Decisions behind hypervisor selection in CloudStack 4.3Tim Mackey
As presented at the 2014 CloudStack Collaboration Conference in Denver (CCCNA14), this deck covers the matrix of functions and features within each supported hypervisor in CloudStack 4.3. This deck forms an excellent reference document for those seeking to provide multi-hypervisor support within their Apache CloudStack based cloud, and for those seeking to determine which feature elements are supported by a given hypervisor.

CloudStack is one of many cloud orchestration platforms which can deliver IaaS clouds. One of the key capabilities of CloudStack is its ability to support multiple hypervisors in a CloudStack cloud. So whether your virtualization preference is VMware vSphere, KVM, Citrix XenServer or Linux Containers (LXC), you can build highly scalable clouds. While basic functionality is common across all hypervisors, many features are implemented differently on each. This paper presents the capabilities of CloudStack which can be enabled based on your hypervisor selection

Selecting the correct hypervisor for CloudStack 4.5Tim Mackey
Apache CloudStack supports multiple hypervisors out of the box, and the obvious question is which hypervisor is best for CloudStack. In this session we cover core CloudStack components such as networking, storage and virtualization functions to present which hypervisor is able to meet a given requirement. The core take-away is that with an understanding of the services to be delivered the correct hypervisor, or hypervisors, can be selected with relative ease. This deck is as delivered at CloudStack Days 2015 in Seattle.
Hypervisor Capabilities in Apache CloudStack 4.3Tim Mackey
Apache CloudStack 4.3 adds support for clouds built using Microsoft Hyper-V, in addition to supporting VMware vSphere, Citrix XenServer, KVM, Oracle VM, Linux Containers and bare metal options. This deck covers the decision points impacting the design of CloudStack 4.3 clouds, and their relationship with hypervisor choices.
Presented at Build a Cloud Day co-located with SCaLE 12x in February 2014.
Node.js (Node) , the brain child of Ryan Dahl, was released in 2009 when he worked for Joyent, Inc. Node is one of the most hyped technologies to arrive on the web development scene, though it is also one of the most misunderstood.
So what is Node? Is it a programming language like Python, Java, or C++? Is it an application framework like Django, Rails, or Symphony? Is it maybe some type of middleware that can be plugged into existing web stacks like Memcached or RabbitMQ? Actually, it is none of the above. Node is simply a set of JavaScript language bindings to Google's powerful V8 engine. This begs the question: "what is a language binding and what is V8?"
This presentation introduces Node from an architectural perspective by discussing its implementation followed by a practical demonstration of how to build an application using it through a real-world example. Michael Filbin of Aspenware explains how Ryan liberated JavaScript from the browser and brought the power of event-driven, non-blocked programming to every developer by using the world's most popular programming language.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Attacking the Problem
• 2004 LibQUAL+ IC D-M scores low
• Voyager increasingly outdated ca. 2006
• 400+ silos: SFX was a good start
• Users start with Google
• 2006 strategic planning points
• Improve physical and virtual access to
existing collections
• Action: Simplify/consolidate electronic
access to information and information types
• Action: Investigate federated search
interface
• Increase awareness of existing collections
4. Glimmers of Hope?
• Mergers => ?
• Faceted “next-generation catalogs”
emerged
• LibQUAL+ 2007 IC D-M scores up among
faculty (but even lower for students)
• Federated search? No, thanks.

7. Improvement Suggestions
• Too many choices in the drop-down format list
• Change “ebook” to “electronic” in drop-down format
list
• Put electronic results at top - search results should
be sorted by format, then title
• Bigger format icons
• There should be a message "no electronic version
found"
• Make location/availability info bigger and put at the
top of the record screen
• Include more jacket images
• Make browse like iTunes browse function
• Make advanced search default, advanced search is
better
• Put facets bar on left instead of right
8. Implementation
• Need for changes/additions seen
• Some librarians wanted VuFind to work like
the classic catalog
• “requires a different mental model” (Houser
2009)
• Reorienting around the possible
• Instilled project management
9. Branching Out (and Forking)
• VuFind Taskforce => Tech Team
• VuFind formats working group
• Many revisions and additions to code
• WMU svn tree diverged significantly from
official svn tree
16. More Improvements

21. Configuration
• So, what is included in this big database?
• Metadata about articles harvested from
various journal publishers
• Metadata harvested from our local ILS
• Metadata from local digital collections
(ContentDM, Luna)
• Metadata from various open access
collections (Hathi Trust, Digital
Commons, etc.)
22. Managing What Is Included
Quarterly schedule for entire database
ingestion
Daily updates
Catalog updates
New e-resource acquisitions and 360
Resource Manager configuration
24. Phased Summon Rollout
Clickable object fall ’09
“try this new thing we’re
testing”

“search the new thing”
Main tab fall ’10
“try this first”
Use skyrocketed and has
remained high ever since
Became our primary path for
accessing full text articles
30. Acceptance
Differing paradigm (discovery vs. search,
unknown vs. known items)
370 million objects discoverable at WMU
(273 million are newspaper articles)
46 differing material formats
593 million total objects at WMU and all
other Summon sites
31. Summon Forward
• Updated at SerialsSolutions
