morning all! was great to chat to so many of you in the "gather" town 🙂 see you at bar central for more fun discussions today!

I used to work for a lorry manufacturer in Södertälje that was vehemently anti devops back in 2010, I'm loving the ability to watch videos ahead of time. Talk scheduled for tomorrow.(https://videolibrary.doesvirtual.com/?video=551848088)

Morning to the community I love ❤️! Just to say, on behalf of the c30 Nationwide colleagues attending this year - thank you for what has already been an incredible set of talks and perspectives. The conversations that emerged in real-time and through the evening 'back home' have been open, honest, positive and vulnerable - and it's this community's stimulus through talking and sharing that makes this possible. Thank you to everyone and here's to another amazing day's learning ❤️.

Good morning all! 🙂

Reminder: Get yourself in front of your browser for the opening remarks. We’re kicking off Day 2 in 15 minutes! https://devopsenterprise.slack.com/files/UATE4LJ94/F01D34MC2KS/image.png

Kia Ora, Greetings from New Zealand - Looking forward to Day-2 talks.

Reminder: If you haven’t updated your Slack profile to include more information about yourself, now would be a great time to do it. Name, image, organization, title, pronouns… whatever you feel comfortable sharing with this community to help us learn a little more about you. Here’s an example… https://devopsenterprise.slack.com/files/UATE4LJ94/F01C0C6VC6T/image.png

Looking forward to another great day of presentations and interactions on Day 2, all! 🙂 I thought my friend @damon said it best about the crowd here at DevOps Enterprise Summit: https://twitter.com/damonedwards/status/1394800896337321986 So true!!

@damon said in that tweet: > What makes @ITRevDOES so special is the caliber and real-world experience of attendees. You learn as much from the people sitting next to you as you do from the remarkable people on stage. Some how, the scale up in size over the years hasn’t changed this. https://twitter.com/lbmkrishna/status/1394567512205848580

See you in #ask-the-speaker-plenary!!! I’m heading there myself! 🙂

It’s 5am, time for day 2 😊

Reminder: Day 2 is starting now – opening remarks and then plenary talks! Join the conversation in #ask-the-speaker-plenary.

Ready. Looking forward to day 2!

silly question, where do I view the conference? I keep getting sent to the video library

Reminder: Is there someone you’d like to share a video with? Go ahead! Videos are free for others to watch — just send them the link. The people you share the videos with just need to enter their email address. Free accounts are capped at five views during the conference and ten views per month afterwards. Individual (unlimited views for one person) and Organisation Memberships (unlimited views for an entire organization) are available at https://itrevolution.com/upgrade. https://devopsenterprise.slack.com/files/UATE4LJ94/F022CPGP79S/video_library.png

Thank you @genek for those opening words! Great work on making this such a nice experience for many still stuck at home, looking forward to the next edition in person but for now gather is a great replacement 💜

Is there a way to turn the subtitles off? I'm finding them rather distracting.

@jeff.gallimore is there a way to turn off the subtitles?

@genek I'm really missing the DevOps Confessions. I'd like to vote for those to return please. Some of the success story presentations come across as company marketing promotions - "didn't we do our devops journey great!". The confessions would often be much more insightful, getting to the nitty-gritty day-to-day difficulties that many of us on this journey experience, and personally I found greater and more practical learning in them than high level success stories from huge organisations.

@alex Just a little bit of feedback, the audio level of the jingle between the video cuts is definitely a little louder than the actual talks from my experience 🙂

OK - whilst recognising and checking both my biases and mental model...may I respectfully highlight how stoked I am about the talk coming up right on combining Intelligent Control and DevOps: https://sched.co/hLk5 My good friends (and colleagues) @markosrendell and @leanne.bridges share their perspectives, learnings and give a hint of our journey ahead - highly, highly recommended watching :unicorn_face:🔥

@genek101 Maybe its already been mentioned but for next year have you considering running everything through Gather? i.e. people walk around to virtual booths. Join talk sessions in a virtual conference room and then people have to virtually walk to the next slot? Its hard to focus on everything and engage in all places simultaneously. People could hang around after to talk to the speaker or run off to next session if they wanted

I seem to recall someone was sharing a Google Doc we can collaboratively edit to collectively take notes on the summit. Is there more than one? Anyone have the links? Thanks!

Once the OKRs have been used to micromanage tasks or for the managers own vanity purposes it's hard to earn that trust back because now everyone rolls their eyes when you talk about OKRs

Hi team. Good morning. Hope you are doing great. I would like to share you my last paper “Optimizing team organization for increased flow through DevOps, SRE & Team Topologies, Technical Agility and agile practices”. Hope you can find it useful. I will be honored if you can leave me a like and/or a comment/feedback. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jorgeluiscastrotoribio_optimizing-team-organization-for-increased-activity-6800662102483726337-j3Rg Thank you.

I think the Slack setup for this virtual conference is great, 👏 for the curated channel list on joining. One change I'd suggest for DOES LV 2021 - rename #general as #event-info (or similar), and lock this channel down to event staff advising folks where to go next + general conference announcements. / @annp I'm finding it hard to keep up with event announcements vs. reading material sharing vs. questions all in one place. Maybe I'm not the only one? At Lean Agile Exchange last year, #general was renamed as #event-info and made read-only to attendees, it worked well. At John Lewis & Partners, we renamed #general -> #announcements and it's worked out there as well. I think it gives everyone (including me) a nudge to put conversations in the right places for people to find them

the brits are still propping up the bar in gather 😄
