PHPSW: Software and Communities in the Real World, September 2018
12 Sep 2018 at Desklodge

Loved the hat. Really good talk. I didn't recognise any of the characters in the grid other than Loki, perhaps review those?

Can't fault it 10/10

A very entertaining and unique way to get your points across! It might help to add a a pause or break character a bit more as you change from story to reality as sometimes the switch wasn't entirely clear toward the end

It's very rarely that we get a campaign explained as part of a phpsw. Found the talk very refreshing as a guy who has dabbled in D&D I found the comparisons to work very well.

Could just be me, but I couldn’t unpick the analogies quickly enough before the next one came along. I don’t work in a team, so there’s always an additional layer of relating needed with team talks. Coupled with the thick layer of analogy I’m afraid I was completely lost. I literally don’t know what the talk was about. (Also didn’t know who the example comic book / movie super heroes were, so was again lost.) Sorry ?

I think when doing this again it would be good to stress in the description that it’s suited to people who work in teams to save others getting lost.

Well thought through, potential to expand to other members of the team?

Very interesting talk from an entertaining speaker. It does feel a little long tho for the topic but other people may feel differently.

Great talk, did very well for your first talk, I agree with some of the comments below that you should read the quotes, maybe provide a comment about how you feel about that quote, this will also help you gain that 10 minutes you need to make it 35 minutes.

Genuinely heartwarming talk. Gently increased my guilt at having never contributed to OSS. My only suggestion would be to give some of the tweet slides slightly longer on screen, they shot past a bit quick to listen AND read.

You were really genuine in your passion for the community, I think with the quotes it would be best to group and summarize rather than reading the whole thing, maybe by highlighting the key part of the quote in bold like you did on a few.
