[00:00.000 --> 00:19.240]  Okay. So, hi, everyone. Good morning. This is so awesome. Welcome to the Kotlin Dev Room
[00:19.240 --> 00:29.120]  at FOSDEM 2023. Well, it's been two long years since we saw us in person. I still remember
[00:29.120 --> 00:36.800]  when we had the first Kotlin Dev Room in 2020 and, like, not as many people as today, like,
[00:36.800 --> 00:41.920]  literally, I'm impressed. Like, I think we had a bigger room and way less people, which was like,
[00:41.920 --> 00:48.040]  I don't know how many people will actually show up. But, yeah, today we are so many and, again,
[00:48.040 --> 00:56.320]  super excited to get this kicked off. And as we get this kicked off, well, I want to give
[00:56.320 --> 01:03.000]  out, like, a little bit of stats. First, I'm so proud to share that this year we received so
[01:03.000 --> 01:11.200]  many proposals for talks. We actually received more proposals than the Go Dev Room, than the
[01:11.200 --> 01:29.200]  Rust Dev Room, than the JavaScript Dev Room, which is happening tomorrow in the same Dev Room. And,
[01:29.200 --> 01:34.440]  by the way, like, if you're so much into Kotlin, make sure you don't miss tomorrow's JavaScript
[01:34.440 --> 01:42.000]  Dev Room opening talk by Luis. I don't know. Is Luis in the room today? He's finishing his
[01:42.000 --> 01:48.080]  slides. But, yeah, he will open the JavaScript Dev Room, speaking out a ditched JavaScript
[01:48.080 --> 01:53.520]  for Kotlin. So you definitely don't want to miss that. And so, like, a couple of other interesting
[01:53.520 --> 02:01.640]  talks about Kotlin also in the friends of the open JDK Dev Room tomorrow. So, check the agenda.
[02:01.640 --> 02:07.480]  There are, like, a lot of interesting content. So, back to the people to thank. Well, first,
[02:07.480 --> 02:22.920]  I want to give a big shout out to the Dev Room managers. So, thank you. It's me, Martin, Sergei,
[02:22.920 --> 02:29.760]  which is there, Olga and Marco. And we do these in our free time. Like, we don't get paid for that.
[02:29.760 --> 02:36.280]  And it's just, like, it's so awesome to get in touch with the community and hear your stories,
[02:36.280 --> 02:43.240]  connect with you. And, well, thanks for showing up and coming. I want to say thank you to
[02:43.240 --> 02:51.560]  Jabrains for supporting us. So, every speaker today will get a t-shirt. Plus, we do have some
[02:51.560 --> 03:00.600]  stickers and stuff to give away. So, stay tuned. But, yeah, Jabrains is supporting us in organizing
[03:00.600 --> 03:07.760]  this Dev Room. And I want to say thank you to the speakers, which prepared content and, yeah,
[03:07.760 --> 03:19.000]  just made the Dev Room possible. So, thank you very much. And, yeah, now back to Martin.
[03:19.000 --> 03:28.360]  So, we have a packed agenda for today with more than 15 talks. There is no, sorry, I do not get
[03:28.360 --> 03:33.880]  this good. Yeah. This is the agenda. So, it's available online. You can go on the FOSDEM website.
[03:33.880 --> 03:41.760]  You also have an Android app. I'm not sure about an iOS app. I think some, there is, okay. So,
[03:41.760 --> 03:46.800]  you have apps. Make sure to check it out. We have a lot of content today. And there is no
[03:46.800 --> 03:54.560]  lunch break at all. So, you have to organize yourself to just decide what you want to do or
[03:54.560 --> 03:59.360]  just bring some sandwiches. Or you can eat some waffles, too, if you want. We have free waffles.
[03:59.360 --> 04:07.120]  That's it. If you want more Kotlin, as Nico said, there is a talk tomorrow in the JavaScript.
[04:07.120 --> 04:13.880]  I mean, you have a lot of Kotlin content today and tomorrow. If you want to discuss more and have
[04:13.880 --> 04:20.760]  some beers, we meet tonight at the GIST. It's in the center of Brussels. The address is not here,
[04:20.760 --> 04:25.960]  but you can look it up on Google. And let's meet there. Just when the dev room closes,
[04:25.960 --> 04:33.520]  we will go there. We can meet or just meet directly there at 8 p.m. Am I doing this one?
[04:33.520 --> 04:36.000]  I think you're doing this one? Or am I doing, I think I'm doing this one.
[04:36.000 --> 04:46.360]  All right. So, like the last years, we will have a live chat on Slack. If you are not on Slack,
[04:46.360 --> 04:52.440]  give me a shout. Or we will have links on here. I think, Nico, you prepared. Deeplings.
[04:52.440 --> 05:02.160]  Pingas there. There's the Fostum room. This is, I think, the Deepling to Slack room itself. If
[05:02.160 --> 05:08.560]  you are not signed up yet, for whatever reason, use this link. Ask me if you need it again and
[05:08.560 --> 05:14.520]  you can't take a picture right now. And this is also a good place to be because, as Nico already
[05:14.520 --> 05:21.760]  said, we do have a couple of giveaways. Thanks to JetBrains, we have, I think, three licenses
[05:21.760 --> 05:28.200]  to give away. How this works, I will let you know on the Slack and on Twitter and on Mastodon.
[05:28.200 --> 05:34.800]  Yeah, essentially, so keep an eye on there. Ask me how this works. Essentially, if you ping me
[05:34.800 --> 05:42.240]  there, if you treat a post, if you two to post a picture or something. I will see you put on the
[05:42.240 --> 05:49.400]  hashtag Fostum Kotlin 23 or Fostum for 23, something like that. I will let you know. And you can
[05:49.400 --> 05:55.520]  win this one at the end of the day. I wanted to say the year would be quite a long time. I think
[05:55.520 --> 06:00.720]  that's it from my end. If you have any questions around this, approach me. I will be some there
[06:00.720 --> 06:10.200]  here or close to the coffee. Okay, fine. Yeah, prepared as always. Thank you so much for coming.
[06:10.200 --> 06:24.680]  Yeah. We will, yes, we will do. Good point. Yeah, here we go. Better. Excellent. Right,
[06:24.680 --> 06:33.480]  so then enjoy the day, have fun, network, speak to each other, cold, whatever. Enjoy.
