A productive evening's work, but felt very quiet and with very few projects or participants. Competing with the social, gamesnight, and the speakers dinner, it might be better to run this event on the Thursday evening after the tutorials instead

A powerful and well-presented talk, demonstrating how a hearing impairment can affect a developer; but with good practical advice on how to avoid it being a problem

A well structure deep dive into some of the more esoteric features of git such as cherrypicking; explained clearly, with good worked examples, situations when it might be appropriate to use them, and details of exactly what they changed.... excellently presented and showing a good level of knowledge and understanding that was conveyed with confidence and assuredness

Perhaps a little too technical and dry (if a talk about event sourcing with beer could be considered dry) and too much code on the slides - code on slides isn't always easily readable, though fortunately the room was small enough that this wasn't a real issue.
But overall a good introduction to event sourcing

Well presented, and an interesting (and sadly neglected) topic that every conference attendee could have benefited from. With clear explanations of why these skills are invaluable to use, and good recommendations on how we can improve on them.
Could perhaps have been improved with some follow-up links and references... the list of book recommendations at the end should perhaps become part of the talk

An interesting approach to providing natural language documentation from code, certainly providing a few links and references for future investigation

Good technical talk about the functionality that ansible provides, but could perhaps have done with an intro about what ansible actually gives a developer, and why they should use it

A fun topic, while still educating; and well presented. Would have been wonderful to have a working demonstration of the lego crawler. And illustrating a great way of introducing children to coding.

A little nervous and rushed, but a well-structured talk delivered with a good knowledge of the subject, and handled the questions well. Just need to learn to control those nerves.

The tempo in the workshop was quite high, so between all the copy pasting keeping up was a bit tricky.
However a lot of ground was covered, so in the end I did feel like I walked out of the room knowing how to apply this in a real life project (or at least how to get started).


Overall a good workshop
