WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:14.720
Okay, so, this is the closing of the 25th custom.

00:14.720 --> 00:27.280
Some of you have been here before, so you know the joke, but I will keep making it because

00:27.280 --> 00:35.000
those are my slides.

00:35.000 --> 00:40.120
So for those who like free systems and free software, that's the main communication channel

00:40.120 --> 00:46.000
and also we are going to turn down a few of the more non-free or fescious communication

00:46.000 --> 00:48.440
channels over the next few days.

00:48.440 --> 00:57.400
So if you want to keep updated with fast them, that's the way to do it, or to just subscribe

00:57.400 --> 01:04.000
to the website we have an RSS, but this is the main way to do it, oh yeah, I almost forgot.

01:04.000 --> 01:09.120
I'm going to take the traditional picture and if you don't want to be in the picture, just

01:09.120 --> 01:12.800
put something in front of you face, if you want to be in the picture, if you free to smile

01:12.800 --> 01:21.240
or put your hand up or something, it is going to take some time because it's not very, very light

01:21.240 --> 01:30.240
in here, but I'm going to try and give you that photo basically a few minutes after the closing

01:30.240 --> 01:35.440
talk already and also this gives you some time to scan the QR code.

01:35.440 --> 01:45.160
Thank you.

01:45.160 --> 01:51.240
If you lost anything, we still have the lost and found in building K at the info desk, if

01:51.240 --> 01:56.360
you don't know where K is, A, NAFTAD4STEM.org, and also it's just straight across the parking

01:56.360 --> 02:03.420
lot, the only new building that is where you can find the info desk and we have the

02:03.420 --> 02:05.260
lost and found there.

02:05.260 --> 02:10.860
Also if you have anything which you realize you have lost after or maybe you just whatever,

02:10.860 --> 02:17.100
you can also send us email and we will try our best to reunite you with your property.

02:17.100 --> 02:23.540
If you have feedback, please do send feedback, the good, the bad, the ugly, the whatever,

02:23.540 --> 02:28.620
you will also find feedback links sprinkled throughout our website, but here you have it.

02:28.620 --> 02:32.820
As per usual, we also like good stuff, because we mainly get the bad stuff, but we do

02:32.860 --> 02:37.220
read everything even if we don't always reply.

02:37.220 --> 02:41.820
We have the 25 years and we had photos for all the different shirts which we had.

02:41.820 --> 02:47.020
We are going to make them public at some point in the future, in the soon future.

02:47.020 --> 02:49.740
So you can see all the different t-shirts and everything.

02:49.740 --> 02:56.540
This is just a small portion of that photo.

02:56.540 --> 03:02.180
Our program, again for those who might have not seen this in the opening talk, this is actually

03:02.180 --> 03:15.820
the largest open source conference on Earth.

03:15.820 --> 03:17.940
It takes a lot of work behind the scenes.

03:17.940 --> 03:22.100
There's a lot of numbers, they are just fun, like do with them what they want, they accurate,

03:22.100 --> 03:26.740
but not always useful.

03:26.740 --> 03:32.220
We actually had a little bit of a lower peak for the video, because we now have better

03:32.220 --> 03:36.740
encoding for the video streams, so we actually saved quite a bit of bandwidth.

03:36.740 --> 03:41.860
Usually we have lots more statistics for all the video stuff, but we read it the video

03:41.860 --> 03:47.980
boxes and we didn't have time to do a lot of things this year.

03:47.980 --> 03:54.380
If you are a speaker or a deafroom manager, your inbox will already be full with or depending

03:54.380 --> 03:59.740
on if you're a deafroom manager or a speaker, you will have email from us titled your

03:59.740 --> 04:05.980
first time 25 talk, titled blah, blah, blah, blah, from no replied first of all.

04:05.980 --> 04:10.540
If you have any of those emails, please do click on them and please do review the talks,

04:10.540 --> 04:18.620
you gave or you the speakers in your deafroom gave, anything you do not review as a speaker.

04:18.620 --> 04:23.020
The deafroom managers have to review anything you do not review as a speaker or a deafroom

04:23.100 --> 04:26.620
manager, staff have to review.

04:26.620 --> 04:34.700
We have over a thousand talks, it's a lot of work, so please crowdsource this one.

04:34.700 --> 04:39.580
Matrix, just a usual number, we have more people in Matrix than last year, which kind

04:39.580 --> 04:44.660
of makes sense, because for last year we were roughly at pre-pandemic levels and this

04:44.740 --> 04:50.340
first time is most certainly the largest we ever had.

04:50.340 --> 04:56.500
We sold out with our 25 year swag very, very quickly and we are sincerely sorry, we had

04:56.500 --> 05:02.180
a major mess up where we just ordered the numbers from last year instead of increasing them.

05:02.180 --> 05:08.180
We already had to fuse stuff last year when we had few visitors that's on us.

05:08.180 --> 05:13.540
We will have more stuff next year, also because this marketly improves all finances and

05:13.700 --> 05:17.060
we are going to talk finance in a second as well.

05:17.060 --> 05:27.620
You guys are hungry, you guys are also hungry.

05:27.620 --> 05:33.140
We stopped tracking the magnets, it's kind of useless at this point, because of privacy

05:33.140 --> 05:37.780
extensions and everything and having different timings on everything, but we did have

05:38.420 --> 05:43.300
almost 9,000 parallel devices just on the IPv6 only network with also plenty on the

05:43.300 --> 05:48.500
dual stack, but no one cares about IPv4 anymore, so you're only seeing the IPv4 a few six

05:48.500 --> 05:55.460
ones. If you want to make donations, the info desk can make this happen, also this is where

05:55.460 --> 06:02.020
you can donate under the year if you so choose. We sometimes hear that it's not great if you're

06:02.020 --> 06:07.700
being sponsored by large corporations or anything and some of us would even agree, yet the point

06:07.700 --> 06:11.780
is we have to pay you will be for those premises, even though they give us a major discount,

06:11.780 --> 06:16.260
we have to pay for other things like staff and volunteers are completely unpaid, but we have a lot of

06:16.260 --> 06:25.380
costs and the only way to really make this work is to donate or to get your company to sponsor.

06:25.380 --> 06:31.300
I think I have another sponsor slide later, if not, I'm just going to add lip. We have something new

06:31.300 --> 06:39.140
and potentially exciting, we are giving you the ability to nominate speakers and topics, so you see

06:39.220 --> 06:44.900
this one really awesome talk, the one thing you really like provoked thoughts in you very well

06:44.900 --> 06:49.860
like, oh, this is something which a wider audience should be aware of. So now you have the ability

06:49.860 --> 06:56.100
to basically under the year, even already send us suggestions and recommendations of stuff we can

06:56.100 --> 07:01.140
look at. We can talk to people, we have lots more time than we usually do when it's basically

07:01.140 --> 07:07.700
a month or two. So yeah, please do give us recommendation and suggestions of what you would like

07:07.700 --> 07:16.020
to see on the main stage at Foster. So there's a round of thank yous. First, let's start with

07:16.020 --> 07:40.180
the matrix or you can element teams. Then all our sponsors. Speaking of sponsors, we could use more

07:40.180 --> 07:49.300
of them. We have a brightly flashing red zero under the budget line this year. It would be good

07:49.300 --> 07:54.500
if, in particular, those who complain about mega cooperation sponsoring for them would put

07:54.500 --> 07:59.620
money where their mouth is and either donate or also consider talking to your companies internally.

08:00.340 --> 08:07.380
For those who don't know marketing departments usually close the funding planning for sponsorships

08:07.700 --> 08:13.780
for the next year in the middle of the current year. So wherever you're working at,

08:13.780 --> 08:20.180
at the latest, in June this year, your marketing department will have closed all funding planning

08:20.180 --> 08:28.100
for 2026. So if you consider to do this, do it now or maybe in a week or two, don't wait too long,

08:28.100 --> 08:33.220
because by summer it is too late. We had this happen a few times where people tried to like make this

08:33.300 --> 08:38.740
work and then it didn't. So if you're considering this, please do it more or less now in summer,

08:38.740 --> 08:46.740
it's too late. We had a total of 217 deafroom managers. Thank you.

09:03.220 --> 09:12.180
We also had 1,184 speakers.

09:33.220 --> 09:41.300
We had 174 volunteers.

10:03.300 --> 10:14.340
We also have a staffer who use a set list in the end for got to un-set list before copying this list.

10:15.940 --> 10:16.980
That's the dollar sign.

10:19.780 --> 10:22.980
We have the staff.

10:33.860 --> 10:37.860
Yeah, and we have yourself.

10:48.580 --> 10:53.700
We also still need help. Notwithstanding donations and giving talks and everything,

10:54.580 --> 11:01.380
a lot of uncounted volunteers ours also help us. If you see trash around you,

11:02.180 --> 11:08.260
welcome or congratulations. It is yours now. There are trash bins.

11:09.540 --> 11:12.820
They used to be one here, but there are some very outside, I'm certain.

11:13.940 --> 11:17.220
If you see something, please just take it with you and dispose of it.

11:17.220 --> 11:21.940
Anything which you do not like pick up as in trash lying around, some volunteer will have to do.

11:23.540 --> 11:28.260
If you have time to help with cleanup and with tear down and with everything,

11:29.220 --> 11:34.900
just come on stage after everything is over and we will assign you a group and also there's a great

11:34.900 --> 11:39.220
way to make friends and maybe you even volunteer by name next year and you have even more friends

11:39.220 --> 11:43.540
and we feed you on Friday and on Sunday. Speaking of, we are going to feed the

11:43.540 --> 11:47.140
the tear down volunteers tonight. So if you're hungry and you have some time,

11:48.260 --> 11:57.060
perfect combination. Also as a tradition, any network cable which you remove under our guidance,

11:58.820 --> 12:06.020
you can just keep if you want. Last year I had my kidneys on this year, I have my car accident.

12:06.020 --> 12:10.580
So I hope we have someone who does the dance. I don't see a voucher. I don't see a raffle. I don't

12:10.580 --> 12:19.780
see a z-show. Is there any stiffer who feels, and anyone else who wants to join the dance? It's

12:19.780 --> 12:24.420
not very hard. It's very silly. It's a little bit exhausting, but it's fun amongst above all.

12:25.380 --> 12:30.260
So while I'm just trying to guilt and shame my my co-staffers into coming on stage,

12:37.700 --> 12:46.500
I am down to hold that. I can take nine practices. Any volunteer is on or bound,

12:46.500 --> 12:53.540
more or less, unless they do the camera, but also like we used to have like 50 or more people on

12:53.620 --> 12:57.700
stage, and now everyone just looks as me totally afraid. It's really easy. Just come up and

12:57.700 --> 13:08.100
have a little bit of fun. No? No? Okay. So the history of the dance is very silly. Yeah there's.

13:24.020 --> 13:44.420
The history of the dance is very simple and silly. I mean,

13:44.420 --> 13:48.260
first of all, there's a lot of work. It's a lot less leap than one would hope for it. Everything,

13:48.260 --> 13:53.300
but also it should be fun. During the first, first of all, someone was like, oh, I've been running

13:53.300 --> 13:58.900
around all the time and basically showed how they're running around looks like, and that's what he,

13:58.900 --> 14:03.060
what he showed the others and this developed into the dance. Can you do it yourself without my guidance?

14:03.060 --> 14:07.060
You can. So just do it.

14:23.300 --> 14:38.420
That's it. Again, if you want to help, come up front and you will get something assigned,

14:38.420 --> 14:42.420
and if not, hopefully see you next year.
