My name is Diane Euler and I'm with Red Hat. I'm not wearing a red hat today. I have a red fedora, but I also am the open source community manager for OpenShift, which is, we'll talk a tiny bit about that in this presentation. But this is my side project. It's called the Discover Tones project and it's how I have been working for the
00:26
past four years about teaching skills to youth, First Nations youth, high school kids, a little junior high, some college age kids about the rules of the world of social curation, cloud technology, teaching about mapping and data privacy issues on the web.
00:46
And you will find out very quickly that I am incredibly obsessed with totem poles. I don't know why. I just came back yesterday from my honeymoon. I spent two weeks up in Haida Gwaii in the Queen Charlotte's getting the GPS
01:02
locations of a whole other series of totem poles that we're going to add to the project that I'll tell you all about. It's a tsunami evacuation route. It's in the middle of nowhere. And so you know that my dear, sweet spouse must love me to go on a honeymoon and track them down.
01:22
So today what I'm going to do is talk about and have a conversation with you guys a little bit about social media, the convergence of mapping technology, cloud technology, data privacy issues and do some show and tell. So I am not going to talk about a geospatial server. I'm going to talk about how people actually use this stuff
01:43
and a use case for some of the work that you guys are doing and would love to get your input on what I'm doing and maybe even coerce you because that's what I do as a community manager into helping me with this project. In the Internet of Things, there are so many tools and devices and different servers and things that I could
02:03
use. When we get to the point about why I'm using what I'm using, you will understand who I'm working with. I'm working with a generation of kids who are not only are they First Nations, so they're native, but they are also very digitally fluent. They have lots of tools and they want to use those tools and I'm trying to enable them to
02:25
get those skills and use them in productive ways that I can integrate into their curriculums in different ways. This project comes out of a number of sessions of mine. Maps. I love maps. I always have. You may or
02:41
may not know me from social media. I have at least six Twitter handles to hold all of my different obsessions. I'm a Python developer, so I have Python DJ. I have Discover Totems. I have a dozen or so. I'm also obsessed with social media and working with that. I work for Red Hat. I work on both OpenShift and on OpenStack.
03:06
I do the infrastructure as a service and platform as a service layers. I herd cats for a living. I, as I said before, am obsessed with totem poles. I love maps and I'm sure you all do too because one of the things they do is they filter out all the other chaos.
03:24
There are so many things I'm obsessed with. Maybe I'm a little obsessive compulsive, but they allow you to focus in on a single thing. And some of these slides, I use the same slide deck, slightly variation, to teach kids. So you're getting a little bit of how I teach the kids and young university students who don't really have a lot of technology skills.
03:44
But they also don't really understand about mapping and how maps do give meaning and they don't understand the importance of mapping. There's also a big revolution going on in Canada, which is where I'm from, British Columbia. I live north of Vancouver in a little town called Sechelt. It's a ferry ride.
04:04
If you know where Whistler is, it's the coastal side of that. There's a mountain range between me and Whistler. I can't drive there. I have to take another ferry to get there. But there's a whole revolution going on in the First Nations communities where they're taking advantage of social media. How many of you have heard of the Idle No More movement?
04:24
It didn't cross the line. It didn't come down here, as we say in Canada. So if you search on the hashtag Idle No More, you'll see this whole thing that happened when Stephen Harper, who was our prime minister, if you don't know that part, he wiped out the negotiations with the First Nations around water rights and resource rights. And everybody was pissed.
04:48
But these women, these four women, one of them is a lawyer, a couple of moms, and just ordinary people started this hashtag Idle No More. And it went viral. There were protests and it was amazing. And it really invigorated the cross-community collaboration that went
05:09
in between First Nations people, activists, and ordinary people who were just stunned that this happened behind closed doors in parliament. There's another one that's going on right now. There's a lot of, and so they're using social
05:24
media more and more and taking advantage of it. There have been a lot of missing Aboriginal women. We have a thing called the Highway of Tears where kids are hitchhiking home and they just disappear and there was no investigations. And so there was a big uproar. And someone is using, a young woman who started using this hashtag Am I Next, and it's now
05:46
going viral across there. So the kids and the First Nations groups that I work with are incredibly savvy about social media, but they don't really get the intersection with things like maps and cloud technology. And when we look at maps, you can look at the map that George Vancouver, who is the city of Vancouver, is
06:08
named after. He named everything up and down the coast. And they're all after people like, let's see, Mount Stevens or Smith Inlet or things like that. They're all very British kind of names and things like that. And a lot of those stuck.
06:22
But once they start looking at the First Nations map, it looks completely different. And so we start in the curriculums, what we're trying to do is teach how important it is to own the naming and the mapping of places and those skills. So we use that in here. But I also, we, or I, live in what's called Totem Pole, Nirvana. This is in Stanley Park, which is right downtown
06:47
Vancouver. There are bazillions of totem poles there. They're in front of our high schools and our civic buildings. They're in our shopping malls. Three of these were carved, they're in my little town of Sechelt, were carved by a good friend of mine, Tony Paul.
07:04
They're in our airports. How many of you have flown through Vancouver, BC ever? It is the most gorgeous airport in the world. I love going home through the airport there. It is just filled chock-a-block with great First Nations art and as well on our money. This is a very famous statue that's in the air, a copy of which is in the airport that Bill Reed, a very important Haida artist, carved.
07:27
So how did I get, I got started in this the normal way that geeks do. I started geocaching with my family. And because I was playing this game, geocaching, I had to hide some totem poles, some geocaches, and I decided to do them around totem poles.
07:45
And once I started doing that, I hid my first one. You can go find it at the barbecue, Tomahawk barbecue in West Van or North Van. There's one hidden there. I started hiding them all over the place. I got about 12 and then I realized that you had to maintain them. And I also had tons of data.
08:02
So in Vancouver alone, there are over 150 totem poles. I had no idea. You see them, but you don't see them. It's like stop signs. You see them, but you don't see them. You just go through them and get tickets. So I started thinking about ways that I could share this information with people because I wanted other people to point out new
08:24
ones to me. And I started looking at things like creating, a good friend of mine created this totem poles of Vancouver Facebook page. But there were lots of issues around this in terms of a number of, you had to be aware of where the totem pole was, whether it was on public land or private land or banned land, whether it was really something you should be sharing.
08:45
We have a lot of issues in VC with people stealing things like going to a cliff and chipping off a petroglyph because it was in the guidebook and stealing it and taking it and selling it. And this happens. So there are a lot of issues around privacy that we had when you start building maps of things. And then there
09:03
are also issues around did I really want Coffee or Crest Canada selling ads on the sites that I was posting to. And when I'm teaching this, I'm also using this lecture to teach kids about privacy. Facebook is huge in the First Nations communities. They use it like we use texting. It's everywhere.
09:29
Very few of them are really aware of who owns the photos, what they're signing up for. It's just a free service. So a lot of what I do in the teaching is talk about who owns that, make people look at the
09:41
code in the legalese and make them walk through all of that on Facebook and on Instagram and even on Twitter. So I get to teach about privacy, attribution, giving correct attribution to things, what is creative commons, how to share things, how to be accurate about this, and talk about ownership and respect.
10:01
Respect for the totem poles, for the carvers, for the memories and the stories that are being shared about the totem poles. So I really kind of started thinking about besides my geocaching fetish that I had, how did I share that information in a respectful, easy to explain
10:22
and reuse and get other people to help me build this, what I started calling this publicly accessible map of all the totem poles in the world. That were supposed to be public. So I started talking to my cohorts and started thinking about how I could use some of the new world order of technology.
10:40
You've all seen cake diagrams and the cloud technology, but to kids this is new and it's a great opportunity to teach them about some of the underpinnings of the tools that they're using. So the way that I describe Platform as a Service to them is it's sort of part of the layer cake. It is the piece that allows them to quickly deploy their applications into the cloud.
11:03
And there are many faces of that, many faces of OpenShift is the project that I choose to use and one of which is when I'm working with First Nations or folks that have to have everything behind their firewall so that we're creating a map for them to use at the Musqueam band or in Masset with a HIDTA. They want
11:20
it just accessible to them. We can deploy OpenShift Origin, the open source project, or OpenShift Online but keep it all behind firewalls. I don't sell too much OpenShift Enterprise unfortunately. So the way that I got started in this is some minimal viable projects. The first iteration of this project was a Python Django app. It was interesting, it was beautiful, very nice, great
11:48
UI, but it wasn't reproducible enough so that I couldn't hand it off to a teacher to use the next semester. So it was complicated and I would get phone calls, you know, this didn't work or I didn't apply this patch
12:01
or something like that. So I looked at using Tumblr for a little while trying to get it as easy and I landed on and then I even tried at one point using Drupal because I love Drupal, sorry, but they wouldn't take that. So I ended up using WordPress and we created a public site. So if you go to www.discover.totems.com you can see
12:24
a website that's sitting up there now and hosted. It doesn't have all of the, I think we have over a thousand data points now. It's just a few of them. It's an example site and it can get wiped out in a minute so I can do that. What we ended up using and developing was when Leaflet came out it saved my butt. I had been using a, anyone
12:46
use FeedGeorge? Remember FeedGeorge? I used FeedGeorge and it disappeared. It was a WordPress plug-in that was hosted, hosted the GeoServer, the Geospatial server and did it and they couldn't turn it into a business model so it disappeared on me one afternoon.
13:02
But Leaflet solved a lot of problems and it was very simple to use and I'll show you in a minute where the GitHub repo is for the plug-in we created and WordPress and OpenShift Online. So I'm going to stop for a minute. How am I doing for time? Good. I'm going to try and show you what I teach kids how to do.
13:24
So this is OpenShift Online and the great thing about OpenShift Online is it has a free tier. So it doesn't cost the teachers anything. The stuff stays up for as long as they want. The kids can spin up their own stuff. They just create an account on OpenShift Online and you get three free gears and I'm not trying to sell you anything. It's just great.
13:41
And if you're a non-profit, an academic or an open source project, we also have a program that you can get free hosting too. So if you're looking for that, talk to us in the booth. It's really pretty cool. My down button kind of broke this morning. So I'm going to add an application here. And this is how
14:00
quick. Oh, my session. Continue working. I'm going to continue working. Sign in. And I'm just going to type in. And I can actually get 13-year-olds to do this. So if I can get a 13-year-old to do this,
14:21
the teachers can do it. And one of the really important things that I learned was what's important here, and I love all of your geospatial servers to death. And I love hosting them on OpenShift Online. So don't get me wrong. This is app locks on.
14:48
Create an application. Give it a minute. Pray to the Wi-Fi gods. Nobody go on Wi-Fi for a minute. And it'll spin up a WordPress app. And in a few minutes, there should be something. It'll spin it up. It'll bring me right into the dashboard when it gets done.
15:06
I can configure it. Pick a theme. The kids can pick their own themes. They can do whatever they want. So the goal is not really to get them to participate in this social curation effort that I'm doing. I'm the one that's obsessed with totem poles. The goal is to get them the skills to be able to use a blog, embed some mapping in
15:26
it, understand GPS, understand what longitude and latitude is, depending on the age range, and get them involved in the idea of using social media effectively and using it without breaching privacy issues or doing it in a respectful manner.
15:43
And that's a really fun project because you go in and they're absolutely in heaven. My obsession is really with the fact that a lot of the totem poles are up and I don't know who the carvers are. I don't know what the history is behind it. And I want to know. I'm curious.
16:00
So the give back, the thing I get back is I get to go into these remote communities, teach a little workshop for a couple of days, and I hear the stories. And they share the stories with me. And it is the most awe-inspiring, amazing thing to have that information shared with you and to be able to teach some of these skills. And obviously this one is not going to come up quickly, so I'm going to just jute over here. If you go to this site here, this is the
16:29
itty-bitty little leaflet plug-in that we've written. It does two things. It embeds a map on the home page and it embeds one on each individual post.
16:43
And so I will go over to, this is one that I spun up a few minutes ago. And all they have to do, once they do it, they can pick a theme. And themes, we all know WordPress a little bit that the parents pick a theme. We suggest they use appliance because it works really nicely.
17:02
And they pick a plug-in and I have already installed it on this one. And they just did it. And Nathan Heskia is a wonderful young gentleman who is working with me on this project out of the University of Texas and has helped build this little plug-in for us. And then basically, then we had, I'm not sure if that's getting started, finished. There it is. It's done
17:29
everything for me. And I'm going to go to the application page. It's here. And give it some name.
17:47
It's up and running. And give it an email address. Okay, I know it's very weak. I don't want search
18:01
engines. And one of the things that we really quickly realized that we didn't want to use Google Maps, sorry if anyone from Google is here, is because once you put those points into the Google search engine, it becomes Google searchable. And we have such issues around privacy that we didn't want to be sharing those data points with just anybody without consent. And so it's going to install WordPress for me in a few seconds. Provide a valid username. I know it's very weak.
18:37
The one problem that I have run in using WordPress success, log in for me because I won't remember my own name with good
19:03
Wi-Fi themes. Searchable of appliance. Not seeing it. Come on babies. Well time is of essence. We're going to go back. And the
19:32
plug-in you just, we upload it from, you just add a new one, upload, choose a file, install it, activate the plug-in.
20:11
So the plug-in is now activated and I want an appearance that I actually, having fun with
20:21
appearances. Let's create appliance and it works with appliance. So that's why I was trying for that one. So I'm going to stop trying to do this here because it's really not relevant to the discussion.
20:47
Back to this side. This is the site. So basically what it does is it takes an image, puts
21:04
in another one and so that, you'd think that would be everything I needed. All right. So we got to the point where we could have these websites and everything was hunky-dory and it all worked wonderful. But I built the first website and nobody came. And I would go to the classrooms and they were
21:24
like interested but not really. They still have, they didn't even want to log in to WordPress and do that. So the thing, then what happened is I went on this wonderful field trip with my daughter who was 11 at the time to the Museum of Anthropology. And the teacher asked every kid in the classroom, she gave her a piece of paper and they had a pencil in their pack.
21:45
And they had to write two paragraphs. Right? About some object. Pick any object in this amazing place and write me two paragraphs. That's your assignment. They wouldn't do it. This is my daughter, Haley. She, what I had was this epiphany. I also had a lot of
22:01
noise on the bus. But she was using this app called Wattpad. Anybody ever heard of this one? Yeah. Wattpad is great. Wattpad. W-a-t-t-p-a-d. They were all, the whole time we were in the museum they were taking pictures and they were texting them and doing, this was pre-Snapchat and all that.
22:21
But they were constantly, you couldn't get their iPhones out of their hands and the bus everywhere. So what we did was we created a companion app to the website. And all it is really is a hack of the WordPress, their own iPhone app that we rebranded and took out a lot of the stuff so that they couldn't make their own.
22:42
And we did that. And we did the next course. And everybody went out and they had to, we got them, they still got their basic pieces there. So they had to create a Discover Totems account on the WordPress site. And then they had to take a walk around town and take a picture of something.
23:03
And then they were able to do that. If you turn on geolocation in the WordPress generic app, it grabs whatever location you're at when you're taking the picture and posts it as part of the blog post. And so very quickly we realized that having the tool, the toy, the thing
23:22
that they all loved was the thing that made this work in the classroom setting. And so we are working on the Android version of it as well at the moment. So there's two versions of the course that I teach. I teach it to kids to use to teach them. And they incorporate it into their English classes. So they have to write an essay.
23:44
So the teacher who was trying to get the kids to write two paragraphs now can get them to write tons of stuff. They can also take it out and interview their aunties and uncles to get the stories and post those stories securely inside of a hosted website for the classroom.
24:02
And it can get shared across. And we do presentations and the kids get to do presentations in front of their aunties and uncles and moms and dads and everything. And it's a great way to curate and learn about curation skills. And it's very simple to actually deploy. So the big takeaway for me on this was it's not always what you
24:22
bring into the classroom, like your skills, your laptops and your app, you know, that. It's what you leave behind. If you leave behind a very complex geospatial server that some teacher has to manage and deploy and update, it won't get used. It also won't get you invited back to teach the class again. So I've been really cognizant of
24:43
teaching so that people can get into the next semester, wipe out the database and do it again. And that's where WordPress and Leaflet and this simple technology can work. And then the next step is to do something like, if you've seen Geopas.io or something much more complex, you get them hooked.
25:03
You get them hooked on maps. You teach them the basic techniques. And it's been a whole lot of fun. It's also, I said this earlier, it's not really about my passion being totem poles. That gets me invitations to go teach and hear stories and do this. But it also teaches, they leave the classroom with the skills to create a blog, to create their own content, to
25:22
do their own social curation, whether it's about dinosaur footprints or snowboarding or, you know, mountain biking trails, whatever it is. It gives them the skills to use that effectively. At a very young age, they can start using this stuff and learning it and understanding how they can interact with it.
25:42
And it's been really a lot of fun. One of the great big fun things for me was, you're not Canadian, no, probably is, but Roy Henry Vickers is like, I don't know, Robert Montana of Canada or something like that. He's a very famous First Nations artist. I was on Twitter and I started getting slammed because
26:02
I had created a little icon for my Twitter handle for Discover Totems. I'm still using it. And he's like, you can't use that. That's like not really underneath the iconic version of how you do Haida art or everything. And this guy in an evening, like one of the most famous First Nations artists on the
26:21
planet, redesigned my logo for me and gave me permission to use it in like an afternoon. I was like, you're really Roy Henry Vickers? You're really talking to me? So I usually end this class or this talk with, where's the nearest totem pole? Does anyone have any idea? I have one that I am pretty clear of. You got it. Two points for this gentleman here.
26:46
Pioneer Square. All right. That is the closest one. It's a tinglet pole that was raised in Pioneer Square. And that is, it's in the map and I can show you that. So the Discover project is a work in progress. There's lots of things that we're still working on.
27:02
The Android app, which is just a hack of Wordpress and rebranding it. Layering it with other data sets. Is the guy from Environment Canada here? Environment Canada is just an awesome group of people and they're going to make some of their data publicly available. And one of the things we want to do is things like, why are the totem poles in the locations they are?
27:22
Like what human or natural resources are there that made people want to live way up in Haida Gwaii? Why did people end up being here? So we can start layering this data on top of it. And that's where I then have to get into something a little bit more complicated than LeafletJS and have other geospatial tools.
27:43
We're going to try and do a multi-site one so we can have all of that data being leveled up into the top site but also have one for each Indian band in BC. One click install is one of my goals for OpenShift so that they don't even have to do the appliance theme and install the Wordpress plug and better curriculum guides.
28:06
All of this stuff and anyone who's got an academic project or a non-profit or an open source project can get hosted online on openshift.com. The plug-in is available in my repo for this. I'm sure you could all probably in an instant write something just as good and better.
28:24
But if you'd like to take a look at it, I'd love contributions to it to make it even better. And you can follow us on Twitter. And that's my talk and I think I did that in exactly two minutes left.
28:41
So yes, if you have any questions or if you want to read some of the information that I brought up here, come on up and chat while I get this on. And anyone who is interested in Leaflet, I'd love some help.
