This document discusses measuring and reporting on community carbon emissions and progress towards reduction goals. It addresses the need to focus data collection on the most useful metrics, improve data frequency and granularity, and ensure communities can easily access and understand the information. It also emphasizes using positive language and visuals when communicating with communities to normalize reduction activities and portray progress as rewarding. Selling the message in a simple, story-based way that avoids complex terms and scales metrics in a meaningful way is important for motivating community action.

Etude PwC/Strategy& sur les fusions-acquisitions dans le secteur de l'énergie...PwC France
http://bit.ly/TransactionsEnergie2015
L'étude « Power & Renewables Deals » comprend une analyse de l’ensemble des transactions mondiales dans les domaines de l’énergie, des énergies renouvelables et des technologies propres. Sont couvertes les transactions portant sur la production d’énergie, son transport et sa distribution ; le transport, la distribution, le stockage et les pipelines de gaz naturel ; la vente au détail d’énergie et le nucléaire. Les transactions portant sur les opérations situées en amont de ces activités, comme l’exploration et la production de gaz, sont en revanche exclues de l’étude. L’analyse des énergies renouvelables englobe pour sa part les biocarburants, la biomasse, la géothermie, l’hydraulique (notamment marin), le solaire et l’éolien. Sont couvertes les transactions portant sur l’acquisition de projets de chantiers ou d’exploitation visant la production d’énergie renouvelable ainsi que des entreprises produisant les équipements destinés au secteur. Les transactions portant sur les technologies propres, enfin, sont celles liées à l’acquisition d’entreprises développant des produits à haute efficacité énergétique destinés aux infrastructures des énergies renouvelables.
Notre analyse se fonde sur les transactions publiées dans la base de données « M&A Global » de Dealogic et portant sur l’ensemble des fusions-acquisitions dans les domaines de l’électricité, du gaz et des énergies renouvelables. Cette base de données englobe les transactions annoncées (celles en attente de clôture financière et juridique) et les opérations terminées. La valeur inscrite est celle de la contrepartie annoncée a priori ou posteriori et tient compte des éventuelles dettes ou autres passifs estimés. Les données de comparaison (années ou trimestres précédents) peuvent présenter des différences avec celles de nos précédentes éditions ou autres publications de l’année en cours en cas de mise à jour des informations ou d’affinements de la méthodologie ayant entraîné des modifications de la base de données.

The Power of Data, the Importance of Moments, and the Future of StorytellingRobert Michael Murray
At this year's INBOUND 2015 conference Robert Michael Murray discussed how data will shape the way we connect with one another, create contextual moments of engagement, and enable us to share the stories of our lives in ways never once imagined. Murray shared learnings from his time leading National Geographic's social media efforts. And tips from his new work leveraging the power of data, design, and technology to create experiences that deliver more meaningful and personalized moments. This work is associated with a new startup his company, Matchfire Co., is launching in the coming weeks: Mently (http://mently.co/).

5 min guide to sustainability: Go green - Save money and the planetAnders Lindgren
Going Green – is it just “greenwashing”? Do organizations prefer to just talk about being green rather than really living green? Let’s be pragmatic. The majority of companies do not embrace Green living primarily for ideal reasons. It has always been about cost savings. In the form of reduced expenditures or efficiency gains. Nothing wrong with that approach. Actually it’s the core idea of sustainable development. Saving money and the environment at the same time.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
