Great! Are we live? Can anyone hear me? Hello?
00:00:23.890
Hello everyone! Sorry about the late start. There was a problem with the computer at the front.
00:00:29.619
My name is Keith, and this is Mario. Welcome to Keith and Mario's Guide to Continuous Deployment, or as we like to call it, a slightly longer version: 'Why Automatically Deploying Your Master Branch to Production is a Good Idea.' This is, in fact, a really safe and great idea!
00:00:41.890
So, this is my friend Mario, the man to my right (or to your left). He works at a place called Envato. You may have heard of them; they operate products like ThemeForest and Tuts+.
00:00:55.120
Some fun facts about Mario: if you google 'How Good is Cheese' you'll see he's the CEO, CFO, CTO, CMO, and whatever else of 'How Good is Cheese.' Check that site out; it's a really great one!

Mario also hopes to become a millionaire with Bitcoin and Dogecoin. By the way, I'm presenting with Keith today.
00:01:24.460
Now, let me tell you a bit about Keith: he actually works at a startup called Buildbox. Buildbox is a semi-hosted continuous integration service—sort of like Jenkins, but with a hosted UI. Jenkins can’t read any of your data, and you use your own workers.

Some fun facts about Keith: every picture I could find of him, apart from the one he provided earlier, features him with a different Apple product. As you can see, in this picture, he has an iPad.
00:02:08.259
Keith was also awarded the South Australian Magician of the Year in 2007. Yes, those pigeons weren't there; I’m not sure how I managed to pull that off.
00:02:25.109
Keith and I have collaborated on a few products, and today we're going to show you some of the lessons we've learned while working together.
00:02:39.660
We worked together on a project called Envato Studio, which is an online marketplace for freelancers to sell their digital services. Many techniques we'll be discussing today began with those experiences.
00:02:51.560
Additionally, we've worked on Desktoppr, a wallpaper-sharing site with Dropbox as the backend. So all the insights we will share with you are based on real, practical experiences.
00:03:16.110
Now, you may have noticed we have a bit of an accent. We are from Australia, which is often just called 'Straya' by locals. We're a small island off the coast of New Zealand. Mario lives in the bottom right-hand corner, not in Tasmania.
00:03:36.800
He hails from Melbourne, a city famous for its nice laneways. Interestingly enough, Melbourne was voted the most livable city in the world.
00:03:52.560
So, back to the map: I currently live about 2,500 miles away from Mario, around a four-hour flight. Australia is indeed very large.
00:04:05.900
Perth, where Keith resides, looks beautiful with scenic beaches, and all of our presentations require us to share some fun facts.
00:04:30.050
By law, we have some trivia to share! For example, in 1954, Bob Hawke drank two and a half pints of beer in just 11 seconds, making it into the Guinness Book of World Records.
