Ah!

Oh, and now the broadcast live.

Wow!

All right, chord moments.

Hey, and welcome to the very first Robots weekly number one, We Ah, I believe if I'm not mistaken, Dan is actually here with us.

Surprise of miracle magics.

That is technology.

Dan, are you there?

His shadow is there.

He's waving, so that doesn't see Ah, Committee on mute Dan, Can you talk?

No.

We have not allowed him to talk right now, Dan.

Oh, I muted you.

Okay, so I was muted and I had to go.

And Monday I always just yelling Never.

Hey, everybody.

So we are streaming to the Internet, which is kind of crazy.

Hello, everyone.

Thanks for joining us on the very first robots weekly.

Now, everything should go smoothly and planned and calculated is if we actually had this all organized.

Um, hopefully, we're gonna get out of here in about 30 minutes.

So bear with us.

We do have Danish all on, and he is head of the International Note Bots Day.

If you've not heard of international no buts day, Um, it's a little competition, little bit of hackathon, a little bit of enjoyment, that sort of spawned from two different things.

But I'm the lead, Daniel.

Take it from there.

Basically, the whole goal is to get people who are generally speaking software developers in interested and excited about robots and robot building and hardware hacking and stuff of that nature.

So, uh, Daniel doing?

Uh, wait.

We should introduce each other.

Okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good idea.

It is.

Exactly.

You have a gradual Chris Williams.

Yeah, I know.

Is what?

Rocket doing hiding under no jazz.

Come on.

Beer, Tess And robots come And, uh, these fun of, uh, really the comp revolution that the godfather of note comes.

And, um, you know, a lot of great conferences CSS comped on has really been a selfless individual who has tried to make developers lives better.

So you're gonna make me cry.

More importantly, we also have with us Matthew pod, Masaki.

Uh, Matthew works in Microsoft, does all sorts of cool stuff.

Daniel blew a lot of smoke up your butt about me, but, um, a whole bunch uh, Matthew, actually one of the key people responsible for bringing for better for worse.

You can stand on whichever side you want.

Ah, lot of the Windows support and Windows underpinnings.

And, uh, I love that that marks of Windows and myself team have provided to the know Js team.

Um, anything else would say, Matt, I don't know what I'm allowed to say about your not allowed.

He's a man of misery now.

I I work a lot with the open source communities within within Microsoft helping evangelize open source working Ah, in and around the M s open tech.

Uh, group is what was Ah, directive extensions group.

Where?

Ah, where I've been, uh, developing us developing software for ages.

So other than that, now I'm just ah, rocking in here.

Ah, beer Js and loving every minute of it.

Nice.

And now we get to our actual guests.

Now, brags a maior, we've gotta get to know each other.

All right, but just closed.

Thanks everyone for watching.

It's been fantastic Exam.

We have Daniel Shaw, who has used work of boxer now works.

Where do you work now?

So you bring a class does Joe?

I run the merry band of brothers at, uh, the note firm and, uh, in my spare time D'oh!

Fun things develop.

Everything's mostly And you also ran, which is quite pertinent to this.

The San Francisco hardware hack day.

Yes.

Organized it and ran it, and it was very successful.

Donna, do not lead us off from there.

Yeah, I'll tell you the story.

Uh, Harbor acting.

So, um, last year in December, Uhm you know myself like a lot of other sort of noti people.

Uh, we're running around doing a lot of conferences, and there are a lot of hackathons San Francisco every weekend there, like five hackathons on there.

A lot of competitions.

But what I really wanted waas a way thio no justification reason together and hang out with people.

But without creating, like, another obligation, another need for, you know, to reach out to a friend and say, Hey, can you can you give a top?

And you have that toppy?

Ah, lot of extra work, uh, wanted something really lightweight and, you know, hardware seemed like a great way to do that.

And, you know, in in the summer, prior to that, I'd, uh I'd run the internship.

It boxer, we had, um, poor engineers.

Two of them were 19 year olds.

And so the program was called the Summer of note we want to know dumped.

And, you know, we ran into a situation with those guys where they were kind of excluded from the, um, from the event because they couldn't get into bars being 19 year olds.

They could give a shit about drinking, but, you know, they they just wanted to go out and get out with the other engineers.

Um, so again, this is, like, another positive thing.

That, plus outcome, organizing event like this, those open everybody and accessible to everybody.

So, uh, that was lots of fun we had over the arc of two days.

Um, about 50 people come, and it was it was a fairly big event.

Box has a really beautiful space.

Um, and we had no crazy things.

Like there's a soup be controlled by our green.

Oh.

Um, there, Max Ogden was doing coffee roasting.

Ah, uh uh.

Control.

Copy, Rosie and doing temperature gauge.

Um, you lie temp are came and, uh uh, brought, like, his pocket version of his CNC, which fits in a small suitcase not far from bucket.

But you brought that up with him.

Um, and, um, forced Normal had a copters.

The weeded Smilla.

Lot of traditional harbor stuff.

And then, you know, we added in three D printing, um, Ryan, uh, last name from joint, um, brought us ah, first end maker baht and was putting out stuff.

Um, you know, my kids were there, just just hung out and and, you know, ah, enjoying the the entire weekend.

It was just a really nice time.

And, you know, there was, uh, there was there were no surprises.

There was no grand scheme of things.

It was just, you know, hacking, because that's fun.

And we did sort of get together collectively.

Share what?

We, uh, all bills at the end of, uh, of the weekend.

So that was fun.

Like the gratification of geeking out and sharing with your friends.

Um, what you created A That's that's most of what it boils down to your soul.

So, you know, I really tried to focus on on that part of it rather than, um, yeah, your winner.

Yeah.

We'll go whiffle ball with it like everybody is a winner, but, like, there's no there's no winner.

It was just like you got.

Uh um, but you learn, so, yeah.

I mean, you'll learn something?

It was actually interesting reading something from the a c.

M saying that Ah, us students are entering in hacking competitions anymore because they're not really getting much out of it.

Me and united, I I'd rather see Yeah.

Just places to go and learn rather than to beat quite honestly, right?

Yeah.

Did you get the opportunity?

Get men toward.

You know, we had, uh, cluster people that were more experience with raspberry pies on.

So that cluster sort of self organized, uh, you know, had you know someone who worked a lot more with rather find some other people that, um, purchase craft supplies, wantedto experiment with it.

So there was, like, baked in mentorship.

Yeah.

Just because, you know, out of out of sheer interest driven, um, stuff choices, So that was great.

Um, yeah, that's awesome.

Yeah.

So that was lots of fun.

Um, I, you know, hope to organize one a lot earlier.

Um, but you know that it didn't work out.

Uh, I was gonna do another one.

Maybe in the spring, but it didn't work out.

Um, and the confluence of events happened around Jack Scott won a bunch of people.

Their ping man said, Hey, when we're gonna do, uh, you know Harvard Happy again.

Again, Uh, on And Chris in kind of the closing statements.

Yeah, it's all your fault.

Uh, Kristen, this closing statements, uh, I guess it was kind of a community discussion.

A but ended up being like everybody gang up and ask Chris God questions So Chris can turn the tables at the end of jazz cough and asked what people want it and someone has.

How can we, um how can we bring the jazz comp experience and the best jazz calm community experience back to where we are locally.

And, um, you know, I e picked a date far enough out in the future to dio an event in San Francisco.

Uh, and you know, just pretty much spot.

All right, let's let's d'oh put it out there and see if it sticks on and see if anyone else is in doing this and, uh, just exploded, didn't it?

Yeah, it was fantastic.

I i used to get Repo Thio thio encourage people doing so I wouldn't be the gating factor of it, right.

Oh, you know, if you're gonna add an event you have used self organized.

You You had your information at it?

Uh, some people's contributors, you know, who helped, uh, then take those comfort contributions.

Make sure that the pull requests got released rapidly.

And now I think where I think we're close to 20 I think we're 18.

19.

I think it might be it.

Ah, At 20 places around the world, four different continents Australia, North America, South America, Europe.

Um, wanting that Antarctica still alright out there listening even if it's just one todo or, uh, go or woman.

D'oh cooling ever something was a single single event that you ran on.

Then you were able to make it a district highly distributed, right?

Right now we're all where in the world, if somebody's watching, they could go to this city or one of these cities and and participated in it.

Do you You want to do a quick rundown of all of the cities I think you guys have.

So, uh, Medellin, Colombia started in South America.

Uh uh, San Francisco.

It's another another.

Go South Bay.

She said go south.

Uh, cool thing that came out of this is like it's gone hyperlocal So there's there.

South Bay, uh, in San Francisco there, like five in the D C.

Metro area.

Wow.

Yeah, right.

This there's Northern Virginia.

There's, uh, Washington D C um, so wait, she people home communities serving their their you know, their localities like, uh, Austin, Texas.

Barcelona, uh, Bogota on, um, Columbia, Denver, Colorado, Kansas City, Kansas.

Um ah.

Canada.

Kelowna B C.

Canada.

Ah, Vegas London.

Um, yes, we have two representing in Colombia.

It's so awesome.

That is awesome America, Right?

Um, New York, uh, Sydney, Australia.

There's a group in the Tri City so out and yet territory, they're going toe to organize the event.

Um, and I believe there's a t least one or two more that they are almost there with having event.

That's enough.

So but actually, one of the things that really excited me was the appearance of, uh, you know, the Northern Virginia's from the D.

C.

Is the South Bay and the San Francisco, um, that, you know, first, I was like, Oh, you know, that's gonna reduce the impact of San Francisco.

Uh, maybe I should should try to do something about that, but actually, that's totally wrong.

because the end objective is to get these local communities together and realistically, South Bay in San Francisco, you know that the people that live and work in those environments cross pollinate blessing?

You think?

Um, so I occasional run down, you go out of my way to go down in the South Bay.

I'm not down there that off, um, and more likely to go toe to San Francisco things And, like, lives with the, uh, incidents that I know down in, uh, in the south.

It So if if that group can really serve its local community and, you know, get though that that group of people together as a regular thing, then, uh, you know, mission accomplished health.

Mr.

Graham was already, you know, ah far exceeded anything that I, uh, that I hope to two ah, accomplish with the event.

And, uh, you know, the fact that so many people are excited and contributing and participating like, uh, my my level of organizing this has been fairly minimal, Like everyone else is taking the idea and run with it.

And, you know, it is, um, as much you know, everybody else who's participating a cz.
