00:00:48.160 team of other people in Italy and uh we
00:00:51.960 are
00:00:53.280 really
00:00:54.800 passionate what moves us is passion is
00:00:58.120 we want to do this because uh
00:01:00.600 it will be cool we will meet new people
00:01:03.640 we will spread new culture in Italy and
00:01:06.520 uh yeah it's all about passion it's not
00:01:09.400 about a city it's not about anything
00:01:11.680 it's just about passion for
00:01:15.119 us
00:01:16.840 who we're a team with 20 years of
00:01:19.320 experience these are my friends they are
00:01:22.280 watching now live and they don't know I
00:01:25.040 would have shown this photo so they will
00:01:27.520 be very happy to be here say hello to
00:01:29.439 them
00:01:30.799 and uh yes we have been organizing
00:01:32.640 conferences for the past 20 years in
00:01:35.759 Italy that's what we do we do Ruby day
00:01:38.520 we do JS PHP CSS angular View and
00:01:43.399 whatever you think about web development
00:01:45.439 we do it so it means uh we know how to
00:01:48.759 organize a good conference we know what
00:01:51.799 the workflow is is we know where to find
00:01:54.479 a sponsor maybe uh we know where to find
00:01:57.360 speakers and uh we have been doing this
00:01:59.920 this forever and we will do next year in
00:02:02.320 Italy
00:02:04.039 too where the hell is Verona I guess not
00:02:07.520 everybody knows where this city is the
00:02:10.560 city is in the middle of
00:02:12.120 Europe more or less but you can reach it
00:02:16.200 easily by car if you come from Spain
00:02:18.720 from France Switzerland Austria Dand
00:02:21.560 Slovenia Croatia by car for hours by car
00:02:24.560 you are here you we have an
00:02:26.959 international airport and we also have
00:02:29.319 trains that are always slate because
00:02:31.640 they are Italian but we have trained
00:02:35.319 to what
00:02:37.720 else okay it will be the first time ever
00:02:40.400 for Yuko in Italy and that's very
00:02:42.480 important
00:02:43.800 because uh the Ruby community in Italy
00:02:46.319 very small I organize with my friends
00:02:49.080 the Ruby day and uh we have a community
00:02:52.319 of 200 developers on a country with 60
00:02:56.000 million of people is nothing if you r
00:02:59.920 comes to Italy this will help us to have
00:03:03.840 more Junior Ruby developer as I've heard
00:03:06.440 in these days we have a lot of seniors
00:03:09.120 we don't have Juniors bring euruko to
00:03:11.120 Italy and we will grow up young
00:03:15.080 people I will bring my daughter she's
00:03:17.319 seven years old maybe she will be a ruby
00:03:19.920 developer of course we have delicious
00:03:22.360 food I'm not going to show you the pizza
00:03:24.440 or the pasta or whatever you know it is
00:03:27.200 we have 2,000 years of History Verona is
00:03:29.400 very City we are surrounded but by a lot
00:03:33.599 of historical buildings and we have
00:03:36.040 sunny weather so you will feel like on
00:03:39.720 holiday this is the location where ruko
00:03:42.239 will be next year no no no no no no no
00:03:45.879 no no it's a
00:03:47.560 joke but we have similar places in Italy
00:03:51.120 that maybe we can rent for a Yuko I
00:03:53.560 don't know yet but okay this is a bit
00:03:56.159 too much we don't have the Lions for the
00:03:58.159 fight we don't have these things
00:04:00.480 but we have Castle we have Villas we
00:04:02.920 have old whatever you want buildings
00:04:05.720 where to do yo and and host five 500
00:04:10.079 people 600
00:04:12.079 whatever party time I know this is this
00:04:15.959 is our weakest point
00:04:17.959 because if I ask you who prefer beers to
00:04:21.440 Wine puts the hand
00:04:23.680 up okay who prefers wine the rest okay
00:04:27.919 so this is a win-win situation because
00:04:29.840 we have the best wine in the world and
00:04:32.360 if you like beer I don't drink wine so
00:04:35.800 this is a promise that I will provide
00:04:38.360 you the best beer we have in
00:04:41.240 Italy and maybe cheap okay which is also
00:04:45.960 something
00:04:47.240 good so if passion is what moves you
00:04:51.400 vote for
00:04:52.479 Italy and uh see you next year in
00:04:58.560 Verona
