The Fedora Ambassador Program is over 15 years old, and there are a variety of other outreach related teams that have developed within the Fedora Project. As things evolved over the years, the Ambassador Program declined in engagement and the other teams have ebbed and flowed. The Fedora Project has been working on a Community Outreach Revamp for the last year to clarify the various roles, modernize our activities, and provide up to date resources to the Fedora Outreach teams. Join Mariana Balla, Sumantro Mukherjee, and Marie Nordin as they guide us through these exciting changes!

![Research Days 2022: Caching Heterogeneous Stuff in Heterogeneous Places
Caching is a classic optimization technique ubiquitous both within single hosts as well as in large distributed systems like CDNs, storage systems, databases, and data center networks. Classic solutions usually involve the omnipresent Least-Recently-Used (LRU) mechanism and its derivatives. These solutions are usually workload oblivious, and changing their configuration requires expert analysis of the system and the workload.
Recent advanced caching approaches that go well beyond LRU, which are gaining popularity, are self-adjusting and exhibit improved performance in various scenarios. We are harnessing some of the underlying design concepts to present novel caching frameworks that we are currently working on. These frameworks take into account request heterogeneity, and perform proactive caching decisions (a.k.a. speculative prefetching). We will be highlighting the design of algorithms and policies that are both dynamic and self-adjusting and consider their benefits in prominent storage system use cases.
Visit the Advanced Proactive Caching for Heterogeneous Storage Systems project page[1] for more information on the project.
