Yeah, welcome to the largest open source conference on Earth.
I'm going to start with the plea for help.
We fed all volunteers well yesterday night.
We are going to keep, we're going to feed them again well on Sunday night if you help with
cleanup or thinking keep on at the table which you remove under supervision.
If you want to volunteer, there's a QR code, generally speaking, there's going to be a lot
of QR codes so I can move through, so just take pictures of it if you want and keep
the cell phone at hand.
If you need help or if you don't know what to do or just anything, yellow shirts is
fast and stuff.
There are supposed to know most anything, blue shirts are deafroom organizers which basically
should know everything for the specific deafroom which they are managing, green shirts are
the video volunteers and orange shirts are the general purpose volunteers who do pretty much
everything else.
This is the layout.
There's also NF for STEM org, apparently forgot to put the QR code here but we are going
to see one on the next slide.
This will tell you where to go off note, this time we also have stands or booths in F and
in UA which is on the right hand side of you so check the stand, schedule to see what
stands are there, we have new places where you can talk to people at that stands.
If you need anything, there is an info desk, we have on an H1NK, you can get some maps,
you can get your questions answered, if you want to donate something or get a t-shirt,
we also have online mechanisms to be contacted obviously.
If you lose anything, it will make its way into K.
Again, NF for STEM org is where you find all of the information including very info
desk is, if you lose anything or if you find anything, either just give it to someone
in a yellow jacket or with a yellow shirt or go to K and if you lose it as well.
Network as a reminder, this was the first non-core networking conference ever to be IPv6
only, it's largely fixed but there's one reminder in here, this is an open network.
As such, please encrypt your traffic.
Like you don't have to fall for the VPN crazy and everything but please at least make
certain use HDPS and everything because sometimes people do bad stuff, we will find you
if you do bad stuff but until it's actually time encrypt your traffic.
Most important stuff or most important thing about fostering is the hallway track.
The rooms will be very full for those who don't know yet, oh good question, who is the
first time?
Okay, nice.
We are at capacity for this university so often times you will not be able to get into the
rooms. If you have something you really really want to watch live or really see that speaker
in person or whatever, it's a good idea to come the talk before or it may be even earlier.
This also positive cause a lot of hallway track is happening checked to people,
don't be afraid, most people here are super nice. So something sounds interesting just ask,
hey can I join this conversation? Usually answer is yes and also this thing is super awesome,
can we talk about X? Yeah, main communication channel is matrix, we also have IRC but there is no
bridge. If you don't know what matrix is, you can go to chat.fastem.org and get an account
and just register you see this in the upper left and then you can talk to everyone else.
We are also going to wipe this instance after so it's not like super long term for super long
time use which is deliberate. If you are into social media our main thing is on matrix for
probably obvious reasons. Feel invited to take a picture of this and follow if you want.
Also as is tradition by now I'm going to take a picture of the opening talk. If you want to be
on the picture raise your hands if you don't want to be just like put something in front of your
head or so both is completely fine. It's going to take me a little bit because last time I
completely fucked up this picture and the panorama next takes some time because it's not super
light in here and the human eyes are much, much better. While you're waiting as a fun fact snails
have 300,000 teeth on their tongue just in case you wondered and I wasted enough of your time to
be able to take this picture thank you very much. We have a schedule as most of you are probably
aware. We have a massive schedule. We also have a ton of mobile and desktop applications they're
all linked from here any single operating system is supported even on the Nokia N900 you can
still get the schedule. Just go there and do your thing. See a few people taking pictures okay you're done.
We keep ever growing and again this like this has already been the largest open source conference
for years and years and years and we just keep growing ever more as we get new rooms from you'll be
we have over 1000 talks in total and almost 1000 speakers maybe it's going to increase by by the end
we also have something new called lightning lightning talks one of the things I always found
weird when I joined first them initially was the lightning talks are like 15 minutes we now have
super short lightning talks which to me are the actual lightning talks and I think we still accept
submission so if you want do your thing we have a lot of their rooms you can try to read them all out
I see a few people taking pictures and we have a second page of their rooms
I'm sorry it's also all on the schedule but also now you have it on your mobile
and we have a ton of stands as you probably guessed some of them are only for one day so check
the schedule to be aware of what happens when and we have even more stands
and we also have a lot of birds of a feather session they are basically come together and you discuss
meet and discuss a topic which you care about this is fully interactive there are no talks given
no slides or anything you get a room people show up you discuss whatever topic you want to be
discussing maybe you take some notes maybe you don't maybe you have something which spins into a
project highly encourage you to if you have nothing else to do and you're like okay they
one talk is full I don't see anyone on the hallway who I recognize and know or if you're first
timer this is the definition of everyone is welcome to come join and just talk so if you're not
certain about hey I don't know anyone here there's a really good opportunity to just get to know
someone and yeah just talk we have more buffs obviously we don't have hacarooms same as last year
because we decided that you can also sit in the cafeteria or somewhere with your laptop
we don't need to provide physical infrastructure as much anymore and we just use it for different
things if you want to go to the cafeteria there is the navigation link also it's in the center
of the campus and for those who know where the old hacarooms are if there's a sign which says do
not enter that means do not enter every warning has a story etiquette please try and form
orderly cues that one thing you really really want to see really urgently everyone else in
this cue also does so please don't skip the lines or I'm so important I need to or whatever
make it orderly so people can pass by if there's like a stair or something leaves leave a gap so
people can go through it don't like block the whole thing aligned to one side towards the walls
so people can walk past you just the usual try and make it orderly also if you're if your
line is completely distangled everyone in this room is more than empowered to just say hey
everyone can we make this orderly and just get a little bit of order into the thing it just reduces
accidents it makes everything quicker for everyone else if anyone in a yellow shirt which actually
says death of course I see a few people with yellow shirt and jackets which don't say stuff
or an orange shirt tells you to please do or not do something please do so because we probably
have a reason if we run at you just go out of the way sometimes we have to run and that means
we need space if if someone yells and runs then make double space if you see someone with an orange
or a yellow shirt in the future please consider letting them skip also the flip side is like
don't push forward if you have an orange shirt there's one exception to the please rule if we
do food runs like for example for walk or knock or something we will just go towards the end of the
queue of the food stand and just skip the complete queue of course else we are going to be waiting
forever and not making a fuss them for you we have 25 years of fuss them who don't know this is
the 25th edition and last year I asked everyone to bring their t-shirts I hope you remembered we
also posted this on a few channels and everything to more there's going to be the big
photo session and also for all the photographers who volunteered to take photos show up to there
and we're going to figure something out like how you arrange and everything I did not send the email yet
but yeah and if you have t-shirts which have shrunk in the wash in inexplicably I have the same problem
just bring them and like hang them on your on your tiny belly or or given to someone else or whatever
also I'm going to do an anecdote session if you have nice anecdotes of how forced them happens like
in the background feel invited to send stories and our photos to info at like not like random stuff
but like something which is maybe not obvious to to the rest of the audience like if you gave
that one talk in this thing happened or you organized a death room 10 years ago or whatever
or something big in life changing like for example if you decided to get married because you
met someone here five years ago and whatever like those kinds of things feel more than invited
to send us email to info at fustom org and also join the session on the anecdotes
we have a treasure hunt you will find you will find signage at some around the campus and also
at the info desk and also if you scan this QR code you can join the treasure hunt
I'm told this prices I don't know what the prices are
then as accident luck would have it today is apparent de-global switch day so if you're using any
close source stuff consider switching to open source alternatives because there's a lot of good stuff
and personally speaking method on is way more chill than all the alternatives you need to sometimes
shut down people who just talk to you forever but it's overall way more chill and technical so
if you want to if you want to change to open source and get all of the grass off the mega
corpse that's one of the good ways more on etiquette if something says the room is full this means
the room is full it does not mean you specifically cause you as a special concealed squeeze
in it means the room is actually full every warning has a story please send feedback we really
like feedback we read all feedback we also take all feedback into account we don't always get to answer
all feedback to be honest cause it's just so much but if you have anything good or negative
please send it also for those who have something positive please also send it cause you always
only send the negative stuff but we appreciate the good the bad and the in-between
have been safety first and flu is real personally speaking i've been ill roughly 50% of the time
after foster i see a few people masking myself included in a few minutes we do have masks at the
info desk in k so if you forgot yours or if you decide you want to wear a mask after all we have
plenty of mask left and obviously this is optional but you keep hearing everyone cuff around you
so consider doing what you want but at least consider it and if you feel really sick it would
be appreciated if you just go back to your room even though you meditate here or maybe just wear a
mask so you don't infect others would be nice first eight if you need first eight this is
very first eight is yeah also just go to the to the info desk if you need anything we have a
code of conduct we follow the code of conduct we enforce the code of conduct if anything happens
like you can you can read this also again here are code you can send email to conduct at
foster org you can call this number any time of day plus please not three in the morning as a
joke and you can ask anyone in the yellow ideally avoid putting this onto blue orange or green
shirts ideally pick a yellow shirt or as in staff or go to the info desk there's a round of thank you
all of the volunteers and all
all the deafel managers
all speakers
and all stuff
we also have sponsors without them this one be possible we couldn't pay for renting you
will be or anything they give us a big discount but also thank you to sponsors
if you are the opinion that foster mr biggest open source event on earth and we should not be
dependent on on corporate sponsors we tend to agree you can fix this this the way
complaining on social media does not help donating and putting money where your mouth is
have more we also have t-shirts for sale so that's also a good way and finally thank you
so have fun and be excellent to each other
