WEBVTT

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.000
Hey, folks. How are you? Sorry.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:23.000
Alright.

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.000
Ah, that's fun.

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.000
I'm a little late.

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:33.000
Uh, does anyone have the link to the WolfCon submissions?

00:03:33.000 --> 00:04:03.000
It's through, uh, FeedLoop, I can get it for you quick.

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:21.000
Awesome. Y'all are great. Cool. Well, you want to maybe just spend a little bit getting this filled out and we can call that a productive meeting.

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.000
Sure.

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.000
Cool. All right.

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:37.000
We could dive right in. I don't mind… Can all right. Can you do like comma separated here, or do they… are they looking for just one, like, point person?

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:43.000
Um, your email address, and then you can add co-speakers later.

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:51.000
Okay. Perfect.

00:04:51.000 --> 00:05:04.000
Alright.

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:10.000
Role.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.000
The person who gets yelled at in one system goes down.

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:15.000
and other times also.

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:30.000
And other times also. That's just, uh, that falls under duties as assigned.

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.000
Sounds good.

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.000
Yeah. Uh, session title, and I'm just gonna type something in, and we can workshop it. Introducing.

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:41.000
The minimally viable… Should I call it a dip or spell it out?

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.000
I would probably spell it out.

00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:51.000
Yeah.

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.000
My understanding is that…

00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.000
Something like that.

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:58.000
Sure, yeah. My understanding is, too, is, uh, with FeedLoop,

00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:04.000
is that once you submit it, you're automatically created an account, and it's put under your presenter portal.

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:11.000
So you can go in and actually edit it after the fact, too, so…

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.000
You know, the system's a lot more flexible than the other one.

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:13.000
Okay, I like that.

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:27.000
Maybe we won't… And it occurs to me that minimally viable maybe should be hyphenated.

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:33.000
I don't know. Session description.

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:43.000
Um, okay. Um… at the 2025.

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:59.000
Uh… of car… the… 3. I'm just going to write again. Just write something down. Y'all can tell me what what y'all think. Governing councils.

00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:29.000
Decided to… Uh, pursue… The implementation of a… Bit of only… viable… Development… initiative… proposal…

00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:42.000
As defined. In the… Um… what was it called?

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:43.000
development, um, CGP.

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.000
Community…

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:52.000
Community-driven development framework.

00:07:52.000 --> 00:08:00.000
Right.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:09.000
Let's see, it can be the product. Council has been working on.

00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:19.000
Um, outlining what? This process will.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:29.000
Um, uh, has been… I don't know. Well, like I said, um… B.

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:35.000
The purpose of this…

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:49.000
session is to… Introduce…

00:08:49.000 --> 00:09:00.000
Viable. Dip, and… I'll go ahead and do…

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:11.000
there to explore. Future… Possible…

00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:18.000
Um… I don't know. Okay.

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:19.000
Everything.

00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:24.000
What should I change?

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:31.000
This is, uh, again, more of other duties as a sign as a system librarian.

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.000
Are you actually considered a librarian?

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.000
Cool.

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:37.000
Okay.

00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:42.000
I am, which… Never in a million years did I ever think I would be a librarian, if I'm being honest.

00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.000
Sorry, I'm late.

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.000
Off-topic, um…

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.000
I think no one in IT here is considered a librarian.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.000
we have, um, like, Jen Cold in that.

00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:01.000
Um, that are… that are librarians that are in data automation and that sort of thing.

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.000
But we don't have anyone in…

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:08.000
library IT, that's a librarian, except for Simeon, he's RAU out.

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:19.000
Um, but yeah, I had friends make fun of me when I first started working at the library. I was like, where are you working at the library? You hate reading. You don't like books. You can't spell, we're shit.

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.000
I'm like…

00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.000
Yeah, I'm like, I like computers that may have lots of computers, so…

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.000
I love books, but I cannot spell.

00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:44.000
Yeah, it… what happened at A&M was, um, yeah, I was a software developer there for, like, a decade, and, um, they did this awful thing. I don't know if y'all heard about it or not, but they, you know, uh, they consolidated all of their IT staff.

00:10:44.000 --> 00:11:00.000
And so, it was… it used to be the case that, you know, every college kind of had their own, uh, you know, IT unit that was, like, in the reporting line of that college. And they pulled them all into the central unit, and it was just a big.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:20.000
cluster. I mean, it was, like, it was awful. It was very poorly planned and rushed, and um… I mean, just to speak… Candidly, that, you know, the money wasn't there to make it happen, you know, and um… and around that time, there was… this was about…

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:31.000
At this point is about 5 years ago. There was this big push to kind of retain institutional knowledge within the library, you know, because they weren't hemorrhaging people.

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:56.000
And I was getting a master's degree right around then, and so they, you know, just kind of threw together a position and they were like, Hey, do you want, do you want to stick around at the library? And I did not like the look of what was going on in it. And, you know, and… I, you know, it meant I got to, like, keep my office and, you know, it just seemed like a pretty sweet deal, and it's worked out great, so…

00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.000
Yeah,

00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:01.000
So it's only 5 years that you work in the library?

00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.000
Well, I was working for the library the whole time, but as a software developer.

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:13.000
Okay, it's some kind of outsourced.

00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.000
Or…

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:22.000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we were. We were embedded like my office was in the library. My reporting line went up through the dean of the library, you know.

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:36.000
Uh, so, you know, I felt very much part, I mean, I felt like I was part of the library, but then when they were gonna pull us out, um… Yeah, I just prefer… I like working for the library, so I was like, I'll stay with you guys.

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:37.000
I mean, Cornell does the same thing.

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.000
yeah.

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.000
in cycles, and we're in a downsizing cycle right now, so…

00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:44.000
Yeah.

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:50.000
We've always, like, from the entire time that I've been… well, actually,

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.000
my entire life, so…

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:57.000
almost 50 years, Cornell has had a central CIT office.

00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:07.000
and Central CI… the central IT is in charge of the central systems, and they were originally in charge of, like, communications and…

00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:17.000
at the time when I first became an employee at Cornell 20-some years ago, um, they had, uh, shoot, what was it, uh, Bear Access, which was…

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.000
Bad name. But…

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:28.000
It was this home-written, like, Java application that you had to install that had sidecarve for authentication and all this other stuff. Um…

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:36.000
But… they've always had their own central IT office, and then every single department had their own individual departmental IT office.

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.000
And central IT will go through, like, this expansion and contraction.

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:47.000
When they contract the individual departments will start building out their own IT departments, and then they'll look around like, oh, wait!

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.000
We have duplication of services. Like, all these departments are doing support for

00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:52.000
Yeah.

00:13:52.000 --> 00:14:02.000
departmental PCs, we could do that centrally, and they grab everyone from the external departments and pull them to the central department. And we're kind of in that right now, where they're…

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.000
pulling in…

00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:11.000
other departments and into central IT, and restructuring central IT.

00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.000
But if… I mean, to be kind of blunt, like…

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.000
Cornell Central IT is always disorganized.

00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:24.000
They're constantly restructuring over and over and over again.

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.000
And… yeah, it gets wonky. And then right now, we're also in the midst of, um,

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:31.000
Yeah.

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.000
another bad name.

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:36.000
techie should not be allowed to pick out acronyms.

00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.000
Um, it's called SeeMe.

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:46.000
C-E-M-I, it's supposed to be, like, like, oh, you can see me, sort of thing, and like, yeah, whatever.

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.000
Come on.

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:57.000
Um, yeah. But they're going through and re-evaluating basically every major service on campus, and they want to replace the central

00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:01.000
Central, uh, organization, uh, hub.

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:07.000
our software for the entire campus, so they're gonna replace the bursar system, PeopleSoft, Workday, all of that.

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:20.000
With one massive system that encompasses everything. And then we have all these custom systems that have been built up over the years that were never replaced because, hey, they do exactly what we want. They're looking at replacing those. And at the same time, they're going through and, like,

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:30.000
Oh, we had… we have Slack and Teams. Well, we have a Microsoft 360 subscription, so everyone now has to use Teams. You have no choice. We're not paying for this.

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.000
So, yeah, it's weird. Like, Cornell…

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.000
Yeah.

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:34.000
And then 5 years, they'll blow up again.

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:56.000
I think. At the heart of that, at least what I saw at A&M was the mistake and reasoning that empowers people to do that consolidation is this idea that, um.

00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:23.000
I it human resources are fungible. They discount the the domain knowledge that goes into people being effective at doing their job in a specific.

00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.000
Yeah.

00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.000
you know, role. You know, so I was a Java… I was a full-stack developer, right? Um, so, you know, you look at that, you're just like, oh, well, he writes Java applications. Well, this transportation app over here is written in Java, so why, you know, why do we have?

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:56.000
You know, 5 different groups of Java developers. We'll just have all… but, you know, I remember the first time I sat in a library meeting, and I had a little pad of paper, and I was like, I'm gonna write down everything I don't understand, and I'm gonna go Google it afterwards. And it was like, you know, it was like 10 pages of notes where I'm just like, I don't know what that is, I don't know what that is, I… You know, and knowing what all of those things were was instrumental to me being able to plan and effectively implement software for the library. And you can't just grab up a random Java developer and be like, write this application successfully, you know, understand your user needs, you know.

00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.000
And they just… they don't think about that aspect of it at all.

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.000
Yeah.

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.000
Right. Well, because…

00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:16.000
The complicated thing, and developing is not the programming language or framework, but the domain knowledge.

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:17.000
Yes. Because the other…

00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.000
Yes, yes. Yeah.

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.000
One of the other things is, too, is a lot of university developers, and I…

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:28.000
They may be getting that here a little bit, um…

00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.000
is that they're not only a developer, but they're a PO.

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.000
Yeah.

00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:40.000
Like, they have to collect the requirements from their customer and understand how it's supposed to function when they write the application.

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.000
I mean, you can have… I mean, that's kind of how folio works, like,

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:49.000
The EPM developers are kind of blind to howibraries work.

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.000
they go off the tickets and that.

00:17:52.000 --> 00:18:01.000
Um, so you can have that model, it's sometimes more difficult, but you need to have the POs, you need to have that interface model.

00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:02.000
Yes.

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:27.000
It puts… it puts so much pressure on the POs to, like… you know, to… which… which is fine, like, if you have the personnel to do that with the expertise to do that, I do believe that you can have an interface between developers and customers that works, but we weren't built that way, and you can bet your bare asses.

00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:28.000
Exactly.

00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:39.000
That nobody was talking about hiring a bunch of POs to make this work, you know, like, that wasn't the plan. And so… I don't know. Anyway, you could, um… you could easily listen to me complain about this for the next 2 hours, if y'all don't stop it.

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.000
That's fine, it's the same thing, like…

00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:51.000
Yeah. Um, that is one thing that IT here… CIT has gotten is they… I think they do realize they need that interface layer.

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.000
So they do have, like, project managers, and when you do ask Central

00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:00.000
the central dev groups for work.

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:05.000
Um, you have to submit, basically, a detailed proposal

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.000
As if you were a PO. Uh, and you responsible for ensuring that they understand what you're doing… what you need, but…

00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.000
Okay.

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.000
Yeah. Had the everyday prison do that one.

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:41.000
I went to go… I went to go put in a ticket with Central IT when this whole thing was starting to… Just kind of see, like, well, what would it be like for us to get some application development out of this unit? And the entire forum was like, what web page do you need? You know, what content do you need? And I was like, I mean, we're building web apps over here. This is not… I don't need a web page, you know, I need some software development.

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:53.000
Yeah, exactly. I mean, that one, they do know. If you need a web page built, there's one group you go to. If you need a module built for, like, a Drupal page, or WordPress page is another group you go to.

00:19:53.000 --> 00:20:02.000
Um, that's kind of where, like, the library is… is thankfully kind of insulated, because the applications that we work on are so unique.

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.000
that there is no duplication across campus, that our devs

00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:08.000
Yeah.

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:13.000
no one else is useful, except for our devs on that software. And they tied up with that software that they don't have time to do anything else, so…

00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:31.000
Yeah. we… we were able, over time, I mean, basically what we did, we did a really good job, and I have to… hats off to, you know, my managers and, like, all the folks in the library that were kind of more on the technical side.

00:20:31.000 --> 00:21:01.000
We, over the course of years, were very aggressive in articulating exactly what the technical needs of the library were so that every time we ever got into any kind of meeting, you know that a meme was… Uh, Homer slowly backing into the bush. Every meeting kind of ended like that, where we're like, well, look, if you guys want it, this is… these are the 40 applications that, you know, we take care of, you know, or, um, and… and every single time they're like.

00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.000
Yeah. You guys deal with it.

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.000
You guys got this, this is… it's fine.

00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:23.000
Um, I would go grab it, but yeah. Um, we actually have a LEGO build of that.

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:24.000
Yeah.

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:34.000
Oh, nice, yeah. Yeah. Alright, so we have this, uh… what this process will be, I'm just thinking that, um… this future tense, maybe not appropriate at… by the time we get to WolfCon, like, hopefully it's more like what it is than what it will be. I don't know, what do y'all think?

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:38.000
First of all, I think that… We should.

00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:45.000
Explain in one or two sentences what what the dip actually.

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:46.000
Yeah.

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.000
Uh, wants to achieve. It's not clear.

00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.000
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:56.000
And then maybe it's also clear what this process will be. I mean.

00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:05.000
Yeah. Okay. And the WolfCons, three governing councils decide to pursue the implementation of minimally viable.

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:26.000
It's maybe a bit, um… I I'm not sure. Did the 3 councils decide that we want to pursue the minimal viable dip? Or did we rather, I mean, as 3 councils decide that we want to.

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.000
pursue the CDDF. In general.

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.000
I think that that is…

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:40.000
And the Product Council decided to pursue the MV dip.

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:41.000
Yeah.

00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:48.000
I'm not sure at the moment, but… and maybe it's also… it's not really important for the description.

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:53.000
Um, how it really was, but, um…

00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:06.000
I think… I think that. I think that what we have written here is included in a decision to pursue the CDDF.

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:26.000
Um, I think that I am definitely expressing it more narrowly, though. I could be open to either one. It felt like there would be more explaining to do if I started with the CDDF and then talked about how that was related to the dip. I guess it might be why I did that, but… Let's see, uh, the…

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:35.000
I don't know, I don't know what, um, if they're from the other councils. There will be also sessions about.

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:52.000
Parts of the CDDF, for example, from the technical council about the, um… This, um… Sorry, how much development costs there are for each modular app.

00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.000
That's a good question.

00:23:53.000 --> 00:24:03.000
I'm. So if if we begin or if we state that the councils decided to pursue the CDDF, and then the PC decided.

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:04.000
Yeah.

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:16.000
to look into the amenable viable dip. Then it's clear, okay, well, this is within a larger context.

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:27.000
Yeah. a an important component. And let's okay.

00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:33.000
CDDF.

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:40.000
the… Uh, CDDF.

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:58.000
was the…

00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:06.000
A. Process by which in.

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:18.000
tended development… could be… expressed and.

00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:25.000
Um…

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:38.000
Let's see… I do want to talk process by which intended development could be… Express and resources.

00:25:38.000 --> 00:26:02.000
Yeah, that's working.

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:08.000
I hate it when I can't…

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:23.000
I think of the words. Alright, let's see. What is the minimally viable debt, or what is the dip? The dip is… Well, we've written all this before.

00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:27.000
Doesn't say I can ever think of the words.

00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:28.000
Until 5 minutes later.

00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:36.000
No.

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:47.000
There we go. A lightweight community-driven mechanism for identifying, coordinating, and documenting significant development initiatives within folio.

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:48.000
Yep.

00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:55.000
Does that sound good?

00:26:55.000 --> 00:27:09.000
hers… The depth period.

00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:39.000
Um…

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:54.000
All right.

00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:58.000
How do we feel about this? Is it better?

00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:24.000
Feels better than it was a second ago. I'll just read it out loud real fast. At the 2025 Wolfcon, the three governing councils decided to pursue the implementation of the community directed development framework, the CDDF, an important component of the CDDF was the development initiative proposal dip. The dip is a lightweight community driven mechanism for identifying, coordinating, and documenting significant development initiatives within folio.

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:31.000
The Product Council has been working on outlining a minimally viable implementation of the dip as a first phase in adoption.

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:41.000
The purpose of this session is to introduce the minimally viable dip and explore future possible implementations.

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:44.000
Sounds good.

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:51.000
Learning objectives. Understand the.

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:57.000
dip process.

00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:10.000
Identify… Uh, possible… Areas… I don't need to capitalize on this.

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:22.000
Areas for improvement. I'm not writing in German. You guys capitalize so much.

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.000
Uh… areas for improvement…

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:29.000
Yeah, well, if you're only writing headlines in English, it's it's the opposite.

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:37.000
That is. Yeah, that is true. And these days most writing does seem to be just headlines.

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:39.000
Yeah.

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:42.000
Yeah, that's right.

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:49.000
And we have a 90% clickbait.

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:57.000
Wait till you see number seven.

00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:05.000
Um, okay. Actually, I forget number 7, I'm trying to come up with number 3.

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:12.000
Identify possible areas for improvement. What do I also want to do? We're going to answer questions. I…

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:30.000
I thought you would write possible, identify possible areas of adoption or implementation, or… I mean, you wrote future possible implementations. I get, I guess it's about pilot development things.

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.000
Oh, yeah, like, okay, um…

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:37.000
Yeah.

00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:38.000
I think you hit the question mark for some suggested…

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:43.000
One's in there, too.

00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:51.000
The process…

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:57.000
Adoption…

00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:09.000
Yeah, so, yeah, we do want to talk about, uh… Pilot, like, um… piloting the dip.

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:21.000
Though we might again like we I guess we could change this over time, but it could be the case that a pilot for this has actually occurred by the time we get to WolfCon. Maybe possibly.

00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:35.000
So, that would be something we could go over here, but understand the… Mechanics of the process.

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:52.000
displayed the… pilot phase…

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:57.000
I don't know, does that work?

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:58.000
The one thing I… and it's kind of related, the one thing I did…

00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:00.000
Okay.

00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:07.000
Kind of suggests, I sure if they're going to go with it or not, but the, um…

00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.000
Not sure which group is it now?

00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:13.000
Um, the R, um…

00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:16.000
RMC subgroup.

00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:24.000
is I suggested maybe using the dips as the method for exposing what work was done.

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:27.000
And a flower release. That's part of the notes, instead of actually going to…

00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:31.000
Yeah.

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:35.000
Jira the way we are now.

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:45.000
That would work if we had 100% participation with it, which I doubt we will have as long as it's an opt-in thing.

00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:48.000
We might, um…

00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:53.000
And some of the other things, and the reason why I say we might is…

00:32:53.000 --> 00:33:01.000
It's kind of where this group and that group are kind of coinciding, is because one of the things that we were talking about at the last meeting was actually having somebody from PC

00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:05.000
are multiple people from PC going through and kind of grabbing

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:13.000
the individual JIRAs and looking through them, pulling the information out to help with the POs creating release notes.

00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:23.000
And that's the reason why I thought, well, wait, this could actually possibly work, because instead of doing that, they could just create dips for each one of those things, link the Jira tickets to it,

00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:24.000
it would kind of solve both problems at once. You would have

00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:27.000
Yeah.

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:32.000
this tracking structure, but then you would also have something you can use as a reporting structure for the release nodes,

00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:39.000
And also, another entity that you could tie things like, uh, because they were talking about the YouTube videos that are being released, and…

00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:46.000
on work, I'm like, you could tie those directly to the debt. Like, they could be links on it of… as things are…

00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:50.000
progressing, and they're doing the demos, you could tie those directly to

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:55.000
the dip as a kind of a working document for the entire thing, so… I don't know, we'll see.

00:33:55.000 --> 00:34:00.000
Yeah. That's a cool idea. I think you've identified a possible area for future improvement.

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:03.000
Yep.

00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:11.000
That sounds like a developer.

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:26.000
Alright, what are we thinking? Is this… do we… I mean, I don't think this is complex. It's either balanced or accessible, um, so the difference being the level of prerequisite knowledge that you need to engage with the session.

00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:30.000
I'd say balanced.

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:31.000
Okay.

00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:38.000
I think having some working knowledge of how Jira functions and how dev functions on the back end,

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.000
would be helpful to understand what the process is and how it will…

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:50.000
interact with that process.

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:51.000
I think it's the third option.

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:56.000
hybrid short session. I definitely think we want a hybrid with… in person.

00:34:56.000 --> 00:35:05.000
or it's the second or either second or third.

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:22.000
I mean, you're the, uh… primary, um… Or the one who is submitting it. Um… Are you gonna be there in place in Prague?

00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:23.000
I would do that.

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:27.000
Yeah.

00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:28.000
Yeah, it'll be cool.

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:38.000
Okay. So I'm looking forward to seeing you again. And… No, I mean, I think the question is if the one submitting is there in person, it's the second, and if not, it's the third one.

00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:39.000
At least I understood it like that, but I'm not sure.

00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:43.000
Okay.

00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:48.000
There's also this panel session right here. I don't think we want to run it as a panel.

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:49.000
Does it…

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:53.000
No, I think the difference between two and three is that you have… you have either you have are in person there, or you need to have a moderator.

00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:58.000
Oh, yeah, I see.

00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:59.000
Yeah.

00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:06.000
Okay. Okay, in-person hybrid form.

00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:09.000
Oh, in-person moderator. So I am… so, okay, wait. So we don't need a moderator. Yeah.

00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:12.000
Yeah, so…

00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:14.000
Okay, so it's the second one. Right? Okay.

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:20.000
I think so.

00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:32.000
Yeah. That's a little confusing. They need to define what a moderator is in this context.

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:43.000
I didn't say something to them. Um, I think this did come up during one of the WolfCon things, and if they change these, it messes up the backend somehow.

00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:44.000
I can't stop it.

00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:50.000
Okay. Yeah, probably you can't… like, they've already gotten submissions sorted in a certain way, and then you change it, and it sorts it differently.

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:54.000
Yeah, yeah, I can ask Alec. Um…

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:57.000
Let me just take a screenshot, because then I'll…

00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.000
Whoops. Come on.

00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:02.000
Alright.

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:04.000
Now remember what I'm talking about.

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:11.000
Um, I do remember something coming up with, um, those options, and…

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:21.000
Alec was saying that if they changed it, it did mess up the backend somehow, but I… I can't remember if it was removing our…

00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:22.000
I think it was removing and adding.

00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:26.000
changing the description may not mess with it, so…

00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.000
I'll ask.

00:37:28.000 --> 00:37:35.000
Yeah, the timing sounds right, 50 minutes total, 40 minutes plus 10 minutes QA, that sounds pretty good.

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:44.000
Um… hybrid full input. Yeah, I think… I think this feels right.

00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:57.000
You selected in-person, hyperphone, or virtual. Please select which type is full session.

00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:58.000
Yeah, that's the first one.

00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:00.000
Regular standard PowerPoint presentation 1 to 3 presenters.

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:01.000
And then relate to projects.

00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:10.000
Yeah. Okay. polio… And that's it.

00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.000
Yep.

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:25.000
I heard that OLF reached out to. TDL about… are y'all familiar with the Vireo application?

00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:28.000
No.

00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:29.000
DRio.

00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:39.000
It's one that, yeah, Vireo is a document submittal application that we at Texas A&M was.

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:56.000
you know, hugely influential and building for the Texas digital libraries organization. And it was one of the 1st projects I worked on was building the version 4 of Vireo, and it's a pretty cool application.

00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:06.000
And I heard that they… there was some talk about them coming into the OLF umbrella, which would be neat. Olf is really… growing.

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:10.000
Do you think that part of that might be because, um…

00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:16.000
of the desire for CDL.

00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:17.000
Control Digital Lending.

00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:21.000
CDL…

00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:32.000
Uh, like… like, being able to coordinate across all of these different, uh… uh, applications of, like, one ecosystem? Is that kind of what you're talking about?

00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:37.000
Oh, no, um, basically what it is, is, um…

00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:53.000
it would be a… it's a file server that has digital copies of books, journal articles, that sort of thing. Um, but you have to have a component within the library management system, and it's really tricky, because it's based on country and copyright law.

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:54.000
Sure.

00:39:54.000 --> 00:40:04.000
That basically, you… let's say, uh, of mice and men, your library has 5 copies. You have a digital copy on a server,

00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:05.000
Sure, yeah.

00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:14.000
you check out the digital copy from the server, and the library has to pull the physical copy off the shelf. Are they not allowed to check off the physical copy? Um, and there's a large desire with library to have this so that it makes their collections more accessible to their patrons.

00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:19.000
But the problem is, is they really haven't found a good platform to host

00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:25.000
the digital content, and then also tie it to the library management system.

00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:30.000
And there's kind of people going in different directions. I was kind of wondering if maybe the step going with this group is that

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:33.000
They have a really viable

00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:36.000
server versus a very viable, like,

00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:40.000
data warehouse system.

00:40:40.000 --> 00:41:06.000
This so Texas digital libraries mostly at this point is a like a nonprofit hosting organization to host digital repositories for people. So they host D space.

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:07.000
Okay.

00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.000
That's kind of their bread and butter. But then I also host this Vireo application, which is used as like a thesis and dissertation submittal system, right? But you know what?

00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:28.000
works well about it is it empowers it, and it's used by a lot of folks. I think John's Hopkins, usually. I mean, it's used outside of Texas, for sure. And what's neat about it is, is that it really empowers an institution to be the, um.

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:51.000
institutional repository, you know, uh, so the pipeline allows for you to get these things submitted and do, like, the whole, like, you know, you can add advisors to, like, kind of comment. It allows this back and forth on your submission as you're kind of going through the submittal process.

00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:52.000
Oh, cool.

00:41:52.000 --> 00:42:00.000
But then at the termination of the process, it'll put a copy in your digital repository. And so, it allows you to funnel the documents and really kind of hang on to them.

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:07.000
which is the incentive for the library to be involved with it, because we like… You know, having all those theses and dissertations accessible.

00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:12.000
I mean, and that makes sense, too, because I know there's…

00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:22.000
a lot of… along with the CDL model, there's also a lot of libraries that are trying to get into, uh, open access, and Pulio does have the open access component,

00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:27.000
Uh, but you still have to have those documents hosted somewhere.

00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.000
Yeah. Yeah.

00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:38.000
Um, so that would actually give people a platform to do self-publishing of digital content.

00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:39.000
Yeah.

00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:45.000
Drew, we're really, really cool. I mean, yeah, I mean, either way, it's a good step forward. There's so much stuff going on, it's not funny.

00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:51.000
I'm glad I'm not a metadata librarian.

00:42:51.000 --> 00:43:07.000
I worked with them a lot during my work on Vireo, uh, because, yeah, you know, so much of what we were doing was getting… you know, getting the metadata right on the… that was another thing, is, you know, having this be a.

00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:17.000
you know, a standardized process allowed us to attach quality metadata to these theses and dissertations as they're going through. But then you have to figure out what quality metadata means.

00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:22.000
Exactly, and that… but you could also, depending, like, if they're thinking of…

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:33.000
Um, if it falls under the same Olaf umbrella, there's a very high possibility that it could be tied tighter to folio, and then it doesn't have to deal with the metadata. The metadata's dealt with directly in folio.

00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:38.000
And then there was just an interconnection between the two, and lets it passed back and forth, but… um…

00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:41.000
Try anything else.

00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:46.000
Do we think that there's anything other than open source development on this list that this pertains to?

00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:56.000
I would just do other non, as you had checked, because you could say this goes with communication, community development,

00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:58.000
Yeah.

00:43:58.000 --> 00:43:59.000
I would say that falls under another…

00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:00.000
project governance.

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:03.000
Hmm.

00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:12.000
Do you consent to be recorded? Yep.

00:44:12.000 --> 00:44:13.000
Oh, God, no, please.

00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:16.000
stream live on TikTok.

00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:25.000
Do you or any other presenters require any special accommodations, either for accessibility or room setup? I am not aware of that.

00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:31.000
I require a coffee bar and candy, if accessible at all times.

00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:37.000
Do you have any questions or issues you would like?

00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:38.000
There we go.

00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:39.000
Yes. Oh, that would be that would be awesome.

00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:42.000
As you're in Prague, you require free beer.

00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:43.000
The only bad thing is I don't drink beer.

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:47.000
Hmm…

00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:48.000
Um, I don't really drink at all.

00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:49.000
Oh.

00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:55.000
All right. Martin, what is your email?

00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:59.000
Uh, Martin? I'll write in the chat.

00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:11.000
Okay. And would you mind, Thomas also? And I'll try to find Charlotte's.

00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:28.000
Let's see… community direct development.

00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:37.000
Pretty sure she's gonna want… To participate…

00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:43.000
Oh, she's fine. I got it.

00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:50.000
Company… Does she list her pronouns? She does not. It does not look like.

00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:53.000
No.

00:45:53.000 --> 00:46:04.000
Okay. Um, job title… product owner, I think? So… Oh, no. Whoa.

00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:13.000
She's got quite the… title product manager, lead product owner.

00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:25.000
Manager… Lead.

00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:26.000
I think…

00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:27.000
I'm not gonna fill this stuff in. Oh, man, we need bios.

00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:30.000
No, you can just go ahead and skip it.

00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.000
Oh, really?

00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.000
Can we, like, add these later?

00:46:33.000 --> 00:46:37.000
Yeah, uh, because once you… when you add a co-speaker, it also adds an account for them.

00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:38.000
And then she should be able to go in and…

00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:42.000
Right. It's… it's not mandatory, no?

00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:43.000
No, it doesn't look like it. Okay, yeah, I'm just gonna do the mandatory.

00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:48.000
Is it?

00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:55.000
Fields… so we have Charlotte Witt, and… alright, now I'm going to start adding y'all.

00:46:55.000 --> 00:47:02.000
You only have to do the ones… the required fields, so it's just the email, first name, and last name.

00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:05.000
I think that's a… um, because, again, like,

00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:09.000
once this… once this is, um…

00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:21.000
I guess company, uh, job title. Once these are added, it creates accounts for all the speakers, and there's a speaker portal that you can go into and edit your information and update it.

00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:25.000
Okay, perfect. Thomas, do you list pronouns?

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.000
Nope. My pronouns are I don't and care.

00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.000
Okay.

00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:33.000
Call me whatever the heck you want, I don't care.

00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:34.000
Um…

00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:41.000
All right. Cool. Uh, company, Cornell.

00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:42.000
folio application manager.

00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:48.000
What's your job title?

00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:54.000
I like that. Okay.

00:47:54.000 --> 00:48:00.000
I think we got everything for you.

00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:04.000
Right.

00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:10.000
Martin…

00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.000
I get that right? Yeah. All right.

00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:17.000
The company… I put it in the chat. Just copy-paste it.

00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:23.000
Okay. Cool. And your job title?

00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:26.000
Uh, for your migration lead.

00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:30.000
That sounds like a stressful job, Martin.

00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:39.000
At the moment, it is. I hope in… at least in September, it won't be anymore.

00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:48.000
Okay, I wonder if they let us add additional speakers later, because I'm not… I mean, if we look at… where is this?

00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:54.000
How do I get back to…

00:48:54.000 --> 00:49:01.000
If we look at the folks involved, I can see Jana wanting to participate.

00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:09.000
But a lot of these folks have not been very actively participatory in recent meetings.

00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:21.000
So, I'll reach out to Jan and see if she wants to be added. If it doesn't let us add a speaker afterwards, I'll reach out to… The folks who are planning this and see if we can get her at it.

00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:25.000
Yeah, you can either ping Jennifer or Alec. They, um…

00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:29.000
are kind of the main touchpoints for the system.

00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:30.000
Okay.

00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.000
I can also ping them, too. As I said, my understanding is that, yes, once you submit this, you should actually get information to set up an account.

00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:38.000
So…

00:49:38.000 --> 00:49:44.000
And you can go in and edit it over and over again.

00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:46.000
Oh, no, you use OwnCloud?

00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:54.000
Oh, ugh, what's wrong with you?

00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:59.000
I have, uh…

00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:03.000
experimenting with all sorts of self-hosting.

00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:09.000
I use that alone club for a while, um…

00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:16.000
The main issue I had with it, you have to keep up on updates, because if you… if you forget to update the darn thing,

00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:22.000
It's a bear to skip it from one version to another. Like, it…

00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:23.000
Yeah.

00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:29.000
you can lose data, it can scramble. I also had issues with plugins. I mean, granted, this was quite a few years ago, but…

00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:31.000
like, I just, like, eh.

00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:34.000
Um,

00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:36.000
Oh, I already had it. Dang it.

00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:40.000
So, I actually ended up adding a bunch more services to replace OwnCloud.

00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:43.000
But I like them a lot better, because they're more specific.

00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:46.000
Um, have you heard of…

00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:50.000
Uh, paperless?

00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:52.000
I have.

00:50:52.000 --> 00:51:03.000
I like paperless, especially if you have access to an AI model, a local AI model, you can send your documents to that, and it will do some model tagging and description for you.

00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:08.000
Um, but yeah, I really do like paperless. I use that for my electronic filing cabinet.

00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:14.000
Um, I find it easier to organize things in there than I did with OpCloud.

00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:21.000
And I don't use the calendar, I just use Google Calendar. And there was other things I used, like the image thing, which…

00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:26.000
it matches a lot better with that. Their face recognition model is insanely good.

00:51:26.000 --> 00:51:28.000
But yeah.

00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:41.000
That's cool. Yeah, I, um… I go through seasons where I'm, like, really into getting all this stuff set up, and then… I mean, right now, it's all chugging away. Great. I have, um… have you seen Audiobookshelf?

00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:43.000
Yes.

00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:55.000
Yeah, I got that running. I'm using MB. That's working great, uh, for, like, a media server. I also have Navidrome to do subsonic music server.

00:51:55.000 --> 00:52:03.000
Yep.

00:52:03.000 --> 00:52:04.000
Of course.

00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:32.000
And then, uh, Symphonium on all my family's phones to connect up to that server, and, uh, you know, so the music streaming is working great. I'm… I'm really trying to… a lot of it is, is I have teenagers, and I am… you know, in this modern digital age. I I don't know. I'm like big brother 100% like I'm I don't give them any digital freedom like I'm, you know, like, all up in their their business. And so.

00:52:32.000 --> 00:52:33.000
Right, right.

00:52:33.000 --> 00:52:45.000
I'm like, no, you can't have Spotify. You can use my music streaming service. You know, you can't I'm not, I'm not signing you up on all these, you know, YouTube and all this stuff. You can, you know, watch videos on our stuff. And I figured that's the easiest way for me to make sure that they're not getting involved in.

00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:49.000
And you know what? It still doesn't work. They still figure out ways around all of it, but… but I'm trying.

00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:54.000
Oh, no, my 10-year-old niece knows how to get past the parental controls and get onto YouTube.

00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:59.000
Um, I… I have… let's see, what do I have right now? So, my…

00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:16.000
my Dell web server is running 72 total containers, frigate's running 3, but that's normal, that's Frigate, that's the connector for my Waze cameras, and that's the, uh, actual management software. Uh, my media server is running 23.

00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:17.000
Nice.

00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:22.000
containers. So, primarily what I run for media is Plex, but I do have audio bookshelves. Um, I did try the, uh, I think it's Audacity.

00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:24.000
Um, and a few others.

00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:33.000
I was playing with Jellyfin, and I have to admit, I really, really, really like Jellyfan, but right now…

00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:40.000
they did something with their database. First of all, they used a SQL-like database, which is horrible. Like, they should use ProPrest or something else of that nature.

00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:42.000
But I have…

00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:45.000
1,500 TV shows.

00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:50.000
series that I have in there. And episodes-wise, I have about 20,000.

00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:51.000
Uh, yeah, I have, um, two…

00:53:51.000 --> 00:53:55.000
a lot. That's a lot of space.

00:53:55.000 --> 00:54:01.000
ZFS arrays that are about 70 terabytes apiece.

00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:02.000
Yeah.

00:54:02.000 --> 00:54:13.000
Um, but I'm the digital repository for my entire family. They buy something, they give it to me, it gets ripped and it's put on there, and they stream it from my server, because then they can get it from wherever they want. And I have a lot of British stuff, and the things of that nature for my brother-in-law.

00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:19.000
Um, but that's why I was playing with Jellyfin, because I'm like, okay, well, I really like the interface, I can customize it more, but…

00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:23.000
Right now, a scam on my library takes 2 days.

00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:24.000
It's ridiculous, because of things.

00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:26.000
Yeah.

00:54:26.000 --> 00:54:31.000
But yeah, I have a whole bunch of stuff running on there. I have Book Lore for magazines and e-books.

00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:34.000
Um, I had…

00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:35.000
Have you tried Envy?

00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:44.000
I have. I used to use them a while back. I wasn't massively impressed with them, but I could… I might swing back and try them again.

00:54:44.000 --> 00:55:00.000
I… I like I liked it a lot. I… so I tried jellyfin, and what I didn't like about it was that it doesn't have the application support. So MBS focused a lot on getting approved applications on, like, all the different platforms, you know, so.

00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:16.000
There's, you know, a Samsung be app and like, you know, so you could get it on your smart TV and on your phone and all that stuff. And I like that. So the clients I like a lot for MB. The backend management is… I don't have a problem with it. I couldn't imagine it being better, I suppose, but…

00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:20.000
I was gonna say, when was the last time you tried Jellyfin, though?

00:55:20.000 --> 00:55:24.000
Oh, okay.

00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:25.000
Here's a friend.

00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:27.000
pretty recently, but I did… that was my issue with it wasn't the back end, it was the… I couldn't… I couldn't find the app… the clients for it.

00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:34.000
I don't know about the… I don't know about Apple ecosystem, but I do know on Android, because, uh, there is a…

00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:37.000
Android Jellyfin app.

00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:45.000
Um, I was able to download from Play Store for both my TVs and my phone, because I have Android TV on all my TVs.

00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:54.000
Um, so I was using it that way. And also, oddly enough, Home Assistant saw my Jellyfin server and tried to connect to it right away. He's like, oh, you have a Jellyfin server, let me connect to it and add integrations.

00:55:54.000 --> 00:55:57.000
Oh, that's cool.

00:55:57.000 --> 00:56:07.000
Um, I don't know, like, I bought a pack, a Plex Pass years ago, like, when it was 100 bucks.

00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:08.000
And it's a lifetime pass, so now that's 400 bucks in the car.

00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:09.000
Yeah. Yeah. They gotcha.

00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:17.000
Yeah, um, so I have all their apps. I don't have to leave their ecosystem, it's just…

00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:20.000
I like the customization.

00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:21.000
Um…

00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:22.000
Yeah. Hey, if you got something that works, then, you know…

00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:29.000
Yeah. But then on my other one, I have stuff I use for work, so I use, um, Docant.

00:56:29.000 --> 00:56:31.000
to manage all my servers.

00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:36.000
I was using Protainer, um, but, like, on my, um…

00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:43.000
Well, Delve, I have a application called AppFlowy.

00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:44.000
I know outflowing, yeah.

00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:50.000
Yeah, I've been running that. I have Bar Assistant, I have, uh, Tander, and I have Mealy for managing recipes.

00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:55.000
Um, but I also have, uh, PenPot.

00:56:55.000 --> 00:56:56.000
Mm-hmm.

00:56:56.000 --> 00:57:00.000
installed, and I use that for actually doing mock-ups for my personal stuff as well as for folio. And it's nice because

00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:04.000
I don't have to have any software installed, I just go wherever I want, open up a browser.

00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:05.000
There it is.

00:57:05.000 --> 00:57:10.000
Yeah. Martin, do you dabble in any self-hosting, or is that too much like doing work at home?

00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:24.000
No, I really… I really envy you that you have the time and the nerves to do that. I tried it, and I just… I gave up, especially because my family just… Doesn't yeah they they will…

00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:26.000
sabotage it.

00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:38.000
Yeah. Yeah, I have had stuff unplugged, you know, where they're, like, you know, cleaning and stuff, and they're just like, oh, this doesn't matter. I'm like, what are you doing?

00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:44.000
Yeah, all my servers are sitting in the corner of my office, no one's allowed to touch them. In fact, I get yelled at it for it, because my spouse is like, where are you gonna show me how to run this?

00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:49.000
Like, if you can't… I'm like, you don't understand how difficult it is to manage the server.

00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:50.000
And how much base knowledge you need. Well, if you… I think if you sit down and show me, I'm like, okay,

00:57:50.000 --> 00:57:53.000
Yeah.

00:57:53.000 --> 00:58:04.000
So, I need to explain to you how to set up a ZFFS array, how to manage it, how to remove and add and change drives. The entire concept of Z…

00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:21.000
Yeah. My next goal is to invest in some hardware and set up a LLM locally and get that all going, get like a local, uh, chat bot. Um, so we'll, we'll see how that goes.

00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:29.000
Check with some of the home-assisted community. Are you running… actually, wait, are you running Home Assistant at all, or no?

00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:51.000
I am not, um… yeah, I'm not. I… I wouldn't mind getting into that, but I find that as soon as you go down the home automation route, it gets really expensive, because you have to buy all the peripherals that interface with it, and I've been trying to… Basically, I've been trying to do this in a way where my wife will let me continue doing it, so I'm like, it's as cheap as possible.

00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:58.000
I mean, if you already have things like smart bulbs and that, Home Assistance will… Home Assistant will tie to a lot of the stuff you already have.

00:58:58.000 --> 00:58:59.000
You have none? Oh, okay, yeah.

00:58:59.000 --> 00:59:00.000
But that's what I'm saying, like, I have no smart heart. Yeah.

00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:10.000
every… every… I have… pretty much every light bulb that's in a lamp is a smart bulb. I have smart light switches and outlets and all that stuff all over the place.

00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:12.000
I mean, I would love… I would love to do that, but, you know, alas.

00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:17.000
Yeah. It's expensive. Um, when we move, I've been speccing out

00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:18.000
Hmm.

00:59:18.000 --> 00:59:24.000
Um, putting in a new security system and network through Unifi's system… uh, uh…

00:59:24.000 --> 00:59:29.000
system, they're like, ooh, this is pretty. But it's, like, six grand.

00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:30.000
Uh, so…

00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:32.000
Yeah. Yeah.

00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:35.000
But yeah, I mean, um…

00:59:35.000 --> 00:59:39.000
because I have almost as a, uh, NA and…

00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:43.000
Uh, that does a bunch of different things for stuff around here.

00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:47.000
Uh, what was it? But there was something else I was asking before that, too, because of it.

00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:53.000
Oh, YouTube-wise, um, there's also… have you heard of, um…

00:59:53.000 --> 00:59:55.000
Uh, U-Track…

00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:59.000
And tube archivist.

00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:04.000
Are those, like, the ones that back up YouTube and, like, give you a proxy? Yeah, I have looked into that.

01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:12.000
Well, they will… they'll actually… both… there's ones that will give you a proxy, but ones that will actually back up YouTube locally.

01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:13.000
Yeah.

01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:19.000
So you can hold on to YouTube videos. Those are interesting, especially when people pull content and their tutorials for things that you need.

01:00:19.000 --> 01:00:20.000
Um, but yeah, I don't wait too much.

01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:30.000
Yeah. I do. I do a lot of, um… I do. I do pull stuff off of YouTube.

01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:38.000
I have a few programs that will do that, but it's very piecemeal. It's just kind of like, I have to decide to like run it. It's not automated in any way, so… Yeah. Yeah.

01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:53.000
Oh yeah, mine's the same way, is I have to actually tell it that I want this video over here, and most of it is, like, people will, you know, laugh at this…

01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:54.000
Yeah. Okay.

01:00:54.000 --> 01:00:58.000
Um, people will add to YouTube things like the soundtrack to Disney parades and fireworks shows, and I'll grab things like that, uh, because they'll have a tendency sometimes to get pulled back down.

01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:00.000
Um, yeah.

01:01:00.000 --> 01:01:03.000
Yeah. Alright, folks. Well, we made it all the way to the hour. Look at this.

01:01:03.000 --> 01:01:05.000
Yeah.

01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:09.000
Did you submit the the CFP? Yeah.

01:01:09.000 --> 01:01:10.000
Yep, and uh…

01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:15.000
I did, yeah. Oh, the wait the CFP.

01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:16.000
Yeah, yeah.

01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:17.000
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:18.000
I mean, the submission for the session, uh…

01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:24.000
And then, uh, WolfCon, we will get Martin into, um, setting up a home lab.

01:01:24.000 --> 01:01:30.000
Yes. Who knows what miracles will have come up with by then?

01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:31.000
Yeah.

01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:32.000
Yeah. Oh.

01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:40.000
I know what it was. Um, look at the Home Assistant community and the LLMs they're using. There's a lot of people there that are buying cheap Mac Minis for, like, $600.

01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:41.000
Yeah.

01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:51.000
And using those for, uh, local language models, because they have the unified memory. You can't run massive, massive, massive models, but you can run usually, like, 20 billion token models fairly easily.

01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:52.000
And for 600 pucks?

01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:57.000
Yeah. It's like, uh… GPT 3 or 3.5, something like that. Yeah.

01:01:57.000 --> 01:01:58.000
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Exactly.

01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:00.000
Hmm.

01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:01.000
Okay. Alright, well, take it easy, folks.

01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:05.000
Yeah, there… hold on. Yep. Take care.

01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:14.000
Okay.
