00:00:13.519
all right Shall We Begin let's do it all
00:00:17.119
right all right so you already seen the
00:00:19.680
Wi-Fi
00:00:21.600
info um I'm talk a little about the
00:00:23.599
history um so Rocky Mountain Ruby was
00:00:25.640
founded as Mountain RB in 2010 by Mar
00:00:30.160
out um Marty are you here
00:00:33.840
Marty Marty will be around uh Sarah
00:00:37.719
tipon and Stefan hongman took it over um
00:00:40.879
in
00:00:42.520
2013 uh these folks who I actually don't
00:00:44.879
know took it over for one year in 2015
00:00:47.079
and then it tur took it over moved it to
00:00:49.079
Denver and it sort of just faded out
00:00:51.879
fortunately we are in the Resurgence of
00:00:54.640
Ruby conferences and in um 2022 I went
00:00:58.719
to Ruby conference Min and thought I
00:01:01.840
love this I miss these small Ruby
00:01:04.239
conferences so um I decided to restart
00:01:07.479
it and Becky was one of my volunteers
00:01:10.000
last year when we did this and she
00:01:11.439
wouldn't go away so now she's a
00:01:15.320
co-organizer um I want to talk about the
00:01:18.880
uh code of conduct so anyone who knows
00:01:21.880
me knows I'm not a particularly serious
00:01:23.640
person but I am very serious about this
00:01:26.400
you have all said that you read the code
00:01:29.159
of conduct when you bought your ticket
00:01:32.799
we truly believe that we are good
00:01:35.680
community and we are kind but if
00:01:37.479
anything goes
00:01:39.159
wrong I am very serious about we will
00:01:42.799
take whatever action is necessary uh E
00:01:45.640
Town knows how to bounce people I know
00:01:48.159
how to call the police um so let's not
00:01:52.000
have it come to that we may have a
00:01:53.640
little disagreements please work among
00:01:55.680
yourselves to uh understand each other
00:01:58.920
and be kind to each other
00:02:00.399
but if you have any problems at all talk
00:02:02.439

00:02:04.479

00:04:29.440
opport opportunity to do your first uh
00:04:32.840
talk at a conference if you've never
00:04:34.120
done one my first talk at a conference
00:04:35.680
was at a Rocky Mountain Ruby where I
00:04:37.160
defended unless back in a time when
00:04:39.600
nobody used unless because it was a
00:04:41.000
pearl ISM now rubocop tells you to use
00:04:43.520
unless but back then it was
00:04:45.600
controversial yes and um I've never
00:04:48.759
spoken at a conference before so
00:04:50.199
tomorrow I'm gonna do my first talk as a
00:04:52.000

00:05:04.240
talk
00:05:06.360
about hallway track so we design this
00:05:11.000
conference to have lots of time between
00:05:13.479
the talks so we're doing two talks and
00:05:15.039
then usually a half an hour 45 minute
00:05:17.080
break hang out with your with people
00:05:19.639
make friends talk this is where the best
00:05:22.000
stuff at conferences happen this is
00:05:23.360
where you learn things that didn't make
00:05:25.720
it in talk this is where you make new
00:05:27.319
friends that you'll see at every
00:05:28.880
conference that you'll
00:05:30.160

00:05:47.560

00:05:59.680
really welcoming way of uh making sure
00:06:02.120
everyone uh meets everyone and has some
00:06:04.440
good talks I've been seeing everyone do
00:06:06.720
that and the fact that I had to come and
00:06:08.160
heard everyone from downstairs actually
00:06:10.039
