WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:02.560
Hey guys, welcome to Cloud Village.

00:03.800 --> 00:13.960
I hope you're having fun with DEF CON and we are here to serve you guys as a community and help the DEF CON event as well.

00:14.580 --> 00:20.060
I know, let me use this time to officially welcome you with the start of Cloud Village.

00:20.100 --> 00:22.640
I know the times have been unprecedented.

00:22.640 --> 00:28.440
I know things have been, things are changing so fast in recent times.

00:28.440 --> 00:34.740
But what we wanted to do with Cloud Village, along with DEF CON, was to be that one constant which is there.

00:34.740 --> 00:45.900
We give you that time where you come along with us, we make this thing possible, we make it the way it was last year or even better if we can do it.

00:46.560 --> 00:56.560
I know it's virtual, I know all of us are home, but we're trying our best to keep up with the time and make sure some of the constant still stays as constant.

00:56.900 --> 00:58.700
Let me take it away from here.

00:58.900 --> 01:10.820
In the opening note, I'll help you go through what we are planning, what we have in plans for this year's Cloud Village, how we're going to move forward, how things would look like.

01:10.820 --> 01:11.980
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 --> 01:30.680
And the silver lining I see in all of this is we don't have a limit of number of attendees.

01:30.680 --> 01:47.460
Last year, I know whoever came down for Cloud Village Space, we did struggle with space, we had limited number of people we could accommodate, and we didn't really try to fix it in this unlimited fashion or not have a limit to the number of attendees.

01:47.460 --> 01:49.160
But hey, that's a silver lining.

01:49.160 --> 01:51.400
We are glad that we have that this time.

01:51.400 --> 01:55.780
So you just got to stream on to our YouTube channel and you get everything.

01:56.920 --> 02:02.860
I did see a lot of people asked me about this registration for workshops or not.

02:02.860 --> 02:05.700
Let me tell you this, there is no registration again.

02:06.220 --> 02:11.680
So as many number of people can chime in, we are ready to serve you for that.

02:12.340 --> 02:18.640
The schedule is going to be based on specific time.

02:18.740 --> 02:25.300
We wanted to keep it as close as possible to the way it was last year.

02:25.980 --> 02:27.920
And this is what it looks like.

02:27.920 --> 02:30.180
Our live stream will be happening on YouTube.

02:31.440 --> 02:35.040
7th August, every day we start at 11 a.m PT.

02:35.040 --> 02:38.800
The first day goes on with continuous talks and workshop till 16.30.

02:38.800 --> 02:41.680
8th of August goes till 17.30.

02:41.680 --> 02:44.360
9th of August goes till 13.50.

02:44.360 --> 02:48.700
And that's when we end our village on the third day.

02:49.760 --> 02:52.720
So this is about the talks.

02:52.760 --> 02:57.100
About the CTF, our CTF will be continuous 51 hours.

02:57.100 --> 03:01.380
It starts at 11 a.m like 7th of August PT.

03:01.480 --> 03:05.780
Ends at 12.30 p.m 9th of August.

03:05.860 --> 03:11.900
Our winner's announcement would be done at the closing note at 13.30.

03:12.540 --> 03:15.440
And I hope you have fun playing the CTF.

03:16.800 --> 03:21.420
Online video stream, it's going to be on Cloud Village YouTube channel.

03:22.060 --> 03:26.440
One thing we realized with YouTube was, it was a seamless interface for everyone.

03:26.780 --> 03:29.920
It's easy, like, it's quick to log in.

03:29.920 --> 03:31.960
It's quick to work around with it.

03:32.000 --> 03:36.480
It supports low streaming, like, bandwidth as well.

03:36.480 --> 03:38.500
Low bandwidth, low internet bandwidth as well.

03:38.500 --> 03:41.020
And we wanted to reach out.

03:41.020 --> 03:47.780
This is one of the first times where we can reach out to the audience on the entire globe.

03:47.780 --> 03:53.280
And we don't want you to feel left out.

03:53.280 --> 04:02.920
So we chose the platform which could accommodate everyone without having a lot of dependency on the internet bandwidth you have.

04:02.920 --> 04:12.180
For Q&As, yes, we are trying with virtual, we are trying to replicate the physical presence as much as possible.

04:12.180 --> 04:15.580
But I know we cannot, like, make it we cannot beat it.

04:15.580 --> 04:16.740
We are trying our best.

04:16.940 --> 04:19.420
So the Q&As are going to be with the YouTube chat.

04:19.420 --> 04:22.380
When you're at the stream, you can feel free to put your questions in.

04:22.680 --> 04:29.380
And like any one of us who is moderating the speakers, we'll put your questions forth and we can take it forward from there.

04:29.420 --> 04:33.920
For any details you need, you will find that on cloud-village.org.

04:33.920 --> 04:37.060
That's the most updated data set we have.

04:37.280 --> 04:38.200
Hey, Jayesh.

04:38.760 --> 04:39.600
Hello.

04:39.600 --> 04:39.980
Yes.

04:39.980 --> 04:42.720
It wouldn't be normal if we didn't start off with some issues.

04:42.720 --> 04:44.540
Jayesh, could you please share your screen?

04:45.260 --> 04:49.440
I just realized that we have people in the chat requesting the screen.

04:51.080 --> 04:52.020
All right.

04:52.020 --> 04:53.340
We learn as we go.

04:53.340 --> 04:53.920
There we go.

04:53.920 --> 04:54.700
Thank you.

04:54.700 --> 04:56.500
Quickly go through it again.

04:57.540 --> 04:58.400
Okay.

04:58.560 --> 05:04.400
We've got talks, we've got tool demos, we've got workshops, we've got CTF, silver lining, we don't have a number of attendees.

05:05.920 --> 05:07.660
Schedule looks like this.

05:07.660 --> 05:09.620
The same can be found on our website.

05:12.780 --> 05:16.900
We start on 7th August, 11 a.m., we end at 13.50.

05:17.180 --> 05:20.700
Our CTF is going to be, like, 11.50 on ours.

05:20.700 --> 05:25.340
It starts at 11 a.m., 7th August, ends on 9th August, like, 12.30.

05:25.440 --> 05:26.900
All the timelines are in PT.

05:26.900 --> 05:31.020
The winners would be announced at 13.30 on 9th of August.

05:31.280 --> 05:40.760
Video stream, YouTube channel, Q&A, you can put your questions on YouTube, 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 --> 05:56.620
CTF Portal, this is our link to our CTF Portal.

05:56.960 --> 06:04.500
As of now, last I checked, 10 minutes ago, 10-15 minutes ago, we had more than 100 users registered in.

06:04.720 --> 06:11.520
We did have some issues earlier, 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 --> 06:18.500
We are on better servers now.

06:18.500 --> 06:19.840
The system is up and running.

06:19.840 --> 06:23.360
I'm sorry for the downtime we had for a small while.

06:23.620 --> 06:24.740
But yeah, the portal is up.

06:24.740 --> 06:26.040
Register and start playing.

06:26.040 --> 06:27.360
The CTF has started.

06:27.360 --> 06:29.020
As of now, you can start.

06:29.020 --> 06:30.080
Like, the challenges would be live.

06:30.080 --> 06:32.920
You can just go ahead and start playing.

06:32.920 --> 06:35.560
For any queries you have, use our Twitter channel.

06:35.560 --> 06:42.260
We are there to answer your queries, and we will try our best to do it as soon as possible.

06:43.680 --> 06:47.480
Talks and tool demos, we have a common theme for them.

06:47.800 --> 06:49.620
For this year, we have 10 talks.

06:49.620 --> 06:51.200
We have three tool demos.

06:51.920 --> 06:54.280
Both of them are 40 minutes each.

06:56.180 --> 06:59.340
Last five minutes of that 40 minutes will be used for Q&A.

06:59.340 --> 07:02.480
And five minutes after every talk will be break time.

07:02.480 --> 07:10.560
That will be for us to do 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 --> 07:15.780
Workshops.

07:15.780 --> 07:17.200
We have two workshops.

07:17.260 --> 07:19.880
Both of them are around two hours each.

07:20.220 --> 07:36.840
We have purposefully kept them both as the last sessions on Friday and Saturday, purely because we know workshops, like replicating workshops on a virtual environment is a different task in itself, and especially when we wanted to have no limit of attendees coming in.

07:36.840 --> 07:45.920
So, it might go long, yeah, we plan to do it in time, but if it doesn't, hey, you get more interaction with the speaker, you learn more, you understand better.

07:46.160 --> 07:48.340
So, I take it as a good thing.

07:50.040 --> 07:51.080
Communication channel.

07:51.080 --> 07:57.520
Twitter is going to be our official most vigilantly taken care channel.

07:57.840 --> 08:03.940
If you have anything, feel free to reach out to us on Twitter, and we will get to your tweet as soon as possible.

08:05.040 --> 08:21.120
Sponsors, we would not have been here without the backup we can get from our sponsors, which helps us and run this efficiently, seamlessly, and otherwise logistics and other things just sound like a nightmare.

08:21.120 --> 08:27.180
So, thank you for both our sponsors, AWS being our gold sponsors, being our talk sponsor.

08:28.060 --> 08:31.440
And let's not forget, DEF CON is not cancelled.

08:31.800 --> 08:37.020
We're doing all of this for you guys, for the community, so that everyone stays home, stays safe.

08:37.540 --> 08:38.640
There are going to be hiccups.

08:38.640 --> 08:41.900
This is the first time we are trying to do this virtual.

08:42.320 --> 08:44.020
All we ask is your patience.

08:44.020 --> 08:47.120
Just bear with us, and we should be in a better place.

08:47.120 --> 08:57.340
And we will learn every day, every moment, and we'll make sure that we make ourselves better with every iteration of talks, demos, or day as we move ahead with the village.

08:58.580 --> 09:02.580
At last, thank you, DEF CON, for having us here.

09:02.580 --> 09:08.500
Our speakers, this would not have been possible without the talks, the research papers you have submitted.

09:08.500 --> 09:13.600
I know we had an overwhelming response for our CFP.

09:13.600 --> 09:19.760
I wish we could add all the talks which were there, but yeah, we have some limitations.

09:19.760 --> 09:25.240
We'll try our best to add more talks next year, but for this year, this is what it is.

09:25.460 --> 09:32.680
Speaker Ops team, you guys are going to take care of all the speakers and attendees having a seamless experience.

09:32.680 --> 09:35.640
CTF team, I hope you get some sleep.

09:35.640 --> 09:44.380
It's going to be continuous 51 hours, close to 51 hours of rigorous maintenance, logistics things.

09:44.380 --> 09:47.420
I know you're going to do a fabulous job with it.

09:47.420 --> 09:50.520
Just keep it going.

09:50.740 --> 09:57.900
Social media team, you are going to help us interact with our attendees, connect better with the community.

09:58.220 --> 10:11.840
Review team, you made our job a bit easier, a bit harder as well in selecting the talks, but a bit easier in terms of navigating across the talks which we had submitted, which we had received.

10:12.160 --> 10:21.660
And last but not the least, attendees, we would not be doing all of this if we didn't get the love we got last year, and we expect the same love from you this year as well.

10:21.860 --> 10:26.560
And we will, I'm sure we'll make mistakes, but we will learn.

10:26.560 --> 10:28.380
I can guarantee you that part.
