City Pitch: Copenhagen
TODO • October 04, 2023 • Vilnius, Lithuania • Talk

EuRuKo 2023

00:00:09.920 how about Kaufman so our planning has
00:00:14.820 not Advanced that far because the idea
00:00:17.100 to pitch came yesterday before the party
00:00:19.080 bus and it got out of hand on it
00:00:22.500 anyways how about Copenhagen it's a very
00:00:24.840 pit risk City and uh believe me I will
00:00:28.439 say as much it does have weather
00:00:31.320 okay
00:00:32.460 well it's very nice it's also it's
00:00:35.280 really easy to get to because
00:00:38.660 it's not super Central it's technically
00:00:41.460 not Central Europe it's kind of Northern
00:00:43.800 Europe but it's still uh fairly in the
00:00:47.040 middle and we have a small airport but
00:00:49.379 even though it's small it's one of the
00:00:50.879 major hubs for northern Europe so it's
00:00:53.280 easy to get flights there no worries
00:00:55.440 there's also good train connections from
00:00:58.079 Mainland Europe and even from Sweden and
00:01:00.480 Norway
00:01:02.059 so it's easy to get to
00:01:04.799 it does have a friendly local Ruby
00:01:07.380 Community who have not been informed
00:01:10.200 that we're doing this this will be fun
00:01:11.939 getting back foreign
00:01:14.280 and um it does have possibly the
00:01:17.280 smallest landmark in the world
00:01:21.600 so
00:01:22.920 um now getting slightly off track but
00:01:26.540 Lithuanian is awesome I've just marveled
00:01:29.340 at all those diacritics in that language
00:01:31.200 I cannot pronounce it and um it's
00:01:34.619 actually much richer than Danish I'm not
00:01:36.600 even Danish but it's richer than Danish
00:01:39.420 Danish has only three special letters in
00:01:41.820 the alphabet but among those is this
00:01:46.200 very unicode
00:01:48.060 code point which I think is the coolest
00:01:51.119 special letter in the world
00:01:53.579 it's this one
00:01:55.560 and it's not only
00:01:58.860 a letter it's also a word
00:02:01.740 and what does it mean it's the Danish
00:02:04.079 word for Island
00:02:05.759 now here's the thing
00:02:07.320 Copenhagen is on an island so now we get
00:02:09.959 to the pitch in a slogan when we would
00:02:13.739 get that what we want to do with this
00:02:15.540 conference is we want to go oh sorry
00:02:17.819 they ask Copenhagen uh
00:02:19.739 we want to go full heavy metal um loud
00:02:22.680 on the conference name
00:02:24.360 and putting an Ur in Europe
00:02:28.140 and
00:02:29.700 and putting uruko on an earth
00:02:36.000 thank you
