try not to do here first we don't Trash

31
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:35,479
Talk other communities whether that's

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,439
programming languages or other groups of

33
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:38,920
people we're just not the sort of

34
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:40,240
community that acts like we're better

35
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,600
than other

36
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,320
languages we also don't assume that

37
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,840
anyone isn't technical if they don't

38
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:50,280
adhere to the stereotypical programmer

39
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,680
archetype and last we don't make jokes

40
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,280
at the expense of others punching down

41
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,399
isn't

42
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,360
funny if you see anything like this uh

43
00:01:57,399 --> 00:02:01,119
happen at the conference look most

44
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,880
people are people who want to be part of

45
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:06,000
a Kind community so it can be worth

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,000
gently but firmly calling them in an

47
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,399
easy way to do that is what we have up

48
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,400

desk they happen in breaks before and

00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:26,240
after the conference um and it's

125
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,520
something that we'd really like you to

126
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,240
get involved with so also lightning

127
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,319
talks on on Saturday and Sunday

128
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,479
afternoon we'd love to hear you speak

129
00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:36,000
especially if you're a firsttime speaker

130
00:05:34,479 --> 00:05:38,080
they're usually very short three-ish

131
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,360
minute talks so if that sounds like

132
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,639
something that would be fun for you have

133
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,919
a little think about what you might want

134
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:45,360
to share and you could submit your idea

135
00:05:42,919 --> 00:05:48,039
uh tomorrow more details coming

136
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,919
then python uh we really want you to be

137
00:05:48,039 --> 00:05:51,080
welcoming so we use the Pac-Man rule

138
00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:52,960
when you're having

139
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,479
conversations usually you'll end up

140
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,720
making a bit of a circle but try and

141
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:59,759
keep an open Wedge in that Circle so

142
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,639
that when somebody new comes along

143
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:03,440
they can

144
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:05,560
join and now with your bigger Circle we

145
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,360
make a new space again we want you to

146
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,520
always be welcoming and on that note

147
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,280
something else you can try is the

148
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,080
snowball rule where every day try and

149
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:16,160
meet as many new people as the number of

150
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,759
pons that you've been to so if you've

151
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,680
been to three of these conferences

152
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:22,360
before try and meet three new people

153
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,639
every day there are communication

154
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,599
stickers available in the expo hall

155
00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:29,000
you're free to use them and stick them

156
00:06:26,599 --> 00:06:30,680
on your lanyard if you see a green

157
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,880
circle on somebody's lanyard that means

158
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,720
they're happy to chat at any time a

159
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,560
yellow triangle means check with them

160
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,000
first and if you see a red octagon just

161
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,919
wait for that person to initiate

162
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,080
conversations with you please respect

163
00:06:40,919 --> 00:06:44,360
people's

164
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,520
preferences we have a lost and found so

165
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:49,360
if you find somebody's lost item please

item of yours again let us know and

169
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:58,879

the generous support of our sponsors it

171
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:02,800
