 Hello, everyone, I'm John T and I have some bad news. This is the end of the event. I know It's bad news for you. It's really good news for me. I Can't tell you how excited I am to go home to my bed, but anyway This is it apart from we do have some stuff in null sector There is still music performances. There's still things going on. So it's not completely done But this is the last talk and it's not even really a talk. It's just me rambling at you But here we are anyway We really hope that you've enjoyed this event I really hope you've enjoyed this event as well because this has been an extremely hard experience for all of us to put it on and Despite the wind and the rain. It seems like everyone's quite happy. So I'd like to say sorry to the people who had their tents collapse last night. That's really awful I'm sorry about that. And there's not a lot we can do really But I hope you stuck it out and I hope everything was okay in the end and Hearing how happy everyone has been around the site has been Rejuvenating for all of us. This has been so hard and it's the only thing that makes it worthwhile is when you tell us What a good time you're having and the experiences you've had and the friends you made and it's absolutely fantastic And people keep coming up to me and just saying I've been waiting for this for four years And it's like so have I but for different reasons But I'm really glad that it's been worthwhile for you and I hope that you want to go and come back and it's So much work and so much happens behind the scenes, but you will make it worthwhile for us. So thank you Quick credit thing this this is a light painting Sorry Never mind A quick credit thing. This is a light painting made by the youth village youth village I think yesterday So we've got one of these from every MF going back the last three events I think this is a 2022 edition and I want to show it to you all so any of the kids who worked on this excellent work Do it again next time. Thank you So let's talk about some numbers. There's been a bunch of numbers in the previous talk So we're gonna give you more numbers because everybody loves numbers in this tent. I'm aware and some of these are different numbers So that's okay Anyway, we have had more talks more workshops more music Basically more of everything that we ever had before Somehow with less team members, but you know, it's worked out. Okay And I'm really pleased everything that's happened. I hope everyone actually enjoyed the talks and workshops I know we've had some maybe problems. Sorry about that. It's just the way it goes We're in a field and it's a bit wet. So things go wrong And this isn't including also all the kids who learned to DJ yesterday for the first time who then made up their own DJ names made posters and did DJ sets in null sector earlier on today I don't know how many court people caught that but it was awesome We've also had used 149 meters of Velcro. I don't know where that is presumably so a lot of this is held up with Velcro I'm not sure where 154 meters of bunting all of which you're happy to take if you like to keep some we want some for ourselves But we really don't need 154 meters of bunting The jellyfish in null sector is each little segment is a different circuit board in it And we have had one offer to buy one of the jellyfish so far So I don't know if you've noticed for sale, but the second one hasn't been claimed yet No sector has a thousand 3d printed bolts and every single time I spoke to Charles who runs a null sector for the last year His 3d printer was running in the background of his call with his 3d printer printing bolts And he kept just hang holding up like here's another bag of bolts just a ridiculous things And we also have 1.5 3d printed Diplodocus skulls which are in the bar They are dip either dinosaurs head from the Natural History Museum who gave us the scans What you can't see is that it's 1.5 3d printed dinosaur skulls as one complete one and one half one But they're both missing exactly one part around the back So if anyone would like to spare some time and has a 3d printer you've got just enough time to print the remaining part out so That would be awesome, but you know We got one complete one We have one complete dinosaur skull We've also had an offer from the Natural History Museum to give us the 3d scan of the entirety of Dippy the dinosaur To which they said it's impossible. Nobody would do this and I am taking that as a challenge and so Yeah, challenge accepted apparently it's something like 20 meters long So we've all got quite a lot work to do over the next two years And also they said what would you do with it afterwards to which I said I don't care. That's your problem. So Anyway next time We have issued 2381 badges there are still some left If you have not got your badge, please collect it before you leave camp I hope the badge tent is open apparently I sent people there too early before the opening talk and I might be sending They're too late this time. Let's find out But we will not post them to you afterwards. It's too much work. So please claim your badge if you can There we go We have had 10 tons of chairs that you're all sat on right now They it's they I'm also gonna ask you at the end to remove your chairs and move them to the side because moving 10 tons of chairs Is it quite hard and we're not doing it for you? We had 73 items to lost and found Including three radios, which were not our radios. We're so well done for that And apparently the fastest time to reunion and for a lost and found out in was zero seconds because the person who handed the item in Was was handing in for the person behind them who'd lost it? So So thank you for being amazing attendees because every single time people come to the event They're like all people will steal my things or they'll get lost and they say it doesn't happen Everyone here is absolutely lovely and thank you for that. So round of applause for yourselves for just being lovely people We have had over 100 faxes sent. I don't know where all to what and Absolutely, nobody faxed the HQ and I'm really upset about this. I Had one request so, you know, anyway, we also had 3419 SIM cards on our temporary phone network, which somehow didn't fall over So full credit to the phone team for the experimental phone network, which everyone didn't I think people didn't even notice that they had phone signal There is no phone signal here. That was all our doing apart from when we turned it off And 16,700 calls on the phone network and I'm fairly sure about 15,000 of them of those were me so Anyway, it all worked perfectly. Thank you to the phone team for that We have sold a lot of beer There are no cans left you drank it all last night Which we're a bit astonished by We had 106 volunteers in the bar all of whom were absolutely wonderful and dealt with frankly ridiculous bar crew cues all the time We used 768 meters of receipt paper which was so so much receipt paper that we had to get order and do an emergency order Midway through the event because we were printing so many receipts for beer so it we just got through too much and Also, I found out today that apparently I have the second highest bar tab so I'm not buying anyone drinks anymore. That was it. I don't know who's got the foot of the highest bar tab, but congratulations Oh, I've got the same fly twice there And we have raised 4,000 pounds for the Red Cross This is all from the bring and donate This is just you dropping off your old rubbish that you didn't want and other people buying it And I've seen some absolutely marvelous things in there My absolute favorite thing that happened in the entirety of emf was walking past the the bring and donate at some point Someone was holding a guy a counter. I went is that a guy counting went. Yeah, it's a guy counter But I know I can't really test it. I don't know if it works So I went all there's a radioactive uranium source just in that tent over there And someone walking past just burst out laughing. It was absolutely brilliant. So it's favorite thing that happened We also had one power outage in Leadbury that nobody noticed because apparently we still had power and the castle still had power But nobody else in Leadbury did so But it almost took out our internet connection So to our power team were running around desperately put a new generator in and got it plugged in just in time for the Power to come back on so thanks for that. Sorry it went wrong We also had one unplanned Tesla coil incident Which is par for the course because it also happened in 2018 But also if you're going to bring a Tesla coil, can you please tell us so we don't put it next the very expensive things that get fried by Tesla coils? Anyway Badges the I already mentioned you've got your badges Or hopefully we've all got your badges We will continue to release firmware updates of the badges over the coming weeks as promised in the opening talk We will release the update that adds the u2f Fido's security key function in the coming weeks Hopefully sooner rather than later, but we're all very tired and the badge team I think don't want to touch the badges for quite some time now So I'll see how that goes and it does over the air updates So just connect it to your home Wi-Fi network and then every now and then check for updates We will email you when these things come out There will be post event emails not many because we don't want to spam you but just make sure you update it So you get extra features that they come out later There's a capture of flat capture the flag event on site which I'm fairly sure about half the audience a lot. I don't even know what that is I don't know where it is and to be honest. I didn't say anything bad either, but I've been quite busy This is essentially a challenge set up community security challenge people trying to break into stuff We run it every single year the team that run it are brilliant Unfortunately, they keep putting me down as one of the targets for the capture the flag Which I'm not very happy about I don't know if it happened this year. I haven't found out but I would like to say Congratulations to Grace Hopper's posse who won with 404 points. So congratulations there, especially Especially because that team returned after playing in 2018 where they came third and I've got to first this time So congratulations to you as an awesome achievement. Well done So you talk about some serious things, which is all of our team now I actually just realized we haven't done this can all the MF team who are in here right now who are capable of it Can you all come and sit on the front at the stage? Right now It's not I don't care if it's not big enough sit on each other's knees Come on all of you everyone who's here don't hide. I think we're gonna need a bigger stage Obviously the AV team are still at the back, but you know right so and all of the EMF team these radios Can all of the EMF team not currently sat on stage a please report to stage a to sit on stage a Anyway, we'll see if more people show up should have done that before sorry So everyone's out on the stage. This is a fraction of the team I am just one of the people that make this event happen all these people have done different things both on-site off-site and Many more of them are still elsewhere on the site currently working to keep the event happening to prepare for later feeding people Still building null sector probably because we build that until the very end and This wouldn't happen without all of these wonderful people and every single one of these people sat on this stage is unpaid They have bought their own ticket to this event They are here just the same as you are but they have put so much time in in the months leading up to this in the years leading up to this in some case and We need all of them and we need more people than this. This isn't enough people to do an event of this size We just about get by with what we have so in the future We need you as well And I know there are people sat in the audience who I've spoken to who've said I want to be involved in this event I want to make this happen and we want you we want you to help us make this happen again Because if you don't it won't happen. We can't keep doing it like we are we're all burned out We're tired, but we want to come back. So I Want you to give a utterly deafening round of applause for all the people here? I know we did it in the opening, but we're gonna do it again I want it to be so loud that they can hear it at the other end of the field. I Don't care if there's nobody there It's just in case Yeah, the null sector bar is open and there's people DJing and I want them to hear it and be really annoyed that someone's a bit loud so Everybody applaud now. Anyway, we can do that at the end or now So these people they made the event happen in the first place and they've run the event during it But we also couldn't have done it without all the volunteers all the people who came and volunteered on site And as I said earlier on we had actually I'm not sure if I actually put that in there We had hundreds of people volunteer for this event and they did everything from running the bar to keep doing the AV at the back like people are doing right now at 550 something that's all we really know but 550 odd people who did things on site to keep it going and we cannot do it Without them it would not work. So Just so we've got a show of hands here. Who is volunteered at the event? Can you sprays your hand? Oh That's some good numbers Now you applaud these people Thank you so much for giving up your time during the event I know there's so much to see and do and it's hard to try and pull yourself away But without you doing that this could not happen. So thank you so much for that Unfortunately we need to ask a little bit more of you We still have to make all of this go away again, and it's quite a lot of things So we have four days to get the event torn down And there's quite a lot of people who are volunteering to help tear down But tomorrow morning, especially in fact tomorrow just in general we have to get all the stages cleared out We have to get null sector taken down We have to do all of these things if you can stay around for tomorrow morning If you can spend a bit of time just helping move things around. It's not particularly hard work It's just hard to in terms of number of people and we would really appreciate your help All you need to do is hang around and we will put you to work moving chairs stacking things whatever Please if you can help that would be awesome I Don't know if it's even feasible for people to stay longer than that I know I want us to get back to work if you can stay for a few more days. That would be amazing I'm sorry about the rain. We don't have a weather control machine I keep asking for one, but no one seems to submit one to the CFP. So future years You also have to thank our sponsors briefly just because without them we wouldn't have most of the things that we do at the onsite We wouldn't have the wonderful childcare. You wouldn't have your badges We wouldn't have we wouldn't be able to pay for speakers who need help to get here We wouldn't be able to cover tickets to people who can't afford to come otherwise all of that is all the live transcription Which is going over there. Hopefully I can't see All of that is made possible by the sponsors. So thank you to all the sponsors. I know a lot of them are on site Thank you so much for that So I mentioned before we want to come back. We want to come back to this site Hopefully with fingers crossed we're working on it But we really do need help. We really do need people to volunteer for the organization We need people to come on board and work to build the event with us to build the event Months in advance to do the boring work of emailing people and calling people and generally being quite disappointed when people say no all the time but we need people to help us do that it's we don't have enough people right now and Frankly a few of the teams this year were on absolute skeleton crews and are for teardown as well and Each of those teams is critical to this event happening and if we don't get help with them in the future We cannot run this event every single part fits together in the jigsaw and without one piece it will fall apart Please if you have time and you think you can contribute to this like get in touch with us I promise you it is really fun and you meet amazing people and you will do things you thought were impossible I mean we're frequently told that this is impossible that this event cannot happen That you can't ensure that that actually why would anyone do that anyway? and People just don't think it's a thing that can happen and it only happens because we're willing to put the time in and that people are willing to put the time in to do things that are Frankly a bit stupid half the time like none of this really makes financial sense But we do it anyway and all of you made that happen and we need your help to do it in the future so These people hopefully most of them come back We can't guarantee it But if you would like to be stood on this stage looking back at near a thousand people Feeling quite good about what you've done with your time Come back in 2024. We'd like to have you and that's honestly about it We really want to thank all of you for coming. Thank you for supporting us over the years Thank you for repeatedly coming back from when we were originally started with a bar under a motorway that frankly shouldn't have been there anyway and You're still here and I was walking around the site my just on my own at three o'clock in the morning of the night going oh my god What have we done like how is this happening and thank you for doing supporting us with this Thank you for believing that it can work and and thank you for having a good time We really hope to see you again in two years Hopefully, I mean it will we'll see after what's happened before If you see any of these people around the site after this you see anyone wearing high veers You see anyone who's doing a shift on the bar or doing something say thank you to them Just make sure they feel good for what they've done and the time they've spent The rest of the evening there is still content on there is music on stage Be be I can never remember this Be for bands see for cinema. I know Hmm. Oh, there are films. I genuinely didn't know this film. There's films There's films and no sector will be open until one Is that right one or 12 until midnight the bar must be drunk dry Please don't leave us with all the beer because we'll have to drink it And the flamethrowers must use all of all the propane so we'll be using all of that as well I don't have any propane statistics. Sorry. Someone did ask so I don't know how much we have this 100 kilos we have 100 kilos of propane left to burn so There'll be quite a lot of flames And that is absolutely everything. Thank you so much for coming. I hope you had a wonderful event My final request is that when you leave this tent, please pick up your chair and stack it at the side over here. Oh Stack it on the pallets outside. We're much more organized this year. I Actually have one final thing I didn't put into my slide deck and I want to just call it out quickly here Some people will have noticed that people called out our speaker diversity issues on the sign outside We absolutely hear that and we want to address it and we will do our best for that. Thank you for calling out Thank you for holding us to account it means a lot to us and we will do our best to make that better for next time
