1 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:22,080 All righty. Well. Thank you all, so much, for being part of this 12th PyCon Australia.  2 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:29,520 But we're not done yet. We have some great social events tomorrow, including karaoke,  3 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,480 lightning talks, video games, some RPG one shot sessions.  4 00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:42,160 Check those out on the Sunday page of the program on our website. For now,  5 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:49,520 I need to thank some people who made this event possible. I want to thank our sponsors,  6 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:59,920 we couldn't have made this event as accessible to as many people as it has been. Thank you to WSP  7 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:07,360 and Canva. Google Cloud and octopus energy and all our wonderful digital sponsors. 8 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:16,160 We couldn't do this without the continued support of the PSF and Linux Australia. Thank you so much  9 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:23,280 to our media partners, Ryan Verner from Next Day Video and cTrix for getting us all on to  10 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:33,600 everyone's screen. I'd like to welcome Sae Ra Germaine from Linux Australia, with a few words. 11 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:40,480 SAE RA GERMAINE: Hi, folks. Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that I'm coming to you from the  12 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:47,120 lands of the [Indiscernible] and I'd like to pay respects to elders past, present and emerging. 13 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,840 Wow, what an amazing conference it's been. I'm Sae Ra Germaine and I'm here as the president of Linux  14 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:09,520 Australia. It has about 5,000 members and we're here to represent users and developers of free  15 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,440 and open technologies. Linux Australia are proud sponsors of many conferences, including this one.  16 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:24,960 PyCon has always had a special place in our heart. I would like  17 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,240 to say thanks to all of our volunteers, but a specific thanks to our core team.  18 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,360 This core team have come together to bring you this magnificent conference  19 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,480 and despite lockdowns, it has been so amazing to see this team rally and support each other. 20 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:47,520 I know firsthand that running a conference, especially during a pandemic and to add that to,  21 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:54,480 online, is no easy task. This team has spent all of their spare time organizing this for you and I,  22 00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:00,320 for one, really do appreciate it. Some of you are even helping run a second conference that is LCA. 23 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,760 I want to thank each and every one of these individuals for their tireless efforts.  24 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,280 Without this dedicated team, this conference wouldn't have happened. They've managed vendors,  25 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,200 sponsors, speakers, volunteers, bank accounts, our treasurer.  26 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:40,880 So everyone, please join me in thanking Benno Rice, Cintia, Neil and Ryan Verner. And  27 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:49,120 these three, the director triforce and I think that's an absolutely amazing name.  28 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:58,000 These three have given the conference their all, their blood, their sweat and their tears  29 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,840 into making sure that this conference is the best experience you could possibly have. 30 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,400 If I was onsite, I would probably start with a standing ovation for these three. In lieu of that,  31 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:19,280 please join me in applausing Richard Jones, Katie McLaughlin and Jack Skinner. Thank you. 32 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:34,160 RICHARD JONES: Thank you, Sae Ra, for that. In December last year, we realized the pandemic had  33 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,640 an ongoing, high probability of disrupting an in person event and well, here we are.  34 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:50,640 We still dearly wish for [Indiscernible] to get her in person event so a substitute team stepped  35 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:57,760 up, a triforce, if you will. We talked through our options for what the event would look like and in  36 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:04,880 the end, tweaked the formula a little from last year. Kind of hoping to support viewing parties.  37 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,840 Little did we know that even that option would be off the table.  38 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,800 I am sad that we didn't get to see those parties happen but I am truly proud of the event we've.  39 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:34,480 A PyCon conference has had live captioning. Speakers, you are all amazing, thank you. 40 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,720 This event has only happened because of the support of almost  41 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,960 40 volunteers from the community.  42 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,000 Thank you, again, to all of our specialist track organizers. It's been such a delight to hand you  43 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,120 a blank slate on yesterday's schedule and see the wonderful content that you've put together.  44 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,720 We've had the most wonderful, dedicated people run the specialist tracks this year. 45 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,600 Ryan, Christopher and the AV team have provided our speakers with tech checks  46 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,200 so they look and sound way better than your average Zoom call and our prerecorded talks  47 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:26,560 went through a vigorous QA process. I've just had word from backstage  48 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,640 that some videos have already been published online, thanks to Next Day Video's online work. 49 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,440 Thank you to everyone who's been behind the scenes of the production. Without you, the event  50 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:58,320 would never have run so smoothly yesterday and today. And thanks to the folks who helped review  51 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,760 and then select the program from all the wonderful talk proposals we received. 52 00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:12,480 There are so many people that go into making every PyCon AU into a reality.  53 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:22,720 PyCon AU wouldn't be what it is without the community. Everyone here is part of the reason  54 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:30,720 we dedicate our time putting this together so I want to thank every one of the over 600 people  55 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,240 for fulfilling the PyCon AU community dream. So, with that said,  56 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:47,280 the conference part of PyConline, that's over for another year, but the event isn't.  57 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:54,160 Tonight, we have an organized Zoom call. We can all join and our host, Cintia,  58 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,760 will help organize breakout rooms so the huge number of attendees isn't completely overwhelming. 59 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,440 So that brings me to tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day of silliness,  60 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:15,440 socializing and maybe some typey typey of making the codes. If you haven't checked out the details  61 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:22,320 on the Sunday schedule page, please do so now. We have lightning talks hosted by Chris Neugebauer  62 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:29,760 and Libby Berrie. We have sprints and games and video games and one shot role playing sessions. 63 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,680 After tomorrow, PyConline AU is over for another year and like always,  64 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:44,880 we close on this, what's next? We'll have more to share on that around the start of next year.  65 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:52,640 I'd love to have an in person event, if the world lets us, but whether it's in Adelaide or online,  66 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:59,360 we'll be coming together again in 2022. So, thank you, all, for making yesterday  67 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,360 and today a wonderful success and we'll all see you tomorrow for the lightning talks and various  68 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:13,760 social activities. And we'll see you next year. Finally, thank you so much to my core team.  69 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,840 I'd like to thank them I'd like them to join me now, on stream. 70 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:33,680 There they are. Yes! Oh, my lordy, what a wonderful bunch of people Russ, thank you  71 00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:39,680 for staying on for yet another year, making sure that the conference stays enough in the positive  72 00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:45,840 numbers, I can't remember if they were red or black, to ensure there can still be a next one. 73 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,960 Benno, even though it was an incredibly tough year for you  74 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:57,360 to find the time and energy, you still joined us and helped make the program amazing. 75 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,480 Cintia, thank you for stepping up and organize the events. 76 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,440 Mike, thank you for taking on the task of herding all the cats behind the scenes.  77 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,520 Wrangling all the production volunteers, keeping everything running on time and routing problems. 78 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:27,840 David, thank you for managing the complexities of the speakers green rooms and tech checks. 79 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,800 Neil, thank you for helping with sponsor wrangling,  80 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,880 a task that can be full of truly baffling conversations. 81 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,840 Ryan, I've already mentioned you, but I feel I need to again.  82 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:50,400 Your passion for this community is clear in the attention to detail in your work. And the time you  83 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:59,840 devoted to my team to help us make this event, our event has been so smooth and polished. Thank you. 84 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:08,240 But most of all, my deepest thanks go to the two folks who stood with me, back in December,  85 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:15,360 when I was unsure that was even a good idea. Katie McLaughlin and Jack Skinner are the best people  86 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:21,600 and I have been blessed to work with them. By myself, I am certain I would not have been able  87 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:30,720 to make this event happen. Together, combined, we make a super conference director. Katie, thank you  88 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,920 not only for running our conference comms, but also stepping in to fill so many shoes,  89 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:43,040 ticketing and program code share and generally doing all the things. 90 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,920 Jack, thank you for wrangling sponsorship and your invaluable support.  91 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,160 Thank you, both, for your support, for me and for the entire team. 92 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:09,840 I'm I'm being told somebody else wants to join the call? 93 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,560 As my gift to you, I commissioned artist Sally to capture  94 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,880 the joy I have of working with both of you. 95 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,120 And now I'd like to invite the rest of the core team back, please,  96 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:37,840 because I couldn't have done this without each and every one of you. 97 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:46,960 There we are. And to close out, we have a tradition, in PyConline AU [audio frozen]  98 00:12:46,960 --> 00:13:05,840 where we end the call with a therapeutic scream into the void. Take it away, everyone. 99 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:19,840 [aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
