Welcome. This is just at most five minutes, a short intro to this Devroom. There
were many people who helped make this Devroom come to reality. There's Marius, Peter,
myself, Christoph, Stefan, somewhere in the audience. You can have a wave. Yeah, Diana is
not here, I think. Hans is here. Valentin is here somewhere, and Tobias will keep us on time
in the first few sessions. Oh, shit, finance. So this is the 12th time we've had an LVM
Devroom. We only skipped in 21, not sure, maybe because of loggams. It's a third time
we're running back to back with the GC Devroom. For a few years now, I've tried to give a few
pointers to people in the audience who might not be very familiar with LVM, who are interested.
This is a whole bunch of pointers on how you can get to learn a little bit more. There's
in the LVM community, we use this course as a forum for our SC discussions and so on.
We have this course which is like the IRC interactive chat. We have things like
office hours and online syncopes. It's basically a video call where office hours you talk with
one person who makes them available, typically an expert in a particular part of LVM. So if you
have questions, they make themselves available for everyone with questions, online syncopes, typically
about specific technical topics. You want to know something more about the client from that.
There's an online syncop about that. We started this during the loggams when everyone was at home,
and so everyone had an incentive to be online and still connect with people. And it grew so much
so that we now have a calendar showing everything that happens almost every day. There's a multiple
of these calls that happen. For rebreafly, if you're looking to develop a patch for LVM,
the patches get marked with. This could be a good beginner task. When I wrote the slide,
we could go. There were 281 of them. There's a getting involved page where you can find some
details. In-person events, there's many socials in many places. I have a slide on that later.
There are LVM developers meetings. There's full them. This is that room. You're all here. Thank you.
There's also outreach, Google some rough code, and companies do higher LVM developers.
There's a link there where you can find job openings. Oh, yeah. This was LVM
that room. It's a community calendar. You can find it there. As I said, there are
meetups and socials in-person, get together in many locations. This is from when I tried
then map out the socials that I knew last year. It might be useful to look around, hey,
or socials around where I live. You could even organize one yourself. There's a little bit
of guidance. Somewhere on the LVM website. Oh, yeah. I already started talking about this.
We do find that people sometimes, the first time they're trying to call in,
it's a little bit of a hurdle to get over. You might have a little social anxiety.
I just want to reassure you. It's just fine to call in, to keep quiet and say, hey, I'm just
here to listen. Absolutely fine. I'm not going to say anything else about this slide. You can
read the words later. Let's get on with our schedule. We've got a very packed schedule today
and the program committee, the volunteers who reviewed the submissions. We decided
we liked the diversity of the topics. I wanted to get a few more talks than we usually have.
It means some of the talks are pretty short. Sorry to the submitters for that.
But we've got, I think, a great program this afternoon.
There's a little live stream. I just want to say that if anyone is for everyone who's watching
this online, you can also ask questions for a talk if follow the buttons on the website.
With that, I want to hand over to our first speaker. Thank you.
Thank you.
