1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,000
Now for something completely different. Frank is in Raleigh speaking at

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,540
OpenShift Commons gathering. In this livestream,

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:11,385
we see Frank dressed in his dapper suit and his streaming

4
00:00:11,385 --> 00:00:14,744
skills put to the test. Frank has quite the

5
00:00:14,744 --> 00:00:18,570
agenda with a demo to deliver, a panel to moderate, and a

6
00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:21,230
sneaky plan to snag some unsuspecting interviewees.

7
00:00:22,570 --> 00:00:24,430
We're certainly in for a treat.

8
00:00:29,105 --> 00:00:32,865
Hello. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening.

9
00:00:32,865 --> 00:00:36,239
Depending on where where you are on the planet. My name

10
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:39,920
is Frank Lavinia. And before the

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,280
captions, which I can't seem to there we

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,664
go. My name is Frank Lavinia,

13
00:00:46,805 --> 00:00:50,425
and I am streaming live,

14
00:00:51,285 --> 00:00:54,820
from OpenShift Commons in Raleigh. We

15
00:00:54,820 --> 00:00:58,660
haven't started yet. Beautiful venue at

16
00:00:58,660 --> 00:01:02,324
Raleigh. About a block Block and a half from the Red

17
00:01:02,324 --> 00:01:06,025
Hat headquarters. They call it the tower, because it's a

18
00:01:06,165 --> 00:01:09,950
tall office building. And, Raleigh's a cool city with a

19
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:12,450
cool little downtown, and

20
00:01:13,630 --> 00:01:17,395
you see kind of the Little city market

21
00:01:17,395 --> 00:01:21,075
type thing going on. This apparently used to be a big, little,

22
00:01:21,395 --> 00:01:24,915
big, little, market hall. Now it's an

23
00:01:24,915 --> 00:01:28,360
event space. And, as I walk through

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,260
here, you can kind of appreciate the architecture.

25
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,615
So This is my 1st OpenShift commons

26
00:01:35,615 --> 00:01:39,375
gathering. Relatively speaking, I'm kinda new

27
00:01:39,375 --> 00:01:42,354
to the, open source community.

28
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:48,120
And, yeah, I'm really looking forward to this.

29
00:01:48,980 --> 00:01:52,604
First one, I'm actually gonna be 1st, delivering a demo

30
00:01:52,825 --> 00:01:56,585
and then moderating a panel, and then maybe I can sneak away

31
00:01:56,585 --> 00:01:59,804
and get some people to kinda talk on, on camera.

32
00:02:00,590 --> 00:02:04,130
And then if, there's the nice,

33
00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:08,270
registration booth. I think it's gonna start up in, like, half an

34
00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:11,665
hour. And, here's kind of

35
00:02:11,665 --> 00:02:14,085
the the main park in Raleigh.

36
00:02:15,425 --> 00:02:16,885
Oh, there's an IMAX there.

37
00:02:19,689 --> 00:02:23,209
And there's a children's museum and stuff. One of these days, they come back down

38
00:02:23,209 --> 00:02:26,915
with the kids. Every time I've been to Raleigh, it's for work. Actually,

39
00:02:27,075 --> 00:02:30,435
Two times it's been for Holly. This

40
00:02:30,435 --> 00:02:33,334
time this time, I,

41
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:38,760
I drove down, because last time I was here, I guess, like, a JFK

42
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,444
for, like, 8 hours. And JFK

43
00:02:42,584 --> 00:02:46,125
Airport is not my favorite airport at all. Just I'll just drop that there.

44
00:02:47,944 --> 00:02:51,470
And it's actually a 5 hour drive. 4 and a half, 5 hour drive,

45
00:02:51,790 --> 00:02:55,630
from from where I live. So I was like, you know what? Plus,

46
00:02:55,630 --> 00:02:58,974
I had a lot of, a lot of craziness. A lot of commitments going on

47
00:02:58,974 --> 00:03:00,834
in, in Chateau, Lavinia.

48
00:03:03,215 --> 00:03:06,200
But, Yeah. It's it's been good.

49
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:11,300
We're basically doing kind of planning meetings. Got to meet a lot of people in

50
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:15,015
person, that I have only seen online. So

51
00:03:15,015 --> 00:03:17,915
that's always good. I'm gonna catch up with my manager today.

52
00:03:18,855 --> 00:03:21,675
So I'm gonna be, like I said, monitoring a panel

53
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,120
On AI open source. And I think it's really you

54
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,900
know, most people who follow me here,

55
00:03:30,295 --> 00:03:34,135
are probably in the strongly in the Microsoft ecosystem. And a lot

56
00:03:34,135 --> 00:03:37,310
of people, they say, Frank, what happened to you? You're not You got a lot

57
00:03:37,310 --> 00:03:40,430
of Microsoft centric stuff anymore. And I said that's not true. You just don't see

58
00:03:40,430 --> 00:03:43,410
it. I am still a Microsoft AI MVP.

59
00:03:44,725 --> 00:03:48,405
I have access to a lot of the cool toys, I presented at a

60
00:03:48,405 --> 00:03:52,185
community event in Ruston, with the OpenAI, day,

61
00:03:53,090 --> 00:03:56,390
back in August. Some silver and plug in to that community.

62
00:03:56,850 --> 00:03:59,270
It's just that open source,

63
00:04:03,025 --> 00:04:06,785
AI is open source dominates the AI. Right? If you look at

64
00:04:06,785 --> 00:04:10,305
it all up, by and large, it is primarily an open

65
00:04:10,305 --> 00:04:14,130
source story. And I apologize for the camera shaking, but

66
00:04:14,130 --> 00:04:17,970
I couldn't, didn't have time to practice with

67
00:04:17,970 --> 00:04:21,204
my stable self stabilizing, selfie stick.

68
00:04:21,764 --> 00:04:24,025
So I figured I'd just do it the old fashioned way.

69
00:04:26,965 --> 00:04:30,810
But open source is really dominating this field. And I

70
00:04:30,810 --> 00:04:34,650
think that's by and large a good thing. It's not a great thing. And

71
00:04:34,650 --> 00:04:38,270
part of that is is just the transparency, the openness,

72
00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:42,425
and the, community driven

73
00:04:42,425 --> 00:04:46,105
nature of it is, 1, not only is the power of innovation, but I

74
00:04:46,105 --> 00:04:49,625
think it also engenders a lot more trust in, say, a closed source

75
00:04:49,625 --> 00:04:53,450
system. Elon Musk is, clearly has more money than

76
00:04:53,450 --> 00:04:56,890
me. Arguably, he might have better sense of humor than

77
00:04:56,890 --> 00:05:00,395
me, But he has commented on how OpenAI

78
00:05:01,255 --> 00:05:05,095
isn't, was a nonprofit that was dedicated to openness. And now

79
00:05:05,095 --> 00:05:08,790
it's really neither. Now whatever you think of him,

80
00:05:09,090 --> 00:05:12,850
you know, that doesn't change the fact that there's a kernel of truth

81
00:05:12,850 --> 00:05:16,625
there. And when I say kernel, right, when I when I first

82
00:05:16,625 --> 00:05:20,465
joined Red Hat, a lot of my former Microsoft colleagues, they were like, why are

83
00:05:20,465 --> 00:05:23,745
you leaving? What you were doing? Writing a little phone code? No. No. No. No.

84
00:05:23,745 --> 00:05:27,530
No. No. No. I'm still working on AI. They I think some of

85
00:05:27,530 --> 00:05:29,710
them actually wanted to schedule an intervention.

86
00:05:32,170 --> 00:05:35,775
To make sure hey. I got my first comment. And this is the part where

87
00:05:35,775 --> 00:05:39,295
I don't need my glasses. And it's my brother from another

88
00:05:39,295 --> 00:05:41,395
mother. Am I causing trouble?

89
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:48,009
Not yet. Still kinda early. Go for the bow tie.

90
00:05:48,710 --> 00:05:52,455
Yeah. An epic breakdown. Yeah. I

91
00:05:52,455 --> 00:05:56,215
might I might, I might go for the bow tie next time. So I think

92
00:05:56,215 --> 00:05:59,910
that the joke is that whenever there's a panel on, like, In

93
00:05:59,910 --> 00:06:02,810
DC or C SPAN if you don't live in DC.

94
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:07,910
The the the one with the bow tie is always the troublemaker and sometimes that's

95
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:10,255
the moderator. I think they're chosen on purpose. So

96
00:06:11,695 --> 00:06:15,535
I'm not sure if it's a compliment. Yeah. I've been chosen to moderate

97
00:06:15,535 --> 00:06:19,220
a panel. But I'll be doing a demo Oh, and,

98
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,620
you know, basically kinda how this, how OpenShift AI works.

99
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,535
And, Oh, yeah. My car's in trouble. That's awesome. Go

100
00:06:28,535 --> 00:06:31,975
for the bow tie. Yeah. I think I shall. I think I

101
00:06:31,975 --> 00:06:35,690
shall. Given that this is, I didn't wanna

102
00:06:35,690 --> 00:06:39,450
go too far out, so I have, like, a little suit, going

103
00:06:39,450 --> 00:06:43,265
on. That's not a little. But, Yeah. So I'm

104
00:06:43,265 --> 00:06:46,225
I'm really looking forward to this. Looks like if the weather holds, there'll be some

105
00:06:46,225 --> 00:06:50,040
outdoor dining, outdoor catering stuff. Really pretty space.

106
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,800
Really pretty event space. Raleigh is a cool

107
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,460
little town. And,

108
00:06:58,544 --> 00:07:01,205
Frank, I didn't just buy a house last year.

109
00:07:02,544 --> 00:07:06,200
You just moved to it. But I just bought a house last year, so

110
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,240
That option, kids, is on the table. Because I don't wanna put my

111
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,854
kids through it. Like, I don't let the school transition and stuff like that. So

112
00:07:14,995 --> 00:07:17,175
but it's a cool little place. It's a cool place.

113
00:07:18,675 --> 00:07:22,275
Alright. So we wanna go back in. I'm gonna turn down the volume of my

114
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:25,819
voice a bit. And,

115
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,379
there we go. There's the whole event.

116
00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:35,035
And, So if you're in the wrong area,

117
00:07:35,035 --> 00:07:37,695
stop by. I think it's happening tomorrow. They're doing workshops.

118
00:07:38,475 --> 00:07:40,975
And, today

119
00:07:42,310 --> 00:07:46,150
Is the presentation part of it. So with that, I'm gonna

120
00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:49,050
grab myself a cup of coffee, and,

121
00:07:53,085 --> 00:07:56,765
check it out. And I have to say, I saw this

122
00:07:56,765 --> 00:08:00,590
online the other day where, like, the best track of any is the hall

123
00:08:00,650 --> 00:08:04,010
track. Right? All the conversations you hear in the hallway. I love he picked it

124
00:08:04,010 --> 00:08:07,615
up, but I heard a guy kinda talking about his opinion on, public cloud

125
00:08:07,615 --> 00:08:11,294
versus private cloud. Very interesting. So I'm looking forward to

126
00:08:11,294 --> 00:08:15,074
see what they're gonna discuss today. And,

127
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,060
We'll see the stage.

128
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,420
And if you're in Raleigh, you're wrong, it's not

129
00:08:24,975 --> 00:08:28,575
I believe we've got a session to sleep. And, come on. Check it

130
00:08:28,575 --> 00:08:31,715
out. I'm gonna get myself a cup of coffee and be ready for the show.

131
00:08:31,775 --> 00:08:32,914
Thanks. And you
