WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:08.000
Now, I will go ahead and welcome to the community

00:08.000 --> 00:12.000
Deverem folks for 2025 and welcome to everyone who may be watching us on the live stream

00:12.000 --> 00:13.000
or on video later.

00:13.000 --> 00:17.000
My name is Leslie Hawthorne and along with my dear colleague,

00:17.000 --> 00:19.000
Lord Chikowski and Shirley Bale.

00:19.000 --> 00:21.000
We have happily been bringing the community Deverem

00:21.000 --> 00:23.000
to Fazdom since 2016.

00:23.000 --> 00:25.000
We're excited to be back again this year.

00:25.000 --> 00:28.000
Things you probably already know,

00:28.000 --> 00:31.000
but it is always best to be explicit and not make assumptions.

00:31.000 --> 00:35.000
The Fazdom community Deverem is operating under the Fazdom Code of Conduct.

00:35.000 --> 00:40.000
If you have any concerns that are related to Code of Conduct or you need support,

00:40.000 --> 00:43.000
you can always email Conduct at Fazdom.org.

00:43.000 --> 00:47.000
There is also a phone number that you can ring if you need help

00:47.000 --> 00:50.000
and if there are any concerns that you have in the Deverem

00:50.000 --> 00:53.000
regarding your psychological safety security et cetera,

00:53.000 --> 00:56.000
you can come and see me and I will be happy to assist you.

00:56.000 --> 01:02.000
That was very, very short and we have four more minutes to wait

01:02.000 --> 01:06.000
until they are ready to take a video of Daniel's talk.

01:06.000 --> 01:09.000
This is a great time to talk to you about the Snacks again

01:09.000 --> 01:11.000
because I am obsessed with Snacks.

01:11.000 --> 01:15.000
On the table here you will see on the left-hand side

01:15.000 --> 01:18.000
delicious gummy candies from our friends at Haribo.

01:18.000 --> 01:22.000
There is also bags of what I would call an America trail mix,

01:22.000 --> 01:24.000
which is a fruit and nut mix.

01:24.000 --> 01:27.000
And interestingly enough, now that I live in Germany,

01:27.000 --> 01:29.000
this is called student and footer.

01:29.000 --> 01:33.000
Which means student food but when you go to the petting zoo

01:33.000 --> 01:36.000
and you get the little turn the machine and you get the little goat pellets

01:36.000 --> 01:37.000
that's footer.

01:37.000 --> 01:41.000
So apparently students are cute little animals that we must make keep well fed

01:41.000 --> 01:43.000
that they grow in knowledge.

01:43.000 --> 01:47.000
We also have some noppers which are a delicious way for a cookie thing

01:47.000 --> 01:49.000
and you should eat those too.

01:49.000 --> 01:50.000
I have wasted another minute.

01:50.000 --> 01:51.000
Excellent.

01:51.000 --> 01:54.000
I should come up with something else clever to say.

01:54.000 --> 01:55.000
I've got nothing.

01:55.000 --> 01:57.000
Why don't we take some ideas from the audience?

01:57.000 --> 01:58.000
Who is there?

01:58.000 --> 01:59.000
Hello.

01:59.000 --> 02:01.000
You have a question or do you just want to?

02:01.000 --> 02:05.000
I have just to say not to open and close the tables

02:05.000 --> 02:07.000
so I will present things because it's not.

02:07.000 --> 02:09.000
This is an excellent suggestion.

02:09.000 --> 02:12.000
If you could refrain from opening and closing the desk

02:12.000 --> 02:15.000
at a table top in front of you while people are presenting,

02:15.000 --> 02:18.000
that would be wonderful because it is loud.

02:18.000 --> 02:20.000
Now it would be an excellent time to open the rattley

02:20.000 --> 02:23.000
rattley plastic wrap around your snack

02:23.000 --> 02:25.000
because this is also loud.

02:25.000 --> 02:28.000
As an American, I am also loud.

02:28.000 --> 02:31.000
There are many loud things in the devroom

02:31.000 --> 02:34.000
but there is a time in a place for all things that are loud.

02:34.000 --> 02:37.000
How many people this is your first time coming to the community

02:37.000 --> 02:38.000
devroom?

02:38.000 --> 02:40.000
Oh, that is so cool.

02:40.000 --> 02:41.000
Welcome everyone.

02:41.000 --> 02:43.000
Thank you for coming.

02:43.000 --> 02:50.000
How many have then to the community devroom

02:50.000 --> 02:53.000
more than twice?

02:53.000 --> 02:55.000
More than twice?

02:55.000 --> 02:58.000
More than four times?

02:58.000 --> 03:01.000
More than five times?

03:01.000 --> 03:03.000
More than six times?

03:03.000 --> 03:05.000
Wow, OK, Ben?

03:05.000 --> 03:08.000
Ben, Ben, my dear friend who has a very dedicated soul

03:08.000 --> 03:10.000
who has been to six community devrooms.

03:10.000 --> 03:12.000
Thank you, Ben.

03:12.000 --> 03:14.000
I would like to keep you coming back here after a year.

03:14.000 --> 03:17.000
So I will now segue into the introduction of...
