[00:00.000 --> 00:07.220] Hey guys, welcome to Cloud Village. I hope you're having fun with DEF CON and we are [00:07.220 --> 00:16.020] here to serve you guys as a community and help the DEF CON event as well. I know, let [00:16.020 --> 00:20.680] me use this time to officially welcome you with the start of Cloud Village. I know the [00:20.680 --> 00:27.300] times have been unprecedented. I know things have been, things are changing so fast in [00:27.300 --> 00:32.760] recent times. But what we wanted to do with Cloud Village, along with DEF CON, was to be that one [00:32.760 --> 00:41.220] constant which is there. We give you that time where you come along with us, we make this thing [00:41.220 --> 00:48.140] possible, we make it the way it was last year or even better if we can do it. I know it's virtual, [00:48.140 --> 00:54.100] I know all of us are home, but we're trying our best to keep up with the time and make sure some [00:54.100 --> 01:00.840] of the constant still stays as constant. Let me take it away from here. In the opening note, [01:00.840 --> 01:06.660] I'll help you go through what we are planning, what we have in plans for this year's Cloud [01:06.660 --> 01:11.980] Village, how we're going to move forward, how things would look like. Let me take that away. [01:13.800 --> 01:19.380] Yes, we went virtual, along with DEF CON, but virtual doesn't mean we backed off. [01:19.380 --> 01:25.080] We do have talks like last year, we do have tool demos, we do have workshops, we have CTAs. [01:25.180 --> 01:30.860] And the silver lining I see in all of this is we don't have a limit of number of attendees. Last [01:30.860 --> 01:37.580] year, I know whoever came down for Cloud Village Space, we did struggle with space, we had limited [01:37.580 --> 01:43.060] number of people we could accommodate, and we didn't really try to fix it in this unlimited [01:43.060 --> 01:49.160] fashion or not have a limit to the number of attendees. But hey, that's a silver lining. [01:49.160 --> 01:53.820] We are glad that we have that this time. So you just got to stream on to our YouTube channel and [01:53.820 --> 02:02.100] you get everything. I did see a lot of people asked me about this registration for workshops [02:02.100 --> 02:08.540] or not. Let me tell you this, there is no registration again. So as many number of people [02:08.540 --> 02:17.780] can chime in, we are ready to serve you for that. The schedule is going to be based on specific [02:17.780 --> 02:25.300] time. We wanted to keep it as close as possible to the way it was last year. [02:25.980 --> 02:30.180] And this is what it looks like. Our live stream will be happening on YouTube. [02:31.440 --> 02:37.100] 7th August, every day we start at 11 a.m PT. The first day goes on with continuous talks and [02:37.100 --> 02:45.160] workshop till 16.30. 8th of August goes till 17.30. 9th of August goes till 13.50. And that's when [02:45.660 --> 02:53.920] we end our village on the third day. So this is about the talks. About the CTF, [02:53.920 --> 03:02.880] our CTF will be continuous 51 hours. It starts at 11 a.m like 7th of August PT. Ends at 12.30 [03:03.600 --> 03:11.900] p.m 9th of August. Our winner's announcement would be done at the closing note at 13.30. [03:12.540 --> 03:20.260] And I hope you have fun playing the CTF. Online video stream, it's going to be on Cloud Village [03:20.260 --> 03:25.560] YouTube channel. One thing we realized with YouTube was, it was a seamless interface for [03:25.560 --> 03:32.920] everyone. It's easy, like, it's quick to log in. It's quick to work around with it. It supports [03:32.920 --> 03:38.500] low streaming, like, bandwidth as well. Low bandwidth, low internet bandwidth as well. And [03:39.320 --> 03:46.380] we wanted to reach out. This is one of the first times where we can reach out to the audience on [03:46.380 --> 03:57.060] the entire globe. And we don't want you to feel left out. So we chose the platform which could [03:57.060 --> 04:02.920] accommodate everyone without having a lot of dependency on the internet bandwidth you have. [04:02.920 --> 04:10.840] For Q&As, yes, we are trying with virtual, we are trying to replicate the physical presence [04:10.840 --> 04:16.740] as much as possible. But I know we cannot, like, make it we cannot beat it. We are trying our best. [04:16.940 --> 04:20.780] So the Q&As are going to be with the YouTube chat. When you're at the stream, you can feel [04:20.780 --> 04:26.380] free to put your questions in. And like any one of us who is moderating the speakers, [04:26.380 --> 04:31.300] we'll put your questions forth and we can take it forward from there. For any details you need, [04:31.300 --> 04:37.060] you will find that on cloud-village.org. That's the most updated data set we have. [04:37.280 --> 04:38.200] Hey, Jayesh. [04:38.760 --> 04:39.980] Hello. Yes. [04:39.980 --> 04:43.040] It wouldn't be normal if we didn't start off with some issues. Jayesh, [04:43.040 --> 04:48.100] could you please share your screen? I just realized that we have people in the chat [04:48.100 --> 04:49.440] requesting the screen. [04:51.080 --> 04:53.340] All right. We learn as we go. [04:53.340 --> 04:54.700] There we go. Thank you. [04:54.700 --> 04:56.500] Quickly go through it again. [04:57.540 --> 05:01.900] Okay. We've got talks, we've got tool demos, we've got workshops, we've got CTF, [05:01.900 --> 05:04.400] silver lining, we don't have a number of attendees. [05:05.920 --> 05:09.620] Schedule looks like this. The same can be found on our website. [05:12.780 --> 05:19.380] We start on 7th August, 11 a.m., we end at 13.50. Our CTF is going to be, like, [05:19.380 --> 05:25.340] 11.50 on ours. It starts at 11 a.m., 7th August, ends on 9th August, like, 12.30. [05:25.440 --> 05:31.020] All the timelines are in PT. The winners would be announced at 13.30 on 9th of August. [05:31.280 --> 05:36.400] Video stream, YouTube channel, Q&A, you can put your questions on YouTube, [05:36.400 --> 05:40.760] chat, and someone from Speaker Ops who is moderating the speakers will pick it up. [05:41.040 --> 05:48.360] cloud-village.org is your go-to avenue for seeing any details which we post there. [05:48.920 --> 05:52.140] And we will have communication on YouTube, like, on Twitter. [05:53.220 --> 06:01.140] CTF Portal, this is our link to our CTF Portal. As of now, last I checked, 10 minutes ago, [06:01.140 --> 06:08.040] 10-15 minutes ago, we had more than 100 users registered in. We did have some issues earlier, [06:08.040 --> 06:11.520] but we were not expecting that we would get so much love from you guys. [06:11.520 --> 06:16.400] And so many registrations popped in as soon as we started. [06:16.400 --> 06:20.820] We are on better servers now. The system is up and running. I'm sorry for the downtime [06:20.820 --> 06:26.780] we had for a small while. But yeah, the portal is up. Register and start playing. The CTF has [06:26.780 --> 06:31.040] started. As of now, you can start. Like, the challenges would be live. You can just go ahead [06:31.700 --> 06:36.340] and start playing. For any queries you have, use our Twitter channel. We are there [06:37.080 --> 06:42.260] to answer your queries, and we will try our best to do it as soon as possible. [06:43.680 --> 06:49.900] Talks and tool demos, we have a common theme for them. For this year, we have 10 talks. We have [06:49.900 --> 06:58.000] three tool demos. Both of them are 40 minutes each. Last five minutes of that 40 minutes will [06:58.000 --> 07:03.880] be used for Q&A. And five minutes after every talk will be break time. That will be for us to do [07:03.880 --> 07:10.560] the logistical work so that your movement towards the new speaker or the new talk is seamless. [07:11.120 --> 07:13.680] And we'll make sure that we share the screen this time. [07:15.200 --> 07:21.180] Workshops. We have two workshops. Both of them are around two hours each. We have purposefully [07:21.180 --> 07:29.140] kept them both as the last sessions on Friday and Saturday, purely because we know workshops, [07:29.140 --> 07:33.240] like replicating workshops on a virtual environment is a different task in itself, [07:33.240 --> 07:38.200] and especially when we wanted to have no limit of attendees coming in. So, it might go long, [07:38.600 --> 07:44.100] yeah, we plan to do it in time, but if it doesn't, hey, you get more interaction with the speaker, [07:44.100 --> 07:48.340] you learn more, you understand better. So, I take it as a good thing. [07:50.040 --> 07:57.520] Communication channel. Twitter is going to be our official most vigilantly taken care channel. [07:57.840 --> 08:02.880] If you have anything, feel free to reach out to us on Twitter, and we will get to your tweet as [08:02.880 --> 08:10.860] soon as possible. Sponsors, we would not have been here without the backup we can get from our [08:10.860 --> 08:19.340] sponsors, which helps us and run this efficiently, seamlessly, and otherwise logistics and other [08:19.340 --> 08:24.700] things just sound like a nightmare. So, thank you for both our sponsors, AWS being our gold sponsors, [08:24.700 --> 08:32.960] being our talk sponsor. And let's not forget, DEF CON is not cancelled. We're doing all of this [08:32.960 --> 08:38.120] for you guys, for the community, so that everyone stays home, stays safe. There are going to be [08:38.120 --> 08:44.280] hiccups. This is the first time we are trying to do this virtual. All we ask is your patience. Just [08:44.280 --> 08:49.860] bear with us, and we should be in a better place. And we will learn every day, every moment, and [08:49.860 --> 08:55.780] we'll make sure that we make ourselves better with every iteration of talks, demos, or day as [08:55.780 --> 09:03.500] we move ahead with the village. At last, thank you, DEF CON, for having us here. Our speakers, [09:03.500 --> 09:08.500] this would not have been possible without the talks, the research papers you have submitted. [09:08.500 --> 09:16.100] I know we had an overwhelming response for our CFP. I wish we could add all the talks which were [09:16.100 --> 09:23.480] there, but yeah, we have some limitations. We'll try our best to add more talks next year, but for [09:23.480 --> 09:29.520] this year, this is what it is. Speaker Ops team, you guys are going to take care of all the speakers [09:29.520 --> 09:36.160] and attendees having a seamless experience. CTF team, I hope you get some sleep. It's going to [09:36.160 --> 09:44.380] be continuous 51 hours, close to 51 hours of rigorous maintenance, logistics things. [09:44.380 --> 09:51.220] I know you're going to do a fabulous job with it. Just keep it going. Social [09:51.220 --> 09:57.900] media team, you are going to help us interact with our attendees, connect better with the community. [09:58.220 --> 10:03.860] Review team, you made our job a bit easier, a bit harder as well in selecting the talks, but [10:03.980 --> 10:09.340] a bit easier in terms of navigating across the talks which we [10:09.340 --> 10:15.680] had submitted, which we had received. And last but not the least, attendees, we would not be doing [10:15.680 --> 10:20.720] all of this if we didn't get the love we got last year, and we expect the same love from you this [10:20.720 --> 10:28.380] year as well. And we will, I'm sure we'll make mistakes, but we will learn. I can guarantee you that part.
