Talk comments
The material that was broadcasted was a challenge to read however the information that was shared was very good.
2/5, not enough cat pictures.
One of the best keynotes of a conference. I might have preferred it as the opener, which would get people motivated to branch out and mingle and build the community that was there at the conference, but the talk is just as effective when it's telling people to go home from the conference and get involved in the community.
Great tips on how to manage process and clients when things go wrong. Loved the (sanitized) real world stories about how her and her team coped.
Might recommend changing some of the font colors, many of the pictures with white text blended into the wonderful background images (could have also been the projector's fault). Didn't detract from the overall talk though.
Great talk about patterns in teams. The analogies to Joseph Campbell's "Hero of a Thousand Faces," movies, and different people on a team were spot on.
Almost gave this a 1/5 since I thought he was going to recommend we watch "The Last Airbender" movie, but he actually meant the TV Show, so it's all good.
Great overview of what is coming in PHP7. Also enjoyed the QA session afterwards.
Good overview of security issues in the entire stack, and different ways that they can be handled.
Some of the code was a bit hard to read from the back, but the overall message and important info was spot on.
The presentation provided a very good overview of security issues. However, I would have liked to have seen more up-to-date code samples.
Amen, Reverend! Community is what makes or breaks any technology, and it's good people that build good communities. Cal is definitely one of those good people. :-) Definitely an inspiring talk, and I'm in the process of rewriting one of my own talks as a result. (Damn you for giving me more work.)
And MWOP: It's not Cal that made us cry. It's the power of the community. Cal was just a conduit for the awesomeness that is a strong, vibrant community.
Highly informative presentation and Lorna is an excellent presenter.
Excellent content and very professional execution. Chris offered a fantastic and practical introduction to Docker.
