Hi everyone, I'm Chris Wanstrath.

When Jeremy asked me to come talk, I said yes.  Hell yes.  Immediately.  But
then I took a few moments and thought, Wait, why?  Why me?  What am I supposed
to say that's interesting?  Something about Ruby, perhaps.  Maybe the
future of it.  The future of something, at least.  That sounds
keynote-y.

Son, you’re now living in the land of 64-bit systems.

That means that some of your 32-bit shit is now broken.

Not all is lost.

Open Conference Expectations

For conferences, it's extremely important that attendees get top-quality content from industry experts. As a highly compelling format of educating others based on experience and research, conferences stand to be one the best sources of refined knowledge available. Still, it's important for a successful event to have a few guidelines to ensure quality content from the best and most appropriate speakers. Below is a set of guidelines for conference organizers that ensure quality content for attendees and the community.

What We, As Speakers, Expect from Conferences

1. Video recordings: Organizers should prioritize recording all talks and sessions. A conference that only teaches the ~300 people in the room has constrained value and is not worthwhile to a speaker who wants to benefit the community. When recorded, video will be available online under a permissive license (CC-BY-*) within six months of the event.

2. Travel reimbursement: Conferences will reimburse travel
