Groupies, Roadies, Rockstars

"I don't care what project you're working on, it's got a lot of horse shit in it. Be the horse shit whisperer." —Cal

Engaging talk with some great insights. Cal keeps getting better as a speaker.

Cal has a gift for motivating others to action.

With so many musicians in the dev world, Cal used a great metaphor to explain the hows and whys of open source creation & participation.

Typical perfect Cal Evans closing SunshinePHP inspirational session. If he can not motivate you then you probably are dead

The best.

Cal needed a mic he could drop that all.

Entertaining as always ;)

What an incredible talk. Amazing performer.

Always great to listen to Cal. Very inspiring and motivating and always giving me some great laughs. Can't wait to see his next presentations :)

Absolutely blown away. This was such an amazing and inspiring talk and really lit a fire inside of me. Thanks Cal!

Hands down the best speaker I've ever seen.

Holy hell can Cal give a keynote. High energy, relatable topic, and just enough edge (at first when I heard "Groupie" I was a little nervous where it was going, but Cal made it work).

A great closing to a great conference!

Thank you sir.

My new top goal in life is to learn how to be as good of a speaker as Cal is. Wow, he is a powerhouse speaker who is not only compelling but drives emotional engagement from the audience. Absolutely amazing. My new hero.

Charismatic as ever, Mr Evans. I wasn't able to give this talk my full attention (due to a work thing that was blowing up at the time), but the parts I did hear were lovely. You spin a good yarn.
