The recent announcement by Tesla Motors that their patents would be released as open source has put the spotlight on open source and open standards within the renewable energy industry. Open source and open standards play a huge role in the computer and Internet industries. Just think of the impact of the open source architecture of the PC and the open communication standard HTML. Google built its business on the open source Apache server and the open source Android operating system. In the solar industry, Tioga Energy released an open source solar power purchase agreement. Could open standards and open source benefit the shared and community solar industry segment?

When you hear the word, retrofitting, many images come to mind. One in particular is the idea of rummaging around your parent’s closet in search of 70s or 80s disco duds and then trying them on... Instead, this is my working definition, if you will.

From the Ontario Trillium Foundation 2009 Professional Development Conference
According to a recent Kellogg Foundation report, if an organization builds a culture that systematically supports innovation, the ideas will come. The key is to be deliberate, open to ideas from anywhere, comfortable with unpredictability, and generous in sharing learnings – all great approaches to building a social infrastructure for youth organizing and engagement in Ontario. Young people are already making significant contributions to their communities, and now is the time to sustain and increase that activity.
In March 2009, OTF partnered with the Laidlaw Foundation and Tides Canada to create the conditions that would allow youth-led and youth-serving organizations to connect with each other, share resources and develop new knowledge and practices. 50 young people from diverse sectors and groups agreed on the need for a coordinated provincial model, but where they go from there is deliberately unplanned. No required changes have been identified up front, and no expected outcomes have been proposed. The only certainty is that a strong foundation is being built for future generations. Work through a fascinating case study on this unique process to find out more about:
- the five stages of intentional innovation;
- thinking big and trusting to “wisdom of crowds”;
- the definition of a social infrastructure; and
- the kind of supports needed by youth to strengthen their work

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Editor's Notes
This speech basciall breaks down into: How OSEA’s history brought us to this historic moment of opportunity What is the opportunity for Community Power and what are the advantages to working with or starting your own CP project The new emergent approach to planning will bring a flourishing of sustainable energy OSEA has many services available
CAN YOU HEAR THAT? That’s the sound of OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING at your door! Up until a few months ago, community wind projects like this one were EXTREMLY difficult to get off the ground. In the course of a year, this has all changed. Much more is now possible.
We’ll soon be seeing many more rooftops cladded with solar panels Home of Mike Brigham of the Toronto Renewable Energy Co-operative (TREC) Passive solar design Phased/modular approach
In fact, we’re already seeing people getting very creative with solar panels and putting them wherever there is good solar exposure. OR GOOD PR EXPOSURE! By-the-way, Paul is a ORIGINALLY from Val-Caron right around here and he installs PV on rooftops of local institutions like community centers, schools and churches. You can find him in the Associate Members section of the OSEA website.
Every day there is more and more news of manufacturers looking to set up shop in Ontario. Municipalities and Chambers of Commerce, Economic Development Corporations are recognizing the huge potential for new jobs. ASIDE: This happens to be a SPANISH turbine and Spain was a country that a decade or two ago was not on the renewable energy map. But they were facing a fuel price crisis that created the political will for them to move towards energy-independence. They’re not there yet, but the moral of this story is that in the process they gained a significant share of the global wind turbine market and created a whole new industry in that country. So 100% renewable may yet be far off, but in the meantime we’re gonna put a lot of people to work! And we can ramp up Not yet produced in Ontario
Farmers are installing biogas digester to sell us power as soon as we need it and to better manage all that crap! WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN Groundwater protection Heating needs Refining the manure faster into high-grade fertilizer On-demand power production complements our intermittent solar and wind resources.
And gentlemen like this one up in HEARST will deliver to your door THE most efficient wood pellet burning furnaces on the market so that your home or business can heat itself renewably!
This time right now is a critical turning point where we’ll either CATCH-UP to and SURPASS the best in the world (GERMANY)
… .OR we can languish with past ways of doing things. This is a photo from right here in Sudbury by a famous Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky. He like to shoot industrial sites and produces images that reveal a sort of beauty amid ecological destruction.
There WAS a time when Ontario was completely powered by renewable electricity. Beck I & II generating station is probably the biggest and best known example
… .but we also built many many smaller plants where it was feasible to do so. Publicly owned
But somewhere the Ontario Hydro-Electric Commission veered of the energy Soft Path and became mesmerized by the false promises of nuclear power. We opened up a Pandora’s box of financial/ecological debt
They also fell prey to the notion that our energy consumption SHOULD and WOULD increase year-after-year requiring more and more plants like this one – the infamous Nanticoke Station – one of Canada’s BIGGEST smog and GHG emitters. Veered onto the hard paths. Look at that PILE of COAL! That used to be the top of a mountain in Tennessee. We need to take RESPONSIBILITY for our energy.
Maybe this mountain top. Talk about NOT IN MY BACKYARD! MY BACKYARD IS A CRATER!!!
RESPONSIBILITY!!!!

Sherry Arnstein
Landowners saw speculation taking place in their community and they decided to form a committee to Evaluate their development and ownership options Understand the legal and technical aspects of wind development. Glen Estill helped this committee understand their options and form realistic expectations around how development would proceed and the risks involved. The committee studies the many issues and created a report for the rest of the community. Of the 3 companies offering landleases to the landowners, the committee considered Preneal’s to be the best deal for landowners and larger community It offered compensation for ALL landowners. Those hosting turbines got a certain percentage of the revenue. Those with land capable of acquiring turbines but ultimately did not receive them got somewhat less. Those within the footprint but without suitable land received the least % of revenues.
… to innovative partnerships between First Nations and renewable energy co-operatives. BACKGROUND NOTES 1. What motivated your community to develop a community owned wind park as opposed to leasing your land to outside wind developers? The decision was based on the fact that the First Nation wanted some control in the actual decision making process regarding the windmill operation. We saw the opportunity to get community input into the development size and operational procedures. 2. What do you hope to achieve for your community through the development of this wind park? An economic development project that will create some employment and eventually generate own source revenue, plus ensuring that we limit the impact on the environment to our natural resources. 3. How would you describe your experiences with the process of developing the wind park so far? Very educational, having no basic knowledge of wind energy it has been very eye opening to see what other sources of power that we can rely on that is safe to the environment. 4. Has this process yielded any unexpected benefits or created any unexpected problems so far? It has created a new awareness in the alternative energy sources, it also raised our communities interest beyond the normal expectations of nuclear power. It has also opened our eyes to the OPA (Ontario Power Authority) and how they control the amount of watts that can make or break a community project of this size.
The Green Energy Act Campaign was launched in June 2008, and in this capacity, OSEA is part of a greater alliance. Here we have the founding members, for more information on who the alliance is, I would invite you to visit greenenergyact.ca
There are still many challenges that we’re working on…
