Great feedback Elizabeth! Definitely some great points that would help improve the talk. Thanks!!
Good talk. Could use more visuals, code samples, and practical examples of applying the principles covered.
This is a good introduction to using capistrano and a nice overview of getting started with deployments as opposed to just a "push"
However -
The biggest thing I'd love to see with this talk is WHY you'd choose capistrano over similar tools (no not ftp I mean other remote deployment tools) and what features it gives me. I'd also like to know how it interacts with other tools (docker, ansible, ci, etc) that are already being used - where is it in the lifecycle of an application?
Delicious beer, great people, and very well protected since the cops came after @jmikola's impromptu Lightning/Cloud Talk. Top notch afterparty.
Podcast actually let me up to the mic so I should give it 1 star for bad choices :) But it was fun and I learned about the reddit 60 second button thing and other fun stuff.
Good program and interesting talk, although it would be nice to see information that we could take home to our communities. More focus on the challenges and solutions, instead of the success you are seeing would also help.
Thanks for being on-point. Sorry you ran out of time. As usual Phil does not disappoint.
I think that this has the potential to be a really great talk - but it wasn't very well targeted for the audience
As mainly developers interested in fixing technical problems this is not the best group to do much about political and money issues.
We DID get a lot out of things like the graphs and percentages related to the way schools teach (woodshop instead of computers!!) - but there wasn't anything actionable other than to make the group feel bad about things we couldn't help :(
I agree with some other comments that detailed personal stories of what and how you teach the kids and how we as developers can either do to start our own, help out with the current one, or apply this to our own life and how we approach things.
Great overview to SOA.
