Now, I will go ahead and welcome to the community
Deverem folks for 2025 and welcome to everyone who may be watching us on the live stream
or on video later.
My name is Leslie Hawthorne and along with my dear colleague,
Lord Chikowski and Shirley Bale.
We have happily been bringing the community Deverem
to Fazdom since 2016.
We're excited to be back again this year.
Things you probably already know,
but it is always best to be explicit and not make assumptions.
The Fazdom community Deverem is operating under the Fazdom Code of Conduct.
If you have any concerns that are related to Code of Conduct or you need support,
you can always email Conduct at Fazdom.org.
There is also a phone number that you can ring if you need help
and if there are any concerns that you have in the Deverem
regarding your psychological safety security et cetera,
you can come and see me and I will be happy to assist you.
That was very, very short and we have four more minutes to wait
until they are ready to take a video of Daniel's talk.
This is a great time to talk to you about the Snacks again
because I am obsessed with Snacks.
On the table here you will see on the left-hand side
delicious gummy candies from our friends at Haribo.
There is also bags of what I would call an America trail mix,
which is a fruit and nut mix.
And interestingly enough, now that I live in Germany,
this is called student and footer.
Which means student food but when you go to the petting zoo
and you get the little turn the machine and you get the little goat pellets
that's footer.
So apparently students are cute little animals that we must make keep well fed
that they grow in knowledge.
We also have some noppers which are a delicious way for a cookie thing
and you should eat those too.
I have wasted another minute.
Excellent.
I should come up with something else clever to say.
I've got nothing.
Why don't we take some ideas from the audience?
Who is there?
Hello.
You have a question or do you just want to?
I have just to say not to open and close the tables
so I will present things because it's not.
This is an excellent suggestion.
If you could refrain from opening and closing the desk
at a table top in front of you while people are presenting,
that would be wonderful because it is loud.
Now it would be an excellent time to open the rattley
rattley plastic wrap around your snack
because this is also loud.
As an American, I am also loud.
There are many loud things in the devroom
but there is a time in a place for all things that are loud.
How many people this is your first time coming to the community
devroom?
Oh, that is so cool.
Welcome everyone.
Thank you for coming.
How many have then to the community devroom
more than twice?
More than twice?
More than four times?
More than five times?
More than six times?
Wow, OK, Ben?
Ben, Ben, my dear friend who has a very dedicated soul
who has been to six community devrooms.
Thank you, Ben.
I would like to keep you coming back here after a year.
So I will now segue into the introduction of...
