They're versions of this one that I was given by Tourism New Zealand It's a group of three ladies in Nelson Who made them for us Now what I wanted to say I've had a couple of people asking me what they are And what it means The silver fern has been used as a symbol For New Zealand Particularly for sports for quite a long time It's a native fern The whole point of it Is that it's a beautiful bright green on the top of it And when you flip it over It's actually this lovely silvery colour That reflects the moonlight And the Māori used to use it as markers For when they're travelling around They just bend one backwards And they could see their way around And you actually wear it We can't quite see it properly But if you see any silver fern image You'll see that you wear it On a bit of an angle going up Please do wear it with pride They are beautiful And we hope that you'll remember us by with them One last time I've got to give them a shout out Because without their investment I don't think we'd have had as big a party I know you wouldn't have had as much in your swag bags And they're an important part of our open source community So our emperor sponsors this year Have been Catalyst They've been Turete A number of you are going to go along to their beer o'clock After we wrap this evening I just hope there's enough room HP once again Been outstanding And the team they're providing The Chromebooks we've been using on Rejo Desk all week Which some lucky participants Are taking home with them today IBM again Ongoing support PDNS last night All the sponsors Sorry this is hard now Came and said how great we were to them They gave us money To make this happen Wow King sponsors this year Anchor What a team 19 of them attending the conference this year That is awesome And the The ITS department of the university Is just gone beyond our expectations They have been outstanding Both Red Hat and Google Once again participating heavily in the program Backing us financially Providing us with assistance Please give a big shout out to them OSS Local company Strong investment in open source Big team here this week And our lanyard sponsor for 2015 In addition to the two Sponsors NZ and the python software foundation Of our diversity And outreach program I just want to make a special thank you to Lana Brinley Ellen Strickland Brenda Wallace Laura Bell Nick Coglin All of whom participated in the selection process For the funding program And I couldn't have got through this without all your help Who liked the ice creams on Wednesday?

Do you want to do a few words and then we'll do the draw Robin? On behalf of both National Cystic Fibrosis New Zealand Who are based in Christchurch And the local branch, Auckland, which is where I'm from And we're just down the road in Grafton Thank you very much for your generosity It's amazing Cherise spoke to you earlier in the week And explained to you a little bit about Cystic Fibrosis I have a 21-year-old son Six foot two Probably looks like in those young guys In this audience As a university student Was diagnosed at the age of four weeks Somebody asked me today What's it like not to have CF He doesn't know, he's lived with it all his life The money you've raised Is going to go to National They're going to put some of it towards research The other aim is to try and help People in hospital Born had four admissions last year Which is average for someone of his age A short stay is two weeks He's a student So he can cope with missing a few lectures But a lot of our adults are working So trying to explain Eight weeks Sick leave, annual leave to your boss Most of them don't have a holiday They use their leave up that way The other thing that's really difficult for them Is most of them go to Auckland hospital Or Christchurch hospitals And hospitals don't have Wi-Fi So they spend two weeks in a room By themselves because of cross infection People with CF don't socialise together They meet people on Facebook And that sort of thing But they never meet or socialise With someone else with CF Which is hard But if you imagine two weeks without Wi-Fi Facebook, Twitter Access to a laptop It is hard We go through quite a bit of money As a parent on the T-sticks And walking across the road with their cell Phone so that we're pushing them in a wheelchair If they're not very well to access internet So some of the money I'm hoping is going to go towards Those things that just Make quality life a lot better For when they're in hospital Because they want to stay in contact with their friends They don't want people to know they're in hospital often They want to lead that secret life To access internet Is a marvellous thing So thank you and I hope everyone wins that 3D printer It looks amazing Pretty amazing aren't they So thank you very much again on behalf of the CFNZ One last thing before Vic makes the draw Is that Diamond Age have said For the month of January Any purchases of Their Mako 3D printers They will give 10% Towards cystic fibrosis That's a big box One ticket And it's Green ticket It's a green ticket with a letter A on it Followed by the number 13 We have a name Can you read it?

Now how many of you Have that patch merged? And that's pretty good If you look around the room you see that Most of you have made a contribution To open source software That is fantastic But you know what? It's not just Software that can be patched You know that this conference can Be patched as well You can submit a patch to LCA 2016 And the way that you do that Is that on the 1st of June You see this week I've been going around And talking to a lot of you people And guess what? A lot of you are doing cool things But Probably 90% of you who are here today Have never spoken at an LCA Now I get that right? Getting up and speaking In front of people can be scary We get that. But you know what? There's plenty of videos on YouTube And we've had talks on the conference site Before helping you Being able to speak And how to give your talk at the conference So just like a patch Sometimes you submit a patch and it's rejected Isn't it? And they say Go back and do some rework They say sometimes rebase that patch Based on something new And sometimes it gets rejected Now if you're the sort of person Who can't speak at all at a conference Then get someone else To put something into the CFP If you know someone who's doing something cool In the open source community Submission to the CFP And perhaps we'll see you in 2016 But A lot of you who are doing cool things Maybe 2016 is the year When you can come and speak at this conference We've got great speakers And we've had great speakers this year But I'd like to see some fresh faces I'd like to see some new speakers I'd like to hear about what you're doing In the community So on the 1st of June when the CFP opens We would love to see you put in a talk proposal For LCA 2016 And with that in mind I now would like to invite Rusty Russell To come up on stage again And this time he's going to speak On behalf of the speakers Hopefully So there's kind of a LCA tradition That was started back at Calo That The speakers Pass a hat around And we buy a small Token gift To the lead organisers And this year Thank you We thought you would appreciate A That's what I call a cellar And A gift card for $300 more Of whatever grog you I'm sure they know us too well I must admit I'm getting fed up With soda water Thank you That's awesome Now Hang on Now we're doing 2017 I have a clicker He's going to see what's on the next slide Nothing for me So A bit of confusion I thought I was doing this before And so I apologise LCA 2017 Not sure how they're going to follow the Geelong presentation But I think they're kind of set up And if you go to lca2017.org.au So no No way You might find their website there And so I'm pleased to announce that for 2017 LCA will be Returning to Hobart And with the directors of Chris and Craig If they want to just wave or show their hands Feel free to chat them up if you have any ideas I want to help out But I'll give it back to you Thank you Congratulations I didn't make it to Hobart last time You might volunteer again But then I've been told off of volunteering too much Too fast Yeah Oh yeah it's that noisy Yeah Right Mark So Mark's The other Key person of this team Because he's been running our AV and NOC And Our standby person If either of us are in point incapacitated Like having to rush my daughter to the hospital On the Saturday Because it was sprain not a break thankfully So things move on But what we want to share with you Are a few interesting numbers from this week Wonderful thing with having Mark doing that Is anything that is like Revegley has the word JV in it I don't want to know So we were privileged enough To be sitting on the University of Auckland Wi-Fi this week They gave us our own SID The Wi-Fi piece of their network But it was all their gear And generally the feedback was pretty good What do you guys think? Was the Wi-Fi pretty good Conference? So this morning I pinged a quick email Through to the IT people And in their busy day They managed to pull some information for me So this I guess Is for the first four days of this week anyway Shows us that we typically had a peak count Of about 650 odd Devices connected to our SID And I found it most interesting We had devices connected that were not authenticated So I don't know what was going on then That's actually Lower than we expected Yes I was expecting all of you to bring like Four devices and I warned the University That we would want like you know Three thousand devices connected And they were like yeah it's fine They comfortably tell us they deal with Ten times that many So this was traffic And I had to ask them what it meant But it looks like We managed to do about nine Gigabytes of download At the left side there I don't know what the time period is It's a little bit vague on the bottom But Congratulations guys you didn't Kill the University network Thank you very much So we're going to give you a few extra numbers Any idea what this one is Exactly That's the number of coffees We will give you the course of this week That was good coffee Three more numbers Any guesses This one's not that difficult Talk better No actually We were lucky And very very few calls on our On-call phone which is really impressive We had nine participants Across our keynote And plenary sessions We had Minicomps as part of our program And 89 talks Or tutorials in the main program That doesn't Include Minicomps sessions It doesn't include lightning talks Just think about the scale Of this event that's really something special Any ideas on this No it's a little bit more personal We've got Eight years since the first LCA that Steve and I attended Which was in Sydney And I still wake up hearing Good morning freedom lovers 450 Is the number of days since we Discovered that we had won the bid For LCA That was They actually waited until Literally just waited until we Had wound up OSDC In 2013 And Francois took us aside Pretty much as hot off the stage And told us which was The great big grin 715 Is the number of days Since the LCA 2015 Boff in Canberra That I attended And spoke to some of you good people Who had done it before and you still That's when I made the decision That we're definitely going to go ahead And put this on for you So that's how long it takes To put this thing on So now our thank yous Because there's so many people to thank Aside from the people we've already Made mention of Everybody who was involved With our keynote and plenary sessions Michael Davies for helping us Get Eben Bob Young for coming along on his own Dime B Dale for helping with Today's session And the participants in our plenary Yesterday That's been incredible Please can everybody Who has spoken in a main Session or in a minicom Session please stand up Big decision for 2015 Was this is a five day conference We opened the conference On Monday The minicom are part Of the program From our point of view We simply provided the venue The presenters here It's you that everybody else paid to come and see So thank you so much We have a lot of help Our ghosts Our previous organisers Who've helped us Who've done hangouts Wipe and phone calls And spend considerable time Over cups of coffee In Sydney In Wellington in Auckland And all kinds of other places Helping us through this process The papers committee Headed up by Michael and Michael I think we had 17 people On the committee was it this year Something like that It's a long process I have a completely different Appreciation of the conference program And I thank you both For everything you've done I want to make a special mention here To a man who has already been on the stage That is Mr Wolf Mr Steve Wolf Unknown to many of you We did manage to keep him out of the knock A week If it wasn't for him We wouldn't have had AV Because at very short notice I was able to bring him up and say I need a detailed inventory In the LCA store With a dollar value attached So I can get it through customs And I need it in two days time So big thank you sir You did an awesome job Random side point customs in New Zealand Held the shipment And we all had our breaths And I had planned a meeting Of all the volunteers And this took them weeks And I managed to get them all into one place To unpack everything and test everything Delivered at 4.15pm on the Friday Thank you Now I get to plug my own company Which is really unusual I need to recognise my employer Because This slide was This logo was accidentally Missed off some of the earlier acknowledgement So I've got to give my boss a bit of Compensation We get our boardroom back now Because during the planning Phase of this conference for basically about a year Solid There was always a little piece of LCA In our boardroom On a fortnightly basis at least We were in there scheming and planning Eating Cleaning up afterward Not only that Our office just happens to be Only a few hundred metres up the road And we were able to stage a lot of our equipment Waiting for the university to give us some space To actually put our stuff So I need to give a real big thanks to my employer The entity formerly known as just Icons For all the support that they gave And apart from anything else they actually Kept me on the payroll while I was here this week Which I'm really grateful so thank you guys Right now The IT services department University of Auckland I know we mentioned them already They went on the books as a sponsor But really they were a lot more for us When we approached the university Obviously this is a pretty swanky venue It was pretty awesome But when we approached them and told them About what we wanted to achieve And how LCA has a peculiar set of requirements In the technical sense When it comes to conferencing They weren't scared They grabbed it with both hands And they gave us a member of their team Basically full time to act as a liaison Between the university and clinics Australia Which was bloody awesome Steve Shipley Who's not here sadly He's taken him away on holiday overseas So despite the fact he spent nine months Working on LCA He's not here But in his absence we'd like to acknowledge All the work that he and the team from ITS Did to help us out this week There's a stack of other names There's a guy named Reid who kindly stepped up When Steve disappeared Who's been our guy and looked after us very well A bunch of the guys in network design Were able to pony up with a network On their network but not on their network And their network connectivity And we managed to monkey with all their display stuff And not break it too much So yeah, real cool stuff Thank you guys We do need to definitely make mention As I've said before Kate McLennan from Auckland University Who's been our Our go-to person Anything and everything that's happened At the university we've had one point of contact Which has just made my life And everyone else's life so much easier For me, I give them to her They go away So if you're thinking about it, if you've got a university That has an events team That definitely is worthwhile Being really, really nice to them Yes Kate's been really helpful And I should give a special mention Because I didn't mention them before There's a group here in this building Called the Learning Environment Support Unit Or LESU or something And they actually run the AV kit And we bugged them many times this week And they've been nothing but as helpful As they could be so We've had a lot of support from Auckland University Big ups to them So this is when I get to talk a little about the guys That I've been working with pretty closely Over the last couple of weeks I've got a special mention, I know we don't Tend to drop names too often But I need to specially mention five people Brian, Tim Carl, Leon Michael and Matt Is that six? I can't count So those guys are, I mean you'll know many of them People like Ryan Verna and Tim Ansel They've been around the world and done the AV thing For the Linux conferences for a long time But those guys came to Auckland a week early And did a special hack fest House of the Catalyst The team And they put together the high def stuff Which has turned out pretty cool So thanks for that And them and the wider team And it is a huge team Have managed to keep you all heard Keep the network running So I need to specially mention those And the note I wrote here was Set up, fix, improvise Adlib, translate Panda, explain, shrug And move on So some previous years We've tried to drop a mirror On the local network With the way the university's connected We don't need to Because we got The fastest link you can imagine Into our local Peering point And from there we can get to Slingshot's mirrors So they always mirror The LCA videos So for those of you in New Zealand This is where you can go to They'll also be up on the LA mirror as well So all the videos will be made available there And many of them are already going up on the line on YouTube And I want to give a special mention That Clifford is heading this up for us In all of about a day So yeah, well done And thanks to Call Plus and Slingshot For doing this for us, it's really appreciated So our team They've been with us From through the long haul They've done all those meetings In ICON's office At OSS's office And various other locations around the city While we scoped out Where we're going to run these events The venue How it's going to work What colour t-shirts we're going to have Oh the argument about the t-shirts The amount Of time Energy The amount of unpaid leave That's currently being taken by them Just so they can look after you this week Is really something special So thank you to our team I get to do this, don't I? Can I get to this? I'd like every single person Who volunteered To cover AV To cover Red Joe and to run rooms Stand up please Even if you haven't got a red shirt I want you all on In addition, please stay standing up In addition to that They had to cover driving For our partners program To help bring speakers in from the airport And they've just Been terrific Can I ask you to remain standing please? If you didn't know you were going to be a volunteer Until you got here on Monday Seriously, I get you all I just want to recognise those Who didn't know they were volunteering for us Until they got here, I know there's a few of you If the volunteers could stay standing Everyone else sit down If you got co-opted On Monday, or this week There's a few of you So We do want to wish Geelong Best of luck Have fun Please take this with you Be awesome That's it Mark I Have done an absolutely fantastic job And as I keep saying It's organised by volunteers Volunteers from the organizing team And the volunteers who just stood up But I'd like to invite You to come down the front Please Come on There's more Shane There's still people At the back doing more things I know there's people helping pack up And bump out already Lisa, come on It's amazing how you can sometimes Not spot someone in a red shirt That's kind of So It's very, very sad That LCA has to come to an end I don't know if I'd have the energy for it to go For 365 days But I think I'd have fun of trying Nevertheless Thank you It still doesn't stand up Enjoy Your time in Auckland For those of you who are staying with us I hope you've enjoyed your week with us The train trip down to Wellington Yeah, we hope you and those of you enjoying The train to Wellington tomorrow Make it to the station on time Definitely, safe travels to all of you And we look forward to joining as many of you As possible in Geelong next year The rocket launch It just doesn't end Thank you all again
