Weather is made up of different elements like temperature, precipitation, wind and more that can vary from day to day. Climate describes the average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time, usually 30 years. Some key aspects of weather include temperature, which is a measurement of how hot or cold something is, and humidity, which refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. Weather is caused by differences in air pressure and temperature between locations due to factors like the sun and Earth's rotation. Forecasting models are used to predict future weather conditions based on current data and understanding of atmospheric processes.
This document provides information about an Operations Management course taught by Professor Prakash Mathure. The 3 credit course is part of a post-graduate diploma program for working professionals from 2012-2014. The course description outlines the topics to be covered including operations strategy, forecasting, facility location, inventory management, and case study presentations by students. Professor Mathure's expectations for preparation and participation are also summarized.
openSUSE Summit-15 Years of Open Source: It's About the PeopleRussell Pavlicek
Open Source has flourished in the past decade and a half, but we need to make sure we don't lose our soul in the process. We must tend to the roots of the plant and not allow the corporate influence to compromise the liberation which Open Source provided to geeks.
CPOSC 2013: 15 Years of Open Source - It's About the PeopleRussell Pavlicek
Russell Pavlicek has been involved in open source since 1995. In this talk, he reflects on how open source has changed in the past 15 years as it has grown from a grassroots movement to a mainstream part of the software industry. He worries that as open source becomes more commercialized and many people are paid to work on it, the passion and spirit that drove the early movement may be lost. He urges open source advocates, especially those who have been in the community for a long time, to teach others about open source's history and values to ensure its roots and heart remain strong.

Geek Empowerment - The Real Heart of Open SourceRussell Pavlicek
As delivered at Linuxfest Northwest 2014. Open Source has succeeded in so many ways. But is it in danger of losing its greatest single value: empowering geeks to be more than just obedient coders?
OSAC16: Unikernel-powered Transient Microservices: Changing the Face of Softw...Russell Pavlicek
In most current microservice-based architectures, the machine images powering the microservice are quite traditional: a full software stack from operating system to application, which takes significant resources to host and plenty of time to start and stop. As a result, most current microservice workloads are persistent, having to start before they are needed and sitting idle when there’s no work to do. This wastes precious resources and slows the application’s ability to scale out as workloads require.
The arrival of lightweight technologies like Docker and containers have opened the door to lighter workloads in the microservice arena, but the advent of unikernels might be a game changer. These ultralight, highly secure workloads combine the entire software stack—from operating system functions to application—into a single, tiny package that runs directly on a hypervisor. Start times for many unikernel-based VMs can be measured in milliseconds, raising the question: why waste time and resources with persistent microservices? Why not consider transient microservices, which appear when there is something to do and disappear immediately thereafter?
While the use of transient microservices could free up much computing power, it will also change the architecture and orchestration of software solutions. The concept of services that may have a lifetime measured in seconds—or less—does not currently exist in popular cloud-based systems.
Lessons Learned from Xen (Texas Linux Fest 2013)Russell Pavlicek
The Xen Project faced challenges as it became disconnected from its community and users. It risked being abandoned before its 10th anniversary. However, it was able to turn things around by reconnecting with its ecosystem, focusing on user needs, and regaining momentum in the community. The talk outlines 12 key lessons learned from the Xen Project's experience on the importance of community engagement and responsiveness to competition.
The document discusses techniques for being an influential HR professional. It covers topics like using principles of social influence, such as reciprocity and commitment, to gain cooperation. It also emphasizes the importance of building relationships and liking through techniques like praising others, giving recognition, and finding common ground with employees. The overall message is that HR can influence others in their organization by applying strategies from social psychology research on influence and interpersonal relationships.
Securing Your Cloud with Xen (CloudOpen NA 2013)Russell Pavlicek
Russell Pavlicek presented on securing clouds with Xen Project's advanced security features. He introduced key security tools in Xen Project like driver domains and PVGrub. Driver domains move device drivers out of the privileged control domain into an unprivileged virtual machine, reducing the attack surface. PVGrub is the Python program that reads guest filesystems and boots virtual machines, so securing it is important to prevent control of the control domain. The presentation aimed to help users understand and start implementing Xen Project's security features on their clouds.
