Host Intro (Gene Kim)

[Announcer]: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Gene Kim and Jeff Gallimore.

Gene Kim: Good morning, everyone.

Good morning, everyone. So by a show of applause, how was everything yesterday and last night?

I had so much fun. Well, I thank LaunchDarkly for hosting the book signing last night. It was so great to meet so many of you and to see so many friends, many of whom I have not seen in three years.

By the way, there were several of you that I asked you to DM me about speaking next year at DevOps Enterprise, and I haven't heard from any of you. Actually, I did hear from one just literally five minutes ago, but please, I will be following up with you.

So I was so delighted by the talks yesterday, and all I can say is, holy cow. I'm so glad that no speaker had to go after Forrest Brazeal. I mean, can you imagine having to follow that?

But make no mistake: the talks today on Day 2 are as good, or maybe even better, than Day 1.

So Jeff, I'd like to turn over to you to tell us about logistics and how we're going to keep the trains running on time.

Jeff Gallimore

Jeff Gallimore: Absolutely. Thanks, Gene.

All right, so that reunion party last night was something else, wasn't it?

Did you get a chance to see those most likely awards that were flashing on the back of the screen? I think we can all agree that Forrest Brazeal was definitely the runaway winner for the most likely to be a DevOps influencer on TikTok. We all agree about that.

The other thing I'm happy to report: I was walking around the floor last night, I was seeing all the conversations that were happening. It was fantastic. No donuts in sight anywhere. Well done, everybody. Well done.

Okay, Gene told me to get everybody oriented and get the trains running on time. Well, the fact is that we've stolen all of the time for these announcements for more programming and talks. So head into the Summit Info channel in Slack. All of the information is going to be there. It's going to get you where you need to go.

If you're not on board in Slack already, you can do that here: devopsenterprise.herokuapp.com. Get on board there. That's where all the information is going to be.

And with that, get ready for a great Day 2. Gene, back to you for the first talk of the day. Thank you.
