[00:00.000 --> 00:11.480] We are now slowly counting down to 9 a.m. Please take this opportunity to rustle any [00:11.480 --> 00:16.600] plastic that may be around your muffin before we get started. [00:16.600 --> 00:20.440] You can also rustle your plastic around the muffin during the sessions I have been told [00:20.440 --> 00:22.440] and it will all be okay. [00:22.440 --> 00:25.240] All right. [00:25.240 --> 00:29.680] A wonderful good morning and happy time zone for those who may be tuning in from elsewhere [00:29.680 --> 00:34.960] in the world on the live stream and welcome to the community Dev Room for Fosdham 2023. [00:34.960 --> 00:36.280] My name is Leslie Hawthorne. [00:36.280 --> 00:41.840] I am very proud to be one of the co-organizers of the community Dev Room along with Laura [00:41.840 --> 00:47.200] Chikowsky right there and Shirley Bales who is at the back. [00:47.200 --> 00:51.040] We would also like to express our sincere thanks to our additional members of our program [00:51.040 --> 00:55.520] committee this year, Samson Goody and Claire Dillon who helped us to review the submissions [00:55.520 --> 00:57.240] to the Dev Room. [00:57.240 --> 01:00.520] Just a few housekeeping remarks before we get started for our day. [01:00.520 --> 01:04.200] We will have refreshments available throughout the day as long as they last. [01:04.200 --> 01:08.120] For the baked goods, the vegan baked goods are marked with a dark colored ribbon and [01:08.120 --> 01:12.640] the vegetarian baked goods are marked with a light colored ribbon. [01:12.640 --> 01:18.120] And the community Dev Room is thankful to the Free Software Foundation Europe and the [01:18.120 --> 01:22.160] folks running the legal and policy Dev Room for providing us with air filtration for our [01:22.160 --> 01:23.160] Dev Room today. [01:23.160 --> 01:27.000] They were kind enough to leave their machines behind for us to use. [01:27.000 --> 01:30.840] If you are not feeling well, obviously please mask. [01:30.840 --> 01:35.520] We have several masks available if you need one and they are the kind that allow you to [01:35.520 --> 01:39.160] have a little bit more ease with respiration throughout the day if that is a challenge [01:39.160 --> 01:41.000] for you. [01:41.000 --> 01:44.760] Our community Dev Room is run under the FOSDEM code of conduct. [01:44.760 --> 01:48.120] If there are any concerns that you have during your time in the Dev Room today, please feel [01:48.120 --> 01:53.680] free to see me in person or to reach out to conduct at FOSDEM.org. [01:53.680 --> 01:58.720] There is also a phone number on the FOSDEM website for reaching out for code of conduct [01:58.720 --> 01:59.720] questions. [01:59.720 --> 02:03.480] Sadly, I don't have it available right this moment in time, but you will find it on the [02:03.480 --> 02:08.200] FOSDEM.org site. [02:08.200 --> 02:12.000] I think that's about it other than to say I'm really excited that we can all finally be [02:12.000 --> 02:16.480] back together in person for this event and I'm really glad you're all here. [02:16.480 --> 02:20.320] So thank you and thank you to those folks joining us from the live stream. [02:20.320 --> 02:22.800] We're going to have a number of talks today. [02:22.800 --> 02:27.880] I won't be introducing speakers in between each session, but we will have brief housekeeping [02:27.880 --> 02:32.400] remarks throughout the day as the room fills up. [02:32.400 --> 02:35.640] And we have three minutes before Matt is supposed to get started. [02:35.640 --> 02:41.000] So for folks who may be tuning into the live stream, we will now need to be entertaining [02:41.000 --> 02:42.560] for the next three minutes. [02:42.560 --> 02:45.720] Matt, are you entertaining? [02:45.720 --> 02:48.440] I can be very entertaining if you need to be. [02:48.440 --> 02:49.440] Excellent. [02:49.440 --> 02:50.440] Well, let's try it. [02:50.440 --> 02:55.560] I don't have any ferns for us to sit between two ferns, but what is our topic du jour, [02:55.560 --> 02:56.560] sir? [02:56.560 --> 03:00.640] Today I'm going to be talking about external evangelists and how to build external evangelists. [03:00.640 --> 03:01.640] Okay. [03:01.640 --> 03:04.640] Well, we all like it when people want to talk about how cool our things are. [03:04.640 --> 03:09.280] So I think Matt's advice will be deeply fulfilling to us and useful in our quest. [03:09.280 --> 03:12.320] I'm so glad that the streams are live. [03:12.320 --> 03:15.720] Do we get the little wink-a-wink-a cat in here? [03:15.720 --> 03:22.480] No, you can't be, it's only the slides up, but so if you want to, I'd like to... [03:22.480 --> 03:23.480] Hi, everybody. [03:23.480 --> 03:24.480] Well, that's excellent. [03:24.480 --> 03:30.520] If you're going to do anything embarrassing, do it over here where you're off-camera and [03:30.520 --> 03:37.520] there will be no photojournalistic evidence of the situation. [03:37.520 --> 03:40.600] We could play ask the audience awkward questions. [03:40.600 --> 03:41.600] We could do that. [03:41.600 --> 03:44.240] We could do karaoke just to annoy my friend Brian. [03:44.240 --> 03:45.240] Yeah. [03:45.240 --> 03:46.840] How many people went out drinking last night? [03:46.840 --> 03:47.840] No. [03:47.840 --> 03:48.840] No. [03:48.840 --> 03:52.320] That's right because that's the correct answer because everyone who did isn't here yet. [03:52.320 --> 03:53.320] Yes. [03:53.320 --> 03:57.080] I was going to say we here in the community of Devereux Valley were responsible morning [03:57.080 --> 03:59.080] start where you're not feeling ill. [03:59.080 --> 04:00.080] Yes. [04:00.080 --> 04:03.880] When we go to sit with our fellow humans in community. [04:03.880 --> 04:07.320] You know, it was funny though because last night I was seeing so many people, I want [04:07.320 --> 04:08.320] to see you do this talk. [04:08.320 --> 04:09.320] It sounds good, sounds good. [04:09.320 --> 04:11.840] And I'm like, oh yeah, it's at night and they're like, I'm not going to go. [04:11.840 --> 04:12.840] That's cool. [04:12.840 --> 04:13.840] I know. [04:14.440 --> 04:15.440] It is. [04:15.440 --> 04:21.320] I, you know, we do attempt to bribe folks to arrive early with snacks. [04:21.320 --> 04:22.960] But I didn't know that. [04:22.960 --> 04:23.960] I didn't know that. [04:23.960 --> 04:26.720] So maybe we need to do more advertising on the snacks. [04:26.720 --> 04:27.720] Well, I see. [04:27.720 --> 04:28.720] Commercial? [04:28.720 --> 04:31.720] Can we do a commercial? [04:31.720 --> 04:35.040] Ladies and gentlemen, please eat snacks. [04:35.040 --> 04:39.760] Everyone is welcome here and that's why there are delicious vegan vegetarian treats. [04:39.760 --> 04:42.760] Oh my goodness, that's fantastic. [04:42.760 --> 04:51.040] Thank you to our spokesmodel, Scotty, who organizes the Frostcon conference. [04:51.040 --> 04:55.880] It's basically Fosden, but it happens in Germany right outside the town of Bonn where I live. [04:55.880 --> 04:56.880] Please come visit us. [04:56.880 --> 04:59.440] It's very nice there. [04:59.440 --> 05:04.720] It's the small town in Germany that starts with a B, so it's very chill there. [05:04.720 --> 05:09.560] We don't have the cool disco tech like Berlin, but we do have a very beautiful park, so you [05:09.560 --> 05:11.960] should come and join us. [05:11.960 --> 05:13.800] We promise you long walks along the Rhine.
