Boudicca, queen of the Iceni tribe, led a major rebellion against Roman rule in Britain in AD 60-61 after the Romans mistreated her tribe. She assembled a large army from the Iceni and other British tribes and sacked the Roman towns of Colchester, London, and Verulamium, destroying them and killing tens of thousands of Romans and Roman sympathizers. Eventually, the Roman governor was able to defeat Boudicca's forces in battle, ending the rebellion, after which Boudicca took her own life rather than be captured.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.

2. The Roman Empire
The Romans had a
huge empire. At this
time, England was run
by many tribes. Each
tribe had its own King.
The Romans wanted to
rule England and set
out to beat these tribes
in battle therefore
ruling Britain.
3. Why did they want Britain?
The Romans wanted to rule Britain because it had
lots of gold, silver and tin mines. These were
really important as they made their weapons,
armour and goods (jewellery) out of these metals.
4. Let's start from the beginning.
The Romans attacked
Britain in AD 43. King
Caratacus was the
King of a British tribe
called Catuvellaunians
(cat-u-vell-aneans).
They tried to stop the
Romans taking over
Britain.
Caratacus was the
first King to unite
British tribes against
the Romans.
5. What happened to King Caratacus?
Caratacus fought
against the Romans for
8 years but was beaten
in the end.
He got taken to Rome.
He thought he was
going to be killed.
Instead they let him go
and he came back to
Britain and died.
6. The Iceni The British tribes,
including the King and
Queens, had to obey
King Prasutagus was the Romans and do
the King of the British what they said. If they
tribe the Iceni. didn't they would be
Queen Boudicca was killed.
his wife.
The Romans let them
rule over their lands in
return for money and
trade.
7. What happened next?
In 61 AD Prasutagus
died. He had always
been friendly with the
Romans but his wife,
Boudicca, did not
agree with them.
The Romans were
demanding taxes to be
paid or they wanted
her to give up the
throne. Boudicca
decided to fight back!
8. Other tribes joined in...
Soon other tribes joined the Iceni army and they
marched to Colchester – this was the capital of
Roman Britain.
Boudicca and her army then attacked the town.
They even burnt down a temple where elderly
soldiers and families had been taking shelter.
Next Boudicca led her army to London (it was
called Londonium at that time). Here they burned
down the city and killed hundreds of people
living there.
9. Where was the Roman army when all
of this was going on?
Part of the army was in Exeter.
The Roman general there was too frightened to
move when he heard about the rebellion.
The rest of the army was with the Roman
Governor , who was trying to conquer North
Wales. It took along time for him to march back
to the South of Britain to fight Boudicca.
10. Boudicca may have had ten
times more soldiers than the
Romans did, but the Romans
were well trained. Eventually,
the Britons were
defeated.Rather than being
captured, Boudicca drank
poison and died.
After Boudicca's rebellion
Britain was mostly peaceful
under Roman rule. People
enjoyed living in Roman-style
towns with baths and shops
and they spoke Latin.

Today's work lesson, I would like
you to have produced
a storyboard
explaining this story.
You will need to select
the important bits as
you will be dividing
your paper into 6
pictures. Good luck!
