Oxfam mentions Sote Hub as one of the inspirational approaches to rural startup hubs for their new program "Empower Youth for Work” they just launched in four countries - Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Ethiopia. They mentioned our ideas:
1. Increase sustainability through selling services;
2. Cooperate with local government and donors through Memorandums of Understanding;
3. Help teams of young entrepreneurs to gain skills and prepare them for bigger investors;
4. Let students solve local problems or test new products;
5. Organize annual trade fairs and pitching competitions where young people can pitch to businessmen, local government and investors but don't have just NGO people in the jury;
6.Organize flexible peer-to-peer learning groups and tailor-made services for young people and girl groups;
7. Organize skype calls with outsiders and students abroad to open up minds and share expertise.
Objectives are notions about future desired conditions and are usually embedded in a set of ideas organizations have about their plight and what can be done about it.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration.

33. YouChange is a social innovation support platform.
We are in the midst of a huge historical changes .Unlike in the past,Modern
humans have a special liking to innovation rather than revolution,this is the
new progress of human.
Innovation in essence is different from the old , It is a win-win approach,
through the means of value creation and mode change to solve social
problem,rather than using the method of zero-sum, value destroy and the
interests of the reorganization.
Instead of the confrontational, static,and closed ways, We want to use
integrational,dynamic and open eyes to look at new charity.
