Omaio Science Open Day Opening PresentationKaramea Insley
Here are the technical papers and presentations made by leading New Zealand hydrologists, climate change, broadband network and value chain mapping technologists to landowners and other stakeholders in Omaio New Zealand in June 2018.
Omaio governance and leadership development programKaramea Insley
The Omaio Governance and Leadership Development Program is an intensive 4-month course teaching best practice governance and leadership thinking and teachings delivered by seasoned experts to a growing alumni (around sixty) of exisiting Trustees and emerging Trustees and future leaders. Here are two long term planning case studies on governance and leadership being taught to students.
The New Zealand Government is proposing radical law reforms in respect of communally Indigenous Maori-owned lands. History has shown how similar reforms have disengaged whole Maori communities from their roots, origins and traditions where today Maori collectively own a fraction (five percent) of what we used. The East-coast of the North Island remains one of the few strongholds in the country where there remains very high collective Maori community ownership. Should the changes proposed by the government go wrong, this will have a disproportionate, far reaching, potentially disastrous impact and do irreparable harm to the traditions and culture of the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand. Not One More Acre!
The sustainability challenge presented to New Zealand Indigenous Research Con...Karamea Insley
A Community-led (Maori) Sustainable Development Case Study
How capitalism can be practiced more sustainably while finding the balance between wealth, communities and the environment? The sustainability debate is not whether we should choose between capitalism and some other system, but instead, how to practice capitalism more sustainably that takes a long-term (intergenerational) and holistic orientation, that grows economic wealth while balancing off the interests of people and communities, the environment and, cultural wealth and diversity.
This paper lays out a Maori community sustainable development strategy at Omaio within the tribe of Te Whanau a Apanui in the Eastern Bay of Plenty in New Zealand. The strategy is underpinned by aligned and detailed research and analysis along all the parts of the strategy going forward through partnerships across New Zealand and the world.
Doing Nothing is Not an Option - 10-Year Plan submission to Regional Governme...Karamea Insley
Yesterday we tabled our solutions-based submission with the Bay of Plenty Regional Council's Review Panel pointing the opportunity to create 100's of new local jobs and need for policy to establsih enabling infrastructure around water irrigation, energy and renewable energy, and growing people.
Generation zero, Sustainable development and Maori leadershipKaramea Insley
Yesterday attended and addressed the Generation Zero summit in Wellington (New Zealand). They describe themselves as follows:
"Climate change is the challenge of our generation, and young people are the inheritors of humanity’s response to climate change.
For that reason – Generation Zero, a youth-led organisation, was founded with the central purpose of providing solutions for New Zealand to cut carbon pollution through smarter transport, liveable cities & independence from fossil fuels".
Many of their value drivers align closely to my own personal values and indeed those of Iwi and Maori. Accordingly we agreed to co-ordinate and collaborate together on climate change and sustainable development action.
Sustainable development and Maori Leadership growing wealth for New ZealandKaramea Insley
A paper i presented at the University of Waikato (New Zealand) Winter lecture series where I discuss Leadership and Sustainable development with an emphasis on work I am directly involved in and leading around climate change, sustainable development, innovation and technology and Maori (indigenous) sustainable and community development.
Kaitiakitanga - Community owned and led enterpriseKaramea Insley
A paper I presented yesterday at Canterbury University on Community owned and led Enterprise profiling our kaitiakitanga (sustainable development) project at Omaio in the Eastern Bay of Plenty (New Zealand). Presented at the 2014 international Engineers Without Borders Conference. EWB have become valued partners to our project through especially the 2013 Odyssey Design Challenge and continue to play an important strategic partner role to the project.

A paper presented in Rotorua (New Zealand) to a largely Maori (indigenous) audience on sustainable development in practice with real live case studies to illustrate the core principles and drivers of sustainable development and real life lessons leafed.
Sustainability (kaitiakitanga) and Maori Governance and LeadershipKaramea Insley
A lecture I delivered yesterday to Diploma of Governance and Leadership student from Te Waananga o Awanuiaarangi at Maraenui marae near the mouth of the Motu River.
The Maori economy and Renewable Energy (2014)Karamea Insley
A paper presented at the 2014 New Zealand Wind energy Association conference at Te Papa (Wellington) in new Zealand.
Of Te Whanau a Apanui and Ngati Porou descent Chris is highly active in working nationally with Maori to develop scalable sustainable economic development strategies in response to climate change.
In particular he works with Iwi to develop medium to long-term strategies that will engage the best research, innovation and technology capabilities available. He also does similar work with other indigenous peoples of the world. Here Chris speaks about ‘Renewable Energy, Climate Change and Maori Development’.
A keynote address delivered in Vancouver (British Columbia) in February 2014 at an International indigenous Energy Summit profiling the status of Maori development in New Zealand and the the state of government policy that is inhibiting Maori development especially in respect of related climate change and energy policy.
The paper then profile two practical Maori cases studies ( a large established 100% Maori owned geothermal development at Kawerau and a new renewable energy Maori community owned project in Te Whanau a Apanui at Omaio.
The paper ends with some of the lessons learned along the way that may provided guidance to other indigenous people of the world interested in these matters.
A flagship Maori-community owned Renewable Energy Project in New ZealandKaramea Insley
A Maori community innovative partnership and the start of a journey of both local and national significance that brings together some of the best knowledge in New Zealand the world to design and build a new community owned renewable energy enterprise.
The Hikurangi Foundation and the Kaitiakitanga Project Team have sought to partner with you for the very real purpose of designing a pilot community-owned energy project that can be made a reality within an immediate timeframe.
Community energy is a catchall phrase given to renewable energy generation projects where the means of generation are owned and managed locally.
Community energy delivers multiple benefits including: energy literacy, active local governance, household-linked activities leading to efficiency and health improvements, new jobs, and long-term income streams that can drive local economic development. Community energy is moving to scale in many countries around the world, creating diverse organizational structures and using different technologies along the way.
As an example, the German town of Wildpolsreid (with a population of 2,700) produces 321% of their own energy needs and sells the excess to yield an income of US$5.7 million a year.
The village’s initiative first started in 1997 when the village council decided that it should build new industries, keep initiatives local, bring in new revenue, and not create debt.
Over the past 14 years, the community has equipped nine new community buildings with solar panels, built five bio-gas digesters and installed seven windmills with two more on the way.
In the village itself, 190 private households have solar panels while the district also benefits from three small hydro power plants, ecological flood control, and a natural waste water system.
This project is a flagship project for not only Maori communities but indeed for New Zealand.
European Food Innovation and Technology Report 2013Karamea Insley
There are countless opportunities for Maori businesses, Trusts and Incorporations with food producing assets like land, cropping, agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, fishing and other marine interests to add value to these assets through direct accessing of leading European technologies and capabilities and applying these here at home.
It is clear from visiting the leading Food Technology Institutes across Europe that post-war, many of these economies not surprisingly have sophisticated industrial technologies that pervade and enable much of their economic development today.
The Institutes we visited are engaged by the largest food companies of the world (i.e. Nestle, Unilever, Bayer and others) to undertake much of their new product development across all food categories. It is clear that what is happening in the laboratories of these Institutes will shape world consumer demand in the food sector out into the future.
Europe has to be an important source of new technologies to enable Maori busineses to succeed on the world stage. But, it is likely that the major markets for products from our businesses enabled by european technologies will be in the emerging markets of China, India and South America. Traditional markets like the UK, Europe, US and Australia will likely start to feature less in time.
The strategy for Maori food business therefore must be to seek and exploit the best food technologies of the world (and definitely from Europe) and transfer these technologies directly across our businesses and particularly across the estimated 1.2 million hectares of underperforming Maori lands. This is a relatively low risk but high return strategy and can happen quickly compared to the much more risky, time consuming and very expensive strategy of doing new research and science from scratch.
Changes being made by government in terms of some of their reforms may enable Maori business to make this step but, it is unlikely that these changes will bear any real fruit for 3 to 5 years (or more) for Maori business. We shouldn’t wait for government (or any one else) to take this leadership role. The leadership must come from Maori directly, with Government, researchers and others playing a more supporting and enabling role.
An overarching strategy will be in time to move away from passive leasing out of strategic assets like land, fish quota et al towards creating new and wholly Maori owned value chains from raw materials through to end consumer. An important feature of these new value chains will be to bring together multiple Maori businesses (separate Trusts) enabled by the worlds best technology and innovations.
Finally, we can not afford to sit around and do nothing! The opportunity cost (of doing nothing) will be hundreds of millions of dollars to our collective whanau, hapu and Iwi. However, the inverse of this if done well is, the Maori economy could grow to equal the size of the non-Maori economy in as little as10 years.
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.
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!

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.
