This was my first "Calcification", and it was incredibly motivational. I try to be everything Cal presents in the talk, but hearing the examples, definitions, and just getting grounded by the "community's father" makes one question one's engagement, and want to do more. I don't think there could have been a better conference closer. Excellent story arc with sub stories, energetic, funny, and highly knowledgeable speaker in a very entertaining talk.
Truly inspirational keynote. But at some point it was too much. Cal for some of us some of the names did not mean anything. What will get you more attached to the people is to give examples from the country you're visiting. Hint: ak the organizer about something that will make the people from the country you're visiting proud!! Best regards GRR :)
This was actually great inspirational talk. It really explians how things should be in open source community. I'd add one point to it: even if you don't actually like or personally interested in project, even if you don't even ever use it, but you find it might be useful for someone it is a good idea to spread the word about it. That what help so much!
I'd like also like to agree on the following comment:
" Cal for some of us some of the names did not mean anything."
It was unclear did you mention Beau because he is open source developer or because he is your friend. It would be more motivating to pay more time to open-source if you would mention someone who is not a PHP celebrity. Maybe local open source developers or someone from popular open source projects started last year. Probably for that we need something like https://rubyheroes.com

This guy is amazing. Very inspirational. If you're a turtle, he's the guy telling you to "believe" in yourself and he will make you race the rabbit.
