[595.24 --> 599.08] I came and went three times during the course of that, like six hours. |
[599.16 --> 600.36] You did come back. |
[601.98 --> 603.36] So yes, that was, I agree. |
[603.42 --> 604.72] That was the longest dinner ever. |
[605.14 --> 607.52] And every time I was surprised to see you there. |
[608.90 --> 610.30] Like you haven't bailed yet. |
[611.62 --> 616.04] So I mentioned the women who go dinner and that reminds me to talk about this. |
[616.22 --> 620.94] Um, we're definitely going to get to the talks and other things, but I want to mention |
[620.94 --> 625.38] about the diversity efforts and how many women were there. |
[625.62 --> 629.16] I think it's safe to say that we had about 60 women. |
[629.28 --> 631.70] You guys can correct me at the conference. |
[631.84 --> 636.94] It was, uh, it was no, this year was the first year that it was noticeable that there were |
[636.94 --> 638.20] women at the conference. |
[638.20 --> 646.18] And there was such a big effort to increase the number of people with, from diverse backgrounds |
[646.18 --> 649.46] with the, uh, scholarships that we had. |
[649.54 --> 654.70] And I also realized some people didn't, who didn't go, who could have applied, didn't know |
[654.70 --> 655.24] about it. |
[655.24 --> 659.68] So heads up for next year is probably going to be a thing every year. |
[660.14 --> 667.70] So, uh, we have the conference and other organizations have funds to send people who wouldn't otherwise |
[667.70 --> 668.44] not be able to go. |
[668.68 --> 670.60] So make sure you keep an eye on that and apply. |
[671.24 --> 678.56] Uh, so we, from those applications, we got a bunch of people and the, the women who go |
[678.56 --> 682.24] dinner with specced, I think there were 50 women there. |
[683.02 --> 685.74] Uh, we got a nice gift from Azure. |
[686.06 --> 691.96] So the power charger thing, a portable charger, which it's not a flask. |
[692.52 --> 694.86] Shaw, it's an actual charger. |
[695.44 --> 696.98] No alcohol involved. |
[697.36 --> 699.00] It's not that kind of charger. |
[699.56 --> 701.64] Although that would have been welcome for me too. |
[702.22 --> 705.84] Uh, now that I think about it, I think I'm going to fix that problem. |
[705.84 --> 707.14] Cause I don't have a flask anyway. |
[707.74 --> 714.82] Uh, so, and we had also the buddy system like there was before and people who have gone |
[714.82 --> 719.82] to the conference can sign up to be a guide and people who had never been to the conference |
[719.82 --> 721.56] can sign up to be a buddy. |
[721.88 --> 723.72] And we had a nice breakfast. |
[723.92 --> 728.98] Andy Walker led that effort and he did such a great job and we got beautiful pins. |
[729.80 --> 731.54] And, um, so we had a breakfast. |
[731.54 --> 736.12] I got to meet, meet a bunch of people who I'd never heard of before. |
[736.12 --> 739.64] And some who I heard of online, but never met in person. |
[739.86 --> 741.10] It was beautiful. |
[741.88 --> 745.26] And it was great to see those people mingling in the conference as well. |
[745.66 --> 746.72] Uh, what else? |
[747.06 --> 749.22] You know, international travel too. |
[749.40 --> 754.86] I was really, so each year we know there's like a large number of countries represented. |
[755.06 --> 758.74] I want to say this year was like 33 or something like that. |
[758.74 --> 763.74] And so I know the number of countries, but, um, at the beginning when Brian and I were |
[763.74 --> 769.20] doing like the welcome notes and like, I asked everybody to kind of sit down based on location |
[769.20 --> 771.50] and we got to the international people. |
[771.66 --> 774.62] I, I was not expecting that many people to still be standing. |
[774.78 --> 775.22] Yeah. |
[775.42 --> 777.58] Blown away by the international travel. |
[778.28 --> 782.08] So that's, it's a long flight to, uh, Denver. |
[782.58 --> 783.08] Yeah. |
[783.10 --> 787.38] We had a lot of, uh, international scholarship recipients. |
[787.38 --> 791.52] Uh, we had people from Brazil, from India, which was really cool. |
[792.34 --> 796.88] Oh, Nathan Youngman and the Slack channel, uh, brought up a good point too. |
[796.98 --> 802.14] At the very end, um, of the conference, we always have like leftover swag and stuff and |
[802.14 --> 803.08] we usually donate it. |
[803.54 --> 809.74] And, uh, this year, um, we decided to sell it to start pre-funding next year's diversity |
[809.74 --> 810.34] initiatives. |
[810.34 --> 813.98] And now I wish I had written down that figure. |
[814.70 --> 815.44] Um, exactly. |
[815.44 --> 816.70] It was over 12,000. |
[816.94 --> 820.92] Yeah, it was 12,000 and some change, um, that we raised already. |
[821.34 --> 822.32] So that's awesome. |
[823.08 --> 825.34] That is, that's a really good seed for next year's diversity. |
[826.12 --> 827.10] So amazing. |
[827.96 --> 828.94] Thank you everyone. |
[828.94 --> 834.68] So speaking of Nathan Youngman, my, one of the most memorable moments of the conference |
[834.68 --> 840.86] was on the workshop day when I walked around a corner and I saw some really skinny Alton |
[840.86 --> 843.98] Brown looking guy standing at the water cooler. |
[844.30 --> 847.70] And it, I did a full on cartoon double take. |
[847.86 --> 850.42] And a moment later I said, is that you, Nathan? |
[850.98 --> 852.52] He has lost so much weight. |
[852.56 --> 853.28] It looks fantastic. |
[853.28 --> 857.92] I think we all need to give him a big round of applause for kicking ass and taking names |
[857.92 --> 858.96] and getting healthy. |
[859.36 --> 860.48] Nobody recognized him. |
[861.00 --> 863.26] It was, it was completely amazing. |
[863.72 --> 865.74] So good, good job getting healthy. |
[865.80 --> 868.78] Nathan, you've actually inspired me since go for con. |
[868.88 --> 871.46] I've lost 21 pounds because you inspired me. |
[872.24 --> 872.68] Yes. |
[873.24 --> 874.22] And you know what? |
[874.28 --> 875.68] Uh, I had same reaction. |
[875.78 --> 877.06] I had to do a double take with Nathan. |
[877.20 --> 879.52] I was like, Oh, because I had seen his pictures on Twitter. |
[879.52 --> 880.64] I knew he had lost weight. |
[880.70 --> 883.06] So I was prepared to, to, to see that. |
[883.06 --> 884.88] But, but I still had to do a double take. |
[885.60 --> 890.42] And, um, I mentioned on Twitter and I've been very loose about it. |
[890.50 --> 895.24] I think we, we should get together people who want to have a health goal for next go for |
[895.24 --> 901.06] con to lose 10 pounds or 20 pounds or rich, rich. |
[901.06 --> 907.18] Like, uh, I want to lift, you know, this amount of weight or anything we should get together. |
[907.98 --> 911.16] And, uh, you know, it's just motivate each other. |
[911.16 --> 917.32] So somebody, I don't know what to do to, to gather people around this, uh, efforts. |
[917.80 --> 923.50] Uh, I don't necessarily have the time to lead and, and come up with a plan, but if somebody |
[923.50 --> 926.40] wants to do it, I definitely have a health goal for next year. |
[926.40 --> 928.48] Um, I'm be willing to do it. |
[928.94 --> 931.38] So there, that's good. |
