A
Everybody
thank
you.
Thank
you.
That's
a
good
way
to
start
my
day,
I
think
I'm
gonna
have
a
good
day.
So
thank
you.
You
know
I
recommend,
starting
your
day
with
applause
from
a
crowd.
My
name
is
Todd
Barr
I'm,
the
chief
marketing
officer
of
gitlab
and
I'm,
really
pleased
that
you're
here.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us
a
couple
of
little
housekeeping
things.
One
is
the
Wi-Fi
information
is
on
your
lanyard.
A
A
So
please
make
sure
you
have
that
on
I'm
wearing
mine,
because
I'm
wearing
an
orange
one,
because
I'm
with
gitlab,
if
you're
wearing
a
purple
one
you're
a
participant
here,
and
so,
if
you
need
something
just
find
somebody
with
an
orange
one
and
they
can
help
you
get
to
where
you
need
to
go
or
answer
a
question.
The
last
thing,
I
will
say
is
this
floor.
Has
the
best
restrooms.
So
if
you
need
use
a
restroom,
there's
lots
of
them
out
there,
we
have
a
really
interesting
space
called
our
introvert
space.
A
A
In
fact,
we've
done
this
is
our
third
gitlab
commit
in
the
last
six
months
and
in
many
ways
San
Francisco
is
a
little
like
home
for
us,
so
we're
excited
to
start
the
year
here
we
actually,
while
the
company
didn't
start
in
San
Francisco
in
its
formative
years,
it
was
part
of
Y
Combinator
in
2015,
and
so
San
Francisco
is
sort
of
the
home.
In
some
ways
the
first
one
was
actually
not
San,
Francisco
I
think
that's
in
Mountain
View
that
little
house
was
kind
of
the
first
get
lab
office.
A
If
you
will,
that
was
the
get
lab.
Mobile
I
guess
is
the
best
way
to
put
it,
and
then
this
other
photo
is
the
first
office
which
was
at
12:33
Howard
Street
here
in
San
Francisco.
It
was
also
the
last
to
office
because
what
happened
is
Sid
realized
once
he
opened
an
office
that
people
stopped
coming
to
the
office
and
worked
kept,
work
kept
getting
done,
and
so
you
know
long
story
short.
We
are
an
all
remote
company
of
1100
plus
people
now
in
60
plus
countries.
A
So
it's
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
the
future,
and
you
know
you
might
ask
what
this
story
has
to
do
with
gitlab
commit.
It
actually
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
word
commit
and
why
we
call
it
get
loud,
commit
and
so
I'm
going
to
go
into
that
for
a
second.
How
many
of
you
in
the
morning
you
get
up
and
you
tell
or
you
ask,
or
you
tell
your
spouse
or
your
dog
or
Alexa.
You
say
I'm
going
to
work.
A
How
many
of
you
do
that
in
the
mornings
and
then
you
get
into
some
sort
of
vehicle
drone
uber
self-driving
thing
scooter
all
birds
whatever
it
is,
and
you
locomote
you
trip
you
travel
and
you
go
to
this
place
called
work,
which
is
usually
an
office
which
is
an
environment
where
you
work
at
gitlab
as
I
mentioned.
We
don't
do
that,
but
we
still
say
to
our
spouses
we're
going
to
work,
but
it
means
something
a
little
different.
It's
more
like
we're
going
to
do
something.
A
Those
eyes
they're
just
amazing-
that's
not
really
our
mission,
but
I
wanted
to
make
use
this
opportunity
to
see
how
big
I
could
get
baby
Yoda's
eyes.
Our
mission
is,
everyone
can
contribute
and
against
its
gonna
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more
later.
But
the
cool
thing
is,
everyone
means
everyone
and
when
you
don't
have
the
constraint
of
an
office-
and
you
don't
have
a
constraint
of
a
commute,
we
can
invite
more
people
into
that
opportunity.
A
One
of
the
reasons
we
call
it
commit
it's
not
a
double
meaning
thing:
I
tried
to
get
our
sales
person
back
our
sales
leader
to
call
our
sales
kickoff
commit.
He
didn't
want
to
do
that,
but
it's
not
really
a
double
meaning
here.
It's
actually
just
like
commit
and
get
it's
a
small
change.
So
my
question
to
you
is
as
you're
a
participant
today.
What
change
can
you
commit?
A
Maybe
that's
asking
a
question
in
a
session.
Maybe
that's
offering
an
idea
or
a
new
insight.
Who
can
you
meet
today
that
you
can
work
on
developing
a
relationship
with
it's
gonna
help
you
or
your
company
over
the
next
year
from
a
DevOps
perspective
or
just
from
a
personal
perspective?
What
change?
What
small
change?
Can
you
commit
today
as
being
part
of
this,
this
this
audience
and
this
participation?
So
that's
my
challenge
to
you
is
to
think
about
that.
A
That's
what
this
day
is
about
so
a
little
housekeeping
and
then
we'll
really
get
started
with
the
show.
A
thank
you
to
our
sponsors.
So
without
our
sponsors
this
event
wouldn't
be
possible.
Our
cloud
sponsors
stack
overflow,
the
CN
CF,
who
we
are
big
partners
with
tide
lifts,
there's
there's
so
many
partners
that
we
do
great
work
with,
but
these
are
the
ones
who
really
stepped
up
to
make
this
event
possible.
A
A
So
there's
multiple
topics
for
that
and
then
afternoon
tracks,
and
then
we
will
wrap
up
right
here
this
afternoon
and
for
about
thirty
minutes
and
then
we'll
have
a
happy
hour.
So
that's
kind
of
the
overview
of
the
schedule
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say
now:
let's
get
on
with
it,
I
want
to
introduce
our
CEO
Sid
Sobrante,
so
Sid
come
on
up.
B
B
The
most
important
thing
about
becoming
a
software
company
is
to
compress
your
cycle
time
cycle.
Time
is
the
time
between
deciding
to
do
something
and
having
it
out
there
getting
the
feedback
from
users
about
what
you
made
the
faster.
You
can
do
that,
the
more
you
are
a
software
company
and
to
get
from
a
plan
to
something
in
the
hands
of
users.
You
need
to
go
to
all
your
different
develops
tools
and
that
causes
a
lot
of
different
handoffs
and
what
get
lab
is
get
lab.
Is
a
complete
devops
platform
delivered
as
a
single
application.
B
We're
helping
teams
to
deliver
products
faster,
we're
replacing
DIY,
ops,
best-of-breed
solutions
that
are
pieced
together
as
a
platform,
we're
replacing
it
with
a
single
application,
and
that
makes
it
easier
for
teams
to
work
together.
If
everything
is
in
a
single
application,
you
don't
have
to
wait
on
someone
to
tell
you
what
the
status
is.
You
have
access
to
the
same
system,
the
same
visibility
and
a
with
better
visibility.
B
You
get
to
streamline
processes,
you
get
to
remove
bottlenecks,
it's
so
important
in
a
DevOps
software
process
that
the
developers,
the
operations,
people
and
the
security
people
are
all
on
the
same
page,
and
if
you
can
do
that,
you
can
move
faster.
That's
exactly
the
experience
that
glimps
shared
with
us
with
gitlab.
They
were
able
to
simplify
their
tool
chain,
increase
their
velocity
and
reduce
their
cycle
time.
B
We've
built
gitlab
to
make
it
easier
for
the
security
people
to
participate
in
the
DevOps
process,
we're
giving
them
a
home
in
the
software
development
lifecycle,
and
we
help
to
improve
the
collaboration.
The
most
important
shift.
That's
happening
is
shifting
security
left,
and
that
means
finding
security
problems
very
early.
If
you
find
them
early,
they're,
less
expensive
and
less
time
consuming
to
solve
earlier,
you
solve
things
the
easier
it
is:
don't
wait
for
all
the
work
to
get
done
and
then
review
security.
B
Do
it
throughout
the
process
and
that's
what
how
get
lab
is
helping
people
FBI
worldwide?
They
were
able
to
incorporate
security
in
their
process
and
to
ship
more
and
more
quickly.
I
love
hearing
the
stories
from
you,
the
success
stories,
the
things
that
need
improvement
and
I'm
glad
you're
here
today,
I'm
really
excited
for
the
presentations
that
will
come.
I
want
to
acknowledge
some
of
the
customers
that
are
on
this
slide
that
work
with
us
today
that
are
doing
keynotes
I
want
to
thank
them
for
coming.
Please
join
me
in
thanking
them
and.
B
The
great
thing
about
this
is
that
they're,
not
just
customers,
we
are
a
transparent
company
and
we
invite
you
to
participate.
Your
contributions
are
making
a
huge
difference
in
the
trajectory
of
get
lap.
If
we
just
look
at
code
contributions
over
fifty
five
hundred
improvements
in
get
laugh
came
from
our
users
over
two
thousand
people
contributed
code
to
get
lab
and
that's
showing
up.
Every
single
month
we
have
over
thirty
five
new
people
who
contribute
code
and
over
two
hundred
improvements
in
Gitlin
that
come
from
the
wider
community,
and
that's
just
looking
at
the
code.
B
Contributions
are
much
more
than
code,
as
Todd
said,
you
can
contribute
in
many
ways,
I
hope.
Today,
you
contribute
by
asking
questions
by
telling
us
what
we
can
do
better
and
by
getting
to
know
people
you
didn't
know
before
we
want
everyone
to
contribute
and
we're
really
thankful
for
your
contribution.
So
thanks
everyone
who
has
contributed
to
get
lab.
B
B
It's
always
exciting
to
get
something
and
to
share
it
with
you,
and
if
you
look
at
a
longer
time
scale.
Those
numbers
are
growing.
We're
improving,
get
lab
every
day
and
our
rate
of
improvement
is
growing
exponentially
for
next
year.
We're
ordering
an
even
bigger
monitor
to
show
what
we
shipping
in
2020.
B
We're
proud
that
over
the
last
five
years
we
spent
over
a
million
dollars
in
hacker
1
bounties
to
build
the
most
secure
platform
over
half
of
those
bounties
were
awarded
after
we
made
our
program
public
and
it
means
anyone
in
the
world
who
is
interested
can
look
at
get
lab,
can
find
flaws
and
reap
the
rewards
for
it,
and
we're
really
thankful
for
all
the
people.
Who've
used
our
security
disclosure
program
to
help
make
it
a
lot.
Better.
B
Later,
today,
you'll
hear
from
our
product
leadership
about
the
vision.
Forget
lab
I
won't
steal
their
thunder,
but
our
vision
is
very
ambitious
and
we're
really
excited
to
try
to
deliver
on
that.
But
we
need
you
to
help
participate
in
that,
because
it's
not
just
about
shipping
new
functionality.
The
most
important
thing
is
take
away
any
roadblocks
that
are
any
existing
functionality.
B
All
that
collaboration
is
based
on
our
mission
of
everyone
contributing
want
people
to
contribute
to
software.
Software
is
eating
the
world,
so
contributing
to
software
is
one
of
the
most
powerful
levers
we
can
offer
the
world
and
we
get
live,
we're
offering
that.
We
also
want
people
to
contribute
to
get
lab
the
product
itself
and
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
we
want
people
to
contribute
to
get
lab
the
company.
We
have
our
handle
public
of
over
three
thousand
pages
with
how
we
operate,
and
it's
really
exciting
to
see
contributions
coming
in.
B
Even
to
that,
so
contributions
aren't
just
code.
It's
stories,
it's
responding.
It's
fixing
a
typo
somewhere
I
know
that
every
time
I
make
an
improvement
to
the
handbook.
Afterwards
are
a
few
people
that
come
on
and
fix
my
typos
so
I'm
inside
the
company
and
some
outside
the
company
and
that's
great
because
I'm
I'm,
not
that
good.
At
that
we
had
an
engineer
at
get
lab
who
said
hey,
I've
been
I've
been
working,
but
I
keep
getting
these
instructions
and
I
cannot
find
this
person
on
our
team
page,
and
we
said,
are
you
sure?
B
That's
someone
in
our
team
and
it
turned
out.
It
was
just
a
customer
who
was
really
opinionated
about
the
work
they
were
doing,
but
because
almost
all
of
our
work
happens
in
the
public,
they
were
able
to
follow
along
and
told
them.
They
totally
misunderstood
what
they
needed
and
I
think
that
is
the
key.
If
you're
gonna
do,
if
you're
going
to
build
a
complete
DevOps
platform,
the
only
way
to
do
that
is
to
work
together
as
an
industry.
B
B
Last
year,
2019
we
more
than
doubled
our
headcount.
We
grew
from
400
to
1100
people
this
year.
2020
will
again
more
than
double
our
headcount
and
that's
not
a
goal
in
and
of
itself,
but
that
the
goal
is
to
make
a
better
product.
It
allows
us
to
ship
more
features,
but
in
the
end,
it's
not
about
shipping
features.
It's
about
you
as
our
users,
shipping
faster
cycle
times.
B
It's
about
you
doing
more
stable,
deploys
it's
about
you
having
a
better
security
posture,
so
we're
really
excited
for
everything
you're
doing
with
get
lab
and
we're
not
done
yet
we're
adding
phenomenal
people
like
Robin
Shulman,
our
chief
legal
officer,
who's
in
the
audience
today
and
so
we'll
be
walking
around
the
whole
day.
So
if
you
see
here,
please
walk
off
to
here,
but
we
also
added
km
blazing
as
a
new
board.
B
Member
and
I'm
really
grateful
we're
able
to
attract
great
people
and
that's
not
just
because
we
have
a
great
product,
but
also
because
we're
challenging
some
norms.
Todd
mentioned
us
being
an
old
remote
company
with
1100
people
were
probably
the
biggest
all
remote
company
in
the
world
and
we're
setting
a
standard
that
you
don't
need
to
be
in
the
same
room
or
on
the
same
floor
on
the
same
building
to
collaborate
with
modern
tools.
You
can
collaborate
very
very
effectively
and
you
can
give
people
time
back.
B
You
can
give
them
their
commute
time
back
to
spend
that
in
their
personal
life,
but
also
you
can
attract
people
wherever
they
are.
I'm
really
excited
that
for
the
majority
of
people
they
don't
live
in
a
large
metro
area.
We
have
someone
who
joined,
get
lab,
who
lives
in
New
Zealand
of
any
grit,
but
the
Internet
her
own
power,
her
own
water,
her
own
sewage,
but
she's
able
to
work
at
a
very
fast-growing
Silicon,
Valley,
style,
startup
and
that's
really
exciting.
B
It
helps
us
attract
amazing,
new
team
members
in
over
60
countries
and
that's
helping
us
grow
us
as
an
organization
we
now
have
over
800,000
licensed
users,
people
who
are
paying
forget
lab,
and
every
year
they're
doubling
down
our
net
retention
is
a
hundred.
Fifty
percent
people
are
doubling
down
as
soon
as
they
discover
what
gitlab
can
do
and
because
of
open
source.
We
have
an
outsized
influence
on
the
world
over
a
hundred
thousand
organizations
are
using
gitlab
I'm
really
proud
today
to
have
an
announcement.
Six
months
ago,
I
announced
our
seriousiy
funding
at
commit.
B
B
B
How
we're
going
to
do
that.
We
have
our
plans
but
we'd
love
to
hear
from
you
your
successes,
your
challenges
and
what
we
can
do
better
later
today,
I'll
be
hosting
office
hours.
All
the
spots
were
already
taking
during
registration
thanks
for

thanks
for
me,
antes
astok
I'll
be
at
the
happy
hour
or
maybe
we'll
meet
at
the

commit.
There's
a
lot
of
get

Thank
you
for
thanks
for
the
great
keynote,
so
this
is
the
four
five
one
fire
starter
four
five
one
research
is
one
of
is
a
leading
analyst
firm
that
focuses
on
innovation
and
disruption.
We
created
a
reward
to
really
focus
on
companies
that
have
vision
and
innovation,
but,
more
importantly,
that
have
the
potential
to
disrupt
markets.
More
fundamentally,
and
so
you
know,
the
analysts
selected
gitlab
as
one
of
as
one
of
the
fire
starters
that
we
wanted
to
award,
and
there
were
really
three
major
reasons
for
for
gitlab
being
nominated
and
being
awarded.
C
The
other
is
that
you
become
a
growing
destination
as
a
to
prevent
tool
sprawl
and
to
inject
security,
as
you
said,
shifting
less
so
a
much
more,
a
much
more
holistic
approach
to
security
and
then
and
finally,
we
believe
that
you
serve
as
a
as
a
great
model
for
a
modern
open-source
software
company
that
both
contributes
to
the
community
as
well
as
finds
a
way
to
monetize
open-source
over
all.
So
congratulations.
Thank
you.
