Talk other communities uh whether other

41
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:06,759
programming languages or other groups we

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,160
don't act like we're better than them

43
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:12,200
like this is python we're here because

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:14,080
we love python but that doesn't make

45
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:18,120
other languages worse we love them too

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,440
they're all wonderful um we don't assume

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,400
people aren't technical uh don't assume

48
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,319
someone's not a programmer like this is

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,200
a programming language conference if

50
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:29,000
people come here there is a very good

51
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,640
chance that they are into programming uh

52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,160
don't don't lead your questions with why

53
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,200
did you come to a Tech conference you

54
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,480
know open your conversations with what

55
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,120
tech do you work on um we don't make

56
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,200
jokes at the expense of others uh

57
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:46,760
punching down isn't funny um please

58
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,280
don't if you see things like that

59
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,120
happening

60
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,760
um it is a most people don't want to be

61
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:57,840
part of a community where those things

62
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:01,680
happen it's a good idea to just say hey

63
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,680
we don't do that here

64
00:03:02,519 --> 00:03:06,080

173
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,639

a board near the registration desk I

242
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,399
think that

243
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:54,120
has a place you can write down so birds

244
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:56,480
of Fe feather sessions these are like

245
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,959
small self-organized sessions right if

246
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,519
you have come to Pon to meet people but

247
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:04,079
you'd like to meet a particular type of

248
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:06,920
people like maybe you've traveled from

00:10:04,079 --> 00:10:09,800

running anything that you might like to

257
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:30,240
just find some like-minded people you

258
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:31,839
can organize a session uh on the Discord

259
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,440
and on the

260
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:38,880
Whiteboard I'm going to

261
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:42,079
describe the Pac-Man rule so this is

262
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,360
part of those having welcoming and open

263
00:10:42,079 --> 00:10:48,279
conversations is we follow the Pac-Man

264
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:51,200
Rule and the Pac-Man rule is that when

265
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:54,120
you talk to people like in a small group

266
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,079
you form a circle right here's a circle

267
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:59,880
you've all seen circles

268
00:10:56,079 --> 00:11:02,320
right and we say leave us space in that

269
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,320
circle like

270
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,160
Pac-Man and you leave a space in that

271
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,920
Circle so

272
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:11,839
that new people can join you that is

273
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,320
being opening and welcoming and just

274
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:16,480
inviting space for hey I'm just I'm here

275
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,959
to chat you can come in and be part of

276
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,079
this conversation and when those people

277
00:11:17,959 --> 00:11:24,000
join you uh make a new space welcome

278
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:26,600
more people if your groups gotten too

279
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,120
big and it tends to happen naturally

280
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,160
that you'll split into smaller groups

281
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:34,000
and and you'll work it out don't

282
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:37,480
worry uh that's not the Only Rule

283
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:41,600
there's also the snowball

284
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:44,920
rule every day try to meet as many new

285
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,399
people as the number of pons Au you have

286
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,279
been to if this is your first time

287
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:51,560
that's going to be really easy you you

288
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:54,560
will meet one person every day without

289
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:57,600
trying that will happen accidentally um

290
00:11:54,560 --> 00:12:00,600
if you're like me this is my ninth Pon

291
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:03,079
Au seventh in person nth in

292
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,720
total and it takes a bit of work and

293
00:12:03,079 --> 00:12:05,920
this rule is to encourage the people

294
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,519
who've been here before the people who

295
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:11,120
are experienced who know what they're in

296
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:13,839
for go out meet new people welcome them

297
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,920
bring them into the community like we're

298
00:12:13,839 --> 00:12:17,399
here to have a good time and having

299
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,839
people who are experienced and have been

300
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:23,560
here before uh going out to do that that

301
00:12:20,839 --> 00:12:23,560
helps to bring them

302
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,120
in uh lost and found if you find

303
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:34,839
something let a no if you lose something

304
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:37,920
ask a volunteer uh the volunteers have

305
00:12:34,839 --> 00:12:40,519
colored badges green I believe

306
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,639
volunteers have green badges if it's not

307
00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:45,480
green people with green badges will help

308
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:47,920

352
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:53,279
want to before I talk about Mong B uh I

353
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,360
want to take you back to 2011 imagine

354
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:58,839
yourself in 2011 uh I was pretty early

355
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,440
in my Tech Career at that point I had

356
00:14:58,839 --> 00:15:03,360
been been to a Tech conference before I

357
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,800
felt really out of place at that Tech

358
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,639
conference I kind of decided that I

359
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,720
didn't like Tech conferences generally

360
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:11,360
uh and then in

361
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,279
2011 uh a friend of mine tried to

362
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,360
convince me to come to Pon

363
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:18,519
Au um and in not only that to give a

364
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,639
talk at Pon Au which was

365
00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:22,480
terrifying uh but after multiple

366
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:24,480
attempts to convince me I did relent and

367
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,360
agreed to give a talk along with a

368
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,560
friend of

369
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:33,680
mine uh so this is me giving a talk my

370
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:36,759
first ever conference talk uh at Pon uh

371
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,839
2011 uh it was a long time ago uh and I

372
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:41,000
absolutely loved it like the python

373
00:15:38,839 --> 00:15:44,079
Community the Pyon Australia Community

374
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,839
has been super welcoming um and I have

375
00:15:44,079 --> 00:15:48,120
kept coming since s I've lost count of

376
00:15:45,839 --> 00:15:50,240
how many pythons I've been to now um but

377
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,040
anyway earlier this year I joined a

378
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,839
company called Monger DB uh and I really

379
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:57,519
like working at Monger DB and uh it

380
00:15:54,839 --> 00:15:59,440
turns out they were already excited

381
00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:02,279
about sponsoring python confence so it

382
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,800
wasn't just because of me uh they uh

383
00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:07,360
recently discovered that python

384
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,240
developers actually use MB and seem to

385
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,120
be increasingly using MB and so it would

386
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,600
be a good idea to get involved with the

387
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,880
community and have that kind of open

388
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,720
dialogue we can get feedback find out

389
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,759
what people are working on um and be

390
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,959
able to build a better mongodb for

391
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:24,120
python developers uh one of the most

392
00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:26,240
notable ones uh actually who can tell me

393
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:29,680
what the most popular database is for

394
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:33,759
Jango developers specifically yeah post

395
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:35,160
postgress you are 100% correct um

396
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:36,279
postgress is a really awesome database

397
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,600
and it's used by a lot of Jango

398
00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:40,040
developers um but it was kind of

399
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,399
surprising at least to the people at

400
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,880
mongodb that 8% of Jango developers

401
00:16:42,399 --> 00:16:47,440
according to the jet brains Jango

402
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,560
developer survey uh also use mongodb um

403
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,120
and postgress is a really awesome

404
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,399
database that absolutely uh deserves to

405
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,160
be up there but mongodb being on this

406
00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:56,759
graph at all is kind of weird because

407
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,759
there isn't like a supported Jango

408
00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:01,519
mongodb integration um so mongodb is

409
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:03,399
working on one if you have opinions

410
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:05,400
about Jango and mongodb and how they

411
00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:07,439
should or should not work together it is

412
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,760
currently in a not ready to use state

413
00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:10,720
but the code is out there I can point

414
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,160
you at it uh if you have opinions on how

415
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,199
this should be how this should or

416
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,240
shouldn't work um I would love to talk

417
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:18,439
to you uh so please do

418
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,640
that um I don't work on it myself but I

419
00:17:18,439 --> 00:17:22,120
can put you in touch with people who do

420
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,880
uh the other thing is python developers

421
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:25,280
a lot of data scientists use Python a

422
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,679
lot of data scientists are working with

423
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,400
llms and AI stuff there is a workshop on

424
00:17:27,679 --> 00:17:33,559
Monday uh using Atlas Vector search to

425
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,600
do rag retrieval augmented Generation Um

426
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:37,039
I do believe the workshop is

427
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,480
unfortunately full at this point um but

428
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:39,960
that is one of the other reasons that

429
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,000
there seems to be increasing usage of

430
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,080
python uh of Monger DB in the python

431
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,240
Community um because of this feature as

432
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,320
well but if there is anything at all you

433
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,320
would like to talk to us about um please

00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,520
come talk to us at the Mong DB booth

435
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,600

to the pon Community is uh welcome at a

490
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:09,760
lightning talk doesn't have to be about

491
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,880
programming doesn't have to be about

492
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,159
tech last year I gave one about the Fast

493
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:19,799
and the Furious it was

494
00:20:15,159 --> 00:20:22,480
great uh jobs board we have a jobs board

495
00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:25,000
uh out near the reg desk we have a jobs

496
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,760
board channel on the Discord if you are

497
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,559
trying to hire people or you are trying

498
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:34,520
to be hired uh great Pace to put your

499
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:37,799
information um

500
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:40,799
yeah uh information for

501
00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:43,240
speakers uh if you are a speaker in the

502
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:46,240
break before the block of talks that you

503
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,919
are in talks are in blocks of three so

504
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,080
you might be the third one you still

505
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:52,559
need to be in the hall that you are

506
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:55,400
speaking in 10 minutes before the end of

507
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:56,880
that break and stay there for the entire

508
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,000
time so if you are the third in a block

509
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,679
of three you're going to watch two talks

510
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,039
don't worry every talk is great so

511
00:21:00,679 --> 00:21:05,080
you'll be seeing the you'll be seeing

512
00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:07,400
good talks anyway um but yes stay in

513
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:10,640
that until your talk we we do not like

514
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,080
to lose speakers and if we lose speakers

515
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,200
sometimes we cancel their talks if we're

516
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:17,960
not sure they're going to be

517
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:22,440
there uh now for those blocks of talks

518
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:25,320
we need session chairs uh people need to
