Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In a group like this
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if somebody makes that happen and I can promise you it is not me -- I suck at event organization.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact I got here yesterday morning and I asked the organizers
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for some numbers about the conference
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I suggested it might be interesting for everybody to know what the whole thing cost
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and what part of that cost you're registration fee paid for.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I wanted to know some other things like how many CVP proposals they evaluated,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like there's a ton of work somebody received the t-shirts, somebody got all the signs mades
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,somebody arranged the AV
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Abby who is one of the organizers told me that if I would send her an email she would answer despite
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the fact that she had millions of things to do yesterday she would answer
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,me back that day just so I could tell you from stage.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then of course I forgot to send that email.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I got an email from her last night that said "What do you need? I will look those numbers up and get them to you by tomorrow morning."
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And by that point I thought, it was enough really
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it adequately demonstrated to me the difference between me and her already
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I don't have that data for you but what I am going to do
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,let's do two things, so somebody made it possible for us to be here
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I am enormously grateful

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the sponsors are putting up money
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it really really matters
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm gonna name thing, OpenGov, Bugsnag, Constant Contact, EngineYard, NineFold, StitchFix, PluralSight, RackSpace, WePay,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's part of what makes us, our culture
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gets built when we get to be together like this.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so my job here is not to just be grateful to

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At least your past if you look like me.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you're of european descent.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you're from west of here, if you're from Japan, China or Korea

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're story is a little bit different.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But all of these histories are like tributaries and

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and leave eventually to the present so that we're all here together
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this story, this story i'm gonna tell you starts with scrolls
