Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.02,0:05:50.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,first thing I focused on was to get the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.99,0:05:55.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,keynote speakers. As somebody was pointing\Nout to me

Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.69,0:06:08.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,becomes very easy to sell the conference to\Nothers.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.03,0:06:30.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being here, a lot of people decided to come
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.55,0:06:32.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here. We got a lot of sponsors to pay

Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.15,0:06:57.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We can't keep having Chad come here every\Ntime
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.23,0:06:59.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we want to have a conference. So we need

Dialogue: 0,0:07:06.68,0:07:09.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lot of times, and make a name for themselves,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.26,0:07:11.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that when you go to another place, or
Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.94,0:07:15.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some city to give a talk, people pay to
Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.22,0:07:19.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,come and see you. So we'll get there in
Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.20,0:07:21.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a couple of years. Who wants to take up
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.80,0:07:27.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that challenge? Nice. Nice to see a few hands
Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.27,0:07:34.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go up. The next thing I want to talk
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.19,0:07:40.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about is the first, the organization behind\Nthis conference.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.89,0:07:43.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when I first started talking about this\Nconference,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.95,0:07:49.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my original idea was that we'll go with ITT.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:49.12,0:07:54.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ITT is the entity which puts up RubyConf India.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:59.18,0:08:03.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,four annual Ruby conferences in India. And\Nyou already
Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.56,0:08:06.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,heard from Ajay in the morning about the background
Dialogue: 0,0:08:06.37,0:08:11.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of those conferences. Very soon in the process\NI
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.60,0:08:14.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,realized that may not work out for me, or
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.79,0:08:21.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at least, what I was trying to accomplish.\NIf
Dialogue: 0,0:08:21.57,0:08:25.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we had gone with ITT, it would mostly have
Dialogue: 0,0:08:25.40,0:08:27.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,been, again, Ajey, Gautam and a few others\Ndoing
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.78,0:08:30.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,most of the work, or taking most of the
Dialogue: 0,0:08:30.23,0:08:37.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,key decisions. And there's no - it would just
Dialogue: 0,0:08:37.11,0:08:41.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be another RubyConf India. I wanted a totally\Nnew
Dialogue: 0,0:08:41.06,0:08:44.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,team to come up, learn from scratch how to
Dialogue: 0,0:08:44.38,0:08:48.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,do all this. How to do, get sponsors, how
Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.76,0:08:51.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to put up a program, how to organi- do
Dialogue: 0,0:08:51.56,0:08:55.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all the logistics stuff required for setting\Nup a
Dialogue: 0,0:08:55.10,0:08:57.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,good conference. So I decided in the very\Nbeginning,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:57.92,0:08:59.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,OK, not, we are not going to go with
Dialogue: 0,0:08:59.37,0:09:01.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ITT. We are going to start a- we'll have
Dialogue: 0,0:09:01.43,0:09:07.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a new, non-profit entity created. And so maybe,\Nit
Dialogue: 0,0:09:07.99,0:09:10.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,took us awhile to get there, but two months
Dialogue: 0,0:09:10.51,0:09:14.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,later I think we had our trust. So these
Dialogue: 0,0:09:14.78,0:09:21.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are the six trust members. So among the organizing
Dialogue: 0,0:09:22.25,0:09:24.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,team, it's me and Tejas who are not on
Dialogue: 0,0:09:24.81,0:09:28.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the trust, for different reasons. Everyone\Nelse is on

Dialogue: 0,0:14:09.32,0:14:14.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some exceptions. Like the Rails Girls, we\Nthought, OK,

Dialogue: 0,0:14:56.30,0:14:59.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the rating, we also decided that we would\Nnot

Dialogue: 0,0:15:15.14,0:15:18.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,negated many of them in the top, because Emily's

Dialogue: 0,0:15:36.83,0:15:38.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,good talk and I think we learned quite a
