WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:15.880 This is okay, sound-wise. Can you hear me? Seems a little bit. Okay. So, for those who don't 00:15.880 --> 00:20.060 know those rooms are super loud upfront, because the acoustics were made for time before 00:20.060 --> 00:26.640 we had electronics and microphones and such. So anything you say back there is really loud 00:26.640 --> 00:31.480 upfront and really amplifies in both directions. This is going to be super short and 00:31.480 --> 00:36.880 sweet. I've been asked to introduce myself. I'm Richie, first step for like a decade or 00:36.880 --> 00:45.000 two. I've run this for like 10 years now. The step room. Yeah. So, welcome. This is the ninth 00:45.000 --> 00:49.960 monitoring and observability step room in a row. It is by now one of the most longest 00:49.960 --> 00:58.560 running. Yeah. You're here. Transparency notice over the years, because people left, people 00:58.560 --> 01:03.200 did things, whatever. As of right now, Grafana is the only like everyone who organized 01:03.200 --> 01:08.040 a specific deaf room, works at Grafana, for one reason or another. You will see that this 01:08.040 --> 01:13.760 is not reflected in the in the talk selection that we are very, very deliberate about keeping 01:13.760 --> 01:21.920 this completely fair open source without any corporate influence. There is usually themes 01:21.920 --> 01:30.800 and for the third year in a row. For the third year in a row, the theme is not the new and 01:30.800 --> 01:36.240 the exciting. It is much more about making all of this technology actually able to use 01:36.240 --> 01:40.400 for people and actually valuable, instead of just showing everyone, oh, there is the new 01:40.480 --> 01:48.120 big thing. Yeah. Stickers. There is a sticker swap table here. Feel free to take or leave 01:48.120 --> 01:53.880 whatever you want. Sticker wise. The only hard rule is, don't put any stickers on anything 01:53.880 --> 01:58.880 you will be. Like your laptop, your forehead, we don't care, but not on anything you will 01:58.880 --> 02:03.880 be, because speaking a step, some volunteers will have to scrape that sticker off or else 02:03.920 --> 02:09.840 you will be well noticed and they will be not super nice to us. They hate stickers. We 02:09.840 --> 02:16.360 like stickers. So, a little bit of etiquette. If you find trash as you leave, as you enter, as 02:16.360 --> 02:21.400 you do anything, congratulations, this is now your trash, you own it. And there is where 02:21.400 --> 02:26.520 you collect your trash. Because anything which you don't pick up, it's basically going to 02:26.520 --> 02:30.600 be Carl and Fabian, because I'm not going to be here in a few minutes, who are going to pick 02:30.640 --> 02:35.240 everything up and clean everything up. So, please do the my favor and just take any trash 02:35.240 --> 02:42.480 you, you find even if it's not your own. Also, on etiquette, if any of you, and I mean, 02:42.480 --> 02:46.360 I realize that the morning after heavy beer drinking, so not everyone is hearing this, 02:46.360 --> 02:53.520 but if you have more of a question than a comment, we will absolutely, 100% have more of 02:53.520 --> 02:59.160 a shut up than you actually getting to speak. If you want to have a little bit of a lightning 02:59.240 --> 03:04.920 talk yourself, please submit to the CFP. It's highly disrespectful to the speaker to 03:04.920 --> 03:08.600 basically the speaker is stunned and then someone is like, yeah, everything you just said is wrong, 03:08.600 --> 03:14.600 and this is my grandstanding, don't. Along the same lines, speakers do all of this for free and 03:14.600 --> 03:21.000 we try to maximize the Q&A. And this means that as you enter and as you leave, you have to be 03:21.000 --> 03:25.480 really quiet. So, this means no chitchatting, no anything as you enter or leave, because as we 03:25.560 --> 03:30.680 can't run the Q&A upfront here, because again, it is super, super loud and the speakers can't hear 03:30.680 --> 03:36.680 anything, if you bang the chairs or anything, and again, if need be, we will remind everyone loudly 03:36.680 --> 03:44.920 that they please need to be quiet. If there's anything code of conduct, find anyone with a blue 03:44.920 --> 03:51.720 shirt for the intensive purposes of this deaf room or for the intensive purposes of all of 03:51.720 --> 03:57.000 the first them anyone with a yellow shirt or jacket, and we will take care of it. 03:58.600 --> 04:02.280 And that's it, thank you, and have fun today.
