Morning briefing (22/08/15)

Welcome everyone!

Today is the last day of DebConf 15.

I hope you enjoyed it so far.

If you haven't, make sure
you enjoy it today.

(laughter

So, we've already mentioned this
a couple of times,

but just in case you were not there,

you need to checkout at 10.

If you are leaving day is today,

you basically need to check out now.

The hostel has some space where you
can put your luggage.

So you can leave your luggage and enjoy
the rest of your day,

but you need to leave your room by then.

Also we've already mentioned

we have several ways of giving feedback.

We really want your feedback, good or bad.

You can edit the wiki and put it there

so that everyone can see.

You can send it by mail.

Only a few people read that mail

and then the results will be anonymized.

So if you don't want everyone
to see what you think,

you can send it by mail.

And if you feel like it
was a great conference

and you really enjoyed,

there are some post cards for
the Orga team at the front.

There's where you can leave a
short message saying,

"Oh, I really liked it", or whatever.

But for the postcards

we prefer good feedback.

(laughter)

There will be a tip jar.

Did you bring it?

Well it's actually a tip box,

but it says tip jar.

That's for the hostel,

so if you feel like the hostel staff
treated you well

and you want to appreciate that,
you can do that.

So you can also, if you have money left

in your card.

This card.

If you have money left in your

colorful card, you can leave the card

and that can also be a tip jar

or you can get your money back,
depending on what you want.

The tip jar will be outside.

There are some attendee T-shirts left

that are on sale for 15 Euros.

There will also be other swag,

like lanyards, water bottles, Bierkrugs,
and USB fans that we gave to some people

that you can buy at the front desk.

Prices will be there.

And if you didn't get an attendee bag
when you checked in

because we didn't know exactly how many
people would turn up

and for some late resistance, we didn't
give an attendee bag

you can get one now
because we have enough.

And finally for the cleanup,

we will need volunteers for the cleanup.

Which will start after dinner.

So will do the closing ceremony,

then we will have dinner.

And after dinner we will do the cleanup.

If you feel like you can give a hand,

please help out.

Okay, for the raffle today,

we don't have the actual items here

so we will need to write down your
name and address so we can ship it.

The first one, we do have something,

which is this laptop sleeve.

Oh, we actually got the laptop?
Great.

(laughter and applause)

Okay, so the first item for
today's raffle is

sponsored by one of our silver sponsors,
Meinberg, maker of NTP devices.

They have agreed to give a Libreboot X200

to the winner.

And once you- that's it, that's right,

bring it up here.

(laughter)

The winner will get it shipped directly
from the UK.

Alright, so let's start this.

Ina Faye-Lund, are you here?

No.

(nervous laugh from speaker)

Harsh Daftary?

Also not here.

Ying-Chun Liu?

(applause)

Okay, so Martin will write down the
people's details so that they can

get the things.

Now I have to explain the other things.

So the other things that we have

are some NAS servers, which
are prototypes, so they-

(laughter)

They may or may not work!

But you know you're getting them for free.

NAS servers is correct,

you can use them as a NAS server,

but they are actually products from
a small startup in Hamburg.

Their idea was to create these little
boxes that can be your personal cloud.

So the experimental platform which we're
giving out three of them today

is actually a device that is
designed to be

your cloud server that you can have
on your desk.

I think it's a very cool project, and

they are running Ubuntu, and when

they were chatting whether the surprise
is exceptable to people because it might

not work properly, it's all free software
and stuff, then I said that,

"probably there is no better place than to
give these away right here."

(laughter)

Alright, so we have three of them,

and they will get shipped to you.

We don't have them. They will get shipped
to you by the company.

So we will need three winners.

[inaudible audience member]

Yeah yeah. (laughter)

(laughter and applause)

(Thomas) That's me!

(more laughter)

The name of the company is Protonet.

Protonet.

I will show the website again
after the raffle.

Nigel.

(applause)

Eder Marques?

He's here!

(applause)

So I will show the webpage again.

So the website is protonet.info.

This is actually the device that these
three people are getting.

Yeah, it's beta.

It's supposed to be little cubes like
this hexagons.

That's right, well they still call
them cubes.

But actually, there's no casing for the
ones that you get.

(laughter)

That's great isn't it,

so you can choose your own.

(laughter)

Alright so, that's it for the
morning briefings.

In six minutes we have Jacob's talk.

If you need to checkout, go run and
checkout now.
