00:00.000 --> 00:10.000
All right, good morning, everyone.

00:10.000 --> 00:15.680
I see a few brave souls live in the audience here who have either recovered from last

00:15.680 --> 00:20.200
night's festivities or didn't bother going to sleep last night and are just joining us

00:20.200 --> 00:22.000
in zombie state.

00:22.000 --> 00:25.320
So thank you for those of you joining us live in person.

00:25.320 --> 00:29.360
Welcome also those of you on the live stream and if you're watching this on the recording,

00:29.360 --> 00:33.120
you probably click the wrong link because this is just the intro talk.

00:33.120 --> 00:35.840
I don't have anything that important to say.

00:35.840 --> 00:38.360
So good morning again, my name is Chris Hennus.

00:38.360 --> 00:44.080
I'm one of the maintainers of the free CAD project joined in my blue shirt glory here

00:44.080 --> 00:50.480
in the back there is Joe Hinchliff, our local Welchman if you see him running at you while

00:50.480 --> 00:56.680
you are on stage run away because that means that your time was well up and he's coming

00:56.680 --> 00:57.680
after you.

00:57.680 --> 00:59.560
So Joe will be the bouncer today.

00:59.560 --> 01:04.440
You'll notice that I am not in fact Seth Hillbrand from the Kekad project who normally

01:04.440 --> 01:10.240
really since 2015 Seth had been running starting out as just an EDM session here at

01:10.240 --> 01:15.600
Fossom and then it evolved into an open hardware and all of that sort of ecosystem related

01:15.600 --> 01:16.600
stuff.

01:16.600 --> 01:19.040
So for 10 years Seth coordinated this thing.

01:19.040 --> 01:23.680
He couldn't attend to this year and decided he'd probably just had enough and was ready

01:23.680 --> 01:25.360
to hand the baton to someone else.

01:25.360 --> 01:29.640
So that's why you're stuck with me and Joe, hopefully for maybe another 10 years and

01:29.640 --> 01:30.640
we'll see.

01:30.640 --> 01:32.920
So we have a lot of really excellent presentations today.

01:32.920 --> 01:37.480
If you've taken a look at this schedule, we have a variety of hardware projects, software

01:37.480 --> 01:41.360
projects, software integration projects, hardware integration projects, it's a really exciting

01:41.360 --> 01:46.680
schedule that I'm really excited to be able to share with you.

01:46.680 --> 01:50.360
Without any further ado then, I'm going to let the clock tick for four minutes, this

01:50.360 --> 01:54.800
five minute that I've stolen from Felix here was really just padding that I was going

01:54.800 --> 01:57.560
to use in case we were running late, but we're not running late.

01:57.560 --> 01:58.560
It's great.

01:58.560 --> 02:05.080
Although, Clement already gave me my five minute warning, so if you have any questions about

02:05.080 --> 02:09.400
this introductory talk, I'd be happy to take them, otherwise we'll get started and feel

02:09.400 --> 02:13.120
it with Felix in four and a half minutes or something along those lines.

02:13.120 --> 02:13.600
So thank you.
