Welcome to #monktoberfest in Portland, Maine; this is my favorite conference. @sogrady and the rest of the RedMonk crew work miracles to make this one of the best conference experiences on the planet.
Kicking us off is @juliaferraioli and @amcasari to tell us "Remember how we broke the internet?"
(Speaking of, auto-captioning on the lasttweetinaws.com Twitter threading client was broken. Quick fix from iPad later, and we're back in business.)

A list of Open Source requirements. I'm sure that nobody will object here...
And now @juliaferraioli with "Building Compassion." She's just a wonderful person all around. Let's tune in! #monktoberfest
"I'm a pretty quiet person in real life. I take to Twitter and vent instead. This is the first time I'm talking publicly about what the last six years have taught me about being a better technologist, a better colleague, and a better me." #monktoberfest
"I do various things at @google, from engineering to advocacy. Right now I'm a TPM." --@juliaferraioli #monktoberfest
"Your chart is made out of people" by a Washington Postian with no Twitter handle on his title slide. I've always had a soft spot for newspapers. THIS GONNA BE GOOD #monktoberfest
"I've been at Washington Post since April. We're a small local newspaper." #monktoberfest
Talking about visualizing uncertainty, specifically during election forecasting. Politely declines to mention that data literacy is garbage amongst the general population. #monktoberfest
“We don’t do a very good job of going through what people need to know to do our job.” @edasque making a powerful case for craftsmanship in software engineering education. #monktoberfest
@edasque Interesting estimate. Eric says to expect 1.5 year investment in a college grad to get to be an industry-ready software engineer. I find that encouraging, especially with encouragement toward co-ops early and often.
@edasque By month 4 their making a big impact on projects as well as the culture of any project. So those feeling discouraged by the longer timeline, the value of fresh eyes and energy shows up much earlier.
And it's showtime! #monktoberfest
I dig this conference. Thanks to @linode for the "Trappist" sponsorship level. The video is sponsored by @awscloud. Lunch is sponsored by @oraclecloud so consider dining elsewhere if you're me. #monktoberfest
