If you’re enjoying Agustinus’s #awssummit demo of @carsales’s cool car recognition app, he’s giving a tech talk on it next month at #yowdata! 🚗 https://t.co/Pz1AOHqAo8 @yow_conf https://t.co/lGZ3XtyJ81
Only a hop, skip and a jump from the #AWSsummit too! https://t.co/eoWfAnahU1
Eep. This has all come together very quickly. One step closer to my life goal of hosting my own talk show. 😂 https://t.co/DSqYmZzy2B

AV dramas are fun! 🙃
After some emergency AV work, out second speaker Roaan Vos from @Atlassian is now telling us about their journey to AWS. #yownight https://t.co/S63DBlvUaH
@minxdragon If I knew how to swear in Norwegian, I totally would.
Hearing about how @Atlassian uses its Micros platform to standardise the way they use @awscloud and deploy new services. #yownight https://t.co/dufXwJ1Onh
With over 1400 services on @awscloud, @Atlassian built an internal tool called Microscope to help manage them. #yownight https://t.co/nWrRzvGuO7
RT @melindafentonsm: #yownight Business Agility Conference looking for speakers @web_goddess https://t.co/3xZ8fDMvtA
Final speaker of the night – @drewfirment from @acloudguru telling us why Alexa is the gateway to Serverless! #yownight https://t.co/DJKWWniduP
Great reason to build an Alexa skill – SWAG! @awscloud are giving away a t-shirt to folks who build new skills. #yownight https://t.co/qIFnzYcygB
Nice shout outs to @swardley during @drewfirment’s #yownight talk! https://t.co/5Ppy7oVQbv
Bonus points to @drewfirment for using @yow_conf in his Alexa demo skill code! “Hey Alexa, give me a YOW! fact!” #yownight https://t.co/zosnUDhqFX
@yow_conf @drewfirment If you zoom in, there are a couple facts in the code! He didn’t actually demo it – way too noisy here. 🙁

Oh. Great. https://t.co/cUxsUaQElb
*cough* If you want to learn more about this, we have an extremely relevant tech talk at #yowdata next month from @notsolonecoder. 😉🚌@yow_conf https://t.co/HSgyH6dS2j https://t.co/vYEs4xkdHa
@MxRozen More like downside of being from a small rural town and being FB friends with a lot of non-tech savvy folks, I suspect. 🙁
@rosepowell If I hear you use the phrase “hockey stick growth” then we can’t be friends anymore.
My cultural tastes are most similar to an upper class woman, aged 25-39, with a undergraduate education. A SNOB IS ME. https://t.co/KVXgyyZ9NA via @ABCNews

@mmastertheone @abcnews Is she wearing rubber gloves with an evening gown?! 😂
@LapTop006 @abcnews I was shamed for not reading more Aussie authors. Really should rectify that.
@mmastertheone @abcnews As a cultured upper-class person, clearly I have no experience with that. 😜

Just received my first edition of @HecateApp newsletter from @johnbarton. Can confirm it really does include nautical facts along with tech and business. ⛵️
@HecateApp @johnbarton And now, of course, I’m wondering if there’s a market for a tech business + fibercrafts newsletter. 😂
@freshtonic @HecateApp @johnbarton I already know someone who would 100% subscribe to that.
@stevelikesyou @delitescere @SlackHQ @rands @zbendr @daveoflynn I have some too. Was planning to turn them into a Slack Sock Monkey. 🙈🙉🙊
Straight from the #AWSSummit to @WAWSydney. Time for a beer. 🍺 #devrelyfe https://t.co/LttZitAg7H
Yayyyy finally get to see the @yow_conf logo up there amongst the @WAWSydney sponsors! 👏 #wawsydney https://t.co/qApw1HAse2

The two Sydney @yow_conf Nights I mentioned tonight at @WAWSydney: tomorrow’s with AWS (https://t.co/g3IHdcGitQ) and next week with @lindamciver talking citizen data science! https://t.co/q4TIMqJJCe #wawsydney
@johnbarton @HecateApp Wait, so have you not read the Moomins? They’re AMAZING! Finland’s finest export. I’m a huge fan.
@mrdanielgraham @WAWSydney Should’ve shared a cab!
@kirstylmiller @DevOpsGirls @matthewfellows @paulangov @kaylajheffernan @FrancaLovesCake I think it’s masculine-coded to some degree, but you could make it more inclusive through how you brand it. I’ve seen some tech entrepreneur events aimed at “WARRIORS” where the aggressive branding made it look like a weight-lifting supplement.
@matthewfellows @kirstylmiller @DevOpsGirls @paulangov @kaylajheffernan @FrancaLovesCake Actually I was speaking to one of the AWS managers who works on that program yesterday at the Summit! I’ll admit when he said the name I cringed a little. In the absence of any other context, it reads as a Dude Club (or at least an aspirational one).

If you’re suffering from #AWSSummit FOMO, don’t forget there’s an AWS-YOW! crossover meetup on Thursday after the closing. Still some tickets left… https://t.co/g3IHdcoH5g
@jonoabroad @yow_conf Which one? Our December confs feature child care, and there are sometimes kids at our other events. @unixbigot took his 10yo to a Night on her birthday, IIRC. 😂
@unixbigot Maybe it’s the same. 😳
Intros happening at @GGDSydney! I miss this meetup. ❤️ #ggdsyd https://t.co/i42DEgDiFe
Learning about user experience and human vision from @sepide. As someone who is blind as a bat without my specs, this is relevant to my interests! #ggdsyd @GGDSydney 🤓 https://t.co/NsmSvDrwzI
Because human vision is so attuned to motion, lots of apps use it to draw your attention to things you might otherwise miss. (Similarly, Damian Conway advises animating your code samples in tech talks to make it easier for attendees to follow!) #ggdsyd @GGDSydney https://t.co/Jtjxpo0j8L
Next talk: fellow Yank transplant @nafisa13 telling us how she fosters creativity and innovation even within big corporates. #ggdsyd @GGDSydney https://t.co/FSwdKnhKbz
Yay! Last talk is my friend @currawongwhsper talking about art, food, and tech. 👏 #ggdsyd @GGDSydney https://t.co/gAXQzTicct

65% of the Silicon Valley founders are foreign-born. Countries that seek to limit skilled technical migration are shooting themselves in the foot. @dpetre from @airtreevc throwing shade at the Oz government to much applause! #AWSSummit
