[00:38.790 --> 00:40.230]  Here they are.
[00:40.410 --> 00:43.810]  AMD attendee meta data team.
[00:50.250 --> 00:52.430]  Can we get our slide up on the screen?
[00:54.730 --> 00:57.930]  This is the funky little badges.
[00:59.810 --> 01:04.970]  I had a weird idea about a year ago and it exploded.
[01:05.530 --> 01:12.050]  And so these guys are going to talk about what we've done and what's actually happened.
[01:12.050 --> 01:16.770]  We had an intro session on Friday where we talked about the whole thing.
[01:16.930 --> 01:27.190]  And this is basically a summary of how we went from it not working on Friday to it having lots of colorful, exploding things on screens all over the place now.
[01:29.490 --> 01:38.610]  Chris, why don't you start and go through what we went through from Friday to now with what wasn't working and what's working now.
[01:42.550 --> 01:43.850]  Sorry, I don't have a chair here.
[01:44.570 --> 01:45.210]  We uh...
[01:46.670 --> 01:48.810]  That's okay, I just gotta pull the mic really close.
[01:49.910 --> 01:52.150]  We started out on Thursday and we came...
[01:52.150 --> 01:53.070]  Sorry, I don't have a chair here.
[01:53.810 --> 01:54.610]  We uh...
[01:55.890 --> 01:56.410]  That's okay.
[01:56.590 --> 01:58.050]  I just got to pull the mic really close.
[01:59.050 --> 02:10.470]  We started out on Thursday and we came in with some of the software built, a fair amount of stuff working, but once we actually got the real world system up and working, of course some things changed, some things worked, some didn't.
[02:11.130 --> 02:21.710]  So we started, I rewrote some of the core logic which did the triangulation and also improved the capacity of the system to handle the load a lot more.
[02:22.430 --> 02:29.250]  One thing we found is that a simulator that's pushing out a huge batch of radio events every second.
[02:29.450 --> 02:35.130]  It doesn't work the same as if you actually have a thousand tags that are all asynchronously sending things at random times.
[02:36.010 --> 02:39.150]  So once we got the live system up, it turned out we had to do things a little different.
[02:39.350 --> 02:40.470]  So we worked on that.
[02:40.690 --> 02:43.030]  We also added a lot of functionality to the web system.
[02:43.370 --> 02:44.710]  Aesthetics can tell you about that.
[02:46.850 --> 02:51.970]  And that was mostly what we were working on for Thursday night and all Thursday night, all Friday morning.
[02:52.330 --> 02:55.330]  And we did manage to get most of the basic functionality up by Friday morning.
[02:56.450 --> 02:59.190]  Then the 3D visualization we got up.
[02:59.930 --> 03:01.170]  Was it Saturday morning?
[03:01.490 --> 03:02.090]  We got that up, I think?
[03:02.810 --> 03:03.630]  Saturday night.
[03:04.250 --> 03:05.390]  Saturday night, okay.
[03:06.370 --> 03:07.010]  What's today?
[03:09.570 --> 03:10.810]  Oh, it's Tuesday already?
[03:12.950 --> 03:17.010]  Um, so we were pretty happy with how things turned out.
[03:17.230 --> 03:18.830]  I think we had a lot of success.
[03:19.110 --> 03:28.450]  We started with a great hardware platform that was designed by Milos down there and had been used at some of the Chaos Congress services and Camps.
[03:29.170 --> 03:33.550]  But I think we really took the software to interact with the attendees to a new level.
[03:33.690 --> 03:38.890]  We added some social networking features and a lot more interesting visualization, I think.
[03:39.070 --> 03:40.950]  So I was pretty happy with how the project turned out.
[03:43.390 --> 03:49.550]  Milos, why don't you talk about how you think it's going and what you kind of put into it to get it done.
[03:53.590 --> 03:57.250]  What did you put into it to get it done this week?
[03:57.530 --> 03:58.150]  Ah, okay.
[03:58.930 --> 04:03.910]  So we improved this triangulation system.
[04:03.930 --> 04:10.430]  So we had some ideas we implemented there and it turned out basically in a very good way.
[04:10.650 --> 04:13.430]  So it matched the previous tests.
[04:13.790 --> 04:20.150]  And what we were basically doing is adding this nice visualization stuff.
[04:20.470 --> 04:27.490]  We basically, there were several people that helped us a lot implementing this real-time visualization.
[04:28.330 --> 04:30.010]  Recently, avatars were added.
[04:30.290 --> 04:35.130]  So we had in the end a lot of fun and we had less problems than we actually expected.
[04:35.610 --> 04:38.430]  We had a lot of interesting input from people.
[04:38.430 --> 04:44.390]  people, people who were showing up and when interested in writing their own firmware.
[04:44.730 --> 04:50.730]  So we could assist them in writing their own firmware, having different blink patterns and stuff like that.
[04:50.890 --> 04:55.590]  So there were a lot of interests shown.
[04:55.910 --> 05:01.090]  And we had people, for example, that wrote .NET applications for visualization.
[05:01.450 --> 05:07.450]  They wrote small scripts to being able to see where their friends are currently.
[05:07.450 --> 05:09.390]  So people are actually using our APIs.
[05:09.690 --> 05:17.570]  And we are very glad about this, that we created this nice set of applications and people are actually using it.
[05:17.690 --> 05:21.230]  So thanks to you guys, you used our stuff.
[05:21.290 --> 05:23.890]  And we got a lot of good response from you.
[05:24.050 --> 05:27.530]  So we are basically very happy about the stuff we did.
[05:27.770 --> 05:31.450]  And thanks for your great support and for cheering us up.
[05:31.910 --> 05:34.410]  Because we had lots of trouble in the beginning.
[05:34.550 --> 05:35.970]  We didn't get any sleep at all.
[05:35.970 --> 05:38.630]  And thanks to your positive input.
[05:45.730 --> 05:47.270]  Here, this is a playlist.
[05:47.630 --> 05:48.370]  What do you want to do?
[05:49.670 --> 05:51.790]  Why don't we...we want to start with visualization?
[05:52.070 --> 05:52.310]  Sure.
[05:52.410 --> 05:52.990]  We can kind of show that.
[05:55.570 --> 05:59.150]  So this is actually something we added pretty late today.
[06:00.370 --> 06:10.090]  This is based on a user contributed visualization system that you can actually go and click on an ID and it will show you information about that.
[06:10.570 --> 06:13.590]  So we went and enhanced that a little.
[06:13.750 --> 06:14.490]  Oh, it's a short movie.
[06:15.450 --> 06:16.490]  Oh, also it crashed.
[06:18.290 --> 06:20.510]  Yeah, your VLC loves your movies.
[06:31.970 --> 06:32.670]  Try it again.
[06:35.190 --> 06:37.010]  So we added a few custom avatars.
[06:37.210 --> 06:40.950]  One of them you'll see is a little milk bone dog biscuit there.
[06:41.110 --> 06:45.010]  And that's actually a dog which is over there, I believe, which is currently...
[06:45.010 --> 06:47.170]  I'm currently wearing a Sputnik ID badge over there.
[06:48.990 --> 06:49.470]  So...
[06:50.030 --> 06:51.590]  This is previously recorded.
[06:53.810 --> 06:54.290]  Yeah.
[06:54.290 --> 06:55.970]  There's probably not that many people down there now.
[06:56.450 --> 06:56.930]  Yeah.
[06:56.950 --> 06:56.950]  Yeah.
[06:57.510 --> 06:58.470]  Everybody's in this room.
[06:58.730 --> 06:59.210]  It's...wow.
[07:06.890 --> 07:10.110]  I don't think we have the visualization software installed on this system, so...
[07:10.110 --> 07:10.210]  Oh, alright.
[07:10.610 --> 07:11.410]  I don't think we can do this.
[07:15.850 --> 07:16.690]  What's our next tip?
[07:17.730 --> 07:20.090]  You want to show the visualization or the like it?
[07:20.510 --> 07:21.770]  It's also in the room detail.
[07:22.130 --> 07:24.250]  If you like go on the 18th floor and click on the room detail.
[07:24.250 --> 07:26.130]  It wasn't there at the first next to the profile.
[07:26.350 --> 07:26.730]  Oh, does it?
[07:26.850 --> 07:26.970]  Yeah.
[07:27.130 --> 07:28.030]  Click on that and check it out.
[07:28.910 --> 07:29.350]  Which one?
[07:29.850 --> 07:31.210]  Um, uh, Leica, I guess.
[07:34.870 --> 07:38.410]  So this is a 3D visualization, uh, the one we got working last night.
[07:38.590 --> 07:42.570]  Uh, it's based on one that was built for, uh, one of the German Congresses.
[07:43.830 --> 07:45.690]  And this is also showing the second floor.
[07:49.370 --> 07:51.010]  No, this is also previously recorded.
[07:51.010 --> 07:51.850]  These are all video clips.
[07:55.470 --> 08:02.550]  Uh, the reason we're showing a lot of stuff on the second floor is in order to get good triangulation of locations, you have to have a fair number of readers installed.
[08:02.990 --> 08:07.750]  Uh, on this floor, it was a little more difficult running the cables, so we didn't get as many readers installed as we wanted to.
[08:08.250 --> 08:11.010]  On the second floor, there's, there's truss overhead and pipes.
[08:11.130 --> 08:12.850]  We were able to just throw Ethernet cables.
[08:13.450 --> 08:16.130]  Um, on this floor, it was a lot more difficult.
[08:22.890 --> 08:25.810]  And, uh, I know you want to show the social one?
[08:26.490 --> 08:26.530]  Sure.
[08:27.230 --> 08:28.510]  And you want to talk about the stuff aesthetics?
[08:28.830 --> 08:29.890]  A little bit about what you do?
[08:30.450 --> 08:30.510]  Sure.
[08:30.510 --> 08:31.750]  I haven't seen any of these videos yet.
[08:34.350 --> 08:36.790]  Okay, so, um, I hope the talk reminders worked.
[08:36.970 --> 08:43.290]  Like, um, we were having some issues with the male daemon at some point, and we got that working, so the pings were working.
[08:43.290 --> 08:48.830]  And what's going on there is, um, let's see, there's, there's a ton of stuff here.
[08:49.670 --> 09:00.470]  You can select the provider, and you can choose email or SMS, and in theory, X number of minutes before the talk, it'll send you a reminder letting you know that the talk you wanted to see is, uh, upcoming.
[09:01.350 --> 09:07.010]  We also have, um, you can input where you're from, like your hometown by zip code.
[09:07.210 --> 09:11.870]  And the reason we're asking for zip code in country is because we plan on visualizing that on, like, Google Maps or something.
[09:11.870 --> 09:14.390]  And then you can cross-reference that with other interests.
[09:14.650 --> 09:17.710]  Like, for some reason, eight people in Alabama like cryptography.
[09:17.970 --> 09:21.370]  And you can find out who they are, and you can use that to, uh, do a bunch of cool stuff.
[09:22.110 --> 09:25.950]  Uh, so you can subscribe to talks, unsubscribe.
[09:27.010 --> 09:28.390]  Uh, I don't know what else.
[09:28.970 --> 09:30.110]  There's a ton of stuff in here.
[09:30.650 --> 09:32.890]  Uh, you guys have been doing some data mining.
[09:33.790 --> 09:35.230]  What, what have you gotten out of that?
[09:35.550 --> 09:39.070]  I know CPFR and Aesthetics have both been doing a lot of crunching on that.
[09:39.070 --> 09:51.910]  Uh, so for the most part, uh, we mostly work on visualizing just base aggregate statistics, which you can see if you load, uh, stats.php.
[09:52.370 --> 10:03.550]  Uh, these are just aggregate statistics of what talks people like the most, uh, where people spent the most time in terms of activities they did.
[10:03.550 --> 10:15.970]  Um, in the future, uh, and you're more than welcome to do this because we are gonna be giving the location dataset, uh, conditioning on various statistics.
[10:16.310 --> 10:20.310]  So, you, you may query more specific kind of data.
[10:20.670 --> 10:26.730]  Like, what are the interests of people that come from Alabama that went to this con today?
[10:28.610 --> 10:28.970]  Okay.
[10:29.030 --> 10:30.950]  And we can also do this by time, too.
[10:31.270 --> 10:35.990]  So, uh, we can see, I think there's, um, the left column for a lot of these is for hour.
[10:36.430 --> 10:39.690]  And the right column, the aggregate, is just the total for the entire con.
[10:39.830 --> 10:45.690]  So we can actually do an hour-by-hour comparison and watch the interests, like, as people come and people register.
[10:46.110 --> 10:50.550]  Um, we can actually do dynamic graphs and watch the data change as the con goes on.
[10:50.750 --> 10:51.550]  Like, it's really cool.
[10:55.070 --> 10:56.370]  Can you pull up the webpage?
[10:56.950 --> 10:57.170]  Yeah.
[10:57.450 --> 10:58.010]  Pull up the website.
[11:07.100 --> 11:12.540]  So, a lot of the more interesting data mind stuff is just when people interacted with each other.
[11:12.840 --> 11:13.840]  Like, the pings.
[11:15.000 --> 11:16.200]  Yeah, uh, talk about the pings.
[11:17.080 --> 11:21.420]  Uh, the pings, if people aren't aware of what they are, I was trying to construct something.
[11:21.420 --> 11:25.220]  And a lot of social networking websites, like, um, OkCupid is an easy one.
[11:25.380 --> 11:26.760]  Where you can send a woo to somebody.
[11:26.840 --> 11:27.720]  Like, oh, she's hot.
[11:27.800 --> 11:29.380]  Let me send her a woo and see if she's interested.
[11:29.960 --> 11:33.800]  I was trying to imitate something like that to let con goers talk to each other.
[11:34.020 --> 11:39.100]  If you click on the email icon, it will send your email address and an email to whoever it is.
[11:39.400 --> 11:43.300]  And likewise, you can send them a text message with your cell phone number.
[11:43.480 --> 11:45.240]  And it's just a way to help people connect together.
[11:45.500 --> 11:47.280]  What are the statistics we're looking at right here?
[11:47.280 --> 11:56.520]  Uh, these are the most, those are the most popular zones as of the last hour and in general.
[11:56.980 --> 12:02.000]  As you can see, people like, people like being in this very room a lot.
[12:02.380 --> 12:02.760]  Yeah.
[12:03.460 --> 12:08.700]  So we can actually rate the talks by, it's not even just filling out, I thought this talk was cool.
[12:08.940 --> 12:12.740]  We can gauge how many people are actually attending each talk live.
[12:12.740 --> 12:17.280]  And we can actually cross-reference that with if you subscribe to a talk and you didn't show up.
[12:17.620 --> 12:22.060]  And we can see who actually showed up to talks as opposed to who subscribed to talks.
[12:22.700 --> 12:23.120]  Right.
[12:24.360 --> 12:24.780]  Right.
[12:24.960 --> 12:25.040]  Yeah.
[12:25.460 --> 12:29.600]  The statistics for talks should actually list how many people actually attended them.
[12:29.740 --> 12:32.960]  If you scroll, these are the actual attendees that have gone to each of these talks.
[12:33.700 --> 12:38.160]  So really, this has been a beta test of a beta test.
[12:38.260 --> 12:41.580]  And we're repeating what was done at the CCC a couple times.
[12:41.880 --> 12:45.860]  And we've gotten a lot of things functional that they couldn't get functional.
[12:45.900 --> 12:47.860]  And they got things functional they couldn't get before.
[12:48.420 --> 12:52.260]  And this is a stepping stone in making the system better and better.
[12:52.660 --> 12:56.980]  And if we do this at another conference, we'll have more features and more features.
[12:56.980 --> 12:59.780]  And it'll just get cooler and cooler what we can do with it.
[12:59.940 --> 13:00.200]  Yeah.
[13:00.280 --> 13:01.040]  We can also...
[13:01.040 --> 13:05.320]  We can even click on a talk and pull up a list of all the people who are in it.
[13:05.400 --> 13:08.140]  So it's not just a number like feature speaker 242.
[13:08.280 --> 13:11.360]  We can actually pull up a live list of every person who is in that room.
[13:12.120 --> 13:13.640]  And then we can actually do interest.
[13:13.840 --> 13:16.080]  Like all these people from Alabama like Jellos talk.
[13:16.580 --> 13:18.800]  So we can do a lot of cross-referencing based on that.
[13:19.660 --> 13:20.060]  Okay.
[13:20.220 --> 13:21.300]  Do we have any questions?
[13:24.400 --> 13:26.200]  The website is plugged in downstairs.
[13:26.200 --> 13:29.300]  So when we take the box home, it will go down.
[13:29.480 --> 13:30.880]  But we're going to try to keep it up.
[13:31.520 --> 13:34.520]  At some point, we'll try to put that information back up.
[13:35.120 --> 13:36.840]  I guess I'll publish it online.
[13:38.020 --> 13:39.040]  We're not sure yet.
[13:39.040 --> 13:41.180]  But you can check hope.net in the future.
[13:43.000 --> 13:44.700]  There are a few things that are going to go up.
[13:44.840 --> 13:47.440]  We've already started posting some of the log data.
[13:48.000 --> 13:49.160]  That's just tag IDs.
[13:49.320 --> 13:52.880]  So there's no private information, no PII involved in that.
[13:53.760 --> 13:55.020]  So we'll be posting that.
[13:55.020 --> 14:01.440]  We'll also be posting source code and possibly movies of the entire conference sped up.
[14:02.300 --> 14:05.640]  As time goes on and we have time to add things, we'll be putting that up.
[14:05.760 --> 14:07.760]  And that will be on the amd.hope.net site.
[14:08.240 --> 14:08.720]  Okay.
[14:09.460 --> 14:10.440]  Any other questions?
[14:10.760 --> 14:11.120]  All right.
[14:11.200 --> 14:12.240]  Reset my password.
[14:12.700 --> 14:16.040]  You reset your password to the information desk, provided they're still open.
[14:20.180 --> 14:22.980]  I think Mitch can answer that question.
[14:24.280 --> 14:25.240]  Let's see.
[14:25.500 --> 14:26.240]  Excuse me.
[14:26.340 --> 14:28.000]  My voice is totally gone.
[14:28.240 --> 14:35.820]  But it cost $12,000 to make 3,500 of these boards.
[14:35.820 --> 14:41.700]  It's 1,400 of those 3,500 have the parts for tracking on them.
[14:41.920 --> 14:43.100]  That's what we could afford.
[14:43.240 --> 14:48.760]  We wanted 3,500 and we got the maximum we could afford for $12,000 that were with the parts.
[14:48.760 --> 14:54.420]  So, I thought they did a pretty good job when they manufactured them, huh?
[14:54.420 --> 14:59.430]  I thought they worked out pretty well.
[15:00.090 --> 15:00.110]  Sure.
[15:01.210 --> 15:01.390]  Yeah.
[15:03.010 --> 15:03.650]  Okay.
[15:04.370 --> 15:05.010]  Yes.
[15:14.600 --> 15:16.920]  If you have a question, step up to the microphone.
[15:18.480 --> 15:21.940]  There are microphones if people want to ask questions.
[15:26.560 --> 15:28.540]  Just to clarify a little bit.
[15:28.540 --> 15:31.840]  Just to clarify a little bit about the data you're going to retain for a period of time.
[15:32.120 --> 15:36.400]  Are you going to try to put it all up on your website within the near future?
[15:36.400 --> 15:40.580]  Passwords and telephone numbers and I think usernames will not be released.
[15:40.720 --> 15:40.740]  Right.
[15:40.780 --> 15:41.440]  Or email addresses.
[15:41.780 --> 15:42.660]  Or email addresses.
[15:42.680 --> 15:45.760]  All non-personal information that came out of this experiment.
[15:45.760 --> 15:48.640]  All non-personal information will be released at some point.
[15:48.960 --> 15:49.220]  You're sure?
[15:49.460 --> 15:50.040]  I answered.
[15:55.460 --> 15:58.000]  Did we get the stats up here that we needed?
[15:58.000 --> 15:58.920]  They're on their way.
[15:59.180 --> 16:00.360]  They're still on their way?
[16:00.520 --> 16:00.760]  Yes.
[16:01.000 --> 16:01.200]  Okay.
[16:03.980 --> 16:09.220]  We're going to give out some prizes for certain activities that we were tracking.
[16:10.420 --> 16:17.940]  There were games going on and we're waiting on those numbers to come up because they were left on a laptop downstairs.
[16:19.480 --> 16:29.260]  We will actually not only release the binary log files, we will mainly release binary log files so we can write your own visualization software.
[16:29.540 --> 16:44.200]  So if you started your own project for visualizing the data, there will be a source code available where you can generate demo data based on the existing conference.
[16:44.380 --> 16:49.100]  So we basically will replay the whole conference and you can test your applications with it.
[16:49.140 --> 16:50.620]  This is the first thing we will release.
[16:51.140 --> 16:55.540]  It basically contains the whole raw data.
[16:55.540 --> 17:04.840]  So you have your tag ID, you have sequence numbers, you have the signals ranks which the data was received.
[17:05.420 --> 17:17.340]  If the flags for your button, so for example if you decided to use your button as a bookmarker, you can later assign this data to a movie you render from the conference or whatever.
[17:17.340 --> 17:20.280]  So basically you get all the data you need.
[17:20.460 --> 17:29.420]  We additionally release pre-processed text data which you don't have to worry about this binary file format.
[17:29.940 --> 17:37.600]  And this data will also contain rough estimation of your position so you don't have to deal with this if you don't want to.
[17:37.780 --> 17:52.960]  And you can use this data easily to use script languages to post-process the data and for example to find out relationships between groups, for example to find out if certain tags appear relatively often at the same place.
[17:53.180 --> 17:56.840]  So this can be used to reverse engineer social contacts.
[17:57.280 --> 18:01.480]  So we are very curious what you will come up with.
[18:01.640 --> 18:04.240]  We gathered an insane amount of data.
[18:06.100 --> 18:10.700]  Already the binary log files are something like six gigabytes of data.
[18:11.900 --> 18:13.980]  So I just wanted to make a comment.
[18:14.900 --> 18:18.640]  We want you to have as much fun going through this data as we have.
[18:19.320 --> 18:20.880]  Considering it's yours.
[18:26.500 --> 18:28.620]  And what we will...
[18:28.620 --> 18:39.200]  We will release this data under a Creative Commons license with explicit statement that we don't want to have it used for commercial purposes.
[18:39.200 --> 18:42.520]  So I think this is the least amount we can do to protect your data.
[18:42.780 --> 18:51.620]  So professional data mining is made hopefully possible at least in license terms.
[18:51.640 --> 18:53.700]  So people can't resell your data.
[18:54.040 --> 18:56.820]  So I think this is a fair deal in my opinion.
[18:58.440 --> 19:01.360]  And if you have any questions, feel free to ask us.
[19:01.420 --> 19:02.360]  We will gladly help you.
[19:02.420 --> 19:04.480]  We are very curious what we will come up with.
[19:04.480 --> 19:05.640]  So have fun.
[19:05.780 --> 19:06.760]  I have a question right now.
[19:06.920 --> 19:11.460]  And the question is, I entered my ID, my pin number.
[19:12.180 --> 19:14.140]  I never got the second page.
[19:14.280 --> 19:15.540]  The system accepted it.
[19:15.640 --> 19:19.580]  But I could never access the system again because I never got the second page.
[19:20.080 --> 19:21.420]  How was that possible?
[19:21.960 --> 19:24.880]  On aesthetics, you've been debugging the website.
[19:25.040 --> 19:26.360]  Yeah, I've been debugging the website.
[19:26.540 --> 19:27.960]  We've run into a couple of things like that.
[19:28.080 --> 19:29.420]  I mean, it's a development system.
[19:29.460 --> 19:30.640]  We've never deployed it before.
[19:30.660 --> 19:33.020]  So we've run into some periodic issues like that.
[19:33.020 --> 19:35.720]  What was the initial flaw that we had with logins?
[19:36.340 --> 19:38.340]  With the website tracking?
[19:39.240 --> 19:39.880]  Oh, yeah.
[19:40.880 --> 19:42.340]  So this is a feature that...
[19:42.340 --> 19:42.980]  This is fun.
[19:43.100 --> 19:43.640]  This is fun.
[19:44.060 --> 19:54.420]  So a couple of years ago, I think it was at Black Hat, Jeremiah Grossman, I think, released this interesting CSS hack where basically the way...
[19:54.420 --> 20:05.120]  With jQuery, the way it works is when you look at a web page and you have a list of links, if you've clicked on a link, it will show up in a different color than a link that you haven't clicked on.
[20:05.220 --> 20:09.060]  And you can actually use a tool that can determine whether you've visited that or not.
[20:09.500 --> 20:18.680]  So we initially had a script that would hammer about 250 web addresses when you were logging in to try to get an idea of what kind of websites people were visiting.
[20:18.780 --> 20:20.880]  And that's what was causing the initial log-in issue.
[20:21.000 --> 20:22.360]  I had to disable that early on.
[20:22.520 --> 20:25.900]  It would have been really cool if it worked, but it was causing problems.
[20:26.680 --> 20:27.580]  Sidepocket, you have a question?
[20:27.820 --> 20:29.820]  Yeah, I kind of got my question answered.
[20:29.960 --> 20:31.660]  I was going to say, were games implemented yet?
[20:31.860 --> 20:34.300]  So the question is that, what were these games?
[20:34.440 --> 20:36.200]  Because when I logged in this...
[20:36.200 --> 20:40.140]  It must be very recent, because last time I logged in, a couple of hours ago, my game page did not load.
[20:40.240 --> 20:42.540]  So I have no idea what these games were or that they existed.
[20:43.160 --> 20:43.940]  Can you answer that?
[20:45.060 --> 20:47.220]  We originally were supposed to have...
[20:47.220 --> 20:49.060]  Well, we were originally supposed to have two games.
[20:49.740 --> 20:55.360]  Our time schedule forced us to bring it down to one sort of game that we're doing based on stats.
[20:55.360 --> 21:05.280]  The stats game is basically rewards for activities completed based on where you were in the conference, like how many talks you were at, how many workshops you were at.
[21:05.400 --> 21:07.200]  So that's going to be in a couple of minutes.
[21:07.340 --> 21:24.540]  The other game was going to be a scavenger hunt, but location tracking to maintain people gathering things based on their location and proximity to other things proved to be a lot of complex programming that we could do in the timeframe that we had.
[21:24.880 --> 21:25.260]  Okay.
[21:25.340 --> 21:25.600]  I'm just curious.
[21:25.600 --> 21:40.260]  We basically took a system that tracked where 200 people were and turned it into something that could track 1,400 people in under four months, which is... and do a lot more than that.
[21:41.180 --> 21:42.000]  Thank you.
[21:42.740 --> 21:43.060]  Congratulations.
[21:44.840 --> 21:53.200]  And Chris Petro and Ragefury, who is very shy and hunting in the corner, did an immense amount of coding to get this thing going.
[21:53.300 --> 22:00.360]  And so did Echo and Cupo and Aesthetics and TPFR and all these guys really put in a tremendous amount of effort to get it rolling.
[22:07.660 --> 22:08.140]  Question?
[22:08.140 --> 22:09.140]  A quick one.
[22:09.280 --> 22:20.320]  In light of the large financial investment that was made in the hardware and the fact that the tags are reprogrammable, do you recommend that people retain them for possible application in the future, not just as a souvenir, but...
[22:20.320 --> 22:21.300]  That's a Milos question.
[22:21.820 --> 22:29.760]  So please bring your tags over at the next conference, so in case we do this tracking, we can reprogram it so it's not a big deal from our side.
[22:29.760 --> 22:37.320]  So we will probably... there will be another tracking, we will make another batch, but you can easily reprogram it.
[22:37.940 --> 22:45.500]  And so bring your tags next time and we will reprogram it for free and probably... yeah.
[22:45.880 --> 22:46.220]  Thank you.
[22:49.620 --> 22:59.860]  I just wanted to point out that maybe a really interesting statistic would be the percent difference of people who were there at the start of a talk versus who were there at the end of the talk.
[23:05.260 --> 23:11.140]  I was actually wondering, so the tags are a few dollars each, I gather, but how much are the receivers?
[23:11.480 --> 23:13.880]  So how much costed the actual infrastructure?
[23:16.060 --> 23:19.880]  Yeah, it's hard to tell because it's not openly available on the market yet.
[23:20.080 --> 23:26.260]  But what we have, if you want to play around with this, we also have made a low-cost reader based on USB.
[23:26.260 --> 23:28.280]  It's called Open Beacon USB.
[23:28.780 --> 23:36.640]  It contains an ARM processor, so you can just plug it into your laptop and you can run basically the same algorithms on this.
[23:36.820 --> 23:44.620]  So if you have, for example, say at university, you just plug it in random computers and you can set up this tracking system easily.
[23:44.900 --> 23:48.260]  And currently I think it's sold for something like $85 or so each.
[23:48.260 --> 23:51.100]  So I think that's the cheapest possibility.
[23:51.740 --> 23:56.800]  We will come up with a new reader design, which will be also open-source with an ARM processor.
[23:57.560 --> 24:01.000]  And we will release this something in three to four months.
[24:01.200 --> 24:05.520]  It will contain SD card, micro SD card slots, so you can store data locally.
[24:06.240 --> 24:08.700]  And all sources will be made available again.
[24:09.020 --> 24:14.240]  The existing readers you see here is based on a custom design we did.
[24:14.240 --> 24:17.840]  And it's a highly proprietary microcontroller.
[24:18.080 --> 24:21.580]  It's a Ubicom 2022, if somebody knows it.
[24:21.740 --> 24:25.720]  It contains an embedded 10 megabit Ethernet interface.
[24:25.960 --> 24:30.760]  But the SDK for it is tremendously expensive, something like $7,000.
[24:31.120 --> 24:33.060]  So it's no point of releasing it into the public.
[24:33.600 --> 24:41.840]  Therefore, we are currently clean room re-implementing a new Ethernet-based reader based on the Open Beacon USB, basically.
[24:41.840 --> 24:46.160]  You have this very nice free Arters operating system running there.
[24:46.680 --> 24:54.180]  So even for programmers that are not experienced in embedded programming at all, it's very easy to create tasks there.
[24:54.360 --> 24:55.600]  It's very efficient.
[24:56.180 --> 24:58.140]  The remaining code footprint very low.
[24:58.280 --> 25:01.680]  You have a debug terminal over USB.
[25:02.000 --> 25:07.100]  So it's very, very easy for average common line programmers to extend it.
[25:07.100 --> 25:11.080]  And it will have a full TCP/IP stack, a web server.
[25:11.300 --> 25:19.040]  So basically, it is, I think, our suggested platform for Ethernet-based tracking solutions in the future.
[25:19.260 --> 25:24.380]  So please be patient and you will have a nice open-source solution in some months.
[25:24.640 --> 25:28.180]  Check it back to our openbeacon.org website and it will keep you up to date.
[25:28.720 --> 25:29.300]  Thank you.
[25:34.700 --> 25:37.120]  Okay, so we have some statistics up here.
[25:37.500 --> 25:42.160]  We are looking for ID number 4048.
[25:42.420 --> 25:43.360]  So if you look at your badge.
[25:43.660 --> 25:49.960]  And it's also the handle blackfish and marsman8790.
[25:49.980 --> 25:54.820]  If you want to come up, you are the top ten pingers with a count of seven.
[25:58.560 --> 25:59.640]  The top two.
[26:00.240 --> 26:01.420]  And you have a tie.
[26:01.920 --> 26:05.360]  So if those guys, ladies or gentlemen, want to come up.
[26:07.100 --> 26:09.440]  Chris, why don't you explain the stats we've got here.
[26:09.800 --> 26:10.080]  Okay.
[26:10.280 --> 26:12.460]  We have a few stats we were able to mine real quickly.
[26:13.100 --> 26:17.020]  I definitely like the idea of seeing who stays for an entire talk most.
[26:18.080 --> 26:21.860]  If I had Toad up here, I'd probably try and crank that out while we're on stage, but I don't.
[26:23.400 --> 26:33.680]  What we do have is some information about who pinged people the most, who was pinged the most, who went to the most talks, and who was actually on the RFID network the longest.
[26:33.920 --> 26:36.360]  So when you go up to your room, you go off the network.
[26:36.760 --> 26:40.180]  When you leave to go out to lunch or whatever, you go off the network.
[26:40.340 --> 26:45.860]  But there are some people who are actually in either on this floor or on the second floor for an extraordinary amount of time this weekend.
[26:46.060 --> 26:48.560]  So we've got some prizes for them too.
[26:48.940 --> 26:49.180]  Okay.
[26:49.180 --> 26:49.240]  Okay.
[26:49.860 --> 26:52.680]  This is Blackfish, and he's won a TV-B-Gone.
[26:58.580 --> 26:59.060]  Okay.
[27:01.060 --> 27:02.380]  Is Marsman8790 here?
[27:02.620 --> 27:02.940]  Yes.
[27:03.220 --> 27:03.320]  Yes.
[27:03.720 --> 27:04.000]  Okay.
[27:04.380 --> 27:06.840]  Do you want a t-shirt or a TV-B-Gone?
[27:07.720 --> 27:08.700]  TV-B-Gone, please.
[27:10.840 --> 27:11.800]  Thank you very much.
[27:12.020 --> 27:12.200]  Thank you.
[27:12.800 --> 27:13.280]  Okay.
[27:14.960 --> 27:18.800]  So now the top 10 Ping E's, and there was not a tie for that one.
[27:18.920 --> 27:20.400]  So number one is Bicycle Mark.
[27:21.520 --> 27:22.280]  Bicycle Mark here?
[27:23.100 --> 27:23.660]  He left.
[27:24.100 --> 27:24.360]  He left.
[27:24.860 --> 27:25.840]  People loved you.
[27:26.480 --> 27:26.720]  Okay.
[27:26.900 --> 27:28.440]  Show of hands from the team.
[27:28.600 --> 27:30.580]  Do we go to the next one, or do we try to find him?
[27:30.680 --> 27:30.800]  Yeah.
[27:31.580 --> 27:31.840]  Okay.
[27:32.020 --> 27:33.240]  Is Chuck Norris here?
[27:34.120 --> 27:34.920]  Chuck Norris.
[27:40.580 --> 27:42.480]  Badge number three, one, one, one.
[27:45.400 --> 27:45.860]  Anyone.
[27:46.280 --> 27:46.320]  Anyone.
[27:47.000 --> 27:47.940]  That's all the information.
[27:49.800 --> 27:50.640]  Right behind you.
[27:50.640 --> 27:54.800]  You can like scroll down the webpage.
[27:55.040 --> 27:55.140]  Yeah.
[27:57.060 --> 27:57.740]  Okay.
[27:59.240 --> 28:05.180]  So the top 10 talk attendee, attenders, number one was Arch Griffin.
[28:05.400 --> 28:06.240]  Scroll over.
[28:06.540 --> 28:06.960]  You can't see that.
[28:07.980 --> 28:08.760]  Thank you.
[28:09.600 --> 28:11.700]  Arch Griffin, number 4051.
[28:12.600 --> 28:12.880]  Are you here?
[28:14.200 --> 28:14.600]  Yay.
[28:15.560 --> 28:16.000]  All right.
[28:16.180 --> 28:16.460]  Come on.
[28:23.870 --> 28:27.150]  And top 10 spent in range.
[28:27.670 --> 28:29.570]  Tech Darko was here for...
[28:29.570 --> 28:30.150]  Scroll up.
[28:30.470 --> 28:30.490]  Scroll up.
[28:30.490 --> 28:33.130]  Also we have one other person there who actually went to 25 talks.
[28:34.430 --> 28:36.630]  He's been in the radio booth the entire weekend.
[28:36.970 --> 28:37.110]  Yeah.
[28:37.310 --> 28:38.370]  We're not allowed to do so.
[28:39.490 --> 28:39.550]  Okay.
[28:39.990 --> 28:41.130]  T-shirt is...
[28:42.110 --> 28:42.670]  Okay.
[28:47.850 --> 28:48.410]  Okay.
[28:49.570 --> 28:50.130]  I think...
[28:51.210 --> 28:53.970]  Does anybody else have anything else to cover?
[28:56.970 --> 28:57.410]  No?
[28:57.630 --> 28:58.490]  Can you scroll up?
[28:59.230 --> 29:00.050]  It's at the bottom.
[29:00.570 --> 29:00.830]  Oh, okay.
[29:00.990 --> 29:01.810]  No, we can't scroll up.
[29:03.010 --> 29:03.450]  Yeah.
[29:03.810 --> 29:08.010]  A bunch of guys from the radio group are actually in the top because they never left.
[29:13.170 --> 29:14.350]  He came up.
[29:15.090 --> 29:15.650]  Okay.
[29:15.930 --> 29:16.490]  Yeah.
[29:17.310 --> 29:17.810]  Okay.
[29:18.030 --> 29:18.370]  Thank you.
[29:28.450 --> 29:30.010]  The network team's coming up.
[29:31.190 --> 29:31.690]  Yes.
[29:32.870 --> 29:36.170]  We don't know for certain that the hotel will be torn down.
[29:36.170 --> 29:37.090]  And we know it's a possibility.
[29:38.190 --> 29:43.470]  We don't know for certain we might not meet again at this place, although it's a possibility.
[29:46.130 --> 29:47.530]  A lot of things are possible.
[29:47.790 --> 29:49.030]  We'll make some of them happen.
[29:52.530 --> 29:53.910]  We're just waiting for Emmanuel.
[29:54.150 --> 29:59.590]  We're going to have a closing ceremony of deep sorrow.
[30:02.530 --> 30:03.510]  Absolutely solemn.
[30:08.660 --> 30:25.240]  We're also going to invite some of the people, not necessarily every single person, but some of what we sometimes call the core group, the group of people that were section leaders, the people that have been working on this for up to a year, certainly quite a few months.
[30:25.360 --> 30:35.960]  A lot of emails, a lot of cell phone calls, little IRC, face-to-face meetings, whatever it took.
[30:38.320 --> 30:43.020]  Let's have the core staff, everyone knows who they are, I think, come up on stage.
[30:43.580 --> 30:45.600]  Emmanuel is on his way in, I think, as we speak.
[30:56.630 --> 30:57.130]  I know
[31:00.780 --> 31:06.520]  he's on the way.
[31:16.940 --> 31:20.660]  I'd like to remind us at this time to be appropriately respectful.
[31:21.400 --> 31:22.800]  It's a somber mood.
[31:24.940 --> 31:25.960]  Serious occasion.
[31:25.960 --> 31:26.000]  If you have a question.
[31:31.530 --> 31:32.190]  You can use the key.
[31:32.790 --> 31:32.830]  What?
[31:33.050 --> 31:33.550]  I'm using the key.
[31:34.010 --> 31:34.770]  Okay, I'm not trying to.
[31:56.670 --> 31:57.110]  Windows.
[31:58.110 --> 31:58.670]  You've got it.
[31:59.010 --> 31:59.170]  I know.
[32:24.640 --> 32:25.460]  Play it again.
[32:26.500 --> 32:26.740]  Linux.
[33:20.010 --> 33:21.210]  Okay, it's on the screen, right?
[33:21.470 --> 33:22.050]  Yep, okay.
[33:23.830 --> 33:25.010]  So I get on the show.
[33:25.390 --> 33:26.770]  You can see, it's on the show.
[33:26.770 --> 33:26.810]  It's on the next.
[33:27.490 --> 33:27.930]  Okay, so...
[33:27.930 --> 33:28.610]  It's on the next.
[33:28.850 --> 33:29.550]  Okay, so...
[33:47.130 --> 33:47.790]  Thank you.
[33:48.970 --> 33:52.470]  For that moment of silence.
[33:53.350 --> 33:54.010]  Thank you.
[33:57.710 --> 34:01.210]  I don't suppose there's any way to have these brilliant lights taken off of me, is there?
[34:02.490 --> 34:02.750]  No.
[34:02.990 --> 34:03.350]  Okay, fine.
[34:06.870 --> 34:07.550]  One second.
[34:07.650 --> 34:08.850]  I'm dealing with several computers here.
[34:08.850 --> 34:11.090]  Okay.
[34:12.820 --> 34:20.260]  Well, we're gathered here today to remember hope in all its glory.
[34:20.640 --> 34:25.760]  From 1994 until 2008.
[34:26.900 --> 34:32.040]  The present day where we're currently gathered.
[34:33.760 --> 34:39.820]  And let's try and remember the conference as a positive thing.
[34:39.960 --> 34:45.240]  Something that we started back in 1994 and had again in 1997.
[34:46.720 --> 34:48.840]  And then in 2000.
[34:49.920 --> 34:53.560]  And I think beyond that as well.
[34:54.560 --> 34:55.260]  Yes.
[34:55.460 --> 34:56.780]  It's been a long weekend.
[35:03.830 --> 35:05.650]  Um, yes.
[35:06.010 --> 35:06.510]  Okay.
[35:23.980 --> 35:25.500]  Please observe respect.
[35:49.980 --> 35:51.060]  No pushing.
[37:51.560 --> 37:54.540]  An important priest is going to speak to you now.
[38:02.520 --> 38:03.460]  Oh, yeah.
[38:08.590 --> 38:09.910]  That's the blood of hope.
[38:11.150 --> 38:12.410]  Well, okay.
[38:12.770 --> 38:13.390]  Here we are.
[38:13.950 --> 38:15.650]  And what a procession.
[38:16.390 --> 38:19.550]  Again, we are gathered here to remember hope.
[38:19.730 --> 38:26.090]  And let us remember HOPe as it occurred back in 1994.
[38:26.570 --> 38:28.050]  How many of you were here for this?
[38:28.630 --> 38:29.190]  Oh, wow.
[38:29.590 --> 38:30.010]  Not bad.
[38:30.670 --> 38:31.430]  That was the first HOPE.
[38:31.530 --> 38:32.490]  Hackers on planet Earth.
[38:32.810 --> 38:34.330]  In this very same hotel.
[38:35.090 --> 38:36.430]  The Hotel Pennsylvania.
[38:38.230 --> 38:41.110]  In 1997, we moved to a different location.
[38:43.890 --> 38:45.150]  Oh, he's going to kill me.
[38:47.070 --> 38:48.310]  He doesn't look like that anymore.
[38:48.570 --> 38:51.410]  But that's the only picture we could find with the bumper sticker.
[38:51.410 --> 38:54.050]  And that took place in the Puck Building downtown.
[38:54.410 --> 38:56.650]  That was the only conference that we didn't have in this building.
[38:57.790 --> 38:59.450]  That was in 1997.
[38:59.970 --> 39:04.070]  And then in 2000, we came right back to the Hotel Pennsylvania for H2K.
[39:04.070 --> 39:05.230]  How many of you were here for that?
[39:06.730 --> 39:07.750]  Oh, quite a few.
[39:07.990 --> 39:08.350]  Quite a few.
[39:08.830 --> 39:09.890]  You keep coming back.
[39:10.590 --> 39:15.430]  Two years later, with a name nobody expected, H2K2.
[39:17.710 --> 39:22.830]  And all kinds of interesting little cards that we handed out as admission badges.
[39:24.130 --> 39:29.030]  And then, of course, people tried to call the next one H2K4 for some reason.
[39:29.190 --> 39:30.490]  But no, it was The Fifth HOPE.
[39:31.210 --> 39:33.030]  And that kind of confused everybody.
[39:33.030 --> 39:34.310]  How many of you were here for that one?
[39:34.530 --> 39:35.450]  Oh, more people.
[39:35.590 --> 39:38.430]  Almost, I'd say, 60% of the people.
[39:39.650 --> 39:43.710]  And then, two years ago, HOPE Number Six.
[39:45.170 --> 39:47.150]  I haven't asked the question yet, but okay.
[39:48.750 --> 39:51.290]  How many of you were here for that one as well?
[39:51.950 --> 39:52.830]  Very nice.
[39:53.570 --> 39:56.390]  And now, of course, The Last Hope.
[39:56.770 --> 39:58.530]  And, you know, I guess maybe...
[40:01.710 --> 40:03.270]  Maybe I should have expected that.
[40:07.920 --> 40:15.560]  I guess this is my fault because there might have been a little bit of confusion about the whole Last HOPE thing.
[40:15.680 --> 40:22.200]  I mean, you know, the whole carrying the caskets around and the flowers and the candles and the death.
[40:22.360 --> 40:23.780]  It's, you know, it's all kind of cool, don't you think?
[40:23.780 --> 40:30.340]  It's just kind of the dark image of, you know, satanic metal music and stuff.
[40:30.460 --> 40:30.780]  I don't know.
[40:30.900 --> 40:32.540]  It just seemed kind of cool at the time.
[40:32.680 --> 40:39.800]  But mostly, the confusion seems to be about definitions of words.
[40:41.680 --> 40:53.140]  And I think maybe what people were asking me the most, not only this weekend, but in the months preceding this conference, why is it The Last HOPE?
[40:53.320 --> 40:55.440]  People would constantly come up to me and ask me that question.
[40:55.560 --> 40:59.280]  And all I could say to them was, it's because that's what it is.
[40:59.280 --> 41:00.380]  It's The Last HOPE.
[41:00.540 --> 41:02.640]  I mean, you know, why is anything anything?
[41:02.920 --> 41:04.020]  Things happen for a reason.
[41:04.020 --> 41:06.640]  And we all know the definitions of words.
[41:07.100 --> 41:08.160]  Last, of course, meaning.
[41:08.460 --> 41:08.680]  Final.
[41:08.800 --> 41:09.260]  That's it.
[41:09.340 --> 41:09.820]  No more.
[41:10.320 --> 41:10.680]  Done.
[41:11.060 --> 41:11.420]  Finito.
[41:13.460 --> 41:13.700]  Yeah.
[41:14.160 --> 41:18.080]  And, well, I mean, you know, there's good and there's bad to definitions of words.
[41:18.420 --> 41:18.960]  All right?
[41:19.040 --> 41:21.140]  And, for instance, this is one thing you can say.
[41:21.240 --> 41:23.880]  This is the last year we will have this man as our president.
[41:33.030 --> 41:35.310]  I am not injecting politics into hacking.
[41:35.470 --> 41:37.570]  What I'm doing is simply using the word in a sentence.
[41:39.850 --> 41:41.130]  And it's a fact.
[41:42.310 --> 41:48.130]  Now, here's where I must take a little bit of responsibility for perhaps not being entirely clear.
[41:48.230 --> 41:50.810]  There is a different meaning to the word last.
[41:51.830 --> 41:53.150]  The most recent.
[41:53.370 --> 41:53.850]  Previous.
[41:54.070 --> 41:55.490]  The one that just happened.
[41:55.790 --> 42:00.990]  For instance, the question being, did you attend The Last HOPE conference?
[42:04.030 --> 42:04.670]  Yes.
[42:05.730 --> 42:09.750]  And I intend to be at The Next HOPE conference.
[42:47.340 --> 42:49.520]  Maybe we should have had The Last HOPE a long time ago.
[42:49.820 --> 42:50.820]  That kind of response.
[42:51.780 --> 42:54.200]  But, yeah, you know, they're not going to tear this place down.
[42:54.400 --> 42:54.800]  No way.
[42:55.160 --> 42:56.660]  I mean, this place is just too...
[42:56.660 --> 42:58.080]  It means too much to too many people.
[42:58.080 --> 43:02.400]  And I've heard from a lot of people who work here that the plans...
[43:02.400 --> 43:08.800]  Because of the failing economy, believe it or not, the plans to tear this place down have been shelved for the indefinite future.
[43:16.100 --> 43:21.120]  So, whatever you can do to hurt the economy, I suppose, will help this place.
[43:22.980 --> 43:24.140]  Whatever you feel like doing.
[43:24.440 --> 43:33.320]  But, I mean, a lot of you guys, Pyro especially, I don't know if he's in the audience, really took it upon themselves to get the word out about the hotel, how important it is to save it.
[43:33.480 --> 43:34.540]  And I think it made a difference.
[43:34.920 --> 43:35.900]  They'll never admit it.
[43:36.140 --> 43:37.960]  For not all the people who own the place will never admit it.
[43:38.040 --> 43:38.660]  But I think it did.
[43:39.080 --> 43:42.220]  And I think a lot of people realize that, yeah, this is a weird place.
[43:42.220 --> 43:46.460]  It's a weird hotel, a lot of strange rooms and floors and stories.
[43:47.320 --> 43:48.740]  But it's our place.
[43:48.740 --> 43:50.140]  And it's very unique.
[43:50.360 --> 43:52.560]  And the people that run it have been very good to us.
[43:52.620 --> 43:53.980]  And I think we've all had a great weekend.
[43:54.480 --> 43:54.960]  Am I right?
[44:07.240 --> 44:22.160]  And I really have to thank you guys more than anybody, because you established the tone of the whole weekend, just by being so cool, hanging out, and learning so much, coming to the talks, being part of the whole AMD project, which people worked so tirelessly on to make that work.
[44:23.360 --> 44:26.040]  The Radio Statler, which I thought was an incredible idea.
[44:26.740 --> 44:28.400]  So many things happened at this conference.
[44:28.520 --> 44:30.000]  I think we had more projects than ever.
[44:30.260 --> 44:32.180]  And we had a bigger turnout than ever.
[44:32.360 --> 44:35.380]  And that's one of the reasons why, hell, we'd be crazy not to do this again.
[44:35.600 --> 44:36.640]  So, yeah, we're going to be here.
[44:37.780 --> 44:41.800]  But, you know, I don't want to be the only person thanking people, because I'm going to forget so many.
[44:42.020 --> 44:45.360]  So I'm going to just introduce it to the people down there.
[44:45.480 --> 44:49.740]  These are only a few of the people that have been working tirelessly for weeks, months even.
[44:49.740 --> 44:56.720]  Actually, I guess I really should introduce Mike first, because he's the guy responsible for bringing Club-Mate to the United States.
[45:05.710 --> 45:12.530]  Mike, could you possibly just tell us a little bit of what you had to go through to get five pallets of the stuff over here and get these people addicted?
[45:13.570 --> 45:15.590]  It's about a hundred emails back and forth.
[45:15.810 --> 45:20.190]  And the people who sell it don't speak English, and I speak almost no German.
[45:20.610 --> 45:23.590]  So it was something of a challenge, but we had a lot of help.
[45:23.590 --> 45:27.550]  We had Alain in Switzerland who couldn't make it, because he just started a new job.
[45:27.750 --> 45:32.170]  But for whatever reason, was really dedicated to this project and kept translating for us.
[45:32.870 --> 45:39.830]  And Lin, who is maybe even right up here, but certainly in the room, told us how to import food.
[45:39.930 --> 45:41.290]  He's a food safety expert.
[45:41.590 --> 45:43.390]  Hackers are food safety experts, too.
[45:46.230 --> 45:51.430]  So a lot of people helped with this project, and a lot of people seem to like the results.
[45:51.450 --> 45:53.390]  So I'm happy if you did.
[46:00.380 --> 46:06.600]  I should say that if you want to buy a lot of it, we'll probably consider importing more.
[46:07.060 --> 46:14.780]  So go to club-mate.us and click on the contact link and get in touch if you want to buy some.
[46:15.440 --> 46:18.460]  Yeah, it turns out the magazine business isn't all that profitable.
[46:18.620 --> 46:22.020]  But this is something that we really could become millionaires at.
[46:22.120 --> 46:23.120]  So we're going to give that a shot.
[46:23.640 --> 46:25.820]  The first 24 years, all right, that was good.
[46:25.940 --> 46:28.480]  But now it's about addicting caffeine beverages.
[46:29.800 --> 46:30.960]  We have Germany to thank.
[46:31.320 --> 46:33.240]  Nick Farr here from D.C.
[46:33.920 --> 46:43.800]  I think it was seeing Nick in Berlin, just buying bottles of the stuff by the armful, and with this manic look on his face, that told me, you know, there's something here.
[46:43.940 --> 46:45.340]  There's a market to be exploited.
[46:46.020 --> 46:48.960]  And I want to thank you, Nick, for putting that idea in my head.
[46:49.200 --> 46:52.940]  And in fact, you have a whole pallet that you're taking home with you for your personal use.
[46:53.960 --> 46:55.240]  Yes, thank you very much for that.
[46:55.540 --> 46:56.480]  That's most excellent.
[46:57.480 --> 46:58.240]  I'm serious.
[46:59.760 --> 47:07.000]  For those of you who don't know, I ran a project called Hackers on a Plain, which took people from last year's DEFCON to the CCC camp.
[47:07.280 --> 47:24.680]  And unfortunately, some of the people that I brought over to work for me started to realize how fun Berlin was, how fun their certain recreational materials were, and quickly disappeared, which meant that I had to stay up for four or five days at a time.
[47:24.680 --> 47:27.080]  And I don't think I could have done it without Club-Mate.
[47:29.040 --> 47:33.680]  As soon as I get my pallet home, it will be a very productive and sleepless three months.
[47:45.340 --> 47:46.460]  All right, I'm Juntz.
[47:46.600 --> 47:47.940]  I can't say I ran registration.
[47:48.140 --> 47:48.760]  It kind of ran itself.
[47:48.920 --> 47:53.900]  But I have to thank Megan, because she put in 14-hour days the whole weekend, getting people through.
[47:54.220 --> 47:57.660]  Besides me, she was the other, like, permanent person down there.
[47:57.660 --> 47:59.940]  But Pala, Adrian, they helped a lot.
[48:00.120 --> 48:04.060]  Joe, Marcus, Voltaire, Arsenio all filled in.
[48:04.400 --> 48:06.700]  And we had Aldert, he'll be speaking also.
[48:06.880 --> 48:08.060]  But I just wanted to thank you guys.
[48:15.700 --> 48:18.640]  I'm Cheshire, and I was the volunteer coordinator this year.
[48:19.220 --> 48:27.140]  I want to thank the folks at UPOC.com, U-P-O-C.com, for, well, we've used their network to communicate with a bunch of volunteers.
[48:27.140 --> 48:32.200]  There were some folks on Twitter who actually passed some useful intelligence that we were able to use as well.
[48:33.200 --> 48:35.040]  And I want to thank those folks.
[48:35.980 --> 48:38.040]  All my volunteers, I want to thank you again.
[48:38.860 --> 48:39.940]  We're going to need you again.
[48:40.320 --> 48:44.240]  We're going to need you to help tear down this room and some stuff on the mezzanine.
[48:44.720 --> 48:46.220]  And there are T-shirts involved.
[48:46.400 --> 48:47.820]  So we do appreciate your help.
[48:48.260 --> 48:48.860]  Thank you.
[49:04.780 --> 49:05.820]  Are we on?
[49:06.100 --> 49:06.520]  We are.
[49:06.800 --> 49:08.080]  My voice isn't, but we are.
[49:08.420 --> 49:18.080]  And I was organizing the microcontroller workshop and helped with some earlier stuff before I got too busy, sorry.
[49:18.500 --> 49:22.140]  But, yeah, there were a lot of people who helped make that possible.
[49:22.800 --> 49:26.900]  All of my friends at Noisebridge, the hackerspace we're starting in San Francisco.
[49:27.840 --> 49:29.580]  Including Rachel and Andy.
[49:30.260 --> 49:32.720]  And there's also Constantine.
[49:33.100 --> 49:38.280]  Thank you very much for making so many people happy, making cool things with microcontrollers.
[49:45.960 --> 49:47.790]  My name is Mike Roadancer.
[49:48.160 --> 49:50.440]  I've been doing security for HOPE.
[49:51.480 --> 49:52.290]  Oh, man.
[49:52.540 --> 49:53.040]  Long time.
[49:53.750 --> 49:56.040]  First thing, everybody in an orange shirt.
[49:56.380 --> 49:57.680]  Raise your hand over here.
[50:02.390 --> 50:03.050]  Okay.
[50:04.170 --> 50:13.250]  These are the guys that had to put up with sleepless nights, missing a few of the sessions, to keep an eye on everybody else.
[50:14.170 --> 50:17.370]  Let me tell you, from me, thank you.
[50:17.850 --> 50:18.750]  Where's Frank at?
[50:19.970 --> 50:20.830]  Frank's over there.
[50:21.110 --> 50:21.850]  Frank's hiding.
[50:22.830 --> 50:24.390]  Frank is my cohort.
[50:28.590 --> 50:35.210]  If there was no Frank, I would be in a straight jacket right about now.
[50:36.750 --> 50:38.090]  Hey, stop that.
[50:40.170 --> 50:44.210]  This conference was unique in just about every way.
[50:45.310 --> 50:49.690]  We're not sure what happened, whether the planets aligned or anything else.
[50:50.910 --> 50:55.790]  But somebody came by today to apologize for bad behavior.
[50:56.490 --> 50:59.710]  And I had to sit there and ask four people to pinch me.
[51:02.330 --> 51:08.590]  We had people losing Blackberries, one of the new 3G iPhones.
[51:10.130 --> 51:13.010]  Anybody want to bet on the odds of those getting returned?
[51:13.830 --> 51:14.930]  50-50.
[51:15.210 --> 51:15.510]  Okay.
[51:15.790 --> 51:18.750]  Earlier conferences, hell would have froze solid first.
[51:20.330 --> 51:27.090]  They were returned simply by sending them a text message going, please return this phone to the security desk.
[51:28.870 --> 51:31.850]  I think there's one other thing that's not been claimed.
[51:34.490 --> 51:35.610]  Christopher J.
[51:35.990 --> 51:37.690]  Smith Hale, are you in here?
[51:39.810 --> 51:42.610]  Okay, well, I got your 411s, motherf*cker.
[51:47.530 --> 51:49.690]  I'm going to mail this shit back to him.
[51:50.850 --> 51:52.190]  But it was amazing.
[51:52.870 --> 51:54.130]  People were nice.
[51:54.370 --> 51:55.670]  I mean, people were nice.
[51:56.570 --> 51:58.330]  The speakers were incredible.
[51:59.370 --> 52:00.870]  Everything went smoothly.
[52:00.870 --> 52:02.810]  Unfortunately, we didn't get any sleep.
[52:03.910 --> 52:08.030]  And like I said, once again, Frank, thank you.
[52:11.280 --> 52:17.140]  There's one other person I'd like to thank, one other person, who is on this three-person team.
[52:17.840 --> 52:19.320]  It goes by the handle Kush.
[52:19.920 --> 52:21.480]  Kush couldn't be here, unfortunately.
[52:21.780 --> 52:23.160]  He threw his back out, had to go home.
[52:23.420 --> 52:27.260]  So he's on the injured list this time.
[52:27.420 --> 52:31.080]  But let me tell you, you guys are incredible this year.
[52:31.080 --> 52:33.280]  We've had incredible people over the years.
[52:33.480 --> 52:36.620]  I think when this all started, my daughter was five years old.
[52:36.760 --> 52:37.520]  She's now 20.
[52:39.260 --> 52:42.540]  Okay, in 2010, I'm not even going to tell you how old I'm going to be.
[52:43.660 --> 52:45.720]  And I hope to see every last one of you here.
[52:46.310 --> 52:50.140]  And by the way, y'all are incredibly talented people.
[52:50.460 --> 52:51.560]  Make use of it.
[53:02.890 --> 53:05.470]  We have so many more people to thank and so many more things to do.
[53:05.470 --> 53:06.350]  And why are you hitting me?
[53:06.550 --> 53:07.290]  I want to mention church.
[53:08.130 --> 53:08.710]  Everybody to help me.
[53:08.710 --> 53:08.910]  Okay.
[53:09.090 --> 53:09.290]  All right.
[53:09.370 --> 53:09.710]  We'll get to it.
[53:09.790 --> 53:10.330]  There's so many things.
[53:10.450 --> 53:11.850]  We all want to get to all different things.
[53:11.950 --> 53:15.530]  But I know everybody has their favorite talk that they've been to.
[53:15.590 --> 53:16.870]  We had more talks than ever before.
[53:16.990 --> 53:18.010]  I think we had 100 or so.
[53:18.590 --> 53:20.170]  Not counting the unscheduled ones.
[53:20.170 --> 53:22.330]  We had four tracks, which is the first for us.
[53:22.390 --> 53:24.430]  And I think it went really swimmingly.
[53:24.590 --> 53:25.770]  All of our speakers showed up.
[53:26.030 --> 53:27.610]  No cancellations or anything like that.
[53:33.700 --> 53:35.640]  And an amazing job by all of them.
[53:35.640 --> 53:36.420]  It's simply incredible.
[53:36.600 --> 53:37.780]  We had Adam Savage here before.
[53:38.160 --> 53:40.360]  We had Jello Biafra and Kevin Mitnick.
[53:40.480 --> 53:42.500]  And all kinds of well-known people.
[53:42.560 --> 53:45.240]  As well as all sorts of people that you haven't heard of before.
[53:45.380 --> 53:47.060]  That are really cool and really talented.
[53:47.820 --> 53:48.600]  One of whom.
[53:48.680 --> 53:50.140]  One of whom happens to be here now.
[53:50.480 --> 53:55.400]  I don't know how many of you attended the corporate anthems talk on Friday night.
[53:56.080 --> 53:58.980]  But this is just something absolutely incredible.
[53:59.460 --> 54:00.780]  I saw this in Germany.
[54:01.160 --> 54:03.040]  And Johannes from Austria is here.
[54:03.200 --> 54:05.120]  Just to liven things up a little bit.
[54:05.120 --> 54:07.840]  I know things have been a little bit down with the caskets and all the black stuff.
[54:08.160 --> 54:10.640]  You know, let's get a little bit more happy and positive.
[54:10.820 --> 54:12.220]  And think ahead to the future.
[54:12.520 --> 54:14.000]  To the next hope and all that.
[54:14.280 --> 54:14.500]  Johannes.
[54:14.980 --> 54:15.380]  Thanks.
[54:16.800 --> 54:17.200]  Okay.
[54:18.040 --> 54:18.440]  Hello.
[54:22.200 --> 54:26.420]  It's always such a wonderful time in your, I have to repeat it, freeish country.
[54:28.600 --> 54:30.980]  So, my name is Johannes and I'm from Austria.
[54:31.140 --> 54:32.620]  And Austria actually looks like that.
[54:37.520 --> 54:41.780]  I'm from a piece of the world you maybe never go.
[54:41.940 --> 54:46.080]  But, you know, we have like a really interesting history of fascism and Hitler and all this stuff.
[54:46.160 --> 54:47.300]  That's kind of cool.
[54:49.160 --> 54:53.140]  And we speak a strange language called German.
[54:53.540 --> 54:53.640]  Okay.
[54:54.080 --> 54:57.160]  Actually, it's the standard variety of Austrian German.
[54:57.420 --> 54:57.540]  Yeah.
[54:57.560 --> 55:00.160]  The difference is like a German German would say Scheiße.
[55:00.520 --> 55:02.740]  And Austrian German says Scheiße.
[55:03.300 --> 55:03.440]  Yeah.
[55:03.480 --> 55:04.260]  That's like...
[55:04.260 --> 55:04.600]  Okay.
[55:05.580 --> 55:06.180]  Okay.
[55:06.380 --> 55:09.700]  I come from a country with a language called Austrian German.
[55:09.700 --> 55:14.060]  And we have a really cool term for this thing.
[55:14.240 --> 55:15.060]  How do you call it here?
[55:15.520 --> 55:15.940]  Yes.
[55:16.120 --> 55:17.060]  It's the ad symbol.
[55:17.400 --> 55:19.680]  In German we call it Klammeraffe.
[55:19.840 --> 55:21.020]  The clinging monkey.
[55:24.560 --> 55:28.500]  And I would like to try a linguistic experiment.
[55:28.680 --> 55:30.820]  An experiment in epidemiology now.
[55:31.000 --> 55:31.100]  Okay.
[55:31.380 --> 55:33.080]  So, there are so many cool people out there.
[55:33.240 --> 55:34.960]  Most of you are opinion leaders.
[55:35.240 --> 55:38.380]  So, I'd like to introduce you to a German term.
[55:39.080 --> 55:41.660]  The German term is Arschgeweih.
[55:42.160 --> 55:42.260]  Okay.
[55:42.800 --> 55:43.280]  Arschgeweih.
[55:43.440 --> 55:44.200]  I think there is...
[55:44.200 --> 55:46.800]  It's, you know, the tribal things that are on your backside.
[55:47.180 --> 55:47.300]  You know?
[55:47.440 --> 55:48.080]  The tramp stamp.
[55:48.200 --> 55:49.140]  That tramp stamp.
[55:49.220 --> 55:49.320]  Yeah.
[55:49.360 --> 55:49.980]  The tramp stamp.
[55:50.160 --> 55:51.520]  That's the American term for that.
[55:51.660 --> 55:52.660]  And I tell you what.
[55:52.840 --> 55:58.720]  If you take the term Arschgeweih and translate it to English, it's ass antlers.
[56:00.200 --> 56:00.680]  Okay.
[56:04.220 --> 56:06.400]  And that's kind of cool, isn't it?
[56:06.560 --> 56:09.760]  So, I want you to use the term ass antlers.
[56:09.760 --> 56:13.300]  And I try to find out how far it can go.
[56:14.520 --> 56:15.120]  Okay.
[56:15.420 --> 56:18.720]  And maybe it will end up on Fox News or...
[56:18.720 --> 56:19.120]  I don't know.
[56:19.380 --> 56:19.620]  Okay.
[56:19.900 --> 56:20.400]  Good, good.
[56:20.520 --> 56:23.960]  But I'm not here to take you down because of your language.
[56:24.540 --> 56:25.140]  Uh...
[56:26.420 --> 56:30.860]  I'm here because I want to introduce you a new song.
[56:30.860 --> 56:34.320]  I was thinking of, you know, I was talking about corporate anthems.
[56:34.460 --> 56:38.460]  And I was thinking there should be something like a hacker theme song.
[56:38.700 --> 56:38.780]  Yeah?
[56:39.340 --> 56:40.820]  Something we can feel good about.
[56:41.040 --> 56:41.140]  Okay?
[56:41.440 --> 56:46.800]  So, I was scanning my archives and I found an interesting song from 1996.
[56:46.800 --> 56:48.640]  It's a German song.
[56:48.800 --> 56:51.540]  I have the translation in English on screen right now.
[56:52.360 --> 56:52.960]  Uh...
[56:52.960 --> 56:55.700]  The song is called Surfen Multimedia.
[56:55.960 --> 56:56.380]  Okay?
[56:58.200 --> 56:58.780]  Uh...
[56:58.780 --> 57:00.200]  Background story about that one.
[57:01.320 --> 57:01.920]  Um...
[57:01.920 --> 57:02.540]  Let's have it here.
[57:02.660 --> 57:06.880]  Surfen Multimedia from 1996 by a group called Eurocats.
[57:07.060 --> 57:07.260]  Okay?
[57:07.260 --> 57:11.880]  And actually, it's Euro Schlager Trash Pop.
[57:12.300 --> 57:12.620]  Okay?
[57:12.980 --> 57:16.900]  You may never hear about Schlager again, but you'll get the feeling if you hear it.
[57:17.040 --> 57:17.160]  Okay?
[57:18.840 --> 57:21.360]  This song was ahead of its time.
[57:22.000 --> 57:29.440]  Like a pretty white trash Schlager techno song in 1996 singing about the Internet.
[57:30.020 --> 57:31.540]  Of course, uh...
[57:31.540 --> 57:32.900]  There was no market for that.
[57:33.200 --> 57:35.180]  But I see the market here.
[57:35.460 --> 57:35.880]  Okay?
[57:37.480 --> 57:42.400]  So, you won't be able to sing with me because it's in German and you only get the really bad translation.
[57:42.680 --> 57:44.820]  But I think you should feel good about it.
[57:44.980 --> 57:48.580]  And if you want to stand up and dance, please do it.
[57:48.720 --> 57:48.980]  Okay?
[57:49.660 --> 57:50.100]  Uh...
[57:50.100 --> 57:53.320]  By the way, a big applause for the guys from A and V.
[57:55.980 --> 57:57.000]  They are incredible.
[58:01.830 --> 58:06.550]  They actually make us being able to be heard by you.
[58:07.310 --> 58:07.750]  Uh...
[58:07.750 --> 58:08.590]  Okay, so...
[58:08.590 --> 58:10.210]  Please start the song.
[58:10.470 --> 58:12.750]  It's Surf and Multimedia and...
[58:13.630 --> 58:14.230]  Yeah!
[58:17.600 --> 58:18.240]  Volume!
[58:24.490 --> 58:31.290]  You're doing the thing with all the people call it to be a music show?

[58:39.310 --> 58:44.330]  One day, and I really remember it ok money for you.

[58:49.950 --> 58:50.090]  Let me just go!
[58:50.090 --> 58:51.410]  I'm an Autobahn.

[59:18.350 --> 59:21.450]  Apart from the bad times!
[59:21.670 --> 59:23.850]  For the most frequent, constant.
[59:25.410 --> 59:26.030]  The third sentence mal alone.
[59:26.110 --> 59:35.450]  The third sentence is back on me.
[59:37.190 --> 59:40.770]  We are nowBN.
[59:40.770 --> 59:48.090]  I'm going to find you and we are about to base a LAUGHTER space.
[59:48.510 --> 59:58.410]  I play with hands, serve and serve through the world with multimedia.
[01:00:00.450 --> 01:00:04.290]  Ada, surfer and serve by the Internet.
[01:00:13.990 --> 01:00:15.730]  We are back.
[01:00:21.330 --> 01:00:27.670]  With Bits and bytes, with mouse and click, we're on tour.

[01:01:23.470 --> 01:01:24.690]  Oh, those Germans.
[01:01:24.870 --> 01:01:26.910]  First, they bring us the Neubauten and then that.
[01:01:27.190 --> 01:01:27.470]  Oh, my.
[01:01:28.250 --> 01:01:32.530]  If you want to download the song, it's on the monochrom blog in maybe five minutes.
[01:01:32.750 --> 01:01:36.930]  You can download the MP3 and creep the shit out of other people.
[01:01:36.930 --> 01:01:37.450]  Okay.
[01:01:40.210 --> 01:01:40.830]  It's here.
[01:01:45.890 --> 01:01:47.030]  Someone in charge here?
[01:01:49.430 --> 01:01:51.290]  Okay, yeah, he is here, of course.
[01:01:59.670 --> 01:02:01.690]  That's a lot better than a funeral march, isn't it?
[01:02:03.990 --> 01:02:04.430]  Okay.
[01:02:04.430 --> 01:02:06.230]  Well, we have so many more people to go through.
[01:02:06.590 --> 01:02:07.570]  Aldert, I see you over there.
[01:02:07.670 --> 01:02:10.530]  You were at registration with Juintz almost all the time.
[01:02:10.870 --> 01:02:12.350]  Any fun stories to tell?
[01:02:14.050 --> 01:02:19.930]  Aldert came here from Holland just to tell our press people that they can't get in for free.
[01:02:21.530 --> 01:02:23.150]  Did you turn away Fox News?
[01:02:23.450 --> 01:02:23.850]  Yes.
[01:02:24.090 --> 01:02:24.750]  You did?
[01:02:25.250 --> 01:02:25.850]  All right.
[01:02:35.270 --> 01:02:40.130]  Yeah, I had about 800 emails from all kinds of press people and press organizations.
[01:02:40.410 --> 01:02:45.310]  And basically, I told them all, you know, you can get in for free if you put some press up front.
[01:02:45.310 --> 01:02:46.930]  And all they said, well, we have a blog.
[01:02:47.110 --> 01:02:48.970]  I said, no, we have blogs ourselves.
[01:02:50.670 --> 01:02:51.510]  That's not good enough.
[01:02:51.790 --> 01:02:56.270]  And only like a handful, eight, actually managed to give us some up front publicity.
[01:02:56.430 --> 01:02:57.910]  And all the other ones were not allowed in for free.
[01:02:57.910 --> 01:02:58.890]  That's it.
[01:03:08.220 --> 01:03:11.120]  Eric actually mentioned Fox News especially.
[01:03:11.620 --> 01:03:14.140]  And indeed, they tried four times.
[01:03:14.540 --> 01:03:16.140]  So, you know, you got what you wanted.
[01:03:16.440 --> 01:03:17.420]  No Fox News.
[01:03:21.100 --> 01:03:26.240]  I was also on the core mailing list and about 4,000 emails were exchanged this time.
[01:03:26.720 --> 01:03:28.220]  That's a record, actually.
[01:03:29.040 --> 01:03:30.940]  Last time, about half.
[01:03:31.160 --> 01:03:36.020]  But, you know, 1,500 of the emails were dedicated to the RFID tagging.
[01:03:36.300 --> 01:03:39.460]  If you know how much effort it was, it's not normal.
[01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:44.180]  This was incredibly lot of effort by lots and lots of extra people.
[01:03:44.180 --> 01:03:47.860]  So, I would say an extra hand of applause for the people who did this project.
[01:03:58.220 --> 01:04:00.400]  Also, the people who really organized this.
[01:04:00.560 --> 01:04:01.740]  That's only like five people.
[01:04:02.020 --> 01:04:03.560]  It works like clockwork.
[01:04:03.720 --> 01:04:04.520]  They know what to do.
[01:04:04.620 --> 01:04:05.500]  They know where to get it.
[01:04:05.560 --> 01:04:08.560]  They know how to barter, how to get it cheaper than ever.
[01:04:08.840 --> 01:04:12.380]  It's incredible how incredibly tight budget this is possible.
[01:04:12.600 --> 01:04:15.000]  In Europe, you cannot do this for $80.
[01:04:15.600 --> 01:04:16.040]  $80.
[01:04:16.480 --> 01:04:18.000]  That's amazing, guys.
[01:04:18.500 --> 01:04:22.320]  I find this amazing from being from Europe to do this for $80.
[01:04:23.780 --> 01:04:25.220]  Give yourself a round of applause.
[01:04:32.940 --> 01:04:36.300]  One of the reasons we can do it for cheap is because we have so many talented people.
[01:04:36.460 --> 01:04:44.300]  For instance, Adam and Chris with the AV are capable of just finding incredible deals so that we don't get ripped off too badly.
[01:04:45.260 --> 01:04:51.780]  And we just have so many talented people that are doing work that ordinarily would cost a fortune to pull off.
[01:04:51.780 --> 01:04:53.100]  For instance, the artwork.
[01:04:53.220 --> 01:04:55.720]  The artwork from the program and on the badges.
[01:04:56.380 --> 01:04:58.120]  Our artist, Fred, is around here somewhere.
[01:04:58.700 --> 01:05:00.200]  He did an incredible job.
[01:05:11.270 --> 01:05:16.660]  And Mark S., who laid out all the entire program so that all of you can figure out where to go and when.
[01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:20.770]  Not here right now, but also worthy of a lot of applause, I think.
[01:05:27.120 --> 01:05:29.760]  Plus, our friends who are giving everybody rides on the Segway.
[01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:30.520]  Did you all take rides?
[01:05:31.080 --> 01:05:31.440]  Yeah?
[01:05:33.220 --> 01:05:34.540]  Anybody wipe out too badly?
[01:05:34.680 --> 01:05:35.280]  I saw a couple.
[01:05:35.420 --> 01:05:35.580]  Wow.
[01:05:36.760 --> 01:05:37.480]  You're one of them?
[01:05:38.780 --> 01:05:39.140]  Okay.
[01:05:39.740 --> 01:05:42.000]  A-Team, anything you want to say about Segway teaching?
[01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:45.160]  Hello?
[01:05:45.440 --> 01:05:45.700]  Okay.
[01:05:46.160 --> 01:05:48.800]  Well, I want to first thank all the people who helped me run this.
[01:05:49.140 --> 01:05:51.140]  I got a little bit of a list, but I don't want to leave anyone out.
[01:05:51.540 --> 01:05:53.200]  Dylan, Notkevin.
[01:05:53.600 --> 01:05:56.580]  My best friend is .
[01:05:58.140 --> 01:06:01.300]  I know that I took the biggest fall of all on the Segway.
[01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:06.840]  I don't know if anyone saw...
[01:06:06.840 --> 01:06:08.640]  I don't want people applauding that, but...
[01:06:09.060 --> 01:06:17.000]  I don't know if anyone saw on Friday night, there's that yellow thing covering the wires right after the elevators, and I got a little air on it, and I didn't land so nice.
[01:06:17.200 --> 01:06:19.580]  I have a wound I could show you after, but it's kind of nasty.
[01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:24.200]  And I want to apologize to the knock for the three people who crashed into your Styrofoam wall.
[01:06:25.140 --> 01:06:26.180]  We tried our best.
[01:06:26.340 --> 01:06:28.440]  We instructed everybody, but you know, what are you going to do?
[01:06:28.500 --> 01:06:28.840]  It happens.
[01:06:28.980 --> 01:06:33.940]  And we also said that we mentioned this, if anybody wants to buy a Segway, go to the New York City Motorcycle Club.
[01:06:34.120 --> 01:06:40.040]  Some people out in Queens that rented us these things, and maybe they'll rent them to us again if a bunch of you buy them.
[01:06:44.540 --> 01:06:52.180]  And, of course, we mentioned the artwork, and, of course, the artwork inside the actual space itself, the caskets.
[01:06:52.600 --> 01:06:53.700]  Well, actually, not the caskets.
[01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:55.320]  We found those someplace else.
[01:06:55.440 --> 01:06:55.860]  Long story.
[01:06:57.600 --> 01:06:59.140]  We dug them up somewhere.
[01:06:59.140 --> 01:07:04.400]  But all the other... the little... what's the word for it?
[01:07:04.660 --> 01:07:06.600]  The candles and... what?
[01:07:06.780 --> 01:07:07.560]  Yeah, the artwork here.
[01:07:07.840 --> 01:07:08.360]  Installation art.
[01:07:08.600 --> 01:07:09.420]  Yes, installation art.
[01:07:09.540 --> 01:07:10.160]  Well, there's that, too.
[01:07:10.300 --> 01:07:14.080]  But I'm talking about what was happening on stage and the signs and all that.
[01:07:14.480 --> 01:07:14.780]  Rob T. Firefly, Grey Frequency, putting all that together.
[01:07:18.180 --> 01:07:18.380]  And...
[01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:20.780]  There's Grey.
[01:07:26.330 --> 01:07:27.730]  And I heard people want to buy this.
[01:07:27.870 --> 01:07:29.310]  I heard people want to buy the artwork.
[01:07:29.430 --> 01:07:30.290]  Is there any update on that, Rob?
[01:07:30.710 --> 01:07:40.490]  We have had some interest expressed, which, frankly, is a surprise and a very huge ego boost to both myself and Grey Frequency, who...
[01:07:40.490 --> 01:07:45.390]  It was a total co-production between the two of us in the Grey Fire studios on Long Island, a.k.a.
[01:07:45.450 --> 01:07:46.230]  my filthy basement.
[01:07:48.950 --> 01:07:53.490]  So, I just... I have to thank... I have to thank Grey for all our help on the project and...
[01:07:53.490 --> 01:07:53.990]  Grey, wave.
[01:07:54.050 --> 01:07:54.750]  You know, doing with it.
[01:07:54.890 --> 01:07:55.370]  Come on out here.
[01:07:55.550 --> 01:07:55.770]  Come on out here.
[01:07:55.770 --> 01:07:55.770]  Wave.
[01:07:55.770 --> 01:07:56.290]  Wave to people.
[01:07:56.390 --> 01:07:56.630]  Come on.
[01:07:56.630 --> 01:07:56.670]  Yeah.
[01:08:15.830 --> 01:08:21.330]  And I also have to thank Grey's husband, RenderMan, for helping with the final assembly of the finished products.
[01:08:21.550 --> 01:08:22.730]  Do we want to tell the story?
[01:08:23.070 --> 01:08:24.250]  Do we want to tell the story?
[01:08:24.250 --> 01:08:24.330]  Tell the story.
[01:08:24.890 --> 01:08:26.590]  About how they became husband and wife.
[01:08:26.630 --> 01:08:27.630]  Grey wants to tell the story.
[01:08:27.670 --> 01:08:28.570]  Grey wants to tell the story.
[01:08:28.850 --> 01:08:29.410]  Do you want to tell the story, Grey?
[01:08:30.190 --> 01:08:30.510]  Here.
[01:08:31.450 --> 01:08:31.890]  Hang on.
[01:08:34.530 --> 01:08:34.930]  Thank you.
[01:08:34.930 --> 01:08:36.950]  Render is the speaker at H2K2.
[01:08:37.710 --> 01:08:39.650]  And I saw him across the room wearing a similar hat.
[01:08:40.030 --> 01:08:41.230]  And thought he was cute.
[01:08:41.550 --> 01:08:44.990]  And there's pictures online that are blurry, because I thought he was that cute.
[01:08:46.810 --> 01:08:47.210]  So...
[01:08:53.770 --> 01:08:57.010]  So, the next HOPE afterwards, he flirted with me.
[01:08:57.010 --> 01:08:58.330]  And we ended up dating.
[01:08:59.510 --> 01:09:01.430]  And it's a bit of history after that.
[01:09:01.970 --> 01:09:03.150]  So, thank you, HOPE.
[01:09:04.390 --> 01:09:06.790]  And thank you, Emmanuel, for having HOPE.
[01:09:13.880 --> 01:09:16.640]  Matchmaking, just one more service we provide here at the HOPE conferences.
[01:09:17.760 --> 01:09:24.800]  If there's any other stories out there of people who have met up at conferences, or perhaps children that have been conceived at conferences.
[01:09:25.140 --> 01:09:25.400]  I don't know.
[01:09:27.500 --> 01:09:29.740]  Couples who have broken up because of the conference.
[01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:31.020]  I'm sure that's happened a lot.
[01:09:33.460 --> 01:09:33.820]  Yeah.
[01:09:34.180 --> 01:09:36.140]  No one's gotten arrested at this conference, I don't think.
[01:09:36.240 --> 01:09:37.320]  Steve Rambam made it out safely.
[01:09:38.980 --> 01:09:39.520]  I hope.
[01:09:40.340 --> 01:09:40.460]  Yes.
[01:09:40.660 --> 01:09:41.900]  Thanks to our security team.
[01:09:43.660 --> 01:09:45.140]  Nick, you also had something you wanted to add.
[01:09:45.480 --> 01:09:45.760]  Oh, yeah.
[01:09:45.860 --> 01:09:49.660]  I was too busy thinking about my Club-Mate to properly thank my Hackerspace Village people.
[01:09:49.660 --> 01:10:02.040]  Would all the people from HacDC, Hack Toronto, the Hacktory, C4, MetaLab, and Noisebridge, could you all stand up real quickly if you're out in the audience, if you're still here?
[01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:07.140]  Could you give these guys a huge round of applause for throwing a great, great village?
[01:10:16.420 --> 01:10:19.640]  I think it was an incredible, incredible experience.
[01:10:19.780 --> 01:10:22.700]  I especially want to thank Mitch again for running such a great microcontroller workshop.
[01:10:22.900 --> 01:10:24.380]  That was busy 24-7.
[01:10:24.500 --> 01:10:26.300]  Could we just give him another round of applause real, real quickly?
[01:10:34.020 --> 01:10:37.540]  A lot of people were coming up to me today saying, oh, wow, this was such a great thing.
[01:10:37.760 --> 01:10:38.740]  It was such a great success.
[01:10:38.920 --> 01:10:46.960]  But ultimately, whether or not the Hackerspace Village is a success or a failure will depend on whether or not you go out and build hackerspaces where you live.
[01:10:47.120 --> 01:10:48.620]  Check out hackerspaces.org.
[01:10:48.620 --> 01:10:50.600]  And thank you very much for letting me run this here.
[01:10:50.700 --> 01:10:50.960]  Thank you.
[01:10:57.650 --> 01:11:07.990]  Nick deserves so much credit for spreading the news about hackerspaces throughout this country and visiting places all throughout the world to learning how they run hackerspaces.
[01:11:08.240 --> 01:11:09.150]  So it's a real movement.
[01:11:09.270 --> 01:11:10.940]  It's something that's spreading all over the place.
[01:11:11.150 --> 01:11:14.120]  And in another couple of years, I can only imagine what it's going to be like.
[01:11:14.400 --> 01:11:19.040]  It's really... I've never felt this optimistic about the whole concept of hackerspaces.
[01:11:19.660 --> 01:11:21.160]  Not since the days of the loft, I guess.
[01:11:21.620 --> 01:11:22.070]  Okay.
[01:11:22.500 --> 01:11:26.230]  Now, Bernie has been involved in many things in the conference.
[01:11:26.490 --> 01:11:33.660]  But there's one thing in particular that I'd like to have him talk about, which I think is maybe one of the most important things that we could have done.
[01:11:34.070 --> 01:11:35.650]  And I'm very happy that it worked.
[01:11:35.940 --> 01:11:37.620]  And Bernie, why don't you tell the story?
[01:11:38.300 --> 01:11:41.740]  Many here probably have heard of the radio show Off the Hook.
[01:11:41.740 --> 01:11:54.380]  And one of our long-time brethren, Jim Vicente, also known as Jeopardy Jim, has... many of us may know that he was struck down by a stroke last year, a pretty serious stroke.
[01:11:54.620 --> 01:11:57.690]  And he's been making a remarkable recovery over the past few months.
[01:11:57.800 --> 01:12:00.530]  But this weekend has been his first public appearance.
[01:12:01.200 --> 01:12:04.840]  And a lot of people went to a lot of effort to bring Jim here.
[01:12:04.940 --> 01:12:06.070]  Jim, can you stand up for a second?
[01:12:06.900 --> 01:12:07.580]  Stand up.
[01:12:25.230 --> 01:12:26.870]  Let me just jump in for a second.
[01:12:26.870 --> 01:12:31.370]  A lot of people wanted to have Jim come to the conference and take part in it.
[01:12:31.630 --> 01:12:33.910]  But we were all so busy organizing the conference.
[01:12:34.050 --> 01:12:36.330]  Bernie is the one who took the time to make it happen.
[01:12:36.490 --> 01:12:49.230]  I don't know how he did it, but made dozens of phone calls and somehow made it a priority to get him over here, to have him stay at the hotel so that he would not miss anything from the conference, because he did not want to miss a moment of the conference.
[01:12:49.510 --> 01:12:55.410]  And I just want to mention a few names of people who were instrumental in getting Jim here and making his stay here a pleasant one.
[01:12:56.170 --> 01:13:07.370]  Suzanne Hirsch, Donna Stein, Mike McEnroe, Leo, and Sergey Zagman, and David McMillan all gave a lot of effort to get Jim here and to make sure he was safe and happy.
[01:13:07.550 --> 01:13:08.350]  So thanks, all of you.
[01:13:18.930 --> 01:13:19.910]  Any DAV guys?
[01:13:19.970 --> 01:13:20.570]  You want to say anything?
[01:13:22.230 --> 01:13:23.110]  You're holding a microphone.
[01:13:23.290 --> 01:13:23.490]  Go ahead.
[01:13:23.550 --> 01:13:24.110]  That means I'm ready.
[01:13:24.110 --> 01:13:24.510]  Go ahead, Greg.
[01:13:24.770 --> 01:13:26.750]  So I'm Greg Newby.
[01:13:26.990 --> 01:13:28.750]  I've been somewhat ubiquitous.
[01:13:28.750 --> 01:13:31.150]  It's what I strive for at these events.
[01:13:32.070 --> 01:13:34.310]  I'd like to mention that this is...
[01:13:34.310 --> 01:13:35.770]  I talked about community earlier.
[01:13:35.930 --> 01:13:37.210]  This is a community which is...
[01:13:37.210 --> 01:13:38.490]  I'm standing in front of the microphone.
[01:13:38.490 --> 01:13:39.010]  I apologize.
[01:13:48.600 --> 01:13:49.520]  After a certain...
[01:13:49.520 --> 01:13:50.840]  A speaker after a certain amount of time.
[01:13:51.940 --> 01:13:52.420]  Anyway.
[01:13:53.820 --> 01:13:55.880]  So I guess I just really wanted to point out...
[01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:56.340]  Thanks, everyone.
[01:13:56.440 --> 01:13:56.900]  Great community.
[01:13:57.580 --> 01:13:58.600]  Great meritocracy also.
[01:13:58.800 --> 01:14:02.440]  It's very easy to get involved in these conferences the next time they come around.
[01:14:02.580 --> 01:14:03.580]  Basically, you just do stuff.
[01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:05.540]  And before you know it, you have responsibility.
[01:14:05.760 --> 01:14:07.580]  And before you know it, you're getting blamed for stuff.
[01:14:07.680 --> 01:14:08.100]  It's wonderful.
[01:14:10.020 --> 01:14:19.580]  But I really wanted to say that it's going to be great when we all go back to school, when we all go back to work, when we all go back maybe to house arrest this next week.
[01:14:20.260 --> 01:14:22.260]  That I hope your lives are changed.
[01:14:22.380 --> 01:14:24.360]  I know my life has changed every time I do one of these.
[01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:27.340]  And I think that's one of the wonderful things that happens when we all get together.
[01:14:34.430 --> 01:14:38.990]  I also want to thank Greg for his work in emceeing, introducing a lot of speakers.
[01:14:39.110 --> 01:14:39.850]  Lazlow as well.
[01:14:40.050 --> 01:14:41.050]  And we had a couple of them.
[01:14:41.110 --> 01:14:42.610]  Nick was doing some of the intros.
[01:14:43.750 --> 01:14:44.010]  Any other?
[01:14:44.850 --> 01:14:45.730]  Gus was also?
[01:14:46.090 --> 01:14:46.350]  Okay.
[01:14:46.430 --> 01:14:49.130]  We had a lot of people just making sure everything worked just right.
[01:14:49.130 --> 01:14:51.950]  But of course, as Johannes mentioned before, AV is key.
[01:14:52.530 --> 01:14:56.090]  Without AV, you can't hear what the hell we're saying or see any of the presentations.
[01:14:56.170 --> 01:14:58.110]  And I think it really worked flawlessly this time.
[01:14:58.670 --> 01:15:01.490]  And you guys deserve an incredible round of applause for that.
[01:15:10.310 --> 01:15:18.750]  I'd like to thank Teddy from Media Archives for picking up the slack.
[01:15:18.850 --> 01:15:21.950]  And we had some trouble with the people who were going to record all the talks.
[01:15:22.430 --> 01:15:26.050]  So he brought a lot of cameras in here and handled the DVD recording duplication.
[01:15:26.570 --> 01:15:29.370]  So I'd like to thank him for pulling that off at the last minute.
[01:15:29.830 --> 01:15:31.030]  Yeah, that guy never slept.
[01:15:31.230 --> 01:15:33.630]  I mean, he was recording three tracks at once.
[01:15:33.630 --> 01:15:34.150]  Four tracks.
[01:15:34.290 --> 01:15:35.110]  Was he recording all four?
[01:15:35.830 --> 01:15:36.030]  Yeah.
[01:15:37.430 --> 01:15:38.970]  Burning DVDs, 24 hours a day.
[01:15:39.170 --> 01:15:39.590]  It's incredible.
[01:15:39.750 --> 01:15:41.390]  Thank you so much, Teddy, for doing this.
[01:15:49.370 --> 01:15:53.630]  And I got myself a little overcommitted this time with the AMD project and a few other things I was working on.
[01:15:54.630 --> 01:15:59.830]  So Adam's been really running a lot of the show for the past couple of conferences.
[01:16:00.110 --> 01:16:01.950]  And this time, he basically just ran everything.
[01:16:02.210 --> 01:16:05.670]  I got here and just started working on the AMD stuff and never really stopped.
[01:16:05.790 --> 01:16:08.030]  So he really took care of everything else.
[01:16:08.170 --> 01:16:10.630]  And so I don't know if you want to thank some of the people from your team.
[01:16:11.850 --> 01:16:18.890]  Yeah, I'd like to thank the crew that's been coming out with me from Pittsburgh for years with AB Tech at Carnegie Mellon University.
[01:16:23.940 --> 01:16:24.740]  They're actually...
[01:16:26.240 --> 01:16:31.060]  They're a bunch of them that you won't see in this room right now because they're actually starting to get strike ready already.
[01:16:31.220 --> 01:16:34.480]  That room's already coming down as well as some of the stuff on the second floor.
[01:16:35.160 --> 01:16:40.440]  I'd also like to thank the guys who came out of the woodwork to give us a lot of help this week in mixing.
[01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:47.260]  It's a lot of time on sound boards to do these two tracks all day long and, well, on Saturday all night long.
[01:16:47.780 --> 01:16:56.020]  So I'd like to, you know, people I see in the room, at least Jim and Rudy and all the other people that stepped up to help out with AV this year.
[01:16:56.700 --> 01:17:00.720]  I could also use a lot more people in the next couple hours.
[01:17:01.600 --> 01:17:05.120]  Everything you see in this room needs to come down and get ready to go on a truck.
[01:17:05.580 --> 01:17:09.500]  And so we'll be looking for pretty much every volunteer that wants to give a hand.
[01:17:10.360 --> 01:17:15.220]  We'll put a wrench in your hand, help you coil cables, and get everything ready to go.
[01:17:15.640 --> 01:17:19.320]  So thank you in advance to all of you that are also going to be volunteers.
[01:17:20.200 --> 01:17:22.120]  And those of you who choose to become volunteers...
[01:17:24.300 --> 01:17:27.020]  What will they get for their efforts, Bernie?
[01:17:28.100 --> 01:17:37.020]  If you volunteer to help break this place down and you really put in an effort, you'll get a t-shirt or some other gratitude in the form of swag.
[01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:39.260]  A volunteer t-shirt, right?
[01:17:39.500 --> 01:17:41.140]  A special volunteer t-shirt.
[01:17:42.640 --> 01:17:43.680]  Sorry, I'm getting a phone call.
[01:17:46.810 --> 01:17:47.810]  I'm not going to take it.
[01:17:49.430 --> 01:17:49.850]  Lexicon.
[01:17:55.570 --> 01:18:04.030]  I was kind of in charge of the AMD team and Radio Statler and I made a map of the expo floor.
[01:18:04.230 --> 01:18:08.630]  So everything was kind of coordinated where it was going ahead of time, which was sort of a first.
[01:18:11.970 --> 01:18:13.890]  And the knock-knock, I did that.
[01:18:14.210 --> 01:18:17.650]  I want to thank a bunch of people who were working on the radio.
[01:18:18.550 --> 01:18:27.890]  Nick got behind me here with the Radio Statler t-shirt on was the chief engineer and pulled together an amazing assortment of equipment on, like, zero budget.
[01:18:28.070 --> 01:18:31.810]  We were taking call-in shows and all sorts of stuff going on.
[01:18:33.170 --> 01:18:40.690]  Bunny grabbed gigabytes and gigabytes and gigabytes of Creative Commons music that we've been playing for three days.
[01:18:42.790 --> 01:18:43.350]  Videotaping.
[01:18:43.350 --> 01:18:43.910]  ...
[01:18:46.730 --> 01:19:01.070]  Hypo and TekDarko and Jeff and Nicksoft and the network team and the video-streaming team with Ethan downstairs, who got us the audio from the Talks so we could send it out when we had a chance.
[01:19:01.830 --> 01:19:04.190]  And everyone who did a show was great.
[01:19:05.250 --> 01:19:09.610]  Arca, who had to fly to Florida this morning, was our program coordinator.
[01:19:10.030 --> 01:19:17.690]  And he came in at the last minute, really, because our program director is stuck in Panama right now.
[01:19:18.330 --> 01:19:19.550]  That's Al Strowger.
[01:19:20.230 --> 01:19:24.170]  But he, Al, if he was here, he would have done a fantastic job.
[01:19:26.250 --> 01:19:32.250]  And, of course, the guys who did Digital Music Night, all the musicians, were really great.
[01:19:33.550 --> 01:19:42.110]  The high-frequency noise, if anyone was a little bit offended, if you were closer to the screen, there was low-frequency noise that didn't make it back.
[01:19:42.810 --> 01:19:47.590]  So anyone who was screaming, if you'd moved a little closer, it would have sounded better.
[01:19:51.410 --> 01:19:55.670]  But, also, Peter Kern, who coordinated Digital Music Night, was fantastic.
[01:19:55.950 --> 01:19:58.490]  So I want to thank everybody who put together Radio Statler.
[01:19:58.630 --> 01:19:59.270]  That was just great.
[01:20:06.300 --> 01:20:08.040]  I just want to make one addition to that.
[01:20:08.180 --> 01:20:11.700]  A big shout-out goes to Alex at Slequa Enterprise Hosting.
[01:20:11.760 --> 01:20:17.200]  They donated more bandwidth to run the radio station that we actually had in the hotel, and we used it.
[01:20:17.280 --> 01:20:18.660]  So thank you so much.
[01:20:26.110 --> 01:20:29.070]  Speaking of bandwidth, I know we had the network people up here already, but wow.
[01:20:29.310 --> 01:20:32.490]  I mean, I just got to say, Dragorn and team did an incredible job this year.
[01:20:32.630 --> 01:20:33.190]  It was flawless.
[01:20:33.350 --> 01:20:39.690]  The only times the network went down is when something upstream went down, like, you know, an office or something failed.
[01:20:39.870 --> 01:20:45.150]  And the president of the company was working on it, and we went down for more than an hour or so.
[01:20:45.630 --> 01:20:48.510]  People were watching talks streaming in foreign countries.
[01:20:48.630 --> 01:20:53.770]  I was getting calls from people who saw social engineering in Russia a few hours later.
[01:20:53.770 --> 01:20:56.510]  And that's never happened before, so it's just incredible.
[01:20:56.790 --> 01:21:02.670]  And I think we've really achieved a level of excellence now that we're never going to be satisfied unless we do again.
[01:21:02.930 --> 01:21:03.630]  So thanks.
[01:21:03.710 --> 01:21:04.770]  Thanks, Dragorn, and everybody else.
[01:21:10.680 --> 01:21:19.200]  I've been asked to warn you, for those of you who are flying home, you definitely want to be taking the batteries out of these things, because these are considered transmitters.
[01:21:19.300 --> 01:21:20.240]  In fact, they are transmitters.
[01:21:20.400 --> 01:21:25.160]  And you might piss off some pilots or stewardesses or something, or TSA.
[01:21:25.800 --> 01:21:29.020]  You'll get enough odd looks coming in through this anyway, but just take the battery out.
[01:21:29.020 --> 01:21:31.020]  And that's probably the wisest thing to do, right?
[01:21:31.420 --> 01:21:31.660]  All right.
[01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:34.440]  One last note about the radio.
[01:21:34.800 --> 01:21:44.480]  Radio.hope.net, we're going to have the entire three-day-long show archived in a couple of days, so you can listen to it now that you're done going to talks.
[01:21:52.120 --> 01:21:55.040]  Mike has some thanks for the vendors that have appeared.
[01:21:55.520 --> 01:21:58.840]  I want to thank all the vendors who came and tabled all weekend.
[01:21:58.840 --> 01:22:00.520]  Some of them were there, like, past midnight.
[01:22:01.500 --> 01:22:04.920]  And I think they provided you guys with an interesting experience.
[01:22:05.120 --> 01:22:16.800]  And we want to thank some of our old friends from Differware, and NoStarch, and Make Magazine, and some of our new friends from IT2, and Net Witness, and a whole bunch of other people.
[01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:19.120]  I'm not going to read them all, but they're all really awesome.
[01:22:19.320 --> 01:22:21.440]  And thanks for coming, guys.
[01:22:26.300 --> 01:22:30.640]  The number of people hanging out by the vendors for so long is testament to that.
[01:22:30.640 --> 01:22:33.720]  So that's really cool, and we're glad they came.
[01:22:34.240 --> 01:22:35.640]  Lynn is here to tell us something else.
[01:22:35.700 --> 01:22:37.800]  Another milestone that was achieved at the conference.
[01:22:38.860 --> 01:22:39.400]  Hi, guys.
[01:22:39.540 --> 01:22:43.600]  So we had a ham radio exam downstairs.
[01:22:43.620 --> 01:22:46.060]  I, unfortunately, slept through it.
[01:22:47.000 --> 01:22:59.540]  But Joe was there, and with the ham radio VE team that gave the exam, who were not hackers, but came out, and they had the largest exam session that they have ever done.
[01:23:00.300 --> 01:23:01.400]  at this conference.
[01:23:01.720 --> 01:23:13.140]  60 people, over 60 people took their exam, and over 70% passed and got their ham radio license, or upgraded their license to a higher class.
[01:23:20.580 --> 01:23:24.520]  So congrats, and hopefully I'll hear you guys on the air next time at the conference.
[01:23:26.920 --> 01:23:28.160]  Bernie, it wasn't me.
[01:23:28.380 --> 01:23:31.000]  Bernie, you have some exciting stuff now.
[01:23:31.000 --> 01:23:31.500]  Oh, yeah.
[01:23:32.040 --> 01:23:32.760]  We have a...
[01:23:33.520 --> 01:23:35.060]  Why does everybody do that?
[01:23:36.420 --> 01:23:39.600]  You tap the microphone with your finger, just talk until you hear your voice.
[01:23:41.180 --> 01:23:45.740]  We have a lot of swag to give away, and we couldn't figure out a fair way to do this.
[01:23:45.840 --> 01:23:49.540]  So if you just lend a hand breaking down, we've got hundreds of pieces of things.
[01:23:49.780 --> 01:23:53.240]  And I just want to mention some of the stuff we have, and some of the vendors that gave it to us.
[01:23:54.080 --> 01:23:57.440]  ThinkGeek has given us several Wi-Fi detector shirts.
[01:23:57.560 --> 01:24:01.980]  It shows you actual... if you're in a Wi-Fi area, it'll show up on your shirt.
[01:24:03.820 --> 01:24:10.220]  Some special USB memory keys, some shirts.
[01:24:11.100 --> 01:24:18.280]  O'Reilly Publishing gave us several books, including several copies of iPhone, open applications development, and on Silverlight 2.
[01:24:18.720 --> 01:24:20.780]  Mitch Altman of Cornfield Electronics.
[01:24:20.980 --> 01:24:35.720]  Many of us know him as a hacker who has helped us put the RFID badges together, but he also makes an amazing invention called the TV-B-Gone, which our hotel... our hotel... hotel front desk discovered this week.
[01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:41.260]  Donated several TV-B-Gones.
[01:24:42.540 --> 01:24:44.210]  No Starch Press donated several books.
[01:24:44.340 --> 01:24:45.300]  LockSport International.
[01:24:45.300 --> 01:24:52.760]  Doug gave us several lockpick sets, as well as TOOOL, the Open Organization of Lockpickers, gave us some very cool lockpick sets.
[01:24:53.350 --> 01:24:56.120]  The Lost Film Fest, who put on some really great movies downstairs.
[01:24:57.080 --> 01:24:59.850]  He's donated some movies, DVDs, some T-shirts.
[01:25:01.000 --> 01:25:09.500]  Some company called 2600 Magazine has given us a whole bunch of caps and T-shirts and mugs and mousepads to give away.
[01:25:10.500 --> 01:25:23.930]  And Differware, one of our vendors, has a box of RFID wallets, so if you're worried about your credit cards with RFID chips being... having the info snagged, that's gonna protect you.
[01:25:24.010 --> 01:25:27.770]  Oh, and Wiley Publishing, the publisher of the new 2600 book with...
[01:25:27.770 --> 01:25:28.850]  How many pages is that, Emmanuel?
[01:25:29.230 --> 01:25:31.260]  Oh God, it's about 900 pages.
[01:25:31.470 --> 01:25:32.660]  I'm pretty shocked by that.
[01:25:32.840 --> 01:25:39.350]  But yeah, it debuted at the conference, and Wiley said they've never sold anything quite as much as this in one place at one time.
[01:25:39.940 --> 01:25:44.090]  If you didn't get one, they're in bookstores, either now or next week.
[01:25:44.770 --> 01:25:51.130]  There weren't enough off the press to give them away here, but they did donate a bunch of copies of Kevin Mitnick's books, The Art of Deception.
[01:25:51.470 --> 01:25:53.310]  So there's a whole bunch of prizes here.
[01:25:53.460 --> 01:25:57.350]  If you just help out a little bit after this conference or break it down, you'll get something.
[01:25:57.540 --> 01:26:01.620]  As long as you're just here for more than just a couple of minutes.
[01:26:01.810 --> 01:26:06.090]  And we have a lot of special volunteer T-shirts that are designed specifically for the volunteers.
[01:26:06.090 --> 01:26:08.500]  So help out, and you'll come home with something cool.
[01:26:09.120 --> 01:26:10.510]  You're the guys that make this possible.
[01:26:10.580 --> 01:26:17.390]  The people that help us strike at the end and help us set up at the beginning and just help keep it all smooth the whole way through.
[01:26:17.700 --> 01:26:19.540]  And it's what makes this conference amazing.
[01:26:19.880 --> 01:26:23.880]  People don't believe it's possible to do something like this, and time after time we prove them wrong.
[01:26:24.580 --> 01:26:29.760]  I want to thank all you for respecting the hotel, for keeping things sane and fun.
[01:26:30.220 --> 01:26:33.200]  And I also want to thank the hotel for being nice to us.
[01:26:33.200 --> 01:26:36.880]  I think they really went all out to make sure we got everything we needed.
[01:26:45.870 --> 01:26:52.030]  There's a single personality who's been with this from the start since the early 80s.
[01:26:53.130 --> 01:26:59.040]  Probably could have gone on to a life of success either in corporate America or maybe in the circus.
[01:27:04.430 --> 01:27:08.110]  And has gone by the name Emanuel.
[01:27:08.430 --> 01:27:13.950]  And I think we know something of the history, something of the commitment, something of the level of effort that it takes.
[01:27:14.270 --> 01:27:24.430]  I think we've seen in a number of ways that he's not in it for the money, he's not in it for the fame, and that he's a visionary and a leader, and we're happy to have him as part of this organization.
[01:27:24.890 --> 01:27:25.730]  Emanuel Goldstein.
[01:27:26.190 --> 01:27:26.490]  Thank you.
[01:27:53.680 --> 01:27:56.660]  My only talent... we'll talk about that circus remark later.
[01:27:56.880 --> 01:28:03.380]  But my only talent, I think, is being able to recognize a bunch of talented people that can pull something off, despite people saying it's impossible.
[01:28:03.380 --> 01:28:07.540]  And I hope I don't lose that ability any time soon, because you're the guys that make it fun.
[01:28:08.440 --> 01:28:08.680]  All right.
[01:28:08.780 --> 01:28:10.100]  Any other concluding?
[01:28:10.240 --> 01:28:11.080]  Have we forgotten anybody?
[01:28:11.340 --> 01:28:12.100]  Pissed anybody off?
[01:28:12.200 --> 01:28:12.780]  Who are we pointing at?
[01:28:12.900 --> 01:28:13.280]  I can't see.
[01:28:13.740 --> 01:28:14.680]  Mitch, who are you pointing at?
[01:28:15.120 --> 01:28:15.360]  Kevin?
[01:28:15.420 --> 01:28:15.820]  Oh, Kevin.
[01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:16.280]  Not Kevin.
[01:28:16.380 --> 01:28:16.540]  Yes.
[01:28:16.680 --> 01:28:17.520]  Well, Notkevin's been around.
[01:28:18.140 --> 01:28:19.760]  You've been up for how many hours straight now?
[01:28:20.780 --> 01:28:21.880]  I have no idea.
[01:28:22.140 --> 01:28:23.860]  Something like Wednesday morning.
[01:28:25.340 --> 01:28:26.740]  Well, someone can do the calculation out.
[01:28:26.820 --> 01:28:28.780]  I don't understand how people stay up for so long.
[01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:30.720]  Well, of course, the Club-Mate has something to do with it.
[01:28:32.480 --> 01:28:33.920]  But it's mostly the enthusiasm.
[01:28:34.120 --> 01:28:37.000]  It's the fun of being here, realizing that this only happens every couple of years.
[01:28:37.180 --> 01:28:38.580]  And that's what makes it so cool.
[01:28:39.280 --> 01:28:41.720]  So keep checking thenexthope.org.
[01:28:41.860 --> 01:28:43.300]  Speaker submissions open on Monday.
[01:28:43.940 --> 01:28:49.420]  And we'll be starting planning committee meetings next week.
[01:28:50.240 --> 01:28:52.020]  So don't you all think...
[01:28:52.880 --> 01:28:53.980]  You're not going nowhere.
[01:28:55.160 --> 01:28:56.400]  We need a vacation.
[01:28:58.660 --> 01:29:00.240]  We've got two years to get it together.
[01:29:01.400 --> 01:29:02.220]  Thanks, everybody.
[01:29:02.600 --> 01:29:03.660]  And please stick around.
[01:29:03.940 --> 01:29:06.340]  Help us clean up so we can get out of here at a reasonable time.
[01:29:06.780 --> 01:29:09.140]  And do this all the sooner.
[01:29:09.640 --> 01:29:10.940]  See you in 2010.
[01:29:10.940 --> 01:29:10.960]  Thanks, Mr. President.
[01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:11.020]  Thank you, Mr. President.
