| mizmo | good morning everyone | |
|---|---|---|
| mizmo | i'm in charge... the fedora address | |
| mizmo | i guess we'll get started | |
| mizmo | we're on a timeline... hand gestures to one minute market | |
| mizmo | 'youre done congrats' | |
| mizmo | [logistics] | |
| mizmo | 'you have 30 min, go' | |
| mizmo | people next to the laptop need to be quieter | |
| mizmo | i can't hear her over you | |
| * nirik goes to tell people. | ||
| mizmo | this one time at band camp... here and there... i was drum major, directing people, and this oby that i liked played the tuba | |
| mizmo | or sousaphone | |
| mizmo | smart, witty... he was recently single from a girl that consumed almost all his entire hs life | |
| mizmo | they broke up, which was awesome, and we started dating | |
| mizmo | hang out with friends, that kind of thing.. for an entire summer... | |
| mizmo | you know, the free time you have to screw around and enjoy life | |
| mizmo | school started back up in the fall | |
| mizmo | things seemed to be fine | |
| mizmo | then he wanted to 'talk' to me | |
| mizmo | he was pretty blunt, he said that this evil girl wanted to try things again after she had dumped him | |
| mizmo | and he thought, since we spent all of high school dating and had invested so much time, he had said yeh | |
| mizmo | so i was dumped | |
| mizmo | that was my first real breakup | |
| mizmo | i remember thinking, while he's teling me this - how could you, mr smart, be so unobjective to think thi sis a tiny messup | |
| mizmo | you're going to college in different states | |
| mizmo | they were so different - he was pres of young dems, she was pres of young republicans | |
| mizmo | so i was really bitter | |
| mizmo | thinking he was being very naive | |
| mizmo | stupid basically | |
| mizmo | not really... here i am being bitter but | |
| mizmo | you leave a job, it's not just because someone made you a job offer, what's pushing you out the door | |
| mizmo | i think it sort of applies to relationships as well | |
| mizmo | what did i do wrong? what's wrong with me | |
| mizmo | i asked and asked, it's not about you, there's nothing, it's not about our relationship | |
| mizmo | in that incident, standing on my doorstep crying, i realized how quickly words can really hurt when they come from someone you really care about | |
| mizmo | fedora | |
| mizmo | fedora is unstable | |
| mizmo | fedora is too fast | |
| mizmo | fedora is not for production | |
| mizmo | you would have to be crazy to use it | |
| mizmo | these are things we've heard over and over again, for years | |
| mizmo | it sort of hits you, people tell you this | |
| mizmo | but this is the thing i work on, and i really love | |
| mizmo | it hurts all of us, because we're all here and we love fedora | |
| mizmo | why are you guys here | |
| mizmo | why are each of you individually here | |
| mizmo | the answer isnt really, my boss let me go, my talk got accepted, i had some time to do it | |
| mizmo | that's how you got here, but not why are you here | |
| mizmo | honest-to-god being passionate | |
| mizmo | made you want to come and spent your fri-sat-sun-mon + days of travel here | |
| mizmo | in charleston, rather than doing anything else | |
| mizmo | why are you here? love | |
| mizmo | for me, i love fedora. i hope you guys hopefully love fedora | |
| mizmo | even the most cynical and trollish of you | |
| mizmo | i read a lot, businessy type books, this is the stuff i read in the last 6 mo or so | |
| mizmo | that's not all of them either | |
| mizmo | it gives me something to think about when im not thinking about fedora even tho i end up thinking about fedora when i read these things | |
| mizmo | first one - the story of ....? | |
| mizmo | goes something like this - building love for you brand and your products | |
| mizmo | not for what you do and what you deliever | |
| mizmo | but why you do it | |
| mizmo | the reason we are all here | |
| mizmo | some of the most dearly loved brands, like whole foods, another company that may have a 'fruit' as their logo which we won't talk about here in an open source place | |
| mizmo | they are not building stuff for the sake of just making money | |
| mizmo | they said they are going to make stuff that makes things great and betters the world while they do it | |
| mizmo | one of the goals as you build a company or organization | |
| mizmo | build a love for the org that will continue to last thru change | |
| mizmo | even the best companies, brands... will occasionally wonder, they will screw sometihng up but ppl's loove for the brand will keep them around | |
| mizmo | so they can bounce back | |
| mizmo | will keep ppl around even during trubled times | |
| mizmo | and ... is changing, the technology road | |
| mizmo | the place where we're trying to make things happen | |
| mizmo | 10 years ago, 14 years ago... i was a sys admin | |
| mizmo | most of that i have washed from my brain on purpose | |
| mizmo | but what we did there, 4 of us, we had 100 serves, a mix of different OSes | |
| mizmo | some scary old | |
| mizmo | backups on tape casettes | |
| mizmo | CAMERA BATTERY IS LOW | |
| mizmo | CHANGE BATTERY | |
| mizmo | well crap | |
| mizmo | there goes the stream | |
| * mizmo sobs | ||
| mizmo | spot, nirik | |
| mizmo | ^^ HALP!!! | |
| * nirik looks for spot | ||
| mizmo | no sound and just a blue screen | |
| spot | damn it | |
| spot | that camera has shit for battery | |
| mizmo | :( | |
| shaiton | plug you'r geekphone and start again :p | |
| shaiton | your* | |
| nirik | spot is looking for a replacement camera. | |
| mizmo | anybody with a cell phone?? | |
| mizmo | put it near robyn all we need is audio hehe | |
| nirik | can try a hangout from my phone | |
| mizmo | nirik, that would be awesome!! | |
| shaiton | nirik: enable speach-to-text, mizmo would be able to sleep then | |
| shaiton | :) | |
| nirik | mizmo: do you have g+ up? I can video call... | |
| mizmo | nirik, i do | |
| mizmo | well one sec | |
| nirik | claims calling | |
| mizmo | okay | |
| mizmo | i can see her but no audio | |
| nirik | now? | |
| mizmo | nope | |
| nirik | huh | |
| mizmo | its totally silent :-/ | |
| nirik | weird. | |
| mizmo | now it works! | |
| mizmo | i hear something anyway | |
| mizmo | i hear robyns echos and coughing | |
| mizmo | it turned off again | |
| mizmo | i wonder if the audio is too far away and the phone is turning the mic off | |
| mizmo | and when you moved it it turned the mic back on bc the rustling was louder | |
| nirik | yeah, could be | |
| nirik | can move it up to podium? | |
| mizmo | if you can lol | |
| mizmo | yeh the audio came back on now | |
| spot | okay | |
| spot | video should be back | |
| mizmo | hahaha hi robyn | |
| mizmo | perfect | |
| nirik | oh, duh. | |
| mizmo | I don't know if any of those are necessarily one solution to our entire problem here | |
| mizmo | funny thing about love | |
| mizmo | is that you want to tell eveyrone about how you're in love when youre in love | |
| mizmo | it's infectious... early stages of amor you can't really shut up about it | |
| mizmo | you want to tell everyone you're in love, you met this guy girl or puppy | |
| mizmo | i love this person, this thing, this television show | |
| mizmo | you feel psasionate about this person or thing | |
| mizmo | you want everyone to feel the same thing you feel | |
| mizmo | because it feels great to you | |
| mizmo | we want more ppl who love fedora | |
| mizmo | who will tell other people why they love fedora | |
| mizmo | etc | |
| mizmo | people like us | |
| mizmo | because we're a resilient community | |
| mizmo | we can do these things | |
| mizmo | we can think about how we can change to give ppl what they want | |
| mizmo | without changing our core values | |
| mizmo | i think we can do this | |
| mizmo | build new great things | |
| mizmo | without losing our sense of identity | |
| mizmo | i believe we can build great things thru meritocracy | |
| mizmo | not goals i wrote up on a board that no one wants to work on | |
| mizmo | you come work on fedora - not bc i wrote something on a board | |
| mizmo | its because you want to scratch your own itch | |
| mizmo | we can aim for a better fedora | |
| mizmo | but still work on the things we want to do | |
| mizmo | just connecting ppl with interesting stuff to do | |
| mizmo | i cant give ppl orders | |
| mizmo | fesco cant give ppl orders, the board can't | |
| mizmo | it's all about you guys | |
| mizmo | i believe we can build something that is production quality | |
| mizmo | that is a product | |
| mizmo | that ppl can rely on | |
| mizmo | that woudl be proud to rely on | |
| mizmo | that we can believe, yes you can run fedora in production | |
| mizmo | i already do that to ppl | |
| mizmo | i see ppl all the time saying you'd be insane to do that | |
| mizmo | but i believe we can do this bc we hav ea resilient nature in our community | |
| mizmo | for those of us that are here | |
| mizmo | those of us that afar | |
| mizmo | we share on ething | |
| mizmo | we have this love for fedora | |
| mizmo | so | |
| mizmo | last love story | |
| mizmo | the boy i told you | |
| mizmo | who broke my heart | |
| mizmo | came back | |
| mizmo | it didn't work out with the other girl | |
| mizmo | he remembered about all the fun times we had together | |
| mizmo | we went to prom | |
| mizmo | this is me, that's him in the background | |
| mizmo | that's my college roommate | |
| mizmo | we had a lot of fun that summer | |
| mizmo | the summer before he went to college | |
| mizmo | i knew it wasnt going to last | |
| mizmo | i still had fun | |
| mizmo | and fun is... one of those other f's | |
| mizmo | the mythical other f | |
| mizmo | freedom friends features first | |
| mizmo | we have other f words we joke about | |
| mizmo | fail faster | |
| mizmo | fun | |
| mizmo | four-letter-words... | |
| mizmo | all of these things give us these things about the fedora community | |
| mizmo | a feeling of it being our home | |
| mizmo | and it really helps us to stay in love with fedora | |
| mizmo | when other things are a mess | |
| mizmo | we've all pretty much quite literally come here to south carolina | |
| mizmo | and we should live up to our resiilient nature | |
| mizmo | let's plan, argue, drink, get things done | |
| mizmo | write the next chapter of our own love story | |
| mizmo | nothing more personally gratifiying than watching other ppl fall in love with the things we do in the fedora project | |
| mizmo | <applause> | |
| spot | thats a wrap | |
| spot | the feed is going to stop until the next session | |
