learning what hashtag might they use

so if this is your first conference Ruby
00:02:02.520
friends is a hashtag that was created a
00:02:04.119
long time ago I would attribute it to
00:02:06.159
one person in my mind who's here in the
00:02:07.880
room but I don't know if it's theirs so
00:02:10.879
uh but find somebody you haven't met
00:02:13.440
before find somebody you've been to a
00:02:15.000
dozen conferences with before take a
00:02:17.040
friend uh take a photo share it uh

00:08:19.639
to thank all of you for being here
00:08:21.360
supporting the community and this
00:08:23.520
conference so thank you
00:08:34.599
so again as you can see Kinsey and I get
00:08:36.959
to be the the beautiful faces that you
00:08:38.519
stare at there's a small small army of
00:08:41.360
people behind all this um that makes
00:08:44.600
this happen and that includes you um
00:08:47.760
we've gotten into uh a situation where
00:08:51.399
we have given away a lot of free tickets
00:08:53.160
in the past and so if you asked for a
00:08:54.519
free ticket I said talk to Kinsey um
00:08:59.959
we as the CFO comes
00:09:04.399
down um so we did not uh we cut off free
00:09:09.120
tickets this year so unless you are
00:09:11.440
speaking working as labor are in the
00:09:14.200
scholars guides program um I think
00:09:17.040
that's pretty much it nobody got a free
00:09:18.680
ticket so everybody paid to be here and
00:09:20.680
as I look across this room that's a huge
00:09:22.920
amount of people and so much so we were
00:09:25.160
able to make $120,000 more this year
00:09:27.959
than last year which is a huge huge
00:09:30.920
success but we're sorry that we couldn't
00:09:33.120
give folks in the community you know
00:09:34.920
free tickets like we have in the
00:09:36.959
past right and uh again Kinsey has bore
00:09:40.680
the brunt of of having to say no to so
00:09:42.360
many people uh who we've given free to
00:09:44.240
tickets to in the past um but it's
00:09:47.519
important that we show up in support
00:09:50.000
because uh Ruby Central's mission is
00:09:53.040
making sure that the critical
00:09:54.120
infrastructure that we all work on uh
00:09:57.000
every time you run bundler it just works
00:09:59.480
um every time you go to look at Ruby
00:10:01.839
jems it just works you don't think about
00:10:03.760
it that's fantastic that's the open
00:10:06.160
source
00:10:07.040
program conferences are a different
00:10:09.360
story and they're a lot harder these
00:10:10.959
days I run my own conference it's a lot
00:10:12.839
harder these days um so just want to
00:10:15.200
thank you all for showing up and showing
00:10:16.800
your support and being here as I look
00:10:19.000
across this room I'm very happy with
00:10:22.040

00:10:23.800
