i wasn't attracted to him enough to be his wife or anything you know we just went on two dates but he was talking about marriage and what you're gonna cook for he was like real southern he was like well i have other women bringing me plates and dishes i'm like well that's them i don't cook for me unless i'm married to them and they got some money on them like i was he would laugh i'm like i would be at a funeral he would be standing outside or awake which was in the evening and some random woman would just drive by what a what a um Tupperware dish full of just like home cooked food and just give it to him like here go baby and she would drive off they would talk for a second she would drive off and he was like see that's supposed to be you that's supposed to be you bringing me some food i'm like no it's not that's supposed to be her you you're chasing me but she's cooking see who's who's got the better than the deal i said you taking me out to eat she's cooking you food that's okay and so after a while kind of disappeared and stopped working in the funeral industry because i met the man that i did marry and he's still that that sheriff still called my house for like three years after i was married my mom's house looking for me and my mom finally told him look she's married uh she's not she don't live here no more you know she's gone so he called my house three years looking for me other people too they're like calling me like years after i'm married looking for me at my mom's house i'm like i'm not there um so the thing is you know i always knew who i was and what i was going to be and what i wanted and you know a lot of men they didn't know who they were that or they that they could do better and i wasn't going to settle no um there were even guys that i used to date that did have a little something something but they didn't have the lifestyle that i wanted you know what i mean so it was like nope can't do it they want you to put on a church hat in a a suit and go church and be a uh a deacon wife no that's not me you know what i've had many people like well i can clean you up i can fix you up i can make you a good righteous woman i don't want to be no good righteous woman i want to be who i am okay you can't change me and i can't change you so let's just call it what it is you know they they would like actually look me up and down and say oh you would look good and this big old church lady hat and this yellow suit like this is like really do i look like i would wear something like that oh yeah you'd be good and you know uh no i don't even like that type of environment don't even put me in it you know the only reason i was ever in church or wearing suits was because i was at funerals okay you won't catch me there if i don't have to be there if i'm not being paid to be there i won't be there okay um so there was even a pastor of a church that wants to date me i mean i still get emails and messages from him every now and then even though i am who i am they're married two girls and guys the pastor's married sending me text messages in my facebook talking about when we go meet up how about lunch i i missed you blah blah blah and i it this is like uh 15 years later okay so when i say success is your best revenge moving on not settling doing way better it's the best revenge i promise you it is because i i went to this high profile funeral with my husband because one of his um colleagues or whatever passed away and the funeral home that i used to work for was doing the service and i'm sitting with all the rich people and i'm just looking at him work saying revenge success is the best revenge even if you have to marry for success it's still the best revenge okay it's hilarious to see their face when they're like what is she doing here dang she's sitting with them we're still working oh my god and you know that treated you so bad you know and then all of a sudden i get messages on facebook from my old co-workers who had crudges on me hi how are you doing yes i'm married goodbye you know so it's always good to be that one that always got away it's good to be that girl that people still obsess over it's still good to be that girl people call three years later after she'd been married it's good to be that person you know why because it means you didn't settle and it means you got out why you still could before it was too late like and they had no kids by none of those the guys because i was well aware that they could not give me what i wanted okay and i'm a very selfish person when it comes to that that's why i don't have those issues that non-selfish people seem to have because you know if if there's nothing that i want to do more in this world than to please myself that's what i'm gonna do you know i don't live to please other people okay because if i did that i would be very unhappy and not have anything that i wanted so ladies be selfish be that one that got away be that one that they still call three years later after you've been married be that girl okay don't make silly mistakes don't give them second chances unless they really do have something to offer you if there's nothing that they have that can benefit you move on okay because you'll have many more stories to tell and many more hearts to break okay i'll see you


Cam, in what ways did the momentum shift particularly there after that first quarter? You know They started hitting a little couple shots Stalled us out Started kind of attacking, you know some things that we do defensively But it's just how the game flows, you know, there's gonna be ebbs and flows there's games There's times when you know, we took a run there's times when they did so just about you know Whose can be more Jock mentioned about how this team has to be the team to turn The other team over more than they turn you over Was there anything that they were doing that made it difficult for you guys to kind of get those turnovers and deflections space There's space in the court, you know keeping a shooter on a loaded side making it hard to really Come off there and and put a lot of pressure on the ball You know the guys know absolutely the heater physical team What what made it tough for you with the fouls was it just them being more physical and things happen Some of them were just unfortunate, you know, I mean just caught in the wrong place wrong time Some of them are just, you know minor little context that that sometimes are called and Some of them was just trying to avoid a foul so much that you end up, you know command one But that's on me. I can't be doing that so Be better But you guys were up. I want to say about six four minutes left and they have yeah And you guys have that drought. Yeah What what was there in there that changed during that drought? And I guess are you they turned us over they turned us over and got easy baskets, right? And so, you know that happens. We're going back against the set defense every time They're creating turnovers, so they're going in transition and you know I kind of just piled up on us a little quick at the end there I said, yeah, I should have throw everything in Jimmy and at the recorder, but when he's going like that kind of how tough is it to kind of Stop that or match that it's tough, but you know, it's this is league is a lot of you know talented players so We've you know, we we can play that part of the game better But he had to get a good game sometimes that's gonna happen. Sometimes guys are gonna make shots We just got to learn how to make adjustments and continue to make it hard Got a chance to now play a couple games with Lonnie What have you just seen from him in the way that he's been able to impact the game coming off the bench? You can score the ball and he's been in attack mode, you know, he's been locked in Plays with pace strong gets to the basket He's doing, you know, big things for us right now, and I really appreciate it. So, you know credit to him for Taking that momentum and continue to ride that way


As a design manager, I don't care if my employees work less than eight hours a week... Eight hours a day. Work less than eight hours a day. Come to work later than usual or take one week PTO. But I do care about their mental health, career growth and personal satisfaction. Be a leader, not a dictator.


It's more than just open source, it's about connecting with people, it's about being part of the community, it's about sharing what you know and helping others. QCon is the best place to get hooked into the community and learn from everybody. And let me tell you people, this is just the beginning. Hey, that was a pretty cool video. It always gets me so pumped. Every time I see it, I'm like, yeah, I'm tired of this. Yeah, hello everybody. Thank you so much for joining us. This is super exciting. Today's daily wrap up. Yep. It's a third date, right? Third date? Third day. All right. Yeah, I think so. Well, all right. Well, if you have been joined some of the site events on Monday, then maybe it's your fourth day, all right. Yeah, yeah, awesome. Maybe let's just introduce ourselves for those who are due to our faces. Welcome, everybody. My name is Anais. I'm one of the CNCF ambassadors, and I just joined a company called Civo. And I'm also involved in the ecosystem through a challenge called 100 Days of Qvenitas. And I'm really excited to be here and talk about today's event. Awesome. Thank you, Anais. And my name is Leonardo Murillo. Everybody calls me Leo. And I'm community organizer for Costa Rica. I'm based off Costa Rica. And I'm Solutions Architect at Weaveworks. And I run a podcast called Cloud Native Lab Next that I hope everybody joins. So welcome, everybody. I hope you have a great, great conference. Awesome. Welcome, everybody. I just see the chat and all the welcome messages. It's really exciting. Keep us coming if you have any comments, questions, suggestions, any feedback, bots, anything you want to share about today. Just drop it in there, and we will keep an eye on the chat. Yeah. I just, before we introduce our first guests and start talking about today's amazing talks, I just want to say one quick thing to the community that everybody's joining right now. Because this is really, like, for me right now, this is being here. It's really special. I joined this community about six months ago, nine months ago, something in between that time frame. And I was actually, this is my second cube card. So the North America one was my first one. And I was watching people. I was like, oh, my God, I want to be involved. And I want to also be there doing the daily wrap up. So if you're watching this and you want to get involved, there are totally ways to do it, to contribute, and to get started. And maybe on the next cube card, you will lead one of those wrap ups, which will be really exciting. So I highly encourage everybody who's watching this to get involved, join the community, and yeah, contribute with your knowledge, with your energy. Totally. And it's an awesome community, everybody that's listening and watching us. It's open. It's diverse. It's a phenomenal live-changing experience. So join in. Everybody here is nice. Everybody respects each other. So it's phenomenal. If this is your first cube card, let's not make it your last. And keep coming. This is a fantastic place to be. So awesome. Thank you all for being here, and thank you for all the welcomes and the great, great energy. Awesome. So let's get our first guests, right? That sounds right. So just so everybody knows what we're going to be doing, we're going to have two sets of awesome, awesome guests. And as I mentioned, Cloud Native is all about diversity. So we have guests from all over the world today. We have Latin America represented. We have Africa represented. We have India. So Anais, why don't you tell us a little bit about our first set of guests? Okay. Well, I actually think they can introduce themselves fast. So I would actually prefer if we get them involved and let them tell us a bit more about themselves. I'm still getting to know everybody. This is probably the first time I'm live talking to some of the people who are joining. We're just the amazing thing of everything being online, right? You get to meet so many people and sometimes it's the first time you're talking to them. So yeah, let's get them involved. All right. Let's bring them in. Hello. All right. We got Abobakar, Jason. How's it going? How's it going? Welcome. Hello, everyone. Nice to be here. Awesome. Hi, people.  I'm going to just pick one randomly. So Cedio, why don't you start? Tell us a little bit about yourself. Well, a little bit about myself. I work at JALO doing some devops for chatbots and that kind of things in Latin America here. And I also a professor of operating systems. So I teach cloud-native technologies to my students and I contribute a little bit speaking and that kind of things from Likerd. So yeah, a little bit about me. Thank you for being here. My friends with Jason, yeah. Thank you for joining us. Awesome.  Yeah. My name is Abobakar Siddiq Angu. I'm a developer evangelism program manager at GitLab. My role, at least, to ensure a developer evangelist are able to speak more about cloud-native technologies and efficiently and help them be able to get you right numbers from all the contents they create. I'm also an active community person. Last week, I was the lead organizer for Kubernetes Community Days Africa where we were able to bring more than 300 people from the continent across 10 countries to be able to learn about Kubernetes. And one of the successes is getting out 60 students to be able to join Kube country of charge courtesy of the CNCF. I'm glad to be here. Thank you. It's really amazing. Thank you for your initiative. That's really great. I'm sure we're going to hear more about that. So, Jason, go ahead. Hey, Jason Morgan. I'm a technical evangelist over at Lincardee. I run the DC Kubernetes Meetup. I'm helping to organize the DC Kubernetes Days event. I worked with Sergio a little bit, which has been really nice. You might see me at KubeCon. I did a service mesh con talk, helping to build out the cloud-native glossaries. So for those who haven't checked that out, there's a common glossary of terms that we use in cloud-native that we're trying to just get shared definitions for, that the CNCFs actually are maintaining. And yeah, it's really nice to be here. Awesome. Thank you for being here, Jason. All right. So I have a quick question. So everybody here spoke at this KubeCon, right? The three of you. Which, who of you was this your first KubeCon talk? Jason? Okay. Okay. So I want to hear your story, Jason. What was it like to have your first time talking in KubeCon? Yeah, it was really nice. I'll be real. The pre-recorded talks definitely make it a lot easier. I got to do it a few times and make sure that I didn't misspeak or be too nervous on camera, which helped. Really excited. I've been rejected from a lot of KubeCons in the past. So it's really nice to finally get in and get to share something. Awesome. Awesome. And Sergio and Abu Bakr, you both are now experienced, right? Did your first talk was also during a virtual KubeCon or was it a, either you've spoken at a percentual KubeCon? Yeah. Mine was virtual, the last KubeCon EU. I think this year's one was much easier. Just like Jason said, you get to record yourself and be able to repeat it. But last year you had to schedule time and record through a particular interface. So you had to get it right the first time. But this year was really awesome. Yeah. For mine was on 2018 on an Oscon conference on Portland. So that was my first time was press on person. So yeah, not brutal. Yeah, it was a little bit like I was scared at that moment. That's cool. So Jason, we got a comment here from Christian in the chat that says that it takes a few rejects to get your CFP just right. So what would you tell our audience if they wanted to submit a talk? Like what are your tips and tricks to getting a good proposal in place? Yeah. So I don't have any real great advice. The thing I learned early in my career was get good at failing a lot and then the better you are at that, eventually you get less practice. So just be okay with getting rejected. Like every company I've wanted to work for has said no to me a couple of times and every conference I've wanted to talk to you said no to me more than they said yes. It's all worked out well in the end. Cool. Also maybe with adding, take this as a challenge versus and try to connect with other community members along the process. You can also give co-talks and that maybe makes it more easier, more approachable. And there are lots of people like if you want to get started for some speaker who can help you out. And I think that's really amazing. Yeah. Also to hear the stories behind the proposals. Totally. Totally. So other than your own talks, which other talks have you all seen that just kind of works? And enjoy. That's really cool. Yeah. It's probably all, but it turns out to be the same. So I caught my friend Adam Zwicky did a great talk on the evolution of service mesh yesterday, which I think was fantastic. And also like the office hours, the project office hours have been every single one I've gone through has been wonderful. So I'd recommend those really highly. Awesome. Yeah, for me, I think I've not really attended much of the other talks, but at least I attended out of Helm today, where they were seeking more people to contribute and try to become maintainers of the project. I think more of the CNCF projects need to be able to make it easier for new members to be able to join the communities. And onboarding is a crucial thing because it's scary when you just open GitHub and you go to Kubernetes group and you are lost on where to start. So listening to the maintainers, sharing how people can approach. And one of them was even advocating, please come and fix our typos. That way people are able to know that it's not just writing codes that are important, but also writing the documentation and making it easier for other community members to be able to join it. Definitely. Yeah, that is great advice. I was talking to somebody I can't recall that I think it's also good for the community to know that the CNCF is huge. I mean, the number of projects that is out there, usually when people think about contributing, they go straight to Kubernetes. And that's a very complex project. It's very fast paced, but it's not the only one. There's plenty of projects out there that can use help, that can have a growing community. So I think that's also good advice. Like become aware and mindful of everything that the CNCF has to offer because it's all sorts of really cool projects that you can contribute to. So Sergio is in the America's time zone, and this has been like a complicated cubecon for us in the Americas. Have you gotten the chance to watch any talk other than your own? Well, not at the moment, but I am really curious about the talk of Oliver from Lincardine that he talked about why ROS is the best language to build things. And yeah, it's really interesting. I want to watch that talk. And I also have access to the cubecon each day. I want to see, I don't know, the use cases for Kubernetes on the age computing thing. And yeah, I am curious about that at the moment. And I didn't have time at the moment to watch another sessions, but I am really curious about that topic right now. Oh, and I think this is also important to know it, right? For anybody that has not been able to watch sessions, you can still go and watch them, right? They're available for, you can watch them afterwards. So they're always real for you to look at them. What have you caught on, Naiz? What has caught your eye? So today I just, I focused really on the security talks. I like to use conferences as an opportunity to get involved into different technologies and expand like my knowledge and interests maybe across tools that I would usually not work with. And I really enjoyed the security talks today. So there was one on like how to hide yourself as an attacker. And the other one was an introduction to, to Kubernetes security. And I think both of them are really both principal for beginners, but then also it's really great to be able to, to access that and also in the long term and be able to, yeah, listen to something that you usually wouldn't necessarily think about. What is everybody's thoughts on that? What kind of talks did you enjoy? Did you, did you watch some of them? Yeah, I think I watched the security talk you were talking about. People are talking about in the chat. I forget the name, but it was a lot of fun. They made it like very much like a little movie, right? So they, I think they got to play with the format that you get with KubeCon where you pre-record things and that was pretty, pretty fun to watch. Everybody's talking about that talk. I'm like right after we're done with this, I'm going to go watch that. People are doing seriously. It sounds like it's been the funniest best talk in history of KubeCon. That's amazing. That's awesome. Is that the one from Ellen and Tabitha that people are talking about? Is that it? All right. Yes, that's so fun. Who knows who Ellen and Tabitha. Yeah. And everybody who helped them. It was like a production, right? So yeah, it's great how people come together across the community to produce something that amazing to share their knowledge. Next time we're going to need a red carpet. Yeah, we're going to have a red carpet for the next KubeCon for this type of production. That's awesome. Exactly. The Felipe Cabo says the Oscar goes to Ellen and Tabitha. No kidding. All right. I was going to say it's been really nice how many folks have done like the side boosts like Flux and Ambassador have been doing like booth things every day. That's been great, right? So you get like additional tracks of talks that you get to go watch. I enjoy it a lot. I think that's really good because there's one, there's one aspect that I've always wondered about this virtual conferences. And it's the fact that, you know, sponsors need attendants as well, right? They're the ones that are keeping the lights on. So I think it's very valuable for the attendees to actually go there and look what the sponsors have to say, right? Did they have good presentations, great products? Awesome. Yeah, from a career's perspective, connecting, there are so many ways to connect with projects and people online. I know all of you from online interactions. Exactly. I think that something to share. I think that Quebec on you, for me it's special. I don't know why. I think that for me it's better for this conference than the North America. I don't know why, but for me it's special this one. Yeah. And it's the second time. I don't know why this life feels like more diverse or I don't know. It's special for me. Also, you get more used to where can you interact with? For example, in the first one I went to last, the last in the North America one, I didn't know that there were whole tracks on Slack. I didn't know where people would hang out. And I think that really comes with the second time you attend and you will kind of have more familiarity with it. I think that's something we want to talk about. The whole hallway track sort of thing, right? Because there is that component that you usually get in kind of percential conferences, the hallway. Everybody should know that there is a way to engage with other members of the community. Right? There is in this lack of CNCF that hopefully everybody has access to a hallway track. So I want to hear hallway stories. Who? Because I've met, let me tell you something. I'm not the type of person that would like in an actual physical conference go to the hallway and talk to people.  So I just wouldn't go talk to people randomly. But that's not the same for me in Slack. I feel much more comfortable. So what has your hallway experience been? Have you met people? Tell me some hallway stories I want to hear. Yeah, I think that when the people start asking you about things, and well, I think that my strategy for me is to share, well, I have my Twitter account, maybe you can follow me. And when they follow you, you can start chatting with them and share things or maybe share your presentation. Well, here's my presentation. You cannot be. You can see what I am doing. And that's the way that you start interacting with the people, I think. And yeah, or maybe just say, well, you can follow me on CNCF Slack or something. Yeah, I think that and some people, let's say that the people that are here on this streaming, we have like friends on common and we can start talking to each other. For example, I know Jason. I know Anais because I'm from SIBO and I know Leonardo. I am, for example, well, and we meet a lot of people when we are talking and sharing content in the media. I think that is special on Twitter. I think that is the way to share the things that we are doing and the community thing to share what we are learning. Yeah, for me, one of the ways I enjoy the conference, surely the whole way, is to spend a lot of time on Slack even while conferences are going on and on Twitter because a lot of people live tweets as talks are going on here. They are able to know, see what people feel about the talk that is happening. And I create special columns on Tweets Deck so I can follow the different conversations happening because aside from Slack, a lot of things that happen on Twitter and a lot of discussions go on that one comes if you just stick to Slack or you stick to the platform itself. And I also noticed from my talk that some people don't even join the Slack. So they probably just stick to Twitter and tweets whatever they want to say. I'd say one thing about the hallway before we dip out, they've been doing Zooms which have been a lot of fun. Like it's really cool to just meet. Like it's not quite the same as the conference but it feels really good and it's very social. And certainly I'm a little extroverted but I've been really enjoying that part. I think that's really cool the fact that there's all these different means to connect, right?  That's awesome. What were you going to say, Sergio? I was reading a comment here from LinkedIn, mentioned that I do really appreciate the force on Central America here, Sergio on Leo in the QCon. And yeah, I think that we are trying to break the gap between the language and the things. I think that for me it was a big challenge to apply to a conference. Not this one, maybe my first conference in Oscombe. I remember that some of the organizer from Oscombe mentioned me, hey, why not to try to apply and be a speaker? And I say like, why me? I only speak Spanish and more or less English and that kind of things. Then I was like, I will try and see what happens. So I remember that in that time was not my best conference, let's mention that. And then I remember that the past year I tried to improve myself and give a better tag and was better. And this one, I remember that Ariel mentioned me that they double the people that are watching the conference. And a lot of people start to ask me, I say like, oh my God, I am improving myself and I am better right now. I was really proud of me. So yes, it's really interesting. And I tried to push my students to assist at this kind of conference. For example, on Tuesday, one of my students talked on the Service MeshCon about how to use Linkerdia and Chaos Mesh. And what's really challenging for a student to be in a conference, I was like a secondary speaker. And yeah, that's the mission, to involve the people, to include diversity, all the countries and cultures and I think that's the cool thing about cubicle. Yeah, I think it's also like the main topic of my session, diversity, because most times when we are in the US or in the EU or some of the other first, let me call them first world country, it's easier to not understand the kind of situation and environment that others are. For example, if I will talk about Africa, I personally have been denied visas like 10 times to different countries. I've even given up on visiting a place like somewhere like the US. I've tried to go to Kipkan before and I was denied a visa and the same thing happens to lots of people who get diversity tickets to this physical event, where they cannot attend because one, probably travel is extremely expensive or they cannot get the visas or due to a lot of other reasons. So and we see a lot of community and a lot of companies trying to create all these diversity programs within all these countries like that of Africa, but there's this ignorance on what exactly are they trying to solve? How should they create more impact? For example, like Africa, there is a lot of misconception about the continent.  Okay, Africans will be like, we're out of the 54 countries are you going to? So yeah, it's understanding because probably we are not aware about the composition of the continent and we speak a whole lot of languages. I personally speak like four languages. So English is not my first language. It's like the second or third by second or third language. So sometimes a lot of the communities make the mistake of assuming what works in the US or EU will also work here. During my talk, I mentioned that, okay, my internet connectivity is one gigabit per second. That is a luxury even for companies back in Nigeria, which is my home country, not to talk of individuals. So and one of the mistakes that most organizations make is they focus on numbers instead of the impacts they are going to make. One of the beautiful things that the CNCF has been doing is focusing on mentorship instead of events. When you focus on events, okay, you bring people to an event or you host an online event, you get all the numbers, by the end of the day, what impact, if you hosted the event, you've forgotten about it, what impact have you made? But with mentorship, I think from the experience we had at KCD Africa, we're able to see awesome people. I think one of your colleagues at Weaveworks, Sam Tochi, she was formerly an intern from Nigeria, who started contributing to the Kubernetes project and now she works as a developer experience engineer at Weaveworks. There's a lot of other success stories like that, that when we focus on the right thing and we listen to people within the community, understand them, we'll be able to bring in more of these initiatives that will have meaningful impact instead of just PR and numbers. So I think when companies focus more on impacts that they can give to countries in South America or Africa, we'll be able to grow more as a community instead of just focusing on, we want to create, we are following the BLM movement, we want to create some initiatives, we want to look good and do diversity just for the sake of diversity instead of actually growing the community by making an impact. Thank you so much for sharing. Yeah, I think that's the phenomenal input and phenomenal contribution, Abubakar. And I think you're totally right. And one of the things that Sergio and I, for example, talk a lot about Latin America is how there is this huge amount of latent talent that is hidden in plain sight. And unless there's initiatives that, so if you cannot, the numbers are there but sometimes you cannot see them just because they're hiding behind kind of like a layer of lack of awareness, right? So if we all as a community and as enterprise and organizations enable initiatives that allow us to put a spotlight across all these different underrepresented communities, we're going to just make the pie larger. It's going to, we're going to identify, there's huge amounts of talented passion that people out there that we've been neglecting. And I think that's part of what we're supposed to do, right, part of our job. And one thing I appreciate about the virtual KubeCon is, yes, we want to be able to see ourselves and meet ourselves, but virtual has been able to help KubeCon get more speakers from a very diverse environment and more people are able to join who might not be able to travel. I was saying earlier that, okay, I'm based in Nigeria, I'm from Nigeria, currently based in the Netherlands. It is easier for me to travel to Nigeria than for someone in Nigeria to travel to the Netherlands and it's even more cheaper. The same route, but me going down there is way cheaper than someone there coming up here. And even traveling within Africa is extremely difficult. So that's why virtual events like this go a long way in bringing more people to the community. And also, even when we want to go back to physical, doing something like hybrid, because it's not everyone that would be able to travel. Now, a lot of people, if we look at the numbers of KubeCon, definitely there has been much more participants than when we had physical events, which goes to tell us that we can do more of diversity by making sure that a lot more people are able to access these events, even when we go physical. Totally agree, yes. Definitely. Now, a lot of times I mean the talks, they have great for knowledge sharing, but what's really the magic that's going on behind the scenes is everybody connecting and people being able to get involved and contribute and have this first access point, this first access experience, right? And know actually what's going on within the community and how they can get involved and access similar opportunities, right? So I think it's a thank you for so much for highlighting it again, right? Thank you. So I think Jason has to drop off now, and we have two new speakers joining. You are welcome to stay if you want to. And yeah, let's invite our new speakers. What do you say? See you folks. Thanks for having me. Bye-bye. Thank you. Bye. Am I live? Yes, you are.  Oh, we forgot to tell you. We promised, Kunal. We would tell him once we drop him in. And we forgot. Welcome, Tiffany. Amazing. Thank you so much for joining us. You want to introduce yourself? Work quick? Like, well, not so quick. Sure, I can go first. I am Kunal, and I'm a junior from India. I've been contributing to open source since my freshman year. This is actually my fourth KubeCon. My first one was in San Diego in 2019. Best time of my life. Had a lot of fun, made a lot of amazing people. It was great. After that, all the virtual ones. So yeah, I mean, super excited to be here and just love how inclusive the community is. Currently, I'm a developer advocacy intern at Civo, same place, an IS work site. So, hi, co-worker. Other than that, I'm a CNC ambassador most recently, and I am in the Kubernetes release team. So looking forward to that. Awesome. Thank you for sharing. Hi, everyone. Oh, my gosh, Kunal. It's good to be on the same platform for once, because I've been watching some of your content that you've been just producing and giving out to the community. And it's been really awesome. Like all of you all contribute to the ecosystem, and I'm super excited to be here with you all as well. My name is Tiffany Jockja. I'm a technical evangelist at Harness. It's a startup that does CI CD, and we talk about simplifying and scaling software delivery. So I've been in this space for a good while now. Before working at Harness, I was a consultant at Red Hat. So also in the open source community, got to go to KubeCon and whatnot as well. And yeah, it's just been really great to see you all and hear conversations. Love to expand on certain things that have been going on in KubeCon this year. Awesome. Thank you so much for joining us again. Tiffany was actually one of the first people I followed in the cloud-native ecosystem, and I just saw your treats. And it's really great to be on the same live stream now. Awesome. Oh, my gosh, I know it is. It feels full circle, you know? And also seeing your work in the space, too. I noticed that you had just started and you weren't afraid to say that, too. And I think it's just so amazing to see the community surround all of your projects and even welcome you into this space. I think from the perspective of someone who's been in here longer, I'd be scared to put myself out there in that way and say, like, hey, I'm new here, but it's super cool to see. You're doing that, Anais, you're doing that, and saying that. And there's so much of a culture around it now and being okay with saying, hey, I'm new here, but we can learn together, right? Yeah, yeah. It's definitely, it's great to normalize that and say, hey, there are lots of people who are just learning about this joining KubeCon, wanting to get involved. Utilize that, right? That's the strength of the community. So many new people joining and actually contributing, getting involved. And yeah, showing their bits and what they are maybe confused about and what they're really excited about. Yeah, there was this talk yesterday. There was this talk yesterday on your path to non-code contributions. Or there was this line that I really liked by Matt. He said being a beginner is one of the best things that can happen because talking about improving documentation, right? So people who are experienced, they go too much into documentation and forget about it, like what it's like to look at it from a beginner's point of view. So if a beginner is contributing to a particular documentation, they would be able to provide their feedback, like, okay, I'm a beginner. What helps me, for example? Say, I mean, it's not like nothing to feel bad about. Everyone was a beginner once. You learn from others. And this is like, this is thing, imposter syndrome. So instead of thinking like, I don't know anything, you can think something like, I know something else. They know something else. And instead of comparing yourself with anyone, you should get motivated by them, learn from them because these people are the seniors in the ecosystem. And they're always, as everyone knows, CNCF and the whole cloud-native ecosystem is very welcoming to newcomers. So lots of learning opportunities, especially for KubeCon, a lot of students joining this year. So that's super great. Yeah, just hallway tracks, for example. Great for asking questions. Awesome. Yeah, definitely. Also, just Sergio who just was with us, he mentioned that he didn't know why he should be the one giving a certain talk. But ultimately, he's the one who can, he's the only one who can provide his perspective and knowledge on a topic, the way that he does, right? Nobody else who's studying his topic would be at any all, like at all be able to talk about it the way he does, right? And that's so valuable. And I think a lot of times people are forgetting about it. Yeah, did you have a chance to watch any talks today? Yeah, I did. I don't know. I've just been so into security and compliance and governance that the majority of my talks are actually our back-based. And there was a really great our back session on I can our back and so can you. So I watched that one. And also backtrack and say, like that's a really good point that you brought up, Kunal, about coming in with the right mindset that someone who doesn't have maybe all the contacts that they're coming in with fresh eyes, like it's a fresh pair of eyes. And I think that's so important, especially for a lot of the CNCF ecosystem, where we see so many new sandbox projects. Like, I mean, I look through the agenda and a good chunk of the time, like a good chunk of the days consisted of office hours for new projects. And so a lot of the success of the CNCF, it wouldn't happen without the community. Like it wouldn't be where it is today if we had people who just knew how to do everything and provide insights into, well, how can we make this experience better? How can we make the learning curve shorter for a lot of these projects? And so I think it's so great too that there's community days for specific projects. There's office hours for specific projects. There's sessions on how you can contribute, how you can be a part of this community. So I think just from my perspective, the general breakdown of the sessions and the tracks flowed really well this year. Yeah, I can totally second that. And it's really important. It was one session yesterday, I think, about contributing when you're not a coder, when you're not doing development work. And it's really important to remember. You don't have to be a coder at all or you're amazing at it to be able to contribute. There are so many different aspects to contribute to this space. I also, I want to change this direction of the conversation a bit. I think, Tiffany, you do the study right now. Yeah, yeah, I'm actually finishing up my graduate program at Georgia Tech in computer science. Awesome. And it's been three years we're going on three and a half years now. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, I think there are many people who are actually who are working and studying in the space and contributing. And also, Kunal is doing amazing work with the CNCF on bringing students, getting students involved. So I would love to hear more about that and maybe take the conversation from there. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think Kunal, you can start off as well. No, you can go ahead and follow up. I'll say that I used this graduate program really to focus in on areas that I didn't get a chance to in my undergraduate program. So I was born and raised in Maryland. I went to the University of Maryland. Shout out to Terps if you're based in the U.S. and know about the University of Maryland. I studied computer engineering. So a lot of it was systems-based, embedded engineering, C++, the entire shipping there. And I didn't get to necessarily take the classes that I wanted around data science, MLOps, machine learning, AI. So I think it's interesting to see a lot of the crossover between enterprise and academia, especially in that space, especially in a lot of the emerging technologies. I mean, we see in some areas that academia supporting a lot of what we need to grow, take, for example, the Dora metrics in DevOps. We didn't have that long-term study. If we didn't have a long-term study like that that was based in academics, based in research, we wouldn't know as much as we do now. And so I think it's really important to be able to say, like, how are we working together? And I'd love to hear your perspective on it as well, Kunal. Yeah, most definitely. And the things you mentioned, there was a talk on it today as well about how Cortex went from a vendor project to a more community-focused project by Gotham, I believe, from Gafana. And they also mentioned about how it's really important to be accessible and making your projects simpler to run, for example. So that's a very good point. And when we're talking about getting more people involved in the ecosystem, then first things first, for example, one thing a project cannot get enough of is good documentation. And when you're first starting with a project and it does not have good documentation, it's very difficult to get involved. Similarly, if setting up that project is a little bit difficult and tedious. So for example, in Cortex talk, Gotham mentioned, like, there were so many external dependencies they had to run. And so many, it was basically difficult, not simple to run. And that's what they are currently looking on. And that talk was really inspiring for me. Speaking specifically for students, CNCF is one of the most welcoming communities. And Anayas also mentioned, regarding the talk, there was yesterday about non-code contributions. There was a line that I was really like, which is contributing to open source is called learning in public. Because we learn from our mistakes and we learn together. And Anayas is also appreciating that thing, learning in public thing, which I really appreciate. So yeah, for students, I believe getting started is the most important part. And that's also the part they struggle with the most, not just students, but anyone who is new to open source and cloud-native ecosystem. Because they feel like over end and where to start actually. Because if you see that picture of the CNCF landscape project, it's like so big. And when I first saw that, I was like, what is that? It looks like mini houses in the big map. But yeah. It's amazing. The important thing is finding what you're passionate about. And even if you're not a hardcore coder and stuff like that, you can still contribute. And these particular contributions do have a lot of value. So it's not like if you are not making code contributions, it's not valuable. Like Kat mentioned it in the same talk yesterday. So yeah, I mean, it's a great way to get started. And specifically, not just for students, but anyone who is new to CNCF, there were a few talks regarding that as well. They're like LFX mentorship programs. There's like Shadows program, this KubeCon. Currently, this is the one we are attending. And the best part I love about KubeCons is like the hallway tracks. We were like interacting live with people on Zoom. Dims was there. Pop was there. And a lot of students are in today. They were even asking questions like, what is KubeNATIS? What is CNCF? What is CloudNATIVE? And no one was like, hey, that's not a valid question. We had like a solid discussion on that for 30 minutes. So that's what I love about the community. That's amazing. Yeah, definitely. We had just a chat question on where do you get started? So you just touched upon it, tried to get involved, tried to start conversations, asked those questions. Like there's really no question that should not be asked because it's bringing back up the awareness of like, hey, actually there are many people, most people are just starting to learn about all of that. So what are some of the other advice that you would give students who are joining right now or want to get involved? I'd love to just capture all of the points that you can all you had mentioned.  Like being a student is hard.  Like that's not it. And I'm scrolling on red, I was scrolling on red yesterday. And there was like all these people talking about, it was under CS undergrad or something like that or CS students or something.  Like doing this is crappy. Like being in school, having to juggle so many life responsibilities at the same time, it's crazy. And honestly, like I remember being in school and just feeling like, well, I don't know what I want to do outside of my classes. And I think some really good advice that I got beforehand was something called the do something principle. And it really speaks to some of the things that you all had mentioned. And it's just this idea that if you do something, anything out there and you put it out there, that it'll inspire yourself and give you motivation to continue the cycle. So you can look it up. It's called the do something principle. It's comprised of three parts, right? It's action, inspiration and motivation. And these three kind of pieces feed into each other. And so it's just a really good way to get out of a rut. Just do something, anything, even if it's just going outside and like you're really stressed out, sure. Maybe while you're on that walk, you can type something on your social media. You can start a page or start a YouTube channel, like the least registered for a YouTube account. It's small stuff like that, but it'll get you excited about what it is that you're trying to do. And for me, who's very like, I'm introverted, so I like to think about all of my thoughts before I do anything. But then that often puts you in this kind of silo where you're just consistently going through all your thoughts and no one understands exactly what you're thinking about until you go and do it. And even you don't understand everything and how things will unfold until you start doing something. So that's just something that I would give to myself as advice if I could go back like three, four, five years. I think that's really amazing advice and it's really applicable to the space. Like when you're exactly like I mentioned, when you see this landscape, you're like, oh my God, what am I getting myself into, right? But then it's like really just start small. Start with one thing, like as small as possible even, right? Break it down and then start there and this will motivate you further to get further involved. And then along the way, sharing the knowledge publicly, you might meet people in the hallway tracks to then get you further excited to learn more, right? So it's like this kind of like the snowball rolling effect. So it's not about nobody expects anybody to know this entire landscape from day one, right? That would be crazy, yeah. I would love to hear your thoughts on that. Yeah. Oh, you're still here. No, do you want to add something, Leah? My connection is really bad. So that's the reason I've been quiet. Sorry about that. So I think another important aspect is to leverage a community, like I don't know, a lot of people know about all the different community groups that are available. And if you go to community.cncf.io, there's local community groups all over the place. So find what's local to you and participate, you know, go to talks, listen to people talk, and that gives you local connections within your region and close to you that can also serve as a point of contact, you know, as a means to support. You're getting your entry point. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I really like this comment. Nobody knows the entire landscape. Big fan of iron cold water. So yeah, that's true. When I was in like in San Diego, there was this contributor summit over there. Also, they mentioned like, you know, no, no, see, like there might be like one or two people, but in general, like the entire ecosystem is very, very big. And also, yeah, there's one more good point over here that beginner questions are also a great way for people to, people who have been around for a while to learn because when you are explaining something to someone, your knowledge is also enhanced. Richard Feynman technique. So that's a great way like to learn as well to teach others. Oh yeah, that's that's great.  So the problem that I see many students face has been that they are stuck in the tutorial hell.   So what happens is in my universities and colleges, at least like months and months go by and they're like, hey, I'm learning for the past few months, but I'm not getting anything out of it. So I'm like, you're not getting anything out of it because you're not applying whatever you're learning. So you can do that in many ways. You can contribute to open source. You can start a YouTube channel to each others, you know, and you can make projects. You can write a blog or article or something like that, but just apply whatever you're learning because then you will get some motivation as well.  I'm actually applying whatever time learning. That's just some good points. Yeah. Awesome. Hey, everybody, I need to drop because I'm having really, really bad connection problems. So I'm having a hard time hearing our fantastic panel here. So Anais, I'll let you... I will take over. Thank you for joining. You're awesome. Thank you all. I hope you're having a great time and we'll keep seeing each other. Bye. Thank you, bye-bye. Awesome. Yeah. Just quickly. I didn't learn on the go as like the go lang. All good. It's probably what time is it where you are? It's a bit late, right? 9 p.m. something. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. My brain wouldn't function probably at that time. Yeah. No, it's definitely... When I was studying like, studying full-time for two years and then I dropped out and started an online degree while I started to work a few years ago. And I remember like, at that time when I was studying full-time, I didn't know what I could do, right? And now I'm seeing all those initiatives that are available for students. And I'm just looking and I'm like, wow, I would love to have the time now to do them, right? Like, know that I learned about them, but I wish more students would know about them and take advantage of all those... Like, there are many opportunities that students can get involved right now. Also, like, especially within the CNCF. So I think that's, yeah, that's great. And also your initiative. A special thing is coming for the students by CNCF. So stay tuned. We'll share about it later on. Yeah. Awesome. Follow Kunai if you want to stay up to date with that. And CNCF. The bill will probably, like, we'll also share in CNCF account. So, yeah, follow the CNCF Twitter handle as well. Or there are, like, some nice opportunities coming on for you. And by the way, like, also Linux Foundation internships for CNCF, they are closing on 17th. In case you're interested, you can check that out as well. Great shout out. And also throughout the year, I think there are multiple mentorship programs, also within projects. Speaking of projects, what are your favorite projects? How do you get involved with new projects? We just mentioned you can pick any of those projects on a landscape. How do you get started with any of those projects? Yeah, definitely you can go ahead. Yeah. As someone who's used many of the projects, you really didn't have to. It's interesting. It's always interesting. Every project has, like, a repository, at least the ones that are in the CNCF, right? If you're a CNCF project, that's usually the top place to start for me as well. And so when I was a consultant, I used to have to run multiple solutions and we'd build matrices that would do to feature comparisons, depending on what the client wanted. And so it was really important to go into there, have all of the resources available, and also just reach out to find out who's contributing. That's the biggest thing for me. Nowadays, if I can't get started within the first one to two hours, like it's just not working, right?  Who's been working on this the most? Who can I reach out to and just ask them? There are so many times when someone's just been really, really receptive to answering questions. And there's nothing wrong with you going into the Slack channel or joining their community and being like, hey, I'm having a hard time. This is where I'm at. This is what I've tried. Here's my environment. As long as you put in all of that information, so they have enough context, it's a great way to get started. Yeah, nowadays, if there's something wrong that I don't understand and I'm trying this project for whatever reason, I have the confidence to know that it might not just be me, especially at this rate. It's at this kind of level. We're just trying to make these products and projects as usable as possible. And that's the goal, right? It's not just that we're expanding this landscape and that we're expanding what it means to do cloud-native computing. We're also simplifying it. I think that's why there's so many solutions out here now. Earlier, I joined a session on when Prometheus can't take the load. And they're going over some of the solutions that are out there now that will help you do high availability or cross-cluster, basically supporting monitoring through that. And it's just solutions like that that are in the space. And you need a lot of context to be able to understand, well, why do I even need a solution like that? And so if you don't get that initially, you're not going to be able to. If it's not on those pages, if there's not someone talking to you, you're not going to be able to get that context. It just doesn't exist. And so that's why I think it's so important to reach out. Yeah, most definitely. And speaking of reaching out, and it was a very good talk, like the Prometheus one by Liron. I really like the structure. Like they first talked about the limitations and all the M3s and Thanos and Cortex and everything. So it was a very... I really loved that talk. But speaking of asking questions, I believe it's really important to ask questions in public. And that's why you have the community calls of many projects. If projects don't have community calls, you should. Like monthly community call or something. It's like a great way to like, even at least a month, it's a great way for people to just join in, ask questions and learn. And the reason is like asking good questions is also a skill when you're first starting out. Because most of the time I get questions like, hi, that's it, nothing else, just a hi. And I'm like, because if you're talking about open source contributions, you're going to be probably working with people across various time zones, right? So if you send a hi, that person is going to send a hi again after let's say 12 hours or something. And then 12 hours or later, you will see that and you will be like, hey, I had a question. And then they'll be like, okay, sure. Now 24 hours and a day and two have gone by and your query is still not resolved. That's why like asking good questions is very, very important. And why do I say ask questions in public? Because it's going to help you only because first people will see that you're engaging and your question will be answered quickly because more people will see it. So more people will be able to answer because not everyone checks their DMs regularly, right? But in group, many people would be able to provide their inputs. So yeah, communication is key for when starting with a new project. Yeah, a lot of times if you just post it in public and it's far more likely that the person who will spend hours helping you will see it, right? It's far less likely if you reach it directly to people that they will be able and be in a position where they can spend hours helping you.  But it's far more likely that people will take the time and help you and help you figure things out. And a lot of times they will have to figure it out with you ultimately. So there's nothing wrong in asking it. Now if we have like about four minutes, five minutes left, is there anything else you would like to share about today, anything that's gotten you excited for the next KubeCon? Anything you would like to share with people and like as a take this advice or information or check this out? That's really helped me. No? Okay, I can go. If you are joining it for the first time, I'm sure you might have received like a lot of nice insights from the conference. So do share it about it with your friends as well because I know like the North America one is definitely like there is going to be an option, I believe for a virtual platform as well for people who cannot be at in there in person, sort of like a hybrid event. So I believe this is great because not everyone can attend the in-person events. And so yeah, just share about it. Also these talks will be like recorded so you can watch it later on. But yeah, don't be afraid to like get involved and just network with people. Just communication is key. Like I can see someone in the comments as well. So yeah, just keep to ask questions and see where you can help out and forget about like the landscape. People even feel overwhelmed when looking at the code base of a particular project. So that's also fine. You don't have to like know each and every single. I got a question. Like, hey, I do. I understand that each and every single file of this project as a beginner. I'm like, no, as a beginner, you don't have to. It's not a question. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, that's a valid question. But these like projects are divided into like modules and packages, right? So you can like look at one particular one. Good first issues existing over there for a reason. If you're not able to find a good first issue, you can just put it on the mailing list like, hey, I'm a beginner. Can you suggest me some issues I can get started with or something? Documentation, for example, you can start with that. But yeah, even fixing typos is a valid contribution. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.  Like, I think it's just take advantage of all the resources that are out there. You know, I used to say like freeze for me. And I think that applies for this, you know, there's so many resources within the CNCF for like learning, for building your network, for whatever it is, whatever your goal happens to be. So feel free to take advantage of those things. And I think this year has just been really great with the one on one track as well. Like I was watching over some of the sessions in that track and just to, you know, figure out, well, what's new here? What's going on? And even as someone who's not a one-on-one person, like I, you know, I was a senior consultant, senior DevOps engineer, like I am still learning a lot of things and I think it's really awesome to be able to do it that way. And so don't feel bad about, you know, even things being labeled as beginner friendly or one-on-one. Like you'll be able, you just know that those, those things are well produced or well thought out because someone's geared it into this format where it's really simplified and, you know, you can take it and run with it. So do exactly that, right? And I think that's a really great message from the both of you as well, like very inspiring to be able to follow your work and see that as well. So that's, that's incredible for me. Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing both and joining here. And everybody else who's watching, thank you so much for joining us for this week, Al. Just one last, last thing. Please. Yeah, check out, check out this cncf slash mentoring repository on GitHub. It has like a lot of initiatives for people who are starting out like Google Son of Code, Outreach, e-season of docs, Linux, LFX. And there's one more for research and something which recently they started. So yeah, it's very good. That's going to be really helpful. So cncf slash mentoring, yeah? Mentoring, yeah, yeah. Awesome. Awesome. On GitHub, check it out and get involved and message people. Completely blend about it. Just get in touch and say, hey, I need help of this because there's so many amazing people who want to help. Awesome. Thank you. Thank you everybody for joining. This was really amazing and really insightful. Thank you so much for sharing that. Yeah. Yeah, this was great. Awesome. Thanks everyone for joining. I see 200 something people. That's really awesome. Good start.

Hello everybody, welcome back to another 10 a day video. Today's prompt, the one that I'm drawing, is animals in action. So the day that I drew this, I was super duper like not into it. And so there's not a lot of recording time for this one. I did get it done, but you'll notice a little towards the end that it did get really really crappy. I did do the anatomy, so hopefully that was enough. I doubt it. But I did do the 10 as difficult as it was for me that day. But I did have a little bit of fun towards the beginning drawing the animals, especially this panda. I downloaded this picture from Google, and it was a picture of a panda, and it looked like the panda was dancing, and then the side panda was like chilling. I feel like I'd have to put that picture on there, but hopefully I edit that in, and we'll find out later. But I really liked that picture, and I ended up using it as a meme later, because why not? And yeah, why not? This is a baby pig. The one that I'm drawing right here, that's a baby pig.   I kind of wanted to draw, when I was drawing this, because I noticed that I watch a lot of 10-a-days, and they ink over some of their paintings, or drawings, drawings, yeah, drawings. They ink over some of their drawings, and I wanted to do that, but I kind of had really crappy paper with this, because I couldn't get a sketchbook in a short amount of time, so I ended up just having to use a bunch of computer paper that I had lying around. And with the computer paper, I had to make it double-sided, because I didn't have very many papers as it was. And so it's computer paper and double-sided inking would have just made the pages look super ugly, and ended up not doing that. But I kind of wish I did for aesthetic purposes, which kind of sucks. But, you know, I can't complain about it too much, considering it provided me a lot of drawing paper anyways, so that was always nice, and that was always pretty radical, yeah. Okay, so for day six, I'm not drawing in my room right here, because it was actually raining outside, and I can hear it from the kitchen, rather than I can hear it from my room, because first of all, my room has no screen on it, and it's just directly to the outside, and then right outside my window is a bush, and right in that bush are gigantic spiders, especially right now, when it's getting into summer, it's the worst. I was drawing right here so that I could listen to the rain while it rained, and so I think the lighting will change a little bit, because I kind of relied on sky lighting at this point, and though I think I might have had the flash on. Actually, I did have a flash on, but I change environments. See, right here, right here. Yeah, I moved once the rain stopped, so I was like, well, I'm done. I also heard hail cannons outside, which my dog was freaking out about, and a pork pupper, but yeah, the rain was pretty nice, especially for living in California, where we have recently gotten zero rain, except, well, recently we've gotten rain, but before that recently, we did not get any rain, and as most of the world probably knows, we were in a drought, but I think we're getting out of that, I think. Most of the, actually, all of the drawings in here that I drew are all characters from the comic that I'm supposed to be working on, but really haven't worked on, and when I was choosing what I was going to draw, I really kept in mind the characters' personalities and where they would be and what they'd be doing, except for one of them. The one where it was really high up, that was the first drawing, and she's like leaning over the side. That one didn't really have character personality in there.  With this one, this one's actually based off of another drawing that I did a while ago, but I thought I would use it because it was my character in an environment, and Kaija was, it was from her Snapchat story, her, of course, fake Snapchat story. Kalia's trying to get her onto the glass bridge, and this is her on the glass bridge freaking out, and I think I'm gonna do something with that later, because I actually, with the things that I drew in here, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna use at least some of these later, like Kalia visiting the Winchester Mansion house, which she'll see towards the end, but, and low key, this kind of helped me develop one of my character's personalities, the one that I'm drawing right now. He was a very basic character before I drew this, like I had a very basic and low understanding of him because I hadn't really developed him very much. I actually spent most of my effort and time on, um, I spent most of my time on Kaija and Kalia and a little bit of Amelia, and so he wasn't, he wasn't very developed, and when I was drawing him like in the gaming room and like up against things, I realized what a dork he was, like, have you guys ever had that where your characters just develop into random things? Because I do, and it happens all the time, and they are all completely different people from when I first started. So that's how that goes. These are the final drawings, guys. I hope you enjoyed. Look at that derpy-looking pig. Well, that sea lion actually wasn't too bad. That was probably the one I had the most fun drawing. Oh, and the dog goes Newman! That's not the dog. The dog! Look at him, he's Newman! But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed. I hope you guys come back for, I think I'm posting it tomorrow, tomorrow's Tana Day challenge, and then come Monday I will have Sunday, Saturdays posted, so see there's the parkour one. So I hope you guys are back for those. Bye!


That's honestly why I design clothes like not to get too sappy like I like clothes but a lot of it if you root it down is I like clothes because like the confidence they give me. Welcome to the video y'all. Salamike! We're fitted, we're kiddie man week two.  Big deadlifts all week. Today is a heavy squad day. Tomorrow is a pause deadlift day which shall be heavy and then I'm hitting the road. So stay tuned to the video be sure to like this thing give this thing a thumbs up, subscribe, comment below how you guys are liking the series and if I can help answer any strength questions or fun along the way but today we got a top-posed triple squat and then a bunch of quad work so we're gonna get a little juicy had some cheez-its yesterday so I might get that you know fake cheese pump. Streams are starting though if y'all trying to get weird with it twitch.tv slash Salamike with 2k's I think we're gonna go Tuesday Thursday Saturdays and I'm already assembling the Avengers of fitness to come stream with me so we're gonna have some dope guests on the stream they'll probably be streaming too they may not but they'll be gaming with us so stay tuned for that if you guys like gaming if you like shit talking if you like a community and just having fun live streaming is by far my favorite platform trust me I love y'all YouTube love it you guys helped me so much and I like sharing but live streaming is my jam and it's what I want to do the rest of my life if I could choose one thing so I'll see you guys there we're gonna try to build up that community. I got and fight with a rattlesnake and lion at the same time and the pussy cat tried to scratch me I said nah pussy yeah you should see him mother fucker hanging on my wall give me your best angry cat no no you're not gonna make me do this I'll put it online yeah you do it first something like that like it gets in here you know my best cat is the fuck kind of lion are you fighting the soreness is the way that's not bad right like three four days really bad soreness back's a little pump kind of a lazy weekend I need to move a little more on the weekends so like Saturday the gigs I deadlifted but then Sunday I need to go for like a walk or something I think kind of prep my shit for this start getting back in the flow like trying to be in a optimize everything you can like you can train and get somewhere but training while you feel good you know it's a much different process like how you sleep how you eat I like a burger and like yeah the calories help for stuff like this but I just don't feel good you know like a bacon burger all that so trying to find that of like having fun mentally eating more calories mentally recovering but still not being a lazy bum like it's not optimal there's like train your tits off and then just lay on a couch and eat donuts all day a little bit of walking you know a little bit you know some nutrition maybe a vegetable here in there mother fuckers might help coming in I just wonder where I'm and I think part of the reason why it's difficult for you to hold on to your brace while you're in the position that you're in or hold excuse me to hold the pause while you're in the position that you're in is because of your racing so you you haven't had this tendency to kind of use a lot of body English when you're going and you're almost kind of raising your chest I'm over exaggerating but you're really raising your chest and as a result of that your rib cage is kind of pointing away from the direction of your pelvis generally speaking kind of crushed you don't know I got such a big pelvis so it's still pointing that way cage a little bit more in line with the pelvis is going to make it easier for you to have your torso function as one unit right which is what we want in the squad we want the torso with the torso to move through spaces if it's one complete unit despite the fact that our spine typically wants to wants to go in different directions we don't want that we want to ignore that a lot of times people always talk about having your chest up right we don't want to do that we want to let our not necessarily let our chest fall but we want our rib cage in line with our pelvis so that we can move through space easier so what I want you to do right anything else before you after you've walked out I want you to actually expel a little bit of air so if you put your hands right here with me if you go and expel air you should feel your rib cage come down a little bit that's kind of that feeling we want to chase and then we want to actively contract our abs before breathing in so breathe out and track those abs should feel like you know it's kind of hard to talk and then and only then do we breathe in breathe in breathe in breathe in through either our nose or perched lips okay this is as close as a kiss wish me good luck on my next set hurts those lips daddy yeah now notice there wasn't any body English there my my rib cage did not come up at all I just breathed in created a solid brace work on that thank you coach yes go put the cues into motion I just wanna win I'm on ten again pump up the active if he never heard of been dopey just napping Jackson's off the rapping keep it on my body time broke if you ask it was for we fucked up was we five that's oh my god he was just jousted me what is this King Arthur's court so you running at me like this he tried to just hit me like a seafood skewer on two things that come to mind three maybe one we're trying to build muscle or build strength a lot of a lot of people have known it something we've done for a very long time but there's a couple of recent studies that have confirmed it that frequency training to the muscle group or at lift two to three times a week versus one times a week I think volume antiquated so volume is the same the amount of muscle strength you build is literally like double makes sense though right when it when it all these old bro splits and people to annihilate their biceps where they're training every seven days in the in the sake of recovery is bullshit because we don't really want to recover what we want to do is adapt so we want to keep throwing stimulus and adapt to it adapt to it adapt to it cause ourselves to grow point number two when considering programming there's also studies but it's been kind of an argument but there's just no there's no argument to be had that building muscle and having more muscle and building muscle over time is essential and so important to building strength that doesn't mean like the because then people like oh well bodybuilders aren't jack will know or bodybuilders aren't strong but the number one is that in your physical form if I could get more muscle I'm gonna be stronger as me and building more muscle over time more strength is gonna be best number three building muscle in a rep range what's the best rep range people ask that all time like oh you got to do 10s to 15s you don't it's basically shown again that anywhere from like threes all the way up to I believe like 15s or 20s as long as we're getting the intensity there meaning how close to failure how hard we're pushing it each set with the recovery with the protein is all gonna be the same so the fact that powerlifting or doing triples or fours like today can't build muscle is just incorrect if I'm a couple reps shy failure and I'm pushing myself we'll build muscle doing two is three is four is five's we don't have to do sets of ten on deadlift to build more muscle for the tiktokers out there that are all about the RDL for some reason and your only argument that you have is that there's an eccentric load rather than just a concentric like a deadlift itself well how about we just deadlift slower if you think deadlift build no muscle and deadlift the most useless risk to reward to build muscle or be a good athlete I think you're full of shit I think powerlifting is literally the second safest sport on the planet besides bodybuilding if you want to call that a sport or activity because bodybuilding you can choose different exercises but there's more less injury in powerlifting than every other sport across the country you're gonna go to every seventh and eighth grade basketball court and say risk to reward you kids you're gonna hurt your ankles no when you're getting better or doing physical activity yes there's risk to building but you were talking about a lot of times people will antiquate that tour or talk to versus a football player or a basketball player not deadlifting their sport in themselves is way more likely to get an injury upon impact upon random occurrence or even just as an athlete itself so you're gonna tell them not to scrimmage you're gonna tell them not to run you're gonna tell them not to do suicide drills that's going to cause way more injury weight the likelihood of injuries way beyond a deadlift so we want to build muscle why don't we just slow down the eccentric of the deadlift make it more like an RDL where you can handle more load that way I don't know man you guys can let my work speak for itself you know you can build a dumper doing some conventional there's not uncle duties we actually talked about on the podcast too Abby said I'd be a bad dad I said I just can't see him as a dad my little nephew Tyka some of you may know if you watch part in jail go ahead and start make a magic poor little homies had going through some health stuff and so they're trying to figure out why he's maybe having some seizures and he had a couple and then now they didn't find what they needed so they're doing a 24 hour one and so a poor dude's got to have it and it just broke my little heart Geo posted saying that he feels weird or that he's extra and so I want to let him know that he doesn't look weird and that I think he looks cool and so I'm gonna do a deadlift set with the same I think he's got like prods going you know like a little metal sticker things and when you're a kid bro even in high school I remember like feeling dumb or looking dumb you know like you get self-conscious all the way up to like 17 18 even adults deal with it right that's like that's honestly why I design clothes like not to get too sappy like I like clothes but a lot of it if you root it down is I like clothes because like the confidence they give me in the outfits I wear like it makes me feel cool and like there's nothing to it right it's fabric my fabric is the same as that fabric but in basketball growing up and all sports going out whatever like looking good and feeling good it's such a different confidence builder and so if I can design things that make you feel cool or feel good that confidence will go into different areas of your life and like that was the root of all why buy sneakers it's not to like flex like oh I got these other expensive sneakers it's because certain sneakers certain fits make me feel cool and sometimes we all need that man despite I never call myself like a non-confident human we're even talking about it I usually be called cocky a lot but I've always been very confident who I am but everyone needs to set routine and we talk about routine and habits to to feel good to set yourself up for success I think the mentality we have going every day if it's as dumb as something wearing a cool hat makes you feel cool and do better I think you do it


Since its inception in 2006, Exercise Iron Fist has served to develop and strengthen the U.S.-Japan relationship to plan, communicate, and conduct combined amphibious operations. For the first time, the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, American amphibious ready group, and members of the Japan Self-Defense Force, conducted Iron Fist 2023 on Japanese soil. The five-week exercise focused on challenging our combined forces in a more complex and rigorous training environment, showcasing our ability to seamlessly work together to secure and defend key maritime terrain.


So I can certainly understand the perspective of teachers who feel very nervous about their capacity to support children who are who are experiencing complex trauma And I think it's really important to make a distinction There are clinical ways to address trauma and there are non clinical ways to address trauma And I don't think anybody is asking we're not asking our teachers to be clinicians I think we need to be really clear about that. We do not expect our teachers to be clinicians And we do not expect our teachers to resolve trauma. I Think we can expect our teachers to be non clinical professionals With the tools necessary to sit beside and work with trauma in a good way, and that's a very different thing It's also less frightening But to be able to do that I think we need to be able to provide teachers with a framework to understand that distinction and Some very concrete skills and approaches that they can utilize on a daily basis While recognizing the reality of their lives like what are tools and approaches that can be mobilized when you're one adult Who's responsible for 28? I mean these need to be fairly expedient. They need to be tools that can be mobilized quickly They need to be tools that can be integrated into the rhythm of a classroom But there are tools like that that exist
