you are here today hello everyone with the glasses crew it's pretty sunny it's hot out today but unlike our content which is not full of hot air the Arizona is welcome welcome everyone to monday's live stream we've been doing these monday live streams for a little bit less than a month right now on monday we talked specifically about mount Kilimanjaro about the mountain prepare for the mountain everything you need to know about that mountain if it's an adventure that you are curious about so that's what we're gonna do today we're just gonna wait for a little bit here to see if we will have any folks who join in and then we'll go ahead and get started in the meantime i will show off my fancy shirt mm i hope it's not backwards for you it's backwards for me it's uh it's pretty nice t-shirt i made this one honestly we had no intentions to talk about the t-shirt today but since we're talking about it i had i had the pair um mine says i am here for the mountains and then alex says i am here for her which is pretty cool and then mine is orange and then his is blue we've got them on our website teespring in case you're curious and i had no intentions of sharing this part i was like oh he's wearing it so why not so shameless slash impromptu yeah amazon affiliate stuff or what is this it's a tea spring tea springs is a tea spring yeah i created a long time ago but anyway uh today we are going to talk specifically about how to prepare physically for mount Kilimanjaro there are so many other things that you have to prepare for to climb the mountain but we will focus about we'll focus on physical preparation to climb Kilimanjaro just a couple of things that we learned and a couple of things that we are doing and hopefully they are going to help you if it's an adventure that you are interested in or if you are interested on doing any big climb of that magnitude sure and i've already got a couple of extra bonus preparation things sneaking at the end so um just to get things started right here i already see one person joining and then hey mark i'm mark hello hello i see two thumbs up so thank you guys for that but we're gonna since we have 30 minutes for these on day livestreams we're going to try to keep this simple and we're going to break physical activity into three categories we will talk about strength training or yeah strength training endurance training and then cardiovascular training three main categories and then we would you know just give some examples of things that you should do definitely i guess we could start it with strength then in this case this is going to be unless actually let you define it so that i don't run wild with it but yeah so um basically um and last in one of our previous livestreams we talked about the mountain and we talked about the routes to get up to the mountain so typically in order for you to climb mount Kilimanjaro it will take a couple of days for you to get to the top of the mountain between five to six days sometimes longer sometimes shorter depending on the route that you are changing you are choosing but you're gonna be hiking for a long period of time for many days and it's day after day after day after day so really when we talk about strength we want to make sure that you can walk for an extended amount of time you can just keep going and keep going day after day so that would be obviously by either going on some long hikes um if you have hiking trails that are you know accessible to you or you could go to the gym and then just walk long hours on the treadmill to build that strength and for me with the strength stuff it's a matter of putting a lot of the bags and a lot of the weight that I have on there with me uh some of the stuff that I noticed most recently uh we tried out a couple of different bags because we want to make sure that when we're training we're still trying to recreate the situation that we're gonna have and we're on the mountain so even though we might be doing a smaller hike I'll have a pretty full bag hubby when I've been to the gym where we'll fill up and the other day uh we were taking a camera with a zoom lens and the zoom lens is pretty big and pretty heavy and we like to use these peak design um clips that you can put on your belt or you can put on your on your uh your backpack straps and it was really tugging down on the right side and that spot just knowing that that was there uh was something for me but we also started to wear bags and we know that you know the other day mine weighed 26 pounds when I was gone which let's be honest it is a little heavy but that's somebody on purpose but we have um all of our all of our stuff that we need when we go to the gym we'll make sure that we also are walking uphill we're trying to recreate some of that environment so that we can do uh leg workouts and then you've also got your other training things so so that's uh that's kind of Alex is touching here on the endurance training really making sure that uh you know not only you have the strength of walking for an extended amount of time but there will be a lot of stress on your lower back on your shoulders on your knees and you want to kind of recreate the situation that you're going to be in when you are in the mountain so if you go hiking outside you want to take a backpack with the same amount of weight that you're going to be carrying same shoes even same hiking clothes and um like I said if you don't have access to trails you could just go to the gym and use the the incline and just walk for a long period of time with your hiking clothes uh with your hiking shoes and with the backpack on with some weight I would definitely agree there with use the same clothing that you're going to use I've said it a few times kind of in a joking manner but really like the right socks the right underwear the right pants the right shirt the right hat everything uh if you walk in it for a while you will get familiar with the things that bug you and don't bug you about your equipment that might not be strength exactly but that's something that you can get while you're doing those other workouts yeah hey Mike just saw a comment from you so we're really just talking about how to train for Mount Kilimanjaro which touched on the importance of uh endurance training and then strength training and then lastly cardiovascular training sure and a lot of these mixed together uh for the cardiovascular for me I would say nothing beats getting on the mountain for us one of the things we're trying to do is prepare for the high altitude in the way that we have to work hard while we're at altitude and you might see some videos online where they'll take someone's pulse ox they'll use a pulse ox hammer they'll stick a little thing on someone's finger they'll try to check your blood oxygen content really want to make sure that your heart can pump enough blood around your system to get oxygen to the parts of your body that need them so we're trying to make sure that we can do some high heart rate workouts uh something that we haven't checked into but we know people have them or oxygen deprivation masks that you can put on I think there's a little bit outside my budget yeah a little extreme yes but they're definitely something that can help prepare you for that as well but nothing beats being exhausted at at at elevation while doing the rest of this stuff so yeah so definitely um I mean to to keep it simple just on the treadmill try to run try to get some cardiovascular exercise to run because when you're gonna be up in the mountain not only you're dealing with the you know hiking for long periods of time but also high altitude thin air and you want to make sure that your heart is gonna be able to to handle all of that stress and I will say one of the things that I mean I've been concerned about myself and and we we got to address a little bit this weekend while we were out hiking uh you don't only have to go up the mountain you also have to go down yeah and to have ankle strength in that case knee strength or or for that matter your back strength is when you're coming down even having the right equipment via hiking poles and such and these are you know these are pieces of equipment that assist you in expressing the right level and strength and such it's kind of hard to divorce all of these things from each other but to have that uh that practice going downhill as well I found out the other day the treadmills in our gym actually do go at a decline um not as far as they go in an incline but then you can practice walking downhill as well and some of that stress on your on your knees and your ankles and even if you have on uneven footing to have the right shoes and such too and and to make sure that you've got this the mental sort of stamina to pick good spots to put to put your feet and be aware of where you're walking all the time you really only get by being exhausted or by doing some longer things and then testing yourself and then doing the workout but all different mentalities yeah definitely uh strength endurance and cardiovascular training are all important but like Alex said nothing beats being on an actual high mountain because talking about mountain climbing jar specifically uh you're pretty high up so if you're not used to being at high altitude I think it's important to take the time to travel somewhere with high elevation and do a little bit of hiking just to kind of understand how your body handle it because some people can handle the elevation pretty well some people start start struggling at 10,000 feet some people start struggling at 12,000 feet some people are okay with the elevation it really just depends it doesn't impact all people it's not like one rule for for everyone so really getting up in a high mountain is pretty important so on top of that I think the other important sort of training is mental training sure because most of the work in high mountains like that is your mental ability to to keep going and just embrace the suck throughout the way oh if I have any blue band friends I would be happy to see that for me at that point the the mental fortitude to choose to keep going is a very important thing to have I would say less often but still equally important and that's just because I usually want to push to the top but that you also have to know when you're done yes um and you won't really know where that line is where that limit is unless you kind of push yourself a bit beforehand but to know what to expect when you get up there and you are out of oxygen you're frustrated you're fatigued you can you can become more stressed very easily by little things that other people do and to have practice in that environment or to hike with the people that you're going to hike with or with the equipment that you're going to hike with and to be able to experience that stress and and and really kind of embrace it as a way to figure out how to deal with it in a reasonable manner is another thing that both you and the people you're hiking with will benefit from obviously people need to become aware of your tendencies when you hike and say that you need to become aware of theirs as well so I'd say having a little group of people as well that you hike with if you if you're also going to be on the mountain that you kind of keep those those people together and you you hike they usually say that uh at high elevation everything is amplified if you're happy your happiness level is extreme and if you are angry your level of being angry is also amplified so I think it's important to um you know make sure that you if you were hiking you're hiking with a group of people and you're going to stay together support each other just to know everyone's character and how they handle the elevation as well um I see that we have a couple of people joining us again and so thank you yeah a couple of thumbs up thank you guys so let's tackle some of the questions here before we get going we've got Mark hike with Mike Mike's the gut question is Kilimanjaro higher in elevation than Denali aka McKinley I gotta I gotta step back my understanding from last time we talked is no uh feel free to look this up here I don't want to say that I've prepared this but uh McKinley I thought was uh 20,320 feet if that sounds right I remember making a statement that they had the polite number patterns and Kilimanjaro's below 20,000 at that point no people will verify that for me here in a second but I'm quite positive that Denali is actually higher I can't see anything I'm totally blind sorry Denali elevation yeah I feel like it's uh something that I should know but uh they're very close in number I'd say in 20,310 but I mean come on I'm off 10 feet I'm I'm pretty sure the other one quoted maybe there's some snow and Kilie is what oh Kilimanjaro is 19,000 Kilimanjaro elevation like 19,341 okay so Mount Denali is pretty high and I think uh it's not only that it's not about the elevation of Mount Denali but Denali is a technical hike it's not like Kilimanjaro it's there is a huge difference Kilimanjaro Kilimanjaro Kilimanjaro an average hiker like ourselves can go can train get the necessary gear and make it up the mountain with some determination and some preparation but on Mount Denali it's a very technical hike and not only that but you will have to kind of drug all of your equipment and they usually use sleds to haul everything up the mountain so it's a pretty difficult hike and you obviously want to know how to use ice axe, crampons, glacier travel, roping up and all that type of important stuff oh my god we've got a lot of people today so we're saying Mark's saying Denali is 20,000, 320,000, hey see I wasn't I wasn't wrong that's what I remember very cool in North America Kilimanjaro 19,340 yeah I think the stuff I looked up there was kind of hard to keep track of all of the numbers especially because they are very close so yeah that's all the type of training for Kilimanjaro just to talk a little bit about what we've been up to we try to go to places with high elevation can I get there's some things in there still if we're still on the topic Habib and I went on a hike the other weekend and forgive me if it sounds like a bad bit of and we just drove right up from where we live to that place there was about 11,000 foot difference between where we started and where the top of the mountain was and we definitely felt ourselves getting some headaches we were a little concerned at the time like wow if that hurts like we're only 12,000 something to feed like how are we going to make it to almost 20 and then we went on another trip this weekend this past weekend that was actually higher than that even and um I'm obviously not revealing anything if you hadn't said anything I don't know no that's fine I did actually share a picture earlier today we this weekend we submitted the highest peak in New Mexico wheeler peak and it was pretty amazing 13,000 180 164 183 something like that um but anyway but we uh climatized better for this we camped out in the area and then we hiked up we felt like a million bucks we had a great time on the site yeah and uh to have the ability when you go out to do those training hikes too we're already dealing with this we have jobs right and it's kind of weird if we're going to go out and do a big tall hike we're talking about doing another big one in a bit here uh we want to go out there at least a day in advance at least to go acclimatize and the the act of training for these things requires an extra day of prep we're trying to leave on Thursdays take Friday off so that we can get a day to prep then a hike on Saturday perhaps and then maybe commute home on Sunday that or you would give up your Monday yeah but um so that's that's kind of just to say that it's important to acclimatize on the mountain you just don't want to because on that on the trail that we did this weekend I talked to a couple of people who are flying from Texas and Texas is not you know just what 2000 thousand but we're at 1600 feet here in Phoenix so not better than Phoenix and they just try to climb the mountain and they can't do it it's a lot of effort because you don't take the time to acclimatize while if you go give it a day for us what we did we just drove to albuquerque it was albuquerque is like 4000 something and then Santa Fe it was like 6000 albuquerque I think was in the fives and 5000 so really just giving yourself the time to acclimatize before going on any um high elevation climb is uh is super helpful and that's the same as recreating the environment with your equipment etc you're we're not just going to start at sea level and hike all the way up to the top of the mountain in one day although it is fun to talk about the records that people have on how fast they can get up and down the mountain anyway yeah i'm not gonna do it anyway i'll save my bonus uh recommendation for later all right let's see do we have any okay no i think we're good can i do my bonus one sure all righty uh we like to watch youtube videos and tv shows about people doing hikes too i find here there are times where i'm sitting down i'm not hiking i'm sitting there being uh you know a dude it's not on the couch um and it's nice to watch some stuff like that from time to time to kind of get you in the in the zone or uh a bit excited about it and uh can definitely pitch out a few things we watched what was it the uh the toughest race what was it the other day it was the eco challenge tough race which was pretty good tv show alone uh where people go out there and survive in the wilderness for a long time but just like other outdoorsy stuff like that or we'll watch other youtube channels of people do and some stuff to get some good motivation for places to go uh hopefully watching this uh with us is is uh is a way for you to sometimes stay in contact with that community at large yeah so just to stay motivated to train because the training you know it takes effort and it takes time and it's sometimes difficult to make the time but we're feeling pretty encouraged and then and then the thing you've been uh really crushing down on here lately has also been diet i mean if you want to make sure you're going up the mountain one of the things to do is to not take that extra 20 pounds with you and if you can figure out how to shed some of your own body weight on the way up in a healthy way mind you not just through like malnourishment but uh that can be um to great benefit as well yeah i've definitely watched some other youtubers who talk about uh climbing and how your diets can affect your performance obviously and a lot of them a lot of these people would change their diets you know just to make it better before they win the climb and make sure that they get a lot of nutritious food and things like that so it's definitely it's been a goal of mine over the past two weeks or so to try to lose some weight and clean up my diet as much as i can that's another form of training you've been picking some different snacks on the trail too in order to kind of help facilitate that yeah um as i've been i've been trying those uh gupax a little like squeezy things and you know i know you don't like cliff bars you're trying the rx bars i think which somebody had recommended here the other day we're cool so i think that's that's about it as far as the training for Kilimanjaro i don't think we have anything else that we want to touch on but uh we've been going for about 19 minutes and we'll just keep chatting if you guys have any questions about the the climb the last weekend or anything so we'll just stay here until we exhaust our 30 minute and then we'll leave you know i'm trying to think the other stuff we were thinking about looking into for the future if i'm just kind of kind of drift on topics here if that's okay um you know what next right like we're excited about all the other stuff we're going to do on this trip don't get me wrong but we're thinking like oh man like we're doing well on this we're excited about all the other preparatory hikes we're doing as a result of uh of Kilimanjaro being on our on our you know future docket here uh what next and i know you elberus was one that popped up and some other things like that or we're just always looking for uh where to set the bar after it's just exciting i like i'm just talking about nothing at this point it's definitely i'm feeling like uh i'm getting a little bit excited after we did Humphreys Peak and then Wheeler Peak this weekend i feel like i'm kind of on a roll to want to do the highest peaks of some of the states that are nearby so i think i don't know i'm just i don't want to commit to anything yet but i feel like before getting to Kilimanjaro if we get to do the highest peak of Colorado Nevada and Utah that will be pretty awesome sure i think i will be it will be great achievement thanks mark thank you mark we're super excited as well we're really trying to figure out how to uh not like make that the only thing we talked about when we go find other people sometimes we're very excited about it actually so no but i think for this uh the Monday live stream i don't i think it was mark but i don't remember someone suggested that we start doing live stream just about Kilimanjaro and i think i'm liking it it's uh it's very enjoyable you can come down to Florida and climb our highest peak approximately 280 feet oh my god what was the other one we heard it was like Louisiana is like something like that as well i was quite impressed by that actually that it was just that flat the whole way yeah it just seems like most of the difficult ones are on our side of the country right well i mean you got the Appalachians obviously uh going up north and Washington mount washington right way up north i just mean like the poking out other things like that too there's but uh but definitely smoky mountains blue ridge mountains west virginia yeah i definitely i'm really thinking about it i i'm not thinking about it just tell alex all the time i can you imagine if we just make it to the highest peak of every state but i i just don't have it in me to set that goal or commit to anything yet so we're just doing whatever we can do right now we're at 13100 i mean if we can get up to to Whitney you know i mean we're we're doing the tall ones at that point it's a matter then of expanding like you were saying earlier on that technical front of which we've taken some classes but it would just be when we commit to it we would want to follow through it's not something that i think we're going to take half heartedly so we're just not doing a lot of ice stuff yet etc etc awesome um the other thing is uh thursday uh we have our live stream for two thousand subscriber celebration yeah there you go when we were up on the mountain this weekend on wheeler peak in new mexico towards the end when we probably had 0.5 mile left i was checking my phone and i had service so i just did a quick live stream to say thank you but obviously i'm really excited because in this thursday's live stream we're gonna get together we're gonna do some giveaways like last time and then we'll just celebrate two thousand subscribers yeah she's a pretty nice milestone so say when we were outside of albuquerque then coming home we did another hike and i'm gonna talk about the comment mark that you have there um we went to uh what was it it was called sibola it might be the city of gold from national treasure there's like this place it started at 10 500 feet we drove our car way up there and then we hiked like a thousand feet and then we came back down and we had a blast wonderful view kind of an exciting drive and we remarked while we were up there hey there's this mountain down by us called mount graham that we've gone by and we saw when we were coming back from the healer wilderness which is a little bit closer to the southern route across from arizona new mexico and we definitely want to go up there we hear you can drive on top of that mountain and i'm guessing you could also probably hike up the side but even for you can bike you can bike to you sure i heard it's one of the most uh sought after bike rides in in the us really yeah holy cow it's like top five or top ten best bike rides okay yeah i'm thinking at the very least even just for a place close to home to do some cool camping at altitude mount graham definitely was on our list is that the same one you're referring to mark the the one in arizona i'm hoping so i'm i don't know you said it was kind of on the southern portion of uh i guess mid-southern portion of arizona in between phoenix and uh maybe there's another mount graham in new mexico uh mike i will be using the mountain house meal i won this weekend when i'm out camping in the back country awesome oh very cool yeah which one which one did you you got uh was that alfredo lasagna i got in the lasagna i think the lasagna lasagna okay yeah because the nishita was the vegan right i think nishita i sent her lasagna curry lasagna yes that's that's my favorite i was like you know what if you don't have any uh dietary restrictions i'm sending the lasagna that's my favorite one too i'll tell you we have learned though even when we were doing um uh humphries and such too that i can't say we do it all the time but how much longer it takes to wait for your food to cook at altitude like oh god those those mountain house meals and such take like 15 minutes already when you're down there and i like oh god i'm up at 12 000 feet i gotta sit here for a half an hour just to wait for my food to


Hi everybody, welcome to Barnes to Take Out. I'm Martha Lucy, Deputy Director for Research, Interpretation and Education at the Barnes, and today we are going to focus on a painting by Pierrot-Goustre Renoir called Bathing Group, and it was painted in 1918. And here it is in Gallery 8 on the first floor of the Barnes Foundation, and it's hanging here above a chest of drawers and in between two saizons, and you can see that Barnes installs this in a really sort of tight kind of interesting way where he's got a triangle of Renoir's integrated with a triangle of saizons here. But let's zoom in on this painting, Bathing Group. So when most people think about Renoir, I think they think about Renoir the Impressionist. His Impressionist period works are the ones for which he is best known, and that period spans generally like the 1870s. This is a late period Renoir, so again it was done in 1918, 40 years after the Impressionist period. So he was going strong 40 years later, and he had this whole other kind of chapter of his career that we don't talk about as much. But it's actually this chapter of his career, especially the last 10 years of his life that Barnes was so interested in. Barnes has 181 works by Renoir in his collection, and about 85% of those are late period Renoir's. And so when we say late period that generally means like late 1890s up until 1919, which is the year that Renoir died. So again, this is painted in 1918. So one year before Renoir died, he was about 78 or 79 years old when he painted this. At this point in his life, he was in a wheelchair. He suffered very badly from rheumatoid arthritis. Maybe you've seen photographs of him, but his hands, he didn't really have the use of his hands. So they were kind of almost kind of curled up on themselves. And he had to hold the paintbrush in between his fingers, and he would have assistants help him with this. When he painted this work, he was living in the south of France. He had moved permanently to the south of France in 1908. He bought a big estate in Caen-sur-Mer, which is not far from Nice, near the Mediterranean. And he lives there until his death in 1919 with his wife and family. And his subject matter really changes when he moves there. He goes from painting a lot of scenes of the city kind of urban life to focusing on scenes like this, scenes of where you're not with no kind of real hint of modernity, these kind of timeless scenes that take place in nature. He becomes obsessed with painting the female nude. He paints hundreds and hundreds of works depicting the female nude, and Barnes collected a lot of them. So he would have painted these figures outdoors. He would have had the model pose outdoors. He loved to look at the way that a model skin captured light. He talked all the time about flesh and skin and light and tactility. And so these models would have been posing outside. You can see that the light hits them and they almost look as if they're glowing from the inside. And his way of painting at this point was very interesting. He paints using very thin paint that, you know, where the paint is kind of very liquid and sometimes kind of drips down the canvas. And he would build up the paint in layers. You can see here how, see how those little nubs, that's actually the canvas weave coming through. That's how thin the paint layers are. And those nubby little kind of white peaks help to create this appearance of flesh that is kind of tactile because he's obsessed with the sense of touch at this point, but also that looks like it's kind of illuminated. So after painting, you know, doing individual paintings of these bodies, he puts them all together in this composition. And it's a strange composition. I mean, this is not a scene that is meant to, he's not trying to convince you that what you're looking at here is something that you would actually come across in nature. I mean, these bodies don't behave really the way that bodies behave.  What is she meant to be doing? This arm looks very kind of artificial, like it's boneless, this kind of J-shaped arm. And he's doing this intentionally.  He's embracing the decorative. At the same time, he is making sure that there is a really strong relationship between the human body and nature in this painting. So look at the way that with all of the bodies, the vegetation kind of follows the contours of the body here and here. It really just kind of echoes her shape. And over here, you know, this log almost looks like it could be an extension of this figure's arm. And also the way that flesh tones, you know, these kind of these kind of pinkish flesh tones are dragged through the landscape. He is really trying to emphasize the relationship between the body and especially the female body and nature. And, you know, possibly he is, and probably he is saying, he is saying something here unconsciously probably about women's role in the natural sphere.  And so it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that the relationship between the female body and nature that he is so beautifully kind of articulating here is some sort of statement. Of course, we don't know for sure. I think that also these, the rhyming that happens between nature and between the body is simply a formal device is another way that Renoir holds this picture together, a way that he kind of creates unity between all the different areas of the composition. But I think that if we think more broadly about the relationship between the body and nature here, the fact that these figures sort of seem so comfortable, so kind of integrated with the landscape, we need to think about it in terms of the period when Renoir is painting this and his feelings about what's going on in the world. And I'm talking about industrialization, I'm talking about technology, the rise of modernity that had really kind of overtaken Paris, where he had spent most of his career. He complained all the time about technology and how people were, you know, forgetting how to sort of live simply. And so I think that part of his obsession with painting bodies in nature like this, I think it's part of his yearning for a kind of pre-modern sort of utopian time when humans were really connected with nature. That's it for today. I hope that you enjoyed Barn's Takeout. Please tune in again soon. Thank you.


Good morning. First of all, you know, LinuxCon is always a great conference, and the Linux Foundation folks put up a good show. You know, when I first started talking to Jim when Linux Foundation was founded in 2007, about 2007, 2006, 2007, it was really about getting developers and customers and users together and making that easy and have a very well managed conference. And Jim always gets on here and says thank you for coming and thank you for joining the LF and all that stuff. But nobody ever thanks Jim and his staff for putting together a great conference. And I was last year, I was talking at LinuxCon in Seattle and I did the same thing. I think we should have a big applause for the Linux Foundation folks. They've always done a really great job. It's like a very professional environment. So anyway, there was talk about 25 years of Linux yesterday and I was watching Jim's keynote where he was talking about how many lines of code changes are every day. And last night, I started using Linux with 0.9.2 something way back in the almost early, early days. And so I downloaded the tar file and untarted and it's about 5 Macs. So 0.99.15 or something way back when it was about 5 Mac source code. So then I downloaded 4.7 and untarted. It's 730 Mac. It's like 130 times difference in many years but it's a massive change. Of course, a lot of device drivers and stuff but it shows that Linux in those 25 years has really grown a lot. And another example of that was the config options that started in 0.99. There's like 100 of them. Now there's probably 16,000. So if somebody wants a PhD project or they're bored, you should put a book together and actually explain all these config options. I think a lot of people would be happy because nobody really knows to make sense of them. Anyway, so I joined Microsoft exactly five months ago today. And to be very honest, a year ago I would not have considered it. And three years ago, absolutely no idea if I would ever even want to talk to them. And so I certainly had a different sentiment many years ago about what Microsoft was doing and certainly around the open source space. But in the last several years the company has changed and in January I personally started talking to some folks at Starbucks outside of the campus. And Scott Guthrie who runs the cloud and enterprise division and Mike Neal who works in that organization, we talked about Microsoft and open source. And what I came away with was open source is actually very important to Microsoft. It has been in the last few years. It's very important going forward because the way they want to grow Azure, the way the company needs to really be more open and seen as an open company in order to grow open source is a critical part of that. Linux specifically but open source in general. And so that has started happening in the last few years. And so in this slide that I show here, you can kind of see how the first thing happened somewhat in 2009. I see KY here in the audience. So Microsoft contributed the Hyper-V drivers to the Linux kernel upstream and that was sort of the first foray into open source and certainly into Linux from Microsoft as a company. But it was specific to enable Hyper-V drivers and run Linux as a guest. And then Azure became popular and started being built out and went to get deployed as a guest. And Azure Docker became interesting and there was some initial work done around Docker. But then you can see in the last year, two year and a half, a lot more things have happened. Visual Studio Code was released last year. It's a really great editor with a lot of extensions for different languages and so forth. It's a very popular code editor that runs on Linux, Windows, macOS. PowerShell DSC is sort of an extension for PowerShell that was released last year. Then another thing that started happening, which I think is also important to understand, is Microsoft actually uses a lot of Linux in-house. A lot of services that are being deployed in Azure actually run on Linux, not just Windows. And so within the company, there's no longer a, it has to be on Windows. In the company when engineers are discussing to build new services or to create new, even new products, it's like whichever OS works best for what we need to do, that's the one we pick. That's a huge difference from two, three and certainly more than that years ago. And it's actually very exciting to see. And you also see that when you talk to the developers. So in my few months at the company, you know, from the outside world, I can tell you I had little visibility. I saw the .NET release a few years ago. It's like, oh, that's kind of cool. And I knew about the Hyper-V drivers, but beyond that, it's sort of a black box. And so when I joined in the end of March, when I started talking to different groups, there's actually a whole lot of stuff out there. And on GitHub, there's hundreds and hundreds of projects that are completely open. The developers work out of the public GitHub trees. That's where they do their day-to-day work. And so within the company, GitHub is also used for private repositories to kind of foster that sort of working together. Teams across the company are trying to be open within the company and then open to the outside world. So it's a big shift, which is actually very exciting to see and one of the reasons I joined. Then another thing that happened, and so it was kind of cool for Jim, Whitehurst to be on stage, Red Hat, and then Microsoft. That's a big difference from many years ago. Anyway, so we have a great partnership with Red Hat. And then we announced SQL Server earlier this year. In March, Microsoft announced SQL Server on Linux. And so that's being productized and somewhere, it's currently in preview, I don't know exact release date. But SQL Server as a production database will be available on Linux. That's a big shift for a company that was Windows on Windows only. And why is that? Because Linux is very important. Because customers are using Linux, customers are using open source, customers have the choice, and then the companies react to that. And it's another testament of how Linux has really sort of taken over a lot of the market. Then what happened last week and Jim mentioned that earlier when he introduced us here, we launched PowerShell. And PowerShell, I don't know how many people here know it, probably not too many, because it's hopefully a pure Linux. The PowerShell guys are right up here. They're the ones taking their hand up. Anyway, so PowerShell is a very important management tool for Windows. It's a framework and a shell, but it's something that pretty much every Windows user, certainly in the enterprise uses. And there's a lot of cool stuff around PowerShell. I wrote a blog, was it yesterday or the day before, and I said it's not a replacement for Bash, it's not. It's not about, hey, here's something you put on Linux and forget about the stuff you used in the past. But it's a nice framework that you can build on. And one of the cool things is we have this huge ISV ecosystem that has built extensions for PowerShell. And now that will also be available on Linux. And another thing is you can do sort of remote management. So you can manage your Windows systems from a Linux server. And you don't have to use an RDP client and play with a GUI. You can actually start managing Windows from a Linux environment in a command line interface, which is kind of cool, because I don't like do is either. And the other way around, so Linux, Windows admins can manage Linux servers and stuff. Anyway, it's a really cool product. And it's completely on GitHub, so it's basically done the way, I guess it should be. It's on GitHub. You file issues there. You can send pull requests. There's no hidden code trees. There's no private code base. It's completely open. Under MIT license, it's completely out there. And I think it's a good example of taking something that's actually quite core to a Windows ecosystem and just saying here it is to the world and make it available. And then I think yesterday, we announced some container management extensions to the operations management suite, which is a Microsoft management product. But it also shows that, again, it's no longer it's a Windows-only world. It's very well known within the company that it's Windows and Linux. And we have to make sure that we attach both. So already talked about PowerShell being open source. I looked at the GitHub API to see the number of downloads. I think last night, there were about 50,000 downloads of the packages if my bash script worked. About 50,000 downloads already on GitHub. Another thing that's interesting is Azure, which is the Microsoft cloud platform. One out of three VMs today are Linux. And it's growing really quickly. And it's an environment or an area we really are focused on. And what Sacha says and what sort of the direction within the company is that it's very important that Linux is a first-class citizen on Azure. And so everything we do, certainly in my team on the Linux side, we just hired Matthew Wilcox, which is kind of funny. I'm sure a lot of you folks know him. Oh, there is Matthew. And so, you know, Matthew joined Microsoft, right?   So it was kind of cool. Anyway, so Matthew's a great guy. I've known him for a long time in it. It's very exciting. Of course, there's already an existing Linux contingent at the company with KY and some other folks. Stephen Haminer just joined, who's done a lot of work on the network side. And so one of the things I wanted to point out for sort of in terms of strategy as to what we're doing with open source is that a lot of the contributions in the past have really been around the extensions to make Azure work, the extensions to make hyper-view work. And everyone then says, well, sure you do that. It's for your own interest. Now, with hiring folks like Matthew and others as we continue, what's important, at least to me in sort of direction as to what we're going to do with open sources. We want to start helping Linux improve, not just hyper-view, but in general. Work on stuff that has nothing to do with Microsoft. The same with other products that we work on. We want to just be part of this development community. These are different words than people typically use when they talk about Microsoft. We use enable, integrate, release, and contribute. Enable, we want to make sure that all these different open source products work really well within our ecosystem. Integrate is really about customers want to use open source components, so we make sure that they integrate within Azure, particularly or even on Windows Server. Release is about looking at Microsoft IP and when it makes sense that this can be cross-platformed. It may make this publicly available, such as PowerShell. And then contribute is contributing to third-party products and making sure that we help other products work better. I shouldn't say work better. We help improve it. I think it's a better word. Linux investments, just a brief overview. So the Linux integration service are basically the guest extensions that have been written. And it's important that we do that because, as I said earlier, we want Linux to be a first-class citizen in Azure and on hyper-view. And so we have to make sure that we can do all these things like PCI pass-through and SRIOV and making sure we have secure VMs booting and all that stuff because we want the performance to be way up there. Operation management and I think that's also an interesting one. So what we could have done and what the company probably would have done a few years ago is say, hey, we're going to do Linux management. We'll write our own proprietary tools and we dump them on the Linux box. And we all know that Linux users don't want binary blops on their system. So instead, we use Fluendee as an example. So we use open-source tools. We take that and when we find bugs or we can improve it, we'll contribute that back. And so I think that's a good example of how the company has made a big shift in terms of what we're doing and then releasing a lot of other components. I'm not going to put a lot of effort into this slide here, but the reason I added this was to show that Linux and Windows needs to work equally well. And if there are cases where we can make Linux run better, we will do that. And so it's very important here that we're not in an environment anymore where somebody at Microsoft would say, oh, you can't work on that feature because it would have an advantage of Linux over Windows. There's no one saying that. If we end up writing code that makes it better, it'll be better. And then the other guys have to make sure that their stuff works better. So it's a very, you know, equal environment that we now work in, which again is a very cool change in the company. The ecosystem, this is, I mean, everyone here says, well, yeah, of course, duh. But I think it's important to show that from, again, the way we now work with open-source is the way we should work with open-source. We work on the Linux kernel. What happens is it goes upstream. Once it gets upstream, then Red Hat picks up the latest kernel and gets the drivers and gets the code. If they don't have it, then we help backport it to the existing versions. We just do it the way it should be. So this is not about, oh, look at us. We know what we have to do, and we just do it the normal way. And so we do that with the other projects that we work on as well, like the way we work with PowerShell and Cloud Foundry and other stuff. These are a few examples of what we do. So FreeBSD is actually still quite popular, in particular when you do virtual appliance in Cloud. There's a lot of network appliances and some storage appliances that rely on FreeBSD. So like with Linux, we contribute there. And one of the cool things is that about two weeks ago, I think, one of the members of our team that works on FreeBSD was invited to be a director on the FreeBSD Foundation Board, and that shows how much effort they've been putting into it for the products. Cloud Foundry is the same. You know, Cloud Foundry is important to customers, so we work on it. We help, we contribute to this thing. And we do work with Pivotal and others that have commercial solutions, but the way we contribute is upstream. We don't build proprietary extensions. We make it work upstream, then the other vendors can take it and do whatever they want with it. But customers have the choice to go to Cloud Foundry and download their own version, and it will all have the stuff that we've worked on. Same with OpenStack. We're not direct contributors to OpenStack. From a source point of view, we actually work with a partner that does some of this work for us for enabling Hyper-V and Windows. But we do have a big CEI that's hosted at Microsoft. It's a few hundred servers that basically run 24-7, and they're integrated into the OpenStack development CEIs. It's actually a pretty sizable environment that helps OpenStack QA whenever a new check-in occurs. So with that, because I'm running out of time, I think, you know, if anything, Linux is part of day-to-day work or life at Microsoft now. It's really just there. OpenSource is part of day-to-day life. A lot of the developers at Microsoft in fact see this as a career opportunity within the company. There's just been a great shift, and I'm personally very excited to be working on this stuff, and I think you'll see a lot more coming, because we've done a lot of outreach. We've done some projects, and sort of in the next year we want to really show that this is for real. It's not just me here on stage talking about it, but we have to show the code, right? Because that's ultimately what it comes down to. So you'll see a lot more actual work happening, and it's a different company than it used to be. So with that, I'm going to show a little one-minute video, and that's it. So thanks for listening and have a great rest of the conference. Thank you. My name is Alex, and I live in Moscow. I live in Rung. I'm from Melbourne, Australia. And I'm from Houston, Texas. I live in Tokyo. I use Linux systems at home. I use Linux systems at work. I code and test in Linux. I use some of the test frameworks. I do a lot of work with Linux for my internal customers. I assist customers in ensuring that their Linux systems are up, accessible, and performing well. I think it's collaborating with the global community of people. Apparently, the community is greater than the sum of all its individual members. I'm doing all of this at Microsoft in the Azure Linux supporting. I am working as a technical evangelist in Moscow. And I'm an open-source software specialist.

Coming to Davos I expected many intelligent conversations maybe some solutions thinking but I did not expect my heart to be blown wide open like it was here. I did not expect myself to collapse into tears. If at any point in this simulation it becomes too much for you, please know that luckily for you and me today is my choice. It moves away from the conversation which is really important to something that you relate to. Everyone has this one moment where all of a sudden it sinks in. Even though you're thinking in your mind it's just a simulation it really gets under your skin and afterwards when the facilitators shared stories of the work they do in the refugee camps with actual people it just grinds it into you.
