As we've seen through recent events and ongoing societal issues, it's easy to stay within our comfort zones and surround ourselves with those who look like us or have similar social and economic backgrounds. However, we know that this behavior can perpetuate discrimination and inequality. As a Gandhi once said, “Be the change you want to see.” This means it's important to broaden your circle of influence and actively seek out relationships with those who don't look like you or come from the same economic circle.

The realm of data and analytics has been undergoing a profound transformation in recent years, and at the core of this revolution lies Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI's ability to process massive amounts of data at unprecedented speeds and uncover valuable insights has reshaped industries and accelerated progress across the globe. In this blog post, we explore how AI is taking over data and analytics, revolutionizing the way we gather, interpret, and utilize information.

One of the primary ways AI is revolutionizing data and analytics is through its advanced data collection capabilities. Traditionally, data collection was a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, but with AI-powered tools, data can now be gathered more efficiently, accurately, and in real-time.

In a world increasingly reliant on digital information, the ability to harness and interpret your data is a crucial aspect of maintaining a competitive edge. This is where Honeycomb Analytics comes in. We provide a comprehensive solution designed to centralize your data into a usable and reliable platform, providing analytics at your fingertips. Our system is designed to decrease the time to value for clients who need consumable data more than complex platforms and integrations. Harness the power of data analytics technology to make informed decisions quickly and modernize your business approach with a data-oriented strategy for success.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, as with most aspects of life, learning and education have had to adapt, by necessity, to remote access. In that field, Canvas-LMS (from Instructure) clearly maintains the lead position as the go-to suite for providing educational content over remote channels, be it from elementary schools up through universities and even corporate training.

Instructure does offer hosted Canvas solutions, providing turn-key access to organizations that may not have the technical staff or the same closely-held security requirements as public and private enterprises, which more likely deploy a Canvas system on local or cloud 'hardware' more directly under their control. Instructure's main support documentation describes paths to install Canvas-LMS on either MacOS (OS X) or Debian || Ubuntu-based Linux distributions. However, Canvas-LMS is a complex suite; challenging to install even for experienced Systems Administrators and Developers and requiring a narrow list of supporting framework versions that may no longer be "default" packages in the current repositories ("repos"). There are also a healthy number of un-affiliated sites with their own "how-to" on installing Canvas; but again, these are focused on Debian-based installs.

This article, though, is about the path less taken: Canvas-LMS on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. (Please watch for a future revision of this article adjusting these steps for install on either Alma or Rocky.)
