And we're starting off #Serverlessconf with @forrestbrazeal!

And he passes off immediately to @samkroon and Dr. Pete "Call me Doctor" @sbarski. #Serverlessconf

"We started #ServerlessConf because we believe that this is the future." He's briefly interrupted by a Kubernetes protestor who is bundled out of the room and beaten in a back alley.

"Yesterday we hosted the #serverlessconf hackathon for public good" ignoring that many teams built panopticon-style terrifyingly Orwellian things because engineers + big public data sets can only ever possibly be a net positive for society.

Slight correction: #serverlessconf features 56 expert speakers plus me.

Now talking about the CoC. This is a good thing and I am suspending snark for this tweet. #Serverlessconf

In lieu of speaker gifts they're donating to three great foundations, made better by fact that none are the @CloudNativeFdn.

This is wonderful. I don't need another custom water bottle I won't use. #serverlessconf

"Thanks to our amazing sponsors who made this event possible," as well as @ibm who apparently got lost on their way to a Gartner conference. #serverlessconf

Feedback is super important, use the link below or the #serverlessconf hashtag.

Because the best feedback is funny, insulting, and 280 characters or less.

And with "an event guru" the term guru jumps the shark. #Serverlessconf

There will be a reception this evening. If AT&T is sponsoring it it'll be a terrible reception. #serverlessconf

And now, the Valuenote speaker, @swardley takes the stage!

"Just call me the guy who provides death by powerpoint."

"I SEE YOU, QUINN." #serverlessconf

Mapping is @swardley's specialty, meaning that if he ever gets lost again he'll never live it down. #Serverlessconf

Now talking about Linux distros. The audience of 20-year-olds wonders whether they've stumbled into the past. #serverlessconf

"Let's start with strategy." Accenture employees perk up, unaware what's coming next. #Serverlessconf

No, @swardley is not kitten around. #serverlessconf

I slipped into a coma from this slide. #serverlessconf

And @swardley uses "Kubernetes" as a punchline.

It's way less funny when it comes from your CTO. #serverlessconf

Strategy mad-libs. "I sent these around. I got feedback. 'How'd you get our business plan.'" @swardley #serverlessconf

This is awesome for filler in thin reports, too. #serverlessconf
