[OpenStack Day in Korea] How OpenStack is Developed: A new way for a new worldSungjin Kang
This document discusses how OpenStack is developed through an active user model where users contribute to the project. It describes how software is becoming strategic for all companies and how the old consumption model of relying on another company's software is being replaced by an open design model where users actively contribute. The OpenStack project embraces this active user model by incorporating user surveys, operator summits, and keynotes from users into their development process. Having many active users contributing helps OpenStack produce one platform through an egalitarian process with elected leaders, frequent releases, automated testing, and by starting from working code.
SiS Intelligent Energy Management Platt 2007guestb40d60
This document discusses intelligent energy management through distributed energy resources and demand side management. It describes how individual energy generation and storage systems can be coordinated to provide benefits like reducing emissions and improving infrastructure utilization. Multi-agent systems and machine learning techniques are proposed to coordinate diverse devices at scale while maintaining customer satisfaction and response reliability. Coordinating many small systems into a virtual power station could improve the economics of distributed energy.

This document describes Sempra Energy's ergonomics program to reduce office injuries and costs. It outlines three pillars of success: 1) proactive identification of risks before injuries occur using web-based assessments, 2) management buy-in and support through communicating the business case, and 3) data-based decision making by identifying issues, measuring outcomes, and prioritizing efforts. The program led to increased participation, identification of high-risk employees, decreased injury rates and costs, and positive employee feedback about its usability and helpfulness.

This was presented at the Academy Of Management's 2011 Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. This presentation was part of an All-Academy Session entitled: Creating Social Value: From Box Checking to Embedded Philosophy (http://program.aomonline.org/2011/submission.asp?mode=ShowSession&SessionID=822). The session explored different methods of creating social value within organizations; this presentation is a case study of one such method: creating a business with social value inextricably aligned with economic value.
The document discusses the issue of industrial plants using nearby bodies of water to cool machinery, which can harm fish and marine organisms. The Environmental Protection Agency and Clean Water Act mandate that industries adopt closed-cycle cooling systems to minimize environmental impact, but this can cost an estimated $100 billion for the electric power industry. While debated for over 40 years, industries must find alternative solutions that balance economic sustainability with reducing environmental harm from their operations. The article provides useful background but could have provided more updates on solutions under discussion.

“The Premature Extinction of the CINO”
Like many other efforts at transformational change during the past 25 years, Chief Innovation Officers (CINOs) confront widespread resistance. Performance measurement is difficult. CEOs and executive committees struggle with what tomorrow will look like for Innovation. CINO extinction is likely unless several lessons are applied!
Luis Solis, Imaginatik’s President of North America and a 25-year transformation and technology leader, will reveal a compelling framework for fortifying the CINO position and the Innovation function for future success. Derived from his work at Imaginatik and pulling content from his upcoming book “Innovation Alchemists,” Luis’ presentation shares insights and advice valuable to CEOs and CINOs alike.
New virtual energy audit tools use software and algorithms to analyze meter data, weather information, and other building data to provide energy assessments and recommendations without on-site audits. These virtual audits can assess large building portfolios faster and at lower cost compared to traditional on-site audits. Companies using virtual audit tools have found recommendations are consistent with on-site audits and end-use breakdowns are typically within 10% of actual usage. Virtual audits allow more buildings to be assessed than could be done through traditional on-site audits alone.
Artificial intelligence will transform many industries just as electricity did in the past, with AI now seen as a strategic priority for most businesses. While AI will both create and replace jobs, it provides opportunities for small businesses to better compete and allows large firms to operate more efficiently. The document discusses how companies can get started with AI through existing vendor software, chatbots, making applications smarter, or using open source tools for specific projects.

9. Beechwood Reverse Pitch FINALISTS 6.14.17 Joel Bennett
The document discusses a proposed platform called Beechwood that would enable communities to share data and applications. It would use high-speed networks and cloud infrastructure to securely replicate and pool existing private and public databases. This would allow for collective innovation and the development of shared and premium applications. Examples shown are apps for education data and crime mapping. The business model involves pricing tiers for data storage, API access, and application hosting for private and public entities. The team believes this platform could address regional data sharing needs while generating over $1 billion in annual revenue from various potential customer types.
PoolResponse provides a remote pool monitoring and control system that saves energy and money for pool owners. It uses sensors and cloud-based software to optimize pool pump operation by more efficiently scheduling run times. This can reduce energy usage by 25-50% for the over 5 million pools in the US that currently waste a large portion of the energy used to run inefficient, single-speed pumps on mechanical timers. PoolResponse sees a large market opportunity in the Southwest US and plans to expand through a dealer network model.

12 Step Community Led Growth Playbook - Lloyed LoboBoast Capital
Community-led growth is taking center stage at organizations across all industries. With traditional marketing techniques reaching a saturation point and product features appearing to differ very little, a thriving community can become your single greatest asset by acting as a force multiplier for your business and also enabling you to stand out in a fragmented market.
However, building and nurturing a community takes time - relationships cannot be an afterthought. When put front and center, a community can be a great acquisition channel, product feedback mechanism, brand differentiator, and retention lever.
In this session, Lloyed Lobo, Cofounder of Boast.AI shares how they were able to bootstrap to 8 figures in revenue by building a community of +100k people called Traction and the key lessons learned along the way.
Specifically, Lloyed covers:
- Audience vs community, what is the difference
- Getting your community started, bringing people together, and seeding it at the beginning
- How to ensure your community sticks and sustains for the long haul
- The most impactful way to add new members
- Unique strategies and tactics to keep the community engaged and drive interpersonal connections between members
- The key metrics for community success
- Tools to manage the community
Bio below
Lloyed is the Co-founder of Boast.AI fintech platform that automates access to billions in R&D tax credits and government funding to help innovative companies fuel their growth. Boast.AI was bootstrapped to 8 figures in revenue before it raised a $30 CAD Series A and launched a $100M debt fund to finance R&D.
Lloyed also runs Traction, a community of +100k innovators where leaders from the fastest growing companies share learnings on building, growing, and scaling companies via weekly webinars, regular meetups, and conferences.
Lloyed has been covered in Forbes, TechCrunch, Fox Business, SF Biz Journals, and VentureBeat. He has also been a speaker at top conferences and podcasts including SaaStr, Entrepreneurs on Fire, Mixergy, 1Mby1M, and Marketing School.
