I wanted to just come on here today as we're wrapping up 2024 events and talking about 2025. wanted to just come on here give a little update of what we have done and what I've worked with passing things up from Adam to me and to moving on into the next year. that's kind of where I wanted to begin. + +Amanda Keay: So, I kind of came on really May, I guess when Adam went on paternity leave in June. and we kind of did a whole slew of events. I think we hit a total of 13 different main conference events in 2024. it was a really big success from so many of you that were able to come as insiders as well as just community support on Twitter and Discord. we had a lot of really good conversations. We were able to sponsor booths. I think we had six or seven different booths in the past year. and all those conversations, we went really big on 2024, hitting everything. pretty much having a budget that was equal to each of those events. + +Amanda Keay: And post 2024, we wanted to take all those things that we learned from those conferences and adjust the budgets accordingly to conferences that we thought meant a lot more to the team. we had a lot really good conversations based on attendance and on. So 2025 we have I guess three different tiers of budgets that we're going to be working with. tier one is going to be our biggest one. We're planning on bringing the most amount of people to those conferences. we're going to be sponsoring the main conference, having an extended and bigger booth usually. we've been doing 10 by10 booths and it's been really good. It's been packed, but we're getting to the point of needing to expand a little bit. so we're trying to go to a larger booth, have a bigger presence at some of these tier 2 events are also going to be sponsored. + +Amanda Keay: So, we're going to have speaking engagements, sponsorships, booths, side events, the whole shebang. roughly looking between five people to attend those conferences. And then lastly, our tier three event is going to be no sponsorship. We're going to come and take those conferences, apply for speaking engagements, but, kind of just attending the events instead of the ones sponsoring. So, we're going to be using those smaller events, the ones that are close to New York City or some of them in Europe and things that are close to use those opportunities to just have a smaller presence. not as much budget not as much overhead is going to be needed for those events. So, that's kind of what Zach and I along with some more of the core team have put together as far as our tiers for moving into 2024. + +Amanda Keay: I'm going to share my screen in a second so that I can share which events we plan on hitting into 2025. But while I do that, Zach, do you have anything to add before + +Zach Horn: No, I think that was a great overview. I mean, that's generally the high level strategy and I think what as you're pulling up the document, you'll see how we've broken these things out. by far the largest, tier two coming in much lower than that, and then tier three is really tertiary, very small. + +Amanda Keay: They're not in order of when we're attending. + +Zach Horn: The general idea is that, this year we did this huge range of events. We did everything right. But what we felt like going into next year is that we can concentrate the budget that we have towards these larger tier one events that we know are really high value and then take some budget away from some of these smaller events that are worth attending but maybe not having a huge presence. So let's jump right into the doc and just I would run through all the events we're going to go through Amanda and then we can jump into the tiers as well. + +Amanda Keay: I started off the first quarter. So we're going to be attending ETH Denver and Nvidia Denver is obviously in Denver. Nvidia is going to be in California. both of those are going to be in the first quarter. They're our largest tier. So we're doing a bigger booth sponsorship bringing out a bunch of people. + +Amanda Keay: We're going to have speaking engagements. insiders are obviously coming out as well. We're going to be doing side events and all of that. So, the budget for tier one, as you can see, is 283 roughly around there. with bigger booths, it comes more money. With spending more people also, it's just naturally you're going to be spending a little bit more. we also have budget in there that for some of these side events or an official summit in a correlation to a big conference. We'd like to have an AV team come and shoot some really good content. so we have that in the budget as well. I'm not saying we're going to do it for every conference and of course those funds will be returned back to the community pool if we don't use them. So, those are the first two events for quarter 1. I guess I can go to quarter two. + + +### 00:05:00 + +Amanda Keay: It's kind of out of order. Sorry guys. Token 2049 Dubai is going to be in quarter 2. Permissionless. Super AI Singapore, those are all quarter 2 events. I think Permissionless is going to be in Brooklyn this year. So, that's exciting. We're planning on also for those of you who attended or heard about Akos accelerate, we are going to be doing AOS accelerate in New York City in correlation or just leading up to permissionless. So that's really exciting. So looking to do that in June. The dates are not set yet, but that'll be a totally different proposal. + +Amanda Keay: moving on to quarter three, if I can see, ICML Vancouver, that is an AI conference similar to what we're going to be doing, in just a few weeks, with Nurips. it's going to be a very academic developer focused AI event. So, we're planning on hitting that one in quarter 3. ETHC, which is going to be in France this year, and Korea Blockchain Week. So those are the main conferences for quarter 3. And then for quarter four we have the two big moving back to the top. We have token 2049 Singapore which was really good this past year. So we wanted to expend our budget a little bit for that as well as nurups. that's the other AI conference that we're going to be attending. And then CubeCon, Masari mainet and Cosmoverse. I'm not exactly sure when Cosmoverse is going to be this year. + +Amanda Keay: So, I have it in quarter four, but that's just based on the last few years. It's been roughly around the end of quarter 3, quarter four. and then at the end, you can see in line item 15, we have an overage amount. That's going to be kind of up to community and core team members to decide if there are any conferences or anything that we would like to attend. so often things get presented to us last minute. So it's not something that we can plan for if a Stanford blockchain week we wanted to go out there we have those funds in order to do So we have a little bit of budget there to bring community members out to attend hackathons. yeah the one-off conferences that are maybe in SF or Austin or New York City that we feel like would be a really good thing to attend but it's just not presented to us with months in advance. + +Amanda Keay: I guess after that I will take a little break and see if anyone has any questions based on this. And also please raise your hand if there's a conference on here that you would like to potentially see us going to. this is a working document. We're not planning on putting anything on chain until after Thanksgiving for the US holidays. So we have some time to work through this and would love to get your feedback for those of you who attended or community members who are joined us today. I see thumbs up, which is good. anyone have any vocal opinions? I love talking, but okay, Robert. + +Robert Del Rey: + +Robert Del Rey: Yeah, the list is very solid. like you say, I guess it's better to focus on those big events and those events that the audience can have a bigger impact for a cashache as far as reach goes and also a cash can have a bigger impact on those events since they are crypto and AI. I just noticed that on the list you don't have a consensus added. + +Amanda Keay: + +Robert Del Rey: I don't know if they're going to do that in 2025, but yeah, overall it looks really solid. + +Amanda Keay: Yeah, thank you. + +Amanda Keay: We don't have consensus on the list. I know that was one that It was based in Austin in the last few years. It's moving up to Toronto this year. Let me actually check. I'm not sure what's the date on that. it might be. But I will write that down. and if it's one that it's May 14th through 16th. but I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you, Robert. Does anyone else have anything? No. Zach, do you have anything to add? + + +### 00:10:00 + +Zach Horn: Yeah, I would say the one point that's worth highlighting here is you see that the total budget that we're looking at for next year is roughly in line of our budget for this year. It's a little bit more but not an order of magnitude bigger or anything like that. what essentially we're getting out of this is because we're concentrating budget towards these tier one events, our presence when we go to Denver, when we go to GTC, right, is going to be significantly larger. we're bumping up to a whole different sponsorship tier. We're going to have a much larger booth. + +Zach Horn: We're going to have professional videography and photography and all those things, So, basically what we're doing is we're concentrating the budget, right, without pushing the total budget significantly. So, we're essentially doing more with roughly the same amount of funds, which one I think is going to be great for the community. + +Amanda Keay: + +Zach Horn: And then as Amanda was saying, this budget just gives us room to do a lot more of the things we need to be doing, but for whatever reason we end up short of the budget, all of that goes back to the community full. So, there's nothing no wasted funds. + +Amanda Keay: One other thing,… + +Amanda Keay: if you look over onto the event mix, one of our goals for 2025 was to try to get to a more even split of blockchain conferences and AI conferences. Right now we're at 33 and 60%. So it's getting close. we are planning on this weekend we're sponsoring a hackathon with Meta and Cerebral Valley. So that would kind of fall under the AI sort of events. So we'd like to try to keep that split a little bit more even rather than just solely focusing on blockchain conferences. + +Amanda Keay: that's why we're planning on attending and doing the larger tier events for Nurups, for NVIDIA and all the ones that are listed here. as well as trying to build out our presence a little bit more, in SF and trying to get connected there with AI developers and some hackathons. So I know Adam is working with the community and with hackathons. So, we've been talking and we're going to continue to, be aligned on that and try to make our budgets stretch as far as we can. I know a lot from the community when I've been attending the conferences, people from the community have come to me and said it's a cautious everywhere, which I love to hear. So, we want to continue that. I don't want to ever scale back that and now it looks like we're not attending. So, that's why we have pretty much the same roughly the similar budget. + +Amanda Keay: + +Amanda Keay: We're attending 14 conferences with potentials in between with that overage funds. So We still want to have that sentiment of everywhere we look a cautious there without wasting money and focusing our efforts we want on the ones that we think will be the best for the company. So that is where we are at right now. not really sure how to end this. + +Amanda Keay: If + +Zach Horn: Just real real quick,… + +Zach Horn: Amanda, I saw maybe someone else just joined. we were talking a little bit earlier if there was any feedback or any other events you think we should attend. So, not to put you on the spot, Julius, but if you have any questions, comments, happy to hear them. I'll take one emoji. I'll take that. by the way, Julius, not to derail this meeting, but the AOSGen roll out was fantastic. So, I'll give you a little public shout out even though it's not on topic for this meeting. Tyler, go ahead. + +Tyler Wright: + +Tyler Wright: Yeah, I think we got great feedback or at least opportunity for people to give feedback. I think there'll be a discussion that will go up so people can provide additional feedback. the only thing I'll remind people is typical those that want to go to these events, can go through the cash insiders program and then from there again there will be signups throughout the year for those that want to participate in these events. So, just a reminder to folks, that maybe joined sick community call yesterday,… + +Amanda Keay: Thanks. + +Tyler Wright: and heard the plan from Adam about the community efforts for 2025 and just how folks can get more involved in events like this,… + +Tyler Wright: etc. So, amazing work, sorry, not guys and gal. All y'all. + +Zach Horn: Yeah. Yeah. + +Zach Horn: What's the plural of All y'all. + +Tyler Wright: Yeah, exactly. + +Zach Horn: That's That's right. in terms of timeline, what we're thinking at this point is that we're going to wait to get through Thanksgiving, then we're going to put this on GitHub discussions. So there's going to be a chance to drop in notes or feedback or anything else async if you want to do that on GitHub. That'll be up for a month through the end of the year or so. And then I think the last plan I heard was Huie is that we're going to do the Q1 prop on chain. So that'll be next year. But look, we'll make sure you guys have the link once it's on GitHub. And if you want to drop any feedback there, definitely feel free. + + +### 00:15:00 + +Amanda Keay: + +Tyler Wright: And otherwise we can end early. + +Amanda Keay: Yeah. No,… + +Amanda Keay: thanks, Zach. does anyone else have anything to add? + +Tyler Wright: That's all we wanted to cover is just like the plan and then folks can see the discussion and give their feedback live, get their feedback via the discussion and then we can move forward. + +Amanda Keay: Yep. Awesome. + +Tyler Wright: Appreciate it. + +Amanda Keay: Thank you everyone who showed up today. and looking forward to killing it in 2025. I'm super excited. I have a lot of great ideas for events for next year and it brings me a lot of joy. and I like meeting all of you, too. So, yes, I do have Okay, hold on. We're not that is happening. I know this is recorded. I used to hate on Crocs. Sorry about this, guys. + +Amanda Keay: I own three pair and I'm going to get a fourth and then get the little aos things to go on it. So yes, that's the plan. Thank you Luna for bringing that up. We got to have the koozies too for Adam. I know it's ridiculous, but got to bring those out. so love the community ideas, too. So keep them drop them to me if you think of anything that's cool that you'd like to see at the booth or for swag. that's a whole other discussion that falls under the merchandise side of things, which we're planning on doing a lot of really cool things moving into next year as well. So if there's anything that you guys want to add, please u my DMs are open both on Twitter and Telegram and everywhere. So thanks for coming everyone and look forward to seeing some of you guys soon. + +Zach Horn: Awesome. Thanks,… + +Rodri R: Thank you guys. Bye. + +Zach Horn: guys.

It is November 27th, 2024. during this special interest group for providers, the group gets together and talks about all things related to the AOSH provider on the AOSH network. usually we get feedback from the Dval and Jigger who originally developed something called Ptor an easy way for people to build providers on the Akash network as of the last really six to eight months at this point. the Prador team has joined the overclock labs team and they are working on the Akash console 2.0 + +Tyler Wright: 0 which will include the provider side of the console and open source experience. We get updates from Jigger and Deval on all things related to their work there. so that's how we'll start off our agenda. After that we'll talk about see if there's anybody else that has any issues related to provider that they want to discuss. I know that there's been some work happening from the overclock labs core team around provider stability and some things that have been discussed in six support and elsewhere. So again, there might be some updates there, but I do want to see before we hop into updates from Jigger and Deval if there's anything that anybody wants to discuss on the provider side here, feel free to drop it in the chat and we can make sure we discuss it here. Cool. + +Tyler Wright: again, feel free to drop in any agenda items during the course of the meeting, but at this point, I do want to kick it over to Jigger and Dval. At last month, at the last sick providers meeting, we got a demo from Jigger and Dval on the work they've been doing around console. and that was quite exciting. That demo is again available on GitHub. You can go inside the SIG providers inside the community repo, and just look at the notes and the transcript and video from last month. But I'll hand it over to Jigger and Dval to see if there's an update from all the work that they've been working on this past month. + +Jigar Patel: So I want to start with the features that we have added into our console beta since the last length. We have added a deployments page and deployments details page. we also added pricing and attributes update features as well. So now can update the pricing and accurates for their provider. we've also added a pers storage which is a huge thing considering the functionality that actually taps into and all these things the functionality depends on the control machine access. + +Jigar Patel: So we also added a functionality where you can reconnect your openform machines if not connected. and then everything is obviously restored in the browser and everything. So no there's no data stored on our site anything. and then we also added a settings where you can restart your provider. And next thing that we are currently working on getting the logs into those actions. So all these update pricing attributes person storage or any provider build. so everything is a action that happens on the provider side. + +Jigar Patel: so we are actually working on getting all the logs related to those actions and based on that you'll able to see those logs as well. So we are actually currently working on it. some of the k are already merged and some of that is in the review right now. we are obviously going back and forth me the wall Maxaro and then yeah based on basically we're constantly working on that hoping to give a demo on the next meeting with the full functionality everything that I already mentioned here and more. Thanks. + +Tyler Wright: Thank you. Again, there's a repo inside the AOS network organization where you can track all the work from Jigger and al. and again, there please feel free to use the sick providers channel or the providers channel inside Discord to ask any technical questions. and I believe there still is the ecosystem prair channel for folks that have prator issues that they're currently facing. Again the transition and plans around how things will transition from pritor to akos console will be made available soon. So yeah anyone have any questions specifically on the work from Jigger and Cool. All right. + + +### 00:05:00 + +Tyler Wright: one other thing that I just wanted to bring up very quickly is again around there's been some people in the community that on the provider side that have brought up some issues around dangling leases around just the provider experience in general. I know that the core engineering team over the last couple of months has been looking into looking to solve some of these issues with a couple of upgrades and provider upgrades that have happened. But again, the core team has been spending some cycles along with everything else you see on the pro product and engineering roadmap around just basic provider stability in general. why some leases are closing at specific times and the behavior around that. + +Tyler Wright: that behavior is expected behavior as designed, but again, there's some talk and some work being done to potentially change that behavior for the betterment of the user experience of the provider. So, again, there's been some tests that have been going on internally with the core engineering team and some members of the community. but that might be something that gets talked about at the steering committee or the next SIG provider meeting or SIG support around again some of those improvements to the provider experience. so again, if you're a provider, please look out for what could be some potential upgrades coming soon or at least again some changes that should improve the provider experience. + +Tyler Wright: I know that Andre is quite active and does a great job of making announcements in various channels related to provider. Over the last month since our last provider meeting, there's been some announcements going out as it pertains to certain behaviors. Again, many of those behaviors we talked about in other SIGs and have been updated. I just want to see if there's again anything else with active providers coming out of the provider announcements channel or anywhere else that anybody wants to discuss or get more clarity All right. + +Tyler Wright: The last thing that I was going to touch on and Max, keep me honest here and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there's been some updates to the API that have had a positive impact on just the provider side and I think these are things that are being leveraged by Jigger and Deval as they're continuing to build out console 2.0. So, I know that Max C, and others have been again working on some again API changes to the indexer and continuing to improve the indexer, especially on the provider side. So, I know that I believe there have been some updates there. If they're not live yet, they should live soon, but I just wanted to call out again some additional efforts from members of the core team around the provider. + +Tyler Wright: All is there anything else that anybody wants to share right now? I know there's a number of other efforts being done by community members and members of the core team, but I just want to see if there's anything on the provider side that anybody wants to discuss, ask questions about, or get more clarity around here today. If not, then again, feel free to use the providers channel in Discord. there's provider builds channel for folks that are looking to again build kind of bare metal resources that they're going to bring on to the Akos network. Again, there's a number of channels and number of folks active in those channels. So, shout out to everybody that gives feedback helps other people in those channels. Much appreciated. + +Tyler Wright: feel free to use the ecosystem praor channel if you have any questions related to prator. and then looking forward to our next s providers meeting where we'll get another demo on all the work that the praor team has been doing around akos console 2.0. I'm sure there'll be additional updates around some of the provider stability work and pod stability work that the core team has been doing. and then we'll start to outline next steps on the provider side as we look towards a Cosmos SDK47 upgrade. Again, for folks not in the know, there was a massive upgrade that the core engineering team has been working on as it pertains to migrating from Cosmos SDK 45 to 47. Should be a whole big unlock for a number of things. + + +### 00:10:00 + +Tyler Wright: the test net of testing CLI functionality has been going on for the last three or four weeks in both internally and with members of the community. That testing is almost complete. We've gotten a great deal of feedback and implementing some changes there. And then next part of the test net will be clients testing and providers testing of the Cosmos SDK 47 or SDK 47. So again, we'll probably call upon some people from the community to help out with that testing when the time is right as we look to plan for the network upgrade happening in January or early February depending on testing and how that goes. Cool. If there's nothing else then again I urge people to stay involved in providers channels and Discord. thank you to everybody for joining today. + +Tyler Wright: if anybody has anything that they want to talk about, please feel free to drop a message in Discord. If anybody has any issues that they want to discuss, feel free to again talk to members of the community. There's always vanguards and other folks in the community that can help you get questions answered from there. If there's a specific issue, then it could be escalated and folks can open up issues inside the support repo, which is where everything related to the core Akos network lives, So again you can see tags by provider, you can see tags by node repo etc. so again please if you want to get involved with specific provider issues or if you have see an issue please know where you can report it. Thank you all for joining today. + +Tyler Wright: Again, the steering committee is going to be moved to the beginning of December because of some holidays in America, but I look forward to seeing you all at the next SIG providers getting again another demo from Jigger and Deval. and again, we can just discuss anything else in between. Hope everyone has a great rest of their day and again thank you all for your constant contributions and support. Appreciate y'all. Bye-bye. + + +### Meeting ended after 00:23:17 👋 + From d8c8cf56fbfa29cd12f0f63a1c87aec16bd9a123 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Appiah <48031636+iamGeorgePro@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 01:38:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Create meeting notes for wg-website #37 (#745) * Create meeting notes for wg-website #37 Signed-off-by: George Appiah <48031636+iamGeorgePro@users.noreply.github.com> * Update 037-2024-10-24.md added transcript CHORE: add recording link Signed-off-by: Drinkwater * Update 037-2024-10-24.md added recording link Signed-off-by: Drinkwater --------- Signed-off-by: George Appiah <48031636+iamGeorgePro@users.noreply.github.com> Signed-off-by: Drinkwater Co-authored-by: Drinkwater --- wg-akash-website/meetings/037-2024-10-24.md | 200 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 200 insertions(+) create mode 100644 wg-akash-website/meetings/037-2024-10-24.md diff --git a/wg-akash-website/meetings/037-2024-10-24.md b/wg-akash-website/meetings/037-2024-10-24.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..924c9139 --- /dev/null +++ b/wg-akash-website/meetings/037-2024-10-24.md @@ -0,0 +1,200 @@ +# Akash Network - Akash Website Working Group (WG) - Meeting #37 + +## Agenda +- Review of tasks completed in the past two weeks. +- Updates and ongoing discussions on open issues. +- Suggestions for new issues and task assignments. +- Improvements for the Akash website, including UX updates and community engagement. + +## Meeting Details +- Date: Thursday, October 24, 2024 +- Time: 6:30 AM PT (Pacific Time) +- [Recording](https://5vfonw66kuy62zkslvyzffz2y3vr2p36aegwzd632vfshxheyyia.arweave.net/7Urm295VMe1lUl1xkpc6xusdP34BDWyP29VLI9zkxhA) +- [Transcript](#Transcript) + +## Participants +- Benjamin B +- Deathless +- Denis Lelic +- Hiroyuki's Notetaker +- M R +- Piyush +- Rodri R +- Tyler Wright + +## Meeting Notes +### Completed Tasks +- **Logo Update:** + - The Akash logo was updated to align with other initiatives like Chat API. + - Task completed by Benjamin or Piber Dev. + +- **Events Page UX Updates:** + - Reorganized event listings chronologically, removing month filters. + - Adjusted tile graphics for consistency in size and layout. + - Minor design improvements completed to improve the visual experience. + +- **Calendar UI Discussion:** + - Observed inconsistency in calendar views due to ongoing Google updates. + - Decided to keep the issue open until November 4 to allow updates to settle. + +### Open Issues +- **Global Search Feature:** + - Suggested by Piyush and his team to enable global search functionality across the website. + - Awaiting further expansion and detailed UI ideas in the comments section. + +- **GPU Resource Enablement Page:** + - Assigned to Piyush, awaiting updates regarding provider directions. + - Task progress pending confirmation from external contributor Andrey. + +- **Community Page Overhaul:** + - Recognized the need for redesign and additional content for the community page. + - Adam to provide new content ideas, with mock-ups to be created by Denis. + - Focus areas include better visuals, content on community contributions, and integrations. + +- **Calendar Accessibility:** + - Suggested making the calendar more visible via a sticky button or header link. + - Issue to remain open for implementation based on content updates. + +### Contributor Coordination +- **Transparency in Contributions:** + - Tyler emphasized the importance of tracking contributions publicly for community visibility. + - Contributors are to log hours and PRs against bounty tickets for transparency. + - Monthly contributor rewards to be processed based on logged hours and contributions. + +### Miscellaneous Updates +- **Community Engagement:** + - Encouraged increased participation in issue creation and implementation from community members. + - Plans to feature community activities and photos on the redesigned community page. + +- **Upcoming Meetings:** + - Denis to take time off in the next two weeks; Tyler will coordinate meetings and provide updates. + - Future meetings to focus on addressing high-priority issues and ongoing projects. + +### Closing Remarks +- Denis thanked participants and encouraged continued discussions on Discord. +- Meetings to proceed as planned, with recordings reviewed for updates in Denis's absence. + +## Action Items +- **Denis Lelic:** + - Create mock-ups for the community page redesign. + - Monitor calendar UI updates and share progress on Discord. + +- **Piyush:** + - Provide updates on the GPU Resource Enablement page. + - Expand on the global search feature issue with detailed implementation plans. + +- **Tyler Wright:** + - Track and manage contributor submissions for hours and PRs. + - Coordinate meetings during Denis's absence and provide updates. + +- **Adam:** + - Share additional content ideas for the community page overhaul. + +# **Transcript** + +Denis Lelic: Hey everybody and welcome to today's working group meeting for Akash website.

We usually go through the issues that We fixed in the previous two weeks and then we try to either create or discuss new ones that we're going to tackle in the next two weeks. So I'm just gonna get us going. issues. In the last two weeks. + +Denis Lelic: Okay, it's probably this one because we skipped last meeting, we moved it today.

So it's basically this style here. it says Akash sdxl, it's kind of + +Denis Lelic: Aligned with all the other initiatives and products like Akash, Chat API, and so on and so on. so, + +Denis Lelic: So if this icon was distorted kind of compressed a little bit I think Benjamin or Fiber Dev fixed this one.

Some of the functionality here, and The page looks Now, So we have all the events listed we skipped months and we just list all of the events that are happening in. + +Denis Lelic: I don't know, chronological order. So we got a headline here. And tiles and so on. and there's a button to see all the past events. So, This thing here, changes and all of the events are listed here. Yes. And there was a minor change after we did this. It was basically just a line. All of the Images sort of their kind of in the same size and it's not breaking the layout and so on. So this was the issue. + +Denis Lelic: Purify size of the graphics. So that was done as well. Okay, so there's a big discussion happening here around this calendar UI. So basically, there's All right, two views that are happening. Occasionally the first one happens in the majority of times when users view the calendar. And this one happens from time to time, I guess Google was testing at this new calendar and I believe we see + +Denis Lelic: Leon Kurt Master set, a Google assistant process of fully launching this new eye, according to this blog post expert expected to be fully launched by November 4th. So I suggest we just keep this issue open for the next 10 days and we'll see if it's updated but thanks to all of you who joined this discussion. And we're just trying to figure out why this thing is happening. Hopefully, in 10 days, we'll have this issue, fixed and close. + +Denis Lelic: I'm just gonna have anything else happened. And if any other comments happened here around other issues, this issue was brought up by human HQ so Piyush and his team and it was just asking a global search across the whole website. + +Denis Lelic: So Peter and his team, they're gonna expand this issue and provide more details, whenever they find time, I guess. + + +### 00:05:00 + +Denis Lelic: Okay. + +Denis Lelic: I'm just reading the chat here.

Let's try something. + +Denis Lelic: Yeah, sounds good. Maybe we can just expand a little bit, the whole idea and everything behind This idea and how the UI would look like here and the issue section in the comment sections. + +Denis Lelic: Some of these issues are a bit. maybe outdated this one for adding FAQ space which is gonna go through these a bit late and see you what can we close + +Denis Lelic: This one has created a while ago. I'm just gonna revisit this one quickly. GPU Resource Enablement page, should contain directions to provider feature. Okay, I see human age. You self assigned this two weeks ago.

We should definitely have a look at the content. We have to restructure the content a little bit. I talked to Zach about it but he's been working on different tasks and probably whenever he finds time. He's gonna have a look at this thing here and see what can we do. One thing I was talking about we should talk more about integrations here and also, + +Denis Lelic: Some sort of call to action or a section where we talk about startups, and how they can leverage Network and universities as well. So that's something we should add here as well.

I have already paid him with the preview, Thank so these are the issues that are still currently open. and as usual, I'm gonna leave this part of the meeting open for discussions. If you guys want to talk about anything, maybe if you've seen a bug here, there you want to create a new issue, or you want to tackle some of these that are still open, just feel free to talk. yes, Benjamin + +Benjamin B: Hi, I just want to mention that. I'm jumping in a little for Robert now, for the silly secret code for Participating in this whole And a slow time. The code for this meeting will be www.

Yes, I + +Tyler Wright: I just want to see if there's issues created for the community page or any of those other pages that I know we want people to help contribute, I know we need to do some mock-ups for, I know that Adam is working on content for the community page. And again, I know we have a number of contributors in the ecosystem there looking to get more involved, but I just want to see if there's an issue for the community yet. If not, can we create one? + +Denis Lelic: Sure Which part of the community. Sorry. + + +### 00:10:00 + +Tyler Wright: The end I think the entire community page needs an overhaul. I think right now it's very bare minimum to say the least and so I think the entire page needs a rework redesign and then this is a ton more content that Adam wants to add to it. + +Denis Lelic: Yeah, I agree. I think we're missing. Also something about + +Denis Lelic: A general page about community so we have. + +Tyler Wright: Yeah, exactly. + +Denis Lelic: Yeah, We have the insiders community contributions and validators. So Especially this page around insiders could tell more, it could be visually more. Engaging, I guess we can share some photos from the events as we discussed a couple of times already, but I'll get in touch, maybe with Adam to see, what are his ideas around it and we can just take it from there. I'll create a mock up. We'll do some iterations and for anyone's interested from the community to create this implemented. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of takers. I'm happy to see each issue has a bunch of people. + +Denis Lelic: Trying to work on themselves, but just great. That's something we were looking for basically, from the beginning of this Building in the open on how to call it, exactly. But I'm sure your guys are aware what I'm talking about. Yes. + +Tyler Wright: Yeah, I + +Tyler Wright: I just want to add to that for those that are contributing. Yeah, we talked about things, we assign project, if you can drop in just the hours. And I think many of folks are doing. But just as a reminder, if you could drop in the hours and then specific PR inside of the bounty ticket. This is just a way for us to track items in the public. Again, we have ways to contact you all to make sure that you all get paid end of each month for contributions that are approved on via this working group. But I just want to make sure that everybody is putting their contributions in the open because then that gets added to a transparent sheet so they can continue to improve the value of the community support proposal. And all the work that is being done by this group. So again, we try to be as transparent as possible for those that are contributing to the website or Please happy finishing item with the PR in there, just for visibility, and then the hours + +Tyler Wright: again if ours seem like erroneous the community will continue to check each other on that. But again, just put the hours and the prs and then we'll make sure that everyone gets proper rewards at the end of each month. + +Denis Lelic: Yeah, I I usually direct all contributors to do the same, so thanks time. + +Denis Lelic: So anything else you guys want to discuss? + +Tyler Wright: Real Quick. Can you go to the development page? Please. + +Denis Lelic: Yes. + +Tyler Wright: Perfect. + +Tyler Wright: Okay, doesn't seem like much of an issue here when I was on a browser, maybe I had a different size computer but the calendar wasn't visible and I was wondering because the calendar is so important. If there should be a link to it at the top in that second header, or if it doesn't matter as much. But right here on your browser, doesn't seem to be an issue, you can get right to it. So I was just really quickly want to see if there's any thoughts on that, but it seems like it's fine for now. So I'll leave it. + +Denis Lelic: Yeah, while we're at the calendar here, it's the I guess already updated UI. So sometimes I'm seeing the other one. Now it's this new one but for the + +Denis Lelic: Let me see. But issue is just threat, you've just raised a while ago, we talked about having community calendar, as a sticky button which would follow the scroll all the time. And + +Denis Lelic: Yeah, it would look like this. So when a user clicks on this, it's just gonna open up the whole calendar and it's gonna look something. In this manner. But as soon as we have, + + +### 00:15:00 + +Denis Lelic: Some updates regarding the content on this page. I'll give a green light here in this issue and I'll share down the discord as well if anyone wants to help with the implementation but yeah, I do agree Tyler with Calendar should be more permanent and In users face. + +Denis Lelic: Okay, cool. + +Denis Lelic: Okay, so We're kind of went quickly through the closed issues and mention all these that are still open and I'll create an issue for the community as well. So if you guys, Agree. We can wrap it up early today and next week and then week after that I'll be taking some time off but you guys are free to meet Tyler's gonna. I'm sure inform you if the meeting is going to move otherwise I'll Have a look at the recording, just to see where we at. + +Denis Lelic: thanks for joining everyone.

Thank you so much for joining these I cast YouTube working group on this call We discuss all things about a cash YouTube at the moment. The plan is to revamp the channel make it look better make it attract more people. And overall overall revamping their Cash YouTube channel and improves their content quality. So yeah. + +Robert Del Rey: Thank you for joining. So guys I don't have many topics for today as you can see Tyler's not joining Dennis. It's not joining either. We're still trying to figure out. the best time for this call So bear with us for a second. + +Robert Del Rey: yeah last week. + +Robert Del Rey: What did we do last week? Let me open up my agenda? + +Robert Del Rey: awesome All that's quick. I remember I show you some shorts that are gonna be available in the cash due to page. we had two items to follow up on this week. One of them was uploading the sitting comedy course YouTube. I gotta say I haven't uploaded them yet. Because I still don't have the graphics to upload them. so basically instead of just uploading the calls as they are. We want to edit the calls a little to Opening screen and add a closiness screen So until I get that I won't be able to upload. the video + +Robert Del Rey: Is it the tireless screen that we still needed when you say that Tyler's screen is youre Or you're referring to an intro S3 in the actual video. + +Robert Del Rey: that little intro that Tyler talked about I still haven't got those assets so. + +Robert Del Rey: I thought I could upload the videos to YouTube and then edit the videos. But that is not possible in YouTube. If we want to add something like that to the video, it has to be added before we upload you. So that's why I have an uploaded because I don't have the assets as soon as I get the assets. I will upload them. I believe I will end up doing them myself maybe who knows? But yeah, that. I can tell you though that the three YouTube shorts are ready for publishing after getting your feedback guys. This short look way better now, and I'm ready for posting. Let me go ahead and share my screen weekly with you so you can see it as well. + +Robert Del Rey: And yeah, this should be the ones. boasts one second guys + +Robert Del Rey: second + +Robert Del Rey: I had a pride. + +Robert Del Rey: Okay, I will share my screen. Okay. Okay. What's your message? + +Robert Del Rey: Let me know if you can see it guys. + +Robert Del Rey: You said? Okay. Hey don't play with my man. you didn't see in the car. + +Robert Del Rey: on the environment another day alive All So let me show you guys I uploaded the three shorts. They are unlisted at the moment. So. Nobody can see them only people with the link. And yeah, let's see this one. The quality is a little bit better. also presentation + + +### 00:05:00 + +Robert Del Rey: I believe that so yeah guys that is one of the best shorts at the moment. I would only show you this one. The other two were fixed Which upload them soon? + +Robert Del Rey: But yeah, that's the thing. I want to share with you. Like I said, this call is going to be a little short today. There are some conflicting calls which are affecting the attendance, but That is one that those are the topics from last week the graphic assets, which we don't have yet in the YouTube short spinal versions. + +Robert Del Rey: Besides that another topic that I wanted to bring to the table. It's about comments and replies on the YouTube channel at the moment. We're not getting that many comments, but still we get one or two comments a week. + +Robert Del Rey: at the moment. Nobody's responding them. So let me show you one question. + +Robert Del Rey: That there is at the moment. for example Let me just share the screen again. + +Robert Del Rey: I'd say we'll just share this thing again. It's easier to explain that way. And you see the screen guys? + +Robert Del Rey: I see a thumbs Thanks, Rodney. So at the moment, for example, we got this month. We got these two comments. These one is three weeks ago. It says this video needs to be remade. I watched the video and I thought I agree the video looks a little blurry. And it's very hard to follow the instructions. So I do agree with this guy that the video will be uploaded again. Now the comment that I want to grieve to bring to your attention is usually most of the comments are related to this can I use a regular computer with a 360 and put it on the Akash Network? Usually most of the questions are in this line. how can I provide on a cash? What computer do I need to provide on my cash things like that? + +Robert Del Rey: So what I wanted to ask you a specifically rodri, I wanted to get your input on this. How do you believe it's the best way to respond to this questions because the answer can get too big in my opinion? For example, there are many angles that you can answer this question. For example. You can ask the guy if if they want to make money in a question Network. And you're gonna provide with just a regular laptop. It's gonna be harder for you because you're gonna be against people with the big equipments you see + +Robert Del Rey: But if you want to just send out a cash and just know the flow of it and how you use it. It's certainly fine. If you connect a regular computer, we have 30 60. Am I early? Am I getting it right? So what I wanted to confirm is how it should respond, Should we give the answer short? and guide people to other places in the community or should we respond with a big text giving them all the possible details that they might. and the third question Who should answer this comments in their Cash YouTube channel? So I'll leave it up to you in case you want to share something. If not, that's totally fine. + +Rodri R: I'm an opinion and keeping a short would be better. especially if you put a text and on the video then maybe gonna take a while to read what they're gonna have to posit or something. Maybe point someone to the Discord. But maybe mostly short answers I think would be better. And what he said, it's right. I mean if you want to earn akt and to become a provider. If you just have your normal computer laptop. It's gonna be hard to compete with the larger providers. Although they could do some kind of maybe mining or other stuff that could earn them to make by deploying akt by a normal laptop or + + +### 00:10:00 + +Rodri R: earning a kitty would be earning something else, but you would be deploying on a cash. Yeah, it's kind of hard to keep it short because like you said there's many ways that can be done. + +Robert Del Rey: alternative with you, man That maybe we should route them to. other places like this or in there they can chat and ask all the questions that they want And this score we'll have to recognize that this or a cash Discord is one of the most helpful and responsive discourse in the crypto Market in my opinion. So against that yeah, like you say rodri's will keep the answer shorts and Route people to Discord. it's gonna give us a great result in my opinion. as if there is a calculators to let people estimate their earnings. I don't know if there is a calculator for that. Maybe rodri can share some like yeah. + +Rodri R: Yeah, there's a calculator in prayer app. I think it's now in the console as well. Yeah, there's a culture. I don't have the link right now, but there is one. + +Robert Del Rey: more than moving Thank you. Rodri. Okay, okay. + +Robert Del Rey: You need one second guys and high Tyler. + +Rodri R: I'll share the link to calculator later, but I'm at a Burger King right now taking care of the child in the playground. + +Robert Del Rey: And that's looking fine. Thanks for sharing. + +Robert Del Rey: I wouldn't mind having a burger right now, honestly. although it's + +Rodri R: I agree one now playing. + +Robert Del Rey: Okay guys, so just a little recap. God. Okay. What was it? + +Robert Del Rey: can you say that again rodried? What kind of content you're referring to right now? + +Robert Del Rey: thank you so much at the moment. Were not uploading anything. + +Robert Del Rey: in this time, we're just assessing the channels what we can do. Right now we're focused on the formatting of the videos. We are focused on the titles what they say. We're focus on the descriptions on the videos what they will say and around September we're gonna start phase two and during phase two we're gonna be more active with content. So I believe that that's the time where you can contribute way more because we're gonna repurpose the video. We're gonna pre upload them. And we also going to share in Twitter and other areas. So yeah, this is gonna be a big game for guys. So yeah be ready because when we start we're really gonna start if that makes sense. + +Robert Del Rey: So yeah, I was gonna do a little recap for the people joining later. Basically we cover. + +Robert Del Rey: The last week items Facebook about the graphic assets. We will include in the videos to be of love with it. I just clarify that when you upload a video to YouTube. There are some minor things that you can edit. but you cannot do a big editing For example, if I upload a video and I decided I want to add a new Opening screen or a new closet screen. I won't be able to do that. I will need to delete the video and edit the video and we upload again. So just guys to be aware about that. + + +### 00:15:00 + +Robert Del Rey: so one of the shorts that we're doing to highlight those sites of information in the info regarding the page. At the moment I did three shorts with one of the correct thoughts. And yeah, you saw the final version. It's later on YouTube. It hasn't been uploaded yet. But And we spoke about how we will handle the comments and responses. I totally agree with you. + +Robert Del Rey: guys Sorry, I just got a message. Iteran agreed with you guys rodri. We should keep the answers short and and Route people Are shots in the shots, they will have more chances to ask more broader questions. I guess go ahead project. + +Robert Del Rey: totally alrighty + +Robert Del Rey: so those are all the topics that I had for today. I'm just gonna open it up. To that you in a session in case you guys have questions or ideas now, it's a good time to share them. But before that, let me advise you guys the frequency of these call. It's gonna be change. + +Robert Del Rey: As I was saying Oakley, at the moment we're just reviewing the channel assessing the things that we would do. However, we're going to be way more active in the phase two for September or around that day. So the frequency of this call is gonna be changed at the moment instead of being weekly as we were doing it. It's gonna be By weekly now, it's gonna be every other week Guess one week. No. Or every two weeks after it in all the ways that you can say it I guess so, yeah. + +Robert Del Rey: Maybe after this month or maybe when we start the next phase and we need to give more updates. Maybe we can increase the frequency. Maybe we leave it that way. Who knows? But yeah at the moment the frequency of this call is going to be changed to apply weekly. That is one note that I have to share with you now. Yeah, we can answer to the Q&A session. So let me know guys anything else you want to touch about the attached YouTube channel + +Robert Del Rey: All right. If there is not that thoroughly fine. + +Robert Del Rey: Yeah, yeah. another thing that I have in the back of my head, but I haven't would much effort into it is only flicks TV, on Netflix is an old partner of a cash and somewhat big in the cosmos ecosystem. They have business streaming platform. And projects can upload their videos and there is no a cash presence in that platform. So something I'm really considering. is that we should at least use it as an extra platform to post a cash on and if we publish a video on a cash YouTube, I don't see why not. We couldn't publish on Netflix TV as well. + +Robert Del Rey: And yeah, it's very engaging also people can give you tips. You can also convert your videos it gives you some other ways to engage with your community. So just dropping out the idea. It's not something like I'm serious seriously considering but something that It wouldn't require the X-ray for honestly, so that's why I'm sharing it And Yeah, the next working group called then it's gonna be on next month September the Third. + + +### 00:20:00 + +Robert Del Rey: and yeah, we already guys in the meantime. We have the cash YouTube this course Channel. And feel free to drop your questions or comments in there, too. Now I could see a question in the shed. Do you have a link to their hash style sheet I can try to make the tireless screen on camera if you want. Thank you so much for approaching b s i can well. + +Robert Del Rey: the guidelines I don't have the guidelines. We will need to talk with Dennis about that but I can send you the brand assets so you can get started doing some drop if you want to I have done some myself so I could share them with you so you can have an idea and I'm using the last designs as a guide. Let me give you a visual example. For example, I did one thumbnail and I got inspired by this. Brand design. These are for example if you see the last videos of a cache. the thumbnails I try to do I want to be in line with this. So maybe if you want to do something. + +Robert Del Rey: It can be something similar to this and then you can share it in the cash Discord Channel in the next call and we go from there. or maybe we could take this to the design working group called tomorrow. I don't know. It's your choice. I'll be there tomorrow as well. So. Yeah. that could be a good place to get a started. + +Robert Del Rey: Thanks for stepping up All So guys anything else you want to touch on before we leave these two experience? + +Robert Del Rey: If not, that's I will tell you my promises for the next two weeks. I will join the design working group called tomorrow to follow up on these designs. As soon as I have the designs. I will go ahead then and upload the steering Community calls the YouTube channel. A Tyler. Let me ask you my man, and you don't have to jump in if you don't want to maybe you can write the message. But besides the steering committee calls are there other call recordings you would like to upload Cash YouTube. + +Tyler Wright: I think that's a group decision. Eventually. I've thought about maybe all of them but I feel like that might get too cluttered. Maybe we just start with the steering committee and then we can make sure that it links to the community repo and go from there. But if anybody here thinks that we should be adding other more specific cigs, like sick providers get a lot of traction a lot of those things get a lot of traction so we could talk about it here for But steering committee. I thought was a great starting point because it's like a culmination of everything that goes on. + +Robert Del Rey: Thanks Tyler, and I Agree, we can. Start with that one and go from there. So yeah, let's do that. + +Robert Del Rey: All right, guys, let's talk into weeks the recording for this should be available soon. In the comments for these calls should be on Discord as well. I'm inviting you again to get involved in the conversation in their Cash YouTube. And again my DMs are open and see you sing in two weeks guys if not sooner. with that being said have a nice weekend and see you in the mirrors. All right. + +Robert Del Rey: my pleasure by + +oo o: You give them? + + +### Meeting ended after 00:24:49 👋 + From baf157372cd4ab4c5e783088e0d9102f247f2df1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Appiah <48031636+iamGeorgePro@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2024 01:42:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 7/7] Create meeting notes for wg-youtube #4 (#706) * Create meeting notes for wg-youtube #4 Signed-off-by: George Appiah <48031636+iamGeorgePro@users.noreply.github.com> * Update 004-2024-08-16.md added transcript CHORE: add recording link Signed-off-by: Drinkwater * Update 004-2024-08-16.md added recording link Signed-off-by: Drinkwater --------- Signed-off-by: George Appiah <48031636+iamGeorgePro@users.noreply.github.com> Signed-off-by: Drinkwater Co-authored-by: Drinkwater --- wg-Akash-youtube/meetings/004-2024-08-16.md | 317 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 317 insertions(+) create mode 100644 wg-Akash-youtube/meetings/004-2024-08-16.md diff --git a/wg-Akash-youtube/meetings/004-2024-08-16.md b/wg-Akash-youtube/meetings/004-2024-08-16.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c215e65f --- /dev/null +++ b/wg-Akash-youtube/meetings/004-2024-08-16.md @@ -0,0 +1,317 @@ +# Akash Network - Akash Youtube Working Group (WG) - Meeting #4 + +## Agenda +- Recap of the previous week's topics. +- Presentation of YouTube shorts by Robert Del Rey. +- Discussion on YouTube content strategy, including disclaimers and playlist organization. +- Steering committee meeting videos: uploading, editing, and standardizing formats. +- Ideas and suggestions for the Akash YouTube channel content and engagement. +- Open feedback on YouTube shorts. + +## Meeting Details +- Date: Tuesday, August 13, 2024 +- Time: 08:00 AM PT (Pacific Time) +- [Recording](https://2s3tsd4sgje2eejd73cobhnxqvxg3hbgakrz6arg5dxocbhzrcia.arweave.net/1Lc5D5IySaIRI_7E4J23hW5tnCYCo58CJuju4QT5iJA) +- [Transcript](#transcript) + +## Participants +- Robert Del Rey +- Tyler Wright +- Rodri R +- oo o + +## Meeting Notes + +- **Recap of Last Week’s Topics**: + - Robert Del Rey received admin access to the Akash YouTube channel. + - There was discussion on needing graphic assets such as thumbnails and opening/closing cards. + - Video descriptions were updated to include timestamps, links to Akash Network’s social media, Akash Console link, and disclaimers.

Happy Tuesday. And welcome to this. Addition of the Akash YouTube working group, I believe this is the support call so far. + +Robert Del Rey: within making process planning brainstorming and forming this effort to rebound the Akash YouTube channel. So I like to start. By recapping the topics from last week. and then we can move on to the topics from this week this week I have + +Robert Del Rey: a sample presentation for you I made some shorts and I will share my screen to share those shorts with you so you can let me know what you think about them. + +Robert Del Rey: So before doing that last week, we confirm I got the admin access to the cash YouTube channel. We also briefly spoke about the graphic assets that we will need. to complement the videos some of those assets include thumbnails and opening and closing cards for the videos. + +Robert Del Rey: I didn't spoke with Dennis this week. So hopefully we would get an update on that soon. Moving on with the descriptions and tiles for the videos last week. We showed case. how the new description format will look we spoke about the description adding timestamps. Having the links to the different Akash Network social media channels. And also we added links to existing content along with discussing a disclaimer. + +Robert Del Rey: We can agree that having a not Financial advice disclaimer would give maybe the running impression, but we did agree on having a disclaimer on education beta for example, if we have a tool that we're presenting in a video and it's on better. We agreed that it would make sense to have a disclaimer saying hey this tool is even better. It might have errors at their own risk. Or if it's an educational video having a disclaimer saying that this information is for educational purposes. something along those lines what we added new to the description was the cash dot console link. + +Robert Del Rey: To make sure all the description can have that link and people have a quick access to the cash console. Which is the flagship tool let's say for my cash Network. So yeah, the study if you want to see the description entitles documents, you can find it in the Channel plan document I will send both links right now as I always do. + +Robert Del Rey: Next to that we went over the YouTube video playlist and the sections we discussed on ideas about the different topics. in the playlist We mainly spoke about deployments and tutorials. Also about other kinds of videos like Akash events participation. And yet cash community. For example the steering committee call. + +Robert Del Rey: We added a feature videos playlist with some of the highest view count videos about a cash. And we also spoke about the possibility of adding feature from trusted community members inside the cash YouTube channel + +Robert Del Rey: Lastly we also added the short section. We're going to talk about the YouTube shorts in a moment. at the moment, we don't have any shorts, but we do consider them as part of the content strategy that we are planning for a cash in the next coming months. So yeah, those were mainly the topics from last week. I want to stop for a brief second to hear if everybody has thoughts from last week, which they want to share now. Otherwise move on to the next topic. So I will give you a few seconds to think about the topics from last week. + + +### 00:05:00 + +Tyler Wright: Heads down with some other Sig design stuff and some console stuff. So I think you'll have some time to dedicate to the class YouTube channel later this week. in terms of I guess deliverables as we talk about last week, I would love to figure out to maybe we can get some additional support from somebody here, but I would love to start to maybe get + +Tyler Wright: the steering committee meetings on the YouTube channel of the playlist just so we can start to tease alright, there's a lot of work that's starting to get done around the YouTube channel to look out for here's how to access the steering committee a little easier to decide just to GitHub and look out for, get If you want to get involved in helping out the YouTube channel, just like a call to action that we can do on the marketing front so I would love to start to see some of things. We talked about turning to deliverables and I just want to see if anybody here has any time or bandwidth. I know Robert's working on some things as well. But I'm excited to see what's going on this week in the short side and what elsewhere so + +Robert Del Rey: Things where they had supplies, Go ahead. please. + +oo o: Yeah, a Tyler. I think you asking if anybody's will help us in. + +Tyler Wright: Sorry, yeah, I was on Yes. Yeah, I mean not really asking just talking about it. I know Robert has been leading this group. But again just like any of these six and working groups, anybody's open to participate, sometimes I participate as an overclock Labs member and we'll get some work done same with Dennis and others but if there's anybody else from the community that wants to participate whether it's just helping to write descriptions. Maybe it's a doc that didn't then it's copied over or helping, add specific steering committees, or we have a entire cost Community groups drive that's available to people in the community. And again just adding all the steering committee videos as an example with some content and maybe a link to the GitHub or a link to console whatever we agree upon us a group. + +Tyler Wright: I think we can move into that phase a little bit while we're also ideating on some things. I think for me and Robert correct me from wrong, but the goal is really to have. A number of efforts going on at the same time as we look to continue to manage and grow the YouTube channel. + +Robert Del Rey: Of course. Thank you so much We also have the cash YouTube working group open on Discord. So in case you don't have time to catch up the whole life. We can always resume the conversation and that these core Channel. Let me quickly ask you Tyler. I do have the link to the three Comedy Calls. so a few questions Would you like to upload all the files available there? I believe there are over 20 call recordings. Or if you prefer to have calls from a specific date until today. to be added + +Tyler Wright: And I think I would love to add all of them, you… + +Robert Del Rey: Okay. + +Tyler Wright: all of them historically with the same sort of naming convention. So Akash steering committee monthly meeting with the specific date, and then from there. We could figure out fine-tuning the descriptions or whatever, but I would love to at least start having them available there just as another reference point. They're always will live on are for whatever tool we end up using so that they have some web free home, but for easier access, I would like to make a playlist around them and then again kind of Market that playlist. + +Robert Del Rey: All right, let's do that. And the other quick question is. Do you want any kind of editing going on to those videos or do you prefer just to have the whole full call uploaded as it is in the recording? + +Tyler Wright: The only thing that I would want to do is potentially add an intro and an outro a short five seconds, branded a costume and then have a uniform thumbnail, but I don't want to spend too much time and energy editing those videos to be honest. I think there's could be better use of time and effort. But again,… + + +### 00:10:00 + +Robert Del Rey: it's quite a lot. + +Tyler Wright: I would like to add if that's very easy. I would love to add a little short intro to each so that they at least look the same when you start, has the date the steering committee, maybe a General screen maybe who's on the steering committee? And then it just pops into the meeting from there? + +Robert Del Rey: Great, German we got it. + +Robert Del Rey: They can work on that this week. + +Robert Del Rey: one second guys + +Rodri R: No worries. + +Robert Del Rey: Hey rodri evidence didn't see you. Thanks for coming in. + +Robert Del Rey: So for next week, we should have the seating Community calls live into the community video playlist + +Robert Del Rey: we have to pay special attention for an intro screen. with a brief overview of the call and then we can start out the description and other kinds of elements of the video. One thing that can be done is that the videos can be uploaded? And they can be uploaded as unlisted so that way they will be on YouTube but people won't be able to find them onto we're ready to publish so. That's something that can be done in the meantime. + +Robert Del Rey: thank you so much today. let's go for the short samples. + +Robert Del Rey: Let me open this up. Usually when I share my screen. people cannot hear the audio from my end. So let's do a little test. I will take over your screen sharing now if you don't mind. + +Tyler Wright: Not at all. + +Robert Del Rey: All right, we have infinity mirror over there. I will playlist. Let me know if you can hear this video. + +Tyler Wright: I still see a number of infinity screen. you're playing it. No, I can't hear the audio. That's just me. + +Rodri R: me neither + +Robert Del Rey: Okay, okay. What? + +oo o: they recognize + +Robert Del Rey: I messed up sharing now. + +Robert Del Rey: Never been able to sort this out. It's because of the headsets. + +Robert Del Rey: mmm + +Robert Del Rey: When you shared your screen tight, you don't have to press on any other setting you just share the screen and you share the audio as well or is that a separate option? + +Tyler Wright: Sorry When I go to the share screen area and also says also share tab audio. And on the bottom that has a dongle that I can turn off and on. + +Robert Del Rey: Yeah, I can see it. Thank you so much, man. Yeah. + +Robert Del Rey: Okay, it says to share audio share at that instead. Okay, so I need to share that. + +Robert Del Rey: Wow, will this be possible? Let's see. Let me open up the period. + +Robert Del Rey: So these are three shorts together in one single video. + +Robert Del Rey: so that they have Some difference in a style also. The music for each is different which are with you. Hopefully you can hear it as well and through the share your feedbacks or let me know if this is something that you would like to have India cash Channel. We share. let's hear Eros here. You see the screen right? You see Greg and kubernetes. right + + +### 00:15:00 + +Tyler Wright: Yes. + +Robert Del Rey: right Let me know if you can hear it. one second + +Robert Del Rey: Can you hear it? + +Rodri R: let me + +Robert Del Rey: + +Tyler Wright: Not me either. + +oo o: Not me either. + +Robert Del Rey: That's okay That's okay. I'm gonna be right back. + +Robert Del Rey: We're gonna try again in a few seconds. Let's see. + +Rodri R: If I'm not wrong, I think you're using OBS to share or just go Google here. + +Robert Del Rey: I'm using just Google right now. + +Rodri R: Okay, then now because when he started sharing your screen, we saw a mirror stuff. I thought you were using Obi. not sure at all. + +Robert Del Rey: That was because of the Google meet. I'm trying something else right now. Let's see. + +Robert Del Rey: We're gonna + +Robert Del Rey: I'm just uploading in YouTube. It's gonna be unlisted so nobody will be able to see it. Maybe that way I can share that sound with you. + +Robert Del Rey: So yeah. Yes. Wait, just one minute. + +Robert Del Rey: 30 seconds left. All right. That's got the high speed internet. + +Robert Del Rey: Do you remember the days when we used to have dialogue? And you need to disconnect if somebody was going to make a phone call in the house. + +Robert Del Rey: We were all this. + +Rodri R: Remember that yeah. + +oo o: That's my current. + +Robert Del Rey: These kids today. + +oo o: That's correct my TV ringtone. + +Robert Del Rey: Yeah, today's have no idea and we had it before. + +Robert Del Rey: All right. + +Robert Del Rey: Okay. + +Robert Del Rey: I have to be there right now on YouTube. It's only listed so nobody else will be. + +Robert Del Rey: Great, I believe this is gonna work. Thanks for bearing with me guys. I will share the screen again right now. and also share that how you + +Robert Del Rey: let's go you see Greg, right? + +Robert Del Rey: you will hear Greg hopefully, okay, so I think + +Robert Del Rey's Presentation: look like again right after kubernetes found it kubernetes was launched in 2014. We were so fascinated by the technology. We wanted to make kubernetes a more production ready and fall tolerant and some of the origins things haven't changed the vision remain tag only the product and it came along quite a lot. We began the company in 2015 to make high performance Computing a possibility kubernetes had the foundational air and during the course of a development. We wrote quite a lot of code. In fact, there's a video here 2015 I talk to Akash the first black coaches written about nine years ago. + +Robert Del Rey: that was the first one. Doing a few seconds. The other one is going to start. They compiled it together. + +Robert Del Rey: I hope + +Robert Del Rey's Presentation: But more for the library these reports and… + +Robert Del Rey: okay Okay, here is it? + +Robert Del Rey's Presentation: delete these reports. + +Robert Del Rey's Presentation: But delete these reports in a network break our clothes that we wrote are deeply embedded in the kubernetes ecosystem at this point. I can see here as ranked number four for the libraries. We've written for a cash. I mean right in between Google and Mozilla and only human being on the list. I rank number 13 across the globe and the libraries are now used by funeral companies that you probably heard of these are the original Cash Source Code now, excuse me, Nvidia EMS, hash course, in fact media use, the cash libraries their Community drivers or network that uses kubernetes and Nvidia gpus effectively is a cautious source code. + + +### 00:20:00 + +Robert Del Rey: That's the second one like that one. In the fair one. here is just + +Robert Del Rey's Presentation: we found a coach originally when we found Akash, we didn't go down there decentralized. In fact, it was very centralized but a challenge with some class control plan. Is this fall tolerance, So when you have large clusters talk to a single control plane the chances of the control pain breaking down or causing Deadlocks is a combination if we quickly realize that you cannot scale to any level of high performance using a centralized control plane. The only way to massively scale is go back to the roots how internet was founded a decentralized network where instead of a single control plane can have a decent last control plane. There's no dependency on a single one of you + +Robert Del Rey: And there you go. That was it guys. So now it's the time any thoughts feedbacks. How do you feel about these shorts? + +Robert Del Rey: Absolutely. + +Robert Del Rey: This is the only listed link so people won't be able to find. the video on their own only with this link there will be able to see the videos just so + +Robert Del Rey: And I share it private. So yeah. + +Robert Del Rey: This one came from the first talk of the Akash accelerate. And yeah, it was really fun. I do agree with you that since shorts hard super shorts. maybe the best way to use these tool is by sharing these core values about a cash like this and presentation. As Craig was talking. And also a specific features the kubernetes stuff this one about the source code of a cash being used in all of these companies. + +Robert Del Rey: I believe that is a good piece of information that people can quickly cash right after they watch a quick 30 second shorts. That's why I believe these are so powerful. The long-form video are key. Honestly. It's proven on YouTube people look for long form content. But shorts they also have this space and I believe we can combine those two elements and come up with something really really nice for a cashew. So yeah, any other feedback maybe there's subtitles were a little big or maybe the animation was a little faster looking at it today with fresh ice. I can see they are a bit faster animations. It might be hard to read but I can go back to the editing tool and make sure that looks better for next time. + +Robert Del Rey: And also make sure the volume it's a little lower so we can hear Greg's. For editing I used to Adobe Premiere Pro. I've been using Adobe for almost two years now. I started with filmora. Being And then migrated to Adobe. I also use these AI tools that you hear lately. + +Robert Del Rey: These tools you can just upload the video and they basically edit the short video for you. I'll use a bunch of those six or seven. But at the moment, I believe they are not ready to do the job. for example, I'm the kind of person that I have to sit down and do this the best that I can do it right for me. This is not only content. it's valuable content for their cash Community, but it's also part of my work. That's why I like to take my timing doing this when I use the AI for example, that's a famous One. Sounding a lot recently. There are very limited in a sense that once the video is edited. You have not many options to + + +### 00:25:00 + +Robert Del Rey: edit or to do a quick fix for example, usually these tools deliver the short and that is what you get. If that makes sense. So Premiere Pro has a built in vocal docking Fisher Boys. yes. I know about talking. I didn't use docking in this one. I just lower down the volume. But yeah, I believe talking might be more appropriate in this case just to give a little context talking basically if I'm talking la la when I've stopped talking the music automatically raise the volume and when I start talking again, the music automatically lowers the volume. That's the docking feature in Premiere. I don't want b s I will try it out for the outcome short. + +Robert Del Rey: Any other comments guys love all I did have a comment. I used to do shorts for two other companies one was blockstream. It's a big Bitcoin custodial. And the other one was Django exchange, you might not heard from her cosmos videos. and in the end of the short videos, we would add a closing screen with their so let's say Greg was talking la la and guard In the short answer it would transition to a closing screen. Let's say in a cash logo. The music volume goes up and that is a good closing for the shorts videos. That way they just don't stop so abruptly at the end. + +Robert Del Rey: And yeah, I like the touch of that. So that is something to consider. Maybe once we have the graphic assets we can play around more with that and try out if we want to have maybe the long form videos can have an intro and outro card and maybe the shorts can have an outro card. Just to make sure people. live with their cash run in their minds as soon as they finish watching our content. yeah. That's what I have for today. Honestly. I was so eager to show you this. I'm really happy that you like the initial idea. This is far from the final product. + +Robert Del Rey: That's why I like to Rocked round and once I get the feedback, then I sit down and fine-tune the shore to make sure it looks as Christina as possible. You will need to forgive me on the quality on the videos because two things this is an horizontal video. So when reframing to make sure it's portrait. It degrades the quality alegro. That's once. if I zoom in the video For example, great I needed to zoom in his talking window. I need to somebody. because of that you can lose a little bit of quality as well. So that is something to consider. For future shorts the quality. + +Robert Del Rey: Something that can be done as I work around. Maybe it's playing around with the movements. I don't know if you notice in the third shorts request was talking like this is our beginning. And the screen transition from him to the roadmap that they wrote a while back. + +Robert Del Rey: We could do more animations of that maybe to hide a little bit the quality of the videos, but other overall, they look good. They are readable. But yeah something to consider they're not going to look like super pristine because of the process behind of refraining and reframing and framing. people in the show So yeah, that's any candidates about these you have any questions guys or anything else you want to bring to the table? + + +### 00:30:00 + +Tyler Wright: The only thing that I would add if I hand it back to Robert is I've noticed so I would ask the people do this when there is conversation that is happening in Discord channels. I noticed this with Sig documentation Nate or others will leave comments and talk about the work that they've done in the Discord Channel. It gets other people that are just looking around to get more involved. So while I appreciate people dming each other and dming I think that's fine for specific things. I would love for people to start to talk to each other more in public channels because I think that gets other community members excited and activated. So just putting that out. + +Robert Del Rey: Thanks Simon. Yeah, I agree. Absolutely. The public way is the best way and like you say you put it perfectly usually people are just lurking around through the servers but they join a shot and they can see a sequence of messages and they can get a feel about how this channel is working or how the channel is going and that can motivate them to get involved. where you find a channel that is empty that is that silent. You can have to be opposite effect. That's the fastest way to get a people out of the community when they close to a few channels and they don't find any activity in the shots. It doesn't matter how look the GitHub looks or how many private messages we have. + +Robert Del Rey: If you go to a public Channel and this channel is silent. Yeah, the effect is gonna be something like This project is that I'm gonna get out of here and they will go ahead and find the next thing. So I really thought you were saying is along those lines die, right? + +Robert Del Rey: But yeah keep the conversation that's how we like it. Thank you so much. So yeah, so for next week, I just a little recap I will. + +Robert Del Rey: Dennis is working in other kinds of stuff. I will try to follow up with him to maybe get at least A sample nothing official but something to work on. and for next week I can have It's gonna depend on my internet, but I'm really confident that next week. I can have all the steering Community calls uploaded in the playlist. + +Robert Del Rey: And yeah, From shorts I will go ahead and use your feedbacks. I will fix these three improve the sound improve the quality of the subtitles and the animations maybe try to use more icons that helps to keep the lowest attention span and I will divide them right and Export them as individual videos just of the sakes perhap them ready in case you want to publish them soon another day. But yeah, those are the two things I will work on for this freaking deliver on the next working group call which is gonna happen next Tuesday. If I'm not mistake next to stay the 20th. Wow. I guess it's flying in my opinion. + +Robert Del Rey: But that's what I have for today guys. Thank you for the recording. and if anybody have any other questions feedbacks, feel free to drop them now in the next few seconds. Otherwise the cash YouTube channel. It's always okay 24/7. So feel free to go there and share your ideas. Thank you again b s Oakley rodri for taking the time to going these calls and yeah, let's do this guys. Let's do this. you see you in the miraburs. See you in the servers. + +oo o: live long and prosper + + +### 00:35:00 + +Robert Del Rey: Live long and… + +Rodri R: specifically + +Robert Del Rey: All right. + + +### Meeting ended after 00:35:16 👋
