A
All
right,
hi
everyone,
my
name-
is
John
I'm
on
the
community
relations
team
at
get
lab.
I
know
a
lot
of
the
people
here
already,
but
I'm
just
saying
that
for
the
few
folks
I
don't
know,
and
also
for
the
people,
they're
gonna
be
watching
on
YouTube
I
always
like
to
start
our
meetups.
By
talking
about
our
code
of
conduct,
get
lab.
One
of
our
values
is
diversity
and
inclusion,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
everybody
in
our
community
feels
comfortable
and
so
I'm
sharing
the
code
of
conduct
in
the
zoom
chat.
A
You
can
open
that
by
clicking
on
the
chat
bubble
at
the
bottom.
I'd
ask
everyone
to
take
a
look
at
that.
If
you
have
any
concerns
or
want
to
report
a
code
of
conduct
violation,
you
can
use
the
zoom
chat
to
send
me
a
DM
or
you
can
email
me
evangelist
at
gitlab
comm,
which
I'm
also
putting
in
the
zoom
chat,
and
you
can
send
me
an
email
there
and
I'll
work
with
you
to
you
know,
resolve
the
situation
thanks
for
joining
us.
A
This
is
our
first
virtual
meet-up
that
we
planned
using
our
new
virtual
meetup
group.
Meetup
calm,
not
without
some
difficulties,
apparently
there's
a
scheduling
issue
where,
when
you
edit
this
to
your
calendar,
it
was
showing
that
started
three
hours
ago,
so
I
actually
had
to
come
into
the
zoom
room
three
hours
ago
and
talk
to
a
few
folks.
So
I
think
that
might
be
part
of
the
reason
why
we
have
a
little
bit
of
a
smaller
crowd
today,
but
the
right
people,
everyone
who's
supposed
to
be
here
is
here.
A
So
thanks
for
joining
us
for
folks
are
new
to
get
lab.
You
know
we're
a
complete
DevOps
platform
tool.
It
delivered
as
a
single
application.
So
there's
one
interface,
one
conversation
one
permission
model
we
release
every
month
on
the
22nd,
so
that's
coming
up
soon
and
yeah
we've
released
about
nineteen
hundred
features
over
the
last
three
years,
so
the
products
always
improving.
It's
an
open
court
company,
so
we,
you
know,
have
lots
of
contributors.
A
A
One
other
thing
about
lab
I
like
to
mention
we're
actually
two
other
things
with
the
largest
all
remote
company
in
the
world.
So
if
you've
just
been
kind
of
started
to
work
remotely
due
to
the
global
pandemic,
we
have
lots
of
great
information
in
our
handbook
and
our
handbook
is
how
we
run
our
company
and
it's
totally
open
and
transparent.
Transparency
is
one
of
our
values.
So
we
share
our
roadmaps
our
strategy
and
how
we
run
our
company
through
the
handbook.
So
I'd
encourage
you
to
check
that
out.
A
A
We
have
two
folks
from
our
gitlab
commit
team,
Abu,
Bakar
and
Emily
and
they're
gonna,
be
sharing
lots
of
great
tips
and
answering
questions
along
the
way,
and
then
you
know
at
the
end
we
can
do
you
know
some
discussion
and,
and
that
kind
of
thing
similar
to
what
you'd
have
at
our
you
know,
in-person
Meetup.
So
a
couple
of
things
I
like
to
encourage
people
to
do
before
we
get
started.
One
would
be,
you
know,
take
this
time
for
yourself
close
the
other
tabs
close
the
other
windows.
B
B
B
B
Technically
I
didn't
program
manager
at
get
labs
and
I'll,
be
sharing
a
few
tips
on
how
generally
detect
a
vandalism
semantics
lab
Christ
able
to
get
a
lot
of
success
with
submitting
CFPs
I'm
getting
quite
a
number
of
them
accepted.
So
the
first
thing
I
want
to
share
is
CFP
they're,
like
other
P
CFP,
including
Key
Club
commit
has
a
guideline
physically.
What
is
been
expected?
What's
the
kind
of
Oh.
B
Audience
you'll
be
talking
to,
and
it
can
be
shown
that
any
time
when
she's
talking
about
trucks
and
so
on
now
the
guidelines
for
every
CFP
is
very
important.
Its
stated
this
is
exactly
what
is
expected
is
the
kind
of
audience
that
is
expected,
so
the
guidelines
guides
you
to
be
able
to
put
together
away
on
some
CFP
now.
The
next
thing
is,
what
exactly
is
been
expected
for
you
to
share
I.
B
Think
Emily
should
be
able
to
tell
us
that
the
dice
are
you
sharing
your
cake,
lap
story,
so
I'm
sharing
some
totally
passive
content.
That
is
also
important
in
cross
two
to
get
your
CSV
accepted
and
also,
if
demos
most
times
timers,
are
welcome
and
lets
you
build
credibility
as
it
shows
that
you
actually
know
what
you're
doing
and
you
you
are
able
to
demonstrate
the
thing
you
guys
say
so,
knowing
clearly,
if
you'll
be
able
to
do
CFDs
and
how
you
should
prepare
yourself.
B
This
is
also
important,
while
making
a
submission
now
at
gift,
lab,
usually
use
a
model
go
to
write
our
CF
piece.
The
first
thing
is
the
situation:
s
CQ,
a
situation
complication
question-and-answer.
Now
situation
is
okay:
what's
the
situation
around
the
solution
area
trying
to
present,
probably
you
first
introduced
like
more
like
a
preamble.
Okay.
This
is
the
situation
about
this
particular
issue
and
talking
about
then
complication
rises
so
complicated.
B
B
Now
next
I'll
be
sharing
an
example.
Obviously
this
is
not
best
of
the
best
CFP
points
one
is
introduced
to
submit
to
a
top
recently
and
got
accepted
and
I
was
able
to
present
it
first
name
from
the
introductions
I'm
able
to
keep.
What's
the
situation
of
this
out
there
with
secret
secrets,
are
hard
to
keep
sick.
They
are
hard
to
maintain,
and
so
on
so
excited
with
showing
was
the
situation
are
today.
Then
next
is
the
competition.
B
So
even
the
fact
that
secrets
are
hard
to
keep
how
complicated
does
it
get
when,
especially
when
it
comes
to
set
automation
and
about
who's,
and
a
lot
of
situations
has
happened
now
we
have
C
prosthetic,
spruce
in
job
blogs
and
other
things
so
I'm
able
to
tell
okay.
This
is
the
situation
we
have.
This
is
the
competition
around
the
situation,
then
the
next
thing
is
then,
what
I
try
to
serve
us?
B
The
question
yeah
and
here
I
said
this-
are
difficult
to
market
to
manage
the
strain
ovulation
with
what
to
products
cross
the
ratings,
then
encryption,
secure,
storage
and
frequent
rotation
of
secrets
and
penisy,
but
only
if
you
choose
are
available,
that's
a
kind
of
crystals.
Okay,
if
you
choose
a
variable,
the
hosted
solution
was
the
answer,
but
that's
where
I
introduced,
Russia,
compote
here
and
also
now
the
reason
I'm
presenting
this
was
because
the
club
recently
introduced
support
for
using
joint
as
an
authentication
for
votes
in
our
last
movie.
B
So
that's
the
channel
plaintiff
cookies
here
so
and
power.
My
answer
here
is
mountain
views.
Hasha
controlled
to
keep
your
secret
safe
now
and
one
about
unity
is
because,
most
times
when
people
go
to
dogs
awesome,
they
are
actually
going
there
to
learner
to
see
something.
Media
23
main
so
I
do
something
that
would
tell
them.
B
This
is
what
you
get
at
the
end
of
the
day,
and
this
is
how
you
can
implement
that
Italian
derivative
also
kusanagi
on
is
really
just
like
the
summary
of
your
CFP,
so
the
person
reading
the
CFP,
you
will
be
able
to
understand.
Okay,
if
explain
the
situation
around
things,
it
explained
the
complication
and,
if
also
giving
more,
like
hypothesis
or
question
and
the
complication
and
an
answer,
a
solution
that
you
sharing
with
the
world
and
the
specifics
of
what
the
people
listening
to
you
are
going
to
get
out
of
your
CF
Guardian
DVD.
B
Now
then,
but
is
an
example
of
how
we
add
Key
Club,
prepare
our
CFDs
to
watch
them
getting
accepted
and
was
contributing
to
any
presentation
that
has
happening
out
there.
Now.
The
couple
of
tips
that
I
want
to
share
is
production
results.
Ironic
greet
establish
credibility
in
the
sense
that
we
are
people
would
love
to
talk
to
and
hear
from
someone
who
is
actually
sharing
result
of
from
a
problem
they
try
to
solve.
For
example,
yeah.
Yes,
you
can
sree
and
you've
tried
a
couple
of
things.
You've
implemented.
B
A
couple
of
solutions
tried
a
couple
of
tools
before
the
before
coming
to
do
that
actually
work
for
you
that
kind
of
result
actually
tickles,
because
friends
and
they
want
to
learn
more
and
more
more.
The
next
one
is
cook.
Another
talk
end
up
being
too
broad
that
you
end
up
not
getting
okay.
What
exactly
is
a
lien
for
this,
so
China
as
much
as
possible
to
scope
down
to
a
specific
topic
or
area.
B
Then
you
go
deep
in
that
class.
Good
I,
selected,
okay,
I
was
talking
about
secret
and
I'm,
talking
specifically
about
Hasek
abroad
and
even
in
a
Chicago
in
the
last
CFP
submission,
a
train.
I
was
speaking
specifically
about
using
joint
authentication,
so
that
is
the
specific
team
talking
about.
So
ideally,
we
do
when
I'm
talking
I'm
choosing
just
about
player
and
I
can
be
comprehensive
about
it.
Now.
The
next
thing
is
most
time
to
ACF
piece.
B
The
guidelines
usually
include
or
retract,
really
include
telling
you
whether
the
audience
are
beginners
or
the
intermediate
or
the
advice
so
trying
to
understand
the
kind
of
audience
you
be
speaking
to
politics.
Ef
is
also
important
so
that
you
don't
end
up
going
to
tell
people
of
the
austin
state
already
know
or
doing
the
CLP
screaming
the
the
committee
will
relocate.
This
quite
obvious.
There's
no
need
to
accepts
the
CSD.
B
One
of
the
things
we
do
in
detector,
evangelism
mudkip
lab,
is
to
go
to
the
CFP.
Try
to
see
if
we
are
able
to
identify
who
are
the
committee.
They
are
interest.
Sometimes
the
company
they
work
for
and
so
on,
so
that
we
can
on
the
standards,
will
be
going
through
your
mind
when
you
see
HP's
and
so
on.
B
B
The
challenges
are,
if
is
people
face
now
through
to
the
right
keywords
in
your
title:
I'm
not
making
it
somehow
gimmicky
that
it's
not
easy
to
decipher
exactly
we're
talking
about,
for
example,
in
the
Tokaido
should
previously
the
tightest
is
high
Leslie
perplexities
secret.
So
this
is
the
a
couple
of
key
web
serie,
the
CIC
pipeline
and
secrets,
and
anyone
just
looking
at
this
tattoo
already
understand
what
you
wanted
exactly
this
person
will
be
talking
about.
So
in
creating
your
CSV
right,
you'll
see
a
few
tattoos.
B
B
Yeah
I
think
that's
the
everything
I
have
in
terms
of
tips,
but,
most
importantly
I
will
repeat
this
again.
This
is
seq
a
model
that
we
use,
because
sometimes
this
kind
of
gets
muddy
when
you're
trying
to
write
up
CFP.
The
first
thing
is
this
situation:
what
exactly
is
the
situation
around
the
topic
or
the
idea
you
are
trying
to
talk
about
now
from
the
situation
more
like
a
pre
language,
meaning
reason
why
this
is
important.
Why
I
should
listen
to
it?
Then
why
is
it
difficult?
Was
the
competition
around
our
situation,
then?
B
The
next
thing
is
the
question:
what
exactly
is
the?
What
exactly
are
we
trying
to
solve
here
from
the
complication?
Then
the
uncertainty
knows
okay.
This
is
the
solution
than
Scott.
Even
if
it's
not
a
solution,
it's
what
you've
done
so
far
that
you
can
learn
form
not
from
stanza.
So
in
your
CFP
submission,
basically
including
things
that
capture
this
form
is
very
important,
then
including
what
the
audience
will
learn
from
your
top
contender,
fitting
yeah
I.
That's
everything.
I
have
to
share
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
later
after
Emily's.
A
C
Excellent
I
guess
I
should
unmute
myself
when
I
start
talking
so
in
advance.
Apologies
because
there's
my
gonna
be
some
banging,
but
let
me
know
if
you
can't
hear
anything.
Thank
you
a
little
car.
Yes,
we're
really
excited
for
the
CFP
I
believe
everyone
has
already
seen
the
link,
but
just
in
case
I
will
chat
it
to
this
group.
C
John
can
chat
it
to
this
group
because
where's
my
other
two
Smithers,
my
chat.
Okay,
so
please
feel
free
to
read
along,
but
I
wanted
to
just
give
a
quick
overview
of
this
call
for
proposals,
sorry
for
the
noise
and
how
it
does
differ
from
years
past.
Oh,
if
she
came
to
last
year's
get
lab
commit.
Is
this
any
more
helpful?
Can
you
hear
me?
C
The
tracks
and
selection
committee
have
evolved
based
on
our
feedback,
based
on
kind
of
how
we
saw
the
events
play
out
and
based
on
the
fact
that
this
year's
event
will
be
fully
virtual.
It'll,
be
twenty
four
hours
and
everything
will
be
pre-recorded,
so
it'll
be
really
great.
We'll
have
a
lot
of
time
to
prepare
and
hopefully
get
the
best
content
out
there
which
we
did
before,
but
we'll
have
more
bandwidth
to
do
it
because
it'll
be
a
24
hour
event,
so,
based
on
very
helpful
feedback,
we
made
the
call
for
proposal
all
one
page.
C
So
in
case
you
haven't
already,
you
can
scroll
through
the
entire
list
of
questions
requirements
know
what
you're
getting
yourself
into
before
you
have
to
click
through
everything
and
so
I
think
the
most
exciting
part
is:
we've
updated
the
close
date
to
Friday
June
5th,
instead
of
Monday
June
1st
I
think
we're
getting
a
lot
of
interest.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
people
have
time
to
get
all
of
their
ideas
in
and
the
sessions
we
will
have
our
15
minutes,
30
minutes
in
45
minutes
and
ideally
a
max
of
two
presenters
per
submission.
C
C
We
have
a
lot
of
tracks
this
time
around
in
our
previous
commits,
we
really
wanted
to
hone
in
on
maybe
two
or
three
tracks
of
content,
but
this
time,
because
it's
a
virtual
event
and
because
we
do
have
more
time
on
the
platform
we
have
six
tracks
and
the
tips
and
tricks
on
how
to
write
your
abstract
on
how
to
craft.
Your
title
will
be
super
helpful
when
you
tailor
them
to
each
of
these
six
tracks,
so
I
wanted
to
just
overview
them
very
quickly.
C
In
case,
that's
helpful
for
you
to
select
what's
the
best
track
for
my
talk,
get
lab
how
to's
tips
and
tricks.
Obviously
this
is
gonna-
be
get
lab
focused
on
how
to
really
optimize
using
get
lab.
These
talks
may
have
some
overlap
between
leading
transformation.
Cloud
native
everyone
can
contribute
and
remote,
but
always
connected,
but
these
are
really
more
focused
on
the
technical
elements,
so
those
live.
Demos
will
really
find
a
good
home
here
leading
transformation,
as
seen
in
our
San
Francisco
commit.
C
This
is
about
really
inspiring
cultural
change
and
how
you
kind
of
grew
the
transformation
within
an
organization
cloud
native
DevOps,
and
this
can
also
be
a
great
place
for
live
demos.
We
have
a
technical
audience.
The
event
will
actually
be
hosted
by
media
ops,
aka,
DevOps
comm,
so
we'll
have
a
very
technical,
focused
audience,
dev,
sec,
ops,
of
course,
because
we
are
get
lab,
a
full
service,
full
lifecycle
platform.
C
C
So
we
want
to
hear
the
stories
of
how
people
are
making
this
work,
particularly
in
a
technical
environment
when
you
might
have
had
the
opportunity
for
team
stand-ups
when
you
might
have
had
the
opportunity,
for
you
know,
lots
of
synchronous
work.
How
do
you
work
now,
so
each
of
these
tracks
will
have
a
specific
track
management
team,
so
you'll
be
having
a
review
committee
that
is
highly
honed
in
on
each
track.
C
C
What
we
really
would
love
to
hear
about
as
well
is,
if
you
have
any
previous
recordings
or
talks,
we
just
want
to
hear
you.
We
want
to
hear
your
personality
comes
through
and
that's
something
that
we're
really
excited
about
right.
We
have
such
great
voices
in
the
industry.
We
want
to
hear
your
voice,
not
just
your
story
but
like
you
and
so
don't
be
afraid
to
to
personalize
to
customize
as
a
book
I
said
not
too
gimmicky,
but
make
sure
that
we
know
who
you
are
not
just
who
your
topic
is.
C
A
C
C
Let's
see,
Karen
asks:
how
long
should
the
proposal
be?
Is
that
correct
so
I
believe?
Maybe
a
more
helpful
approach
would
be
it's
not
it's
not
the
proposal
length
itself,
but
does
it
answer
those
questions
that
have
a
pro
car
laid
out
the
does
it
lay
out
the
situation?
Why
should
the
audience
care
about
this
proposal?
The
complication?
C
Why
does
it
matter
I,
guess
the
situation
is
what
the
competition
is.
Why
a
question
and
answer,
how
are
you
saying
that
either
you
solved
it
or
you're
planning
to
solve
it,
so
it
can
be
a
shorter
as
long
as
as
you
need
to
explain
that
and
but
to
be
able
to
touch
on
those
key
questions
will
really
help
the
selection
committee
understand
what
do
we
do
like?
Why
is
this
going
to
benefit
the
committe
community
to
learn
from
the
speaker?
Does
a
miss
your
question.
A
C
A
I
was
wondering
as
far
as
maybe
at
the
how
to
category
but
other
certain
features
of
agate
lab,
or
you
know,
recent
additions.
The
platform
that
you're
looking
to
highlight
you
know
would
it
help
to
submit
talks
around.
You
know
something
maybe
like
its
current
and
unique
new
features
along
those
lines.
You
know
versus
just
the
same
old
things
we've
seen
in
the
past.
That's.
C
A
C
A
C
A
Yeah
I
actually
have
another
question,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
people
that
have
spoken
at
commit
before
on
the
call
today,
which
is
very
cool,
I'm
curious.
Like
could
you
share
some
of
the
things
that
we
learned
with
the
commit
events
that
we
planned
late
last
year
and
and
earlier
this
year,
that
will
impact
or
influence
how
we
look
at
the
you
know:
agenda
building
process
and
the
review
process
for
this
virtual
commit.
C
Yes,
so
yeah
we
had
so
many
amazing
speakers
last
year.
I
think
one
of
the
things
we're
trying
to
be
cognizant
of
this
year
is
we
want
to
ensure
that
the
content
that
was
really
highly
received
or
well
received
makes
an
appearance
again.
We
don't.
We
don't
want
to
repeat
content
because,
as
you
all
know,
our
recordings
are
live
on
YouTube.
Anyone
can
watch
them,
but
there
are
certain
stories
that
are
super
compelling
and
as
a
buck
I
mentioned.
C
Those
are
the
ones
that
are
like
real
world
you're,
not
alone,
I,
think
a
lot
of
times.
People
are
test
with
finding
a
solution
or
tasked
with
dealing
with
some
sort
of
organizational
challenge,
and
then
just
hearing
kind
of
the
war
stories
helps
to
really
put
things
in
perspective
as
well
as
show
like.
C
A
Follow
up
on
the
the
feedback
topic,
I,
think
between
Brooklyn
and
San
Francisco,
like
the
the
scattered
feedback,
was,
was
broken
and
we
weren't
able
to
actually
harvest
the
information.
Do
you
know
if
if
anyone
ever
figured
out
how
to
get
that
feedback
or
as
a
presenter
I
actually
never
got
really
any
like
thumbs
up
thumbs
down
and
so
I
didn't
know?
If
that
was
accessible
to
us
or
great.
A
C
So
I'm
speaking
of
technical
difficulties,
we're
still
figuring
out,
so
the
platform
will
be
on
DevOps
comm,
so
I
believe
sign
ups
will
be
on
there
as
well,
so
everything
will
be
in
one
place
in
terms
of
the
content.
The
sign
ups
registration,
everything,
but
don't
quote
me
on
that,
because
I
am
I,
will
confirm
with
the
team
who's
actually
setting
up
the
event.
But
let
me
check
or.
A
B
A
A
A
I'm,
sorry,
what
would
be
the
best
way
to
get
that?
Do
you
think
we
should
send
that
out
just
to
Kyle
for
asking,
or
should
we
send
something
like
to
all
the
past
speakers
that
gives
like
an
overview
of
which
you
know,
talks
ranked
highest
on
a
feedback
level
or
attendance
level
or
whatever
like,
since
we
have
a
lot
of
pet
speakers
here.
You
know
what
would
be
helpful
to
you,
because
we
could
probably
put
something
like
that
together
and
send
it
out
to
everyone
to
help
inform
you
know,
submissions
for
this
process.
I,
wonder.
