LambdaTest will enable Spartans with opportunities to network with other changemakers, co-work on product innovation, and also provide a platform to share their thoughts with the world

San Francisco, Jan. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LambdaTest, the leading continuous quality testing cloud platform, has launched its community advocacy program LambdaTest Spartans. The platform will celebrate the changemakers and enable them in their pursuit to create a positive impact on the testing and QA landscape through its various initiatives.

LambdaTest Spartans will get early access to LambdaTest-led conferences, talks, and webinars – be it as a participant, speaker, or host. LambdaTest will also sponsor their travel to select conferences and offer them 10 parallel licenses to the entire LambdaTest platform, including HyperExecute, a blazing-fast smart end-to-end test execution, and orchestration offering, that they can use for their demos and projects.

Moreover, the company will help Spartans with resources to produce technical and thought leadership content and will join hands with them for product innovation given their deep domain expertise.

“LambdaTest Spartans brings together the best minds in testing and enables them with the resources to create meaningful effect on the ecosystem. Think of this as a mini close-knit community working towards impacting the larger QA world through various initiatives— high-impact webinars, well-researched thought leadership and technical blogs, thought-provoking keynotes at global conferences, and product co-innovation. We are really excited to kickstart the Spartans program,” said Manoj Kumar, Vice President-Developer Relations and Open Source Program Office, LambdaTest.

“LambdaTest Spartans gives the much-needed platform to collaborate, learn, and innovate with other builders. I am of the firm belief that the right mix of high-intent peers will enable each other to achieve their full potential. It is an incredible privilege to be a part of this amazing initiative. I look forward to deeply engaging and giving back to the community. Kudos to LambdaTest for launching the Spartans initiative,” said Pricilla Bilavendran, Team Leader, Billennium IT Services.

“LambdaTest Spartans brings together community builders who care deeply about digital experience testing and innovation. I am really excited about the possibilities as it covers a whole gamut of initiatives ranging from community-led co-innovation, webinars, talks, and everything in between. As someone who has given a lot and in return gained a lot from the testing community, joining this initiative is my way of enabling change-makers the world over. I am equally excited to learn, engage and grow with the other Spartans!” said Larry Goddard, Test Automation Architect, Oxford University Press.

MONACO, Jan. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Monaco Energy Boat Challenge is back. The annual meeting for alternative energy sources, taking place 3-8 July in Monaco, will welcome newcomers, some unusual projects and new initiatives to celebrate the 10th anniversary. The contestants will be divided in 3 emblematic categories: Solar Class, Open Class and Energy Class, the latter having closed registrations. After ten years in existence, early innovations have already progressed to marketable products, paving the way towards a more responsible future for the environment in terms of energy. “Faced with the climate emergency, it is imperative that living proof of progress replaces promises,” says HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, “to guarantee and pass on a quality legacy to future generations.”

While contestants in the Open Sea and Solar classes still have time to refine their applications, those accepted for the Energy Class have just been revealed. For this edition, 15 universities, two industry teams and ten nationalities will be lining up on the start for the Energy Class. A total of 17 teams that have been approved by the technical committee who examined the dossiers of 19 applications with a tooth comb.

Those given the green light include newcomers like Aritra from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras for its hybrid hydrogen-battery propulsion project, with the idea of adding a wave energy capture system using regenerative suspension in the future. Alongside them the Sea Sakthi team from Kumaraguru College of Technology, India, will be competing for the second consecutive year. Also new to the contest are two new Italian teams from Genoa and Messina, and a new French and German team. There are nine hydrogen projects in this class, launched 2018 by YCM which supplies the teams with a one design catamaran hull. It requires all the ingenuity of participants to design the cockpit and the most efficient and enduring propulsion system, using renewable energy sources of their choice, all from a given quantity of energy (10kWh maximum stored on board).

Looking forward to the initiative, a new corporate Mentoring Program will start in February through the 8th July for teams who can benefit from bespoke support. Set up to strengthen ties between the yachting industry and the university teams competing, this initiative enables experts in the sector to give participants targeted advice specific to their project and objectives. The program complements the now well-established Job Forum that puts industry professionals into contact with talented future yachting engineers, an initiative that positions yachting as a generator of jobs.

Organised by Yacht Club de Monaco in partnership with Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, and support of Credit Suisse, BMW, SBM Offshore and shipyard Oceanco, the event is under the aegis of Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting. For the first time, YCM is joined by MarineShift360 so contestants can measure and manage their boat’s impact on the environment.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ResMed (NYSE: RMD, ASX: RMD) today announced ResMed’s board of directors has appointed chief executive officer Michael (“Mick”) Farrell as chair of the board, effective January 25, 2023. Mr. Farrell succeeds current chair Peter Farrell who will become chair emeritus and will remain an active board member.

Mick Farrell became ResMed’s CEO on March 1, 2013, and has served as a member of the company’s board of directors since assuming that role.

“I am honored to expand my role with ResMed as its next chair and to succeed my dad, Peter Farrell, whose vision, leadership, and guidance have helped ResMed become the largest outside-hospital, digital health company in the world,” said Mick Farrell. “I look forward to working with and leading our strong, diverse, and talented board in continued value creation for stockholders and all our stakeholders.”

Peter Farrell

“I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to lead ResMed and its board over the past many years,” said Peter Farrell. “ResMed is on a clear growth path with strategic priorities intact; it’s the right time for me to step aside and reduce my commitments as chair so I can devote more time to other boards and philanthropic interests. I will remain an active ResMed board member as chair emeritus and will continue to work closely with Mick, ResMed management, and the board as a steward of ResMed’s strategy, innovation, and culture.”

“I’d like to thank Peter for his leadership and many contributions to ResMed over the years,” said Ron Taylor, ResMed’s lead independent director and chair of the nominating and governance committee. “We’re pleased to welcome Mick to the board chair position. Over the past 10 years, the board and I have worked closely with and observed Mick in his role as director and as CEO. Under Mick’s leadership of ResMed these last 10 years, we have seen the market capitalization of the company grow from $6 billion to over $30 billion, delivering a total shareholder return of 507% or 20.0% average annual growth in value over that same period; an excellent return for all our stakeholders. We believe Mick has the right skills and experience, and he has been effective in setting the board agenda, encouraging debate, and connecting the board with management for many years. Combining the chair and CEO roles will allow for streamlining and efficiency and is aligned with the structure held by many of our peers on the S&P 500.¹ I look forward to working with Mick and the rest of the board as we support the company in reaching its goal of changing the lives of 250 million people in 2025.”

¹ Over 40% of the S&P 500 companies combine the chair and CEO roles, including 11 of the 14 other healthcare equipment companies in the S&P 500.
